And, the instruction on fail2ban should work fine. Submit questions to list.

    But, if they've hacked smtps then they've also hacked submission;
    right?

    Hi,

    I had an email account password guessed through auth attempts via
    smtps.

    I did not realize this as I had forgotten I had it enabled at all. I
    was looking at the submission log and scratching my head not
    understanding how messages got to the remote queue without
    anything in
    the submission log, until I realized smpts was enabled and it was
    logging to /var/log/maillog and not to any log under
    /var/log/qmail...

    My first question: is it safe to disable smtps, I guess I don't need
    it for anything as all my users should be using 587/submission
    instead?

    Second question: How do I disable it? Should I just
    remove /var/qmail/supervise/smtps/run file? And/or block it at
    firewall level?

    Third question: to prevent brute force attacks, is fail2ban the best
    option to do it? I just follow the instructions at
    http://www.qmailtoaster.com/fail2ban.html ?

    Best,
    Peter
