Yeah, I know the mail system impact is minimal ... it's just that if I see something banging on SMTP and getting refused, I kinda don't want it banging on anything else either. If fail2ban can run any script then yeah, I should be able to pretty easily have it connect to the firewall and send a 'shorewall drop 1.2.3.4'. I haven't ever installed fail2ban yet which is why I was asking if anyone had any tips to share. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958
