I don't think an auth block that doesn't assign an identity works the 
way you think it does.  You should either (1) have the "abusers" block 
contain "default: <ABUSERS>" and then include an access block at the 
end to trap them, or (2) modify your "all" block to have "hosts: 
*,!80.109.202.196".

If you choose (1), you might like the reject_with parameter in recent 
versions of INN.
