Does anyone have experience setting up an IMAP proxy for Security that they can share? The scenario is this: You have a mail server (e.g. Exchange) on your internal. Your users have smart phones that they want to be able to connect to imap from an IP. You want to put a proxy in DMZ add some security and proxy IMAP over TLS (port 993) to your mail server. By "add some security" this could be things like check if protocol meets RFC, connecting limiting, additional authentication, etc. Most of the imap proxy info I have found is about deploying proxies for performance or architectural reasons. Looks like the proxies just pass the connection through and don't add security. The ones I've come across are: Cyrus http://www.cyrusimap.org/ ImapProxy http://imapproxy.org/ Nginx http://wiki.nginx.org/Main Perdition http://horms.net/projects/perdition/ Dovecot http://www.dovecot.org/ All suggestions welcome.
