The next two lines are concerned with &'ident'& callbacks, as defined by RFC
1413 (hence their names):
.code
-rfc1413_hosts = *
-rfc1413_query_timeout = 5s
+rfc1413_query_hosts = *
+rfc1413_query_timeout = 0s
+.endd
+These settings cause Exim to avoid ident callbacks for all incoming SMTP calls.
+Few hosts offer RFC1413 service these days; calls have to be
+terminated by a timeout and this needlessly delays the startup
+of an incoming SMTP connection.
+If you have hosts for which you trust RFC1413 and need this
+information, you can change this.
+
+This line enables an efficiency SMTP option. It is negociated by clients
+and not expected to cause problems but can be disabled if needed.

-These settings cause Exim to make ident callbacks for all incoming SMTP calls.
-You can limit the hosts to which these calls are made, or change the timeout
-that is used. If you set the timeout to zero, all ident calls are disabled.
-Although they are cheap and can provide useful information for tracing problem
-messages, some hosts and firewalls have problems with ident calls. This can
-result in a timeout instead of an immediate refused connection, leading to
-delays on starting up an incoming SMTP session.
When Exim receives messages over SMTP connections, it expects all addresses to
be fully qualified with a domain, as required by the SMTP definition. However,

+The supported DNS record types are A, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SPF, SRV, TLSA and TXT,

The &(dnsdb)& lookup fails only if all the DNS lookups fail. If there is a
temporary DNS error for any of them, the behaviour is controlled by
-an optional keyword followed by a comma that may appear before the record

-&"defer_lax"&. With &"strict"& behaviour, any temporary DNS error causes the

+The possible keywords are
+&"defer_strict"&, &"defer_never"&, and &"defer_lax"&.
+With &"strict"& behaviour, any temporary DNS error causes the
whole lookup to defer. With &"never"& behaviour, a temporary DNS error is
ignored, and the behaviour is as if the DNS lookup failed to find anything.
With &"lax"& behaviour, all the queries are attempted, but a temporary DNS

+The SERVERS parameter allows you to specify an alternate list of ldap servers

.section "Temporary DNS errors when looking up host information" &&&

- "SECTmixwilhos"
-.cindex "host list" "mixing names and addresses in"
-If you have name lookups or wildcarded host names and IP addresses in the same
-host list, you should normally put the IP addresses first. For example, in an
-ACL you could have:
-.code
-accept hosts = 10.9.8.7 : *.friend.example
-.endd
-The reason for this lies in the left-to-right way that Exim processes lists.
-It can test IP addresses without doing any DNS lookups, but when it reaches an
-item that requires a host name, it fails if it cannot find a host name to
-compare with the pattern. If the above list is given in the opposite order, the
-&%accept%& statement fails for a host whose name cannot be found, even if its
-IP address is 10.9.8.7.
-
-If you really do want to do the name check first, and still recognize the IP
-address, you can rewrite the ACL like this:
-.code
-accept hosts = *.friend.example
-accept hosts = 10.9.8.7
-.endd
-If the first &%accept%& fails, Exim goes on to try the second one. See chapter

+The &%acl_smtp_data_prdr%& ACL is available only when Exim is compiled
+with PRDR support enabled (which is the default).
+It becomes active only when the PRDR feature is negotiated between
+client and server for a message, and more than one recipient
+has been accepted.
+
+The ACL test specfied by &%acl_smtp_data_prdr%& happens after a message
+has been recieved, and is executed for each recipient of the message.
+The test may accept or deny for inividual recipients.
+The &%acl_smtp_data%& will still be called after this ACL and
+can reject the message overall, even if this ACL has accepted it
+for some or all recipients.
+
+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).

+Headers may be modified by routers (subject to the above) and transports.

+Cutthrough delivery is not supported via transport-filters or when DKIM signing
+of outgoing messages is done, because it sends data to the ultimate destination
+before the entire message has been received from the source.
Should the ultimate destination system positively accept or reject the mail,
a corresponding indication is given to the source system and nothing is queued.
Delivery in this mode avoids the generation of a bounce mail to a (possibly faked)
sender when the destination system is doing content-scan based rejection.
