Like a lot of other folks, I've not been able to get through to RulesEmporium for a while now.
Personally - I run RDJ by hand, once or twice a week (depending upon amount of spam getting through), and find that usually does the trick ... but not any more. Even this limited amount of activity is either triggering Anti-DDOS stuff (if its there), or is falling victim to DDOS in progress. Just wondering if the RulesEmporium admins had any kind of 'official' advice/workaround that they preferred we use until a more permanent DDOS solution was found? Thanks Si.
