Hello again,

I am afraid that I must come back with this issue. Following advice from the Debian package maintainers, I installed a backported 1.0.13 version which keeps behaving wrongly. To be more specific:

My software version is now:
prisni:/# dovecot --version
1.0.13

My debian packages, just to be redundant:
prisni:/# dpkg -l dovecot*
ii dovecot-common 1.0.13-1~bpo40+1 secure mail server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes ii dovecot-imapd 1.0.13-1~bpo40+1 secure IMAP server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes ii dovecot-pop3d 1.0.13-1~bpo40+1 secure POP3 server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes

A login attempt from one IP in the allowed network...
prisni:/etc/postfix# telnet 10.34.133.64 143
Trying 10.34.133.64...
Connected to prisni.tiscali.red.

001 login [EMAIL PROTECTED] password

... fails :-(

I wonder if this option is rare enough to this issue have remained undiscovered through versions... Is there anyone out there using allow_nets in the same way as I am trying to do? Note that using a list single IPs has always worked in my environment.

Thanks in advance,
Javier

Hello all,

I am testing my dovecot installation in order to restrict access via POP3 for IPs outside my network. I have read and understood the instructions in the wiki and I have reached a configuration that works ONLY when single IPs are listed in allow_nets but not when ranges in the notation x.x.x.x/y are listed. Some examples should be more explanatory. I am using 1.0.rc15 patched as for last week as distributed in Debian etch.

I don't see any obvious entries in ChangeLog related to this, but it
seems to work correctly in v1.0.13 and v1.1.rc4, so maybe it was just
broken in rc15.
