allowplaintext: no

Whoops, totally missed that. For some reason I believed that this would kill the PLAIN and LOGIN authentication methods totally. I stand corrected. This appears to do exactly what I want.

This wasn't actually my original question, but if I set allowplaintext to no, my webmail no longer is able to connect (as it wants an unencrypted connection). So, I'll ask a more complicated question:


Can I selectively allow 127.0.0.1 to connect plaintext? Alternately, can I allow port X to be plaintext (and limited via tcpwrappers) and have port Y be no plaintext? Hopefully I'm not being too confusing.
