Защита от перебора паролей: SMTP, IMAP, веб — лимит по IP и по ящику
continuous-integration/drone/pr Build is passing

Один LoginGuard на все проверки пароля (SMTP AUTH, IMAP LOGIN/AUTHENTICATE,
вход в веб, смена пароля): 10 неверных с IP за 15 мин → блок 15 мин, дальше
вдвое дольше до суток; 20 неверных на ящик с разных IP → ящик закрыт, кроме
IP, с которых в него уже входили. Во время блока пароль не проверяется
(SMTP 421, IMAP BYE + NO [UNAVAILABLE], веб 429 + Retry-After); неверный
пароль — ответ через 1 с; 3 неверных в соединении — обрыв.

X-Forwarded-For веб-входа — только от прокси в частной сети, иначе
заголовок отбрасывается (подменой IP лимит не обойти).

Попутно: IMAP терял тегированный ответ после "* BYE" (LOGOUT, обрыв после
неудачных входов) — takeUntil теперь после тегированной строки.
