It's funny that I should check back in. I just installed fail2ban to deal with another issue, however realized it could stop a lot of RBL traffic if I just banned IP addresses so also added it for qmail. If someone gets a wiki started, I'd certainly look at contributing. (hence my previous post on logging pop3 failures!)

BTW, can you find a few moments to get a wiki page for fail2ban started? Even if it's just a rough outline along with your configuration, that would be helpful. I'm sure others can add more details once something's there to work with. TIA. -- -Eric 'shubes' Thanks, David.
