I haven't been able to figure out how to insert a variable into the search field, or I'd provide that example... Here's something that will return the line that matches your search string AND the line that follows immediately afterward.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '/Illegal users/{_=2}_&&_--' /var/spool/mail/*
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '/Unmatched Entries/{_=2}_&&_--' /var/spool/mail/*
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '/Authentication Failures/{_=2}_&&_--' /var/spool/mail/*
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '/Invalid Users/{_=2}_&&_--' /var/spool/mail/*

You might pass the log file in as an argument - so that it's not always checking the /var/spool/mail directory.

edit ----------
that should be {_=1}

pollrcvd

POLLRCVD(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       POLLRCVD(8)

NAME

       pollrcvd - HylaFAX script for delivering facsimile received by polling

SYNOPSIS

       /var/spool/hylafax/bin/pollrcvd mailaddr faxfile devid commid error-msg

DESCRIPTION

       bin/pollrcvd  is the command script invoked by the HylaFAX server whenever a facsimile is received as a result of a polling operation.  The
       default script uses electronic mail to deliver the facsimile to the user that submitted the poll request, and can be controlled by  editing
       the etc/PollDispatch shell script in the spooling area that is sourced by pollrcvd when it runs.  The arguments are:

       mailaddr  the electronic mail address of the user that submitted the poll request.

       faxfile	 the pathname of the received TIFF file relative to the root of the spooling hierarchy.

       commid	 The communication identifier associated with the call (used to include a transcript when an error occurs).

       devid	 the modem device on which the document was received.

       error-msg an error message that is non-null if an error was encountered during the receive operation.

NOTES

       The default script delivers facsimile as PostScript wrapped in MIME.

FILES

       /var/spool/hylafax   spooling area
       /usr/sbin/faxinfo    for printing information about the facsimile
       /usr/bin/fax2ps	    for converting TIFF to PostScript
       /usr/lib/sendmail    for delivering mail
