    Hi,

    I’m running a WP installation on my VPS with 2 cores and 1gb of memory (linux)
    Should be enough for a site with 500-1000 visitors/day.

    It seems that some people don’t like my blogs about web development 🙁
    The last time I had several times problems with multiple requests like:

    81.88.49.17 - - [13/Jan/2011:13:42:40 +0100] "GET /archives/send-e-mail-messages-via-smtp-with-phpmailer-and-gmail/ HTTP/1.0" 200 10848 "-" "-"
81.88.49.25 - - [13/Jan/2011:13:42:40 +0100] "GET /archives/send-e-mail-messages-via-smtp-with-phpmailer-and-gmail/ HTTP/1.0" 200 10848 "-" "-"
81.88.49.34 - - [13/Jan/2011:13:42:40 +0100] "GET /archives/send-e-mail-messages-via-smtp-with-phpmailer-and-gmail/ HTTP/1.0" 200 10848 "-" "-"
81.88.49.33 - - [13/Jan/2011:13:42:38 +0100] "GET /archives/send-e-mail-messages-via-smtp-with-phpmailer-and-gmail/ HTTP/1.0" 200 38260 "-" "-"
81.88.49.20 - - [13/Jan/2011:13:42:39 +0100] "GET /archives/send-e-mail-messages-via-smtp-with-phpmailer-and-gmail/ HTTP/1.0" 200 38260 "-" "-"
81.88.49.24 - - [13/Jan/2011:13:42:44 +0100] "GET /archives/send-e-mail-messages-via-smtp-with-phpmailer-and-gmail/ HTTP/1.0" 200 8457 "-"

    I optmied apache and mysql, but it’s still not enough. Any advice how to block those attacks?
