Nginx and Exim on same host, Nginx runs as smtp proxy for exim. Nginx v1.22.0 config fragment:

mail {
...
  server {
    listen    25;
    protocol  smtp;
    proxy_protocol on;
    smtp_auth none;
    starttls on;
  }
...
}

(Exim v4.96, compiled with SUPPORT_PROXY). Exim config:

hostlist hosts_proxy = <; 127.0.0.1; 192.46.111.11

But PROXY protocol seems to be not recognised by exim, Exim logs:

SMTP syntax error in "PROXY TCP4 209.85.128.171 192.46.111.11 43960 25" H=localhost [127.0.0.1] unrecognized command

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
