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?

If you add no-penalty parameter to the AUTH command you avoid the penalty.
