Hello all  ,

I am having mailserver with centos 6.3 + cyrus-imad + postfix + ldap
We are using cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-13.el6.x86_64  with 'PAM' Mechanism .

Many spammer are trying to hack password for doing many authentication
with pop3 + imap + smtp  services.
on server Fail2ban hass been  added , but its blocking hacker IPs
after certain interval  and not in real time.  Which is the actual
issue.

I am looking for some real-time blocking where that particular
spammer IP + email id must get block  .
I'm using fail2ban too and I don't understand what you mean by "real
time". In my configuration the ban is set immediately after three failed
logins (no delay) and for more extended banning of persistent abusers I
use the recidive filter.

I think I am missing something with fail2ban.
I am looking for immediate source IP blocking after 3 wrong attempt for this for pop / imap / smtp login failure.

Can you please share your correct configuration. That will help me to understand the regex part matching.

What is your suggestion for below 3 points.
I believe this issue is very common with other too ,  is there any
option in 'saslauthd'  /  postfix  / cyrus-imapd for below
requirement ?

1)  If server receive the wrong password , then is it possible to
introduce the delay of say 5-10 seconds to sender client ? So that
spammer will do less attempt ?
2)  After given wrong password attempt more than 3 time , the
particular "IP + email id" must get block for next 5-10 min.
And then need to unblock after  that.
3) I check PAM-ABL , but its not working for 'saslauthd'' with pop /
imap / smtp . Because I came to know that 'saslauthd'' is not getting
IP of source .
How to pass  source IP to "saslauthd''  along with email id , password
and relam .  Is there any patch available for this ?

Ciao!
