Enabling tcpwrappers

Hi all,
I would like use Dovecot with tcpwrappers enabled to control remote
access using hosts.deny and hosts.allow.
A google search gave this response from the listserve, but it is several
years ago:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-April/089455.html
Are these instructions for configuring the conf files still valid? Mainly:
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
login_access_sockets = tcpwrap
conf.d/10-master.conf:
service tcpwrap {
unix_listener login/tcpwrap {
group = $default_login_user
mode = 0600
user = $default_login_user
}
}
Also:
Which version of Dovecot at least is needed to enable tcpwrappers?
Does the tcpwrap option need to be enabled during configure and build or
is it already (and enabled in any distro binary repositories)?
And is it dovecot, imap, or imaps in the hosts.allow/deny file as the
service name?
Thanks!
Kepa
