I echo Scott's position.  Understanding certain reasons for a daily
increases (or decreases) in authentication failures is possible when you
know the passing volume as well as the failing volume.  Domains with
sending volumes that vary widely day to day for example, will have failure
volumes that vary widely.  Is the increase due to a problem or is there is
just more mail being sent and the failure rate is normal?
