Dear all,
We use `allow_nets`[1] to restrict login clients, it works fine.
Recently we need to allow some users to login from everywhere except some IP/networks, how can we accomplish this with "allow_nets"?
Tried allow_nets="!a.b.c.d", but Dovecot reports error "allow_nets: Invalid network '!a.b.c.d'".
Can we have this feature?
i guess it should be done in function "auth_request_validate_networks"[2] in file src/auth/auth-request.c.
