source port logging

nginx -V: nginx version: nginx/1.4.7

Description

Due to the increasing use of Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) at Internet Service Providers, new EU legislation will soon require service providers to log source ports in addition to source IP's to allow identifying individual end users (as a single IP may have multiple independent users behind it).

For HTTP (access_log) this can be done in configuration using $server_port.
For pop3/imap the log format (error_log) is hardcoded, so it must be changed in the code to include the source port of pop3/imap requests. Can this be considered?

This ticket appears to be based on the Zimbra version of nginx, so it is not particularly applicable.

comment:2 by Quanah Gibson-Mount, 10 years ago

Some of this does still apply directly to the mainline nginx code base, so should be updated.

In d5b8ee9f2201e1d9fa7ac41da9a4a8d939cd42b1/nginx:

Mail: output client port number on client connects (ticket #531).

With d5b8ee9f2201, the client port is output in the "connected to" log messages.
