hi dovecot network
the principle of fail2ban is repeated for connections with the same login fail2ban does not work if the attack changes to login every time this type of attack is rather to find valid user accounts
I may be wrong, I hope I too am a victim of this kind of attacks

I have fail2ban working for EVERYTHING else except dovecot. I have tried
using my own custom regex in conjunction with the regex on the dovecot.org site. Neither are picked up by fail2ban and I'm trying to use an imminent attack agaist dovecot, going on now, to my advantage to see when I get the right regexp. Here are my current ones:
failregex = .*dovecot: (?:pop3-login|imap-login): (?:Disconnected|Aborted login) \((?:auth failed, .* attempts|no auth attempts)\):.*rip=<HOST>,.* <<< this is my custom (?: pop3-login|imap-login): (?:Authentication failure|Aborted login \(auth failed|Aborted login \(tried to use disabled|Disconnected \(auth failed).*rip=(?P<host>\S*),.* <<< from dovecot.org .*warning:.\S*\[(?P<host>)\]: SASL.(?:PLAIN|LOGIN).authentication failed:.*
Here is the current attack:
Jun 10 17:18:10 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<rahul>, method=PLAIN, rip=113.12.82.71, lip=173.50.101.12
Can someone help me out a little?
Thanks,
