Over the years, members have posed the question "Do we still need this dinosaur-era list-serve?" It looks like the answer is, emphatically, YES!

Whether it is an organised denial of service attack or just AI bots with an unhealthy interest in bulbs I do not know. There are common suggestions, like Apache mod_evasive but they don't appear to work with the particular form of attack. I expect we will try to think of a solution. Suggestions? -- David Pilling http://www.davidpilling.com/ _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
