Assuming you are talking about my idea that IMAP have an outgoing mail 
extension and copies the outgoing message to the sent folder.

After dovecot receives he outgoing message it will just do an SMTP 
connection to a server that is set up to receive it and relay it.

smtpserver = 1.2.3.4
copyfolder = sent

Is this what you are asking?
