I don't know at one point if any they would've been automatically banned, but sure, what you did is fine.
Are they hammering your mail server enough that other systems can't connect to it? Are they causing heavy CPU load? Are they successfully sending out spam? If not, then you're better off just ignoring them. You'll drive yourself insane staring at your logs worrying and reacting to stuff like this. You've got a server exposed to the internet; it's going to get diddled on all the ports.

Thanks for good insight echicken. 🤓🐔I generally ignore them. It's not hurting much unless I see them

Could it be your provider just doing a port scan?
I used ip lookup and it was traced back to England. Each time I unblock the ip it starts trying to send mail to my bbs using bad recipients.

Those IPAs belong to "Unmanaged, LTD," which appears to be linked to Bunea Telecom. If they are giving you grief, I'd see no issue adding them to the ip-silent.can file.
