similar to: Any simple way to block logins by IP address?

Is there a way using dovecot facilities to block an IP from attempting POP3 connections (similar to the sendmail access file for smtp connections)? I usually do this at my border firewall, but if there's a quick and dirty way in dovecot to do this, it'd make life a little simpler. Thanks steve campbell

Hello, I'm attempting to configure the Dovecot Antispam plug-in on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with Dovecot 2.0.19. Everything seems to be in order with one considerable exception: when my pipe script (a simple Bash shell script) calls the dovecot-lda executable, absolutely nothing seems to result. If I copy/paste the exact same command into the terminal, the mail is delivered to the target mailbox,

Still new to dovecot, I'm seeing a couple of errors in my log file indicating corruption of index files.

Uh, "pop3s" != "imap", and IMAP/STARTTLS is not the same as IMAP/SSL (or whatever the hell the terminology is nowadays). If you're testing IMAP, try one or the other or both depending of how many flavours

A mail user reported that he filled up his INBOX (despite reminders he was approaching his filesystem quota), and furthermore, he could not fix the situation because he couldn't expunge message he marked for deletion. The dovecot logs revealed the cause dovecot: imap(user): Error: open(/var/mail/user.lock) failed: Disc quota exceeded This created an impasse where a user cannot free

Which headers are you taking about? If you're talking about Received: headers, that's usually inserted by your MTA, not dovecot. Joseph Tam <jtam.home at gmail.com>

After setting imap_hibernate_timeout to 60s, I could not find any hibernated connections after a few hours. I tested hibernation and made an observation: IDLE'd imap sessions only hibernate if they don't have a mailbox SELECT'd, otherwise they never hibernate. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

Then the problem seemed to have went away. I logged back as that
