As a new user (postfix as well as postscreen) I monitor maillog to get a feel for how things work.

Today I noticed a site trying to AUTH from unknown (and I happen to know there is no possibly valid user at that address).

I decided to try out blacklisting:

   *postscreen_access.cidr:185.36.81.24 reject*

Postscreen at once acknowledged the blacklisting but does not (yet?) block:

Oct 31 12:45:00 hermes postfix/postscreen[7300]: CONNECT from [185.36.81.24]:58505 to [192.168.30.11]:25 Oct 31 12:45:00 hermes postfix/postscreen[7300]: *BLACKLISTED* [185.36.81.24]:58505 Oct 31 12:45:01 hermes postfix/postscreen[7300]: *PASS OLD *[185.36.81.24]:58505 Oct 31 12:45:01 hermes postfix/smtpd/smtpd[7304]: *connect from unknown*[185.36.81.24] Oct 31 12:45:01 hermes postfix/smtpd/smtpd[7304]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[185.36.81.24] Oct 31 12:45:01 hermes postfix/smtpd/smtpd[7304]: disconnect from unknown[185.36.81.24] ehlo=1 auth=0/1 commands=1/2

What am I missing?
