dovecot - Jan 2007 - Disable TLS on port 143?

Hi all,

Is there a way to disable the TLS support provided by Dovecot
on port 143?  I'd like to run SSL on 993, so as far as I can
tell I can't use ssl_disable, since the will disable SSL.
I'm looking for the equivalent of an ssl_disable_tls
setting.

Thanks much,
Jackie

You can use ipchains or your external firewall to disable TLS, though 
why you care, I don't know.  TLS is exactly the same thing as SSL, 
except that the initial connection isn't encrypted (though nothing of 
significance is passed before the connection is upgraded to an encrypted 
one).
