			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a common situation these days.  Malicious code has been developed to allow spammers to distribute their junk mail a variety of ways.</p>
<p>In the old days, we&#8217;d tell people just to be careful about posting their email addresses on web sites or newsgroups. Today, all it takes is an infected machine on which your email address is saved in an address book!</p>
<p>In order to combat spam, it&#8217;s now important for all computer users to keep their machines secured using the latest security software and by making sure operating system updates are done. Sometimes even this is not enough, since modern coders can defeat most commercially available Internet Security applications.  Why can&#8217;t they use their powers for good instead of evil?</p>
<p>Be careful about designating email addresses or domains as trusted.  Many spam filters, including our own, allow users to whitelist specific email addresses or entire domains.  Imagine what could happen if you whitelisted the entire hotmail.com domain? That means anyone sending you a message with a return address from hotmail.com is going to get past the spam filter. Unfortunately, you can no longer whitelist your OWN email address! Spammers are sending junk mail to you with your own return address!</p>
<p>What&#8217;s a person to do? Make sure your security software is up to date.  If you haven&#8217;t installed anything, please call ConnectNC to have a tech perform a security scan on your system and install your software. If everyone maintained good system security, we&#8217;d go a long way towards eliminating spam that comes from infected machines.</p>
<p>Last, but not least, never, ever buy from a spammer. They&#8217;re not sending you junk mail for fun.  They&#8217;re doing it to make money. About ten years ago, one spammer told me that his employer made $30,000 in one day after they sent out unsolicited commercial email to a very large number of addresses. Their hosting and email accounts were cancelled, but it was well worth it to them. So, let&#8217;s try to make spamming an unprofitable venture.  We should all agree that we&#8217;ll never buy anything that was promoted in an unsolicited message we received.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you have some drive problems on your linux system and want to run fsck at boot time only to find that your system stays in eternal fsck-reboot mode?  When you try to remove the forcefsck file in single user mode, you discover that you can&#8217;t because the filesystem is in read-only mode?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what worked for us.</p>
<p>Interrupt the fsck and you&#8217;re in single user mode.</p>
<p>mount -o remount, -rw /dev/hda1 /</p>
<p>Now you can rm forcefsck</p>
<p>Replace hda1 in the line above with the appropriate device for your root filesystem.  It may /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda2</p>
<p>More details to follow.  I just wanted to blog about it before I forgot what we did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AOL has something they call an Email Feedback Report.  ISPs can register with AOL so they&#8217;ll be notified any time an email message is reported as spam.  Unfortunately for the sender, the entire contents of the message are left intact for the ISP to review. The Email Feedback Report protects the identity of the recipient, but not the sender.  Therefore, any message reported to AOL as spam (either rightly or wrongly) gets sent to the sender&#8217;s ISP.</p>
<p>What does this potentially mean?  It means that a sender&#8217;s love notes, racist or sexist jokes and personal and business information are revealed to the sender&#8217;s ISP if that message is reported as spam.</p>
<p>We try to inform our customers when a message has been returned to us by AOL. In MOST of the cases, the sender reports back that the recipient did NOT (either intentionally or accidentally) mark their message as spam.  Therefore, we&#8217;re making the assumption that there&#8217;s some flaw in AOL&#8217;s mail system that tags messages as spam in error.</p>
<p>Because we see several of these a week, my own personal policy is to never send anything I would want to have kept confidential to people with AOL email addresses.</p>
<p>I just wanted to pass this along so people will be aware and take steps to maintain their privacy.</p>
