All dovecot messages are logged to /var/log/messages. well, I see some going also to secure, those which fail. Maybe not on CentOS 4, though. But this kind of format is the same on CentoS 5. I'm not sure what this kind of login is but when I check myself I get dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser= rhost=::ffff:127.0.0.1 Look at the end. But I also see other failed logins (not from me) without the host. I think you should investigate further on the dovecot list.
