UniXify or Die!
I am moving all my Unix (mostly FreeBSD and Solaris) development efforts to a new website: www.uniXified.net. The site is already up and running as my test platform. The server is running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE (obviously!) and TextPattern as CMS.
I am also hosting nightly snapshots of RoundCube webmail project on this new website, because RoundCube team is too lazy to release their software. 
Beat phishers with their own method
PhishFighthing.com is my new favorite toy.
Just like you, despite having many different spam and phishing mechanisms in place, I still receive some spam and phishing attemps on daily basis. The only thing I was doing so far was feeding them into my spam filter and removing them. But now, I have a better way to play with them.
PhishFighthing.com takes the URL of phisher and fills the login form with fake information and them submits the form every 20 seconds on behalf of you. This way you can fill up the phishers database with irrelevant information and make their tricks less effective.
They also have a very good introduction on finding the phisher URL in your email.
Since it automatically refreshes the page every 20 seconds, you can keep the page in a browser tab and leave it for as long as possible.
