Authfaildelay Option

Introduced in release: 8.0.2

The  option (available under IMAP and POP) determines how long the server delays before reporting an authentication failure. This option is present only for the back-end POP3 and IMAP servers. The MMP uses a more sophisticated badguyslist facility (see ). Decreasing the   option below the default value  is not recommended.

The default value is: 3
