-Limits ESMTP extension
+XCLIENT proxy support

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

-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.
-
-A new main-section option "limits_advertise_hosts" controls whether
-the limits are advertised; the default for the option is "*".
-
-As a client, Exim will:
-
- - note an advertised MAILMAX; the lower of the value given and the
- value from the transport connection_max_messages option is used.
-
- - 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.
-
- - note an advertised RCPTDOMAINMAX, and behave as if the transport
- multi_domains option was set to false.  The value advertised is ignored.
-
-Values advertised are only noted for TLS connections and ones for which
-the server does not advertise TLS support.
-
+Per https://www.postfix.org/XCLIENT_README.html
+
+XCLIENT is an ESMTP extension supporting an inbound proxy.
+The only client immplementation known is in Nginx
+(https://nginx.org/en/docs/mail/ngx_mail_proxy_module.html)
+
+If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_XCLIENT=yes :-
+
+As a server, Exim will advertise XCLIENT support (conditional on a new option
+"hosts_xclient") and service XCLIENT commands with parameters
+  ADDR
+  NAME
+  PORT
+  LOGIN
+  DESTADDR
+  DESTPORT
+A fresh HELO/EHLO is required after a succesful XCLIENT, and the usual
+values are derived from that (making the HELO and PROTO paramemters redundant).
+
+An XCLIENT command must give both ADDR and PORT parameters if no previous
+XCLIENT has succeeded in the SMTP session.
+
+After a success:
+  $proxy_session variable becomes "yes"
+  $proxy_local_address, $proxy_local_port have the proxy "inside" values
+  $proxy_external_address, $proxy_external_port have the proxy "outside" values
+  $sender_host_address, $sender_host_port have the remot client values
