Plain or SSL depending on regexp

Hi folks,

I'm trying to use Perdition + ImapProxy for a webmail system (I need both of them because Perdition supports multiple backend servers, while ImapProxy supports connection caching).

The idea is, when one logs in to IMAP, my webmail will send a login request like this to ImapProxy:

    LOGIN [email protected]:port fooPassword

ImapProxy will send it to Perdition (running on the same host).  Using the regexp map library, Perdition will forward this request to imap.host.com:port, logging in as "foo" with the given password.

So far so good.  Now the problem is that some folks use SSL while others don't.  The line Webmail ---> ImapProxy should always be plain, as well as the line ImapProxy ---> Perdition; however, from Perdition to the backend server the line should be encrypted.

In short, my question is that this can be achieved using the regex maps, say, for instance, that the Webmail will append a "!" character to the user:

    LOGIN [email protected]:port! fooPassword

and in this case, using the regex map, I would like to indicate to Perdition that it should use SSL for outgoing socket.  Is this possible?

Thank you,
-Mihai
