Hi,

Further to the other thread about password guessing activities against our dovecot, I would like to implement application specific passwords on our dovecot.

Googling results in some documents, but they are all a bit older:

https://www.dgsiegel.net/news/2013_05_21-application_specific_passwords_for_dovecot

http://www.justinbuchanan.com/blog/category/RoundCube

http://www.justinbuchanan.com/blog/post/2012/12/02/Application-Specific-Passwords-for-Dovecot-and-Postfix

Those articles are interesting, but also rather old. (I realse that this does not neccesarily mean: irrelevant or bad)

Is there anone here with some additional notes, ideas, tips, trics on setting up application specific passwords with dovecot with virtual users? We are using samba AD as an authentication backend.
