Default uw-imap connection timeout

Folks,
I'm having trouble connecting to the uw-imap-2007e-plaintext (installed via package on OpenBSD 4.5) on TCP110 and TCP143. The problem exists connecting both locally and remotely.

My attempts to eliminate firewall issues lead me to capture packets during connection attempts. The packet capture indicates that the connection is established and then the server issues DNS lookups for _kerberos.<serverFQDN> which are not being answered. I don't want to authenticate using kerberos, but rather plaintext authentication (I'm installing squirrelmail on the same box). I'm assuming that this attempt to resolve the kerberos server is the problem.

I guess I'm asking if there is an easy way to disable Kerberos authentication and only use plaintext authentication. I'm happy to resort to ports instead of packages, but I'm hoping there is a simple solution.

regards,
Andrew
