I also installed Spambot well poisoner… Spam^Bot^Poison. You can get the source here or see it in action here. The idea is that Spambots will fetch the bad addresses on this page and it’ll slow their spamming down a little. Hey, every bit counts. These kinds of things make me feel all warm and fuzzy. […]

Realizing that Abigail was out of school and camp, Lee’s new job hadn’t started yet, Megan had recovered from her work-year, and Kilauea has been erupting lately, we went on an impromptu trip to Hawaii! We ended up staying 8 days, seeing sights, swimming, having some resort-life, and… seeing a volcano erupt! Here’s a few journal […]

Is USDirectory.com legit? No. No it is not. I first blogged about them 18 years ago. Wow, 18 years?! And just today I got another review reaffirming their scammy spamminess. Stay away from USDirectory.com.  

I invited 12 friends to that Tiger Trials thing, after stressing and failing to invite 2 families (which is how many spaces there are), and then failing to get any takers at all after posting on Facebook, a local Facebook school group, Mastadon, and my blog.

Every 10 years or so I check the MissingMoney.com website to see if I have any lost money. If a company owes you money but can’t find you for whatever reason, it ends up there. Yes, it’s legit. :-) This time I found several small piles of money and a few large ($500-$1000) ones related […]

I couldn’t fix my outgoing email spam problems without paying “big email”. Neither could this much-more capable guy. It’s a racket! More discussion on JWZ’s blog and here.   Spam

If you get a notice from Facebook saying that your password changed, look into it! If Facebook doesn’t hear from you for a month, they’ll assume the change was legit. If it was a bad person, they’ll then have free reign to do any nefarious thing they want in your account, including spamming your friends […]

After having a come-to-Jesus discussion with Dreamhost tech support (I said, “Pretty please help me fix this or I’m leaving.” They said, “It is unfixable Google Workspace might magically fix it”) I moved my gmail account to a paid Google Workspace account. The hope is that for $6/month, they’ll fix my intractable spam problem (whenever […]

For a long while I’ve been forwarding my @Lee.org email to my Gmail account. One problem I’ve had is that some valid email falls into my Gmail spam folder. This is probably because those forwarded (actually, pulled via POP3) emails always softfail SPF in Gmail. It stands to reason since gmail isn’t lee.org. But ugh! […]
