The Apache restriction is far more efficient when hundreds of hosts sent you spams in few minutes. #### Multisite – WordPress MU #### Localization * Afrikaans (South Africa) translation provided by SedLex, JanvanNiekerk * English (United States), default language * Japanese (Japan) translation provided by OsamuKudo #### Features of the framework This plugin uses the SL framework.
