43925 password failures

I am wondering if I should stop looking at the logs. 

My mail statistics report showed that I had 43925 password failures on my POP3 Server.  I am going to go out on a limb here and think that is a bit excessive.  In reading the release notes, starting in v4.73 there is a "Extended POP3 lockout detection".  I am using v4.80 and I sure can not find anywhere for this setting.  The statistics report shows a couple of entries for Multiple password failures, Short-term blacklist - current, and peak.  Which leads me to believe that there is something that I should be able to configure.  Yupp the more I think about it 44 thousand  password failures is a bit much. 

Is there somebody that can point me in the proper direction?

 

Thanks
