Traditionally this server has only accepted plaintext authentications; however, we want to change that and enable TLS/SSL. The challenge is the server has hundreds of IP addresses it binds to to listen on ports 110/143.
It may be 3am, but I'm pretty sure that this is the part of your setup that doesn't make sense. Why does your POP/IMAP server need to be accessed via so many addresses?
Because everybody wants to check email at mail.$theirdomain.com. Also, some users "need" to check email with username only, so the local_ip variable is used within the dovecot-sql query to lookup some virtual users by username only + match the local_ip to a table with domain+ip lookup.
