I see the proxies as the first line of defense against IMAP "abuse" and I think it's consistent having the same configurable option available on both backends and the proxies.

No plans to support enforcing at proxy level. One problem here is that there are no guarantees that the connections even end up in the same proxies, although I guess if your load balancer does IP stickiness that could work well enough.
