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

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.

RePEc in March 2008
by Christian Zimmermann 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hello, March is typically a month where all traffic records are beaten on RePEc. Well not this month, but we were close: 694,988 file downloads (less than 3,000 short of the record) and 2,675,511 abstract views (record). The fact that Easter fell in March this year probably has something to do with this. We can thus look forward to a glorious month of April! But we should not be too disappointed, as there is now a RePEc application on Facebook. Look for a big blue letter “R” in the applications menu of your Facebook account. An uncharacteristically low number of new RePEc archives opened last month, four: Princeton University Press, the Department of Economics at University of Auckland, the Department of University of Malaga, and the Institute of Local Public Finance, Germany. As for the thresholds passed during the last month, we have: 6,000,000 cumulated downloads through EconPapers 3,000,000 references extracted 1,250,000 citations found 175,000 online working papers 140,000 items with references 100,000 cited articles 2,000 listed book chapters Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
