Steffen Kaiser:

I would give the http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting a try.
I never used PostLoginScripting before. I have concerns about additional serverload if that scripting is executed for every pop3 login and every user. ( and there are *many* )

Maybe you can enable it for your dummy account via ExtraFields specifically.
That sounds I like additional scripting could be selective enabled via ExtraFields?
It' try to find documentation ...

Because I wonder, if you will be successful with "throw a login error with customised answer" [any MUA displays what it wants], you might prefer a MUA-independ script or program that queries your server. And if you are at it, maybe a dummy server with a self-made script that returns "+OK POP3 your IP is ....", then return +FAIL for any further command. You need to return the greeting and keep the connection open, in order to bypass IDS firewalls.
I also thought about that.

Thanks for your constructive statement.
Andreas
