Hi,
I have a Dovecot proxy setup with several proxy machines (currently running 2.3.11.3) in front of the real Dovecot servers (2.3.10.1) storing the mailboxes. "doveconf -a | egrep lip" returns: login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c session=<%{session}>
In the real server maillog I'm expecting to have "lip" replaced with the IP address of the proxy. It works as expected for imap-login processes, however for pop3-login processes I still see the real server IP instead of the proxy IP. Ideas?
Regards,
Hi Adi
in general people want to get the original ip not the proxied ip. The proxying of the original ip is done by a different method for imap and pop3

However, unless I'm reading this wrongly, both methods are affected by trusted_networks settings. I guess for people to help further, you'd need to give more info your configuration settings.
