except that on one day, the number of relay attempts was hig – mainly from one address: smtp1949@sina.com. Checking this address revealed three possible servers:
 = freemx1.sinamail.sina.com.cn (202.108.3.242 (202.108.0.0/18, /17)
 = freemx2.sinamail.sina.com.cn (218.30.115.106 (218.30.96.0/19))
 = freemx3.sinamail.sina.com.cn (60.28.2.248 (60.28.0.0/15))

To be excluded access in the router.

WordPress upgrade
To test (and possibly execute) an upgrade of the blogs, I created a Linix machine, and here I will test the upgrade. It that succeeeds, it may be a matter of restoring that database on the main server (after, of course, activation of PHP 5.3 and getting WP to work – a separate activity) so I’ll be up and running the latest – and in that matter, it willl be easier to keep the whole lot up-to-date.
