-Event Actions
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-(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_EVENT=yes
-
-in your Local/Makefile
-
-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, $event_name, is set to the event type when the
-expansion is done. The current list of events is:
-
- 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, $event_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
-
-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:
-
- 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, verify_mode
-
-
-An example might look like:
-
-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}}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:$domain}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$local_part}}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:$host_address}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$host}}', \
- '${quote_pgsql:$message_exim_id}')}} \
-} {}}
-
-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 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
-
-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.
-
-
-Redis Lookup
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Redis is open source advanced key-value data store. This document
-does not explain the fundamentals, you should read and understand how
-it works by visiting the website at http://www.redis.io/.
-
-Redis lookup support is added via the hiredis library. Visit:
-
- https://github.com/redis/hiredis
-
-to obtain a copy, or find it in your operating systems 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. In order to build exim with Redis lookup support add
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_REDIS=yes
-
-to your Local/Makefile. (Re-)build/install exim. exim -d should show
-Experimental_Redis in the line "Support for:".
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_REDIS=yes
-LDFLAGS += -lhiredis
-# 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 hiredis libraries into the
-exim binary. The commented out lines should be uncommented if you
-built hiredis 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 Redis lookup support:
-
-Required:
-redis_servers This option provides a list of Redis servers
- and associated connection data, to be used in
- conjunction with redis lookups. The option is
- only available if Exim is configured with Redis
- support.
-
-For example:
-
-redis_servers = 127.0.0.1/10/ - using database 10 with no password
-redis_servers = 127.0.0.1//password - to make use of the default database of 0 with a password
-redis_servers = 127.0.0.1// - for default database of 0 with no password
-
-3. Once you have the Redis servers defined you can then make use of the
-experimental Redis lookup by specifying ${lookup redis{}} in a lookup query.
-
-4. Example usage:
-
-(Host List)
-hostlist relay_from_ips = <\n ${lookup redis{SMEMBERS relay_from_ips}}
-
-Where relay_from_ips is a Redis set which contains entries such as "192.168.0.0/24" "10.0.0.0/8" and so on.
-The result set is returned as
-192.168.0.0/24
-10.0.0.0/8
-..
-.
-
-(Domain list)
-domainlist virtual_domains = ${lookup redis {HGET $domain domain}}
-
-Where $domain is a hash which includes the key 'domain' and the value '$domain'.
-
-(Adding or updating an existing key)
-set acl_c_spammer = ${if eq{${lookup redis{SPAMMER_SET}}}{OK}}
-
-Where SPAMMER_SET is a macro and it is defined as
-
-"SET SPAMMER <some_value>"
-
-(Getting a value from Redis)
-
-set acl_c_spam_host = ${lookup redis{GET...}}
-
-
-Proxy Protocol Support
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Exim now has Experimental "Proxy Protocol" support. It was built on
-specifications from:
-http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
-Above URL revised May 2014 to change version 2 spec:
-http://git.1wt.eu/web?p=haproxy.git;a=commitdiff;h=afb768340c9d7e50d8e
-
-The purpose of this function is so that an application load balancer,
-such as HAProxy, can sit in front of several Exim servers and Exim
-will log the IP that is connecting to the proxy server instead of
-the IP of the proxy server when it connects to Exim. It resets the
-$sender_address_host and $sender_address_port to the IP:port of the
-connection to the proxy. It also re-queries the DNS information for
-this new IP address so that the original sender's hostname and IP
-get logged in the Exim logfile. There is no logging if a host passes or
-fails Proxy Protocol negotiation, but it can easily be determined and
-recorded in an ACL (example is below).
-
-1. To compile Exim with Proxy Protocol support, put this in
-Local/Makefile:
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_PROXY=yes
-
-2. Global configuration settings:
-
-proxy_required_hosts = HOSTLIST
-
-The proxy_required_hosts option will require any IP in that hostlist
-to use Proxy Protocol. The specification of Proxy Protocol is very
-strict, and if proxy negotiation fails, Exim will not allow any SMTP
-command other than QUIT. (See end of this section for an example.)
-The option is expanded when used, so it can be a hostlist as well as
-string of IP addresses. Since it is expanded, specifying an alternate
-separator is supported for ease of use with IPv6 addresses.
-
-To log the IP of the proxy in the incoming logline, add:
- log_selector = +proxy
-
-A default incoming logline (wrapped for appearance) will look like this:
-
- 2013-11-04 09:25:06 1VdNti-0001OY-1V <= me@example.net
- H=mail.example.net [1.2.3.4] P=esmtp S=433
-
-With the log selector enabled, an email that was proxied through a
-Proxy Protocol server at 192.168.1.2 will look like this:
-
- 2013-11-04 09:25:06 1VdNti-0001OY-1V <= me@example.net
- H=mail.example.net [1.2.3.4] P=esmtp PRX=192.168.1.2 S=433
-
-3. In the ACL's the following expansion variables are available.
-
-proxy_host_address The (internal) src IP of the proxy server
- making the connection to the Exim server.
-proxy_host_port The (internal) src port the proxy server is
- using to connect to the Exim server.
-proxy_target_address The dest (public) IP of the remote host to
- the proxy server.
-proxy_target_port The dest port the remote host is using to
- connect to the proxy server.
-proxy_session Boolean, yes/no, the connected host is required
- to use Proxy Protocol.
-
-There is no expansion for a failed proxy session, however you can detect
-it by checking if $proxy_session is true but $proxy_host is empty. As
-an example, in my connect ACL, I have:
-
- warn condition = ${if and{ {bool{$proxy_session}} \
- {eq{$proxy_host_address}{}} } }
- log_message = Failed required proxy protocol negotiation \
- from $sender_host_name [$sender_host_address]
-
- warn condition = ${if and{ {bool{$proxy_session}} \
- {!eq{$proxy_host_address}{}} } }
- # But don't log health probes from the proxy itself
- condition = ${if eq{$proxy_host_address}{$sender_host_address} \
- {false}{true}}
- log_message = Successfully proxied from $sender_host_name \
- [$sender_host_address] through proxy protocol \
- host $proxy_host_address
-
- # Possibly more clear
- warn logwrite = Remote Source Address: $sender_host_address:$sender_host_port
- logwrite = Proxy Target Address: $proxy_target_address:$proxy_target_port
- logwrite = Proxy Internal Address: $proxy_host_address:$proxy_host_port
- logwrite = Internal Server Address: $received_ip_address:$received_port
-
-
-4. Recommended ACL additions:
- - Since the real connections are all coming from your proxy, and the
- per host connection tracking is done before Proxy Protocol is
- evaluated, smtp_accept_max_per_host must be set high enough to
- handle all of the parallel volume you expect per inbound proxy.
- - With the smtp_accept_max_per_host set so high, you lose the ability
- to protect your server from massive numbers of inbound connections
- from one IP. In order to prevent your server from being DOS'd, you
- need to add a per connection ratelimit to your connect ACL. I
- suggest something like this:
-
- # Set max number of connections per host
- LIMIT = 5
- # Or do some kind of IP lookup in a flat file or database
- # LIMIT = ${lookup{$sender_host_address}iplsearch{/etc/exim/proxy_limits}}
-
- defer message = Too many connections from this IP right now
- ratelimit = LIMIT / 5s / per_conn / strict
-
-
-5. Runtime issues to be aware of:
- - The proxy has 3 seconds (hard-coded in the source code) to send the
- required Proxy Protocol header after it connects. If it does not,
- the response to any commands will be:
- "503 Command refused, required Proxy negotiation failed"
- - If the incoming connection is configured in Exim to be a Proxy
- Protocol host, but the proxy is not sending the header, the banner
- does not get sent until the timeout occurs. If the sending host
- sent any input (before the banner), this causes a standard Exim
- synchronization error (i.e. trying to pipeline before PIPELINING
- was advertised).
- - This is not advised, but is mentioned for completeness if you have
- a specific internal configuration that you want this: If the Exim
- server only has an internal IP address and no other machines in your
- organization will connect to it to try to send email, you may
- simply set the hostlist to "*", however, this will prevent local
- mail programs from working because that would require mail from
- localhost to use Proxy Protocol. Again, not advised!
-
-6. Example of a refused connection because the Proxy Protocol header was
-not sent from a host configured to use Proxy Protocol. In the example,
-the 3 second timeout occurred (when a Proxy Protocol banner should have
-been sent), the banner was displayed to the user, but all commands are
-rejected except for QUIT:
-
-# nc mail.example.net 25
-220-mail.example.net, ESMTP Exim 4.82+proxy, Mon, 04 Nov 2013 10:45:59
-220 -0800 RFC's enforced
-EHLO localhost
-503 Command refused, required Proxy negotiation failed
-QUIT
-221 mail.example.net closing connection
-
-
-
-
-SOCKS
-------------------------------------------------------------
-Support for proxying outbound SMTP via a Socks 5 proxy
-(RFC 1928) is included if Exim is compiled with
-EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS defined.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-If events are used, the remote IP/port during a
-tcp:connect event will be that of the proxy.
