I have a fake auth on port 25. Local users sending mail do real auth on
port 465 or 587.
I get plenty of bot auth traffic on port 25.

But why bother about auth attempts on port 25 if we can just turn off auth on
that port?

I advertise AUTH on port 25 on my MTAs for the bots. My users, who are not
idiots, send their
mail on port 587 on a different host.
Just curious: If you care about bots, who often try AUTH without it being
annoucned, wouldn't it be safer not to announce AUTH?
