After fixing a problem with berserko mail on Sunday (the ORDB.org spam blacklist started blocking everything), I found this little news nugget:
3/26/08 Update: ORDB has “listed the entire world” – returning any query with a “listed” response. The result is that if you still have ORDB in your mail server config files, you’re now blocking 100% of your inbound mail. For anyone still trying to “use” ORDB, you’re not going to receive any inbound mail until you disable queries to it.

The web site is back (well sorta)! There’s still plenty of work to be done, but the basic framework of the site is up and running as well as the image gallery. I ported all the photos from the old image gallery into the new one. Hopefully this new site will be much more impervious to attack than the old. Unfortunately, because the old site is a security risk, I cannot leave it up in archival form. I’m still trying to figure out a way to import all the old stuff into the new site, but for now at least we’re back up and running.
