And there are RBL's now for know IP(s) used by IMAP hackers, including
SpamRats RATS-AUTH that can assist in reducing those attacks.

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 }


openRelay, dont do it

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 }

order do matter

for dovecot use allow_nets or weekforce policy server, 3dr party, if dovecot is the submission it would imho be a winner

i still consider external service as a insecure help
