I've become used to the script kiddies sending out large connection requests (I do have a threshold set). They are able to get around it by other connections. For example, I had 857 connects of this: Aug 28 11:57:35 mail postfix/smtpd[20544]: connect from unknown[5.232.194.77] Aug 28 11:57:3

How are others handling dictionary attacks (AUTH) with Postfix. For example: Jun 19 21:28:24 mail postfix/smtpd[32583]: connect from unknown[212.131.132.49] Jun 19 21:28:24 mail postfix/smtpd[32583]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[212.131.132.49] Jun 19 21:28:24 mail postfix/smtpd[32

Since upgrading to Postfix, my system is seeing a lot of this activity. My prior config was Sendmail 8 with Cyrus SASL which did not. My guess from this log is that AUTH is taking place unencrypted, which may be the cause? My server advertises (EHLO): 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE [ omitted ] 25
