[Dovecot] Per-namespace proxying?
Hello,
Searching in the archives, I saw the following posting from Timo Sirainen:
[Dovecot] Roadmap to future (06 Dec 2007): [...]
Proxying
These could be implemented to v1.2. - Log in normally (no proxying) if destination IP is the server itself.
Support for per-namespace proxying:
namespace public { prefix = Public/ location = proxy:public.example.org }
There are two choices for this: Dummy IMAP proxying or handling it with a mail storage backend. Dummy IMAP proxying would just let the remote server whose mailbox is currently selected handle most of the commands and their replies. I'm just afraid that this will become problematic in future.
... (continues)
Was this feature ever implemented? Is it in the 1.2 alphas?
On a related note, were virtual mailboxes implemented?
Thanks,
Van
