Are you worried about iptables slowing systems down compared to Postfix
(and whatever authentication backend is involved) having to deal with
all the unsuccessful login attempts? I don't think that is likely. Also,
what is a theoretical performance hit worth to you, when compared to the
possible cost of even a single hacked mail account?
