Anyone have recommendations for combating dictionary attacks? I have one domain in particular (keinan.com) that gets constantly hammered by dictionary attacks. I have a realrcptto solution implemented with mailfront's mailrules, so this is mostly just a nuisance in the logs, except when they hit a real account. It'd be nice to have something that watched for obvious attempts (maybe swatch?) and automatically added the IP address to a blacklist to reject them right at the SMTP connection. I suppose I could write something in perl/python to do this, just curious if anyone's already done anything about this or if you just live with it? Thanks, Josh
