Transport post-delivery actions
--------------------------------------------------------------
-An arbitrary per-transport string can be expanded on successful delivery,
+An arbitrary per-transport string can be expanded upon various transport events
and (for SMTP transports) a second string on deferrals caused by a host error.
+Additionally a main-section configuration option can be expanded on some
+per-message events.
This feature may be used, for example, to write exim internal log information
(not available otherwise) into a database.
-In order to use the feature, you must set
+In order to use the feature, you must compile with
EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA=yes
in your Local/Makefile
-and define the expandable strings in the runtime config file, to
-be executed at end of delivery.
+and define one or both of
+- the tpda_event_action option in the transport
+- the delivery_event_action
+to be expanded when the event fires.
-Additionally, there are 6 more variables, available at end of
-delivery:
+A new variable, $tpda_event, is set to the event type when the
+expansion is done. The current list of events is:
-tpda_delivery_ip IP of host, which has accepted delivery
-tpda_delivery_port Port of remote host which has accepted delivery
-tpda_delivery_fqdn FQDN of host, which has accepted delivery
-tpda_delivery_local_part local part of address being delivered
-tpda_delivery_domain domain part of address being delivered
-tpda_delivery_confirmation SMTP confirmation message
+ msg:complete main per message
+ msg:delivery transport per recipient
+ msg:host:defer transport per attempt
+ msg:fail:delivery main per recipient
+ msg:fail:internal main per recipient
+ tcp:connect transport per connection
+ tcp:close transport per connection
+ tls:cert transport per certificate in verification chain
+ smtp:connect transport per connection
-In case of a deferral caused by a host-error:
-tpda_defer_errno Error number
-tpda_defer_errstr Error string possibly containing more details
+The expansion is called for all event types, and should use the $tpda_event
+value to decide when to act. The variable data is a colon-separated
+list, describing an event tree.
-The $router_name and $transport_name variables are also usable.
+There is an auxilary variable, $tpda_data, for which the
+content is event_dependent:
+ msg:delivery smtp confirmation mssage
+ msg:host:defer error string
+ tls:cert verification chain depth
+ smtp:connect smtp banner
-To take action after successful deliveries, set the following option
-on any transport of interest.
+The msg:host:defer event populates one extra variable, $tpda_defer_errno.
+
+The following variables are likely to be useful depending on the event type:
+
+ router_name, transport_name
+ local_part, domain
+ host, host_address, host_port
+ tls_out_peercert
+ lookup_dnssec_authenticated, tls_out_dane
+ sending_ip_address, sending_port
+ message_exim_id
-tpda_delivery_action
An example might look like:
-tpda_delivery_action = \
-${lookup pgsql {SELECT * FROM record_Delivery( \
+tpda_event_action = ${if = {msg:delivery}{$tpda_event} \
+{${lookup pgsql {SELECT * FROM record_Delivery( \
'${quote_pgsql:$sender_address_domain}',\
'${quote_pgsql:${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:$tpda_delivery_domain}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$tpda_delivery_local_part}}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:$tpda_delivery_ip}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$tpda_delivery_fqdn}}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:$message_exim_id}')}}
-
-The string is expanded after the delivery completes and any
+ '${quote_pgsql:$domain}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$local_part}}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$host_address}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$host}}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$message_exim_id}')}} \
+} {}}
+
+The string is expanded for each of the supported events and any
side-effects will happen. The result is then discarded.
Note that for complex operations an ACL expansion can be used.
-In order to log host deferrals, add the following option to an SMTP
-transport:
-
-tpda_host_defer_action
-
-This is a private option of the SMTP transport. It is intended to
-log failures of remote hosts. It is executed only when exim has
-attempted to deliver a message to a remote host and failed due to
-an error which doesn't seem to be related to the individual
-message, sender, or recipient address.
-See section 47.2 of the exim documentation for more details on how
-this is determined.
-
-Example:
-
-tpda_host_defer_action = \
-${lookup mysql {insert into delivlog set \
- msgid = '${quote_mysql:$message_exim_id}', \
- senderlp = '${quote_mysql:${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}', \
- senderdom = '${quote_mysql:$sender_address_domain}', \
- delivlp = '${quote_mysql:${lc:$tpda_delivery_local_part}}', \
- delivdom = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_domain}', \
- delivip = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_ip}', \
- delivport = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_port}', \
- delivfqdn = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_fqdn}', \
- deliverrno = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_defer_errno}', \
- deliverrstr = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_defer_errstr}' \
- }}
+The expansion of the tpda_event_action option should normally
+return an empty string. Should it return anything else the
+following will be forced:
+
+ msg:delivery (ignored)
+ msg:host:defer (ignored)
+ msg:fail:delivery (ignored)
+ tcp:connect do not connect
+ tcp:close (ignored)
+ tls:cert refuse verification
+ smtp:connect close connection
