Logging IP address in error logs

[Martin Schmid]

I accidently didn't reply to the list before, so here's a little summary:

In general, my setup is working flawlessly with amavis as frontend and 
xmail as backend server.
Since amavis behaves as a kind of proxy, it also sends the error status 
codes from the real SMTP server to the client while connected.
There may be disadvantages exposing amavis but I'm pretty satified so far.

My goal would be to use fail2ban to automatically lock out ip adresses 
that cause some errors such ass dropping sessions without quit.
To accomplish this I would need to find the offending IP in the log. 
That's all I'm after.

It seems that there is no option covering this. It seems that I have to 
patch the script.
