G'day All, I am new to dovecot. I've run across the "allow_net" to restrict access on what seems like a per user basis. Is the a way to global limit access to one or more networks? Marcus O.

Kind of limiting, though... I like to be able to access my email from anywhere... A nice enhancement might be a way to allow access from outside only to 'allowed_external_users' or something like that... -- Best regards, Charles
