I am sick of this kind of idiotic advice on LIH. How is the antivirus
going to help stop a scan on port 143???

To the OP: You might want to install a good firewall product in front of
your IMAP server, and use a better imap product that uw-imapd. Also,
RedHat 7.1 is pretty old, and is a ticking bomb.

You might want to upgrade to RedHat 7.3 + Updates and Courier IMAP.
