Should have included this in previous,. went of on such a rant I lost
where I was LOL...
The problem I see is the OP wants the rules in dovecot, to also apply
to a web server. So what if RC gave clear text IP's, you add some
config and block them at imap, do you think the badguys care? they
will still be slamming your web server, so you have just moved the
problem sideways, not cured it, as I said rcguard to force captcha
after a couple failures, in combination with fail2ban - problem
solved, bad guys dont get to webmail let alone hitting imap which
still has to happen for dovecot to ignore them.
This might all be true if you're the webmail operator. It does the
recipient of spam email no good at all, and whilst a responsible mail
operator might take on an abuse complaint, trace the details of the
abuser and do something to deter them, like this... basically you're
solving a different problem here.
