A brief article has just gone live at the Handlers Diary at the SANS Internet Storm Centre with by-line “Relay Reject Woes”http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?storyid=1299 Pity that poor guy putting all that time and effort into fighting the spam-bots.

Tony Chor blogged about a dinner he attended which was held at Frisson in San Francisco just prior to the IE7 B2 launch … so many photos.. so many familiar faces… sometimes living on another continent, and even worse, living in the most isolated city on said continent really sucks.

Yes, I know, we seem to be talking an awful lot lately about IE, Windows and OE patches and the problems they are causing – what can I say – its been a bad month. MS has released a KB article addressing problems that users of Outlook Web Access may experience after installing the EOLAS […]
