If I understand this right, than all traffic is routed VIA this proxy.
Right ?

Which mean, if the proxy is located in e.g. Morocco and there is a
local network in France ($USER + Mailbox-Server) the request and
the traffic goes via the proxy in Morocco?

It is not a simpel redirect/hint where the Mailbox-Server is to find?

If this is right, it will be better for the Clients (and my Setup)
if the clints connect directly to there Mailbox-Server. Right?

So the Flow-Diagram will be for receiving Messages:

                         postgresql
                             |
                             |for the Mailbox-Server lookup
someone sends                |
Message from  ---->---- mx.domain.tld ---->---- mbox-ma.domain.tld
the World            which is in Morocco



and geting Messages from IMAP/POP via proxy

                       postgresql
                           |
                           |for the Mailbox-Server lookup
                           |
$USER  +---->------- mx.domain.tld ----->---+
in                 /      in       \         mbox-fr.domain.tld
France +----<-----+     Morocco     +---<---+   in France



and for geting messages without proxy

$USER +--->--- mbox-ma.domain.tld

Another person had told me that it would be better if I use an
ISP in Euro for the Mailservices but I do not know, because my
$USER will increase and I do not like to put 1.000.000 $USER
or more in the Hand of an external ISP.

I think, if I have more then 60.000 $USER, than it is required
to use a cluster of MailServers, because Security and Performance.
