Hello,
I am having hard times trying to get nginx proxy pop,imap and smtp to
localhost and remote mail hosts.
it works fine for the http part but not for mail proxying.
nginx seems to be listening to the standard ports but doesn’t forward to
the back end server as expected.
The debian package doesn’t include the mail modules , so I compiled from
th 0.6.29 source.
I think I am missing something in the configuration at the
authentication stage.
Do I need to configure the module auth somewhere ? it doesn’t exist in
the source or in the cgi-bin directory.
I also tried to use the php script that is given as an example but I am
getting errors on the script
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{’ in /var/www/auth.php on
line 28.
Removing the unexpected brackets introduce an error at the next line of
the script
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /var/www/auth.php on
line 37
if anyone can share his experience with the setup of a reverse pop/imap
proxy I would be delighted.
thanks for your help
