DESCRIPTION

       Binc IMAP is an IMAP server for Maildir type mailboxes. It is well
       known for being easy to install, use and maintain.

       Binc IMAP is invoked by sslserver in order to achieve TLS and/or
       StartTLS capabilities for the required confidentiality.

       Binc IMAP is unique because of its simple, yet powerful invocation
       pipeline. This simple system makes it easy to have Binc IMAP do exactly
       what you want.

       The invocation pipeline consists of the following parts:

       bincimap-up
           Is a stub to start the IMAP session, configuring the service
           options, calling the authenticator, and finally invoking the
           bincimapd server.

       qmail-authuser
           is the versatile PAM communicating with different user
           authentication backends and setting up the required USER
           envrionment variable. Other PAMs, like checkpassword.pl can be used
           instead.

       bincimapd
           implements the IMAP interface to the user's <maildepot> by name
           which could be a Maildir++ or IMAPdir structured.
