Quick tip – if you want to start MS Outlook (or in fact any office program) in safe mode – hold down the ctrl key when clicking on the icon to start it:

Useful if debugging problems with programs starting.

Although I think the fight against spam is a valid one (and never ending), I really think UCEProtect have taken it a step too far.
Their premise is that if your server is on a subnet which has other spam sending servers on it then you should be blocked too?
What?!?
I’ve just had a perfectly good server blocked because someone else with an IP address close to mine sent some spam. Ridiculous!
What makes it even worse – is that they want to charge 150 Euros to delist – what a scam!
So in the end, I’ve had to move mail to a different IP address which isn’t getting blocked.

The last post reminded me..
Try and run telnet on vista and you’ll be greeted with a “command not found”
It’s easiyresolved – can be added using programs and features (yup – premove programs with a different name).
But why has it been removed? I can’t see it as a security flaw? A telnet “server” – yes, but a telnet client??
At least it’s still in there somewhere….
