I personally would not use *inetd for anything, I use tcpserver for
everything.  If people are trying to hack random passwords, turn up the
sleep on bad password (I believe this is in the bincimap.conf) to like
30+ seconds.  Sure it might suck for legit users, but most mail clients
have kind of a 'set it and forget it' (sorry Ron) password setting, so
once they get it right it shouldn't be a problem for them in the future.
