SPF record added to DNS
Anyone attempting to send mail using a forged grootersnet.nl user (be it fake or existing) from a server that is not within my LAN (and hence, behind the IP address of my connection) will now face failure – if the receiving server is configured to use SPF to check the legitimacy of the sender by checking email domain with server address – it should match; I just had an SPF record being installed. Thanks to the regitar, that gave me a site to set it up, and via Google, I found a site to check it.
WordPress updated
Learned when entering previous post: There is a new version of WordPress – I just installed it.
Most remarkable: It seems to eb a LOT faster. Reacts better, anyway.
The next version is scheduled to be released in week or so, so there will be another update soon.
