+.cindex "WELLKNOWN" "ACL for"
+.oindex "&%acl_smtp_wellknown%&"
+The &%acl_smtp_wellknown%& ACL is available only when Exim is compiled
+with WELLKNOWN support enabled.
+
+The ACL determines the response to an SMTP WELLKNOWN command, using the normal
+accept/defer/deny verbs for the response code,
+and a new &"control=wellknown"& modifier.
+This modifier takes a single option, separated by a '/'
+character, which must be the name of a file containing the response
+cleartext. The modifier is expanded before use in the usual way before
+it is used. The configuration is responsible for picking a suitable file
+to return and, most importantly, not returning any unexpected file.
+The argument for the SMTP verb will be available in the &$smtp_command_argument$&
+variable and can be used for building the file path.
+If the file path given in the modifier is empty or inacessible, the control will
+fail.
+
+For example:
+.code
+ check_wellknown:
+ accept control = wellknown/\
+ ${lookup {${xtextd:$smtp_command_argument}} \
+ dsearch,key=path,filter=file,ret=full \
+ {$spooldir/wellknown.d}}
+.endd
+File content will be encoded in &"xtext"& form, and line-wrapping
+for line-length limitation will be done before transmission.
+A response summary line will be prepended, with the (pre-encoding) file size.
+
+The above example uses the expansion operator ${xtextd:<coded-string>}
+which is needed to decode the xtext-encoded key from the SMTP verb.
+
+Under the util directory there is a "mailtest" utility which can be used
+to test/retrieve WELLKNOWN items. Syntax is
+.code
+ mailtest -h host.example.com -w security.txt
+.endd
+
+WELLKNOWN is a ESMTP extension providing access to extended
+information about the server. It is modelled on the webserver
+facilities documented in RFC 8615 and can be used for a security.txt
+file and could be used for ACME handshaking (RFC 8555).
+
+Exim will advertise WELLKNOWN support in the EHLO response
+.oindex &%wellknown_advertise_hosts%&
+(conditional on a new option &%wellknown_advertise_hosts%&)
+and service WELLKNOWN smtp verbs having a single parameter
+giving a key for an item of "site-wide metadata".
+The verb and key are separated by whitespace,
+and the key is xtext-encoded (per RFC 3461 section 4).
