I want to use nginx as a mail proxy.I am new to nginx and need some help
with the configuration, I got some problems.
I want to use Foxmail ,use ngx proxy , this is my configuration.
mail{ #server_name mailProxy;
auth_http localhost:80/php/auth.php;
pop3_capabilities LAST TOP USER PIPELINING UIDL;
pop3_auth plain apop cram-md5;
imap_capabilities IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS;
smtp_capabilities “SIZE 10485760” ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 8BITMIME DSN;
smtp_auth login plain cram-md5;
server{
listen 143;
protocol imap;
proxy on;
}
}
and my auth script using PHP as follow:
<?php
/*
Nginx sends headers as
Auth-User: user
Auth-Pass: password
In php see as HTTP_AUTH_USER HTTP_AUTH_PASS
*/
if(!isset($_SERVER["HTTP_AUTH_USER"]) ||
!isset($_SERVER["HTTP_AUTH_PASS"])){
fail();
}
$uname = $_SERVER["HTTP_AUTH_USER"];
$upass = $_SERVER["HTTP_AUTH_PASS"];
$protocol = $_SERVER["HTTP_AUTH_PROTOCOL"];
$backend_prot = 110;
if($protocol=="imap"){
$backend_prot = 143;
}
if($protocol=="smtp"){
$backend_prot = 25;
}
$backend_ip = "*.*.*.*"; //backend ip
//auth
if(!authuser($uname,$upass)){
fail();
exit;
}
$server_ip = $backend_ip;
pass($server_ip,$backend_prot);
function authuser($user,$pass){
//auth
return true;
}
function fail(){
header("Auth-Status:failed");
exit;
}
function pass($server,$port){
header("Auth-Status:OK");
header("Auth-Server:$server");
header("Auth-Port:$port");
exit;
}
?>
But this does not run,when i use telnet test,as follow
telnet 192.168.42.132 25
Trying 192.168.42.132…

When using SMTP, nginx won’t try to do any authentication against
the backend server, but rather will use XCLIENT command to pass
user credentials, see Module ngx_mail_proxy_module. You have to
instruct your SMTP backend to accept XCLIENT from nginx. When
using Postfix, this can be done with
smtpd_authorized_xclient_hosts:
