Hello,

For one of the domains that we host, Brute Force Monitor keeps reporting (and generating tickets) that an everchanging range of Chinese IPs keep attempting to check a non-existent e-mail at that domain. Is there any way to make it so connection attempts to non-existent e-mails are automatically rejected and notifications are disabled?

Best regards,
 
I had the first three steps set up for a month or so and activated step four last week before I left for the weekend. It seemed to help at first but then, come Wednesday, there were another 20 tickets in the DA system from BFM regarding an IP, an e-mail that doesn't exist, and that IP connecting to that e-mail that doesn't exist. Do I just need to tweak the settings more so that they're more strict?
 
I plan on implementing this myself this weekend, wanted to thank you for the instructions you drew up to use CSF also.
