Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: phranque
said that my server was getting 30,000 spam emails a day.
Three years on I'm still getting the spam - but now only an average of 20,000 a day.
re: mail is being sent to nonexistent recipients email@example.com email@example.com email@example.com etc.
Well it's three years since I wrote that thread and since that time the server has received something like 22 million spam messages.
Is it possible to put a $ figure on that? In server resources, bandwidth, power usage? How many nanowatts/hr would a single message use up?
I am using sbl's now and none of that spam gets through anyway due to not using a catchall. I would have thought that the emails would have expired overtime but this is clearly not the case.
Can someone check these log files to ensure that the right thing is being done?

The server is low traffic in general.
I was just wondering if the logfiles are showing that the blocking method is efficient, i.e. it's blocking at the right stage and sending the right signal back.
I was also wondering why the emails had not dried up. You would think that the botnet controllers would change the list every few months but this is not the case.
ayucel2 at mydomain has been sent for four years now. Why hasn't the botnet dropped it?
If you can afford use Google domain tools email service. The most of SPAM will be taken care of by Google and you will get almost spam free emails.
I know this is real solution , seems like running away from real problem. But still this is an option with you.
Log analysis is most fruitful in assembling SPAM complaints based on net-blocks to their owners. Many times the headers are forged making the results of these efforts more academic than evidence worthy.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) are a highly heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders originating in B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, or natural killer (NK) cells. In the United States, B-cell NHL represents 80-85% of cases; T-cell NHL, 15-20%; and NK NHL is rare. Most hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) performed for NHL is autologous, but in some cases, physicians may perform allogeneic HCT for particularly high-risk relapsed or refractory disease. [1,2]
Figure 1 shows the increase by age group in the number of unrelated donor transplants facilitated by the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP)/Be The Match for adults with NHL between 2001 and 2012.
Figure 1. Unrelated Donor HCT in Adult NHL
The outlook for patients with NHL has steadily improved over the last decade due to several clinical advances, including:
- Increased use of reduced-intensity conditioning regimens for older patients and those with comorbidities to reduce transplant-related mortality
- More refined prognostication using molecular techniques to ascertain which patients would benefit most from transplantation [3]
- New research indicating that autologous or reduced-intensity allogeneic HCT is beneficial in chemotherapy-sensitive patients with mantle cell lymphoma. [4]
A Case-Based Approach to CLL and Mantle Cell Lymphoma
View this educational activity, which explores the challenges with evolving therapies for patients with CLL and MCL. What are the optimal approaches using conventional chemotherapy, novel agents, as well as transplantation?
Improved Survival
Figure 2 shows the outcomes of unrelated donor transplantation for patients with NHL. Between 2001 and 2012, one-year survival increased 13%, and two-year survival increased 12%. Since 1990, one-year survival has increased 24% and two-year survival has increased 22%. [5]

FDA Campaign Aims to Make Online Drug Purchases Safer
Latest Medications News
FRIDAY, Sept. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Understanding and minimizing the risks of buying prescription drugs online are the goals of a new public education campaign by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
A recent FDA survey of Internet users found that 29 percent said they were unsure of how to safely buy prescription medications online, yet more than 20 percent of respondents said they use the Internet to buy the drugs.
The Internet makes it easier for fraudulent and illegal online pharmacies to sell medicines to Americans because they can operate outside the system of federal and state safeguards that protect people from inappropriate or unsafe medicines, according to the FDA.
Medicines bought from fraudulent or illegal online pharmacies could be counterfeit, contaminated, past their expiration date, contain the wrong or no active ingredient, or not have FDA approval. Using these medicines could put your health, or the health of your family, at risk, the FDA warned in a news release.
Only 3 percent of websites that were reviewed appeared to meet state and federal pharmacy laws, according to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, the organization responsible for licensing pharmacies.
It can be difficult for consumers to known if an online pharmacy is trustworthy, according to the news release. Many fraudulent online pharmacies use convincing marketing tactics and have websites that appear legitimate.
The FDA's new campaign, called BeSafeRx: Know Your Online Pharmacy, provides information to help consumers identify and avoid troublesome online pharmacies. One of the most common warning signs is exceptionally low prices.
"Fraudulent online pharmacies often offer deep discounts," FDA commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg said in the news release. "If the low prices seem too good to be true, they probably are."
The campaign also recommends that consumers beware of online pharmacies that:
Consumers should buy medicines only from online pharmacies that:

Originally posted by more_serotonin_pls
Hello people,
Recently I have started seeing numerous ghost cats in my house. I don't mean a vaguely transparent cat sitting in front of me though, I'm talking about seeing one walk past out of the corner of my eye, running across the hall in front of me and things like that. Sometimes, plants are even knocked over in the night.
It's not scary at all, just strange. it's a newish house so I'm the only person to have ever lived there and my cat died about 5 years ago. It could be her, but I'm not sure.
Essentially, what I'm wondering is does anyone else have any experience of dead pets in their house, and why I can see (sort of) the animal ghosts but not any human ones?
Anyone got any ideas?

Amanda Seyfried is dating actor Justin Long, according to reports on a US entertainment website. The couple were spotted together at the July 30th premiere of 'Lovelace', Seyfried's latest film.
Amanda Seyfried is allegedly dating actor Justin Long. Sources, speaking to US Weekly, say the couple were seen together at the Lovelace premiere, the recently released film in which Seyfried stars. The source, who was allegedly at the premiere, said "they weren't making out or anything like that, but they were just inseparable during the event. He hung out when she talked with others" and that "Justin stayed close to Amanda all night."
Amanda Seyfried at a screening of Lovelace held at the May Fair Hotel in London.
It is not certain how the couple met but a source told US that "they recently started hanging out more, going on date-like activities." However, the source added "they're both busy, but they're seeing where it goes."
Long may have hinted at their flourishing relationship on Twitter. Tweeting on Sunday (11th August), he told his followers to go see Lovelace as "adjectives don't do justice to Amanda Seyfried's performance."
Adjectives don't do justice to @AmandaSeyfried's fearless + transformative perf in #Lovelace (though I would've been better) -just go see it— Justin Long (@justinlong) August 10, 2013
The Lovelace star dated Dominic Cooper, who she starred opposite in Mamma Mia, for over three years. The couple split up in 2010 but remain close friends. In an interview with Elle, Seyfried said "he'll [Cooper] always be in my life regardless of what his girlfriends or future wife think." She continued by saying she would never sacrifice their friendship for the sake of a boyfriend's jealous: "I'm never going to be with a guy that can't deal with my friendship with him." Since her split, Seyfried has been linked to Desmond Harrington, who stars in Dexter as Joseph Quinn. It is believed their relationship began last summer but has been over for some time.
Whilst Long was in a relationship with Drew Barrymore between 2007-2007 and then again in 2010. He tends to shy away from the public eye and does not discuss his private life in interviews; a source described him as "super private".
See Amanda Seyfried in Lovelace, out in the US now, it is due to be released in the UK on August 23rd.

Flipkens beats Ivanovic at Generali Ladies
Updated: October 12, 2012, 5:11 PM ETAssociated Press
LINZ, Austria -- Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium defeated two-time champion Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 6-0 Friday in the quarterfinals of the Generali Ladies. Top-ranked Victoria Azarenka, fifth-seeded Julia Goerges and Irina-Camelia Begu also advanced to the semifinals.
Flipkens, who is ranked 66th and had to qualify for the main draw, trailed 3-1 before winning 11 of the next 12 games.
"It's incredible that I've beaten her," Flipkens said. "I tried to play my own game and switched a lot between ...

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama inherited two wars on taking office, one he called "dumb" to his political benefit and the other he described more urgently as "the war we need to win." It is the former today that poses the most immediate challenge to his national security priorities and to his foreign policy legacy.
Iraq is splintering, and with it both the original neo-conservative belief that a sectarian dictatorship could be made quickly into a stable democracy and Obama's hands-off approach to the wider region.
Less than three years after pulling American forces out of Iraq, Obama is weighing a range of short-term military options, including airstrikes, to quell an al-Qaeda-inspired insurgency that has captured key Iraqi cities and threatened to press toward Baghdad.
"We do have a stake in making sure that these jihadists are not getting a permanent foothold," Obama said Thursday in the Oval Office.
The Islamist insurgents now seizing cities across Iraq's battered north grew up in Syria, whose civil war Obama has steadfastly avoided despite the grave risks it poses to the region's delicate stability.
Those threats of a wider regional war have been given shape. In recent days, armed Islamists spanning the Syrian border have seized Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, and a string of Sunni Muslim towns, long estranged from the Shiite-led central government, that run south to the edge of Baghdad.
Turkey and Iran may intervene, and Iraq's Kurds have moved into the long-contested city of Kirkuk, which was abandoned by the Iraqi army.
"My team is working around the clock to identify how we can provide the most effective assistance to them," Obama said. "I don't rule out anything, because we do have a stake in making sure that these jihadists are not getting a permanent foothold in either Iraq or Syria, for that matter."
However, officials firmly ruled out putting American troops back on the ground in Iraq, where lightning gains by the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Levant this week led to the evacuation Thursday of Americans from a major air base in northern Iraq where the U.S. had been training security forces.
How the United States ends its wars, those that have followed the Sept. 11 attacks and defined a decade of U.S. foreign policy, has been a point of debate in recent days.
Within months, the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan is scheduled to end, bringing to an official close the United States' longest war, even if several thousand troops will remain. Obama's controversial decision this month to trade a group of Taliban detainees for captured U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was framed as part of an unsatisfying end-of-war process.
The Obama administration has stepped up shipments of military hardware to Iraq in recent months, including assault rifles, transport helicopters and other equipment. The U.S. already is flying unmanned aircraft over Iraq for intelligence purposes, an official told The Associated Press.
How Obama will decide now on Iraqi requests for more direct assistance may have an effect not only on the insurgents' advance but also on the prospects for Obama's party in the midterm elections in November.
"Should American men and women be fighting in Iraq today and is that the right decision for our national security interests?" White House press secretary Jay Carney asked. "We cannot have U.S. forces around the world in armed conflicts without end — it's simply not a wise approach to our national security interests."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called what is transpiring in Iraq a "colossal failure of American security policy" and called for Obama's entire national security team to resign.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, accused the president of "taking a nap" while conditions worsened.
Several thousand Americans remain in Iraq, mostly contractors who work at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on programs to train Iraqi forces on American military equipment like fighter jets and tanks. One of the largest training missions was based at the air base in the city of Balad, about an hour northwest of Baghdad, where three planeloads of Americans were being evacuated. They included 12 U.S. government officials and military personnel.
Carney said he couldn't confirm a Wall Street Journal report that two battalions of elite Quds Forces from Iran, an ally of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government, are backing up Iraqi forces.
In announcing the full troop withdrawal, Obama had hedged against future days of car bombs, sectarian attacks and political strife. He warned that "there will be some difficult days ahead for Iraq.
"And the United States will continue to have an interest in an Iraq that is stable, secure and self-reliant."
The Associated Press and Bloomberg News contributed to this report.

thats the way to go kid!!!
I hope he makes an impression this year!
BenHibbs : So we'll have 4 strikers to start the season. Rooney, Berba, Hernandez, Macheda, with Owen to join them. Looks like Welbeck & Diouf loans

@GHTT: Hi mate… just wondering how do you get those Twitter updates?
Is there an app or website?
I've got iphhone and wouldn't mind being able to get that info from United Journo's.
Cheers in advance
i am expecting to see another version of aston villa goal from u this season
is it me or does Kiko sounded like Ronny? lol
He 's only 18 and flipping tall young boy! Good in the air too ! I love to see him more than Barba.. I'm sorry Barba I love United more than Anything!
Think about Hernandez Rooney Macheda up front 3 strikers attack! They will be all over the oppositions and terrorising them!!!
Can't wait! Ohh… No 7 for Hernandez!!
@Linvoy, create an account on twitter.com and follow Ben Hibbs. You'll automatically get all his updates.
In the iPhone, you can use your safari browser or even download twitter for iPhone app from the App store.
Berbatov – Wazza – Chicharito – Macheda
'Nuff said.
The thing that I like about Kiko the most is that he already knows how to use his body inside the penalty box. I think out of all our strikers, he is the one most capable to replace Rooney as a striker who leads the line.
Robinho hopes to stay at Santos
He also mentions about possibly moving to other clubs in Europe, but it clearly shows he does not want to go back to the Shit hole again.
i think chicharito will be ahead of him(macheda) and he has the talent to lead the line, he is also lot older than macheda
We will see. Haven't seen enough of Chicha, so I don't know if he is better as a main striker or as a second striker playing off the centre forward.
robhino said ""I think I belong in Brazil more than the Premier League."
fuck me has the cunt no ambtition….
though being at shitty would want anyone wanna go home
he is more of owen type player…from what i have seen till now…
@Ulster Red
He was being diplomatic mate. Of course he meant to say "I belong in Brazil more than the Wastelands".
If they told him that Chelsea were interested in him again, he'd be doing cartwheels.
you are alot wiser than me mate
Still feel he should be kept. He wont be a regular anyways and at this age he needs to play a a higher level than reserve football
Welbeck and Diouf should be loaned out but Cleverley should be kept.
Also Berbatov and Owen are in the twilight of their careers so macheda, Hernandez are stars for the future. Welbeck looks okay but needs to do better. Diouf has decent pace but dont rate him at all. sorry
@Ulster Red
Lol, I am not. It's just basic logic. Playing for that team can be traumatic for anyone.
I am surprised though that no other club had asked City about him. They could capitalise on their need to get rid off 7-8 squad players.
in my opinion, there are way too many average players in our squad. The new restriction is going to help us weed out them. And also I am praying for either Macheda or Hernandez to force the useless berbatov out of the team,
The juries still out on Kiko, but he has time on his side. I would prefer he stayed, Diouf and Welbeck will probably be the two to go out on loan. I do hope he gets more of a chance, than he did last season, it could be Kiko's time to shine.
well no matter what happens he wil always be a United legend for that goal against Vila haha
If United ever made a hall of fame for dramatic late goals Macheda vs Villa would have its own wing
God I give up when I read comments like ethiored. Whats the point.
Am gonna call the Samaratains be easier.
That's the attitude Kiko. Behind you all the way

From 50-year-old vines, a 2005 Chapelle-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes smells of intensely ripe black-raspberry and tiny Maine blueberries, comes onto the palate with a sappy, slightly resinous, pungently spicy and berryish, almost Zinfandel-like fruit personality allied to very Burgundian carnality, and finishes with dark concentration yet panache. Silky, refined tannins and an overall sleekness suggest a wine to revisit in 8-10 years as one would hate to miss out on some remaining elements of this wine's strikingly intense primary fruit.Author: David Schildknecht

($255) Deep red-ruby. Wild, sexy aromas of musky dark raspberry, smoked meat and flowers. Dense, rich, thick and superconcentrated, with a powerful core of candied cherry fruit. This really saturates the palate with flavor. No doubt constituted for a long life in bottle, but today the tannins are hidden by the wine's sheer mass of fruit.Author: Stephen Tanzer

A couple of months ago we had to hire a new sitter when our other sitter wenit back to school. We found this girl off care.com she seemed like a nice girl and she lived close and had open avaliabailty. After a month or so she started to do things that bothered me. For instance she lets the kids destroy the house. I dont ask her to clean but use common sense if you dirty a dish put it in the sink, dont let the kids drag all the toys out then not put them back ect. Ds said she sits on the couch and texts all the time. She eats a lot of our food. I feel bad because I know she lives with her mom and they dont have a lot of money so maybe shes hungry. Its just ridiculous amounts. Last week in one day it was a box of mac n cheese, a can of beefaroni, a can of soup, and a nutrigrain bar 3 cans of diet coke. All of which she left on my kitchen counter. In a 4 hour time span. She cancelled twice in the past 2 weeks because she was "too hungover." I wanted to fire her right then but dh said its not our bussiness what she does when she isnt babysitting. Now things are starting to be misplaced. Im finding my make-up in different places and my flat iron in a slightly different place. I asked ds if she uses my make-up and he said yes. EWWWW I dont like people using my make-up maybe Im weird but I dont like it. Now the big problem last night I went to the liquor cabinet to put a bottle of wine in the fridge and stuff is missing. A bottle of jack that dh got for his birthday last year unopened, and a bottle of wine. Im not going to outright say it was her because I didnt see her do it but no one else has really been in the house unattended. Our neighbor was here a few weeks back for a bonfire and was in the house a few times but i didnt see her with anything. The kids are used to her and shes not bad to them its the other stuff that bothers me. Like if shes using my make up is she going through my stuff? Did she steal liquor is she an alcoholic (shes 20.) Like I said i do feel bad for her I knwo she needs the money but I dont feel comfortable with her anymore. Would you fire her or just talk to her?
would you fire her?
Fired for sure.
I would start looking for a new caregiver ASAP. My nanny is 24 years old and does none of the things you mention. Well, my son is 19 months old and can't really communicate much so I don't know if she just texts all the time. But things definitely do NOT disappear or get moved when she is at our home.
If you're having doubts about her, fire her. This is your family. Not worth it to have doubts.

If it were just that the toys were everywhere and that she ate a lot of food that would be fine. Hungover, not coming to work, using your makeup those are all bad. If it were just one thing I would talk with her but since it seems to be like a list of things I think it will be hard for her to correct everything so I would try to look for someone new. Good Luck!

Fire her. It is your business what she does in her free time if it affects her availability to work. I would not feel comfortable with someone sneaky in my house and if she doesn't have any qualms about using your makeup and taking stuff then you should also question how she cares for your children. I'm not sure from your post if this is someone that babysits on occasion or if she is your childcare provider while you work but if I were going to pay someone to watch my kids on a regular basis I would expect them to do more with my kids then just sitting on the couch.

Oh and the makeup thing really squeeks me out, too. Ew!!!!
I strongly suggest finding another babysitter first and then letting her go. What she is doing outside of work hours (drinking as a 20 year old) does affect you, since she is canceling on you with the excuse of a hangover. Using your make-up and flat iron mean she isn't paying attention to your child and is stealing (whether or not she took the alcohol). It's so hard to find someone good, but your family deserves better.
We just use her for the in between times when I leave for work until dh gets home. Occasionally a saturday morning when I have to leave early and dh has to work a few hours. Right now dh is off for the week for the holidays then during winter break our previous sitter (who we all adore) will be with the kids. So I think I wil only need her for another week then yea Im telling her no more. Over winter break Ill be looking for someone else.
That sounds fair- she is definitely not going a good job, when I was a nanny I ALWAYS made sure to clean up the kids messes, or at least keep it somewhat tidy. I understand kids make messes, but if its her sole job while she's there to look after them she can handle to clean up a little. Eating that much of your food sounds weird to me too. I mean, the places I nannied at always told me I could eat whatever I wanted, but I didn't pig out at their house and I CERTAINLY didn't leave my dishes/wrappers on the counter. That's gross! Not to mention not coming to work cuz she's "too hungover" WOW, definitely NOT ok for anyone, AND she's underage! The more I think about this sitter the more I think she's awful!!

A valuable examination of the tyranny of body image--this time over menNot so long ago, what the average American man did mattered more than how he looked. Since the 1970s, however, projecting the right look has become more and more essential, and men are spending millions of dollars on fitness training, bodybuilding, hair replacement, and cosmetic surgery in the relentless pursuit of physical perfection.What has caused American men to fall into the beauty trap so long assumed to be a special danger for women? This book looks at the confluence of social, economic, and cultural changes that have shaped the new cult of male body image in postwar America. Lynne Luciano explores what men are doing to themselves, asks why they are doing it, and discovers what this new world tells us about American society today.

Hope everyone is staying cool, eating hot dogs, and exploding sparkly things in honor of our nation's birth!
While you are enjoying the holiday, I'd like to encourage you to make a donation to one of the many charities that fights for the freedom of those enslaved around the world. I can't imagine a better way to celebrate your freedom by giving freedom to someone else!
I'm making a donation to Courage Worldwide, a charity based here in Sacramento that provides rescue and restoration of young girls rescued out of sex trafficking locally (yes, it happens in your backyard). I volunteer for this organization regularly, and I can see first-hand the amazing work they are doing bringing freedom and a safe home for girls who have suffered so much. Freedom doesn't just mean not having a physical oppressor. It also means freedom of the heart and soul, to live a life of courage, purpose, and love.

Searcys is the catering group that operate in some of Britain's most iconic buildings. Their flagship venue is the Restaurant and Bar at the top of the Gherkin, 30 St Mary Axe. Searcys had recently re-positioned themselves as a consumer facing brand and approached codegent to come up with the digital strategy and solution for their re-launch.
The Gherkin is one of the most recognisable and universally admired buildings on the London skyline. However, few people have had the opportunity to go to the very top to experience it for themselves. Traditionally photography had been used to convey the space, atmosphere and phenomenal vistas of London but it simply didn't make you feel like you were there.
- How should we incorporate the re-brand of the Restaurant and Bar as 40|30, with the Searcys' new brand promise of 'Amplifying Iconic Experiences'?
- How should we give every potential lead a sense of the possibilities of the venue?
- How should we additionally raise the profile of other Searcys venues?
By showcasing Searcys' flagship venue with a full-screen film we took the user to the top of the Gherkin and immersed them in the experience of 40|30.
The venue was portrayed in use, when it is at its best. The client had found this difficult to achieve on site visits, a critical point of the sales process, when events would not be in progress.
We wanted the film to be dreamlike, a golden memory of your time there rather than a literal depiction. This was realised with the choice of stock, lenses, lighting and post-production techniques used. The quality and style reflects the high standards and innovative design of the space itself. We commissioned an original music score, timed to the final cut, to amplify these feelings and emotions.
This is more than just a film, it's an interactive experience. Although the story reflects the core service offerings of the venue, at critical points the user can delve deeper for more information on each offering with clear calls to action to fulfil its primary role as a sales tool.
By opening the doors to 40|30, an aspirational venue, and by positioning the website alongside all other Searcys' brands, we have used the exposure and positive association of the Gherkin to raise the profile of their other venues.
