Hello Atıf CEYLAN,

And what do you suggest to with customers which use my  storage  servers
as there mailstore and fetch all uses by fetchmail?

Now I am puzzeling arround, because fail2ban block even normal Logins if
they happen to fast...

Exactly:  An enterprise use the M$ Exchange server internaly, but use my
server as thre mailserver and it has 20-50 users to fetch (fetchmail).

The Exchange server does this all 10 minutes  sequentialy  but  is  very
fast as my internet connectivity (1 GE) and check without  any  problems
20 accounts in less then 15 seconds.  BANNED!  :-S  Not very funny!

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
