I wonder if there is an easy way to provide dovecot a flat text file of ipv4 #'s which should be ignored or dropped? I have accumulated 45,000+ IPs which routinely try dictionary and 12345678 password attempts. The file is too big to create firewall drops, and I don't want to compile with wrappers *if* dovecot has an easy ability to do this. If dovecot could parse a flat text file of IPs and drop connections it would sure put a dent in these attempts.
hence i asked month ago for RBL support because such lists are easy to feed into http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/rbldnsd.html - sadly i got no reply than use fail2ban and what not irrelevant if there is already a local dnsbl
i guess for a C-programmer it takes not much more than 10 minutens include a config option to list rbl servers and close connections absed on the DNS responses
