Is this on port 25 or on submission? If on port 25, thn remove
authentication from that port, it's not needed there. This greatly reduces
the amount of password-guessing attacks.

For submission ports, you may restrict access only to IP addresses your mail
clients are connecting from. Unless you are Google or Microsoft ;), you
probably don't have clients connecting from the whole world.

Myself I'm using a solution that checks, for submission ports, if IMAP
session is already active from that IP address (all normal mail clients open
IMAP session and get mail first before trying to send anything) - if not,
the connection is immediately rejected without even allowing the client to
try AUTH.
