When using dovecot for authentication of an SASL (postfix) request, i cannot use the allow_nets parameter. The IP-address of the requester is not known in dovecot.
I would like to allow sasl for certain users, others are not allowed to access via SASL. Some users can have access to imap and pop3 from certain IP-addresses.
How could i combine this in then dovecot configuration? Since Postfix doesn't send the IP to Dovecot, there isn't anything on Dovecot's side you can do. You could try asking about this in Postfix

What do you mean by different authentication method? Also all of POP, IMAP and SMTP use SASL actually, so I guess by SASL you mean Postfix? http://wiki.dovecot.org/Sasl and http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms might be useful to read.
In any case if you want to add some IP checks to SMTP authentication, there's no way to do that on Dovecot's side without changing Postfix. What i meant was, is there a way to: IMAP/POP3: authenticate with dovecot and checking for allow_nets SASL (postfix): authenticate with dovecot without the checking for allow_nets (just another pass_attrs)
