Scripts and Spam and Web Site Income

By on March 25th, 2008 in Just Saying ...

Been working on a vbscript program that checks the update and anti-virus status of a group of computers, storing that info in a nice html file. Almost finished; testing takes about 10 minutes, since it talks to a whole ‘Class C’ IP address range.

And monitoring the anti-spam mail system. There’s a bit more spam that has slipped through our defenses, and it’s difficult to stop those. We’ve been pretty successful in spam filtering in the past.

Our users might be a bit spoiled, though. I get complaints if just a few (under 10) spams slip through each day.We’re blocking 94% of all messages (about 600K a day) as spam. That’s up a bit from the 90% a month ago. Still pretty impressive, though.

And still working on my latest secret money-making web site. Using some free (GPL) software, but there seems to be minimal support of one of the modules I need to use. I may have to delve deeper in the PHP code to fix things.
