Thanks everyone for their great input! I think I'll document all these
things.

I have used this before;;;
Turn off IMAP: (thanks to shimi on the cobalt-security list)
#vi or pico /etc/inetd.conf
(do a search for imap and comment out this line:)
#imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd
Restart the inet server:
# killall -HUP inetd
# vi or pico /usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/services/services.cgi
Change this line:
$ret=Cobalt::swatch::swatch_set_service_on("imap");
To this:
$ret=Cobalt::swatch::swatch_set_service_off("imap");
Now go into the GUI's Control Panel and just hit the 'Save Changes'
button.
This keeps Active Monitor from grumbling about IMAP being turned off.
