Subject: Android openness withering as Google withholds Honeycomb code

During a keynote presentation at Google's IO developer conference last year, Google VP of engineering Vic Gundotra proclaimed that the search giant created Android in order to bring freedom to the masses and avoid a "draconian future" in which one company controlled the mobile industry. Looking past the self-congratulatory rhetoric, Android's poor track record on openness is becoming harder to ignore.

Subject: How to reject spam from certain countries?

Every now and then, a question like this pops up on some email server management forum:"I’d like to be able to reject connections from remote IP addresses if they’re from certain countries." I have reformatted some tips on how to do this on this page. Feedback is very welcome.
