+Event Actions
--------------------------------------------------------------
-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.
+(Renamed from TPDA, Transport post-delivery actions)
+
+An arbitrary per-transport string can be expanded upon various transport events.
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
In order to use the feature, you must compile with
-EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA=yes
+EXPERIMENTAL_EVENT=yes
in your Local/Makefile
and define one or both of
-- the tpda_event_action option in the transport
-- the delivery_event_action
+- the event_action option in the transport
+- the event_action main option
to be expanded when the event fires.
-A new variable, $tpda_event, is set to the event type when the
+A new variable, $event_name, is set to the event type when the
expansion is done. The current list of events is:
- 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
-
-The expansion is called for all event types, and should use the $tpda_event
+ msg:complete after main per message
+ msg:delivery after transport per recipient
+ msg:host:defer after transport per attempt
+ msg:fail:delivery after main per recipient
+ msg:fail:internal after main per recipient
+ tcp:connect before transport per connection
+ tcp:close after transport per connection
+ tls:cert before both per certificate in verification chain
+ smtp:connect after transport per connection
+
+The expansion is called for all event types, and should use the $event_name
value to decide when to act. The variable data is a colon-separated
list, describing an event tree.
-There is an auxilary variable, $tpda_data, for which the
+There is an auxilary variable, $event_data, for which the
content is event_dependent:
msg:delivery smtp confirmation mssage
tls:cert verification chain depth
smtp:connect smtp banner
-The msg:host:defer event populates one extra variable, $tpda_defer_errno.
+The msg:host:defer event populates one extra variable, $event_defer_errno.
The following variables are likely to be useful depending on the event type:
tls_out_peercert
lookup_dnssec_authenticated, tls_out_dane
sending_ip_address, sending_port
- message_exim_id
+ message_exim_id, verify_mode
An example might look like:
-tpda_event_action = ${if = {msg:delivery}{$tpda_event} \
+event_action = ${if eq {msg:delivery}{$event_name} \
{${lookup pgsql {SELECT * FROM record_Delivery( \
'${quote_pgsql:$sender_address_domain}',\
'${quote_pgsql:${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}', \
'${quote_pgsql:$message_exim_id}')}} \
} {}}
-The string is expanded for each of the supported events and any
-side-effects will happen. The result is then discarded.
+The string is expanded when each of the supported events occur
+and any side-effects of the expansion will happen.
Note that for complex operations an ACL expansion can be used.
-The expansion of the tpda_event_action option should normally
+The expansion of the event_action option should normally
return an empty string. Should it return anything else the
following will be forced:
tls:cert refuse verification
smtp:connect close connection
+No other use is made of the result string.
+Known issues:
+- the tls:cert event is only called for the cert chain elements
+ received over the wire, with GnuTLS. OpenSSL gives the entire
+ chain including thse loaded locally.

-DSN Support
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-DSN Support tries to add RFC 3461 support to Exim. It adds support for
-*) the additional parameters for MAIL FROM and RCPT TO
-*) RFC complient MIME DSN messages for all of
- success, failure and delay notifications
-*) dsn_advertise_hosts main option to select which hosts are able
- to use the extension
-*) dsn_lasthop router switch to end DSN processing
-
-In case of failure reports this means that the last three parts, the message body
-intro, size info and final text, of the defined template are ignored since there is no
-logical place to put them in the MIME message.
-
-All the other changes are made without changing any defaults
-
-Building exim:
---------------
-
-Define
-EXPERIMENTAL_DSN=YES
-in your Local/Makefile.
-
-Configuration:
---------------
-All DSNs are sent in MIME format if you built exim with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN=YES
-No option needed to activate it, and no way to turn it off.
-
-Failure and delay DSNs are triggered as usual except a sender used NOTIFY=...
-to prevent them.
-
-Support for Success DSNs is added and activated by NOTIFY=SUCCESS by clients.
-
-Add
-dsn_advertise_hosts = *
-or a more restrictive host_list to announce DSN in EHLO answers
-
-Those hosts can then use NOTIFY,ENVID,RET,ORCPT options.
-
-If a message is relayed to a DSN aware host without changing the envelope
-recipient the options are passed along and no success DSN is generated.
-
-A redirect router will always trigger a success DSN if requested and the DSN
-options are not passed any further.
-
-A success DSN always contains the recipient address as submitted by the
-client as required by RFC. Rewritten addresses are never exposed.
-
-If you used DSN patch up to 1.3 before remove all "dsn_process" switches from
-your routers since you don't need them anymore. There is no way to "gag"
-success DSNs anymore. Announcing DSN means answering as requested.
-
-You can prevent Exim from passing DSN options along to other DSN aware hosts by defining
-dsn_lasthop
-in a router. Exim will then send the success DSN himself if requested as if
-the next hop does not support DSN.
-Adding it to a redirect router makes no difference.
-
-
-Certificate name checking
---------------------------------------------------------------
-The X509 certificates used for TLS are supposed be verified
-that they are owned by the expected host. The coding of TLS
-support to date has not made these checks.
-
-If built with EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES defined, code is
-included to do so, and a new smtp transport option
-"tls_verify_cert_hostname" supported which takes a list of
-names for which the checks must be made. The host must
-also be in "tls_verify_hosts".
-
-Both Subject and Subject-Alternate-Name certificate fields
-are supported, as are wildcard certificates (limited to
-a single wildcard being the initial component of a 3-or-more
-component FQDN).
DANE
A TLSA lookup will be done if either of the above options match
and the host-lookup succeded using dnssec.
-If the TLSA lookup succeeds, a TLS connection will be required
-for the host.
+If a TLSA lookup is done and succeeds, a DANE-verified TLS connection
+will be required for the host.
(TODO: specify when fallback happens vs. when the host is not used)
-If dane is in use the following transport options are ignored:
+If DANE is requested and useable (see above) the following transport
+options are ignored:
hosts_require_tls
tls_verify_hosts
tls_try_verify_hosts
tls_crl
tls_verify_cert_hostnames
+If DANE is not usable, whether requested or not, and CA-anchored
+verification evaluation is wanted, the above variables should be set
+appropriately.
+
Currently dnssec_request_domains must be active (need to think about that)
and dnssec_require_domains is ignored.
There is a new variable $tls_out_dane which will have "yes" if
verification succeeded using DANE and "no" otherwise (only useful
-in combination with EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA), and a new variable
+in combination with EXPERIMENTAL_EVENT), and a new variable
$tls_out_tlsa_usage (detailed above).
