Is there any way to tie in qmail scanner/qmail and IPTables together so
that if a spammer hammers your connection even though they are being
denied, IPTables blocks them permanently or for a specified ammount of
time?

2 problems I could see:

1) The only way to modify the firewall is as root. So we have a security concern there. How does a normal user add a rule to the firewall?

2) qmail-scanner is much like a web page in that something has to happen before it can do anything. So if you have a low volume server, a rule could go quite a niy longer than intended.

Solve those two problems, and I don't see why it wouldn't work
