[thelist] Dear fellows: Be carefull in your job, very carefull

[Joan Olivé M.]

Hi everybody,

I confess i'm writing very sad:

Today a client came to me informing that in their web, build by me two years ago, when counting with not such experience as now, where a small syntaxis mistake.

The mistake had enormeous consequences AND COSTS for the client.

It has been in fact the worse possibilitie for a mistake. In the INDEX page, the client have a MAIL LINK. This is the only one in the web, as everiwhere appear the links to a form.

The mistake where inside the code, what means in the:

<a href="mailto:comecial at client-name.com">comercial at client-name.com</a>

The mistake was only avoiding a letter "r" in the code !!!

In addition, I came to see that, when configuirng his mail in the server, there were not any "default receiving adress"

In resume: The error could't be worse.

Allong two years, new visitors adressed to the client with a complete lose of the e-mail AND THE SALE!

I repeat i'm feeling very sad, the mistake were quite small itself, but the consequences for my client are really enormeous.

Any good word from all you should be acknowledget in front a such situation.

Tanks a lot
