BTW, is there any chance to add the process command/ executable/ whatever (a la
netstat -p)?


TIA
Ale

I'm reporting abusive login attempts at end-of-day, and I've been told to mention my server (target) address and port, 62.94.243.226:143 in this case.  Since the mail log doesn't mention that data, the idea is to find it in the NFCT log based on the time and source IP.
