My  "man imapd.conf" doesn't list this option at all. I think my Cyrus 2.5.10 is older than it..

But I've added it to the .conf anyway. Won't hurt if it doesn't exist yet, right? lol

Yes I've read imapd.conf and cyrus.conf and found no options to limit
connections per source IP or "idleness"..

It means anyone can open a lot of connections to any port (143, 25, 110 etc)
and render the server unusable??
You can try to set
imapidletimeout: <minutes>
as documented in "man imapd.conf".

To keep your server "RFC friendly" this value should not be lower than 30
minutes, because RFC 2177:3. recommends that clients show activity at least
every 29 minutes.
