And there are RBL's now for know IP(s) used by IMAP hackers, including

Looking at https://www.spamrats.com/rats-auth.php the "Example Usage in
Dovecot" says "PLEASE UPDATE".
How would one use a DNSBL like this in Dovecot to reject IMAP connections
from listed IPs?
submission inet n - y - - smtpd
-o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
-o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
-o smtpd_delay_reject=no
-o { smtpd_client_restrictions = reject_rbl_client
auth.spamrats.com=127.0.0.39, permit }
-o { smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated, reject }
This is not an answer to the question, this is Postfix syntax.
openRelay, dont do it
In what way would this create an open relay exactly? The 'permit' at
the end of the 'smtpd_client_restrictions' only means that the client
is accepted, not that other smtpd restrictions are lifted.
resolved version
submission inet n - y - - smtpd
-o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
-o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
-o smtpd_delay_reject=no
-o { smtpd_relay_restrictions = reject_rbl_client
auth.spamrats.com=127.0.0.39, permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated, reject }
Although syntactically correct, it is confusing at best to put client
restrictions in another place than smtpd_client_restrictions.
Especially with 'smtpd_delay_reject=no' in effect you'd only reject
after receiving 'RCPT TO', which is evaluated after
'smtpd_client_restrictions' and 'smtpd_helo_restrictions' during the
SMTP transfer.
order do matter
Indeed.
