smtp hack attempts and no IP in logs

Hi, server gets smtp login attacks but firewall cant ban them because there is no IP in logs... like this in var/log/messages:

Did you check var/log/maillog or mail? This is the place where you should find and see detailed reports of any login attempts to your mail server and logs of any email you sent or received.
