Timing is good on this. :)

Have at it. I've added a link to this page under the Configuration->
Security section. It's a start (albeit not much of one).

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.

+1000 on this solution.
It works for me. I also have a honeypot that these ips get thrown into
and trapped after so many attempts.
Stupid Hackers LOL:)

Yes, but the attacks appear to be coming from a variety of addresses.
fail2ban will do essentially this automatically and for whatever
addresses attacks may come from. fail2ban is much better solution imo.
