Sorry for replying to the lists' digest. I took over management of swissjabber.org and I noticed a huge amount of concurrent connections just the other day. In one case there were more than 2000 connections open from the same source. I'm kind of glad that the spammers are rather obvious to find and I've since blocked the IPs by the firewall and looked for others. Up to now I have 8 IPs banned by the firewall; all of these originate from limestonenetworks. I've sent them an abuse message yesterday but have not heard back. If you're interested, here's the list of the IPs I banned: 208.115.229.162 208.115.210.114 69.162.85.98 69.162.69.74 69.162.121.154 69.162.122.34 69.162.96.178 74.63.201.2 The last one appeared between yesterday and today. I suggest you don't accept any connections from these IPs atm. -- Freundliche Grüsse / kind regards Rene Gallati Nine Internet Solutions AG, Albisriederstr. 243a, CH-8047 Zuerich Support +41 44 637 40 40 | Tel +41 44 637 40 00 | Skype: nine.ch_support
