[root at server conf.d]# doveadm log find
Looking for log files from /var/log
Debug: /var/log/maillog
Info: /var/log/maillog
Warning: /var/log/maillog
Error: /var/log/maillog
Fatal: /var/log/maillog

The successful logins look good. For example:

Dec  5 17:01:50 it dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<username>,  
method=PLAIN, rip=123.123.123.123, lip=10.1.2.3, mpid=12277, TLS

However there's nothing similar for the failed logins:

Dec  5 17:01:36 it dovecot: auth: Debug: imapc(10.1.2.3:143):  
Authenticating as username

Dec  5 17:01:36 it dovecot: auth: Debug: imapc(10.1.2.3:143): Disconnected

Dec  5 17:01:38 it dovecot: auth: Debug: client out:

Dec  5 17:01:46 it dovecot: auth: Debug: client in:

I checked lib-imap-client/imapc-connection.c and found where the  
"Authenticating as" message comes from, but don't see anyplace where the

I believe I found the section of code that does the imapc  
authentication, but don't see anyplace where auth failures are logged:

Any thoughts?
