Yes, the config is taken from the SOGo configuration guide, which can be 
seen here:

Yes, but we have args = nopassword=y allow_nets=127.0.0.1/32
so it should only allow passwordless logins from localhost, right..?

And in "Debug: static(username,1.2.3.4,<g2/rF+ZnjAAu5ceg>): Allowing any 
password" 1.2.3.4 is NOT localhost...

(obviously 1.2.3.4 is not the *real* ip, bit it's a *real* ip from the 
internet, NOT localhost...
