Hi Timo, Thanks for getting back to me!
Currently I'm using SQL to check the proxy but the authentication gets passed on to the internal mail server where it authenticates with LDAP. This is my SQL query on the external mail host:
password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, host, destuser, 'Y' AS nopassword, 'Y' AS nologin, 'Y' AS nodelay, 'Y' AS proxy FROM proxy WHERE user = '%u'
I take this as to just check the SQL for the existence of the username then pass the authentication onto the internal server. I tried putting in 'starttls' into the query string but it didn't work. Everything is working but I would just prefer a secure connection for the entire chain. I have my iphone connected via ssl to port 993 on the external mail host but then the proxy (which is now on our internal network) communication with the internal host is not encrypted.

I read the addition to the documentation about dovecot proxy but I'm not sure where to add these variables:
..
ssl=yes: Use SSL and require a valid verified remote certificate.Into your passdb's extra fields. What passdb do you use? http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields has some examples how to use them.
