dovecot - Mar 2022 - allow_nets equivalent for all users?

Hi,

It is my understanding that allow_nets is a field that gets used in a
password database, and therefore is a per-user setting.

Is there an equivalent method for defining allowed network(s) for ALL
users? In other words, a single setting that applies to every user?

Thanks,
Bryan

If you really want, you can add default_fields = allow_nets=value or
override_fields = allow_nets=value to the passdb.

But question arises, why not just firewall the machine and allow connections
from trusted networks only?
