MUA would have to support both of those URLAUTH and BURL extensions, so that it can register a temporary URL on the IMAP server, then connect to SMTP server and give that URL to BURL command (instead of sending the mail with DATA command).
So from MUA's point of view it's basically the same as before: save to IMAP and after that send via SMTP.
Ah, ok... well, honestly, this would probably be the 'ideal' solution, but I don't see it happening anytime soon, if ever...
Yeah, he probably isn't interested in adding IMAP client support for Postfix, although it could be pretty basic support.
No worries... apparently this is completely doable using postfix, dovecot, dovecot's LDA, and sieve... not quite as simple as just defining a new 'dovecot LSA proxy', but still doable.
Last ditch effort/comment - maybe a 'dovecot LSA proxy' would be useful for more than just this? But you never answered as to whether or not such a thing is even remotely feasible, much less doable in the real world...
