Spring Cleaning

Posted by Tim Kellers on


"Serendipity will get you through times of no Internet better than Internet will get you through times of no Serendipity" --Perfesser Pedagogue

Heeding those words of wisdom:while Serendipity35's code sorcerers update the magic spells that guide us through the cyberspace cloud (and may also knock us offline intermittently over the next 24 hours), we direct you to the current list of spammers and general e-mail bad guys for your reading pleasure.

If your socks drawer is already arranged, if you've already washed and waxed the cat, and if you know that even Spring Training baseball on TV is still a week away: there is no better time to update your spam filters to keep your e-mail Spring Cleaning right on track.

You might notice hotmail.com (still) on and yahoo.com (newly) on the banned e-mail spammers list. Hotmail.com has failed for years in preventing spammers from using their hostname; yahoo.com has had recent problems with spammers flooding the market with real and faked yahoo.com e-mail relays. It is likely that yahoo.com will far sooner have its current spam troubles solved than hotmail.com ever will.

And it is probable that the code warriors at Serendipity35 will have the blog back up and running, by the time any of us get this whole spam block thing figured out. It just might take a little (more) serendipity.
