> non-standard ports is confusing if you're a large team I think this is the key part. For me, this is for very small teams or for my personal server, which I need to be able to access with a password from possibly anywhere. For a larger team, I think I agree - emails would be too low of a signal-to-noise ratio. Although I would still use something like fail2ban, but use it just to log to somewhere more appropriate just in case I need it.
