As I already complained, spammers seem to like my phone database. It has not been a major problem so far, but I started to get about ten invalid records per day.
This forced be to find automatic solution to get rid of this. Inspired by recent article on root.cz, I wrote simmilar solution as is used on php.vrana.cz. It should not harm regullar users who have javascript enabled, others will have to fill in one extra field.
Wammu 0.16 is of course available in my debian repository and on next dinstall run is should be in official repositories. Thanks to fEnIo for quick upload!
Wammu 0.16 has been just released. New features:
At same time as python-gammu has been releases, I also made available packages for new gammu and python-gammu releases in my private repository. The gammu differs a bit from official version as I found ugly bug in AT driver just after the release.
Official debian packages will be available as soon as my sponsor uploads them.

After my mailserver started to reject mails from servers where I want to accept mails, I decided to finally try to disable DNS blacklisting. Earlier I whitelisted some domains, but the list has grown too much.
I still use DNS blacklists as helping criterias for SpamAssasin, but being on blacklist is now not enough to reject legitimate mail. Let's see if spam amount in my mailbox will increase, but I doubt it will, other checks are also quite restrictive.
During regullar review of additions to phone database, I noticed that some people tried to add spam and links to their sites. I'm not going to add any further restrictions on database, but to make spammers life a bit harder, I added logging of IP addresses which I'm going to block if they attempt to add some links.
Fortuntely spam volume is htere low enogh to be still handled manualy.
I started to collect developer information on wiki. Please add there any hints that might be useful for people who are interested in contributing to phpMyAdmin.
While working with documentation, I used phpDocumentator to generate our API documentation, you can see it on my website.
As announced on friday, I addopted nanoblogger and prepared new upload of it. Until my new sponsor reviews and uploads it, you can find it either on mentors or in my private repository.
What the hell am I doing wrong that I can not send mail to any @debian.org address?
SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:
host master.debian.org [70.103.162.30]: 550 Administrative prohibition
None of SMTP servers I used is blacklisted and I haven't seen problem
with any other recipient than master.debian.org. Anyway it would be
great if I would know what this Administrative prohibition means.
After googling I found out that it might be something bad in my headers,
but nothing what would tell me how to fix it...
