tracker.ceph.com spam

Hi all,

Yesterday, tracker.ceph.com was the target of a spam attack.  The
Redmine REST API was used to create bogus accounts which went on to
create over a thousand bogus Redmine issues.  The API was disabled
yesterday morning to stop the attack.

I've put some measures in place this morning to rate limit account
creations and prevent issues from getting created via the API entirely.
The API was re-enabled around 13:30 UTC today.

A remaining side effect of the attack is the VM which Redmine is hosted
on has been blocked from sending outgoing e-mails.  All outgoing e-mail
has been deferred since yesterday at 11:41 UTC.

I've opened a ticket with OVH to resolve.

Thanks for your patience,
