dovecot - Aug 2013 - SMTP Proxy

Hi,

     I have found a message on this mailing list dated August/2012 in 
which is said that dovecot could not (at least at that time) do SMTP 
Authentication using Proxy Features.

http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-August/067998.html

     is this still true, given i'm using latest stable dovecot, v2.2.5 ?

     extra informations ... smtp authentication is done by postfix using:

dovecot:

service auth {

    unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
     mode = 0660
     user = postfix
     group = postfix
     }
}


postfix:

smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth



     Thanks !

I believe it is.

A bit of extra information which might help: what is the goal? 
Exactly what problem are you trying to solve? You have given us 
nothing to go on here.
