http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1394 Summary: Proxy Protocol Support Product: Exim Version: N/A Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: wishlist Priority: medium Component: Delivery in general AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Please consider adding support for Proxy Protocol. Details of the protocol can be found at the following two URLs: http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt http://blog.exceliance.fr/haproxy/proxy-protocol/ It should be possible to specify in the config file which hosts can be trusted for Proxy Protocol support. E.g: proxy_protocol_hosts = +somehostlist I found one other person asking about this on the Exim users list back in April: https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20130421.224420.5138fc89.en.html One use case: You're using Amazon EC2 and wish to use their Elastic Load Balancer in front of Exim. Without Proxy Protocol support, Exim would only see the IP address of the ELB host, and not the actual connecting hosts IP. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
