Hello Rob

Nothing to do in xmail to get more information, except to run it in debug
mode, perhabs

Why not trying to schedule a tcpdump on smtp port 25 for the time period you
want (5mn before xx:00 up to 5mn after xx:00 for some days) ?
Then you could find more information in the tcp dump (like auth attempt and
values, or exact smtp commands send)

Objet : [xmail] Knowing who is failing Auth Logins


Hello,

I'm running xmail 1.27 on RHEL5.5

The SMTP logs are showing a single AUTH=EFAIL:TYPE=LOGIN every hour at xx:00
hours.
It is coming from the same PC I believe, although IP changes, the ISP and
area indicated by the rDNS suggests it is the same PC.
Most mail clients attempt POP3 more than once an hour, so I'm suspicious.

The logs don't indicate the username in the login attempt.

Is there any way to report on the username that is being used in the
attempt.
If nothing else I can contact the user.
However if it is a low speed dictionary attack, I'd like to be able to
identify that and take some action.

Any ideas?

Rob  :-)
