SSHGuard now works for more than ssh. It has hooks for postfix and other
services.

SSHguard is similar but only for ssh, not for postfix. Fail2ban and
equivalent log parsers are just too resource hungry, messy and more time
consuming to maintain. blacklistd is offering simplicity, central
management, extreme speed compared to any log parser with minimal
resources. There is no comparison really between log parsers and
balcklistd or SSHguard.
