Sorry about the barrage of new bug reports. Here's a new init.d script that will close this bug. Since imapproxy forks away without creating a pid file, it is now necessary to require that foreground_mode be set to yes in /etc/imapproxy.conf. Please update the example imapproxy.conf to reflect this.
This script also fixes a problem I noticed where starting imapproxy from an SSH session would cause the SSH client to hang on logout. -- Jacob Elder
