This article is the second and final installment describing my efforts to defend my systems from spam. The first article explains some necessary concepts and terminology. This article will dig more into the details of an actual implementation with my mail system. One thing to note is that I used qmail for my mail system (hence the title), but the information in here could apply to just about any email server in production today.
In the previous article, I covered the history and the protocol used by network level spam defenses but not the existing landscape of RBL Providers that supply blocklists. There are quite a few of them out there, and I needed to select one for my system. At first, I polled a few friends to see what they were doing. Most had tried a blocklist at some point. I found that some people mix various blocklists and usually don't trust them enough for their corporate machines. Some switch providers periodically since the quality isn't stable. One friend had to get new blocks of IP addresses for his service since he was in the same network block as a spammer. This form of collateral damage caused him to be very negative about the whole subject.
The biggest problem with a network level defense has been the providers. Although they all conform to the protocol, they vary wildly on what goes into their blocklist database. This is a direct result of how they came to be. Almost all of them are grassroots efforts by individuals or small groups, each with different opinions and policies about how they operate. Some groups are very private and do not disclose much about their members or their policies. Some of them have very sensitive trigger fingers and others do not. Some groups are very aggressive about adding to their lists while others are extremely lax.
Without a good policy and consistent operation, I was leery of letting anybody control my mail server. It is easy to understand why it's important to be cautious about this. No one wants to disrupt their incoming mail. If an RBL provider consistently blocks the wrong hosts, it might take a while to fix. I might have to build my own special list of exceptions to their blocklist. This seemed like the kind of work I didn't want to add to my already long list of duties.
Towards the end of my research, I had one conversation that turned out to be really interesting. I used to work with a guy named Mark Fletcher at eGroups. He had been working on the spam problem for a little while and we'd come to the same conclusions. However, he had decided that he had a new twist and he started a service called Trustic to provide it.
Fletcher decided to build a trust network for email servers on the Internet. Trust networks are becoming a popular technique for getting good results out of systems that could potentially include untrustworthy individuals (such as spammers). The best and most impressive examples of trust networks today are eBay, Google, and Advogato.
Like other trust systems, Trustic takes recommendations from registered users about IP addresses of other systems. Each user has a level of trust. Users build their trust by making accurate recommendations over time. In order for a host to become untrusted, the cumulative trust level of the recommendations has to be above a certain threshold. For example, if two well-trusted users mark a server as untrustworthy, that server would become untrusted. If a bunch of new users tried to mark a server as untrusted, it would take a large number of them. If someone abuses their trust rating, their trust level is reduced and becomes harder to raise. There are more descriptions on Trustic's web site, but that is the gist of the technique.
The trust system provides a blocklist that allows the many good users of the Internet to mark things as trusted or un-trusted very quickly. Unlike a lot of other RBL providers, Trustic also added a good web interface, email reports, and other features that make this system easy to use. As a result of these policies and the web interface, it was easy to trust blocking email to Mark's system. As an added bonus for me, he incorporated a lot of my feedback into the design before he fully launched in January of 2003.
To use his service, I logged in and got an account. The registration gave me a number to use when making an IP4R query of the system, when forwarding spam to the Trustic system, or when sending and receiving recommendations. The number allows Trustic to tailor its responses to the particular user. Each user can have his own blocklist rules. Originally, Trustic relied on the registrant's IP address for submissions or queries. This didn't work with the dynamic IP addresses assigned by most ISPs.
Now that I have a provider for blocklist information, how do I use it with my mail server? Well, before we get to that, we must go over qmail a bit in case there are any readers who aren't yet comfortable with qmail configuration. Once that little step is out of the way, it is a lot easier to understand the actual steps involved to integrate with Trustic or some other IP4R provider. In fact, it took me much more time to write this article than to install and test this setup. (If you don't run qmail, you can skip this section, but if you are curious, it shouldn't be a hard read.)
qmail, written by Dan Bernstein (DJB), follows a few simple principles
in its design. Once you understand these, understanding what I'm about to
describe becomes much easier. In order of priority, DJB wanted qmail to
be secure, extensible, reliable, and fast. One of the first design
decisions was to divide the email system into several smaller
programs. This is the same successful technique that the original Unix
architects used when building a text processing system from commands like
cut, or
cat. Each small
program that makes up qmail does just one particular task and usually runs
as a less-privileged user. Each tries to do the absolute minimum required
for that particular task. This keeps the programs from "becoming too many
things to too many tasks", which usually causes programs to look like
"spaghetti code".
Because the programs and code are smaller and simpler, the code is easier to both debug or audit. Also, when the programs do interact with each other, they use a simple pipeline API. Such a system allows you to insert or remove different pieces from the pipeline for your specific situation. Finally, the programs are designed to be efficient with the operating system's resources (CPU and memory). This has a nice side effect of making the system fast even on older systems.
To summarize,
As a result of qmail's design, it was an easy choice for many of the Internet services I worked at in the past. It was easy to scale the package to handle enormous mail loads. It was free and it worked on our favorite operating systems. It also won the security contest hands down compared to any other mail package. Naturally, I would end up running the system for my own personal mail system. I have been running the same code for about 5 years without recompiling. I can't remember how many times I've seen other mail systems get listed on CERT or Bugtraq. I've never had any issues with qmail, and I like that a lot. It just runs and runs.
Now that we have some of that light background on the philosophy of qmail, let's see how it expresses itself through an incoming email.
qmail, like most email systems, is all about moving email into and out
of various queues for delivery. qmail has one queue where it receives all
incoming email to be analyzed for delivery. Email is injected into that
queue via a program called
qmail-queue. True to the DJB
philosophy, that program insures that email properly gets into the
incoming queue safely and securely. It will not respond with a success
code unless every step went properly. It is the responsibility of other
small programs to receive mail via SMTP, QMQP, or the command line, and
then properly feed the mail to
qmail-queue. For our case,
we're only concerned with the SMTP handler, since that is how systems
receive mail from the internet. The specific qmail program that handles an
SMTP transaction is
Since qmail programs are designed to do the minimum necessary, the
qmail-smtpd program just handles the SMTP conversation on a
socket. To be clear, it will not setup the socket for listening or wait
for connections. It relies on some other program to do those things. This
is an interesting design choice because it allows us to insert other
programs to perform checks in front of
In the past, most servers on Unix would use the
inetddaemon to setup and listen on sockets. qmail, being a
program from that era, was probably just conforming to that norm. These
days, it is rare for a server to use an
inetd since it is
poor at handling lots of connections or a hostile Internet. The
interesting thing here is that the older design style allows us to add new
filtering capabilities to qmail without having to change any of the
existing qmail code. So in order to solve the
deficiencies and to keep the system extensible, DJB wrote another small
program called
tcpserver. Its sole purpose is to perform
socket setup, filtering, and listening. It has several parameters for
setting TCP options, checking a simple list of IP addresses to block, or
performing anti-spoofing checks. When a connection does arrive,
tcpserver sets some environment variables and starts the
program specified on it's command line. The main environment variable we
are concerned with is
TCPREMOTEIP,which contains a string
representation of the remote host's IP address.
Normally, in a qmail installation,
tcpserver will run
qmail-smtpd as its next program in the pipeline. However, we
want to filter our incoming SMTP connections before we accept an
email. Therefore we need something to query our Trustic account via IP4R
before we accept an email via TCP. As luck would have it, DJB wrote a
program to do just this. That program is called
rblsmptd program, as you'd expect, does one basic
thing. It checks the incoming connection using IP4R. If all goes well, it
runs a program specified on its command line. This is that same basic
pipeline API of handing off the socket. In order for
to do its job, it checks the
TCPREMOTEIP environment
variable, making an IP4R query against some system specified on the
command line. Depending on the outcome of that and the influence of a few
command line arguments, it will either end the SMTP transaction or run the
next program. In our case the next program to run will be the
rblsmtpd has some important command line arguments that
have important semantics, so I'll cover them in detail here. (These
descriptions are straight from the documentation). They handle how your
system deals with an IP4R request success or failure. That success or
failure in turn determines how and when mail will be rejected. Obviously,
this is important.
Command line options for rblsmtpd:
-r base: use
base as an IP4R/RBL source. An IP
address a.b.c.d is listed by that source if d.c.b.a.base has a TXT record.
rblsmtpd uses the contents of the TXT record as an error message
for the client.
-B: (default) use a 451 error code for IP addresses listed in
the RBL.
-b: use a 553 error code for IP addresses listed in the
-C: (default) handle RBL lookups in a "fail-open" mode. If an
RBL lookup fails temporarily, assume that the address is not listed.
-c: handle RBL lookups in a "fail-closed" mode. If an RBL
lookup fails temporarily, assume that the address is listed (but use a 451
error code even with
For my system, I chose the following change to my
startup line:
rblsmtpd -b -c -r 1234567.query.trustic.com \
In order to understand the effects of these, let met give a quick primer on mail rejection or bouncing. There are really only two forms of mail bounces, in layman terms, "Hard Bounce" and "Soft Bounce". A Hard Bounce causes the sending mail system to give up immediately on delivering an email, generating an error email or "bounce" to be delivered to the sender. A Soft Bounce causes the sending mail system to give up temporarily on delivering an email. The sending mail server may then try again after an hour or some other specified timeout. If the mail continues to get a "Soft Bounce" code from the receiving mail server for some specified time (between two days and a week), the sending mail server will give up and deliver a bounce message. In both cases, the sending mail server takes responsibility for generating or delivering the bounce.
In the above configuration, I chose the
-b and
-c command line parameters. With
-b, I'm
choosing to cause a Hard Bounce to any email from an untrusted host. This
is important because I want senders to know immediately if there is a
problem. With the
-c parameter, I'm choosing to Soft Bounce
if Trustic should happen to have any downtime. I wouldn't want to allow
spam into my system just because of a small outage and I don't mind
delaying that email. Besides, I monitor my systems so I could change this
if it ever happened for a long time. If someone were blocked, they would
know immediately that the email delivery failed.
Finally, Trustic provides the optional TXT record that the IP4R
protocol specifies (see previous article on the IP4R protocol). The
rblsmtpd program will include that message in the SMTP error
code. The sending mail servers will then copy that SMTP error into the
bounce message to the sender. Trustic puts a URL into the message so the
sender can go to a site and read the details on why the block
Here is an example from my logs:
553 Message rejected, please see
As always, test your setup once you have it set up. You wouldn't want to lose mail for half a day because you didn't test something.
After I set the system up, not much happened. I sent recommendations and only some of them blocked spam. The service was too new to be effective. However, after about fifty users joined, things started to happen. Soon I was blocking about 8 to 10 spam a day without making those recommendations. After a few weeks, the real test came. I got hit with 1500 email attempts to my server. The attack wasn't as severe as the previous one, but it could have caused the same problems. This time, however, it produced zero load on my system. I was dropping all of the requests. I didn't even know it was occurring until I checked my logs for that day. Success!
After that, another interesting thing happened. After a while, my recommendations were having a good effect on the other mail systems using Trustic. I could see in the reports that some of my recommendations were blocking hundreds of spam emails from being delivered to other systems. It felt really good to give back to the others that helped block spam for me.
I hope these two articles have been achieved their goal of providing some good coverage of network level spam defenses. From my own recent experiences, I have seen how the use of some simple, existing protocols and a trust network could become a serious deterrent to the new spam attacks. In the future, these defenses may protect us from more than just spam. I look forward to seeing more people joining in and applying these systems to their own networks.

Message from the Superintendent
Student Success & Community Value
I am entering my fourth year as the superintendent of Bulloch County Schools, and I am excited for what our community, administrators and teacher leaders are accomplishing. For the first time in the school system's history, we have alignment of our district's overall strategic plan, our schools' improvement plans, and each Central Office department's plans. We are all on the same page from the Board room to the classroom. This is critical as we become a Strategic Waiver School System and enter into a new academic performance contract with the Georgia Department of Education.
College & Career Readiness
We are focused on finding the best academic and workforce development model to match community assets with k-12 instruction. We are doing this through the Pathways to Prosperity Network (P2P). As one of only two communities selected by the state to work with the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Jobs for the Future's P2P program, we are evaluating our academic and career offerings and listening to local businesses, industry and post-secondary institutions. This is helping us develop community-driven, systems-type solutions that will help re-engineer our K-12 education experiences for students, experiences that allow every student to have opportunities based upon their interests and abilities.
Stakeholder & Community Support
I am an advocate for establishing an effective education pipeline where there is open, continuous dialogue between grade levels, schools, parents, administrators, post-secondary partners and business and industry leaders.
Through our multiple community engagement events, you have told us what you feel is going well, and how we can improve. As a Strategic Waiver School System (IE2), we believe we will have the flexibility to significantly increase community involvement, spur innovation and increase collaboration, while also focusing on common goals.
We will continue to work with the community to decide how to use what we have to do what we want with the least constraints from state government.
Optimization of Resources
We are ensuring that our leadership teams are effectively trained and empowered to carry out the strategic plan. Nearly 300 of our central office staff, school administrators, teacher leaders and Board of Education members have completed the Georgia Leadership Institute for School Improvement's Base Camp and Leadership Summit. The school system has also developed its own program, Aspiring Leaders, to better develop teachers and assistant principals for future leadership roles.
Our school system is known at the state and national level for having sound financial management. For 2015-16, the Board of Education, through its General Fund and Balance is restoring to schools the school-allocated amount of the austerity reduction that the state is still withholding from our school system. Our school leadership teams now have additional funding to address personnel and other support-related needs to affect student learning as they see fit under the flexibility of becoming a Strategic Waiver School System.
Thank You for Your Commitment to K-12 Education
Congratulations to all who are committed to doing their part to guide us well. This is what leadership is about. We all need each other. Keep up the great work.
Charles G. Wilson, Jr.
Superintendent of Schools

A group at the University of Northern Iowa is trying to reduce food waste at landfills around the state.
Waterloo television station KWWL reports the Iowa Waste Reduction Center at UNI is developing a website that would allow visitors to find their nearest compost station. The website also would show visitors where they can donate food.
The group says composting is a beneficial way to turn waste into a reusable resource.
The project is being funded by the state Department of Natural Resources, which says 14 percent of Iowa landfills are covered by food waste. The group plans to launch the website in February.

text: I've had really good advice on this site before. Now I'm wondering about fenugreek to increase my milk supply. I had started to wean my DS. He's 4 months now, and only breastfeed in the morning. Since I was feeling a lot of guilt by giving up so early, I've decided to try to increase my milk supply again. It is not working to well. My son is now at an age that he gets distracted easily and very impatient if milk flow isn't fast enough, which makes me feel sad and rejected. I do pump 3-4 times a day for 5-10 min at each breast plus try to put my son at the breast as often as possible. After this long story, I'm wondering how much fenugreek I should take to help the increase. I have 500MG caplets. I'm also taking nursing tea. I'm also wonder if it really works. Anyone. thanks in advance

Sen. Toomey Sends Letter Supporting Disaster Declaration Request For PA Counties Damaged By Hurricane Irene
Today, U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) sent a letter to President Obama supporting Governor Tom Corbett's request for a major disaster declaration for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania stemming from damages suffered in Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton, Pike, Wyoming and Wayne counties as a result of Hurricane Irene.
A major disaster declaration would allow these counties to access emergency aid through the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.
"A number of counties in our state were hard hit by Hurricane Irene, and I am hopeful that the President can issue a timely disaster declaration to help speed up the recovery process. Also, I am grateful for all of the hard work and dedication of Pennsylvania's first responders, National Guardsmen and volunteers during this storm. Their efforts to protect lives and property deserve our thanks and appreciation," said Sen. Toomey.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I haven't watched Fairy tail yet...i heard tht it is Good!!!...... should i start fairytail????
i watched the first episode couldn't get into it. im sure it's good just not my taste
I read it but I love it it's almost as good as naruto. Though I've never watched it
I watched a few episodes ... it wasn't really my kind of thing. But you may have different tastes, so might as well give it a try!
i like it funny as hell
If u want an anime with short arcs with awesome fights then yes,+ good comedy amazing soundtrack and emotional moments
Yeah yeah, great Manga and Anime, arcs are short so you get to see a lot of F'ing sh*t up, quite funny too, and the 1st opening is so awesome ;P
It got Epic fights,It gets really emotional sometimes,Comedy is epiclly hillarious and it got Fanservice!I think it is a must!
yeah i just got into myself and i love its funny as hell
love it! both anime and manga are awesome but I like manga more...^^
Guess..i'll start watching it then!!!!
It's funny and its entertaining.
I also love the fan-service.
Try it! It's one of my fave animes. Not everyone would be into this kind of anime coz it seems kinda immature.
But its funny and the characters are really awesome!!
I like it and i recently started watching it last month and i caught up in the anime and the manga pretty fast. Its awesome
it all right just needs better plot
At first look it seems absurd in my opinion but who knows... I haven't seen it.
It's an ok anime/manga.
I think its great, seems that not many people like it but it does grow on you! Well that's what I found any way. I read a chapter or two of the manga to see if I'd enjoy it, which I did then started from the start on the anime, once I caught up started from that point on in the manga. It's a little easier with this series as it isn't up to chapter 600+ unlike others.

So basically your judging it without seeing it? How can you judge if you haven't seen it? :S

text: The goal of Operation Castle was to produce a practical, deliverable thermonuclear bomb. The United States' Mike thermonuclear device—detonated Nov. 1, 1952, at Enewetak, an atoll in the Marshall Islands—had weighed some 82 tons and took up the space of a small building to hold the cryogenic equipment that kept its deuterium fuel in liquid form. In contrast, Bravo, the first test of the Operation Castle series, used solid lithium deuteride, forgoing the need for cryogenic equipment. Detonated on March 1, 1954, at Bikini, another atoll in the Marshall Islands, the Bravo bomb produced a 15-megaton explosion—three times the expected yield. The large blast produced considerable unexpected radiation, which resulted in widespread contamination that forced the U.S. government to make restitution to various injured parties.

On a day when so many Americans felt joy, peace and life-long inspiration from the March on Washington, then-Attorney General Bobby Kennedy was so nervous he could barely sit down.
"Pacing around the room," described Jack Rosenthal, Kennedy's deputy press secretary on Aug. 28, 1963. "The attorney general (was) off and on the phone, talking I presume to march organizers or to the White House."
Rosenthal was with Kennedy inside the "command center" that Justice Department officials used to monitor the march inside the Justice Department headquarters.
This week marks 50 years since the march and the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s pivotal "I Have a Dream" speech. While the event has been analyzed by countless historians, the Kennedy administration's relationship with the march wasn't so easily understood.
"The Kennedys were almost morbidly afraid of this march. They understood there'd been nothing like it," said Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-District of Columbia, who helped plan the march 50 years ago.
Yet President John F. Kennedy and his attorney general brother knew the march had to be successful, so they assigned a small staff of Justice Department officials to help.
That help was so considerable that the head of the Civil Rights division of the Justice Department at the time, Burke Marshall, would later say about the march: "The person who organized it, as a matter of fact, was the attorney general."
Critics of the march accused the Kennedy administration of being too involved.
After referring to it as the "Farce on Washington," Malcolm X would write in his autobiography, "there wasn't a single logistics aspect uncontrolled. The marchers had been instructed to bring no signs. ... They had been told how to arrive, when, where to arrive, where to assemble, when to start marching, the route to march. ... Yes, I was there. I observed that circus."
So, how did the Kennedy administration go from being against the march to being so involved that they were accused of controlling it? Did President Kennedy and his brother help, hinder or co-opt the march?
The answer lies somewhere in between.
'He thought it would be chaos'
When President Kennedy first heard of a proposed march on Washington, he wasn't exactly thrilled.
It was June 1963 and Kennedy was meeting with civil rights leaders at the White House, including 23-year-old John Lewis, who had just been elected to lead the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
"It was a very moving meeting," Lewis said. "The president was deeply concerned about what was happening in the American South. So the president wanted to know what could be done."
Then A. Philip Randolph, the elderly labor leader revered by many in the civil rights movement, announced to the president that there would be a march on Washington.
"You can tell by the very body language of President Kennedy ... he started moving and twisting in his chair. And his facial expression -- he just thought it would be chaos," recalled Lewis.
"And the president sort of said, 'Well, I think we're gonna have some problems.'"
Despite being in favor of civil rights, Kennedy's reason for opposing the march was simple:
"The Kennedy administration was afraid that if there was violence on the march, it would mean that the Civil Rights Act, which John F. Kennedy had just introduced, would never get passed," said march planner Rachelle Horowitz.
Kennedy explained his concerns to the civil rights leaders in his office.
"We want success in the Congress, not just a big show at the Capitol," Kennedy is quoted as saying. "Some of these people are looking for an excuse to be against us, and I don't want to give any of them a chance to say, 'Yes I'm for the bill but I am damned if I will vote for it a the point of a gun.'
"The only effect is to create an atmosphere of intimidation - and this may give some members of Congress an out."
But the civil rights leaders would not be discouraged.
The March on Washington planning committee set up an office on 130th Street in Harlem in summer 1963 and began the arduous task of trying to contact, recruit and deliver thousands of people to attend the march.

tying class this past saturday
Saturday I took the beginner fly tying class at LRO. Got there at 9:05, let the cat in as always. what a great class. Walter and Brian are both top notch guys and excellent teachers. whip finish? no problem. Walter even showed me how to whip finish with just my fingers. yeah, I might have to practice that a little more. being in the class all day with such wise teachers, I learned a lot more about fly fishing than just how to tie a fly. Got to meet griff and buckeye for the first time, both great guys. buckeye has some serious photography equipment and took a few photos. maybe you could post a few if you get a chance. kevin, redc4man, even stopped by and showed off some of his new creations. Also was able to talk to byron for the first time and we had a good conversation. great day with great people, all fly fishermen (and women). I can't think of a better way to spend a saturday. except maybe actually fishing of course.
Re: tying class this past saturday
I agree Trevor, the tying instruction was top notch but was only about half of what was learned that day. Being able to tap into Walter and Brian's knowledge of fly fishing in the park was incredible. It was also great to finally meet you, buckeye, and redc4man and put some faces to the names.
All those who believe in Telekinesis, please raise my hand.
50.67% of all statistics are made up.
Re: tying class this past saturday
It truely was a great time and lots of learning going on in that classroom, and I agree that there was more than tying being learned (thanks Walter and Brian). I am trying to get off so I can sneak in to the Feb 17 intermediate class. It was a pure pleasure meeting Byron and talking to him between fly lessons. My company motto is "Wake up every morning and give every ounce of your God given talent to make a positive difference in someones day". Byron truely fits our motto in my eyes. *I had a great time talking with you guys and sharing ideas, I like getting other folks perspectives on most everything. Thanks Griff and Trev for making a Buckeye feel welcome as a temporary Volunteer. Walter and Brian, thanks for some great insturction and for the added advise and fishing insights......here are a few pics....enjoy...

I have a 10 week old baby that was born at 34 weeks. I was induced as he had some congenital issues that were picked up on the scans. He subsequently spent 6 weeks in the NICU during which I used machines to pump breast milk. Whilst in hospital I did try to establish breastfeeding but it was difficut due to his size and the operations he'd had made it hard to handle him easily. We decided to continue to express to allow us to come home, establishing breastfeeding was delaying this.
We've been home a few weeks now and I have continued to express milk via a hospital grade pump. He's fed breast milk on about 80% of his feeds. The trouble is I think I'll struggle to keep up the expressions and so have made some small attempts to try him on the breast in a hope that he can now breastfeed.
My question is... is it too last for him to establish breastfeeding? He's been fed via syringes, n.g. tubes, cups and bottles in the past as well as having a dummy as he didn't take oral feeds for some time in the hospital. I don't want to put myself through it if it's a non starter as I have been through a lot emotionally and want to start to enjoy him.
Thanks x

Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Place the pepper, courgette and red onion on a large non-stick baking tray and drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil. Season well and toss to combine. Roast in the oven for 20 mins until soft and beginning to brown. Set aside.
Heat the grill to medium. Season the flour well and, in a large bowl, mix with the remaining oil and 4-5 tbsp water to form a soft dough. Knead briefly, then roll out on a floured surface to a rough 20cm circle. Transfer the dough to a large ovenproof, nonstick frying pan and fry over a medium heat for 5 mins, until the underside begins to brown. Turn over and cook for a further 5 mins. Spread the tomato sauce over the base, scatter with the roasted veg, then sprinkle with cheddar. Grill the pizza for 3-4 mins until cheese has melted. Serve immediately, sliced into wedges, with a large green salad.
Make your own tomato sauce
For a simple homemade tomato sauce, soften 1 chopped onion in a little olive oil, then add a 400g can chopped tomatoes, 1 tsp sugar and some seasoning. Simmer until thickened.

Tasty, though I did as some reviewers suggested and used less flour and more oil and water than the recipe suggests. Also, I oven baked the base instead of frying it to save on washing up, then added the veg and oven baked to finish. Overall not a bad recipe, but in future I'll just buy pizza dough mix and do it that way.
Split the dough into two pizzas for a thinner crust and lower calories. If its too thick it tastes too doughy for me. As for the people suggesting a quarter is not enough - it is with sides, salad or wedges. Can also be divided into four for individual pizzas - used to do that at uni for fussy eating housemates
I cannoit see the point of oven roasting the vegetables, in oil, before cooking the pizza; surely if they had been friedionavery little oil the juices, and flavour, in the pan could then be transferred to the dough base. Also a yeast dough is always better than a scone dough, even if there is not along time for proving, is easily made while the veg are cooking, and is delicious when "fried" in apan
I had absolutely no problems with my dough, except I didn't manage to roll out a circle and therefore my base was a more abstract shape! However this didn't distract from the taste. I will definitely make this again and experiment with different toppings. I thought this was nicer and tasted better than a frozen veg pizza which often tend to be bland and watery. The only criticism I have is that there were way too many vegetables and even though I didn't put them all on I still thought there were too many. But even that's not really a criticism!! I would recommend everyone try this recipe :)
Will use this again and again. Just changed the topping to what I had in the kitchen. Used some roasted tomato puree that I had in the freezer from the summer, mixed with a bit of tomato puree. Then had onions mushrooms pepperoni and cheese on top. Will try with courgettes once they are back in season. If you have any dough left you can keep in the fridge for a couple of days. Went down well with all the family.
Definitely needed loads more water and oil to get the dough to stick together, so perhaps less flour is the way forward. I had too much veg on it as well, so maybe it needs to be rolled out thinner. Also used mozarella (half fat) instead of cheddar which needs a tad more time under the grill.
Not a bad recipe for a quick pizza fix but definitely some slight modifications needed to the original recipe I think. Will keep at it!
I adapted this by using gluten free plain flour and some baking powder to replace the self raising flour. Had to add an extra couple of tablespoons of water to get to the right consistancy and also finished it off in the hot oven for 5 minutes rather than grilling it.
All told though it turned out very good (only served the two of us but it ws filling). I have saved this page to my favourites :)
The whole thing was so easy to make and after the roasted vegetables I added chopped roast chicken which I had left over, added the cheese anda sprinkling of dried oregano. It was absolutely delicious. I did have to add more water to the flour tho', but once you have made it you can make changes to suit your own taste. Definitely on my 'make again' list.
We never normally eat pizza but after finding nothing to make for dinner I found this recipe. Very easy to make, I added chives to the dough and added spring onions to topping. Absolutely delicious ! When my family visit this is what they want so I make and bake several bases and freeze them. Saves a lot of time.

BioTreva Whateva – whateva, man…
Wonkiness is next to Godliness and Treva Whateva resides next to Wonkiness. So when you give it the time to percolate, Treva is Divine, and who would expect otherwise?
1979: Treva is born in a stable in Stockport (Bethlehem to Manchester's Jerusalem). Once the wise men have buggered off he has a relatively normal childhood except for the undiagnosed Attention Deficit Disorder, angelic visions and violent obsession with vinyl.
1993:Treva gets himself a job at the legendary Boom! Tunes, the first retail venture of a young Dave the Ruf, better known these days as the Jeep Beat Collective. His place in the pantheon of Northern hip hop is assured but the shop goes tits up. The Ruf takes his revenge by releasing "Westwood Is A Twat". Mr Whateva takes his by getting a proper job. Neither of them ever uprock again.
1997 sees Trev now employed at Fat City records (mis)managing the shop, deejaying Europe-wide, and helping to compile the first couple of Mystic Brew compilations. This year also sees Trev's vinyl-debut, with the exercise-hop classic "Tum and Waist" appearing on the fourth of DJ Morpheus' superb Freezone series. Masturbating over his Jane Fonda workout video while listening to it, Eric "Satan" Prydz hatches a plan for world dominance that will take seven years to reach fruition.
1998: Feet firmly behind the counter but ass on the dancefloor, Trev releases "Dangerous Disco" on London club Off-Centre's comp of the same name before handing over the shop reins mid-1999 as he signs up with big Brighton playas, Skint. The new manager of Fat City gets the reins tangled in the till and ends up disembowelling himself.
2000-2001: The fruits of Skint are are the well-received "Overdrawn & Overdue" and "Long Time Female Friend" EPs (on the Under 5's off-shoot) but, just as world domination seems inevitable, Treva gives an exclusive interview to the Brighton Evening Argus in which he reveals that Norman Cook is really Quentin Crisp and that the Skint crew are a bunch of softies who have lemon in their brew, fer fook's sake.
2002: Brighton gangsters and notorious illegal citrus fruit importers Tru Thoughts are given Treva's contract in exchange for not breaking the Skint crockery and immediately release the seminal "Singalong"/"Dedicated" 12. Ninja Tune, a CIA-funded palm tree exporting business, hear how well the record is doing and make Treva sign for them (it's not like they haven't done it before).
2004: Ninja allows Trev to release a record, the beauteous "Dance Class EP". Amnesty International begin campaigning for his immediate release.
2005: Treva wins the general election and releases his first album, the quirk-spiritual, hip flap masterpiece, "Music's Made of Memories" – listeners report seeing a bright white light at the end of a tunnel and feeling peaceful and beatific.
2006: Trev acscends to Heaven, hangs out with the Almighty and makes everyone in the world rich, rich, rich beyond their wildest imaginings.
Other stuff you should know if you're not to sound like you don't really know what you're talking about: -Mr Whateva has remixed Electrelane, Monkey Magic, Revolvo and Fingathing ('01,'02,'03,'03), plus golden-oldie "Last In Space" which features on Jacques Laverne records "Jack to Phono" compilation (2001) -Treva has written sleevenotes for Fat City's Mystic Brew and 45 Kings series in additon to penning articles for publications including City Life, Mixmag Up-Date (Seven) and Fatlace. -No stranger to radio appearances around the world, he also co-hosts the Hot Pot radio show. The public of the North West have been entertained by Trev and Mr. Scruff delivering the best in black music, top guests and cookery sound-bites for three years. You can even get it on the trains now.

Hi Andy,
When I gave you my mobile no. at the match last Sunday I got it off Dave's mobile. He told me last night that he has a new phone and he thinks he must have put an extra "5" on the end of my no. as he had
been unable to text me and he thinks he has done the same when he gave me it on Sunday. My no. ends in 85, NOT 855.
Bon voyage and hope to bump into you and the rest for a drink somewhere.
