[Dovecot] director: non standart ports at backends

[Костырев Александр Алексеевич]

Thanks, that worked!

I ended up with:
password_query = select 'y' as proxy, \
NULL AS password, \
'y' as nopassword, \
case '%a' \
when 110  then 2110  \
when 995  then 2995  \
when 143  then 2143  \
when 993  then 2993  \
when 24   then 224   \
when 4190 then 24190 end \
as port, \
case '%a' \
when 995 then 'any-cert' \
when 993 then 'any-cert' end \
as `ssl`;

Looking at your old mails, you seem to be using passdb static for director, but userdb sql? So you could switch to:

passdb {
 driver = sql
 args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
}

password_query = select 'y' as proxy, 'y' as nopassword, if('%a'=143, 1430, 9930) as port

where you'd change the if() to something that handles %s=imap vs %s=pop3 vs %s=lmtp and %a=143 vs %a=993 vs %a=110 vs %a=995. Maybe a "case" statement would be less ugly. Or simply make it a real table in sql. Anyway, that's the basic idea.
