My site is being attacked by spambots so badly that DreamHost had to disable my account. It looks like your plug in stopping the attack. There have been approximately 20,000 attempts on my site all from China. Is there anything else that I can do to block this attack?

How can I make sure that my website does not become unstable and does not cause problems for my web host.

Additionally you can blacklist China in your Personal Lists for your Anti-Spam and Security Licences here:

Same could be done to IPs and e-mails you want to block permanently.

Thank you.
