[Dovecot] forbid some users and machines ?
Hello
1 - Is there a way to forbid log in of some Dovecot's users ? I use NIS as authentication mechanism.
2 - Is it possible to forbid some machines (IP addresses ) to connect to Dovecot server ?
Thank you

Yes, with Linux you can use iptables.

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/RestrictAccess
add this before any other passdb & read the Variables page about %Ls (You probably don't need it)
passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/deny.%Ls deny = yes }

Besides the iptables (or similiar on other OSs) approach, there is "Restricting IP Access" on the same page. Though, I don't know since when this feature is available.
