Nvu

Paul Westbrook | 02 July, 2005 20:21

I saw this post on MacSlash about Nvu.  Nvu is a WYSIWYG web development tool based on the Mozilla Composer.  This seems like a pretty cool application to edit html files.

Another cool feature of Nvu is that it can automatically update your web site by using ftp or http.  Unfortunately, I have not enabled those mechanism to upload my html files.  I would love to see Nvu have support for scp to upload files.

Outbound smtp service

Paul Westbrook | 02 July, 2005 19:30

In these post (post 1, post 2) I described how outgoing mail was hijacked while using a public wireless access points.  I solved this problem by sending mail through a ssh tunnel.  It looks like DynDNS is providing a service that accomplishes the same goal.

Their MailHop Outbound service provides an outgoing mail relay service.  They provide this service on standard and non-standard ports to prevent mail from being blocked.  Also they offer SSL connections to make sure your mail is secure.  It looks like they are charging $14.95/year for the ability to send up to 150 messages a day.

mailman

Paul Westbrook | 02 July, 2005 19:14

I have set up a web site for our Home Owners association, and when I did that I set up a mailing list for people on the board.  When I originally set it up, I just used a virtual map to map the one email address to the group of email addresses.

One thing that I didn't like about that solution was that it didn't automatically have a way to archive the posts.  Also, I didn't like the fact that it was such a manual process to add someone to the list.

Since I have used mailman for many of the mailing list that I subscribe to, I decided to install mailman.  The installation was very straight forward, and instructions were very clear.
