My current "nightmare" is that I have received 1.5 <strong>M</strong>illion 404 errors from spammers from February to March . Back in Feb or Jan they managed to send 60,000 spam trackbacks into my blogging system. Since I wanted to keep the feature, I rewrote the blog system so the page that handles trackback has a different URL now. Apparently, the spammers haven't bothered to take note of that. Fortunately, my 404 page is a static file, and my server ought to be able to serve around 5,000 static files per second. That’s good to save server resources like that.
