I assume you mean IMAP/POP connections, not SMTP.

You're making perfect sense, and frankly, if not for the .de TLD in your
email address, I'd have thought you were an American.  Your written
English is probably better than mine, and it's my only language.  To be
fair to the Brits, I speak/write American English.  ;)

I'm guessing no one else has interest in this thread, or maybe simply
lost interest as the replies have been lengthy, and not wholly Dovecot
related.  I accept some blame for that.
