I’m sure this has been asked before, but I Googled the list archives  
and only came up with some old stuff that involved a patch.

I’d like to use Nginx as an IMAP proxy between the internet and an  
Exchange 2000 server, on port 143, using TLS,

There is only one Exchange server.

Does anybody have a config that they would be willing to share?

Thanks!

Terry

Hi Terry,

Do you mean TLS to the Exchange server as well? Nginx does not  
support backend encryption. We are using stunnel on the backend  
to provide that function.

Cheers,
