...

If I understand correctly (please correct me if I am wrong) a spammer is attempting to connect to postfix from 2 IPs (93.189.95.71 & 61.219.240.68).

I want to blacklist these domains from being able to connect to my server at all so these unmatched entry errors do not even show up. What is the best way to ban these IPs?

I tried this but the errors keep showing up:

sudo vi /etc/postfix/sender_access.pcre

93.189.95.71     REJECT
61.219.240.68     REJECT

Re: Unmatched Entries in Logwatch

You have DNSBL services enabled in postscreen (already caught those spams according to pasted log), no need to blacklist them separately.
