First of all, MANY compliments for this fantastic software.
Now the question: is it possibile to limit the access to dovecot (or a single service) to a specified range of IPs?
Basically, I am thinking about an IP-based ACL.
Thankyou in advance.
Ciao, luigi

If you can get it to run under inetd - which it's supposed to, but I failed to get to work :( - then you can use TCP-wrappers to restrict access by IP (or use xinetd).

This may be in the archives, but is there a particular reason (other than 'nobody bothered yet') not to add libwrap hooks? I never considered them bad or hard to implement, myself.

Like I mentioned in IRC, no other reason than I haven't bothered to do it.. Maybe I should look at how Postfix implements it (is it using -lwrap or tcpd?), Dovecot's newly rewritten master process is very similar to Postfix's master :)
