Client-ip mail proxy

Server NGINX
1

hi,

i’ve setup pop3/imap4 proxy using nginx recently, everything work great,
unless i cannot obtain client ip address, i’m using external auth_http
server run on apache/php.

How do i forward client ip from nginx to apache auth server? something
like ‘X-Forwarded-For’ in http reverse proxy.
this is what i have done so far by adding auth_http_header

mail {
…
…

   server {
         protocol    pop3;
         listen      110;
         starttls    on;
         auth_http_header X-Auth-Client-IP $remote_addr;
   }

}

i still seeing nginx ip address in apache log
i need some enlightenment here

TIA

A client IP is sent in “Client-IP” header by default.
