  • Stop forwarding that crap to me

  • https is win for spam

    Well, here are some stats for a longer period of time since moving to HTTPS. So moving to HTTPS lowered the average from ~1000ish to ~200 spam comments per month (I implemented HTTPS near the end of 2011-02). And yay, for Akismet’s graphs being back. For some reason they’d been broken for ages on this…

  • How to get rid of spambots on WP?

    Simple, start using SSL. Not entirely sure why this keeps spambots away, but a drop from ~100 spam comments/day (1/2) to at most 4 seems pretty cool. Edit: seems like they just do a POST request to an old URL (http://blog.tuinslak.org/some-post), which results in this reply: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: nginx/0.9.4 Date: Tue, 22…

  • Gmail spam “mark-as-read”

    Google changed their Mailbox names (from Google Mail, to Gmail) so here is the update from my previous php script I made a few years ago.

  • Imap/Gmail mark as read

    I’ve “updated” my previous php-app. Since today I ended up getting this error: Warning: imap_open(): Couldn’t open stream {imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}[Google Mail]/Spam in /home/yeri/.gmail.php on line 30 Certificate failure for imap.gmail.com: unable to get local issuer certificate: /C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=imap.gmail.com – Connection failed. Simply searching this line: $open = imap_open (“{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/}$path” And editing it to: $open =…

  • Gmail automatic “mark (spam) as read”

    I hate having unread mail. I hate having spam. And most of all, I hate spam that asks for attention. When receiving spam in Gmail, you get the annoying bold Spam (12353434) with ‘12353434’ being the number of unread spam messages. With the introduction of Gmail Labs I’d hope to see an “automaticly mark spam…
