Third party spam filters
Mail's adaptive junk filter is being overwhelmed by the flood of email I'm getting at my email address. I can't abandon the address any time soon because I advertise it, and get new customers by email reply.
Is it possible to route my email to a commercial third party server, which will do a better job of identifying spam (with a minimum of false positives and false negatives) and then route it back to my usual mail server, or some similar arrangement?
If so, who do you recommend? Does it work that much better than Mail's adaptive junk filter?
Thanks in advance,

Third party message handlers like MessageLabs do a very good job at filtering mail, catching viruses, etc. , but I'm not sure how many of them offer services to individuals.
You might want to look at installing SpamSeive first. http://c-command.com/spamsieve/.
It gets good reviews and at $30 would be less expensive than paying a monthly fee to a service company.

How do PS CS3 Noise Reduction Filters compare with dedicated third-party plug-ins?
Am I missing something by not installing a dedicated Noise Reduction application into my PS CS3? Can Neat Image, Noise Ninja, Noiseware Pro, etc. do something that the PS CS3 Noise Filters can't do? Do these third-party aplications do it better?
Since I like flashless photography, and I generally carry with me small-sensor compacts when I travel, I'm frequently confronted with the problem of digital noise. I've always wondered how the third-party noise reduction applications perform in comparison with the Photoshop Noise Filters. I hope someone in this Forum has been able to acquire direct experience on this topic and will be kind enough to share this experience with us.
Kindest Regards,
ConradConrad,
ACR 4.3 has better NR (noise reduction) than previous versions and can handle NR in most normal situations. However, available light photography with a small pixel sensor may require more NR and the specialized plugins such as Noise Ninja, NeatImage, and NoiseWare Pro can do a better job. I have all three and they do an excellent job, but I currently use NoiseWare most of the time.
Here is a demonstration of NoiseWare vs ACR NR, using 100% crops of an image taken with the Nikon D200, 1/320 sec at f/2.8. The image is reasonably sharp at normal viewing conditions, but has quite a lot of luminance noise. It was rendered with ACR and the settings were exposure +0.85, brightness +60. One thing you learn early in this type of shooting is to expose to the right to reduce noise, but this may conflict with stopping action and reducing camera shake. More exposure would have helped this image, and one should try to avoid exposures requiring this amount of positive exposure adjustment.
The results are shown below, followed by some discussion. Other comments are welcome. Color noise is not prominent in this image and I left color NR at its default.
ACR, No sharpening, no NR
ACR, Luminance NR 53, no sharpening
ACR, No NR, No sharpening, NoiseWare default, no sharpening
Noise reduction and sharpening are antagonistic processes. It is important that NR is applied before sharpening--you don't want to sharpen noise. Following NR there is an inevitable loss of detail, and some sharpening is necessary to restore the detail, but this also brings back the noise. One can use masks and blend if sliders in Photoshop in both NR and sharpening to mitigate some of these effects, and Bruce Fraser discusses the details in his excellent book on sharpening.
If you use an add on such as NoiseWare, you should turn off luminance sharpening in ACR. In doing so, you lose all those nifty sharpening features that have recently been added to ACR. I leave color NR at the default. It has a minimal effect on detail.
In adjusting the NR in ACR at 100% viewing, I estimated that a luminance setting of +53 was optimal. Beyond that, blotchy artifacts appear in the image.
For NoiseWarePro, I used the default settings with no sharpening. The NR effect is dramatic, but detail is lost and some sharpening is needed. This could be applied in NoiseWare or in Photoshop, perhaps with a plugin such as PhotoKit Sharpener. Personally, I have found that PK does not work well with this type of image because it bring back noise and produces artifacts.
In all of these examples, sharpening is needed following the NR. One could try to use surface masks to keep sharpening in Photoshop with the unsharp mask away from the edges. However, I find it is difficult to get a good surface mask, and I don't take the trouble.
For now, I use the sharpening built into NoiseWare. I don't know how it works internally, but it does have a slider for detail protection, and you can play with this to get the best result. It would be best to have the robust NR of the add ons built into ACR much like NoiseNinja is built into Bibble Pro. However, this is an ACR forum and I would expect that ACR is the preferred raw converter of those who frequent this forum.
After expending this much effort on the post, I hope to get some helpful feedback. -
Third-party filters unavailable in CS4 (Mountain Lion)
I've noticed that a number of my third-party filters (Alien Skin Exposure, SilverEfex Pro and Topaz Simplify) are not available in CS4 since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I can still run them in Lightroom.
I have reinstalled Exposure and did so with Mountain Lion's gatekeeper disabled. This made no difference so I thun completed uninstalled this plugin and reinstalled again from scratch and it made no difference.
The plugins that aren't available all appear to be installed in the Applications folder.
Basically each of the plugins is greyed-out in the menu bar and if I try to run them from a palette (SilverEfex) I get an error message “The command SilverEfex Pro 2 is not available”
Any help on this would be most welcome.Adobe Photoshop Version: 11.0.2 (11.0.2x20100519 [20100519.r.592 2010/05/19:02:00:00 cutoff; r branch])

Third party filters such as Topaz Labs not showing up after upgrade to CC 2014
Has anyone noticed if their third party filters have been missing since upgrading to Photoshop CC 2014. I have lost all mine :-(
Your 3rd party plug-ins are not automatically migrated to the new version.
Check to see if the makers offer updated installers, and install them into Photoshop CC (2014).

Where do I find third party files in Photoshop 6CC. I currently use Photoshop 6CS extended and my third party files like NIK are found in the filter pulldown menu.
What are Photoshop "6CC" and "6CS"? Those are not designators of any known versions of Photoshop.
There's Photoshop CS6 (under the covers, version 13.x), and Photoshop CC (version 14.x).
Their user interfaces are the same. You'll find plug-ins in the same places in both, once the plug-ins are installed.
You *did* install your plug-ins in Photoshop CC, right? They don't just magically appear in the new version of Photoshop.

Compressor 3.5 Upgrade - will third-party filters still work?
I am about to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 3 from 2 and have several pre-existing third-party plug-ins. Will these be retained and fully-function post-upgrade? I am specifically concerned about my Cinema Craft Encoder MP for compressor... after upgrading to Compressor 3.5 will it still work?
Many thanks,

Serious Issue with "third party subscriptions" through text messages.
Forgive me for perhaps sounding dramatic. After having this experience I nearly paid the fee to break my contract and quit on cell phones all together. If apple gets the iPhone to a point where no cellular carrier is neccessary I will be the first to join the party. I'm going to start trying this skype thing this weekend. Anyway, I digress, here's what happened. I get my bill from AT&T and there is a charge for download activity for $3.99. Not the end of the world but I call the number to find out what the charge is all about because I thought I had an unlimited data plan. Turns out AT&T calls it a third party subscription fee. I argued that if AT&T is charging it on my bill as far as I'm concerned I'm not concerned about the details, I hold AT&T responsable for what they put on my bill. According to AT&T's rep I recieved a text message asking me if I wished to subscribe to their service. I don't do the text thing so I never read any message like this. HERE'S THE KICKER - BECAUSE I DID NOT RESPOND TO THE TEXT TO SAY NO THANKS I WAS AUTOMATICLY ENTERED INTO AN ILLEGAL CONTRACT TO PAY $3.99 MONTHLY FOR A SERVICE I'M NOT EVEN AWARE OF. I was absolutly irate. The ramifications are astronomical. This means I could get a limitless unexpected bill. I look at it this way: If I had to write a letter, address an envelope, and lick a stamp every time I got an advertisement in my snailmailbox, I would never get out of the house and I would have to get on welfare to afford the stamps. To me there is an obvious legal precidence here. I realize that this has more to do with AT&T than Apple. I simply want to emplore Apple to save us from a world of disintigrating business ethic. Cellular providers have gotten completely out of control. When I feel like I need a lawyer just to call AT&T to discuss the inconsistency of my bill there is a serious problem. I feel like entering into a contract with a cellular provider endangers my financial stability in a fragile era. It just seems rediculous for a business to become so arogant that they can speak nonsense to a customer and we are put in a position to defend against such nonsense. Several of my friends have run into the same issue with text third party subscriptions. Last night at a dinner party three indicated that they finally had all the cellular provider crap they could take and they canceled their iPhone service and put it up on ebay. I love my iPhone, it is the most useful piece of technology I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. That being said, I cannot justify, as a household provider with a family depending on me, taking the risk of financial ruin (a $3000+ cell phone bill could do just that) initiated by arogant buisiness practaces that resemble the oppression I have witnessed through 12 years of military service in places with an excess of sand. I think it is apauling. I believe the FCC and FTC need to be brought into this. I intend to submit formal complaints to both and would encourage others that feel like I do to do the same.
Not to diss those trying to be helpful, but the do not call list has nothing to do with spam TXT messages sent from a computer, which is where the OP's problem probably began.
If a third party sent this message and then signed the OP up for a service he did not want, this violates any number of consumer laws and can be addressed that way. It's unclear whether this is really an AT&T issue at all, absent any evidence that it is their message or their service. It sounds to me like the CS reps do not understand the problem and are giving the not-helpful generic answer about spam TXTs. A much better solution is to set the SMS filters using AT&T's web site.
Similar scams work on landlines, where you can accidentally end up getting a huge charge on your phone bill for something that has nothing to do with the carrier.
I'd call the state consumer protection department.

Can not receive emails from third party email accounts
Recently I started working for a small business which has small business server 2011 and exchange 2010 installed. Before I started there were eight user accounts and they all have unlimited email access. I created a few users through sbs AD and also from
exchange console a week ago. Unfortunately none of them can not receive emails from third party accounts. they all can receive internal emails and also can send mails to any email accounts internally and externally.
This is a night mare for me as new users are having trouble with communicating via mails. I have tried all the methods and now thought of posting this issue on tech net. Please help me on this!!
Thanks a lot!!
SammyChecklist for testing inbound email problems, I am assuming outbound emails works ok.
1. Check Port 25 forwarding on all modems routers/firewalls
2. MX Record is created and pointing to the correct Public IP Address, use MXToolbox.com to verify MX Record and test SMTP flow. Also Verify your public IP has not changed, use whatsmyip.org to check you public IP
3. If using POP Connector Service, make sure POP accounts are created properly
4. If using a 3rd party spam host, make sure they forward email to correct public IP address, use step 2 to verify your public IP. -
RED Workflow questions with Mac Pro (including third party plugins)
Hello all,
I’ve been searching many forums for the better part of a day trying to get some workflow questions sorted. I’m experiencing (very) slow export times, and mediocre playback for a machine that should be screaming fast.
Here is what I’m working with:
2014 Mac Pro
-2.7 GHz 12-core intel xeon E5
-64GB Ram
-Dual AMD FirePro D700 6GB
-1TB Flash Storage
Editing all footage off 96TB Raid 6 mini-sas server (getting about 1100mbs read/write rate according to AJA system test) which is faster than any Thunderbolt/TB2 drive array I have.
Media I work with is footage from the RED Epic (normally 5K) as well as DSLR footage from the 5d.
Software:
-PrPro CC 2014 (8.1)
-Magic Bullet Looks 2.5.2
My question(s) pertains to RED post-pro workflow in combination with third party plug-ins and the different approaches to make it more efficient.
Right now, majority of the clients need a 1080p HD master, and they are generally anywhere from 2-8 minutes (usually). So my sequence settings are as follows:
Video:
Editing Mode: RED Cinema
Size: 1920 x 1080
Audio: 48Hz
Video Previews
Preview File Format: I-Frame Only MPEG
Codec: MPEG I-Frame
1920x1080
Maximum Bit Depth unchecked
Maximum Render Quality unchecked
Composite in Linear Color checked
Export Settings
H.264
1920x1080
VBR 1 pass
Target Bitrate 12mbs
Max bitrate 12mbs
Maximum render quality/depth/previews unchecked
Issues I have:
-Playback is fine at 1/2 or even full, but once effects (especially magic bullet looks) start to go on the clips, it’s very choppy and has difficult playback at 1/4
-Export times (especially with magic bullet looks) will take the better part of 1-4 hours for a video that is 3-6 minutes long. This doesn’t seem like it should be the case for a maxed out MacPro
So my questions are:
Do these seem like the right sequence/export settings for mastering at 1080p? If not, what would you suggest?
Would using offline editing help at all?
Do you place your effects on adjustment layers?
Is there anyway to improve export settings when using an array of filters?
Have you stopped using third party plugins for their inefficiency in unreliability and switched to more integrated applications like SpeedGrade?
Is there any other tweaks that you would suggest for RED workflow with PrPro?
Should I consider switching to FCPX or (besides the iMovie-likeness) does it carry problems of its own?Hi This Is Ironclad,

The biggest issue is that most people have is that updating OS X causes certain folders to be set to Read Only. See this blog post: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later).

It's a nice base system. How about an additional speedy disk for media cache files. You also did not mention which version of OS X you are running.

The Red Giant website does not indicate that this software is yet updated to work with Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1). Proceed with caution here.

I would not use this plug-in until you get the OK from the manufacturer.

Again, I suspect your plug-in.
Keep in mind that exports are largely CPU based but you can make sure that GPU acceleration is enabled for AME at the bottom of the Queue panel.

It's OK.

No need when you should be able to edit natively. Relinking might also be an issue.
thisisironclad wrote:

That's one way you can do it with the benefit of being more organized.
thisisironclad wrote:

I do. Of course, that's a preference.
thisisironclad wrote:

Try the following:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write(Hopefully you checked this out already)
Delete media cache
Remove plug-ins
If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
Repair permissions
Disconnect any third party hardware
If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCLYou have AMD GPUs.
Disable App Nap
Reboot

I really shouldn't answer that question.
Hope this helps.

My internet service provider (https://my.gci.net/) blocks my entry to eMailGuard (a GCI spam and virus isolator) when I have third-party cookies disabled
When I allow third-party cookies I am able to access eMailGuard. I have used GCI eMailGuard and Firefox together for years and have had no such difficulty in the past.
This problem commenced 2-3 weeks ago.
I have followed all directions at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-cookies-are-blocked-unblock-them to clear all cookies and cache, with no change. Also, my default setting (see below) is to “Clear history when Firefox closes.” If I understand correctly, clearing history will also clear cookies and cache, so I do it every time I close Firefox.
Has Firefox changed third-party cookies parameters recently? GCI of course claims this is a browser issue. Should I be concerned about third-party cookies if I delete them after every Firefox session? Any comments or thoughts are greatly appreciated.
My current version is Firefox v.14.0.1
My Privacy settings are:
• Tools\Options\Privacy
• Use custom settings for history
My selected (checked) custom settings are as follows:
• Remember my browsing history
• Remember download history
• Remember search and form history
• Accept cookies from sites (third-party cookies not selected)
• Keep until: I close Firefox
• Clear history when Firefox closes
Thanks,

ISP my.GCI.net''Keep until: I close Firefox''
That's what I use for all cookies. If you start a new session every time you start Firefox, i.e., you don't resume the same session over and over, websites cannot track you 'across sessions' using cookies; you are a new person to them during each session (unless/until you log in).
Note that "Flash cookies" need to be managed separately.
As for this particular site, if you want to spend some time research it, you could install an add-on such as Firebug or the external Fiddler2 proxy. Both will show you each request made by the browser when you load a page. Then you can see which third party sites are involved and if you like make a specific entry to allow them in the Exceptions dialog.

Can I add a third party filter (ASFROC) to the filter sub-folder of Photoshop Elements 13?
I have been using a third party filter (Applied Science fiction R-O-C (now Kodak)) with Photoshop elements 9. After upgrading to Elements 13 I would like to continue using the ASFROC plug-in filter. Can I just add it to the Filter sub-folder in Elements 13?
I believe the problem is those filters are 32 bit filters and you most likely have the 64 bit version of photoshop elements 13.
The 64 bit version of pse 13 requires 64 bit filters, so you wouldn't be able to use the Kodak filters in pse 13
Which operating system are you using?
If windows, is your windows system 32 or 64 bit?
(the mac version of pse 13 is always 64 bit) -
Connecting to third-party router, but unable to browse or e-mail
I am using an Airport Extreme card in my PowerBook G4 running firmware version 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18). Our office Wi-Fi access is through a third-party router. We used to use MAC address filtering, and I had no problem accessing the network.
Recently, for reasons unclear to me, our IT director ditched the MAC address filtering in favor of the WPA-personal standard. I was able to enter the encryption key and get connected to the network, but I wasn't able to get my browser to access the internet, nor send or receive e-mail traffic.
Our IT folks temporarily disabled all security and restarted the wireless router, but I was still only able to connect to the router, and not use my browser or e-mail, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the use of WPA per se. I tried temporarily turning off my own firewall, too, but the problem remained.
Oddly, I can open up the Terminal and Ping successfully to an outside address -- only http and e-mail traffic seems to be blocked. The Windows-based PCs seem to be able to connect to the wireless network and use their browsers to access the internet without any problem. Any thoughts as to what else I might try, or have the IT administrators try, to resolve the problem?
Thanks,
SidHello kilgores. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Something to ask your IT staff is if they use a proxy server for Internet access. If so, do they require proxy configuration scripts (.pac) to provide access to the Internet through your company's firewall. This information would normally be added to your browser's settings.

How to use message queue for inegrating third party with EBS
Hi Experts,
We would like to integrate a third party system with EBS using message queues.
Where we will subscribe to a businnes event and which will populate the messages to messages queue.
But how can we deque this message in third party systems. We are in R12.1.3 and no FMW installed.
Any adapater or something is availabe, If so please throw some inputs.
Thanks
BhaartPlease go to the link
http://developer.novell.com/extend/composer/1006.html
and also see the "message filtering" section.
Where you can find
Exposing message selection hints in the header portion of a message is a common tactic when multiple receiving apps are pointed at the same queue. The application that is best suited to handling a given message type can harvest just the messages it needs, while other applications can act on messages better suited for them. Administratively, it is more efficient to set up one queue (with multiple receivers accessing it) than to set up multiple queues, each with a dedicated receiver. My question is how can I achieve this Via progamatically ? -
I've recently downloaded a couple third party plug-ins and I can't seem to get them to show up when I open Final Cut.

HD/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plug ins
But when I open Final Cut they're not showing up in my Video filters folder.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.If the plugins happen to be generators they will appear in the Generators window - not the Video Effects !

Jasig CAS + Beehive (third party SSO)
Hello,
We are currently evaluating Beehive and one of the requirements we have is to integrate it with a third party SSO provider (Jasig CAS). I have followed the steps defined in the Oracle Beehive Pluggable Authentication http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/beehive/plugauth-096705.html#compiling_and_packaging_plug-in and managed to get the sample sso identity plugin "working" (its working enough to redirect me to a login page).
Now the question that I have (i hope you can provide some guidance) is that in order for me to integrate it with the "CAS Client", i need to add some filters to web.xml but everytime I do that, and I restart beehive, the BEECLIENT doesnt start.
I don't know if its because I am missing a .jar (I copied the CAS .jar's to $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/lib/ext) or if there is something I can enable (DEBUG MODE) on beehive which can help me troubleshoot the issue. Is adding additional filters in web.xml possible?
This is more or less what I wanted to add (note , i tried this in the following file: $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/BEECLIENT/applications/teamcollaboration/teamcollaboration/WEB-INF/web.xml)

Thanks in advance!Richard,
Thanks for the reply. Let me expand of what I am trying to accomplish:
1. User goes to https://beehive.server.com/teamcollab
2. The Beehive PAM plugin kicks in and the user gets redirected to https://cas.server.com/cas/login/?service=https://beehive.server.com/teamcollab
3. Once the cas.server.com authenticates the user, it redirects the browser back to https://beehive.server.com/teamcollab/?*ticket=RANDOM_NUMBERS*
At the very least, I need to be able to readthe "ticket" parameter and validate the RANDOM_NUMBERS against cas.server.com so that I can get the username (no cookie involved here) back from the CAS server.
This is the code I was trying:
public String getIdentity(HttpServletRequest req, Map<String, String> props) throws IdentityException {
String ticket = req.getParameter("ticket");
AttributePrincipal principal = null;
String casServerUrl = "https://cas.server.com/cas";
if(ticket == null || "".equals(ticket))
throw new IdentityException("Service Ticket is Null or empty", null);
Cas20ProxyTicketValidator sv = new Cas20ProxyTicketValidator(casServerUrl);
sv.setAcceptAnyProxy(true);
try {
String legacyServerServiceUrl = "https://beehive.server.com/teamcollab";
Assertion a = sv.validate(ticket, legacyServerServiceUrl);
principal = a.getPrincipal();
} catch (TicketValidationException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); // bad style, but only for demonstration purpose.
String authuser = principal.getName();
if(authuser == null)
throw new IdentityException("User is null", null);
return authuser;
But when I tried that, my browser (frefox) detected an invalid redirect and nothing worked. I don't know how to troubleshoot this piece of code (do you know how to increase debug level and or dump vairiables to a log file, and if so which log file its going?)
Since I got the "invalid redirect" from firefox, i tried adding the cas filters (to web.xml) which in essence should allow me to just do something like String username = request.getRemoteUser(); and that is when beehive crashed.
So based on your response, I should stay away from changing web.xml (good because I didn't want to modify it to begin with) but do you have any recommendation as to how to debug the code ? I would like to echo something like "Service Ticket Received is: blah blah blah" to $ORACLE_HOME/beehive/logs/oc4j/BEECLIENT/log.txt or a similar log
Thanks for your help.
