[INFO] (more) Email server issues

If you've tried emailing me in the last 24 hours, you've probably noticed my incoming mail server once again, has issues. No clue what those issues actually are, Domain Monster have advised they're looking into it.

Needless to say, I can't receive emails at present I'm afraid. Can still be reached via the several forums I frequent/own/manage.

Dear Hostcomm.ru - seriously?

I sent an abuse report recently (the report in this case, was actually sent to r01.ru, but r01.ru = hostcomm.ru), as I do several hundred times per day, and a few minutes ago, this arrived;

So my question to hostcomm.ru - when did an abuse report become spam?

The more hillarious part, the report concerned a number of credit card fraud sites (my friends at DirectI have already now suspended all but one of them (all but one, because one of them (logoshopcc.com) wasn't with DirectI)).

dDos: it-mate.co.uk, forum.avantbrowser.com server

You've probably noticed by now that the server that houses it-mate.co.uk and forum.avantbrowser.com (amongst others), is down and has been for at least 48-72 hours or there abouts. The reason I'm told, is the server is still under a dDos attack.

No idea who is responsible at this point, or why, and am waiting for the host to send me further details. In short, once I know - you will.

Updates: Quite a few

Quite a few updates over the past few days. First and foremost, the bug with sURL is fixed. Secondly, whilst the hpHosts site is still having issues, I've modified the config to try and alleviate the issue, so it should stay up longer than it was. I've also got updates to a few programs going up over the next 72 hours or so (desperate for sleep, and my body and sleeping tablets have decided I've got to stay awake, despite both being awake since yesterday, driving for 8+ hours from the other end of the country, back home, and stressed to holy hell and back - oh the joys). The next full hpHosts update will also be getting pushed out over the next 48 hours. There was a few others, but my brain is fried so can't remember what else I was going to mention - it'll come back to me.
