i would block connections from the world to a UW imapd server. it is
well known to be full of security holes(most of the known ones are
patched however from what i gather on BUGTRAQ the whole design of the
server isn't done with security in mind). or compile UW IMAP with the
stackgaurd GCC compiler. if your imap server is on a private network
then i guess there isn't much to worry about.
i for one just recently switched from uw imapd to cyrus, performance
increased by about 10 fold.
