I added the banaction to each of my postfix sections in jail.conf: [postfix] # To use another modes set filter parameter "mode" in jail.local: mode = aggressive #mode = more port = smtp,465,submission logpath = %(postfix_log)s backend = %(postfix_backend)s maxretry = 3 findtime = 24h bantime = 1h enabled = true banaction = iptables-multiport I probably would have been okay with just outright blocking the IP altogether, not just for submission.
