pop3-login login failures not blocked after Dovecot upgrade

Post by WBA »

LFD doesn't seem to recognise pop3-login failures after upgrading to Dovecot 2.1.0

We are running Direct Admin current with Dovecot 2.1.0
/var/log# csf --version
csf: v5.46 (DirectAdmin)

These are the log entries that don't work now

I reverted back to Dovecot 2.0.18
These log entries are picked up by LFD

Server1
Feb 22 12:58:40 bob1 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<test1>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.101, lip=192.194.199.1

Server2
Feb 22 12:52:57 bob2 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<test>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.101, lip=192.192.192.192

This may not be a CSF a bug but more of a regex matching issue
Any response appreciated.

We'll look at the change in log line format in a future release.

I have the following pop3 settings configured, but still being hammered by the same ip and csf/lfd are not blocking this ip.

Code: Select all

    # [*]Enable login failure detection of pop3 connections
    LF_POP3D = Default: 10 [0-20]
    LF_POP3D_PERM = Default: 1 [0-604800]

    # [*]Enable login failure detection of imap connections
    LF_IMAPD = Default: 10 [0-20]
    LF_IMAPD_PERM = Default: 1 [0-604800]

Those are not dovecot logs from the actual log file, they appear to be an aggregated log, so we cannot comment. You have to post the actual lines from the real log file as the OP did above.
