It basically acts as a front-end to your normal MTA. First of all, it provides a convenient way to add SMTP AUTH support to any MTA. But the main goal for this project is to implement an SMTP submission server with full support for the LEMONADE profile (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4550). It acts as a proxy server, so it doesn't queue anything; once the client sees a success reply for the message submission, it is already accepted in the actual MTA queue.
I have one remark and one question:
Remark: Don't forget XCLIENT / XFORWARD support to help the "real" MTA understand who it's really talking to.
XCLIENT is already implemented. But, afaik, this is only supported by Postfix. I also noticed a problem with XCLIENT LOGIN=<user>. Even when that is specified, Postfix doesn't allow relaying for a client authenticated through Dovecot submission. I am still not sure what I am messing up there (I did configure smtp_recipient_restrictions correctly I believe).
What is XFORWARD good for? It looks very similar, but focused on dealing with mail filter intermediaries. I don't think this applies here.
It forwards the META data for logging purposes and is useful to create consistent logging.
