... because the IP has no PTR

>         connection from projectvibe.net (205.234.98.200)
>         FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM projectvibe.net
>         FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM projectvibe.net, Administrator

IP has PTR, whose domain name is logged.

"connection from" not the fault we are trying to block reactively.

no, neither in my personal archives, nor through google.
