I wanted to enable SSL on some alternate ports so that a limited number of people could try SSL access. But doing so enabled STARTTLS in IMAP, so that all IMAP users got surprised (at least those whose clients attempted to use it automatically).
Maybe, it is the role of the client to disable this automatic use of STARTTLS.
Yes, that is a restatement of the problem. I think I wasn't very clear though. I want to enable imaps and pop3s on alternate ports for a few people to test SSL access (and certificate recognition et al), but disallow STARTTLS on the standard imap port (not on the alternate port) so that all the users who are *not* explicitly accessing the test imaps port do not get exposed to the SSL stuff by accident.
