I have used DA for a while now. But I always get spammed with brute force messages. So I thought why not have fail2ban handle the banning. I used to use the one they had on http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=380 But it screw with iptables to not work corectly on centos6.3. I have the hole dovecot setup like http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/Fail2Ban changed the log to /ect/log/maillog. But it seems to only ban 2 or 3 on startup. But in the end I still get spammed over and over about brute forced.


If anyone has any idea why it is not working or way I can test it more to figure out this issue I would really love it.
 
My log is /var/log/mail.log (Debian), is it different on each distro?

I set up Fail2Ban a few days ago, and no problems what so ever.... Although, yesterday I did see a ban for a Microsoft IP on SMTP (not sure why).....
