Been away from blogging for a while

Well it almost seems as though I have fallen off the blogging map. I can assure you however that this is not the case. I have been extremely busy with school and work (not to mention celebrating the Bush victory in the White House).
Today I also discovered a slight problem with our spam filter from GFI. It comes with this great new anti-spam technology called SPF (Sender Policy Framework) which blocks email that looks like it is from me (mycompany.com) yet really from someone else (someoneelse.com).
Here is the problem, if you have ever sent an email to a person at a company, let's say you@yourcompany.com, they are automatically put on the white list (so far so good). Now is where the problem starts. Someone@someoneelse.com sends a virus or spam email (or it could be a different person spoofing someone@someoneelse.com) and they pretend to be from mycompany.com, SPF does not catch it because it is already on the Whitelist.
Quite a bummer but there is not much you can do about it. I have called GFI about it and they are going to look into it, but it is not a bug, just a flaw in the way the system is processing the emails. What are you gonna do?
Gotta run, time for a meeting then lunch, till next time, keep your Windows CD nearby (just in case).
