Correct me if I'm wrong, but one issue with using RBL data in iptables is that you can't get an indication of rejections right?

With my RBL, I send an error message to any remote system they've been blocked, with instructions on how to petition to be whitelisted.

With f2b, you don't get any indication anything's been blocked, right? This is one reason why I like tcpwrappers. I can look at my logs and see a particular IP was banned at a time when, say, I'm expecting a remote system to send me an e-mail or something.

Is there a way to log iptable rejections without using too much resources?

I use fqrdns https://github.com/stevejenkins/hardwarefreak.com-fqrdns.pcre in postfix and although it seems to be abandonware I find it very reliable and effective (all three files)
Hmm. I think I agree with abandonware. As ISP's come and go and merge I would have expected the files to change. I know my ISP is not listed but could be covered by one of the generic rules. I now have a static IP with them so I can't test.
