Just the usual
There seems to be nothing peculiar, one more.
Spam gets less and less:

and other than last months, the number of relay attemps have been a bit more, but minor numbers (except from the expected standard tests by tiscali.it, a few from China (using sender test@82.161.236.244, recepient mtyndallo@yahoo.com.tw, and one other one) and a few from the UK (from “anonymous” email addresses at yahoo and msn, sending to ndo927416@gmail.com) on 03-Aug-2021, causing this log to be over 2Kb in size, be it just.

Change of ISP ahead
This month, I will change ISP. Have to, since the current one (XS4ALL) will stop all hosting activities (including DNS registration) at 01-Oct-2021. I could just change registrar but changing ISP (Freedom.nl) has been in the pipeline for a long time, so I decided to move registration AND access – making it easier to adapt DNS if needed.
However, there is a gap between the date that XS4ALL will stop handling my registration (12-Sep-2021) and installation of my new connection (15-dec-2021). Connection to the internet is simple enough, just another login, the method will be the same. Voip is also a matter of another server, but IPTV may be a bit different, though it should work as simple as it is: defining another route.
Hopefully, the transition will be as simple as it looks. Fingers crossed.

CMS
Some work is still needed on the presenter, and little time is spent on it. So it is (again) delayed some time…
