Is there a way using dovecot facilities to block an IP from attempting

Hi Steve,
We've been using Fail2Ban on our mail proxies for a while without any
problem.
It may be what you're looking for.

Thanks,
But I believe fail2ban uses iptables, and I don't run a local firewall
on the server. I'd prefer not to use a separate server to inject
firewall rules on the border firewall. I might be wrong about fail2ban,
though.
I was hoping there was a file for pop and imap in dovecot similar to the
smtp "access" file in sendmail (which is what I use, BTW)
