Run two imapd instances from cyrus.conf, one on a high port that you
firewall from everywhere but the squirrelmail server, and the other
config on the standard port deny plaintext.  Then just point
squirrelmail at the high port in its config.

You just need to specify "-C /etc/imapd-sm.conf" or something for the
squirrelmail one.  Personally I would generate both from a template
stored in version control.
