Follow up on postfix-sasl and apache-noscript watch items

Both were left as "revisit if it escalates" notes from earlier audits.
Checked live logs on alpha via SSH (port 10022): postfix-sasl remains
scattered low-volume noise, not a coordinated low-and-slow campaign like
the dovecot spray; the original three /24s behind the apache-noscript
distributed scan are no longer active, current activity is normal
per-IP jail behavior. No fixes needed for either; also reconfirmed the
dyndns per-user auth binding gap is still present and unfixed.

default thresholds and mail stack but showed much lower per-IP volume
in this pass — worth a follow-up check if it starts trending the same
way.
**Follow-up 2026-07-26**: checked `postfix-sasl` — still just scattered
background noise, not a coordinated campaign. Top offender
(`172.94.9.203`) logged 32 hits but all from late June/early July, none
since; current activity is single/double attempts from many different
IPs (no repeated per-IP low-and-slow pattern like the dovecot spray).
`findtime=30m`/`maxretry=3` defaults left as-is — no fix needed unless
this changes.
Fixed: `/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/dovecot-findtime.local`, same values as
the `sshd` fix (`findtime=1d`, `maxretry=4`, `bantime=1d`). Applied via
`fail2ban-client reload dovecot`; verified live with
