Observation: with the beginning of the war against Iran, botnets more or less stopped attacking my mailserver. From typically 300–500 IP addresses per day it's now less than 5 since a week. Indicates that maybe quite some C&C (Command and Control) servers were operating from Iranian IP addresses and fell victim to the internet shutdown there.
