Right.

Ah, I was thinking, the connection AFTER authentication is done directly.
Hmmm, so the courier-proxy must be realy performant
if all traffic goes though...
I was searchin for somethin like:
smtp auth -> mail.mydomain.tld
smtp (from clients) -> mail.mydomain.tld
imap/pop3 auth -> mail.mydomain.tld
imap/pop3 -> countrybox.mydomain.tld
Hmmm, and what if I change the setup that
smtp auth -> mail.mydomain.tld
smtp (from clients) -> mail.mydomain.tld
($USER should use asmtp to send messages via <mail.mydomain.tld>)
imap/pop3 auth -> mbox-<CID>.mydomain.tld
imap/pop3 -> mbox-<CID>.mydomain.tld
($USER can connect directly to his/her country-mailbox)
which mean, that incoming mails for e.g.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
coming into <mail.mydomain.tld> are forwarded to the mailbox
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have read the documentation but not found the right part,
how to forward $USER to a specific mbox-server.
