4.2.1. Sysadmin Report<br>
<br>
We moved the VPS to current version of Debian. Rewrote the spam<br>
defences to reduce levels of spam coming through. Have resolved issues<br>
of the mailing list dropping email addresses. Have resolved issue of<br>
website going down.<br>
<br>
Did have issue with VPS killling us due to using 100% CPU time. Seems<br>
to have been due to not having a robots.txt, and a crawler spamming us.<br>
This has now been resolved by blocking the crawler.<br>
<br>
Motion: That the Sysadmin Report be accepted.<br>
Proposed: Russell Stuart<br>
Seconded: Greg Black<br>
Result: Passed unanimously. <br>

6.1. VPS Hosting<br>
<br>
Added by: Russell Stuart <br>
<br>
We have found an even cheaper Australian VPS hosting provider.<br>
Resources of this are quite good, and it provides us with an Australian<br>
IP address. We will be looking to move to this in due course.<br>
<br>
ACTION: Exec will discuss this, and Russell will act on this soon. <br>
