Nginx mail proxy and TLS connection to the real mail server

C

22 Feb '23

Hello,

I setup a Nginx mail proxy and I would like mail clients to connect to it without TLS and then the Nginx proxy to connect to the real mail server using TLS.

Is this possible?

Kind regards,
Christos Chatzaras

Short answer is no.  The proxy_ssl_* family directives are available
for ngx_http_proxy and ngx_stream_proxy modules only.

Thank you for the reply. Finally I did it by combining the Nginx mail proxy with multiple Stunnels.
