Joke of the Day - LSP

 

1. LSP has a lot of good marketing verbiage on thier site for thier product. I noticed that LSP is considered "The best Computerized christmas light sequencing software available.", although I'm not sure where that poll was taken though since it's not out of beta yet.

 

2. I think that after Aurora 1.1 is finalised, a break in application development should be taken to increase to marketability of www.aurorashow.com. Making Aurora look like the advanced, stable product that it is. We're doing the same thing to our application, holding off on new stuff to increase it's marketability and visual appeal to members. Now, I'm not saying to fluff up Aurora and slow it down, lets just spiff up the site with some testamonials, a cleaner site, and more marketing material. Possibly even an unbiased comparison grid of some sort.

 

3. I find it very interesting that there IS NO COMPANY INFORMATION ANYWHERE about who actually makes the product. Even their DNS is registered by "Domains by Proxy, Inc." -- Just very odd.

 

So is it what Spec2 was supposed to be?

 

On another topic... anyone know a good SMTP smart host to have our SMTP server send/receive through?  I've traced our email problems down to the Cisco PIX firewall not handling the outbound NAT properly, which makes our emails appear to be coming from the firewall address, not from the SMTP server external address.  I've tried a dozen configuration adjustments and can't figure out why the firewall is messing up this one protocol (other protocols originate from the proper address just fine).  Some ISPs (like AOL) don't like the email coming from the firewall IP as they can't get an RDNS match.  My only choices are to figure out a working Cisco configuration or to run everything through a smart host.
