Directives
Syntax:
proxy_buffer size;
Default:
proxy_buffer 4k|8k;
Context:
mail, server
Sets the size of the buffer used for proxying. By default, the buffer size is equal to one memory page. Depending on a platform, it is either 4K or 8K.
Syntax:
proxy_pass_error_message on | off;
Default:
proxy_pass_error_message off;
Context:
mail, server
Indicates whether to pass the error message obtained during the authentication on the backend to the client.
Usually, if the authentication in nginx is a success, the backend cannot return an error. If it nevertheless returns an error, it means some internal error has occurred. In such case the backend message can contain information that should not be shown to the client. However, responding with an error for the correct password is a normal behavior for some POP3 servers. For example, CommuniGatePro informs a user about mailbox overflow or other events by periodically outputting the authentication error. The directive should be enabled in this case.
Syntax:
proxy_protocol on | off;
Default:
proxy_protocol off;
Context:
mail, server
This directive appeared in version 1.19.8.
Enables the PROXY protocol for connections to a backend.
Syntax:
proxy_smtp_auth on | off;
Default:
proxy_smtp_auth off;
Context:
mail, server
This directive appeared in version 1.19.4.
Enables or disables user authentication on the SMTP backend using the AUTH command.
If XCLIENT is also enabled, then the XCLIENT command will not send the LOGIN parameter.
Syntax:
proxy_timeout timeout;
Default:
proxy_timeout 24h;
Context:
mail, server
Sets the timeout between two successive read or write operations on client or proxied server connections. If no data is transmitted within this time, the connection is closed.
Syntax:
xclient on | off;
Default:
xclient on;
Context:
mail, server
Enables or disables the passing of the XCLIENT command with client parameters when connecting to the SMTP backend.
With XCLIENT, the MTA is able to write client information to the log and apply various limitations based on this data.
If XCLIENT is enabled then nginx passes the following commands when connecting to the backend:
EHLO with the server name
XCLIENT
EHLO or HELO, as passed by the client
If the name found by the client IP address points to the same address, it is passed in the NAME parameter of the XCLIENT command. If the name could not be found, points to a different address, or resolver is not specified, the [UNAVAILABLE] is passed in the NAME parameter. If an error has occurred in the process of resolving, the [TEMPUNAVAIL] value is used.
If XCLIENT is disabled then nginx passes the EHLO command with the server name when connecting to the backend if the client has passed EHLO, or HELO with the server name, otherwise.
