OOPS - almost as soon as I sent this, I realized that authlib is authenticating IMAP connections, not SMTP

So, I'm looking in my SMTP logs (submission, actually) and was able to find the offending user (dumbass had a password of "123" -- another reason for KEEPING the plaintext passwords available, just limited access!

OK, here's a known security issue, but now that I'm being exploited, I don't know how to debug.

It appears (see quoted log file entries below) that someone is logging in as a valid user, then sending messages with OTHER mail addresses in the FROM section.

In the log entry below, this is just 1 of HUNDREDS of messages that are now flooding my mail server. There are no .ru domains on my server, so the FROM section is clearly being generated AFTER a successful SMTP login.

What I can't figure is how to determine the ID being used. Surely there is a way to increase the logging level of authlib so I can capture EVERY login (not just the failed ones)... if there is, I don't know how...

Ideas??
