It's funny that I should check back in. I just installed fail2ban to deal with 
another issue, however realized it could stop a lot of RBL traffic if I just 
banned IP addresses so also added it for qmail. If someone gets a wiki started, 
I'd certainly look at contributing. (hence my previous post on logging pop3 
failures!)

David,

Thanks, David.

BTW, can you find a few moments to get a wiki page for fail2ban started?
Even if it's just a rough outline along with your configuration, that would be 
helpful. I'm sure others can add more details once something's there to work 
with.

TIA.

Thanks, David.
