Hi,
policyd can rate limit dovecot POP3 users?
sure :)
i just think dovecot does it better
last resort would be ip6table/iptable
We're talking Dovecot, not Postfix. Policyd AFAIK is ran as a policy from within Postfix. That would be over SMTP and not POP3.
If there is some config within Dovecot to allow usage of policys written for Postfix, please point that out.
Searching the policyd.org site for terms like 'POP3' or 'Dovecot' yield no results.
That’s what I thought ;-)
In fact I would have to write an external policy service that really counts user/time. But as Robert said, there seems not to be a bigger problem with lots of connections, so I do not try to find a solution here anymore :-)
Thanks everybody
