Fritz, 

I'm not quite sure how to troubleshoot this then. This is an example of
a connection from a bot trying to harvest valid logins: 
Jan-20-14 17:48:39 85.214.85.40 disconnected (2 seconds); 
Jan-20-14 17:48:39 85.214.85.40 warning: SMTP authentication failed; 
Jan-20-14 17:48:39 85.214.85.40 info: authentication (LOGIN) realms -
user:besadmin; 
Jan-20-14 17:48:38 85.214.85.40 info: authentication - login is used;

Clicking on the IP gives me:

RESULTS FOR ACTION

-------------------------

GENERAL IP-MATCHES FOR 85.214.85.40 :

 matches in DENYSMTPCONNECTIONSFROMALWAYS with 85.214.85.40/32

_(DoDenySMTPstrict)_ is set to Block. 

Any ideas? 

Still troubleshooting this. I have spam lovers that get spam protection
and I have denied IP's that are allowed to try to authenticate:

Jan-30-14 14:45:25 200.93.84.77 disconnected (3 seconds); 
Jan-30-14 14:45:24 200.93.84.77 warning: SMTP authentication failed; 
Jan-30-14 14:45:24 [DenyIPStrict] 200.93.84.77 info: authentication
(PLAIN) realms - foruser:, user:a...@xxxxxxxxx.com; 

Jan-30-14 14:45:24 [DenyIPStrict] 200.93.84.77 info: authentication -
plain is used;

I am on the latest ASSP now and haven't noticed an improvement here.
It's not in a test mode because it is definitely doing spam protection
but it is ignoring a number of configuration items even when it sees
that.
