TLS for proxy IMAP connections

[Andrew Morgan]

I run a standard Cyrus Murder on v2.4.16.  When I have "allowplaintext:0" 
on my frontends and "allowplaintext:1" on my backends, the frontends will 
not use TLS when proxying the connection to a backend, even if the 
frontend connection from the client used TLS or SSL.

When I set "allowplaintext:0" on the backend, then the frontend will use 
TLS for the proxy connection.

Shouldn't the frontend attempt to use TLS for the proxy connection if 
STARTTLS is advertised?

On a related note, will a frontend ever make an IMAP-SSL proxy connection 
to a backend?  I ask because I want to set my maxchild parameter correctly 
on my backends.  Right now, all connections seem to be proxied to the 
"imap" service and none are made on the "imaps" service.

Thanks,
 	Andy
