action based on IMAP ID fields
Hello,
is it possible based on the information we get from the IMAP ID fields sent by a client to start some actions e.g. reject an IMAP client with a certain OS version?

Hi!
Dovecot auth policy feature allows you to inspect IMAP ID fields, if they are sent pre-login. You can use something like weakforced for this.
See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/auth_policy/#aut...

You might like to look at CLIENTID, it's design allows for that. But if you are looking at just OS, p0f is your friend. We use it not only to identify the connection in dovecot, but as a threat indicator as well.
You can reach out off list, and I can send you a few pointers..
