Most such functions would need to be custom.
You need to write a custom login script, which also accepts the user's IP as
input to a function, which then checks if password is right.
And then it returns that password is invalid if IP isn't approved.
Then you just need to write some custom functions in roundcube or similiar to
have the webmail insert the IP into a database.
Or just match it against a GeoIP database and save the latest country the
webmail was logged in from, and then SMTP/IMAP is only approved for that
country.
That reduces the attack surface greatly.

?mne: function for whitelisting IPs
Sebastian,
Do you have any examples of such a function and how/where it is used ?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Sv: 2FA/MFA with IMAP & postfix/submission
Main problem is that not many clients do natively support multifactor.
Some clients, do popup a login dialog if the server rejects the password as
invalid, which can be used to create a "cheaty variant" of
multifactor, but some clients just popup an error dialog and tell the user to
just correct password in settings.
Some clients even go as long as requiring the user to delete the account
with wrong password and set up a new connection.
So no, it cannot be relied upon.
I have a better idea:
Have a function for whitelisting IPs, possible /24's or similiar, where
a login to roundcube or other webmail client (with 2FA) will add the IP onto a
whitelist for that account.
Or perhaps, just "set" the country of the account based on GeoIP.
When an account tries to login via IMAP or SMTP, you just check if IP and/or
GeoIP country is right, and reject the login as invalid if so not.
The only thing a client needs to do to get his IMAP or SMTP client to work
again if it stops working, is to login once via the web client.

?mne: 2FA/MFA with IMAP & postfix/submission
Hi, I have a dovecot-2.3.13 system on fedora34 with a few hundred
IMAP4 accounts, as well as postfix users using submission. Clients are
using primarily Outlook on Windows and old squirrelmail.
Are there multi-factor options available?
If it is not available, do you have any recommendations on where I
should look to do this?
All of the links related to this topic appear to be very old, or
limited to Linux PAM users.
