Is BassChat's Server in the USA?

[b]Is BassChat's Server in the USA?[/b]

I only ask because due to an incredible amount of SPAM from North America I put a block on anything being sent from any USA-based domain in order to deal with it.

However... now I'm not getting BassChat email notifications, hence my question.

I thank you!

Spam. Argentina ?

There's more than one server, but the one that sends mail is in the US.

Not sure what you're using to block the mail, but adding an exception to the US block shouldn't be too hard.

Just using Windows Mail Spam Filter. I'll have a look and see what I can do. Thanks for the info.

As an aside, Gmail are determined to classify my BC email as spam.

I had to set up really specific rules to make sure they landed in my inbox.

Still have the US block but have listed BC's domain as an exception, so we'll see...

Edit: That seems to work. Thanks, all.

This would explain why the server clock hasn't changed yet then.

Well I posted a test message in one of the Mod forums at 14:34 (according my PC clock) and it's showing 14:34 on the forum.

All the topics I can see on my iPhone are showing an hour in advance.

My iPhone says 20:38, this post says 09:38pm. Which is odd in itself

Your PC wasn't set to DST?

[TimR]

I haven't done anything. I'm on iPhone.

Ah.

There are plenty of documented issues with IOS 7 and earlier with DST and there are a few reports appearing regarding IOS 8.

Certainly nothing to do with the BassChat infrastructure.

Ah... I remember when basschat (or Bassworld as it was then) was closed down by the FBI.

True story. Lol.

The servers were in the States, and naughty people had been using them, so the Feds shut them down.

Just to clarify that just a little bit, the server hosting company (Pacific Hosting) were closed down for hosting illegal content alongside legitimate sites such as Bassworld.

It's taken me quite a time to get used to living in South America.
