denyhosts is a python script that goes though your /var/log/secure file
looking for sshd logging info.

It adds the "bad hosts" to hosts.deny to prevent ssh login attempts.
Entries can be permanent or temporary.

Umm, yum info denyhosts on my Fedora 10 box.

It might be possible to use/modify it for SMTP use?
There's a plugin for shorewall.
