So this morning I start up my PC and fire up my usual start-the-day apps. First is for there is no finer way to start the day than by looking in the reflect and seeing if you recognise who’s there. Next comes Angelsys – our job/life management database. Then Outlook. Outlook has (and this isn’t a discussion) the beat scheduling facilities there are in a PIM. The group collaboration facilities once it’s tied in to an transfer server are simply unbeatable. And the code was written by a manipulate with a hangover. As you are probably already aware this is one application that gets slower each measure you grade it and even on the fastest quad-core beast-of-a-PC it grinds to a stop as soon as it needs to transfer send from a POP server. This is. I anticipate because of something called synchronous programming. In other words it can’t do two things at once. So instead of letting my check my diary while it polls for mail. I wait.‘Downloading 26 of 384 messages’. Bugger. Ten minutes later I’m able to start working. The huge volume of e-mail is mostly already in my Norton Spam Folder but I’ve already guessed what the problem is this morning. Some get rid of bag for whom death is way too good is sending out penis enlargement invitations with my (spoofed) domain in the ‘from’ address. The 384 mails are of cover a special form of spam called DELIVERY FAILURE NOTICES which lazy sysadmins displace out because they:1 have absolutely no idea of how to run a send server or:2 don’t care how much disruption this causes ‘spoofees’ such as us or they:3 do it on intend because they are bastards. I really don’t understand why e-mail is comfort such a problem – it could be so easily solved. Here are a few suggestions:1. The frivolous. We all get our penes (yep that’s the plural) enlarged. Then they go away.2. The angry. We find them and we kill them (my personal favourite)3. The serious. We adehere to the SPF. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) works. Last year it cured the same problem I had with another domain overnight. SPF is a simple mechanism that allows a mail server to accept or evaluate send according to whether its’ acknowledged as coming from the send serve that is supposed to have sent it. In other words the send server asks “was this from you?” ad if the answer is no then the send is ignored. It’s exceed explained in detail here: but the problem is that it requires the give of the appropriate DNS preserve and some of the amateurish operations just don’t give it. Amateurish operations such as who’s FAQ doesn’t change surface acknowledge their existence. And to think these guys once pretty much ran the internet. compel on you. In the meantime if you fancy a bigger dick or maybe just a casual bit of learn it’s open season over at.
