Re: Remote IP address in dovecot

Hello,

I am using a webmail, SOGo, to access Dovecot mail server in IMAP.

SOGo correctly logs the remote IP address, using the standard nginx headers, especially X-Forwarded-For.

However, when I check the IMAP logs, I see my server's IP address for the "remote_ip" value.

I think there is a way to override this value from the environment, but I could not find it.

Thanks for your help,

SOGo has support for this, see https://github.com/Alinto/sogo/commit/256b679798404db77fa85b53df6bcf815c8e40...

On dovecot side, be sure to set

login_trusted_networks = ip-address(es)-of-sogo

even if it's 127.0.0.1
