Can sasl/sendmail Report IP Of Failed Access?

2013-06-04 Thread Tim Daneliuk

I am seeing login dictionary attacks on a FreeBSD mail server being
reported.  Is there a way to determine the IPs that are doing this
so they can be blocked at the firewall?   auth.log only
notes the attempted user name, not the IP of origin.

one idea is to run auth on a different service / machine on a non-standard
port, that at least cuts down the noise from non-targetted scans.

I don't use sendmail, but aren't the login attempts at least logged in  
maillog as well? If so, you could use fail2ban to ban them. We do this  
with postfix/exim/dovecot/etc.

I wrote some code to find the appropriate maillog entries which do include the 
IP addresses.  It automagically adds the IP addresses to the pf blackhole table 
if certain criteria is met.  The criteria is changeable.  If you would like a 
copy, let me know.

Yes, I'd love a look at that, thanks.

That sounds incredibly useful. Can you post it somewhere?

sshguard is supposed to be capable of analyzing log files beyond just 
ssh.
