I also have a personal server and I can see both. There is a lot of
snowshoe, but there are also IPs that constantly hammer my submission/smtps
ports for long time, trying subsequent login/passwords combinations (usually
for usernames that never existed on my server :), I only rarely see them
trying an actually existing username). What's interesting, I don't see the
latter behavior with ssh attempts - this is actually almost 100% snowshoe -
but with submissions/smtps, yes, the "hammering" happens all the time.

After I see this behavior in the logs, I usually ban those IPs in iptables
permanently.

Of course there was a lot more of this "hammering" when some time ago I had
mistakenly AUTH turned on on port 25, so it looks like the bots that try to
crack email passwords are mostly targeting this port.
