Yes, but i do not see the !TEMPORARY BAN or Throttling as TELNET (just
this 3 lines at all log)


Mar 31 07:47:32 scarlet synchronet: term Node 1 Throttling suspicious
connection from: 190.19.114.20 (5 login attempts)
Mar 31 07:47:53 scarlet synchronet: term Node 2 Throttling suspicious
connection from: 190.19.114.20 (7 login attempts)
Mar 31 08:59:40 scarlet synchronet: term 0093 Telnet !TEMPORARY BAN of
45.224.41.9 (2 login attempts, last: Root) - remaining: 9:55
Mar 31 13:45:09 scarlet synchronet: term 0096 Telnet !TEMPORARY BAN of
59.29.152.201 (2 login attempts, last: Root) - remaining: 9:56

you can see the smtp parts log here:

http://test.bbs.docksud.com.ar/tmp/sbbs-smtp.txt

my sbbs.ini setting are the dafault:

    LoginAttemptDelay = 5000


    LoginAttemptThrottle = 1000


    LoginAttemptHackThreshold = 10


    LoginAttemptFilterThreshold = 0


    LoginAttemptTempBanThreshold = 20


    LoginAttemptTempBanDuration = 600

I guess that the login fail counter is not working over the smtp
service. The hack.log and spam.log file are empty.
