IMAP and POP3 servers now include a built-in proxy aggregator. With a proxy aggregator, the mail accounts are split between multiple, independent servers, with an IMAP/POP3 server running on each individual server. A separate, proxy server sits in front and accepts ordinary IMAP and POP3 connections. It reads the login ID, determines which server the account is located on, connects to the server, and logs in. Then, for the lifetime on the login session the front-end server takes itself out of the loop, and forwards all session traffic between the IMAP/POP3 client, and the back-end serveIMAP/POP3 proxy mode only when the Courier Authentication Library uses the userdb, LDAP, MySQL, or the PostgreSQL authentication module. Challenge-Response (CRAM) authentication will also work with the LDAP, MySQL, or the PostgreSQL authentication module. Yes, CRAM authentication will work (except for userdb).r.
