I think you're referring to this:

 > Mar 31 16:07:16 scarlet synchronet: mail 0128 SMTP !missing AUTH LOGIN
 > username argument

These are counted as a login failure and the loginAttempt settings apply
(hack-logging, auto-filtering). And the login attempt delay is applicable here
as well, if configured.

So... I'm not sure what you're asking for.
