Bloody spammers again...

I'm currently receiving a shedload of mail bounces for email that I never actually sent. Some spammer somewhere is currently sending out email with the From: field set to one of my domains, and I'm getting all the crap from the non-existant addresses they they're trying to send to.

A quick Google check reveals that my domain isn't listed anywhere as a spammer (thankfully!) so it's not too bad, but it pisses me off that I have all these wonderful notifications to delete every morning. Grrrr.

Minor Lotto Site update...

I haven't been doing anything on the Lotto Site for a couple of weeks since I've been hella busy and even off in Scotchland for a while - I just didn't fancy lugging my laptop everywhere with me and trying to get things done using my mobile for dialup.

Tonight I updated the cron job that updates the website so that it ran from the correct location. Previously it had been running from another site since I'd got this part going before buying a domain, but it's now in the correct place. Sounds like a minor change, and it probably is, but it's an important one.

The other thing I did was plug in a php file that updated the ball statistics. Now, every time a new set of results comes out, the update routine not only inserts them into the database but updates all of the ball statistics as well. I'll leave this going for a week as before and keep an eye on it, but it should be OK. A few quick tests online seemed to work just fine.
