Blacklisted

Hello SF,
 
I am currently in development of an app that utilizes the send email functionality within SF... and I am surprised after sending an email to several different sources that my email was not being delivered majority of the time.  I put the contents of my email in a spam checker... here http://www.programmersheaven.com/webtools/Spam-Checker/spamchecker.aspx and I was shocked to find that my URL is blacklisted.  http://www.surbl.org/lists.html
 
After research, I realized the reason was the spoofing SF does everytime an email is sent from within SF.
 
So, since my app uses the SF send email functionality, I am concerned that all my clients will need to route their SF emails through their own email server (which is brand new feature in version 7 http://blogs.salesforce.com/features/2007/02/email_relay.html) which requires a special request to SF to include this functionality.  Does anyone know when this will become the standard?  This seems to be an urgent fix since obviously everyone will get blacklisted trying to use the current standard, send email, spoofing approach. 
 
Also, can i request "Enabling Email Relaying" for a developement version of SF?
 
Regards,
BX

Page Layouts Changes Missing in Package

I am puzzled to see that after extensive work on creating custom buttons, custom objects and customizing page layouts to include these buttons and objects, that these page layout changes are not included in my package.

 

I am trying to make my install as simple as possible.  This means, now I need to instruct each installer to go through several steps to include my custom button and my custom object in their layouts.

 

Is this really the norm?  Do most installs require end users to do these kinds of modifications?  Changing a page layout isn't exactly intuitive. 

 

Many thanks,

BX

Packaging Home Page Components etc?

Hi... the App we're developing for SF integration with our third-party software hinges on a Home Page Component which displays in the left sidebar on the Home page, and also on every tab.

We have accomplished this by using a "hidden" inline frame to hold the Custom S-Control in the Home Page Component, and then we use the setting that allows Home Page Components to appear on every tab.

My question is how do we package these settings into an App? Is it possible to 1) Insert the Home Page Component into the customer's Home Page, and 2) Change his/her settings to display said Home Page Component on every tab?

If not - how do other app designers get around not being able to "install" certain components? Do you just release an intallation how-to and hope your customers are all advanced users? :-/

Thanks,
-Nathan

Oh Forever more... Now it won't login.

I'm using ASP classic to connect to salesforce.
 
Here's the code:
set sfApi = Server.CreateObject("SForceOfficeToolkit3.SForceSession3.1")
 result = sfApi.login(username,password)
 response.write result & "<br/>"
 response.write "Error = " &  sfApi.errormessage & "<br/>"
 
Here's the output:
false
Unable to send request to server. The requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context.
 
I'm positive that the username/password is correct.  I found a post that suggested permissions issues with this error so I tried correcting that but with no result.
 
any ideas?
