I don't use binc-imap, so was reluctant to answer. But nobody else has,
so:

I assume your firewall allows all connections from localhost. If so...

Maybe on the server itself try localhost for <servername> to eliminate
the firewall angle.

So you have a permissions problem for qmail. Do you also have vpopmail
running? If so, you need very particular permissions for the
vpopmail/domains directories.

drwx------  5 vpopmail  vchkpw  512 Dec 14  2003 domains
