Things NOT to do…

// January 24th, 2008 // Random Stuff

So, a few little things not to do…

Don’t have a sodding unix box which is going to be compromised and have a script on it which sends a mail out every second.

Then don’t NOT notice it for over 8 months.

Then don’t try to delete all the unsent mails from your badmail folder on the Windows server that the unix box was routing through.

Because that’s what we’ve found today - and the files in my badmail folder have been deleting for over 90 minuntes. At best guess we reckon that the folder must have 8 months worth of files in…

That’s 21,037,950 seconds and a file for each one. I could be deleting for quite some time.

I blame James and Greg - both of whom shall be promptly sacked.

    Screw you hippy,

    If you weren’t so bloody Linux-shy™ we might have actually set up the pissing thing properly for once.

    As it happens, it’s a good laugh, it’ll be even better if you end up having to re-install windows to rectify the problem.

    Big lolz
