it is a never ending game so that's where automation plays a role. As SonicWall if their firewall will automate like BlackIce. I find it hard to believe that a $300 piece of software would do something that a dedicated device wouldn't. Martin Schaible wrote: Hi, Thanks a lot for the several tips. ImGate and BlackICe are not the solution i like or i need: - ImGate is bound to IMail and runs on separate Linux-Box. - We do not need an additional FireWall like BlackICE. So, i started to add IP-Adresses to the blacklist of our SonicWall. I will call "biological dictionary attack prevention" and this game will be a never ending and boring story, i guess ;-) ============================================ Am Mittwoch, 24.

What you need is Blackice Server edition to automatically block IP's. Martin Schaible wrote: Hi, Our poor server is suffering with tons of dictionary attacks.
