RIAA servers still broken

Pigopolist turns deaf ear to feedback

Published Wednesday 4th September 2002 12:11 GMT

Chaos continues at the RIAA's website after weeks of defacement activity.

If you care to fill out the form on the feee0000dback page, you'll get the following message:-


Error Occurred While Processing Request

Error Diagnostic Information

No SMTP Server Specified for CFMAIL

In order to send SMTP mail messages, ColdFusion requires that a default SMTP server be specified. You can set the default SMTP server using the 'Mail' page of the ColdFusion Administrator. Alternatively, you can make sure that all CFMAIL tags have a SERVER= attribute provided. In this particular case, no SERVER= attribute was provided and no default SMTP server setting has been specified.

The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFMAIL), occupying document position (4:1) to (4:95).

The specific sequence of files included or processed is:
F:\RecordingIndustry\wwwroot\Contact_Confirm.cfm

[my IP address and browser client recorded here]

HTTP Referer: http://www.riaa.org/Contact.cfm
Template: F:\RecordingIndustry\wwwroot\Contact_Confirm.cfm

Clearly there's nobody home. They've detached the SMTP server from the Cold Fusion app server. So they can't hear or respond to your valued feedback.

Accidentally, or on purpose? ®
