Nice idea, for imap it would be high (many users use multiple devices to
read mail - several computers, phones, tablets etc.) but
for smtp the caount should be smaller
- some cheap DSL-s are switching once per 24/12 hrs
- some free gsm providers are switching ip once per hour
I checked one of servers (2 weeks from beginning of august) and the user
with highest number of distinct ips have about 80 entries. Your milage
may vary though, you can check your logs with
grep 'Authenticated:' exim-main-* | perl -nle
'm/\[([^\]]*)\].*Authenticated:\s+(\S+)/; $h->{$2}->{$1} = 1; END { for
my $u (sort { scalar(keys(%{$h->{$a}})) <=> scalar(keys(%{$h->{$b}})) }
%$h) { use Data::Dumper; print "$u\n", Dumper $h->{$u} } }'
expects exim main log lines with
[1.2.3.4] Warning: Authenticated: user@domain
