Usage: imapfront-auth PROGRAM [ ARGS ... ]

imapfront-auth provides IMAP authentication using CVM modules. The LOGIN command is authenticated via the CVM named by $CVM_SASL_PLAIN. If authentication succeeds, it sets up the environment and executes PROGRAM. It also offers RFC 1734 compliant AUTH support through cvm-sasl. The environment is set up for use with Courier IMAP.

Connections are timed out after $AUTH_TIMEOUT (or $TIMEOUT if that is not set) seconds of inactivity (defaults to 1200 seconds or 20 minutes), or $AUTH_SESSION_TIMEOUT (or $SESSION_TIMEOUT if that is not set) seconds after the connection was established (defaults to 86400 seconds or 24 hours).
