submission not possible

I am trying to submit, but keep getting the following reply:-

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@dmoz.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

This has been the situation for the last 24hrs despite a number of attempts which I hope will not be logged as spam

No, they wont be marked as spam. If you would have enclosed submission details (category-URL and submitted URL) someone could have looked if the submission arrived.

Thanks Windharp
The details are as follows:-

Category: Regional: Africa: South Africa: Travel and Tourism: Travel Guides



Site URL:
www.travel-south-africa.net

Tried to submit a short while ago with same result

Did you know your site is already listed in our directory? It was added to Regional: Africa: South Africa: Travel and Tourism: Accomodation: Directories on april 26th, 2002.

Because of that, about a dozen other submissions of the same site have been deleted from this and other categories. Don't you think your site is in the right place?

Oops !! I thought the site had been removed from the directory as this was requested on a update form on 30 December. The reason for the removal request was from zero successs with update requests. The original update request was for a title change from Travel-South-Africa to Travel South Africa. This brings the title in line with your policy
""" Do not include unnecessary symbols and letters. Listings are, in some cases, sorted """ etc. At the time I was unaware of this forum and in desperation went the remove and re-submit route in order to make a change.
As regards the catagory !! I think the new suggested catagoty is more appropriate but this was not the reason for the original change/removal request

thanks

To quote your sites details:

"Contact the Travel-South-Africa Guide"
"© Travel-South-Africa"

Since we dont care for SEO, we take what we see on the site. Preferably a company title if available.

And we never follow deletion requests (except for sites not matching our guidelines, of course). Who would tell us that the submitter owns the site he wants deleted?

You could know in the case where the e-mail contact used the domain of the site. For example, one of my domains is dextromethorphan.ws. If the contact e-mail is rfgdxm@dextromethorphan.ws, then you'd know it is me.

Or anybody else that would know that this address exists... <img src="/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Spoofing e-mail addresses is extremely simple, you just need to know which settings to use in your mail client. Many ISPs stop people from sending spoofed e-mail, but quite a lot have no protection in place. Even if they do check outgoing mail addresses, anyone could easily sidestep that by running their own mail server. There is no way to tell a spoofed e-mail from a real one.

Good point. I left out the "and I reponded to that e-mail."

Have been away, and the thread has certainly changed in that time! anyhow makes interesting reading and a learning curve for me. I keep getting egg on my face !! but non the less still want my site title to change. Should I clean it up/remove all the hyphens and then submit a change request?

Thanks for all the interaction
