For days now, I have been watching our Imail server 9.04 being hit be dozens of outside IP's using a dictionary attack style, which Imail can't block.

Instead of sending multiple email addresses per session ... it tries ONE email address, and when it fails, doesn't connect again for another 2 or 3 minutes, then tries another single address, which fails and keeps repeating.

Since Imail sees this as a single message that fails, it doesn't detect it as a dictionary attack.

But this is happening from a few dozen IP's that I keep blocking manually and more pop up ... so it is taking a lot of manual work/ reading logs etc ...

Anyone see anything like this?
