My conclusion is that today, there's no technical way to forward
client IPs from roundcube to dovecot/postfix.
You mean... without patching ?
( you pointed to an issue on roundcube github which add the proxy of
orignal IP )
With the mentioned plugin & patch, client IPs are always forwarded to dovecot, so I believe we're clear on this front (IMAP login attempts).

Which left me thinking: what about SMTP login attempts? (forwarded from roundcube to postfix) Hence this question <https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/issues/5334#issuecomment-1001530775> on the roundcube's git.

But yes, my feeling is that we're getting closer to that technical solution.  ;)

As for limiting bruteforce attacks ( I believe that's one of the aims ),
you could also use somehting like this fail2ban plugin :

True, stumbled upon that one while researching, surely a nice to have!
I'm also looking for ways to detect and block other kinds of attacks, for example with dovecot auth policy.

Nico
