Hi!

I've got dovecot 1.0.rc15.

I want dovecot to listen only on localhost for imap, and on any interfaces for imaps. So I put the following into my config:

protocol imap {
  listen = 127.0.0.1:143
  ssl_listen = *:10993
  ..
}

dovecot -n correctly reports:
listen: 127.0.0.1:143
ssl_listen: *:10993

But I can still do a 'telnet MY_HOST 143' from the outside,
and 'netstat -pltn | grep dovecot' reports: [ip changed ;)]
tcp  0  0  77.my.ip.253:10993  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  4847/dovecot
tcp  0  0  77.my.ip.253:143    0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  4847/dovecot


Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug?
