IMAP: Unexpected Argument

This protocol anomaly triggers when it detects an IMAP command with too many arguments. This can indicate a non-standard IMAP client or command line access to an IMAP server.

Extended Description

A protocol anomaly exists when an IMAP message contains an invalid tag. Receiving such a malformed IMAP message may indicate a non-standard IMAP client, or a command line access attempt to an IMAP server. The impact depends on how an IMAP server handles specially crafted messages.
