Just an FYI. I've received a couple suggestions to use stunnel. I have
looked at it and it's still on the possibility list. However, our server has
almost 3000 accounts (and growing) and routinely has over 300 simultaneous
imap connections. I was trying to avoid doubling the number of processes by
having stunnel run imapd. I should have mentioned that.
