Mailstats

on March 12th, 2006

So… mail stats.

I’ve been using dnsbl.sorbs.net, sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org and some less known rbls. These 2 host made it to config v.2, as they stopped 99.9% of spam. Other rbls have caught at most 20 messages since july 2005. It just doesn’t make sense to keep them and wait for their queries. Anything that can be stopped, will be stopped by sorbs and spamhaus. Another thing is that they nicely add to each other. Sorbs and spamhaus stop about 75% of spam each. Together they stop almost 100%, so it’s good to keep them both.

Now some graphs. Everyone loves them :)

Hello world!

on March 1st, 2006

This dev-log is brought to you by letters ‘W’ and ‘P’… as in WordPress accidentally.

It should be written in CakePHP as first planned, but I didn’t have enough motivation to finish embedding FCKeditor / whatever properly, or add all those shiny features that are already present here. Maybe another time… Nevertheless Cake is a great MVC php framework and I really recommend it.

There should be a nice dev-article for a start, but I’ve found some old sendmail logs (Sep-05..now) in /tmp (broken log-rotate script) and decided to have some fun with them (mainly spam rejected by rbls stats). Results to be seen soon.
