FormMail Removal
Due to abuse by spammers we have had to stop the use of formmail
on our servers. We are sorry for the inconvenience. For email forms we recommend
using the nms scripts at http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml
because they were written to be more secure, using strict settings. Do not
name your script using the words mail, formmail, or contact. Our servers
are constantly being scanned for these names and if a form is found with
these names it will be disabled. Be sure the path to perl in the script
is /usr/bin/perl and that the script is uploaded to cgi-bin in ASCII mode.
Permission should be set to 755.
Webalizer Stats
Webalizer stats has been removed due to the toll it takes on the servers
resources (CPU/memory). Customers will notice major improvements in the
stability of the servers once this package has been removed. If you want
to enable webalizer, please send a support ticket and we will enable it
just for your account.
