More unsolicited commercial e-mail woe

I got around to working on the server and stuff Monday morning, before heading out. I found something like 2500 bounced e-mail messages as a some unscrupulous bulk e-mailer was using an unattended mail gateway here to bounce messages out to AOL.

I had 2,500 + messages. I had to close up some holes, too. No more letting “anything” at astrofish.net cycle through. If it’s not a specific in box here, it doesn’t get any attention. Simple as that. Seems to have reduced the bulk, unsolicited mail by third to a half. I’m having to rethink some design issues, too, plus consider another host, although, this one has been pretty good. Plus, it has all the bells and whistles that I like. Almost all of them.

Monday was a long day, lots of stuff happening all at once. Plus there’s this sentiment I keep reading, and I wrote a long entry about how I feel about 9-11, but I decided not to post it. I’m tired, more ways than {{popup flowchart.jpg flowchart 450×520}}one.
