We use ActiveState Perl for Windows and Perl is included as part of every hosting plan.

Phishing (which is pronounced "fishing") refers to email scams whose purpose is identity theft. Identity thieves send fraudulent email messages with return addresses, links, and branding that appear to come from banks, credit card companies and some of the Web's most well known websites including PayPal®, eBay®, MSN®, and AOL®. These messages are designed to "phish" for personal and financial information (e.g. passwords, usernames, social security numbers, credit card numbers, etc.) from the recipient.

Connect via the standard POP3 protocol to download your e-mail messages into your e-mail client (such as Outlook) or use IMAP to access your stored mail on the server and always have your e-mail and e-mail folders readily available to you anywhere. The amount of space, per mailbox, you have to store your messages. All POP/IMAP e-mail accounts have a maximum send/receive message size of 20MB. If you have to send or receive files larger than 20MB by e-mail, you should upload them to your web site and provide a link to download the attachment. If your mailbox reachs your mail limits, your mail will start getting rejected back to the sender with a message your mailbox is full.

POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3):

Along with IMAP, one of the two most widely used email transfer methods. POP3 simply copies every message in your email account to your local computer. No information is sent back to your email account about message replies, forwarding, etc. If you use multiple computers to check your email, it is advised that you use IMAP instead of POP3.

A standardized collection of commands for the Unix operating system.

Email programs such as Microsoft Outlook and Mac Mail allow users to view email content through a preview pane whereas other programs require the user to fully open the email. The preview pane is important to keep in mind when composing the opening lines of an email.

Privacy Policy

A privacy policy builds trust especially among those who opt-in to receive email from you or those who submit data on your website. If subscribers and customers know their information is safe with you, they will be more inclined to share information with you, which makes your relationship that much more valuable.

Private Key:

A string of characters that a computer uses to encode or decode encrypted messages it receives. Encryption schemes use a matching pair of keys (one public, one private) to create a secret code so that anyone looking at messages sent from or received by your computer will be unable to determine the contents of those messages without access to the private key. A private key is integral to protecting your confidential information and should be safeguarded appropriately.

Python

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse.
