Thanks.

I set the LoginAttemptFilterThreshold to 3, but doesn't seem to be having any
effect.I've noticed a dozen or more attempts from an IP and it isn't being
added to the ip.can. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?

This is what I have:

LoginAttemptDelay=5000
LoginAttemptThrottle=1000
LoginAttemptHackThreshold=3
LoginAttemptFilterThreshold=3
TempDirectory=
HostName=
Interface=0.0.0.0
LogLevel=Debugging
BindRetryCount=2
BindRetryDelay=15
