• After getting a long string of temporarily blocked emails regarding a brute force attack (I have temporarily changed it to daily email), I noticed that they are all trying to login as admin. I have the checkbox checked for “Immediately ban a host that attempts to login using the “admin” username” but it does not look like it is banning them. All of the IP’s look like a temporary block in the dashboard – active lockouts (with time left counting down). Any way to fix this or find if they are really banned?
