I've quoted that advice Les gave because it's good. If you really want
to provide users with certain services and not others, start from a
position of not allowing them anything, and then give individual users
more rights when needed.
But for the Dovecot side of what you asked, why not have a look at
/etc/dovecot.conf ? It includes the lines
# Users can be temporarily disabled by adding a passdb with deny=yes.
# If the user is found from that database, authentication will fail.
# The deny passdb should always be specified before others, so it gets
# checked first. Here's an example:
#passdb passwd-file {
# File contains a list of usernames, one per line
#args = /etc/dovecot.deny
#deny = yes
#}
Hope this helps,
James.
