In order to log SMTPTX (transactions) do the following:
 1) # qmailctl stop
 2) Add 'SMTP_DEBUG="1"' to /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp 
 3) Replace contents of '/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/log/run' script with below to log transactions to different file: 
     #!/bin/sh
     LOGSIZE=`cat /var/qmail/control/logsize`
     LOGCOUNT=`cat /var/qmail/control/logcount`
     exec /usr/bin/setuidgid qmaill \
       /usr/bin/multilog t s$LOGSIZE n$LOGCOUNT \
       '-*' '+@* server:[*' '+@* client:[*' /var/log/qmail/smtptx \
       '+*' '-@* server:[*' '-@* client:[*' /var/log/qmail/smtp 2>&1
 4) # qmailctl start && qmailctl cdb
 5) # tail -f /var/log/qmail/smtptx/current | tai64nlocal

Start fail2ban
# systemctl start fail2ban

Script to check blocking
# tee -a /usr/local/bin/f2bstat<<EOL
#!/bin/bash

   echo ""
