Re: IP drop list

[Hardy Flor]

fail2ban blocked dynamically addresses for a period of time. It has a 
module for dovecot.

I wonder if there is an easy way to provide dovecot a flat text file 
of ipv4 #'s which should be ignored or dropped?

I have accumulated 45,000+ IPs which routinely try dictionary and 
12345678 password attempts. The file is too big to create firewall 
drops, and I don't want to compile with wrappers *if* dovecot has an 
easy ability to do this. If dovecot could parse a flat text file of 
IPs and drop connections it would sure put a dent in these attempts.
