Is this possible? All things are possible... The dovecot mailing list suggests that "rhost" is set for PAM, so if you are using PAM authentication and your rules are relatively straight forward, that might be a way to go (i.e. pam_rhost say). Although do make sure if you use the existing modules it is in addition to passwords, and not instead, if you use basic rhost files. I'd say be more specific on the requirements, and ask on the dovecot list -- someone will probably have a better answer than "pam rhosts". > I only want to allow ssl imap connections from limited users all other > users are local access only, currently any user can ssl imap in and > this is definatly not wanted. Any particular reason, do you users suddenly get less trustworthy as they walk out the door in the evening? Only thing we do is block password guessing IP addresses using fail2ban, but then ours are all virtual users.... -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
