dmarc_tld_file Defines the location of a text file of valid

the most current version can be downloaded

Optional:
dmarc_history_file Defines the location of a file to log results

-dmarc_forensic_sender The email address to use when sending a
+dmarc_forensic_sender Alternate email address to use when sending a
forensic report detailing alignment failures
if a sender domain's dmarc record specifies it
and you have configured Exim to send them.
- Default: do-not-reply@$default_hostname
+
+ If set, this is expanded and used for the
+ From: header line; the address is extracted
+ from it and used for the envelope from.
+ If not set, the From: header is expanded from
+ the dsn_from option, and <> is used for the
+ envelope from.
+
+ Default: unset.
3. By default, the DMARC processing will run for any remote,
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
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.

Receive log lines for an ARC pass will be tagged "ARC".
Signing
--
-arc_sign = <admd-identifier> : <selector> : <privkey>
+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 three elements must be non-empty.
+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.

+Early pipelining support
+------------------------
+Ref: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-harris-early-pipe/
+
+If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT support is included for this feature.
+The server advertises the feature in its EHLO response, currently using the name
+"X_PIPE_CONNECT" (this will change, some time in the future).
+A client may cache this information, along with the rest of the EHLO response,
+and use it for later connections. Those later ones can send esmtp commands before
+a banner is received.
+
+Up to 1.5 roundtrip times can be taken out of cleartext connections, 2.5 on
+STARTTLS connections.
+
+In combination with the traditional PIPELINING feature the following example
+sequences are possible (among others):
+
+(client) (server)
+
+EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA ->
+ <- banner,EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack,DATA-goahead
+message-data ->
+------
+
+EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,BDAT ->
+ <- banner,EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack
+message-data ->
+------
+
+EHLO,STARTTLS ->
+ <- banner,EHLO-resp,TLS-goahead
+TLS1.2-client-hello ->
+ <- TLS-server-hello,cert,hello-done
+client-Kex,change-cipher,finished ->
+ <- change-cipher,finished
+EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA ->
+ <- EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack,DATA-goahead
+
+------
+(tls-on-connect)
+TLS1.2-client-hello ->
+ <- TLS-server-hello,cert,hello-done
+client-Kex,change-cipher,finished ->
+ <- change-cipher,finshed
+ <- banner
+EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA ->
+ <- EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack,DATA-goahead
+
+Where the initial client packet is SMTP, it can combine with the TCP Fast Open
+feature and be sent in the TCP SYN.
+
+
+A main-section option "pipelining_connect_advertise_hosts" (default: *)
+and an smtp transport option "hosts_pipe_connect" (default: unset)
+control the feature.
+
+If the "pipelining" log_selector is enabled, the "L" field in server <=
+log lines has a period appended if the feature was advertised but not used;
+or has an asterisk appended if the feature was used. In client => lines
+the "L" field has an asterisk appended if the feature was used.
+
+The "retry_data_expire" option controls cache invalidation.
+Entries are also rewritten (or cleared) if the adverised features
+change.
+
+
+NOTE: since the EHLO command must be constructed before the connection is
+made it cannot depend on the interface IP address that will be used.
+Transport configurations should be checked for this. An example avoidance:
+
+ helo_data = ${if def:sending_ip_address \
+ {${lookup dnsdb{>! ptr=$sending_ip_address} \
+ {${sg{$value} {^([^!]*).*\$} {\$1}}} fail}} \
+ {$primary_hostname}}
