Definition of meme #asp can look like a totally screwed up place to anyone that has not been around more than a few weeks. It looks even worse if you have been around for a while, but that is what makes it fun. One of the things that really throw newbies off-balance is our rich [...]

Here is a sampler of the rejected mail hosts for my server over the last 24 hours: Checking for rejected mail hosts: 4 g00dfellas.com 4 aol.com 3 aol.comXXXXXXXXXX (this is a potential spam trojan, I am working with this AOL’r to see if I can help her) 2 pedrovera.com (these are fake, I don’t have [...]

It’s been a few days since I started my crackdown on spam traffic thru my site, and the influx is down from about 100+ spam/hour to less than 10. The basic problem I had was that I had my DNS set to wildcard both domains to which I was processing mail. This is a bad [...]

Once again, Ivette managed to lose her keys, this time the only car key that can start the car. The ignition switch is kind of worn out, so only one of the keys, the last factory key we have, still works. Well, worked, since now it is gone. Today I had to take a different [...]
