nginx-smtp-auth

===============

A simple Go server to act as a proof-of-concept for how to authenticate to resources protected by NGINX's auth module via an SMTP server.

> NOTE: no cookies/sessions baked in yet so every request necessarily authenticates with the smtp server which isn't cool.

Checkout the example config in the [example](./example/) directory.
