Well I do not use Maildir but there a patches for the UW-imapd at the
qmail-homepage. For the security:
I have done this by using stunnel, which is a SSL-wrapper for daemons.
You will need OpenSSL for this to work.
I have tcpserver listening on port 993, the standard ssl'ed imapd-port, the
command is as follows
stunnel -p /var/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem -l imapd
Using RedHat 6.0 and pam_open_smtp I allow relaying to those hosts having
connected through this procedure as well.
Internally I have set up another, non-secured imapd, as the mailserver is an
old Pentium-75 with only 64MB of RAM. This one will only allow connections
from internal-networks with tcpserver:
mirko@picard:[mirko]> o /etc/tcprules.d/imapd
127.0.0.1:allow
192.168.0.:allow
:deny
You may use the same approach with ipop3d as well.

Mirko
