Directives
| Syntax: |
smtp_auth |
|---|---|
| Default: |
smtp_auth login plain; |
| Context: |
mail, server |
Sets permitted methods of SASL authentication for SMTP clients. Supported methods are:
login- AUTH LOGIN
plain- AUTH PLAIN
cram-md5- AUTH CRAM-MD5. In order for this method to work, the password must be stored unencrypted.
external- AUTH EXTERNAL (1.11.6).
none- Authentication is not required.
| Syntax: |
smtp_capabilities |
|---|---|
| Default: | — |
| Context: |
mail, server |
Sets the SMTP protocol extensions list
that is passed to the client in response to the
EHLO command.
The authentication methods specified in the smtp_auth directive and
STARTTLS
are automatically added to this list depending on the
starttls directive value.
It makes sense to specify the extensions supported by the MTA to which the clients are proxied (if these extensions are related to commands used after the authentication, when nginx transparently proxies the client connection to the backend).
The current list of standardized extensions is published at www.iana.org.
| Syntax: |
smtp_client_buffer |
|---|---|
| Default: |
smtp_client_buffer 4k|8k; |
| Context: |
mail, server |
Sets the size of the buffer used for reading SMTP commands.
By default, the buffer size is equal to one memory page.
This is either 4K or 8K, depending on a platform.
| Syntax: |
smtp_greeting_delay |
|---|---|
| Default: |
smtp_greeting_delay 0; |
| Context: |
mail, server |
Allows setting a delay before sending an SMTP greeting in order to reject clients who fail to wait for the greeting before sending SMTP commands.
