How do you find out the account/s involved in Brute Force password events

Question asked by Antony - 3/6/2015 at 8:32 AM

When you have the Abuse detection events configured how can you find out which domains/ users were involved?

The logs seem to record the events and also search by IP records the connection/ disconnection but I cannot find out how to ascertain the user account being attacked.

Is this possible?

Make certain your SMTP logs are set to detailed. Check the SMTP logs.

If your logs are set to "Detailed" you can use the search string of "rsp: 535 Authentication failed". Be sure to enable "Display related traffic"
