[Dovecot] Disconnects with proxies / new facts

[Michael Kress]

I think I excluded all other cases now, because I installed cyrus-imapd 
and succeeded with a proxy between client and server. So there's 
definitely an issue with dovecot and the Avira AntiVir proxy. How can I 
succeed in getting dovecot working? May I help you with some debugging?
