-1. Yahoo DomainKeys support
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-DomainKeys  (DK)  support  is   built  into  Exim  using   the
-"libdomainkeys"  reference   library  implementation.   It  is
-available at
-
-http://domainkeys.sf.net
-
-You must build  this library on  your system and  compile Exim
-against it. To build Exim with DK support, add these lines  to
-your Local/Makefile:
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_DOMAINKEYS=yes
-CFLAGS  += -I/home/tom/exim-cvs/extra/libdomainkeys
-LDFLAGS += -ldomainkeys -L/home/tom/exim-cvs/extra/libdomainkeys
-
-Remember to tweak  the CFLAGS and  LDFLAGS lines to  match the
-location of the libdomainkeys includes and lib on your system.
-
-The   current   experimental   implementation   supports   two
-independent functions:
-
-o Validate incoming DK-signed email.
-o Sign outgoing email with DK.
-
-The former is implemented in the ACLs for SMTP, the latter  as
-an extension to the SMTP transport. That means both facilities
-are limited to SMTP I/O.
-
-
-
-1) Validate incoming email
-
-Incoming messages are fed to the DK validation process as they
-are  received "on  the wire".  This happens  synchronously to
-Exim's buffering of the message in the spool.
-
-You  must  set  "control  =  dk_verify"  in  one  of  the ACLs
-preceding DATA  (you will  typically use  acl_smtp_rcpt), at a
-point  where  non-local,  non-relay,  non-submission  mail  is
-processed. If that control flag  is not set, the message  will
-NOT be verified.
-
-Example:
-
-warn log_message = Feeding message to DK validator.
-     control = dk_verify
-
-You can check for the outcome of the DK check in the ACL after
-data (acl_smtp_data), using a number of ACL conditions  and/or
-expansion variables.
-
-
-
-1.1.) DK ACL conditions
-
-  dk_sender_domains = <domain list>
-
-    This   condition   takes  a   domainlist  as argument  and
-    succeeds if the domain that DK has  been verifying  for is
-    found in the list.
-
-
-  dk_senders = <address list>
-
-    This  condition  takes  an  addresslist  as argument   and
-    succeeds  if  the address  that DK has been  verifying for
-    is  found in the list.
-
-
-  dk_sender_local_parts = <local part list>
-
-    This  condition  takes   a local_part  list   as  argument
-    and  succeeds   if  the   domain   that    DK   has   been
-    verifying  for is found in the list.
-
-
-  dk_status = <colon separated list of keywords>
-
-    This condition takes a  list of keywords as  argument, and
-    succeeds if one of the listed keywords matches the outcome
-    of the DK check. The available keywords are:
-
-    good            DK check succeeded, mail is verified.
-    bad             DK check failed.
-    no signature    Mail is not signed with DK.
-    no key          Public key missing in target domain DNS.
-    bad format      Public key available, but unuseable.
-    non-participant Target domain states not to participate in DK.
-    revoked         The signing key has been revoked by the domain.
-
-
-  dk_policy = <colon separated list of keywords>
-
-    This condition takes a  list of keywords as  argument, and
-    succeeds if one of the listed keywords matches the  policy
-    announced  by the  target domain.  The available  keywords
-    are:
-
-    signsall        The target domain signs all outgoing email.
-    testing         The target domain is currently testing DK.
-
-
-  dk_domain_source = <colon separated list of keywords>
-
-    This condition takes a  list of keywords as  argument, and
-    succeeds  if  one  of  the  listed  keywords  matches  the
-    location where DK found the sender domain it verified for.
-    The available keywords are:
-
-    from            The domain came from the "From:" header.
-    sender          The domain came from the "Sender:" header.
-    none            DK was unable to find the responsible domain.
-
-
-
-1.2.) DK verification expansion variables
-
-  $dk_sender_domain
-
-    Contains the domain that DK has verified for.
-
-
-  $dk_sender
-
-    Contains the address that DK has verified for.
-
-
-  $dk_sender_local_part
-
-    Contains the local part that DK has verified for.
-
-
-  $dk_sender_source
-
-    Contains the "source" of the above three variables, one of
-
-      "from"    The address came from the "From:" header.
-      "sender"  The address came from the "Sender:" header.
-
-    When DK was unable to find a valid address, this variable
-    is "0".
-
-
-  $dk_signsall
-
-    Is "1" if the target domain signs all outgoing email,
-    "0" otherwise.
-
-
-  $dk_testing
-
-    Is "1" if the target domain is testing DK, "0" otherwise.
-
-
-  $dk_is_signed
-
-    Is "1" if the message is signed, "0" otherwise.
-
-
-  $dk_status
-
-    Contains the outcome of the DK check as a string, commonly
-    used to add a "DomainKey-Status:" header to messages. Will
-    contain one of:
-
-    good            DK check succeeded, mail is verified.
-    bad             DK check failed.
-    no signature    Mail is not signed with DK.
-    no key          Public key missing in target domain DNS.
-    bad format      Public key available, but unuseable.
-    non-participant Target domain states not to participate in DK.
-    revoked         The signing key has been revoked by the domain.
-
-
-  $dk_result
-
-    Contains a  human-readable result  of the  DK check,  more
-    verbose than $dk_status. Useful for logging purposes.
-
-
-
-2) Sign outgoing email with DK
-
-Outgoing messages are  signed just before  Exim puts them  "on
-the wire".  The only  thing that  happens after  DK signing is
-eventual TLS encryption.
-
-Signing is implemented by setting private options on the  SMTP
-transport.  These   options  take   (expandable)  strings   as
-arguments.  The  most  important  variable  to  use  in  these
-expansions is $dk_domain. It contains the domain that DK wants
-to sign for.
-
-
-  dk_selector = <expanded string> [MANDATORY]
-
-    This  sets  the  key  selector  string.  You  can  use the
-    $dk_domain  expansion  variable  to  look  up  a  matching
-    selector.  The result  is put  in the  expansion  variable
-    $dk_selector which  should be  used in  the dk_private_key
-    option along with $dk_domain.
-
-
-  dk_private_key = <expanded string> [MANDATORY]
-
-    This  sets the  private key  to use.  You SHOULD  use  the
-    $dk_domain   and  $dk_selector   expansion  variables   to
-    determine the private key to use. The result can either
-
-      o be a valid RSA private key in ASCII armor, including
-        line breaks.
-      o start with a slash, in which case it is treated as
-        a file that contains the private key.
-      o be "0", "false" or the empty string, in which case
-        the message will not be signed. This case will not
-        result in an error, even if dk_strict is set.
-
-
-  dk_canon = <expanded string> [OPTIONAL]
-
-    This  option sets  the canonicalization  method used  when
-    signing a  message. The  DK draft  currently supports  two
-    methods:  "simple"  and "nofws".  The  option defaults  to
-    "simple" when unset.
-
-
-  dk_strict = <expanded string> [OPTIONAL]
-
-    This  option  defines  how  Exim  behaves  when  signing a
-    message that should be signed fails for some reason.  When
-    the expansion evaluates to either "1" or "true", Exim will
-    defer. Otherwise Exim will send the message unsigned.  You
-    can  and  should use  the  $dk_domain   and   $dk_selector
-    expansion  variables here.
-
-
-  dk_domain = <expanded string> [NOT RECOMMENDED]
-
-    This  option overrides  DKs autodetection  of the  signing
-    domain. You should only use  this option if you know  what
-    you are doing. The result of the string expansion is  also
-    put in $dk_domain.

-3. Sender Policy Framework (SPF) support
+DCC Support

 --------------------------------------------------------------
 --------------------------------------------------------------

+Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse; http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc/
+
+*) Building exim
+
+In order to build exim with DCC support add
+
+EXPERIMENTAL_DCC=yes
+
+to your Makefile. (Re-)build/install exim. exim -d should show
+EXPERIMENTAL_DCC under "Support for".
+
+
+*) Configuration
+
+In the main section of exim.cf add at least
+  dccifd_address = /usr/local/dcc/var/dccifd
+or
+  dccifd_address = <ip> <port>
+
+In the DATA ACL you can use the new condition
+        dcc = *
+
+After that "$dcc_header" contains the X-DCC-Header.
+
+Return values are:
+  fail    for overall "R", "G" from dccifd
+  defer   for overall "T" from dccifd
+  accept  for overall "A", "S" from dccifd
+
+dcc = */defer_ok works as for spamd.
+
+The "$dcc_result" variable contains the overall result from DCC
+answer.  There will an X-DCC: header added to the mail.
+
+Usually you'll use
+  defer   !dcc = *
+to greylist with DCC.
+
+If you set, in the main section,
+  dcc_direct_add_header = true
+then the dcc header will be added "in deep" and if the spool
+file was already written it gets removed. This forces Exim to
+write it again if needed.  This helps to get the DCC Header
+through to eg. SpamAssassin.
+
+If you want to pass even more headers in the middle of the
+DATA stage you can set
+  $acl_m_dcc_add_header
+to tell the DCC routines to add more information; eg, you might set
+this to some results from ClamAV.  Be careful.  Header syntax is
+not checked and is added "as is".
+
+In case you've troubles with sites sending the same queue items from several
+hosts and fail to get through greylisting you can use
+$acl_m_dcc_override_client_ip
+
+Setting $acl_m_dcc_override_client_ip to an IP address overrides the default
+of $sender_host_address. eg. use the following ACL in DATA stage:
+
+  warn    set acl_m_dcc_override_client_ip = \
+    ${lookup{$sender_helo_name}nwildlsearch{/etc/mail/multipleip_sites}{$value}{}}
+          condition = ${if def:acl_m_dcc_override_client_ip}
+          log_message = dbg: acl_m_dcc_override_client_ip set to \
+                        $acl_m_dcc_override_client_ip
+
+Then set something like
+# cat /etc/mail/multipleip_sites
+mout-xforward.gmx.net           82.165.159.12
+mout.gmx.net                    212.227.15.16
+
+Use a reasonable IP. eg. one the sending cluster actually uses.
+
+
+
+DSN extra information
+---------------------
+If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO extra information will be added
+to DSN fail messages ("bounces"), when available.  The intent is to aid
+tracing of specific failing messages, when presented with a "bounce"
+complaint and needing to search logs.
+
+
+The remote MTA IP address, with port number if nonstandard.
+Example:
+  Remote-MTA: X-ip; [127.0.0.1]:587
+Rationale:
+  Several addresses may correspond to the (already available)
+  dns name for the remote MTA.
+
+The remote MTA connect-time greeting.
+Example:
+  X-Remote-MTA-smtp-greeting: X-str; 220 the.local.host.name ESMTP Exim x.yz Tue, 2 Mar 1999 09:44:33 +0000
+Rationale:
+  This string sometimes presents the remote MTA's idea of its
+  own name, and sometimes identifies the MTA software.
+
+The remote MTA response to HELO or EHLO.
+Example:
+  X-Remote-MTA-helo-response: X-str; 250-the.local.host.name Hello localhost [127.0.0.1]
+Limitations:
+  Only the first line of a multiline response is recorded.
+Rationale:
+  This string sometimes presents the remote MTA's view of
+  the peer IP connecting to it.
+
+The reporting MTA detailed diagnostic.
+Example:
+  X-Exim-Diagnostic: X-str; SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<d3@myhost.test.ex>: 550 hard error
+Rationale:
+  This string sometimes give extra information over the
+  existing (already available) Diagnostic-Code field.
+
+
+Note that non-RFC-documented field names and data types are used.
+
+
+Queuefile transport
+-------------------
+Queuefile is a pseudo transport which does not perform final delivery.
+It simply copies the exim spool files out of the spool directory into
+an external directory retaining the exim spool format.
+
+The spool files can then be processed by external processes and then
+requeued into exim spool directories for final delivery.
+However, note carefully the warnings in the main documentation on
+qpool file formats.
+
+The motivation/inspiration for the transport is to allow external
+processes to access email queued by exim and have access to all the
+information which would not be available if the messages were delivered
+to the process in the standard email formats.
+
+The mailscanner package is one of the processes that can take advantage
+of this transport to filter email.
+
+The transport can be used in the same way as the other existing transports,
+i.e by configuring a router to route mail to a transport configured with
+the queuefile driver.
+
+The transport only takes one option:
+
+* directory - This is used to specify the directory messages should be
+copied to.  Expanded.
+
+The generic transport options (body_only, current_directory, disable_logging,
+debug_print, delivery_date_add, envelope_to_add, event_action, group,
+headers_add, headers_only, headers_remove, headers_rewrite, home_directory,
+initgroups, max_parallel, message_size_limit, rcpt_include_affixes,
+retry_use_local_part, return_path, return_path_add, shadow_condition,
+shadow_transport, transport_filter, transport_filter_timeout, user) are
+ignored.
+
+Sample configuration:
+
+(Router)
+
+scan:
+   driver = accept
+   transport = scan
+
+(Transport)
+
+scan:
+  driver = queuefile
+  directory = /var/spool/baruwa-scanner/input

-To learn  more  about  SPF, visit   http://spf.pobox.com. This
-document does   not explain  the SPF  fundamentals, you should
-read and understand the implications of deploying SPF on  your
-system before doing so.
-
-SPF support is added via the libspf2 library. Visit
-
-  http://www.libspf2.org/
-
-to obtain  a copy,  then compile  and install  it. By default,
-this will  put headers  in /usr/local/include  and the  static
-library in /usr/local/lib.
-
-To compile Exim with SPF support, set these additional flags in
-Local/Makefile:
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_SPF=yes
-CFLAGS=-DSPF -I/usr/local/include
-EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -lspf2
-
-This assumes   that the   libspf2 files   are installed  in
-their default locations.
-
-You can now run SPF checks in incoming SMTP by using the "spf"
-ACL condition  in either  the MAIL,  RCPT or  DATA ACLs.  When
-using it in the RCPT ACL, you can make the checks dependend on
-the RCPT  address (or  domain), so  you can  check SPF records
-only  for   certain  target   domains.  This   gives  you  the
-possibility  to opt-out  certain customers  that do  not want
-their mail to be subject to SPF checking.
-
-The spf condition  takes a list  of strings on  its right-hand
-side. These strings describe the outcome of the SPF check  for
-which the spf condition should succeed. Valid strings are:
-
-  o pass      The SPF check passed, the sending host
-              is positively verified by SPF.
-  o fail      The SPF check failed, the sending host
-              is NOT allowed to send mail for the domain
-              in the envelope-from address.
-  o softfail  The SPF check failed, but the queried
-              domain can't absolutely confirm that this
-              is a forgery.
-  o none      The queried domain does not publish SPF
-              records.
-  o neutral   The SPF check returned a "neutral" state.
-              This means the queried domain has published
-              a SPF record, but wants to allow outside
-              servers to send mail under its domain as well.
-  o err_perm  This indicates a syntax error in the SPF
-              record of the queried domain. This should be
-              treated like "none".
-  o err_temp  This indicates a temporary error during all
-              processing, including Exim's SPF processing.
-              You may defer messages when this occurs.
-
-You can prefix each string with an exclamation mark to  invert
-is meaning,  for example  "!fail" will  match all  results but
-"fail".  The  string  list is  evaluated  left-to-right,  in a
-short-circuit fashion.  When a  string matches  the outcome of
-the SPF check, the condition  succeeds. If none of the  listed
-strings matches the  outcome of the  SPF check, the  condition
-fails.
-
-Here is a simple example to fail forgery attempts from domains
-that publish SPF records:
-
-/* -----------------
-deny message = $sender_host_address is not allowed to send mail from $sender_address_domain
-     spf = fail
---------------------- */
-
-You can also give special treatment to specific domains:
-
-/* -----------------
-deny message = AOL sender, but not from AOL-approved relay.
-     sender_domains = aol.com
-     spf = fail:neutral
---------------------- */
-
-Explanation: AOL  publishes SPF  records, but  is liberal  and
-still allows  non-approved relays  to send  mail from aol.com.
-This will result in a "neutral" state, while mail from genuine
-AOL servers  will result  in "pass".  The example  above takes
-this into account and  treats "neutral" like "fail",  but only
-for aol.com. Please note that this violates the SPF draft.
-
-When the spf condition has run, it sets up several expansion
-variables.
-
-  $spf_header_comment
-  This contains a human-readable string describing the outcome
-  of the SPF check. You can add it to a custom header or use
-  it for logging purposes.
-
-  $spf_received
-  This contains a complete SPF-Received: header that can be
-  added to the message. Please note that according to the SPF
-  draft, this header must be added at the top of the header
-  list. Please see section 10 on how you can do this.
-
-  $spf_result
-  This contains the outcome of the SPF check in string form,
-  one of pass, fail, softfail, none, neutral, err_perm or
-  err_temp.
-
-  $spf_smtp_comment
-  This contains a string that can be used in a SMTP response
-  to the calling party. Useful for "fail".

-4. SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme) Support
+In order to build exim with Queuefile transport support add or uncomment
+
+EXPERIMENTAL_QUEUEFILE=yes
+
+to your Local/Makefile. (Re-)build/install exim. exim -d should show
+Experimental_QUEUEFILE in the line "Support for:".
+
+
+ARC support
+-----------
+Specification: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dmarc-arc-protocol-11
+Note that this is not an RFC yet, so may change.
+
+[RFC 8617 was published 2019/06.  Draft 11 was 2018/01.  A review of the
+changes has not yet been done]
+
+ARC is intended to support the utility of SPF and DKIM in the presence of
+intermediaries in the transmission path - forwarders and mailinglists -
+by establishing a cryptographically-signed chain in headers.
+
+Normally one would only bother doing ARC-signing when functioning as
+an intermediary.  One might do verify for local destinations.
+
+ARC uses the notion of a "ADministrative Management Domain" (ADMD).
+Described in RFC 5598 (section 2.3), this is essentially a set of
+mail-handling systems that mail transits that are all under the control
+of one organisation.  A label should be chosen to identify the ADMD.
+Messages should be ARC-verified on entry to the ADMD, and ARC-signed on exit
+from it.
+
+
+Building with ARC Support
+--
+Enable using EXPERIMENTAL_ARC=yes in your Local/Makefile.
+You must also have DKIM present (not disabled), and you very likely
+want to have SPF enabled.
+
+
+Verification
+--
+An ACL condition is provided to perform the "verifier actions" detailed
+in section 6 of the above specification.  It may be called from the DATA ACL
+and succeeds if the result matches any of a given list.
+It also records the highest ARC instance number (the chain size)
+and verification result for later use in creating an Authentication-Results:
+standard header.
+
+  verify = arc/<acceptable_list>   none:fail:pass
+
+  add_header = :at_start:${authresults {<admd-identifier>}}
+
+       Note that it would be wise to strip incoming messages of A-R headers
+       that claim to be from our own <admd-identifier>.
+
+There are four new variables:
+
+  $arc_state           One of pass, fail, none
+  $arc_state_reason    (if fail, why)
+  $arc_domains         colon-sep list of ARC chain domains, in chain order.
+                       problematic elements may have empty list elements
+  $arc_oldest_pass     lowest passing instance number of chain
+
+Example:

+
+Signing
+--
+arc_sign = <admd-identifier> : <selector> : <privkey> [ : <options> ]
+An option on the smtp transport, which constructs and prepends to the message
+an ARC set of headers.  The textually-first Authentication-Results: header
+is used as a basis (you must have added one on entry to the ADMD).
+Expanded as a whole; if unset, empty or forced-failure then no signing is done.
+If it is set, all of the first three elements must be non-empty.
+
+The fourth element is optional, and if present consists of a comma-separated list
+of options.  The options implemented are
+
+  timestamps           Add a t= tag to the generated AMS and AS headers, with the
+                       current time.
+  expire[=<val>]       Add an x= tag to the generated AMS header, with an expiry time.
+                       If the value <val> is an plain number it is used unchanged.
+                       If it starts with a '+' then the following number is added
+                       to the current time, as an offset in seconds.
+                       If a value is not given it defaults to a one month offset.
+
+[As of writing, gmail insist that a t= tag on the AS is mandatory]
+
+Caveats:
+ * There must be an Authentication-Results header, presumably added by an ACL
+   while receiving the message, for the same ADMD, for arc_sign to succeed.
+   This requires careful coordination between inbound and outbound logic.
+
+   Only one A-R header is taken account of.  This is a limitation versus
+   the ARC spec (which says that all A-R headers from within the ADMD must
+   be used).
+
+ * If passing a message to another system, such as a mailing-list manager
+   (MLM), between receipt and sending, be wary of manipulations to headers made
+   by the MLM.
+   + For instance, Mailman with REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS==3 might improve
+     deliverability in a pre-ARC world, but that option also renames the
+     Authentication-Results header, which breaks signing.
+
+ * Even if you use multiple DKIM keys for different domains, the ARC concept
+   should try to stick to one ADMD, so pick a primary domain and use that for
+   AR headers and outbound signing.
+
+Signing is not compatible with cutthrough delivery; any (before expansion)
+value set for the option will result in cutthrough delivery not being
+used via the transport in question.

+Dovecot authenticator via inet socket

 --------------------------------------------------------------
 --------------------------------------------------------------

+If Dovecot is configured similar to :-
+
+service auth {
+...
+#SASL
+  inet_listener {
+    name = exim
+    port = 12345
+  }
+...
+}
+
+then an Exim authenticator can be configured :-
+
+  dovecot-plain:
+    driver =           dovecot
+    public_name =      PLAIN
+    server_socket =    dovecot_server_name 12345
+    server_tls =       true
+    server_set_id =    $auth1
+
+If the server_socket does not start with a / it is taken as a hostname (or IP);
+and a whitespace-separated port number must be given.
+
+
+
+
+Logging protocol unusual states
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+An extra log_selector, "protocol_detail" has been added in the default build.
+The name may change in future, hence the Experimenal status.
+
+Currrently the only effect is to enable logging, under TLS,
+of a TCP RST received directly after a QUIT (in server mode).
+
+Outlook is consistently doing this; not waiting for the SMTP response
+to its QUIT, not properly closing the TLS session and not properly closing
+the TCP connection.  Previously this resulted is an error from SSL_write
+being logged.
+
+
+
+Limits ESMTP extension
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+Per https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-freed-smtp-limits-01
+
+If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_ESMTP_LIMITS=yes :-
+
+As a server, Exim will advertise, in the EHLO response, the limit for RCPT
+commands set by the recipients_max main-section config option (if it is set),
+and the limit for MAIL commands set by the smtp_accept_max_per_connection
+option.
+
+Note that as of writing, smtp_accept_max_per_connection is expanded but
+recipients_max is not.

 
 

-Exiscan  currently  includes SRS  support  via Miles  Wilton's
-libsrs_alt library. The current version of the supported
-library is 0.5.
+A new main-section option "limits_advertise_hosts" controls whether
+the limits are advertised; the default for the option is "*".

 
 

-In order to  use SRS, you  must get a  copy of libsrs_alt from
+As a client, Exim will:

 
 

-http://srs.mirtol.com/
+ - note an advertised MAILMAX; the lower of the value given and the
+ value from the transport connection_max_messages option is used.

 
 

-Unpack the tarball, then refer to MTAs/README.EXIM
-to proceed. You need to set
+ - note an advertised RCPTMAX; the lower of the
+ value given and the value from the transport max_rcpt option is used.
+ Parallisation of transactions is not done if due to a RCPTMAX, unlike
+ max_rcpt.

 
 

-EXPERIMENTAL_SRS=yes
+ - note an advertised RCPTDOMAINMAX, and behave as if the transport
+ multi_domains option was set to false.  The value advertised is ignored.

 
 

-in your Local/Makefile.
+Values advertised are only noted for TLS connections and ones for which
+the server does not advertise TLS support.
