No, this server is purely spam/virus front end (more efficient than the ms equivalent for exchange) - no real users exist at all. I use smtproutes to forward the emails on to exchange once simscan has done its duty.

My goal was to stop the ssh monkeys from running dictionary assaults day in and day out.

Another fine tool for this job is DenyHosts (http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ ).

A paticular useful feature is it's "synchronization mode". From the FAQ: "This feature is intended to provide the ability to proactively deny ip addresses that have attacked other users of DenyHosts."

However, in contrast to fail2ban, DenyHosts is limited to SSH.

Do you aim fail2ban at your POP, IMAP, SMTP logs? Have you caught much with it?
