It may be 3am, but I'm pretty sure that this is the part of your setup that
doesn't make sense. Why does your POP/IMAP server need to be accessed via so
many addresses?
Because everybody wants to check email at mail.$theirdomain.com.
But that can be a CNAME for mail.$yourdomain.com, which resolves to one
address.
Also, some users "need" to check email with username only, so the
local_ip variable is used within the dovecot-sql query to lookup some
virtual users by username only + match the local_ip to a table with
domain+ip lookup.
Ok, you got me. How many users need that ability? Would anyone notice if
you killed them?
I started writing a long and involved migration plan to work around this
requirement, but honestly, "wait for v2.0" is probably a better one.
