Sify - Deja Vu ... port 143/993 - IMAP :/

by Pradeepto Bhattacharya

Hi List, Apparently, somebody at Sify is having a lot of fun at customer's expense. So today sometime in the afternoon some nice admin or someone with admin rights decided - "OK, lets see what happens if I block 143 and 993. Should be fun, I am sure." Or probably the dude pressed the wrong next and "Are you sure? OK" button. Afaics, I can't telnet to port 143/993 on IMAP servers that I use. I am sure the servers are working because I know others are using it just fine and I even saw their telnet output. I have lodged a complaint with sify helpline - it took few hours to get through the executive. First hit - some dude in Vile Parle kept me on hold for few minutes. I cut the phone and called them again, this time the call was directed to Chennai ( even thought I selected "Technical query" ). The dude listened to me and suddenly popped the most important question ever - "Do see the network card?" . I pretty much went "Huh?". I explained to him that everything else is working - like surfing, chatting, emailing - yes those words they understand easily. I was promised that the techie dude will call me in an hour. I am waiting. In the meanwhile I called again and this time a girl spoke to me who ended the discussion with "Yes yes, I can see your complaint. We will call you as soon as it is solved. I would really appreciate, some users in Mumbai, if they could some how check if IMAP is working from their Sify accounts. I know that many people don't use IMAP so chances might just be low. Thanks in advance. Cheers! Pradeepto -- The KDE Project : http://www.kde.org KDE India : http://in.kde.org Mailing List : http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-india

Search for PERL web developers

by Kashyap Dalal

Hi All, I am heading a startup currently and am looking for a bit of help on the web-development front. We are looking for someone who can handle website development in PERL. I can't seem to find anyone for this through the normal route of contacting web development companies. A friend suggested that I try getting in touch with people at LUG Mumbai and hence this mail. Any help will be appreciated and apologies for this being spam to some of you. Cheers, Kashyap

If we can have another venue, that can accommodate more people, we can change the venue. If not, let's keep it the same. So, do we have something else available for 21st July?
