Hi Victor,

I'm fine with allowing a little probing, especially if the host doing
so has reverse DNS set up, which I assume you do.  But I do not see
any trace of 'dnssec-tools.org' in my logs; is that the domain you are
using for the host(s) doing the probing?

I need to figure out if fail2ban can accommodate but ideally I'd
subject unknown hosts to stricter thresholds.  Having several domains
but only a single MX host I guess you'd be far below any threshold I
care about.

I just noticed a single unknown host is connecting ~1000x per day,
with fingerprint 'ehlo=1 auth=0/1 rset=1 quit=1 commands=3/4' so
that's my first target.

thank you,
Greg
