An update on my massive webserver-status post below: The daily random email alias generator is running again, for those of us who made use of it. (Oddly enough, that generator is the last remnant of code from Monaural Jerk to be used anywhere on our server.) Also, I found the problem with emailed comments showing up with empty “From” addresses. Turns out that it’s a problem related to the installation of Spam Karma 2, and I’ve tweaked the code in that plugin accordingly. (It tries, apparently, to make the “From” address something like “wordpress at domain” but it wasn’t working. I simply changed the parts of the code that created the “Reply-To” header and turned them into “From”.) Now any email spam filters (such as SpamAssassin) won’t be scoring “down” comment notifications because of a missing rather-important email header.

Not bad for an hour’s work, eh? Speaking of work… I need to go continue looking for that.
