Apparently sometime yesterday the sa/av system that frontends the classiccmp
server was hit by a DDOS attack. The server did an admirable job for a
while, but finally spiraled downward. I am still working on it and trying to
implement a solution.
Someone apparently isn't happy with bitsavers.org, as the DDOS attack is
simply a dictionary generated email address in the bitsavers.org domain.
It's coming from everywhere, so I can't just lock out certain servers.
I'll get it stopped, things will be rocky for a bit, but it will be resolved
soon.
