I have adjusted and put into place your iptables suggestion like this:
> iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 143 -m string --algo bm --string '1q2w3e4r' -j DROP
> iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 993 -m string --algo bm --string '1q2w3e4r' -j DROP

However, I don't think it's working, as the login attempts just keep 
coming. Probably the reason is: smtp is plain text, and imap TLS/SSL is 
not, so the rules never get triggered.
