[Dovecot] selective disable_plaintext_auth

Hi,

I've been using dovecot for some time now, always with the setting:

disable_plaintext_auth = yes

so that no user can accidentally expose their username/password in the open.


However, I'm now trying to configure a webmail client in a nearby server 
which doesn't support TLS or SSL IMAP connections :-(

Is there any way to allow plaintext_auth only for a small set of IP 
addresses (for what I see in the comment, this is automatic for local 
addresses, alas, the webmail client is on another host).

TIA
