[Dovecot] Authentication a la Postfix's Mynetworks
Is it possible to automatically authenticate Dovecot users using the same type of mechanism which makes Postfix able to simply check SMTP users using the mynetworks variable? Basically I would like to be able to authenticate users on my designated networks automatically, and require a password for those outside this network. Is this possible? -- --asai
