I hate spammers

[RobertD]

OK we're back, again. Most of you probably didn't notice, but we went down twice in the last two days because the server kept running out of storage space. Man when my garage gets packed, I just open the door and put a chair outside! Computers are so uptight!

Turns out that when you install Wordpress themes, some of them are shady. And some of them, like the one I used for my wedding site, were sending out a bajillion spam emails! If you needed some "help" in the "male department", we may have inadvertently sent you some info. If only I would've been paid....

Some of you will not be getting email updates for a while, because your email people think that we are spammers! I'm working to get us off the black lists... What a pain.

For reference, the log files for the mail server went from tiny log files (a couple of megs per month) to 2 GIGS IN 2 DAYS. No wonder we filled up the server and then broke the database...

Anyhoo, I think I finally figured it all out and we're good. Carry on!

Muchas Gracias for the continued great work. We certainly appreciate it. Given our demographic, I continue to maintain that on the whole, we do not need "help" in the "male department". Help in the mail department might be welcome!

Ahh the life of a Sys Admin
I was a unix sys admin for a long time so i can sympathy completely. I then went back to my control systems roots and now look after the computers that control the power grid in QLD Australia which is much better, not many users, deep behind firewalls, etc.

One of my work mates says with all the emails about ***** enlargement, lasting longer, and staying harder, that the spammers must be looking in his windows.

Thanks again Robert.

Stop it too tempting. I've been over for work and for fun. Got some contacts at Western Power and at Chevron. Great beaches great climate. Considered moving over pretty hard a couple of years ago
