I am having nodejs SMTP server which I made using module “smtp-server”. It is running locally at 127.0.0.1:9001 using pm2 module and I wanted to know how can i configure it with nginx. Currently I am reffering to this site: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/mail-proxy/mail-proxy/
I ran complete example they gave me which is as follows:
worker_processes auto;
mail {
server_name mail.example.com;
auth_http localhost:9000/cgi-bin/nginxauth.cgi;
proxy_pass_error_message on;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/certs/server.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_session_timeout 10m;
server {
listen 25;
protocol smtp;
smtp_auth login plain cram-md5;
}
server {
listen 110;
protocol pop3;
pop3_auth plain apop cram-md5;
}
server {
listen 143;
protocol imap;
}
}
I wanted to know how to connnect my nodejs smtp server to nginx as the code above does not ask anywhere for url to smtp server.

Hi there,
The Nginx Mail proxy is only available with NGINX Plus. Do you have NGINX Plus installed or do you have the standard NGINX service instead?
If this is the case, you would need to start by following the steps here on how to install NGINX Plus in order to get that to work:
https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/installing-nginx/installing-nginx-plus/
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
