• The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

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.
