umm... not exactly. It blocks by port and while imap and imaps use the
same daemon they are different services on separate ports. (143 for imap
and 993 for imaps I think).

Just try blocking one service for all clients then portscan the box and
see what services are left open. Don't forget to restart inetd/xinetd if
you change your tcpwrapper configuration :)
