Wordpress 2.3 Final

Wordpress 2.3 has finally released with many new features as what I have posted previously. I have upgraded one of my blog to 2.3. Some of my plugins that rely on category database such as Collapsible Categories & Dtree were all unusable. Wordpress 2.3 does change the structure of category database that breaks all plugin that relies on the old database created prior this new version. Hopefully all the plugin authors will update their plugins to compatible with this version of wordpress.

Whoever uses plugin that relies on database = “categories” & “post2cat” is better not to upgrade to version 2.3 until the plugin developer updates the code.

Gmail Spam Filter By-Pass

I have recently received a lot of spam mails that by-pass Gmail Spam Filter. The subject was something like “Appointment” ; “Re: Site Recommendation” ; “I have found the best prices” and etc. The message inside the mail is short without any links. One example :

We are offering an extended list and variety of your favorite M e d products!
With fast discreet trackable U-S.P-S shipping!
Remember to get more and save!
Stop by anytime; trafrx . com

I believe many of you may have a similar spam mail that bypass Gmail Filter System. The only way to stop this is to create a filter to include “U-S.P-S shipping”. Most of the spam mails I got contain this keyword.

In fact this type of spam not only bypass Gmail spam filter but also Mailwasher that I am using to filter POP3 accounts. I am trying to figure out a regular expression that I can use in Mailwasher.
