I have tried this, but the file /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/pop-before-smtp.db does not have any data..

maybe some file permissions need to be modified? i’m using zimbra version 5.0.9

Thanks

thanks for this article. after some tweaking of the INFO expressions, I came up with these in order to catch both IMAP and POP authentications:

$PID_pat = ‘^[LOGTIME],\d+\ INFO \[(?:Pop3|Imap)[A-Za-z]+-(\d+)\] ‘;
$IP_pat = $PID_pat . ‘[\S\s]+(?:\[|=)(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)[\S\s]+ connected’;
$OK_pat = $PID_pat . ‘[\S\s]+name=[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}[\S\s]+(?:pop|imap) \- user [A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4} authenticated, mechanism=[A-Za-z]+’;

Great post, but it appears your single quotes were turned into “smart quotes” which might cause some people some problems if they cut-and-paste your instructions.
