I have a half a dozen users who want to use IMAP to

obvious reasons and I'm looking for a proxy I can use to improve security
just a little bit.
All I need is SSL for the input to the proxy. It would be nice if I could
use one password for the proxy and another password for the user's
account. It would also be nice if I could use SSL between the proxy and
the IMAP server.
It looks like perdition can fill some of my needs but I just wanted a
confirmation make sure my reading skills were up to snuff
SSL_mode looks like it contains everything a need for inbound and
outbound SSL
outgoing_server lets me specify the target server if I don't have a
database of users. I assume this means that the user password coming in
is the same used by the IMAP server itself.
that looks like it should cover what I need if I'm interpreting things
correctly.
Hi Eric,
perdition has all of the features that you mention, except
being able to use a different password on the proxy and the real-server.
This feature would be possible to add if you really need it. You
are correct in assuming that as thing stands perdition just passes
the password read from the end-user on to the real-server.
