Just another open port, another socket you're blasting your passwords
through. If you set up dovecot properly to use imaps, I guess you should
be good. But I think the shell method is preferable to plain auth. For
you LAN: wrap ssh around the dovecot command.

That being said - I also still run dovecot as server: for
offlineimap. Dno if offlineimap could do without a server, guess I'll
have to take a look.

Anyone?
