I'm sorry, I should have quoted the output instead of interpreting 
it. <IP address> is the address for the mail server. 
	<IP address>.143        <IP address>.1240       ESTABLISHED
	<IP address>.1240       <IP address>.143        ESTABLISHED
	<IP address>.143        *.*                     LISTEN
That what it says right now. At other times, you can see 
connections from other computers.

The output doesn't change if I set
	imap_listen = <server name>.143
or
	imap_listen = *
