I’d love to be able to use this SNI domain name in the Dovecot IMAP proxy for use in the SQL password_query. This would allow the proxy to support multiple IMAP server domains each with their own set of users. And, it would save me money by using only the IP of the proxy for all the IMAP server domains instead of giving each domain a unique IP.
