in your ssl config, you can specify/override ssl reqt's for individual protocols.

e.g.

...
protocol imap {
	ssl_verify_client_cert       = yes
	auth_ssl_require_client_cert = no
	ssl                          = required
}

protocol submission {
	ssl_verify_client_cert       = yes
	auth_ssl_require_client_cert = no
	ssl                          = required
}
...


of course, change those^ params to your specific reqt's
