Would be nice if it scales to fill the screen but it is easy enough to zoom

@jwildeboer I kind of retired from running mail servers. I mostly ran servers for orgs with between 50 and 200 users. False positives were always worse than false negatives. I tended to not block tlds or countries because some user always wanted mail from them.
I used postfix’s postscreen weighted RBLs feature to block spam. With a bit of tuning and the right selection of lists I managed to get rid of most spam. At some places I also ran spamassassin via mimedefang.

This video of a lion in the snow was not on my 2024 bingo card.
We had some bad weather this past weekend in South Africa.
It’s supposed to be spring.

Only in South Africa!
Spar is a major supermarket chain in South Africa, Stilbaai is a small town.
Bunny chow is a fast food dish consisting of a hollowed-out loaf of white bread filled with curry.
Holontplof loosely translated means “Arse Explosion”
I doubt if anywhere else in the world a supermarket would sell fast food described “Arse Explosion”

South Africa is having European winter conditions in spring at the moment.
The situation is not helped by it being a 4 day weekend for many. 24 September is a public holiday.
Many people are stuck on the roads on the way to the coast. This is becoming a real emergency.
This is a photo taken on Van Reenens Pass about halfway between Johannesburg and Durban. We are not geared for this.
