Yes, but the smtp vulnerability is VERY concerning and not to have an answer
by now is bordering on ridiculous.  The smtpd vulnerability has remote
execution of code...

With the description of this issue per iDefense I would imagine that this 
problem is present in most all versions of Imail.

Since the offending commands have to be issued by an IMAP user that has 
already authenticated I don't see it as a major issue.  One of your own 
users would have to attack you, and they would have already been logged. 
Easy to catch them.

II. DESCRIPTION

Remote exploitation of a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in
Ipswitch Inc.'s Imail IMAP server allows attackers to crash the target
service, thereby preventing legitimate use.

The problem specifically exists in handling long arguments to the LIST
command. When a LIST command of approximately 8000 bytes is supplied,
internal string parsing routines can be manipulated in such a way as to
reference non-allocated sections of memory. This parsing error results
in an unhandled access violation, forcing the daemon to exit.

III. ANALYSIS

Exploitation allows remote attackers to crash vulnerable IMAP servers
and thereby prevent legitimate usage. The LIST command is only available
post authentication and therefore valid credentials are required to
exploit this vulnerability.
