All the usual things.
Again, no surprises. The mail statistics seem to have stabilized:

The percentage of messages that are actual delivered gets up, thanks to more restrictive filtering. However, there are some that are hard to get around because there is way too little content to filter on. Despite the majority of these contain embedded HTML or PDF, the naming of the content is way too random to filter upon, as well as the subject and content that may have been added. I could, of course, but would miss out valid mails as well. Perhaps I should change the filter to “BLOCK UNLESS” instead of “ALLOW UNLESS”?
The amount of relay attempts was small again in November; Just one file exceeded the threshold of 4 blocks (which is the minimal size of a file, regardless the number of entries). Not that many entries anyway, but 14 attempts in 10 minutes. All from one address (115.223.19.84) by “test@freedominter.net” to “garymanages@gmail.com”. The weird part is that this address seems to be registered in Korea, where freedominter.net is a synonym of freedomnet.nl (my ISP), as shown digging these. Noted this to the ISP helpdesk, as it might be a violation of rules.
No further activity on programming or publishing since I have another new point of focus; though this new hobby could trigger progress to be able to report on this as well.
