Does anyone have a script that will notice a Rumplestiltskin type spam attack (where they try every name possible) and drop the sending into a block list?
Denyhosts is what you're looking for. It's in dag's repository. Alternately you could just move ssh off port 22 and they'll all go away.
Except I am trying to protect smtp, not ssh.
---- there's no way to script that - you have to configure your smtp server and since you don't mention which smtp server you are using nor what you have looked at in terms of documentation, there's little anyone could suggest.
