We are very close to a new OpenBSD release. "You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks." https://nxdomain.no/~peter/openbsd_installed_now_for_the_daily_tasks.html can help you prepare for the upgrade.
If you are using exim as your MTA (or any other non-base system MTA), "OpenSMTPD Is The Mail Server For The Future" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/time_for_opensmtpd.html contains useful pointers for a better mail future.

- Profiles contain a single English sentence + emoji, or several meaningless English phrases
- All connection IPs belong to Cloudflare proxy ranges
- Registrant domains include disposable email services and high-risk domains
Actions Taken:

It’s The Shit!
Deso pour le blague, c’est l’appli qui redonne l’espoir face a déluge des aides à installation des panneaux solaires. Et quand il y a une apelle qui passe il y a le plaisir de l’ajouter à la liste commune. C’est ça aussi le fraternité. Pour l’anecdote, les combis compatible à box orange possède une blacklist de 30 places, et il faut retaper le numéro à la main après avoir trouvé l’option dans les menus.
N’oubliez pas à soutenir le projet. #antispam -
You're welcome. 😁

This is already in place on https://www.qweb.co.uk for testing, and will be rolled out to at least the bigger sites we host imminently.
You can't even tell it's in there, can you? 😏
This was the final jigsaw piece in a whole suite of mechanics I've built to secure our servers from aggressive scrapers. Enormous blog post on it all is incoming. 👍

Антиспам бот для телеграм группы на Gigachat2
11 марта решил сделать антиспам бота в одну из моих групп в телеграм. что за группа? 1. группа открытая, активность небольшая 2. каждый день подключаются новые "участники" и отправляют непрошенные рекламные сообщения 3. новые "участники" умеют проходить капчу плюс еще было желание меньше уделять времени админской кухне:

Welcome new imaginary friends [email protected] and [email protected] to the cast of millions at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/traplist.shtml (served up to us today by [email protected] and [email protected], respectively).
My favorite new imaginary friend (aka spamtrap) today was however [email protected], a faked sender address.

The other horribly nonsensical thing I saw during the last 24 hours was the error messages GNU Emacs emits when it is faced with a file of a size that exceeds its expected per-buffer memory allocation.
Fortunately a sane solution was found for that particular problem (split that big hand generated log into smaller pieces) - search for "this log directory" in https://nxdomain.no/~peter/traplist.shtml #spamtraps #greyptrapping #spamd #antispam #cybercrime #imaginaryfriends

For some reason I just looked up my now just over 2 year old piece "The Things Spammers Believe - A Tale of 300,000 Imaginary Friends" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/spammers_believe_in_300k_imaginary_friends.html (prettified, tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-things-spammers-believe-tale-of.html) and realized that number will soon roll past the next big round marker. #spamtraps #traplist #spam #antispam #openbsd #pf #spamd #cybercrime #bottomfeeders #imaginaryfriends

Following up on previous, the LinkedIn discussion revealed that there are people who have not heard about greylisting.
