Hi list, I'm running courier pop/imap 1.7.3 and I have a question about forcing a client to reauthenticate.
I run qmail as my MTA and for roaming users I set up smtp-poplock. (http://www.davideous.com/smtp-poplock/) This allows for selective relaying after a client authenticates via POP or IMAP. It remembers the IP address of the client after authentication and that client is allowed to relay for a set about of time (2 hours by default, it's configurable though). It does this by parsing the IMAP logs for sucessful logins. If my client (sylpheed) is up for over 2 hours though, SMTP is disabled because smtp-poplock hasn't seen an IMAP/POP authentication for over 2 hours and the IP is removed from the list of allowed relayers. I only tried this with IMAP, if I understand POP correctly, it resends the user/pass each time it checks for mail. My question: Is there any way to force a timeout in imapd so the client must re-authenticate without restarting? I looked through the courier imap config options and it doesn't seem to be anything that can be adjusted from the server side. There is an IMAP_IDLE_TIMEOUT setting, but this is completely unrelated as far as I can tell. The other option would be to up the smtp-poplock timeout value to something like 12 hours, but I don't care for that solution if there is a better one.
