Vista on the horizon – Soup up your spam filters

With the release of vista starting tomorrow, it’s scary to think I have to consider beefing up the ram in my mail server(s) to prepare for it’s release and the onslaught of zero day exploits and comprimised and zombied machines as the result of 6 years of microsofts worst work yet.

Hooray for watching my mail server(s) get hammered tomorrow *sigh*

Well I’ve finally gotten enough storage in my mirror server(s) to light up the Fedora Core mirror which is now available @ http://fedora.mirrors.imagepile.net/ , it is still currently synching up2date however there is already over 150GB of data available!!

Well I just want to say Merry Christmas to everyone (and no it’s not a holiday tree it’s a f*cking christmas tree you PC bastards). And that I hope everyone enjoys a good christmas season with family and friends.

My cats sure are enjoying my new comforter more than I get to:

SPAM!

One of the setbacks of running a very popular website (imagepile.net) is the amount of spam that can be thrown your way (not to mention random DDoS attacks and the like).  There isn’t much you can do about attacks other than do the best you can to mitigate them, on the other hand spam is super easy to block.  If you are the proud owner of a large domain and the lucky recipient of hundreds of spam emails, check out qmailrocks.org , they’ve got a great simple tutorial to setup your very own Qmail server with Anti-Virus and Spam filtering thanks to ClamAV and Spam Assassin.  They provide a great step by step tutorial for all popular *nix distro’s.

Oh and did I mention it’s free? suck on that M$ Exchange
