Jyväskylän yliopiston sähköpostia tuhoutui
Onnettomien yhteensattumien seurauksena saapuvia sähköposteja on tuhoutunut. Usean [yhtäaikaisen] laiterikon ja spämmihyökkäyksen aiheuttaman ylikuormituksen seuraksena postinvälitysjärjestelmässä pääsi syntymään vakava häiriötilanne, jonka seuraksena joitakin yliopiston ulkopuolelta tulossa olevia viestejä tuhoutui – joko katosi kokonaan tai korruptoitui […] Tuhoutuneiden viestien määrästä ei ole tarkkaa tietoa, mutta ongelmat alkoivat perjantai-iltana noin 16:30 ja pahin tuho tapahtui maanantaina.

RefControl (for Firefox): Control HTTP Referer on a per-site basis
Control what gets sent as the HTTP Referer on a per-site basis. You create a list of sites, and the referrer that should be sent for each site. You can choose to send that referrer unconditionally or only for third-party requests.
I use it to get rid of goatse pictures thrown in my face when clicking on links pointing to certain sites from 3rd party link lists.
