Original English article:

The notations for member activity are a quick visual measure of how engaged your subscribers are. You can segment on your member rating to send to your most engaged, or your least engaged if you want to bring them back in, etc

1 Star - negative rating, this person has unsubscribe and resubscribed, or soft bounced in the past

2 Star - no activity, never opened or clicked, most likely a new member, neutral rating

3 Star - this recipient has started opening or clicking your campaigns, limited activity

nginx error: 413 Request Entity Too Large

nuzrin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 12:29:17 +0000

Encountered this error when I tried to upload a large file. nginx default is too small. To upload bigger file, add this line in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, somewhere inside the http section:

http {
    ....
    client_max_body_size 20M;
    ....
}

Save, and then restart your nginx instance.

Which RBL do you use?

nuzrin — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:00:00 +0000

List of reliable RBL that we use internally and recommend to our customers.

zen.spamhaus.org
bl.spamcop.net
combined.njabl.org
