Log IP-Addresses in authpsa error messages

LarsenD

Regular Pleskian
Hi,

I´ve got a lot of error messages like this from someone who is trying out email logins:
Nov 19 18:24:59 host courier-authdaemon: authpsa: short mail addresses are not allowed, got 'brett'

I´ve got fail2ban running but I would need the IP address to be able to block that someone. Is authpsa responsible for the messages and is authpsa from Parallels? If so, it would be really useful to have the IP address in the error message.


There also are other messages that I guess come from login scanning:
Nov 19 18:29:05 host qmail-queue-handlers[32703]: Unable to get sender domain by sender mailname

Perhaps it is also possible to patch qmail to print out the IP address in those cases, too.


Regards
Lars
 
courier-authdaemon as its name suggests is just an authentication daemon. Generally, it shouldn't care about client IP addresses (nor should its modules, which authpsa is). So it's reasonable that you don't see the address in the line you posted. Look a couple of lines above or below. IP address will be present in LOGIN/LOGOUT messages.
