On a shared server, it is showing User unknown attempts for some 15 to 30 domains in thousands like 5000 to 1 from various IP source, which seems be using resources unnecessarily. Is there a way to configure assp to discard such attempts from any ips (if possible for 24 hours), if it

No sense in bogging down ASSP any more than need be, especially on a busy server. Sounds like Fritz doesn't agree; up to him, by the way, and really no problem with that; yet I think that, if *properly* set up, ASSP is perfectly able to deal with such an issue w/o having to recur to stuff
