Group Warns Of More Junk E-mail – International Business Times –
Group Warns Of More Junk E-mail – International Business Times – This is simply insane. I use the Spamhaus RBLs as a filter before Spamassassin touches the mail so that Spamassassin won’t have to work as hard. Hopefully, Spamhaus will be able to keep Spamhaus.org. At least I have Spamassassin working well these days.
Andrew Sullivan | The Daily Dish: Fareed Throws In The Towel
Andrew Sullivan | The Daily Dish: Fareed Throws In The Towel Wow, I’m with Andrew in saying that Fareed know his stuff about the Middle East. I wonder how Friedman feels about Iraq right now, and what can be done.
Lasik dry eye syndrome
I’ve had dry eye over the past two days – especially after waking up from a long night or overnight. I would characterize the feeling as how your eyes feel after you wake up in the morning after forgetting to take out your contacts the night before or the dryness after a bad hangover. Right … Continue reading
Removed Darwinports from OS X mailserver
I removed Darwinports from my OS X mailserver because it was affecting my perl builds since my perl builds were going to /opt/local instead of their normal location. This was really messing up all the perl program dependencies for Spamassassin. All I had to do to remove Darwinports was to remove the /opt/ directory and … Continue reading

A rank-and-file member of an organization does wrong by a minor. The hierarchy, in turn, does nothing. Now, rather than a priest, it’s a … Continue reading
Bayes and fuzzyocr.hashdb working!
For well over a year now, I’ve been wondering why Bayes worked in my manual scans when I ran a piece of mail that made it through mailserver’s filters. It appears that spamd and the manual scan weren’t producing the exact same results. In order to get spamd working as well as a manual scan, … Continue reading
Spamassassin 3.1.5 again, fuzzyocr, and mysql for Bayes
I rolled back Spamassassin from 3.2 to 3.1.5 since 3.2 wasn’t catching some spam, and not showing some results under debug mode. I managed to get the fuzzyocr plug-in 2.3b working again under 3.1.5. I just had to change some settings for it to work again. The ocr doesn’t kick in unless other scores are … Continue reading
Trying out Spamassassin 3.20
I’m trying out the development version of Spamassassin 3.20. I’ll see how it does this week as it is a development version and not a stable version, but I know how to roll things back if it’s unstable. For the moment, it appears to be running quickly and correctly.

Some Good News Arrives at Last for a Bad News Bear – New York Times “I remember even from his teenage days he looked like somebody who had lived,” Mr. Zaillian said. “I didn’t really know what to expect, in terms of what kind of person he would be. I had really no idea even … Continue reading
