Hey,

Just signed up as I was unable to find something explaining an approach to
what I want to achieve.

I have a handful of jail configurations which handle postfix for example.
Inspecting the currently banned ip addresses I see a lot of examples of
entire subnets used to attempt to gain access. Hence I have a lot of
addresses originating from the same origin which makes the number of banned
sources quite high. I have chosen to have a fairly high ban time set up for
the configured jails which obviously also influences the count.

My question is thus, is there a way to optimize or cleanup the bans so it’s
based on wildcards or subnets instead? Or should I not worry about this as
iptables is not affected performance wise by +1000 banned ips?

Thanks!
