Hi Everyone,

This is a very important reminder for all UK based companies. As mentioned in The Register, UK based companies must now include the following information in their emails and their websites:

• Company registered address
• Company registration number
• Place of registration

You can read more about this new legal requirement in the following address:

Take care everyone!

We are full of energy and ready to start to a new year. We rested enough during the new year break and now ready for a wonderful 2007.

In 2007, oemPro customers will receive several new updates. These updates will cover fixes, improvements and new features to make your email marketing even more powerful and unique.

Addition to oemPro updates, we are going to release new products very soon and I am sure they will also be market leader in a very short time just like oemPro.

Just like previous years, Octeth will continue to grow and serve more customers world wide in 2007. We wish all of you a wonderful 2007.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! We wish a spectacular New Year to you and your family! Thank you for your support and contribution over the last year.

Our office will be closed between 30th January 2006 and 4th January 2007 Thursday to take a break and prepare for a New Year ;)

Today, I will describe a very easy way to create SPF record on your server. This is a very important setting if you are sending mass emails through your server.

First of all, let me describe what SPF means. SPF is an acronym for Sender Policy Framework. Briefly, SPF fights return-path address forgery. With SPF, you identify your mail server in DNS. In this way, SMTP receivers verify the sender address against this information and eliminate messages from forgeries.

For more information about SPF, please check the following pages:
http://old.openspf.org/howworks.html

Setting up SPF on your server is not a difficult task to achieve. You only need to create SPF setting line and insert it into your DNS server. In the follow address, you will find a very useful wizard which will create the SPF setting line for you. It also describes how to insert this auto-generated SPF setting line into your DNS configuration.

Enjoy!

Hi Everyone,

We had a wonderful Holiday, found enough time to rest before starting to a very busy work period. Now, we are at the office again and planning our schedule. We have a series of releases in the following weeks. A new plug-in is on the way. On the other hand, we are also working on a new product. Addition to this, our core team is 100% focused on oemPro v3.6 development. We are fixing reported bugs, improving existing features and making it ready for the “final release”.

Meantime, Aykut is working diligintly on support requests and hopefully we will catch up with all requests by the end of the day.

This is a quick snapshot of the current status in our office.
