Frequently Asked Questions

Contents Can someone else read my mail? Can someone steal my password?

SpeedGate E-Mail FAQ
The short answer: yes. Because email passes through many systems on its way to its destination, and because it is usually transmitted "in the clear," it is possible for an eavesdropper in the right place to intercept a message. This is especially true with unsecured or public networks, such as wireless hotspots. Your login and password are also transmitted to SpeedGate when checking (and sometimes when sending) mail.

SpeedGate E-Mail FAQ
The first time you log in you will be presented with the preferences page. Don't worry - most of the defaults should suit you just fine.

Contents How do I configure my Mail reader?

SpeedGate E-Mail FAQ
Your email address is your login ID followed by @speed.net. For example, if your login ID was "bob", your email address would be bob@speed.net. On older versions of Eudora, your POP account is your login ID followed by the POP server (examples: bob@mail.speed.net, bob@dialup-pop.speed.net). It looks like an email address, but it isn't. We recommend turning on secure connections for both sending and receiving.

Contents How do I read the same email account on two computers?

SpeedGate E-Mail FAQ
Usually, all your mail is transferred off of our servers and onto your computer. Anything you download is no longer available if you go check the same account on another computer. Most email programs have a setting that will leave mail on the server so that you can retrieve it from another computer. You do have to be careful setting this up, because if neither computer clears out the old messages, you could end up with with several months' worth of email clogging your mailbox on the server.

Contents I keep getting a timeout when trying to get my mail. Why?

SpeedGate E-Mail FAQ
This happens when your mailbox is VERY large and our POP server is trying to make a backup of your mailbox (for safety). Sometimes it takes longer than your mail program is willing to wait. For Outlook or Outlook Express, try increasing the Server Timeouts setting in the Advanced section of your their mail settings. For Eudora, add the following line to your Eudora.ini file, after the "[Miscellaneous]" section: Network Timeout="3000"

Contents Why does my mail have this "X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang" note?

SpeedGate E-Mail FAQ
MIMEDefang is a server plug-in that allows flexible scanning of messages as they arrive. In our setup, it has three main jobs: First it scans for and removes viruses. Next, it calls the spam scanner. Finally, it takes any attached programs, such as .exe, .bat, and .vbs files, and renames them so they can't be run automatically or accidentally, just in case a new virus slips through.

How do I read my "irc" mail?

Undernet IRC FAQ [Part I] (updated 1st June 1996)
This is yet another common question from newcomers using ircII. There is no mail over irc. The mail notification that you see is the number of mail messages in your Unix mailbox. To read this, exit irc, and type "mail", or "pine", or "elm", or your favourite mail reader. The command /whowas can be used if the person in question has signed off recently (this depends - usually not more than 5-10 minutes). /whowas Mmmm for example, will tell you if a person with nickname Mmmm was on irc recently.

Why do I get disconnected or freeze when I try to read or send mail?

Unofficial AOL Email FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
If you are regularly disconnected when trying to send or read email, check to make sure you are dialing into AOL at your modem's maximum speed. If you already are, try setting it to a lower speed. Make sure you've selected the correct profile for your modem in the AOL setup. If all that checks out, try a different local phone number (access numbers can be found at Keyword: Access). If several local phone numbers all have the same problem, it could be the quality of your physical phone line.

What can I steal ?

Superman CINEMA: About Us and Credits
All the stuff in the multimedia sections is for you to use. But DO NOT steal anything I have created or manipulated. Also, do not re-print any of my original text without prior permission. I have seen two websites already who have stolen pages and my actual main page, and claimed to be theirs. If you are going to create a Superman movie site, why not be original ? I guarantee that fans want original websites, not copies, and you wouldn't get many hits anyway.

Items that are magically insured or worn on the person are not susceptible to theft. Coin/item pouches, bags, and any other inventory items are possible to steal. Of course, there are difficulty modifiers to stealing the various items on a person. A purse should be easier than the ring that is buried in the bottom of the backpack the character is carrying.

No. The SQL Remote messages are encoded into 7-bit ASCII to make delivery through existing Email systems easier. SQL Remote also uses simple run-length compression, since the messages are encoded and compressed they are unreadable. The -v switch for DBRemote will display the contents of the messages as they are read. This switch introduces significant overhead and should only be used when debugging.

Sure, it’s possible, but not as likely. The most critical documents in the mail are tax returns, bank statements, pre-approved credit card applications, blank bank checks, and anything containing your name, address, social security number, and date of birth. It is extremely difficult (seemingly impossible) to change your social security number since so many federal and state official records are tied to it.
