I could probably give that a try, but I'll have a hard time convincing folks
to do that until after 2.0 has out of beta for a bit. Maybe after summer
term then... October or so? I can certainly start testing it in advance of
that though.

No, just the one for each right now. I haven't figured out how to do that
yet ;) Just multiple imap-login/pop3-login blocks with different
inet_listener addresses?

How do I tell different login services to use different auth backends? Is it
the first argument to the login process executable? So like:

service imap-login {
  executable = imap-login auth-proxy
  inet_listener imaps {
    address = 1.2.3.4
  }
}

I'm still trying to grok what all the different config bits mean and imply.
