We have many recalcitrant, bad, accounts constantly checking IMAP, long after the student has graduated. I would like to use user_deny.db to simply tell them to go away.

First, would this offer an advantage? That is, does "login" check user_deny.db before authenticating, or after?

I believe that is it prior to authentication, based on my notes:

https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/2010-June/033119.html

Second, any examples of how to use cyr_dbtool (or other tool) to put entries into user_deny.db?

Finally, my reading of the documentation (2.4.17/18) is that user_deny.db is a flat file by default, so I will need to set userdeny_db to something like skiplist, or berkeley, etc. Any suggestions on a good choice assuming the list could grow to a few thousand? Any documentation on the sql option?
