Aussie Site Seeing scans incoming and outgoing messages for viruses. However Aussie Site Seeing does not guarantee that every message will be scanned, or that every virus will be detected and removed. Additionally, Aussie Site Seeing reserves the right to remove attachments from incoming and outgoing email messages if there is any indication that the attachment is, or might be, infected with a virus.

Our virus scanning facilities provide a high level of protection against viruses but you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for protecting your property and email accounts from virus threats.

Our system will:

• Block thousands of known viruses (such as BugBear, Klez etc)
• Block virus-like attachments
  

Attachments which end in any of the following are dropped:

adp,bat,com,cpl,lnk,pif,reg,scr,shs,wsc,wsf,wsh

Those are the ones which are both dangerous and unlikely to be sent for any valid reason.

Attachments which end in any of the following are NOT being dropped but a warning message will appear in the main message advising the recipient that opening the attachment could be dangerous.

exe,cmd,jse,sct,shb,url

The reason these are not being dropped is that we believe it is likely that the files would be sent for valid reasons.

Regardless of the above rules, an attachment may be dropped if it appears to be dishonestly reporting itself. For example, a .exe file with a content-type of .wav, .jpg, etc would be dropped automatically. These need to be dropped because they can infect a machine without the person explicitly choosing to open them. Also, it is extremely unlikely that this sort of filename/ content-type combination would be used for a valid reason.

Finally, while the overwhelming majority of messages passing through our servers are scanned thoroughly for viruses, please note that the following limits apply:

• Messages larger than 2 MB are not scanned - scanning very large attachments is extremely resource intensive so is not appropriate in a shared hosting environment. Please note however, that the vast majority of viruses are spread in files smaller than 2 MB.
• If a message contains 4 or more binary attachments, then only the first three are scanned. Again, this is a necessary limit to prevent overuse of resources, and we anticipate that it will affect very few messages.

Autoresponders are a great marketing tool and can save you time answering common questions.  You can set up an autoresponder so that when a message is sent to, say, info@yourname.com, then your pre-written message is automatically returned to the sender.  It can also notify the sender that their email has been received when you are unable to reply straight away.

We set you up with a CGI Bin where you can install scripts.  We provide some  "pre-installed" scripts but they may require some configuration from you. Our CGI Script Wizard makes installation and configuration of our ready-to-use scripts a breeze.

Customer Mailing List Sign-up Form Page

We design and configure an opt-in mailing list form on a separate page which is linked from your front page and allows your site visitors to sign up to receive your emails. The information that your visitors are signing up to receive will be detailed on the page in line with Australia's privacy regulations. Inputted data from your form is sent to your dedicated email address to make list maintenance less time consuming. If you are using mailing list software to manage your list, it can be configured to automatically input data received from your form.

If you host your site with Aussie Site Seeing, we will register and configure your .com; .net; .org; .info; OR .biz Domain Name. At Aussie Site Seeing all domain names we register are registered in the customer's name. This means that for the duration of the registration period YOU are the licence holder of the domain name.

When the licence is due for renewal, you will have to pay a renewal fee. If you do not renew the licence, then it will become available for any eligible applicant to register on a first come first served basis.

You can optionally upgrade your Domain Name to .com.au. (conditions and charges apply)
You can use the Domain Name search box at the top of this page to see if your preferred name is available or visit our Domain Site AussieDotComs for more information about Domain Names.

We can optionally set up your main email account so that any mail sent to an unrecognized user at your domain is delivered to your main email address.  This can be very useful because it means you can use many different email aliases without actually having to set them up explicitly. You can also give any email account an unlimited number of email aliases so that when mail is sent to, say, an_alias@yourname.com then you will receive the email at, say, colleague@yourname.com (a real mailbox).  Email aliases can be set up very easily through our control panel.

You can choose to forward your email to a different email account anywhere on the web.  This is easily achieved through a web-based interface.

The Email Management section of the Control Panel now includes some new tools to make managing your POP accounts even easier:
Set up and adjust redirection settings

• Adjust their SpamBoxer anti-spam settings and view SpamBox messages
• Reset your passwords - you can reset the password on any POP account. If you reset the password on your catch-all POP account, the change will also apply to your FTP/Telnet/SSH/CustomerHQ login details
• Mailbox Cleanup - enables you to delete messages without having to download them first - a great way to get rid of those unwanted large messages

When a visitor to your site tries to access a page that does not exist, they will usually receive the server's default Error 404: File Not Found message. If you prefer you can set up your account so that your own customized 'missing document' page is displayed instead, perhaps with a link to your home page (or whatever you like).

Top

You can access your account via FTP 24 hours a day, every day of the year.  You can upload your site using FTP, or you can use the Aussie Site-Seeing Control Panel instead.

GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is an OpenPGP compliant application which enables you to encrypt data on your web site.  It is compatible with PGP  5.x and has very similar functionality.   If you site comes with secure server access, we will setup GPG for you for free. 

If you intend to receive sensitive information over the web, SSL access alone does not guarantee the safety of your data.  SSL keeps the information safe as it travels to your web site, but does not provide any protection once the data arrives.  GPG can be used to immediately encrypt the data when it arrives at your web site - you only decrypt it once you have downloaded it to your hard drive.  That gives you peace of mind knowing that the information your customers enter into your secure form will be safe all the way across the web.

We install a special version of FormMail on your secure server so that, when you receive sensitive information via your secure server, you can have the information immediately encrypted and mailed to you in encrypted form.  Once you have retrieved your mail from the server, it can be easily and safely decrypted on your hard drive using your PGP or GPG software.

Mailing lists are programs which automate the management of Internet mailing lists. Commands are sent via electronic mail to handle all aspects of list maintainance. Once a list is set up, virtually all operations can be performed remotely, requiring no intervention upon the postmaster of the list site.

Here's a short list of some of the features:

• Supports various types of lists, including moderated lists
• All list management activities are handled by email
• Supports confirmation of subscriptions, to protect against forged subscription requests
  

One subscribable mailing list (with up to 1,000 subscribers) is included with each Site Seeing Giant account.

If you have built your site with FrontPage and you are using any FrontPage active elements such as hit counters, search forms and so on, then you will need to have the FrontPage Server Extensions installed on your site. The server extensions also make it possible for you to publish your site using FrontPage, and allow you to edit your site directly on the internet using FrontPage. Our servers support the server extensions for Microsoft FrontPage 2002/2000/98/97. The extensions are available for free on all accounts.

An excellent database package.  Our servers also support PHP which works very neatly with MySQL. For more information on the way these two products work together you may like to review the WebMonkey PHP/MySQL Tutorial. For further information about MySQL, please refer to the MySQL Home Page.

Reset your passwords - you can reset the password on any POP account. If you reset the password on your catch-all POP account, the change will also apply to your FTP; Telnet; SSH; Control Panel login details. If Aussie Site Seeing is maintaining your website, we need to know the password for the FTP to be able to access your account.
