FrankysWeb has been around for almost 6 years now and unfortunately the ballast has continued to accumulate. As it is with "old installations", sometimes something is changed here, sometimes something is added there, over the years a lot of junk comes together.

Here is another small script from the Quick and Dirty series. The script was actually created to monitor an AntiSPAM gateway, which was often overloaded and no longer processed any mails. Unfortunately, "text-only" mails without hyperlinks or other content turned out not to be very meaningful, because they were practically always ... Read more

I have just updated the Exchange Reporter download package. I have received a few emails reporting problems with Exchange version detection. I have not been able to reproduce the problem so far and have therefore decided to simply create an optional parameter that allows the Exchange Server version to be specified manually: ... Read more
