I'm getting hit with a lot of failed auth attempts.  I believe an 
account got hacked - and I'm seeing an huge amount of traffic trying to 
log in using it.  I've disabled the account - but of course they keep 
trying.

ASSP is blocking the failed attempts quite nicely - but my mail server 
(Postfix) logs are filling with a lot of empty connections:
Apr  4 18:10:28 bubba assp/smtpd[1589]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1]
Apr  4 18:10:29 bubba assp/smtpd[1589]: lost connection after EHLO from 
localhost[127.0.0.1]
Apr  4 18:10:29 bubba assp/smtpd[1589]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1]

As far as I know - this is normal, healthy, proper operation.  But I'd 
like more information.  My (limited) understanding of the XFORWARD (from 
http://www.postfix.org/XFORWARD_README.html) is that ASSP can pass the 
remote sending IP (and other information) to Postfix - which can then 
use that for processing or logging.

Does anyone else see value in this?
