+The result of the option expansion is included in the key used to store and

-Certificate issuing authorities issue Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) when
-certificates are revoked. If you have such a list, you can pass it to an Exim
-server using the global option called &%tls_crl%& and to an Exim client using
-an identically named option for the &(smtp)& transport. In each case, the value
-of the option is expanded and must then be the name of a file that contains a
-CRL in PEM format.
-The downside is that clients have to periodically re-download a potentially huge
-file from every certificate authority they know of.
-
-The way with most moving parts at query time is Online Certificate
-Status Protocol (OCSP), where the client verifies the certificate
-against an OCSP server run by the CA.  This lets the CA track all
-usage of the certs.  It requires running software with access to the
-private key of the CA, to sign the responses to the OCSP queries.  OCSP
-is based on HTTP and can be proxied accordingly.
-
-The only widespread OCSP server implementation (known to this writer)
-comes as part of OpenSSL and aborts on an invalid request, such as
-connecting to the port and then disconnecting.  This requires
-re-entering the passphrase each time some random client does this.
-
-The third way is OCSP Stapling; in this, the server using a certificate
-issued by the CA periodically requests an OCSP proof of validity from
-the OCSP server, then serves it up inline as part of the TLS
-negotiation.   This approach adds no extra round trips, does not let the
-CA track users, scales well with number of certs issued by the CA and is
-resilient to temporary OCSP server failures, as long as the server
-starts retrying to fetch an OCSP proof some time before its current
-proof expires.  The downside is that it requires server support.
-
-Unless Exim is built with the support disabled,
-or with GnuTLS earlier than version 3.3.16 / 3.4.8
-support for OCSP stapling is included.
-
-There is a global option called &%tls_ocsp_file%&.
-The file specified therein is expected to be in DER format, and contain
-an OCSP proof.  Exim will serve it as part of the TLS handshake.  This
-option will be re-expanded for SNI, if the &%tls_certificate%& option
-contains &`tls_in_sni`&, as per other TLS options.
-
-Exim does not at this time implement any support for fetching a new OCSP
-proof.  The burden is on the administrator to handle this, outside of
-Exim.  The file specified should be replaced atomically, so that the
-contents are always valid.  Exim will expand the &%tls_ocsp_file%& option
-on each connection, so a new file will be handled transparently on the
-next connection.
-
-When built with OpenSSL Exim will check for a valid next update timestamp
-in the OCSP proof; if not present, or if the proof has expired, it will be
-ignored.
-
-For the client to be able to verify the stapled OCSP the server must
-also supply, in its stapled information, any intermediate
-certificates for the chain leading to the OCSP proof from the signer
-of the server certificate.  There may be zero or one such. These
-intermediate certificates should be added to the server OCSP stapling
-file named by &%tls_ocsp_file%&.

+
+The only widespread OCSP server implementation (known to this writer)
+comes as part of OpenSSL and aborts on an invalid request, such as
+connecting to the port and then disconnecting.  This requires
+re-entering the passphrase each time some random client does this.
+
+.next
+The third way is OCSP Stapling; in this, the server using a certificate
+issued by the CA periodically requests an OCSP proof of validity from
+the OCSP server, then serves it up inline as part of the TLS
+negotiation.   This approach adds no extra round trips, does not let the
+CA track users, scales well with number of certs issued by the CA and is
+resilient to temporary OCSP server failures, as long as the server
+starts retrying to fetch an OCSP proof some time before its current
+proof expires.  The downside is that it requires server support.
+
+Unless Exim is built with the support disabled,
+or with GnuTLS earlier than version 3.3.16 / 3.4.8
+support for OCSP stapling is included.
+
+There is a global option called &%tls_ocsp_file%&.
+The file specified therein is expected to be in DER format, and contain
+an OCSP proof.  Exim will serve it as part of the TLS handshake.  This
+option will be re-expanded for SNI, if the &%tls_certificate%& option
+contains &`tls_in_sni`&, as per other TLS options.
+
+Exim does not at this time implement any support for fetching a new OCSP
+proof.  The burden is on the administrator to handle this, outside of
+Exim.  The file specified should be replaced atomically, so that the
+contents are always valid.  Exim will expand the &%tls_ocsp_file%& option
+on each connection, so a new file will be handled transparently on the
+next connection.
+
+When built with OpenSSL Exim will check for a valid next update timestamp
+in the OCSP proof; if not present, or if the proof has expired, it will be
+ignored.
+
+For the client to be able to verify the stapled OCSP the server must
+also supply, in its stapled information, any intermediate
+certificates for the chain leading to the OCSP proof from the signer
+of the server certificate.  There may be zero or one such. These
+intermediate certificates should be added to the server OCSP stapling
+file named by &%tls_ocsp_file%&.
+
+Note that the proof only covers the terminal server certificate,
+not any of the chain from CA to it.
+
+There is no current way to staple a proof for a client certificate.
+
+.code
+  A helper script "ocsp_fetch.pl" for fetching a proof from a CA
+  OCSP server is supplied.  The server URL may be included in the
+  server certificate, if the CA is helpful.
+
+  One failure mode seen was the OCSP Signer cert expiring before the end
+  of validity of the OCSP proof. The checking done by Exim/OpenSSL
+  noted this as invalid overall, but the re-fetch script did not.

+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
