Runtime issues to be aware of: + - Since the real connections are all coming from your proxy, and the + per host connection tracking is done before Proxy Protocol is + evaluated, smtp_accept_max_per_host must be set high enough to + handle all of the parallel volume you expect per inbound proxy. + - The proxy has 3 seconds (hard-coded in the source code) to send the + required Proxy Protocol header after it connects. If it does not, + the response to any commands will be: + "503 Command refused, required Proxy negotiation failed" + - If the incoming connection is configured in Exim to be a Proxy + Protocol host, but the proxy is not sending the header, the banner + does not get sent until the timeout occurs. If the sending host + sent any input (before the banner), this causes a standard Exim + synchronization error (i.e. trying to pipeline before PIPELINING + was advertised). + - This is not advised, but is mentioned for completeness if you have + a specific internal configuration that you want this: If the Exim + server only has an internal IP address and no other machines in your + organization will connect to it to try to send email, you may + simply set the hostlist to "*", however, this will prevent local + mail programs from working because that would require mail from + localhost to use Proxy Protocol. Again, not advised! + +5. Example of a refused connection because the Proxy Protocol header was +not sent from a host configured to use Proxy Protocol.
