Dovecot allows a large number of login attempts per connection. I'd like to reduce that number to, say, 1, and let my firewall keep the ducks at bay, but I can't find anything in /etc/dovecot.conf or by googling. How do I do it? Do I need to patch the source?
dovecot-1.1.10-1.x86_64 on CentOS 5.4
Can you tell us more about these unwanted login attempts? Are you merely trying to stop Chinese et al hacker woodpeckering on your IMAP/POP port(s) or something else?
