No. Attackers would otherwise use that. Although I suppose something could be added if the source IP is from login_trusted_networks.. Wonder what would be a good way. I guess the same commands that are used to pass IPs through proxies, so maybe:

IMAP:

a ID ("x-silent-logout" "y")
b LOGOUT

POP3:

XCLIENT SILENT-LOGOUT
QUIT

But would those work well enough everywhere? Should it be a LOGOUT/QUIT parameter instead?.. Such parameters could be troublesome though.
