Re: [Dovecot] 1.0alpha2: how to reject specific users?

Hi, In Qualcomm's qpopper, you can specify a list of users to reject at authentication, even if they are otherwise valid, by putting them in a file (/etc/pop.nonauth). I use this to occasionally ban users who bang on the system needlessly until they Get a Clue. I looked thru the wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication pages and didn't see anything like this feature. Does it exist in 1.0?

I have tried this:

/etc/dovecot.conf: auth default { mechanisms = plain

  userdb passwd-file {
    args = /etc/dovecot-noauth
  }
  
  # Other auth methods
  ...

/etc/dovecot-noauth: luser1:*:42:42:luser1,,,:/dev/null:/bin/false luser2:*:42:42:luser2,,,:/dev/null:/bin/false

IWFM.
