Hi,<br>
<br>
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.....<br>
<br>
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?)<br>
<br>
thanks-in-advance,<br>
