Hi --

We've been getting hit recently with a barrage of traffic from single IP addresses. They're either comment spammers, email harvesters, or possibly someone trying to hit us with a DOS attack.

When we can, we ban the IP via htaccess or have the host do it at the firewall level. However, a ...

I appreciate your help.

I have a 6+ year old site that I'm going to port to Serendipity... the potential problem is importing the old data because it's a hacked-together bunch of code that uses flat text files.
