And, you could add these to your crontab ('crontab -e') or root's
with the special string "@reboot" pre-pended, and it would work.
But, that's not "by the book", just an illustration of how
the 'Nix philosophy "tools, not policy" still applies.

I would expect that the format would be the same as the other
daemons, e.g.:
zope28_enable="YES"
Similar with whatever you decide to name the imapd script.
For a full discussion, see rc(8), rc.conf(5), rc.subr(8),
rcorder(8), etc.
