I wanna merge my blogs, but I can't figure out how to import the exported posts.

Complicating matters, I can't remember how to get into the control panel for my blog either.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Ever since I set up my new domain I have been getting visitors that are actually wanting to visit Lemurgirl.mu.nu and grumbles.mu.nu to my domain of http://www.wheelingparanormal.com

Any way I can fix this?

Just kidding.

The spam gets through even when real comments don't.

I've restarted the process, but if you're under attack the problems may continue. Keep me posted.

Sigh. Someone has added both google.com and yahoo.com to the blacklist. I would delete them myself, but, unfortunately, my browser always locks up before even a thousand or so of the over 27k banned words, phrases and urls can load. Can anybody help? And can we maybe figure out who did it and give them some pointers?

Hi kids!

Since you've all been good lately, I'm doubling your allowance!

Nearly every month there are a couple of Munuvians who hit the bandwidth limit and see their sites temporarily go offline.

To explain: Each blog has a certain bandwidth allowance, and if you go over that, the server suspends your site automatically. This isn't a fixed limit, though, but rather a safety feature so that if someone, say, hotlinks an image from your site, they don't chew up all the bandwidth of the server and cost us hundreds of dollars in excess usage.

At our previous service provider, we got, I think, 1.5TB of bandwidth per month per server, and then it was 50 cents per GB after that. The servers cost around $150 each, so it worked out to about 10 cents per GB for the first 1.5TB, and then it suddenly got expensive.

At our current provider, we get 2TB per month for servers costing about $200. After that, it was 25 cents per GB - a lot better, but still more expensive than the packaged bandwidth.

This week they reduced their excess usage charges to 10 cents per GB, so now it works out the same as the pre-paid bandwidth, so there's no longer any big problem. Last October, a 1TB overrun would have cost $500; now it's just $100.

What this means is that I can go through and double everyone's bandwidth allowance.

There's a couple of hundred accounts to adjust, though, so it might take a couple of days. But since we're in a new month, no-one's likely to run out for a little while... I hope.

I've exceeded my "bandwidth" cept I'm a techtard and don't know what that means or what I need to do to fix it. (Pixy - I tried emailing you, but my emails keep bouncing back so that is why I'm putting this here.)

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm going through bloggy withdrawal. . .

Posted by: Teresa @ at May 31, 2007 03:24 PM

2 Oddy, the bandwidth allotment will roll over in another couple of hours anyway (end of month GMT) so even if Pixy can't get to it right away, you'll be back before long anyway!

4 Yep, we tend to get these towards the end of the month. I was about an hour too late for this one - the new month arrived before I could log in and adjust your bandwidth cap.

I've given you an extra 10GB for the new month, so it shouldn't happen again for a while.

Actually... There's something I can do about that now... Maybe later today.

I have a number of readers that have issues with the MuNu spam filter. Last night someone tried to post a comment that contained the word "geocities" in a hyperlink. Others have problems with mundane words.

What can be done about this?

TIA!

1 If there are particular words turning up in the spam filter that are causing annoyance - Paul or Pixy should be able to delete them from the Blacklist. Sadly they continue to be added because it's just too easy to do. I know I've done it without thinking about it because blacklist makes it too easy to add common words.

The other thing you can do is pray for the changeover to Minx... leading to the end of these blacklist problems.

Posted by: Teresa @ at May 31, 2007 10:19 PM

2 Indeed -- if weird words get blacklisted, post here, and someone will get them. I just removed geocities, so that's okay to use now. Any others?

As most of you know, last year I was diagnosed with lung cancer and have so far beat that bastard (16 months and counting) with no evidence of any tumors anywhere so far.

I decided to start an Anti-Cancer blog which you can find here: An Army of Bloggers which features a single post and a blogroll. (I used blogger because I understand Munuvia is closed to new blogs and I wanted it up quickly - I hope I'm forgiven) The purpose of the blog roll is simple, spread the word, and take on the responsibility of making an annual donation to the cancer research/treatment/support charity of your choice in any amount you choose. I'm hoping all of you will all join me in this effort. Greg at Rhymes With Right has already joined as his uncle is undergoing treatment even as I write this. The membership for the blog roll is simple, make a post on your blog announcing joining and who you support, go to An Army of Bloggers and make a comment giving the name (and address or URL) of your charity and putting the code for the blogroll on your blog's sidebar.

As I noted in the post, Cancer is no respecter of race, class, nationality, religion or anything else. It is a scourge that affects too many people, destroys too many families and it can be cured. I'm the living proof of that. Please consider joining An Army of Bloggers. You can get the blogroll code HERE (the script was written by Fred Witzell AKA Texas Fred.

Thanks

A drive has failed on the beta machine, and it's broken beta.mu.nu. I'm recovering everything I can from the failed drive - the databases and user files are safe, but I want to see if I can recover some config files. Then I'll be moving both beta.mu.nu and mee.nu to the production cluster.

Update: After a period of utter panic when I thought I'd lost the entire beta system including all recent backups - only about ten minutes, though I feel like it took ten years off my life - I have managed to recover everything. The system is running again on the good disk, with nothing lost except 2d6 SAN.

A couple of Munuvians have been panicked by what appears to be a hijacking of their Mu.nu email, most recently GM Roper in the previous post.

Because this has come up a couple of times (Mad Mikey had the same concern back in January) I've put together a post titled Do bounced spam messages in your domain email mean you've been hacked? explaining the problem and giving step-by-step instructions for how to fix it.

Essentially, what folks are seeing is the result of a significant flaw in the email protocol which allows anyone to send an email which pretends to be from somebody else.

So a spammer simply finds a live domain - yours, in this case - and makes up any number of fake addresses at that domain. He then sends massive numbers of spam messages with all those fake mu.nu addresses as the spoofed 'from:' address. When those messages go to undeliverable addresses, as most inevitably do, the bounce message comes back to you because the spammer made it look like you sent them originally, even though you didn't.

Check out the post for 'the rest of the story'.

I opened my horde mail box this PM (something which I haven't done for a while) and found over 2200 emails, the vast majority of which are from Mailer Daemon or similar programs returning an email that I didn't send. They have email senders addy like "mibgmroperneg@gmroper.com' and gmroper@akane.mu.nu etc. Has someone hijacked Horde? What can I do now or in the future?

Hi!

I just bought a new domain and I need to set it up. I know the biggest part is getting Munus nameservers. I believe they were ns.mu.nu and ns1.mu.nu but my memory is fuzzy. Second, I want this to point to a subdomain but I can't remember where that goes. Would it be done in the addon domain section of Cpanel?

Thanks,
Nick

I decided to check NickQueen.com's nameservers and I was right on the nameservers. I added them and then used the addon domain's in Cpanel. They worked fine but I noticed that grumbles.mu.nu is landing on my subdomain of wspr.nickqueen.com

What might I do to fix it?

I am a finalists in an online prize contest for a camera at WhoGets.com. The winner is determined by votes on who deserves to get it most. My reason is:

"This would be a great gift for my wife for our wedding anniversary on July 4th. Being a college student it is hard to keep the bills paid let along buy nice gifts. We have no camera now and have 2 nephews and a niece plus all sorts of family events that she would love to keep memories of."

So if you can find the time to stop by and help me out it would much appreciated. My id is nickq112 there.

By the way, while I've got yer eyeballs... there's no point in adding IP address to the Blacklist, as it's not able to parse them - it was never designed to handle numerical IP addresses. Those you can ban in your own admin. interface, though usually it doesn't do much good.

Posted by: Light & Dark @ at May 14, 2007 11:02 PM

2 When you're removing spam with the spam filter thingy, it automatically offers up all links found in the comment to be banned. Spammers deliberately seed the comment with things you don't want banned just to be annoying.

And thanks again, Paul.

3 I suspected they might have done that because I thought I saw part of my domanin name. But I was deleting very quickly (to stay ahead of the spammer) without reading what popped up in the box. I'll know better next time.

Well, someone has been adding words to the blacklist again, like "sex-toy" and "pornvideos" and that's just going to make commentors at Harvey's mad.... plus, it prevents the addition of URLS like "pornvideos.info"...

I would delete them myself, but I have never gotten the blacklist List to display past the "k"s before my browser locks up...

11 It is hard to imagine a world without the telephone. Our lives have grown to depend on computers linked into phone lines to do our shopping, our banking, or helping us through a typical day work. When you walk into your office, the first thing you do is to turn on the computer and pull up your electronic mail for the day. Of course, your electronic mail does not come in through the mailbox, bit comes in through telephone lines. The nice thing is you can turn them around by simply forwarding back without having to worry about addressing or stamping or enveloping the information to the person that sent you the message.
