Monthly maintenance
Disallowance of acccess – no matter what – for some (Chinese) networks pays off. Not the number of messages to be considered spam:
PMAS statistics for November
Total messages : 9398 = 100.0 o/o
DNS Blacklisted : 1748 = 18.5 o/o (Files: 30)
Relay attempts : 10 = .1 o/o (Files: 26)
Accepted by PMAS : 7640 = 81.2 o/o (Files: 30)
Handled by explicit rule
Rejected : 7045 = 92.2 o/o (processed), 74.9 o/o (all)
Accepted : 282 = 3.6 o/o (processed), 3.0 o/o (all)
Handled by content
Discarded : 105 = 1.3 o/o (processed), 1.1 o/o (all)
Quarantained : 174 = 2.2 o/o (processed), 1.8 o/o (all)
Delivered : 34 = .4 o/o (processed), .3 o/o (all)
that number remains high, as always (especially when filtering on content), but primarily on the number of re;ay attempts. Just four of thirty contain any data: no more than 4 blocks have been assigned, which means it’s no more than a few lines. And since the size show the numbers are small, these have been deleted (after being archived, so it is still possible to have a look).
That has been all.
Apart that, since a few weeks, there are numerous attempts to run a bit-toorent like program, accessing the main server, and, at times, on another box. It may be related to that one in particular, the router makes no distinction where the connection originates. A bit-torrent is a bit-torrent, and therefore blocked.
Update WordPress
This is a real struggle. Although it seems everything is OK, at the end there is always this ‘funny’ idea of WordPress to redirect to “http://>&site<//wptest/INDEX.PHP/INDEX.PHP“, even if I added, on Mark’s suggestion, a “map /wptest/index.php/ /wptest/” line. No matter what I try, since 2.8.2 – the version that closest resembles what I use – there is this silly redirect mapping…. Bu’t I’ll keep trying. (unless someone gives me a mapping that works….)
