Good day.
I am trying to build a rather weird setup. The basic idea is to have a relatively simple IMAP client and let dovecot do the actual connections. So far both the documentation and my trials on this front have been rather fruitless.
The desired components:
- 1 dovecot server, acting as a proxy
- 1 master account
- 1 client connection
- 0 "real" user accounts, so no local mail storage at all
- N real accounts, spread over different domains
- mails from different remote accounts combined to the single client connection
- outgoing server for mails selected by the address of the remote account
Since the proxy setup can use name@domain.tld as destination user, it would appear that the setup is not impossible. Hence my two questions:
- Is it possible?
- If yes, how in the name of all that is good and holy do I configure that?
And believe me, I am fully aware that for most setups a full-featured client or fetchmail would be the easier path.
Thank you for any and all help in advance,
