Note that if you use imap-ssl (port 993) there is no problem, but if you use plain imap (or TLS, via port 143) you will have problems. fetchmail will talk to port 993, everything else (to my knowledge) uses port 143. Also, mermaid doesn't require the .imaprc workaround as it appears to have a really old imapd installed. I recommend careful examination of the output of 'apt-show-versions -u' on all the debian boxen, as there are a large number of packages from testing and unstable that have newer versions available, including libc-client (though this won't catch packages that have disappeared from the archive altogether, such as imap on mermaid).

Homepages are actually served from mermaid, so a simple .htaccess "allow from" won't work. There is a header (X-Forwarded-For) which you might be able to use, unsure how well .htaccess does that.
