I'm running the latest version of ASSP and I've possibly spotted a bug;
some clients try authenticating with "PLAIN" login, fail, retry using
the "LOGIN" mechanism and succeed, here's a log snippet

info: authentication - plain is used
info: authentication (PLAIN) realms - foruser:[email protected], 
user:[email protected]
[SMTP Error] 535 Authentication failed. Restarting authentication process.
info: authentication - login is used
info: authentication (LOGIN) realms - user:[email protected]
authenticated to 192.0.2.1

now, the problem is that (apparently) after the successful
authentication ASSP does not reset the "failed login count" for the
sending IP, so, if the client sends a number of messages, after a while
ASSP locks out the IP due to "too many auth failures"; now this sounds
like a bug to me, since, after the IP successfully authenticates, its
"fail count" should be reset to zero
