Nginx - SMTP no authentication

Server NGINX
1

Hi friends,

Please help me to configure SMTP without authentication on ngnix. I have
even applied the patch, which is given in this url
Mail proxy module - http auth - BUG : bad Auth-Method returned - NGINX - Ruby-Forum . I am running postfix in the
same server and ngnix mail is running in the 225, my configuration looks
like this

mail {

proxy_pass_error_message on;

auth_http  http://127.0.0.1:8080/mail/auth;
xclient    off;

server {
    listen     225;
    protocol   smtp;
    smtp_auth  plain;
}

}

http {
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;

server
{
listen 127.0.0.1:8080;
server_name localhost;

    location = /mail/auth {
        add_header Auth-Status OK;
        add_header Auth-Server 127.0.0.1;
        add_header Auth-Port 22;
      return 200;

    }
}

}

is there anything wrong with my configuration? when i am tring to telnet
to sever to the port 225, i am getting the following

telnet mailserver 225
220 mailserver ESMTP ready
helo
501 5.5.4 Invalid argument
mail from:[email protected]
530 5.7.1 Authentication required

Thanks,

This wasn’t a good idea, patch in question isn’t needed neither
for version mentioned nor for any up to date.

Though this isn’t related to the “problem” you see.

    listen     225;
    protocol   smtp;
    smtp_auth  plain;

“HELO” command requires an “domain” argument. See RFC 5321 for
details.

mail from:[email protected]
530 5.7.1 Authentication required

You configured nginx with “smtp_auth plain” and try to send mail
without authentication. “Authentication required” is expected and
correct reply.
