This post is from one of several previous incarnations of this site and probably doesn’t quite fit the current format. In a former life this was a group blog and a tumblelog before it became a static jekyll site. If anything looks broken or is worded oddly that could be why. Pardon the dust.
Unbelievable, I don’t know if any of you have been following the story of MacSlash losing their domain name, but it seems it’s all been down to an iTools email account. Supposedly anyone with a mac.com account has their email pre-filtered, without their knowledge, for spam. Someone in their greater wisdom at Apple has decided to add domain name registration company Dotster to the list of blocked spammers, and thus MacSlash never got their renewal notices and have had their .com domain hijacked by a Spanish guy called Vicente Peiro Crespo. I haven’t read the fine print on Apple’s iTools conditions but it seems pretty amazing to me that they not you choose what and what isn’t spam on your own mail account.
