Sorry for doing the 'tech-blog' thing so much lately; I know it doesn't really suit a lot of you, but of the things I've been busy with lately, it's the one most appropriate for the 'blog.

My server is now very twitchy. The attempt to give it spam filtering went quite well. The attempt to give it mail virus checking was long and drawn out, but seemed to work, after a fashion. Somewhere around the point at which I replaced the spam filtering (which had been killed by the anti-virus) it all went horribly wrong. Now the web server and the database server fall over without warning (as you may have noticed) with memory access faults that are a little beyond me.

Let's see if the people who rent it to me have any smart ideas.
