Hi all.

A recent dovecot update has changed the log format. As a result, DFIX 
was no longer picking up brute force dovecot attacks. Some nasty cretin 
decided to launch an attack simultaneously against a /24 range.... They 
probably didnt know much of that range was the one logical server with 
multiple domains - but lets just say that the end result was dovecot 
taking a dive.

The new dfix package was created, and is compatible with old or new log 
formats...

Please update as soon as possible through NewLinQ.

Regards,
Greg Kuhnert
