Thanks to everyone who has responded.

Removing USERID from "log_on_success" and commenting out the line
"log_on_failure          += USERID" fixed the problem.
I was able to close port 113 on the firewall without breaking email.


btw - for the newer users (like myself): in case you're wondering, this 
still lets the system log email access in /var/log/mail/info.


Thanks again,
