Thanks, that's a useful idea. Actually, I've settled on starting a second 
lmtp listener on the backend, this one with authentication. It requires me 
to use a separate port, but that seems to work ok.

Presumably I need to authenticate using the values of
    proxy_authname:
and
    proxy_password:
as defined in imapd.conf?


Hmm, anyone else considering trying this on a live service should make sure 
that soft_noauth: is enabled. Otherwise, you'll reject email deliveries in 
the event that your authentication fails.
