Re: [exim] Closing off Port to non-SSL traffic

>>Tedious, isn't it. I get probed by 5000 hosts per day. I've now set
fail2ban to "one strike and you're out".

I solved that with:
auth_advertise_hosts = 192.168.0.0/16 : 127.0.0.1 : ::::1

Then it doesn't matter if they have the correct password, they wont get
access anyways...

Looks like this in logs:
