Post subject:  LDDb server going up and down...

Hello,

Been having outages recently (past 48h) on the main server due to botnet servers launching dozens of SMTP passwords probes in a few seconds.

That used to be okay but now the user email database back-end is MySQL (no more a text file) and when I max out my number of connections, the web server can't connect anymore and everything crawls to a stop.

I added new rules to block obvious brute force attempts after one try and be more forgiving for people honestly trying to connect on their @lddb.com account.

We'll see if the new rules do a better job.

Regards,
Julien

That coincides exactly with when I started to experience problems logging into LDDB.com.
I was having no other issues with the internet or other sites in general.
