Hi to all I have some *production* pop3/inappropriate server that i would like to move under a proxy
Some questions: proxied through the proxy.
Keeping the same original hostname on the proxy (in example mail.mydomain.tld) and changing the hostname on the imap server, makes some troubles like MUA redownloading all the messages? Is dovecot (running on the imap server) happy seeing the hostname change? What about maildirs, where the hostname is wrote on the mail file?
Dovecot proxy will proxy the whole pop3/imap traffic or only the login auth? I don't want to expose the mailservers to internet, all imap session must be
this because I'll use local IPs on each mail server.
Any advice on this, particurally on question 2 ? The only way to get the real mailserver IP address is doing a succesfull auth via proxy or even in case of login failure the response is caming from the real mail server ?
