Hi,

We have SMTPS server with SASL auth fro posting messages from external
networks (internal xtoo). Since weeks we found a lot (very big) amount of

SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure

in our logs.

Client IPs are foreigns and not real client.

1 - is it a brut force attack ? Or a DDOS ?
2 - what postfix directive should we use to stop it ?

We have listed all IPs. We can use a FW rule, but its heavy and hard to
manage. A Postfix list may be easier.

Sincerly,
