The evil geniuses that run the server on which mouser.org lives have declared that having our MTA and associated spam filter software eat up the vast majority of our processor time is inappropriate. They have therefore decreed that thou shalt let Google deal with all that crap. Today I transferred all MTA activities from mouser.org to Google, and through the magic of MX records, the whole thing is invisible to you. You can still mail me at <anything>@mouser.org, and my mail will still come from mouser@mouser.org, fear not.

The big change here is that I'll have to stop using pine as my mail client and instead use Google's webmail incarnation (which is way better, by the way). Should have done this ages ago... I'm just weird that way.

Rumor has it that the very same evil geniuses are working on a fix for the lack of comments here on this journal. You may have noticed that I shut them off awhile back. At that time, it was MovableType's comment spam filter that was the primary processor hog on the box. A replacement has been beta-tested and is said to be "good." Start thinking up some inconceivably witty comments to post here when I enable it.

And to all the people who profit off spam at the expense of the entire world, eat my ass.
