Hi List,
Hi Sam,

I was wondering whether there is some way in Courier (using authlib, using authmysql) to catch the event of a multiple login failure, such as in the case of spambots trying to bruteforce an account, to temporarily ban the IP?

Just had a look at the docs but couldn't find anything...
is there any way to implement it?

Just have to have something parsing mail logs, which will record the client's IP address, and a very distinctive error message.

But, I don't believe that spambots are really that much of an issue here. The built-in error delay makes spambots give up rather quickly.
