Constant Brute Force Attacks

So DirectAdmin has this feature where it scans the logs of process such email, ftp, etc.

This great security measure is abusing the h*ck out of my inbox.
And in turn all these constant emails about brute force attempts is making me  extra paranoid.

So looking for a way to turn on auto ban so I can at least temporarily block the abuser.
Found some interesting scripts online.
