They're hosted on one of URIBL's systems.  If you're really patient you

I unplugged the server so I could play Forza 2 on the 360 at work. I'll plug

I said that five years ago on a list and got personal hate mail in my 
inbox for days. Apparently I didn't appreciate the free expansive space 
of the true Internet for exercising our world citizen freedoms, or 
something like that. I remember they wanted me to do things that even 
yoga can't teach.


Seems I see it mentioned more often now.

Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.

A couple of my locally hosted domains have been hammered the last
couple of days in the region of 500+% increase in what appears to be a
dictionary attack. Since my servers only accept incoming for valid
users it's been annoying rather than crippling. I'd strongly suggest
that anyone fool enough to have catch-all accounts disable them. I had
one domain with that enabled (an oversight) and it logged 14k+ hits in
5 hours.

URIBL was running very slow so I assume I wasn't the only one getting
hit.

On an odd note my local.cf has a timeout of 10 seconds, but I saw many
scans hitting 40+ seconds

Anyway, point being - watch those catch-alls.

Hope that helps somebody

Kind regards

Nigel
