Overview
Mail Proxy Server using NGINX
Nginx is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. NGINX is highly scalable as well, meaning that its service grows along with its clients traffic.
NGINX can proxy IMAP, POP3 and SMTP protocols to one of the upstream mail servers that host mail accounts and thus can be used as a single endpoint for email clients. This may bring in a number of benefits, such as
Easy scaling the number of mail servers Choosing a mail server basing on different rules, for example, choosing the nearest server basing on a clients IP address Distributing the load among email servers
Mail Proxy Features:
POP3/SMTP/IMAP over SSL/TLS Optimised SSL/TLS for mail Proxy - Faster & more secure Load balance mail server traffic Load balancer in-band health checks Reverse proxy support Test your TCP mail upstream servers Keep-alive and pipelined connections support Access control based Response rate limiting HTTP authentication (LDAP) STARTTLS support TLS/SSL with SNI and OCSP stapling support, via OpenSSL
NGINX can also be used as a cache for static and dynamic content. Increasing the speed for users access.
