Dovecot Proxy and Director
Hi, just a simple question: by using a directory and a proxy, I would be able to totally hide the pop3/imap server ip addresses from outside? I'm asking this because I would like to hide the real server IP for security reasosn (DDoS and so on).
The proxy would be placed on servers with high bandwidth while the pop3/imap dovecot servers are placed in a small datacenter that would go down easily in case of attack

You could use private ip addresses backends so you don't even need to expose them to internet at all.

This means creating a VPN between my local DC with Dovecot servers and the cloud service provider with proxies.
