Both must appear before +the DATA acl. + +. subsection + +DMARC checks cam be run on incoming SMTP messages 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: +.display +&'accept '& The DMARC check passed and the library recommends accepting the email. +&'reject '& The DMARC check failed and the library recommends rejecting the email. +&'quarantine '& The DMARC check failed and the library recommends keeping it for further inspection. +&'none '& The DMARC check passed and the library recommends no specific action, neutral. +&'norecord '& No policy section in the DMARC record for this sender domain. +&'nofrom '& Unable to determine the domain of the sender. +&'temperror '& Library error or dns error. +&'off '& The DMARC check was disabled for this email. +.endd +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. + +Performing the check sets up information used by the +&%authresults%& expansion item. + +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: + +&$dmarc_status$& +.vindex &$dmarc_status$& +.cindex DMARC result +is a one word status indicating what the DMARC library +thinks of the email. It is a combination of the results of +DMARC record lookup and the SPF/DKIM/DMARC processing results +(if a DMARC record was found).
