hi Gunter >The best way I think would be if James could handle this internally. Until then, fail2ban is a good alternative. I think you are misunderstanding. Neither james or any other mail exchanger or imap server can take over the work fail2ban can do. Fail2ban can provide a dynamic firewall, by blocking ip addresses that misbehave on the fly. This blocking happens at network level rather than application level so is much more efficient and safer than james/exim4/postfix alone can achieve with even the finest configuration tweaks. -- David Matthews [email protected]
