Summary:                    wrong repsonse on failed login
Description: 
This is the output of a imap session, where the login failed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ telnet dbmail-server 143
Trying 1.2.3.4...
Connected to dbmail-server.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK dbmail imap (protocol version 4r1) server 2.2 ready to run
a001 login unknown password
* BYE internal db error validating user
a001 OK completed
Connection closed by foreign host.

rfc3501 ("Section 6.2.3. LOGIN Command") states something different.
If the login failed, the imap server should return 
NO - login failure: user name or password rejected

Cyrus is responding:
* OK mail.metaways.net Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12 server ready
a001 login unknown password
a001 NO Login failed: authentication failure
