This primarily Web Hosting event is held every year, sponsored mainly by Parallels for their customers and partners. Bobcares.com was there as well, and I managed to talk to some people about innovative ideas that their companies introduced during the event.

Many attendees may remember me walking around and asking questions. If you were interviewed and do not appear in the video, don’t despair. Your interview could appear in future releases .

Thank you

In my last post I mentioned how setting up a Feedback loop can help you keep track of spam reports for your server. I realized that it helped tackle only a small portion of the problems faced by Webhosts when it comes to email blacklists. So in this post we’ll take a deeper look at what a Blacklist is, how you can use it and you can avoid getting your own IPs on a Blacklist.

What are email Blacklists?

As the name suggests, an email blacklist contains a list of IPs that have been reported to be a source of spam. Most blacklist authorities implement what is called a DNSBL – DNS-based Black List.

It returns details as to why the IP address is listed on that Blacklist, usually including a URL that can be visited to get more details.

  The budget you have per server/hardware.

  If the DC has the right technology to meet your requirements
  If the DC can deliver good speed(without latency) to your prospective customer base

It wont be long before your IP addresses are listed on popular RBLs and your customers start complaining about mail delivery problems. To nip these problems in the bud, we have to look for better ways to track down the source of these problems. One way of better tracking processes on a cPanel server is switching to suPHP.
