-PRDR support
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Per-Recipient Data Reponse is an SMTP extension proposed by Eric Hall
-in a (now-expired) IETF draft from 2007. It's not hit mainstream
-use, but has apparently been implemented in the META1 MTA.
-
-There is mention at http://mail.aegee.org/intern/sendmail.html
-of a patch to sendmail "to make it PRDR capable".
-
- ref: http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt
-
-If Exim is built with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR there is a new config
-boolean "prdr_enable" which controls whether PRDR is advertised
-as part of an EHLO response, a new "acl_data_smtp_prdr" ACL
-(called for each recipient, after data arrives but before the
-data ACL), and a new smtp transport option "hosts_try_prdr".
-
-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).

OCSP Stapling support
--------------------------------------------------------------
proof expires. The downside is that it requires server support.
If Exim is built with EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP and it was built with OpenSSL,
-then it gains a new global option: "tls_ocsp_file".
+or with GnuTLS 3.1.3 or later, then it gains a new global option:
+"tls_ocsp_file".
The file specified therein is expected to be in DER format, and contain
an OCSP proof. Exim will serve it as part of the TLS handshake. This
on each connection, so a new file will be handled transparently on the
next connection.
-Exim will check for a valid next update timestamp in the OCSP proof;
-if not present, or if the proof has expired, it will be ignored.
+Under OpenSSL Exim will check for a valid next update timestamp in the
+OCSP proof; if not present, or if the proof has expired, it will be
+ignored.
+
+Also, given EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP, the smtp transport gains two options:
+- "hosts_require_ocsp"; a host-list for which an OCSP Stapling
+is requested and required for the connection to proceed. The default
+value is empty.
+- "hosts_request_ocsp"; a host-list for which (additionally) an OCSP
+Stapling is requested (but not necessarily verified). The default
+value is "*" meaning that requests are made unless configured
+otherwise.
-Also, given EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP and OpenSSL, the smtp transport gains
-a "hosts_require_ocsp" option; a host-list for which an OCSP Stapling
-is requested and required for the connection to proceed. The host(s)
-should also be in "hosts_require_tls", and "tls_verify_certificates"
-configured for the transport.
+The host(s) should also be in "hosts_require_tls", and
+"tls_verify_certificates" configured for the transport.
For the client to be able to verify the stapled OCSP the server must
also supply, in its stapled information, any intermediate
intermediate certificates should be added to the server OCSP stapling
file (named by tls_ocsp_file).
+Note that the proof only covers the terminal server certificate,
+not any of the chain from CA to it.
+
At this point in time, we're gathering feedback on use, to determine if
it's worth adding complexity to the Exim daemon to periodically re-fetch
OCSP files and somehow handling multiple files.

server certificate, if the CA is helpful.

+Transport post-delivery 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.
+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 set
+
+EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA=yes
+
+in your Local/Makefile
+
+and define the expandable strings in the runtime config file, to
+be executed at end of delivery.
+
+Additionally, there are 6 more variables, available at end of
+delivery:
+
+tpda_delivery_ip IP of host, which has accepted delivery
+tpda_delivery_port Port of remote host which has accepted delivery
+tpda_delivery_fqdn FQDN of host, which has accepted delivery
+tpda_delivery_local_part local part of address being delivered
+tpda_delivery_domain domain part of address being delivered
+tpda_delivery_confirmation SMTP confirmation message
+
+In case of a deferral caused by a host-error:
+tpda_defer_errno Error number
+tpda_defer_errstr Error string possibly containing more details
+
+The $router_name and $transport_name variables are also usable.
+
+
+To take action after successful deliveries, set the following option
+on any transport of interest.
+
+tpda_delivery_action
+
+An example might look like:
+
+tpda_delivery_action = \
+${lookup pgsql {SELECT * FROM record_Delivery( \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$sender_address_domain}',\
+ '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$tpda_delivery_domain}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$tpda_delivery_local_part}}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$tpda_delivery_ip}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$tpda_delivery_fqdn}}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$message_exim_id}')}}
+
+The string is expanded after the delivery completes and any
+side-effects will happen. The result is then discarded.
+Note that for complex operations an ACL expansion can be used.
+
+
+In order to log host deferrals, add the following option to an SMTP
+transport:
+
+tpda_host_defer_action
+
+This is a private option of the SMTP transport. It is intended to
+log failures of remote hosts. It is executed only when exim has
+attempted to deliver a message to a remote host and failed due to
+an error which doesn't seem to be related to the individual
+message, sender, or recipient address.
+See section 47.2 of the exim documentation for more details on how
+this is determined.
+
+Example:
+
+tpda_host_defer_action = \
+${lookup mysql {insert into delivlog set \
+ msgid = '${quote_mysql:$message_exim_id}', \
+ senderlp = '${quote_mysql:${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}', \
+ senderdom = '${quote_mysql:$sender_address_domain}', \
+ delivlp = '${quote_mysql:${lc:$tpda_delivery_local_part}}', \
+ delivdom = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_domain}', \
+ delivip = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_ip}', \
+ delivport = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_port}', \
+ delivfqdn = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_fqdn}', \
+ deliverrno = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_defer_errno}', \
+ deliverrstr = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_defer_errstr}' \
+ }}
+
+
+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 = ${lookup redis{GET...}}
+
+
+Proxy Protocol Support
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Exim now has Experimental "Proxy Protocol" support. It was built on
+specifications from:
+http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
+
+The purpose of this function is so that an application load balancer,
+such as HAProxy, can sit in front of several Exim servers and Exim
+will log the IP that is connecting to the proxy server instead of
+the IP of the proxy server when it connects to Exim. It resets the
+$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. Runtime issues to be aware of:
+ - 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.
+ - 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!
+
+5. 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
