non-encrypted for local queries

[Raphael Jaffey]

Use the following as the only "imapd" command configured in 
/etc/cyrus.conf to accept connections from localhost only:

imap          cmd="imapd" listen="[127.0.0.1]:imap" prefork={number}

You can restrict access to hosts from the LAN without using the firewall 
using at least a couple of methods:

1) Assuming cyrus was compiled with libwrap support, you can restrict 
access to the imap service in /etc/hosts.allow (or /etc/hosts.deny).

2) If the LAN you mentioned below is private (no access from other 
subnets and networks), you can use the following in /etc/cyrus.conf in 
addition to the entry I mentioned above:

imap          cmd="imapd" listen="[{LAN-interface-address}]:imap" 
prefork={number}
