In 'imp/templates/login/login.inc' there are several hidden form fields that
expose potentially sensitive network information - including the private IP
address of the mail server, TCP port number, mail protocol, and whether TLS
is on or off. There's no need for this data to be sent to clients, other
than for programmers' convenience.

        <input type="hidden" name="server" value="10.100.0.23" />
        <input type="hidden" name="port" value="143" />
