That makes it difficult to answer questions about "missing" email.

And when SASL is used with delays set to no, when the first reject happens, client is out so the very much wanted authentication info is delayed and that decreases the guessing possibilities extremely low and makes the attack close to impossible to ever succeed with proper RBL updating.

fail2ban can to this. you can fill your local dnsbl with that, although I
prefer blocking connection from those IPs at firewall level.


I am guessing you use fail2ban to block those IP's at firewall level. So fail2ban is not a bad place to start in any case, it can take care of both.
