The goal of nginx imap proxy is to route client's connections to different backends, which is very different from what imapproxy does. It's more like a perdition. If you want nginx to just proxy all connections to a predefined backend server, you may use something like location = /mailauth { add_header Auth-Status OK; add_header Auth-Server 127.0.0.1; add_header Auth-Port 8143; add_header Auth-Wait 1; return 204; } as a dummy auth script. -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/en/donation.html _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
