Hi,
I'm testing/using dovecot as imap proxy, passdb/userdb as passwd-like-file. It seems to function as expected (1). This setup is described in the wiki in AuthSpecials. But I also noticed in the documentation (ImapProxy / FeatLoginProxy pages) that the proxy feature only works with a sql passdb. Maybe I did something strange, but passwd-like-passdb does work.....
So I have some questions: Is the documentation wrong? Is the documentation right? ;-) Are there reasons not to use dovecot this way (other than scalability / maintainability)? Are there bugs I've not yet seen? (am I the only one using dovecot this way?)
Well, earlier it wasn't possible to return the host, proxy option etc. with anything else than SQL userdb. But nowadays it's possible with passwd-file also..
