It's my fault for the horrible explanation of the AOL block, but the block is AOL's fault.
First, the issue only effects about 15 users, out of thousands of email accounts. If you haven't gotten an email from me, then you are not effected. (I thought there would be more)
Second, it ONLY effected people with an AOL account, who are having their mail forwarded from their website.
Seems my horrible writing skills caused some confusion and concern about this announcement:
So... we are going to have to stop all forwarding of email to AOL accounts.
Sorry about that. What I meant to say was, any account automatically forwarding their mail to their aol address will be changed.
For Example:
It seems AOL is blocking email from our servers again.
This is due to AOL allowing it's users to report any mail as SPAM, and AOL blocking NOT the sender, BUT the server it was forwarded from.
So... we are going to have to stop all forwarding of email to AOL accounts.
Some people have been having trouble trying to pay via our PayPal option. For some reason, their credit cards are not getting verified and authorized.
I was on the phone with PayPal tech support for a couple hours trying to resolve the issue. PayPal has no answer except "try another credit card." So, I told them I'd try another credit card processor --- Google Checkout. [edit Nov 2013: seems Google no longer offering Checkout or Wallet for non-Google services]
Here are a few of the more recent sites with Seven Sages:
Zen Cart:
It's been a busy few months. New Years Resolutions, new business plans, new determination to create a website, or finally update a website.
Besides working on several websites after the new year, we are attempting to re-work our SevenSages.com website. New look, re-organized information, more coherent explanation of services.
A few of the projects worked on this month range from full redesign, to quick simple setups of new sites.
New websites. That's the theme of February. Some personal websites, some marketing websites, and a couple of interesting "Information Portal" websites.
Information Portals?
In these websites, they are simply news feeds for information related
to a certain subject. It is an interesting concept, to let Google and
other websites generate the information, and put it together in one
place for ease of use. Some sites can be used for advertising and
monetizing, but others can be simple blogs.
Here are a few recent ones:
Due to some recent hacking attempts on the servers directed at FrontPage, and numerous defacings of websites on other servers using FrontPage, Seven Sages has removed all of Microsoft's dangerous exploitable FrontPage extensions.
Nothing is more expensive than trying to save a buck.
