Subject: slackware IMAP security fix

from the slackware-current changelog

n1/imapd.tgz:  Upgraded to IMAP4rev1 2000.287 from pine4.33.
   (* Security fix *)  A remote exploit exists for the previously
   included version of imapd, so all sites running imapd are urged
   to upgrade to the new version immediately.  Note that imapd
   has been installed to run by default in previous versions of
   Slackware, including 7.1.
