Hi,
I'm using Dovecot v2.2 with  unix_listener auth-client {
} to verify passwords for a different service. However, it looks like that
auth_failure_delay effects all connects going through that socket.
I mean:
connect /var/run/dovecot2.2/auth-client
attempt bad auth
2s penalty
NO
disconnect
==> Note, it's another connection almost immediately following each
connect /var/run/dovecot2.2/auth-client
attempt good auth
2s penalty
OK
disconnect
Can I disable auth_failure_delay for local UNIX sockets?
How do I add it to login_trusted_networks?
