I have a half a dozen users who want to use IMAP to read e-mail off of the local
server. I'm reluctant to expose the mail server to the net for 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.
