Hello,

When I check my maillog, I see a lot of valid users who is trying to violate
the recipient rate limit that we set.

tail -f /var/log/maillog/ |grep anvil

gives me

Aug 22 10:29:57 postfix/anvil[22729]: statistics: max recipient rate 103/60s
for (smtp:87.122.82.13) at Aug 22 10:26:28

So I wanted to ban that IP completely from contacting our smtp. And I would
expect that person to contact me if he finds out that he cannot send emails.

Can I do that in Amavis or Postifx? Or is that something that I have to do
in linux? I tried to put /etc/hosts.deny the IP. But I don't think it works
and I frankly don't know how to use that /etc/hosts.deny.

Can someone please help me out?

Thank you,

Justin
