Well, since the messages relate to "imap" one can easily eliminate sendmail.

I don't used horde or imp, yet you may want to post your xinted.conf for
others to take a peek at and you may want to check with the horde and imp
folks.  Also, is there only one IP address showing this?  What do you get
when you type "host 204.111.40.3"?  Could be that the logging is trying to
do a reverse lookup of the IP and it is failing.
