Hi!
</div>
<div>

<div>
I have a few questions regarding Dovecot proxy:
</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
1.
</div>
<div>
1.1 If I understand correctly, setting 'nopassword' in the proxy passdb file, authentication is completely up to the destination host. Setting 'nopassword' in no way means the proxy becomes an open relay. Is this correct?

You still control where it proxies to.

1.2 Are there any security implications when using 'nopassword' on the proxy?

As long as its really a proxy, probably no.

2.1 I would like to avoid having to store all users in a passdb file on the proxy. I would much rather specify a domain for which Dovecot proxy will route all users to a specific host. Is there a way to let Dovecot proxy route to a destination host based on domain, so individual users don't have to be specified in the proxy passdb?
</div>
<div>
2.2 Is it correct that userdb does not have any effect on proxying and it can be left out of the config? Source: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-October/093138.html (point 2)

userdb is ignored on proxies. For your usecase try following
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
passdb {
</div>
<div>
driver = passwd-file
</div>
<div>
args = username_format=%Ld /etc/dovecot/domains.passwd
</div>
<div>
}
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
and into domains.passwd
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
domain.com::::::: nopassword proxy host=host1
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
colon count might be wrong
