Question
Nginx, Proxy, and Mail Service
- Posted August 18, 2014
Hello, when I setup my config that way: User -> Internet -> Proxy <-> My Server How I need to change settings on the Proxy (wich is nginx) to pass also and the emails, so it will proxy all, sites (port 80, 443) and email which is send from my server to my costumers? For mail server I just use sendmail, wich will use php for sending email itself, because don’t need full mail server, just that my site can handle sending messages from my server to my customers… Thanks.

NginX can proxy mail, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. Here are some resources:

Nginx can be used to act as a reverse proxy for web services. This guide will assist you in setting that up. To the best of my knowledge, nginx can not proxy mail services.
