Is there something in LDAP that defines who may or may not have  
access?  If so, you can modify the LDAP search so only the authorized  
users are returned, e.g.:

	(&(uid=$uid)(something=imap))

Does this make sense?

Or, ... taking a look at:

	http://idms.rutgers.edu/ldap/authn-authz.shtml

it seems that the Rutgers LDAP servers have a pretty robust, per- 
application authorization model.
