Reporting Multiple Hits?

2007-12-26 by Dan Mahoney, System Admin

Hey all,

I'm looking for a way that I can report multiple hits from the same ip 
address, and cause them to be blacklisted/drop/reported to the 
appropriate abuse department/fed to an RBL.

Right now I've got a start at running:

cat greylist.db | cut -f 1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | more

To get an idea of which ip addresses are "high rollers".

Before I get into writing a full "reporting" system, I've encountered a 
couple problems with this logic.

First, I can only addresses in the dumpDB, so I'm limited by the dump 
interval.  This would be a lot easier if there was some other (realtime) 
DB backend for the greylist.db

Secondly, (obviously) I can only check up on those addresses which are 
being greylisted.  I was working with one of the spamassassin devel's on a 
SA plugin that does a similar thing.

I was wondering if anyone else had done anything useful with this data 
and/or what youhad to share?
