Failure to use the proper host will result in either a timeout, or otherwise undefined behaviour, due to the nature of our firewall configuration.

Users who have a shell account can use the UNIX command passwd to change their password. If you're unsure whether or not you have a shell account, more than likely you do not.

Users without shell accounts cannot change their passwords. This limitation is imposed due to the insecure nature of account maintenance tools via the web. You therefore have the following options available to you:

1. Contact Parodius Technical Support via Email,
2. Contact a Parodius administrator via AIM, MSN, or ICQ.

Please provide some form of authenticity during your request; anonymous or fake attempts to request a password change will result in investigation, and/or possible contact of your Internet provider.

No, we cannot -- and for purely technical reasons. Account passwords are one-way encoded, which means that once the password is encrypted, it cannot feasibly be decrypted. Our password schema is MD5, and in the future, may be upgraded to Blowfish.

Your best bet is to request that your password be changed. See the above FAQ entry for details.

As of July 22, 2007 we use the following RBL/DNSBLs (in this order):

• bogusmx.rfc-ignorant.org
• dsn.rfc-ignorant.org
• list.dsbl.org
• zen.spamhaus.org
• dnsbl.sorbs.net

We also use a whitelisting service, which overrides any of the above blacklists:

• dnswl.org

Additionally, we use greylisting to help curb the amount of spam received. Depending upon the configuration of the remote mail server, greylisting can induce mail delivery delays (in most cases, under 30 minutes). It will not/should not result in lost mail!

We provide the following Web-oriented services:

• Secure CGI support (using cgiwrap)
• Secure PHP support (using suPHP)
• PHP 5.2.3, with many extensions
• HTTPS support (please contact us if you need this)
• MySQL 5.0.41
• Perl 5.8.8
• phpMyAdmin

All of the above software runs on the Apache HTTP server using FreeBSD. We do not provide services such as FrontPage extentions, ASP, ASP.NET, or .NET Runtimes; there are many Windows-based hosting providers who can provide those services. Please look at using some of the above mentioned technologies as replacements.
