Restrictive access to some users
Hi, On our cyrus server some users need access from office as well as from outside our LAN. So we nat the imap port on our firewall and people are able to access But Contract employees need not access mails from outside the office.

That doesn't fix the problem because you can't say which user can log in
on what interface.
But you could maybe do it like this:
two different imapd.confs. In one of them you use a different saslauthd
(if you would be using this) socket. And run a second saslauthd with
different config.
