I did the three steps I mentioned and have failures with IPs
logged in /var/log/ftpd.log, for example:

	connection from 79.165.190.70 (79.165.190.70)
	FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM 79.165.190.70
	FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM 79.165.190.70, Administrateur
	repeated login failures from 79.165.190.70

	connection from projectvibe.net (205.234.98.200)
	FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM projectvibe.net
	FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM projectvibe.net, Administrator

But you're right, in the second example, the host name is logged,
not the IP, but the IP is always logged in the "connection from"
lines.

Did you have any luck parsing the mailing list's archive?
