Re: [Dovecot] Encrypted IMAP only from Internet, unencrypted POP3 from internal network

My idea was: limit them to use encryption

Internet access for POP3 is not necessary.

Well, Dovecot can't give different settings based on where the connection comes from (although this is planned for v2.0). For now the best you could do is:

protocol imap { disable_plaintext_auth = yes } protocol pop3 { disable_plaintext_auth = no }

At least I think that works.
