Temporary Blocks

It would be nice if I could move certain logon failures to a "timed" list so that they would clear in a specified time.

We never remove SSH failures but FTP, SMTP are often legit users that for whatever reason get themselves locked out.

If we could set this list to clear at certain intervals, it would make life a bit easier and at the same time, anyone trying "hack" in is going to be long gone anyway.

Thanks

Agree with this, would be handy to clear down the FTP and SMTP lists regularly. SSH should stay blocked, mod_security would work either way.

You have my vote on that too

Cpanel has this available now in CPHulk... not very configurable but might be able to stop CSF from checking FTP/SMTP etc and let cpanel take over that part

This feature has been added to v2.80 where you can specify whether a block is temporary or permanent. If temporary, how long the block is for. It's applicable on a per service basis.
