Earlier I needed to test incoming email on my server before moving a domain to it. I set up a virtual domain so that mail could be received by the server for a different domain. And I needed to make sure that it all worked properly. It has been a few years since I have faked email. Back when I was at Uni probably. So I did a quick search of the net and found a document that describes how to send fake mail. This was what I needed to know.

On using this I found that there were some problems with the setup which were quickly fixed. Now I just need to get the MX record changed over to point to this server. And then things should just work.

According to News.Com.Au, Rome has Banned round goldfish bowls as it causes fish to go blind. They have also banned fish as prizes in carnivals. Computerworld has a story noting that PriceWaterhouseCoopers are moving slowly to OpenBSD from Windows. This is a good read, and gives the suggestion that if things work out then you do not need to ask for permission beforehand.

Also comes news that Sydney Port is keeping six ships off shore since things are running so behind at the ports. I cannot wait for the next issue of Comp.Risks mailing list to read all about the fiasco.
