Hey guys/gals -

A client of mine failed at webmail login five consecutive times last week, and my server banned his IP. Understandable.

This afternoon, I was setting up an external blog editor (Mars Edit 2), and I'm guessing that my pwd was wrong...and why my server subsequently banned MY IP. I'm cool with that, I think.

I added my IP to the whitelist manually (csf -a), but I'd love to know where to check to find little tidbits that show me WHY a person was blacklisted. What log does that show up in?

Thanks for the help...
