Well, here's attempts at a couple :-)

What's the IMAP server? You can do this, but how will depend partly on
the IMAP server.

The way I'd do it would be to have a class defined in your sendmail.cf
that maps to a hash map, and then populate that with a list of the
domains you want procmail processing for. You can then have sendmail
select procmail as the local delivery agent for those addresses. It;s
then procmail's job to perform final delivery. This may involve procmail
invoking yet another helper program to perform final delivery, if the
IMAP server uses a mailstore format that procmail doesn't understand
(i.e. cyrus).

Sendmail makes this sort of stuff relatively easy - you can have as many
local delivery agents as you like, and set them all up to do different
processing on the messages if you like.

It's telling you the the common name presented in the IMAPS server's
certificate did not match the DNS name of the machine. You'll probably
need to regenerate the SSL cert to fix this. If it's a commercialy
signed cert, this may cost....
