The problem here is that systemd apparently starts services from PID 1,
and there was a check in the code to make sure the parent wasn't PID 1
because in other contexts, that would have meant the parent was already
detached and imapproxy was in fact daemonized already.

I removed that check which fixes this issue, hoping that that it wasn't
really feasible in any other context that the code could have come to
try to re-daemonize anyway.

I'll probably add this unit file as well:


[Unit]
Description=SquirrelMail IMAP proxy server
After=network.target network-online.target local-fs.target syslog.target
remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/in.imapproxyd
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
