Sudo and https

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Even if I specify 8080 for the http port, it'll still sudo to be able to the 25th port. Does it then require sudo no matter what?

Also, I want to run it on a server where there'll be other ordinary websites. So I can't allow PMail to use 443 port Can PMail be put behind reverse proxy such as nginx, with http only?

How to disable https then? Remove https from the config?

1、The program needs to receive mail through the smtp service. Smtp protocol runs on port 25, so port 25 must be used. Root privileges are required by the Linux system.

2、You can disable https by changing httpsEnabled to 2 in the configuration file.
