• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Need smtp_auth messages even if authentication is successful

Hello. According to http://rackerhacker.com/2007/02/10/finding-compromised-mail-accounts-in-plesk/ , I should be able to find messages in my /var/log/messages file similar to this:

Feb 10 10:19:33 s60418 smtp_auth: SMTP connect from unknown@ [207.219.92.194]
Feb 10 10:19:33 s60418 smtp_auth: smtp_auth: SMTP user [USER] : /var/qmail/mailnames/[DOMAIN]/[USER] logged in from unknown@ [207.219.92.194]

I am not seeing these messages at all.

Instead, I am seeing:

Apr 30 16:50:14 localhost smtp_auth: SMTP connect from unknown@localhost [111.222.333.444]
Apr 30 16:50:14 localhost smtp_auth: smtp_auth: FAILED: [email protected] - no such user from [email protected] [111.222.333.444]

(In the above sample, the IP's, hostnames, and email addresses have been changed to fakes, but the structure is the same).

So, I am seeing messages if the smtp_auth connection fails, but nothing if it is successful. Anybody know how to make smtp_auth log a message, even if it is a successful login?

Thanks.
