Using Nginx to proxy IMAPS

Nginx can be used to proxy several mail protocols. This can be useful in a variety of scenarios: load balancing, providing up-to-date TLS for servers that don’t support it, graceful server migration, or enabling user-specific storage policies.

Unfortunately, what’s not clear from the documentation is that nginx (at least at 1.18) can’t proxy over encrypted connections - which makes this unworkable except in the case of servers on the local network.

IMAP4 Keywords are small bits of metadata that can be attached to stored email messages.

They're free-form text, but the convention is that

\ indicates a system keyword
$ indicates a keyword with a common meaning

See the IMAP4 spec and the IANA registry

I have a site where there is no legitmate use of the HTTP POST method (or anything other than GET/HEAD).

limit_except is usually used for method restriction, but only produces 403 responses, not 405. There's a Stack Overflow question that notes this. There's a 2015 blog post that suggests something like the following (which I needed to modify to get the Allow: header to appear):

server {

I have a process that outputs a list of .in-addr.arpa values. These consist of names with 3 to 6 labels.

161.187.42.143.in-addr.arpa
18.139.243.162.in-addr.arpa
38.51.19.58.in-addr.arpa
136.67.34.in-addr.arpa
16.134.243.162.in-addr.arpa
18.240.203.159.in-addr.arpa
240.54.in-addr.arpa

	In scene 07 of the game Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong, you need to turn three valves
	on three pipes, in order to set all three gauges to 12.

	Each valve has a different effect across all three gagues.
	If the gagues go over 12 they wrap around to zero.

	Online guides suggest a specific sequence of turns, but this isn't a solution as it assumes
	a known starting position.
