The past two weeks have been busy, and I expect no less of the next three weeks. August is traditionally a very busy month, and of course why not throw in 2 stressful server upgrades amidst the other projects. *ha* A status report for both servers (I am happy to report) is that both machines are running the latest and greatest with no known issues. If you find something that you feel is out-of-the-ordinary, please let me know and I will investigate right away.
One change you’ll notice is that you will be getting a lot less spam to your inboxes. We are now using the Spamhaus Zen list to block spam, which uses the SBL, XBL and PBL lists.
I myself used to receive over 150 spam messages per night, and this morning I am happy to report I received 9. Yes, nine I can deal with.
This reduction is due to the fact that we are now blocking mail which originates from end-user computer IP ranges. Please read more about Spamhaus’ PBL list and if you have any questions, please let me know.
