[Dovecot] Restrict clients access during mailboxes convertion ?
Hello
Is there a way to restrict access to Dovecot server during mailboxes convertion ?
I need dovecot to be running to convert mailboxes from a format to another, but I would like to block all our LAN clients until the end of convertion.
If there is no internal Dovecot mechanism I will use some firewall rule on the server.
Thanks

finally is it more useful to put all users in /etc/dovecot.deny.* files. fast and easy.

You'd want to also tempfail all mail deliveries.

Why not simply stop Dovecot?
