From time to time, experimental features may be added to Exim.
While a feature is experimental, there will be a build-time
option whose name starts "EXPERIMENTAL_" that must be set in
order to include the feature. This file contains information
-about experimenatal features, all of which are unstable and
-liable to incompatibile change.

-0. DKIM support
+PRDR support
--------------------------------------------------------------
-DKIM support is implemented via libdkim. A compatible version
-is available here:
-
-http://duncanthrax.net/exim-experimental/libdkim-1.0.15-tk.tar.gz
-
-Build the lib according to the instructions in the enclosed
-INSTALL file.
-
-To build Exim with DKIM support, specify this in Local/Makefile:
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_DKIM=yes
-CFLAGS += -I/home/tom/libdkim/include
-LDFLAGS += -ldkim -lssl -lstdc++ -L/home/tom/libdkim/lib
-
-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 DKIM-signed email.
-o Sign outgoing email with DKIM.
-
-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 DKIM 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 = dkim_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 DKIM validator.
- control = dk_verify
-
-You can then check for DKIM signatures in the ACL after data
-(acl_smtp_data), using the 'dkim' query-style lookup type. The
-query string should be a domain or DKIM identity:
-
-${lookup dkim{domain.example}}
-
-Such a lookup will yield one of the following strings:
-
-unverified: Exim did not (yet) verify the eventual DKIM
- signatures in this message. This may happen
- if a) You did not use control=dkim_verify
- or b) You are using the lookup before
- the DATA ACL.
-
-unsigned: The message does not have a signature from
- the specified domain.
-
-good: The message has a signature from the specified
- domain, and it verified successfully.
-
-bad: The message has a signature from the specified
- domain, but it did not verify.
-
-defer: A temporary DNS problem was encountered while
- trying to verify the signature.
-
+Per-Recipient Data Reponse is an SMTP extension proposed by Eric Hall
+in a (now-expired) IETF draft from 2007. It's not hit mainstream
+use, but has apparently been implemented in the META1 MTA.
+There is mention at http://mail.aegee.org/intern/sendmail.html
+of a patch to sendmail "to make it PRDR capable".
-2) Sign outgoing email with DKIM
+ ref: http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt
-Outgoing messages are signed just before Exim puts them "on
-the wire". The only thing that happens after DKIM signing is
-eventual TLS encryption.
+If Exim is built with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR there is a new config
+boolean "prdr_enable" which controls whether PRDR is advertised
+as part of an EHLO response, a new "acl_data_smtp_prdr" ACL
+(called for each recipient, after data arrives but before the
+data ACL), and a new smtp transport option "hosts_try_prdr".
-Signing is implemented by setting private options on the SMTP
-transport. These options take (expandable) strings as
-arguments.
+PRDR may be used to support per-user content filtering. Without it
+one must defer any recipient after the first that has a different
+content-filter configuration. With PRDR, the RCPT-time check
+for this can be disabled when the MAIL-time $smtp_command included
+"PRDR". Any required difference in behaviour of the main DATA-time
+ACL should however depend on the PRDR-time ACL having run, as Exim
+will avoid doing so in some situations (eg. single-recipient mails).
- dkim_domain = <expanded string> [MANDATORY]
- The domain you want to sign with. Should optimally match
- the domain in the "From:" header of the message, but
- does not necessarily have to. The result of this expanded
- option is put into the $dkim_domain expansion variable.
- dkim_selector = <expanded string> [MANDATORY]
-
- This sets the key selector string. You can use the
- $dkim_domain expansion variable to look up a matching
- selector. The result is put in the expansion variable
- $dkim_selector which should be used in the dkim_private_key
- option along with $dkim_domain.
-
- dkim_private_key = <expanded string> [MANDATORY]
-
- This sets the private key to use. You can use the
- $dkim_domain and $dkim_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 dkim_strict is set.
-
- dkim_canon = <expanded string> [OPTIONAL]
-
- This option sets the canonicalization method used when
- signing a message. The DKIM RFC currently supports two
- methods: "simple" and "relaxed". The option defaults to
- "relaxed" when unset. Note: the current implementation
- only support using the same canonicalization method for
- both headers and body.
-
- dkim_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 use the $dkim_domain and $dkim_selector expansion
- variables here.
-
- dkim_sign_headers = <expanded string> [OPTIONAL]
-
- When set, this option must expand to (or be specified as)
- a colon-separated list of header names. These headers will
- be included in the message signature. When unspecified,
- the recommended headers will be used. Currently, these
- are:
-
- from:sender:reply-to:subject:date:
- message-id:to:cc:mime-version:content-type:
- content-transfer-encoding:content-id:
- content-description:resent-date:resent-from:
- resent-sender:resent-to:resent-cc:resent-message-id:
- in-reply-to:references:
- list-id:list-help:list-unsubscribe:

-1. Yahoo DomainKeys support
+OCSP Stapling 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.

-2. Brightmail AntiSpam (BMI) suppport
+X.509 PKI certificates expire and can be revoked; to handle this, the
+clients need some way to determine if a particular certificate, from a
+particular Certificate Authority (CA), is still valid. There are three
+main ways to do so.
+
+The simplest way is to serve up a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) with
+an ordinary web-server, regenerating the CRL before it expires. The
+downside is that clients have to periodically re-download a potentially
+huge file from every certificate authority it knows 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. This 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.
+
+If Exim is built with EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP and it was built with OpenSSL,
+then it gains a new global option: "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_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.
+
+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.
+
+Also, given EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP and OpenSSL, the smtp transport gains
+a "hosts_require_ocsp" option; a host-list for which an OCSP Stapling
+is requested and required for the connection to proceed. The host(s)
+should also be in "hosts_require_tls", and "tls_verify_certificates"
+configured for the transport.
+
+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).
+
+At this point in time, we're gathering feedback on use, to determine if
+it's worth adding complexity to the Exim daemon to periodically re-fetch
+OCSP files and somehow handling multiple files.
+
+ 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 fail mode seen was the OCSP Signer cert expiring before the end
+ of vailidity of the OCSP proof. The checking done by Exim/OpenSSL
+ noted this as invalid overall, but the re-fetch script did not.

--------------------------------------------------------------
To learn more about SPF, visit http://www.openspf.org. This
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

list. Please see section 10 on how you can do this.
+ Note: in case of "Best-guess" (see below), the convention is
+ to put this string in a header called X-SPF-Guess: instead.
+
$spf_result
This contains the outcome of the SPF check in string form,
one of pass, fail, softfail, none, neutral, err_perm or
This contains a string that can be used in a SMTP response
to the calling party. Useful for "fail".
+In addition to SPF, you can also perform checks for so-called
+"Best-guess". Strictly speaking, "Best-guess" is not standard
+SPF, but it is supported by the same framework that enables SPF
+capability. Refer to http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Best_guess_record
+for a description of what it means.
+
+To access this feature, simply use the spf_guess condition in place
+of the spf one. For example:
+
+/* -----------------
+deny message = $sender_host_address doesn't look trustworthy to me
+ spf_guess = fail
+--------------------- */
+
+In case you decide to reject messages based on this check, you
+should note that although it uses the same framework, "Best-guess"
+is NOT SPF, and therefore you should not mention SPF at all in your
+reject message.
+
+When the spf_guess condition has run, it sets up the same expansion
+variables as when spf condition is run, described above.
+
+Additionally, since Best-guess is not standardized, you may redefine
+what "Best-guess" means to you by redefining spf_guess variable in
+global config. For example, the following:
+
+/* -----------------
+spf_guess = v=spf1 a/16 mx/16 ptr ?all
+--------------------- */
+
+would relax host matching rules to a broader network range.
-4. SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme) Support
+SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme) Support
--------------------------------------------------------------
Exiscan currently includes SRS support via Miles Wilton's
in your Local/Makefile.
+DCC Support
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+*) Building exim
+
+In order to build exim with DCC support add
+
+EXPERIMENTAL_DCC=yes
+
+to your Makefile. (Re-)build/install exim. exim -d should show
+EXPERIMENTAL_DCC under "Support for".
+
+
+*) Configuration
+
+In the main section of exim.cf add at least
+ dccifd_address = /usr/local/dcc/var/dccifd
+or
+ dccifd_address = <ip> <port>
+
+In the DATA ACL you can use the new condition
+ dcc = *
+
+After that "$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 acutally uses.
+
+DMARC Support
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+DMARC combines feedback from SPF, DKIM, and header From: in order
+to attempt to provide better indicators of the authenticity of an
+email. This document does not explain the fundamentals, you
+should read and understand how it works by visiting the website at
+http://www.dmarc.org/.
+
+DMARC support is added via the libopendmarc library. Visit:
+
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/opendmarc/
+
+to obtain a copy, or find it in your favorite rpm package
+repository. If building from source, this description assumes
+that headers will be in /usr/local/include, and that the libraries
+are in /usr/local/lib.
+
+1. To compile Exim with DMARC support, you must first enable SPF.
+Please read the above section on enabling the EXPERIMENTAL_SPF
+feature. You must also have DKIM support, so you cannot set the
+DISABLE_DKIM feature. Once both of those conditions have been met
+you can enable DMARC in Local/Makefile:
+
+EXPERIMENTAL_DMARC=yes
+LDFLAGS += -lopendmarc
+# CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include
+# LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib
+
+The first line sets the feature to include the correct code, and
+the second line says to link the libopendmarc libraries into the
+exim binary. The commented out lines should be uncommented if you
+built opendmarc from source and installed in the default location.
+Adjust the paths if you installed them elsewhere, but you do not
+need to uncomment them if an rpm (or you) installed them in the
+package controlled locations (/usr/include and /usr/lib).
+
+
+2. Use the following global settings to configure DMARC:
+
+Required:
+dmarc_tld_file Defines the location of a text file of valid
+ top level domains the opendmarc library uses
+ during domain parsing. Maintained by Mozilla,
+ the most current version can be downloaded
+ from a link at http://publicsuffix.org/list/.
+
+Optional:
+dmarc_history_file Defines the location of a file to log results
+ of dmarc verification on inbound emails. The
+ contents are importable by the opendmarc tools
+ which will manage the data, send out DMARC
+ reports, and expire the data. Make sure the
+ directory of this file is writable by the user
+ exim runs as.
+
+dmarc_forensic_sender The 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
+
+
+3. By default, the DMARC processing will run for any remote,
+non-authenticated user. It makes sense to only verify DMARC
+status of messages coming from remote, untrusted sources. You can
+use standard conditions such as hosts, senders, etc, to decide that
+DMARC verification should *not* be performed for them and disable
+DMARC with a control setting:
+
+ control = dmarc_verify_disable
+
+A DMARC record can also specify a "forensic address", which gives
+exim an email address to submit reports about failed alignment.
+Exim does not do this by default because in certain conditions it
+results in unintended information leakage (what lists a user might
+be subscribed to, etc). You must configure exim to submit forensic
+reports to the owner of the domain. If the DMARC record contains a
+forensic address and you specify the control statement below, then
+exim will send these forensic emails. It's also advised that you
+configure a dmarc_forensic_sender because the default sender address
+construction might be inadequate.
+
+ control = dmarc_forensic_enable
+
+(AGAIN: You can choose not to send these forensic reports by simply
+not putting the dmarc_forensic_enable control line at any point in
+your exim config. If you don't tell it to send them, it will not
+send them.)
+
+There are no options to either control. Both must appear before
+the DATA acl.
+
+
+4. You can now run DMARC checks in incoming SMTP by using the
+"dmarc_status" ACL condition in the DATA ACL. You are required to
+call the spf condition first in the ACLs, then the "dmarc_status"
+condition. Putting this condition in the ACLs is required in order
+for a DMARC check to actually occur. All of the variables are set
+up before the DATA ACL, but there is no actual DMARC check that
+occurs until a "dmarc_status" condition is encountered in the ACLs.
+
+The dmarc_status condition takes a list of strings on its
+right-hand side. These strings describe recommended action based
+on the DMARC check. To understand what the policy recommendations
+mean, refer to the DMARC website above. Valid strings are:
+
+ o accept The DMARC check passed and the library recommends
+ accepting the email.
+ o reject The DMARC check failed and the library recommends
+ rejecting the email.
+ o quarantine The DMARC check failed and the library recommends
+ keeping it for further inspection.
+ o norecord No policy section in the DMARC record for this
+ sender domain.
+ o nofrom Unable to determine the domain of the sender.
+ o none There is no DMARC record for this sender domain.
+ o error Library error or dns error.
+
+You can prefix each string with an exclamation mark to invert its
+meaning, for example "!accept" will match all results but
+"accept". The string list is evaluated left-to-right in a
+short-circuit fashion. When a string matches the outcome of the
+DMARC check, the condition succeeds. If none of the listed
+strings matches the outcome of the DMARC check, the condition
+fails.
+
+Of course, you can also use any other lookup method that Exim
+supports, including LDAP, Postgres, MySQL, etc, as long as the
+result is a list of colon-separated strings;
+
+Several expansion variables are set before the DATA ACL is
+processed, and you can use them in this ACL. The following
+expansion variables are available:
+
+ o $dmarc_status
+ This is a one word status indicating what the DMARC library
+ thinks of the email.
+
+ o $dmarc_status_text
+ This is a slightly longer, human readable status.
+
+ o $dmarc_used_domain
+ This is the domain which DMARC used to look up the DMARC
+ policy record.
+
+ o $dmarc_ar_header
+ This is the entire Authentication-Results header which you can
+ add using an add_header modifier.
+
+
+5. How to enable DMARC advanced operation:
+By default, Exim's DMARC configuration is intended to be
+non-intrusive and conservative. To facilitate this, Exim will not
+create any type of logging files without explicit configuration by
+you, the admin. Nor will Exim send out any emails/reports about
+DMARC issues without explicit configuration by you, the admin (other
+than typical bounce messages that may come about due to ACL
+processing or failure delivery issues).
+
+In order to log statistics suitable to be imported by the opendmarc
+tools, you need to:
+a. Configure the global setting dmarc_history_file.
+b. Configure cron jobs to call the appropriate opendmarc history
+ import scripts and truncating the dmarc_history_file.
+
+In order to send forensic reports, you need to:
+a. Configure the global setting dmarc_forensic_sender.
+b. Configure, somewhere before the DATA ACL, the control option to
+ enable sending DMARC forensic reports.
+
+
+6. Example usage:
+(RCPT ACL)
+ warn domains = +local_domains
+ hosts = +local_hosts
+ control = dmarc_verify_disable
+
+ warn !domains = +screwed_up_dmarc_records
+ control = dmarc_enable_forensic
+
+(DATA ACL)
+ warn dmarc_status = accept : none : off
+ !authenticated = *
+ log_message = DMARC DEBUG: $dmarc_status $dmarc_used_domain
+ add_header = $dmarc_ar_header
+
+ warn dmarc_status = !accept
+ !authenticated = *
+ log_message = DMARC DEBUG: '$dmarc_status' for $dmarc_used_domain
+
+ warn dmarc_status = quarantine
+ !authenticated = *
+ set $acl_m_quarantine = 1
+ # Do something in a transport with this flag variable
+
+ deny dmarc_status = reject
+ !authenticated = *
+ message = Message from $domain_used_domain failed sender's DMARC policy, REJECT
