Hi,
I've been using dovecot for some time now, always with the setting:
disable_plaintext_auth = yes
so that no user can accidentally expose their username/password in the open.
However, I'm now trying to configure a webmail client in a nearby server which doesn't support TLS or SSL IMAP connections :-(
Is there any way to allow plaintext_auth only for a small set of IP addresses (for what I see in the comment, this is automatic for local addresses, alas, the webmail client is on another host).
TIA

- Theory is when you know something but it doesn't work.
- Practice is when something works but you don't know why.
Usually we combine theory and practice: Nothing works and we don't know why.

for authentication checks). disable_plaintext_auth is also ignored for
these networks. Typically you'd specify your IMAP proxy servers here.
