-Transport post-delivery actions
+Event Actions
--------------------------------------------------------------
-An arbitrary per-transport string can be expanded on successful delivery,
-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
(not available otherwise) into a database.
In order to use the feature, you must compile with
-EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA=yes
+EXPERIMENTAL_EVENT=yes
in your Local/Makefile
-and define the tpda_event_action option in the transport, to
-be expanded when the event fires.
+and define one or both of
+- 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:delivery
- msg:host:defer
- tcp:connect
- tcp:close
- tls:cert
- smtp:connect
-
-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.

local_part, domain
tls_out_peercert
lookup_dnssec_authenticated, tls_out_dane

An example might look like:

{${lookup pgsql {SELECT * FROM record_Delivery( \
'${quote_pgsql:$sender_address_domain}',\
'${quote_pgsql:${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}', \
'${quote_pgsql:$message_exim_id}')}} \
} {}}

-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.

return an empty string. Should it return anything else the
following will be forced:

tcp:connect do not connect
tcp:close (ignored)
tls:cert refuse verification
smtp:connect close connection
+No other use is made of the result string.

-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.
+SOCKS
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Support for proxying outbound SMTP via a Socks 5 proxy
+(RFC 1928) is included if Exim is compiled with
+EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS defined.
-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.
+If an smtp transport has a nonempty socks_proxy option
+defined, this is active. The option is expanded and
+should be a list (colon-separated by default) of
+proxy specifiers. Each proxy specifier is a list
+(space-separated by default) where the initial element
+is an IP address and any subsequent elements are options.
-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.
+Options are a string <name>=<value>.
+These options are currently defined:
+- "auth", with possible values "none" and "name".
+ Using "name" selects username/password authentication
+ per RFC 1929. Default is "none".
+- "name" sets the authentication username. Default is empty.
+- "pass" sets the authentication password. Default is empty.
+- "port" sets the tcp port number for the proxy. Default is 1080.
+- "tmo" sets a connection timeout in seconds for this proxy. Default is 5.
+Proxies from the list are tried in order until
+one responds. The timeout for the overall connection
+applies to the set of proxied attempts.
-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 events are used, the remote IP/port during a
+tcp:connect event will be that of the proxy.
-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
by (a) is thought to be smaller than that of the set
of root CAs.
+It also allows the server to declare (implicitly) that
+connections to it should use TLS. An MITM could simply
+fail to pass on a server's STARTTLS.
+
DANE scales better than having to maintain (and
side-channel communicate) copies of server certificates
for every possible target server. It also scales
operation of DANE.

-usage" of DANE_TA(2) or DANE_EE(3). The latter specifies

the End Entity directly, i.e. the certificate involved

during the TLS handshake); this is appropriate for a
single system, using a self-signed certificate.

Currently dnssec_request_domains must be active (need to think about that)

There is a new variable $tls_out_dane which will have "yes" if
