SASL is usually used on the submission port, 587.

Do you have SASL enabled on port 25? If so, it's a good idea to only leave it enabled on port 587.

I am not sure if I do. I don't see anything in my /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file relating to sasl ports (or in any of the dovecot/conf.d/* files).

I've revised my iptables port blocking to see if blocking 587 stops the login attempts.

Anybody know what settings in Dovecot/CentOS might relate to this?

So I assume port 587 is an alternative smtp port, usually reserved for localized traffic? Blocking it won't affect normal mail flow?
