More spam again?

Right now I am asking myself if it just affects me or if more spam is sent out and less is detected by anti-spam software again.

I set up my mail server in February and noticed a decrease in spam mail delivered to my mailbox compared to my old system. However, in the past two weeks more and more spam mail has been delivered to my mailbox again. So is it just me, my system or the system’s configuration or is everyone else receiving more spam again?

Anyways, it’s about time to inspect the configuration of my mail system again…

Python IDEs tested

Well, I decided it was time to give a few IDEs a try. There were only two requirements I had: the IDE has to be Free Software and it has to run on GNU/Linux.

If you are planning to read on please be aware that this was no real test, but rather contains my observations regarding the IDEs I have tested, what I liked and did not like and if one surprised me enough to actually use it instead of my good old plain GNU Emacs.
