Use Google as external email service

Undoubtedly, Gmail has become a very important part of each and everyday's life. Through Google Apps, they have given freedom to use Gmail for business purpose as well. Google Apps is having feature to feel like you are sending emails through your own servers, instead of Google server. You can use email id's like abc@domainname.com, xyz@domainname.com etc.. and on backend emails are sent through Gmail. Let's see how we can handle this whole thing :

1. To set up an external email, first of all, you should have domain name and it's control panel.

2. Go to link : http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/ and setup your Google Apps account.

3. Login to your control panel and navigate to Mail Manager. Point DNS Server’s MX records to Google Apps. Add following MX entries :

ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM with priority 1
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM with priority 5
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM with priority 5
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM with priority 10
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM with priority 10

 Save them

and will look like this : 



Note : TTL should not more than 3600 seconds for Google records. 

and we are done with set up!!!!

Please let me know if you guys are facing any problem with it.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy Programming :)

How to draw Dynamic Line or Timeseries Chart in Java using jfreechart library?

Today we are going to write a code to draw a dynamic timeseries-cum-line chart in java.   The only difference between simple and dynamic chart is that a dynamic event is used to create a new series and update the graph. In out example we are using timer which automatically calls a funtion after every 1/4 th second and graph is updated with random data. Let's try with the code : Note : I had tried my best to provide complete documentation along with code. If at any time anyone have any doubt or question please post in comments section.

Flickr and OAuth

What is Flickr? I think you landed on this page because you know what Flickr is, so let’s come to the point and discuss about the API. Why am explaining? Although each and everything, about API, is well documented on Flickr website here , I'm just trying to explain the whole process by dividing it into small parts. Old Authentication API The current Flickr authorization scheme is not the first one it used. In the early days of Flickr, users granted the power to an app to act on their behalf by giving  the apps their Flickr username and password. Doing so meant that in order to revoke  an app’s permission, users would have to change their Flickr password. Of course, doing that would also instantly revoke permissions of other third-­party apps with knowledge of the user’s password. The new authorization scheme is meant to correct obvious problems with the old scheme. Why should you as a user have to use your Flickr password for anything other than your dealings with Flickr?
