So I’ve been dealing with quite a bit of spam recently, the usual “You’re due a tax rebate open XYZ.zip and fill out the form”, etc. Following from my last blog post, Postfix Force SMTP Authentication, I noticed I never set up my mail server to check received mail against the senders SPF records, which I always take the time to setup on domains

Today I collected some new goodies from @NovatechLtd Razer Taipan Mouse Razer Tiamat Analog Headset Asus Xonar D2X Soundcard Previously I had a Roccat Kova[+] costing around £65, it lasted nearly 2 years, which was excellent considering the amount of hours it had been used and it was still fully functioning, just the rubbery wax the mouse was covered in for grip was start to peel off
