Looks like hotmail servers have finally been removed from the spamcop list. All is well now, carry on people.

Just to follow up. hotmail is still blocked. I contacted mdd support and was advised it's out of their control and that my clients should use a better email service............... :/

Recently it has come to my attention people sending email from hotmail addresses get a bounce back message when trying to send email to my domain. I haven't changed any settings on the spam filter and previously this has never been a problem.... So my question is, has something been changed, or has what ever spam list the filter uses for some reason flagged hotmail as spam due to abuse maybe? Either way, I couldn't find a way to totally disable spam assassin and have reluctantly adjusted the filter rate from the default 5.0 to 10.0. *edit* the problem still exists as the hotmail server has been flagged on http://www.spamcop.net Not happy, gosh knows how many client emails I have potentially missed because of this. *update* I've added the hotmail mail ip addresses to the whitelist of spam assassin and this works, is there not a better way to get around this issue?

Totally agree. While we're on the topic I might add a little piece of code I use on include files which shouldn't be directly accessed, it may help some people. //Stop direct accessif(count(get_included_files()) ==1) exit("Direct access not permitted."); This will prevent the script from executing if accessed directly, but will still function as an include.

Was looking through my server logs the other day and there is many bots trying to find vulnerabilities in my site, mainly via wordpress wp-admin. Here's a snippet of the log 217.12.219.32 /dump.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 1172 217.12.219.32 /dump.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 32846 217.12.219.32 /Dump.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 1172 217.12.219.32 /Dump.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 32846 217.12.219.32 /fknbored.com.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 1172 217.12.219.32 /fknbored.com.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 32846 217.12.219.32 /fknbored.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 1172 217.12.219.32 /fknbored.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 32846 217.12.219.32 /backup.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 1172 217.12.219.32 /backup.sql 5/7/14 8:43 PM 32846 217.12.219.32 /wp-config.php~ 5/7/14 8:43 PM 1172 217.12.219.32 /wp-config.php~ 5/7/14 8:43 PM 32846 217.12.219.32 /configuration.php~ 5/7/14 8:43 PM 1172 217.12.219.32 /configuration.php~ 5/7/14 8:43 PM 32846 217.12.219.32 /wp-config.php.bak 5/7/14 8:43 PM 1172 217.12.219.32 /wp-config.php.bak 5/7/14 8:43 PM 32846 217.12.219.32 /wp-config.bak.php 5/7/14 8:43 PM 1172 217.12.219.32 /wp-config.bak.php 5/7/14 8:43 PM 32846 I myself don't actually use wordpress and will add a htaccess rule for wp-admin.. Just thought I'd share and give people a heads up, don't leave old config or database files on your server, and change your admin and config files to something less obvious than "admin" or "config". These a just a few tips everyone should be following, there are many others I won't go into.

Let me start by saying, finally.... I've found a good, reliable shared hosting provider! Secondly, my names Andrew and I've developed a meeting site in PHP. I'd love to hear your thoughts or suggestions, the address is http://www.yizle.com Once again, thanks MDD so far your services seem top notch. - Andrew.
