You may receive trouble if you receive so much email that your quota of space on the mailserver goes beyond the limits. There are a few things you can do to stop this from happening, and if it is too late, you can recover some space and your email will begin functioning properly thereafter.

First off, you can set your email client to delete the messages from your trashcan when you close the application.

If you are running Mozilla Thunderbird:
1) Go to the Tools -> Account Settings from the menu.

2) Make sure your account is expanded in the left pane and Select “Server Settings” underneath your account.

3) Make sure you have checked “Empty Trash on Exit”. Now when you close your email client, it will automatically delete your trashed items and they will no longer be taking up space on the server.

Maybe your account is locked because you are already over quota? You can use the webmail interface to get into your email and delete large old messages.

1) go to <a href=”http://morronimail.com”>morronimail.com</a> and log in using your email user id and password.

2) click on the “size” label on the far right column of your email listings. this will sort your email by size. If if is not sorted largest to smallest, click on it again to attain this sort order.

3) you can click the checkbox on the left of your older and larger emails, especially those with attachments (PDF, Images, etc) that you no longer need. Click the delete option at the the top and it will place a strike-through font to all the emails you selected. Now click the purge emails option, and they will be permanently deleted, thus freeing space up on your account.

If you will be creating a web store, you will definitely need to setup a Merchant Account and a payment gateway. When creating a merchant account, it is a good practice to start with a bank you already work with. You can certainly shop around for better rates. For a payment gateway we recommend authorize.net

What to know for your Merchant Account application process:
1) If you have started development of your e-commerce site, get your merchant account under wraps as soon as possible. It takes time to work out a deal and even get approval from a bank, and if you are shopping around for the best deal, it will take even longer.

2) Know your products, and know your sales potential. You will need to offer the banks prospective sales numbers when negotiating the terms of your merchant account.

3) Be prepared to deal with fraud. Credit fraud happens. What will your recourse be if someone uses a stolen credit card through your e-commerce site? There are certainly steps to take to head this off. New sites most likely take advantage of better security measures such as Address Verification for the cardholder, as well as confirmation of CV2 codes. (the numbers on the back of your credit card)

Payment Gateways:
Payment gateways work through a secure encrypted route of communication between your e-commerce site and credit authorization services for validating transactions. They are a necessary safeguard against credit fraud. Additionally, you can use services through a payment gateway to process repeated billing cycles. This would be an additional plus if the services you are rendering are to be charged in some recurring basis.

With a merchant account and a proper payment gateway, you will be properly equipped to enter the e-commerce realm. If you are interested in more information on our e-commerce solutions, please contact us

Perhaps SELinux was provided by default from your linux distribution of choice, or maybe it has been determined that it is not needed anymore for whatever applications the server is currently performing. Disabling SELinux is a matter of changing a line in your selinux config. The normal location would be to look in /etc/selinux/config and change the value of the SELINUX line.

# SELinux turned off
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled

However, we’re not done yet! Before you reboot your system you need to make sure that your
kernel boot line isn’t expecting SELinux to be active. We can set it to be specifically deactivated as
follows:

with Grub:

edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst

title  Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
uuid   28cd3d96-e22c-4230-a63d-f7a73ec323e3
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=/dev/sda3 ro rootdelay=10 quiet splash selinux=0
initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet

Note: you may also need to add enforcing=0 to your kernel line, depending on your setup.
