While modifying the Notes 8 mail template Jerry Carter ran into a problem. Has anyone else gotten a message indicating "No mail service"? His full post is on the Datatribe Softwerks, Ltd. site.

According to a security researcher, several criminal gangs have acquired administrative log-in credentials for more than 200,000 Web sites and used the compromised domains to attack unsuspecting users’ PCs with a notorious hacker exploit kit.

The researcher found over 200,000 unique site credentials on a server, over 80,000 of which had been modified with malicious content to launch attacks against unpatched Windows systems.

On his blog, Andrew Pollack explains how to extract information from a Domino application using SnTT and move it into a spreadsheet.

No, not the yoga pose, Lotus Notes. Lotus iNotes ultralite is now available free to iPhone users with a Lotus Notes software license.

Users ask all the time, "Why, since my name isn’t in any of the TO fields, did this peice of junk get delivered to ME?" Now Anthony Holmes offers the full explanation of how the SMTP transport layer affects mail delivery and how to get those invisible addresses to appear.

While working with documents recently Mick Moignard and an associate discovered some fields were not displaying in the Properties box. Mick wants to know how Lotus decides which, and how many, fields get dropped from display.

Kevin Mitnick, free for 8 years after doing time for breaking into computer networks, was stopped by authorities on his arrival in Atlanta, GA for a computer conference. While he was being searched at the Atlanta airport, Columbian police were going through a package he’d mailed in Bogota apparently looking for drugs.

A new service called Silver Bullet from encrypted thumb-drive vendor IronKey will let administrators wipe out or lock the data on USB sticks in the field. Silver Bullet is a Web-based service that will be offered as a subscription add-on to IronKey’s USB device management software, said David Jevans, IronKey’s CEO.

An IronKey USB stick uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to securely store data, which is used by the U.S. government for sensitive material. Nonetheless, some customers have requested more features in order to destroy data, Jevans said.

From its humble beginnings as a laboratory tool in the early 1970s, email has become a vital tool of business. It’s the first thing most executives check in the morning, and the last thing they do at night. All very well. But can you trust it? A strange question perhaps–but a relevant one following some innovative (and perhaps alarming) new research by professors at three business schools.

Psychologists have long known that people find it easier to mislead and dissemble in written communication, without the telltale visual clues which help others know when someone is lying. But the two new studies, by business professors at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, Rutgers University in New Jersey and Chicago’s DePaul University, suggest that people are notably more likely to lie in an email even than in traditional pen-and-paper communication.

IBM Lotus has released iNotes ultralite, a Web application available as part of IBM’s Lotus Domino Web Access 8.0.2, that lets users access their Notes email from Apple’s iPhone. The messaging and collaboration application heightens the iPhone’s viability as an enterprise-grade device. How soon before IBM creates a Lotus Notes application for T-Mobile’s G1 phone, based on Google’s Android operating system?
