new service and new archive
by Christian Zimmermann 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

The RePEc Input Service (http://input.repec.org/) is now available for archives that cannot function because of restrictions on their servers. This service is only meant as a last resort, as we continue to encourage archives to be set up on their home servers. Consequently, we also have a new RePEc archive (#879) Template-Type: ReDIF-Archive 1.0 Handle: RePEc:ris Name: RePEc Input Service Maintainer-Email: christian.zimmermann(a)uconn.edu Description: This archive collects bibliographic data from journals and series that cannot set up their server to satisfy mirroring criteria for RePEc URL: ftp://repec.econ.uconn.edu/pub/RePEc/ris/ris/ Some existing archives are moving to this service, but there will be no change to their handles. Thanks to Sune Karlsson for providing the scripts running the RePEc Input Service. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

Re: [RePEc-announce] problems with mail to repec@repec.org

I imagine it does, because the only way Thomas and I could figure out how to resolve the inbound flood is to direct any mail for repec.org to a black hole. But as he noted, moving the repec.org MX target from my server to his caused hundreds of megabytes of logfile entries to appear in an hour. No machine is going to behave reliably with that kind of load. My server last weekend was at times 50% consumed by nslookupd, checking the reverse DNS addresses on all those junk messages.

problems with mail to repec@repec.org
by Kit Baum 09 Apr '08

Thomas and I have been trying to resolve these problems. We are essentially subjected to a denial-of-service attack in which hundreds of messages, at times, are being sent to somesillyname(a)repec.org per minute. On Thomas' suggestion this morning I changed the MX record from my server (which is virtual repec.org) to raneb.openlib.org, but that merely resulted in a flood of messages going to raneb. We are presently setting up an address repec(a)mail.repec.org which is now working properly (via snefru). We need to announce this via the blog and the RePEc homepage. I will also send a broadcast message to maintainers who have not yet set up their archives (as I do every month) notifying them of the new address.
