A bit harder anyway since dovecot is a modular system.

Chuck.. 
Another fix for watching multiple daemons (more securely than allwoing/denying 
them via xinetd IMHO) is something like swatch:
	http://www.trustix.org/wiki/index.php/Swatch
	http://swatch.sourceforge.net/

It does the same as DenyHosts but does many many server side protos via log 
file groking and blocks via iptables (better than using allow/deny files)...

Can easily be set up for pop3, IMAP, sshd, and more.
