I pushed a new design for Unadopted.co.uk live today. Took a while to get it to look right, but I quite like it. Much more up-to-date. The old look was about 5 years old!

I just read a daily email from Logwatch to find some very strange messages…

Okay, so let’s list the strange events here:

• A whole bunch of sequential IPs are connecting to my POP3 port (not necessarily in order, perhaps Logwatch is just picking them out that way)
• The remote machines are connecting, but not even attempting to authenticate (log in), they’re just disconnecting
• The IP range is apparently owned by Google

So… what’s going on here, exactly? Anyone able to shed some light onto this?
