Ah.  This apparently is a long-standing problem:

http://objectmix.com/sendmail/760733-getting-ip-address-failed-authentications.html

I believe if you increase the Sendmail log level to higher than 9, it
will log lines like this:

Sep 10 10:27:46 vanadium sm-mta[2670]: s8AEQtDU002670: AUTH failure (PLAIN): 
authentication failure (-13) SASL(-13): authentication failure: Password 
verification failed

which unfortunately does NOT include the remote IP.  However, later
on if the client disconnects, you'll get:

Sep 10 10:28:04 vanadium sm-mta[2670]: s8AEQtDU002670: 
[email protected] [192.168.10.1] did not issue 
MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA-v6

so you have to correlate those lines based on queue-ID to figure out which
IP is failing AUTH.

All in all, quite painful.  And the default log level is 9, so these
messages are not usually logged.

Regards,

David.
