add this before any other passdb & read the Variables page about %Ls (You 
probably don't need it)

passdb passwd-file {
   args = /etc/dovecot/deny.%Ls
   deny = yes
}

Besides the iptables (or similiar on other OSs) approach, there is 
"Restricting IP Access" on the same page. Though, I don't know since when 
this feature is available.
