Monthly maintanance
It seems the amount of spam has lowered – about 20% of the messages have been delivered, and just a few were false negatives and should be blocked. I’ve got information from Process how to achieve blockage of messages where sender = receipient. Add the ability to check the sending system’s address against my mailserver’s – but combining the two is still on the wish list…

Of course logfiles have been archived, I’ve seem nothing particular, but I’l \l check the webserver logs next week and save the logs after that – Next Monday the logs will be cycled; rather short after the weekend.
Change login password
Last Friday my usual password on the VMS system expired, and that prevented access to webmail (that is, obviously, linked to the username). And I don’t have a facility yet to chnage my password over the Internet. It’ll be a problem anyway to chnage the password once it expires, since my current cobfurfatin requires the password to be valid – and an expired password won’t allow you to access the secured web…
Update WordPress to 2.8.2
This has been requested for some time now, and I tried it with the Bootcamp 2007-blog. But for some reason, the code seems to enter a loop somewhere and won’t load properly. It’s unlikely it’s a theme issue, since that one is really basic. The logical used (bc2007) is properly defined so that is not the problem either. Debugging PHP code is a tedious jobm, so I revert to 2.6.3. At least: for access; upgrade did succeed at some point, but display of the main page hangs when referring to 2.8.2…
Leasving this as they are: 2.6.3, untill the last update of PHP has been installed….
