OK, after resetting the database (removed all the files from .../data/ and cleared /etc/hosts.deniedssh) it seems to all be back to normal. I still see that error on line 11 the first time I try to connect, but sshd is not getting killed on every connection attempt so I am thinking that

Feb 19 20:23:27 mail sshd[41980]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 11: can't verify hostname: getaddrinfo(166-205-012-100.mobile.mymmode.com, AF_INET) failed

is normal?

(this is a connection over AT&T 3G)

Also, logging has resumed in /var/log/denyhosts so I'm pretty confident that everything is back to normal.
