SSH worked for me "out of the box":

sshd.conf

failregex = ^%(__prefix_line)s(?:error: PAM: )?Authentication failure  
for .* from <HOST>\s*$
             ^%(__prefix_line)sFailed [-/\w]+ for .* from <HOST>(?:  
port \d*)?(?: ssh\d*)?$
             ^%(__prefix_line)sROOT LOGIN REFUSED.* FROM <HOST>\s*$
             ^%(__prefix_line)s[iI](?:llegal|nvalid) user .* from  
<HOST>\s*$
             ^%(__prefix_line)sUser \S+ from <HOST> not allowed  
because not listed in AllowUsers$
             ^%(__prefix_line)sauthentication failure; logname=\S* uid= 
\S* euid=\S* tty=\S* ruser=\S* rhost=<HOST>(?:\s+user=.*)?\s*$
             ^%(__prefix_line)srefused connect from \S+ \(<HOST>\)\s*$
             ^%(__prefix_line)sAddress <HOST> .* POSSIBLE BREAK-IN  
ATTEMPT\s*$

ProFTPd - I copied over the two lines I was using in BlueQuartz:

proftpd.conf

failregex = \(\S+\[<HOST>\]\)[: -]+ USER \S+: no such user found from  
\S+ \[\S+\] to \S+:\S+$
             \(\S+\[<HOST>\]\)[: -]+ USER \S+ \(Login failed\):  
Incorrect password\.$
             \(\S+\[<HOST>\]\)[: -]+ SECURITY VIOLATION: \S+ login  
attempted\.$
             \(\S+\[<HOST>\]\)[: -]+ Maximum login attempts \(\d+\)  
exceeded$
             \(\S+\[<HOST>\]\) - USER \S+ \(Login failed\):$
             USER \S+: no such user found from \S* ?\[<HOST>\] to \S+ 
\s*$

I'm looking for something that actually works with regards to Dovecot  
brute force attacks...
