Control panels redux redux
I may have been a bit too quick on the draw yesterday.
It seems that the previous sysadmin had started to move the site I was trying to move but didn't finish it. And the initial move was to the server I was trying to move it to, so of course the control panel software complained.
Yes, I should have looked first, but I didn't.
And I still hate control panels.
Blackhole network
Blue Yonder has either ignored me and doesn't care, or the system that keeps spamming me is so infected with virii that nothing short of cutting the network cable will stop it.
Their spam via my backup MX host
has stopped, as Rob (previous roommate and sysadmin of my backup MX host) has blocked the IP address 82.38.57.25, so
now I'm blocking that address on my primary MX host.
The only thing I have to decide is if I want to “reject” the packets (which sends back notification that a connection isn't wanted) or “deny” (which silently drops the packets with nary a word as to why causing the sending side to keep trying and trying … )
Decisions … decisions …
[I ended up doing a “deny,” in the hopes of tying up the box and keeping it busy doing nothing.]
