Thanks to Curtis and others who replied.
I managed to block the IP at our Firewall (learnt a few quirky
things about Astaro Security Gateway on the way!)
In order to automate the process, Fail2Ban has been suggested. I
know this is getting a bit off topic, but has anyone installed in
Mac OS X 10.5.7? There is a how-to for 10.4 ( HOWTO Mac OS X Server
(10.4) - Fail2ban )- does this work unchanged in 10.5?
Anyone managed to get Fail2Ban working on Leopard with Dovecot 1.2
RC4?
I'll answer my own question! There is a OS X Installer file at:
LSA Mac OS X Ported and Developed Software | LSA Information
Technology | University of Michigan
Any regex experts out there that can help me set up Fail2Ban to stop
this?
