If an abuse report is incorrect, then it is fair to complain.
The thing is: are 3 failed SSH logins from an IP legitimately "abuse"? I've typoed IP/FQDN before and gotten an SSH response, and taken several tries before I realized my error. Did I actually "abuse" someone's server? I didn't get in, and it's hard to say that the server resources I used with a few failed tries were anything more than negligible. I've had users tripped up by fail2ban because they were trying to access a server they don't use often and took several tries to get the password right or had the wrong SSH key. Should that have triggered an abuse email? -- Chris Adams <cma () cmadams net>
