We're planning to use a passwd-file for an extra passdb containing things like: <username>::<uid>:<gid>::::destuser=<username> host=<proxied server ip> port=143 nodelay=n nologin=y proxy=y
nologin and nodelay shouldn't be needed anymore. Also port=143 is the default with IMAP (and with POP3 that'll cause POP3 connections to be proxied there too).
Dovecot uses the proxying feature itself for SSL connections, so it should be pretty robust.
Actually the imap/pop3 proxying code doesn't share code with SSL proxying code.
