A quick look thorugh imap/*snmp shows a lot of useless accounting, true.
Some of that data would be useful in very particular situations, but that
seems hardly useful enough to warrant the trouble.

Yes, or log it to syslog.  I am not interested on that data, though;
cyrmaster already does all the really useful accounting anyway.  I was
just doing a once-over the snmp stuff in Cyrus to write some sample snmp
data gatherers, and noticed those *snmp files.

True.  As far as I am concerned, it can be removed, though.
