+SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme) Support (using libsrs_alt)
--------------------------------------------------------------
+See also the main docs, for an alternative native support implementation.
-Exiscan currently includes SRS support via Miles Wilton's
+Exim can be built with SRS support using Miles Wilton's
libsrs_alt library. The current version of the supported
library is 0.5, there are reports of 1.0 working.
Unpack the tarball, then refer to MTAs/README.EXIM
to proceed. You need to set
-EXPERIMENTAL_SRS=yes
+EXPERIMENTAL_SRS_ALT=yes
in your Local/Makefile.
+The built-in support, included by SUPPORT_SRS,
+shuold *not* be enabled if you wish to use the libsrs_alt
+version.
+
+The following main-section options become available:
+ srs_config string
+ srs_hashlength int
+ srs_hashmin int
+ srs_maxage int
+ srs_secrets string
+ srs_usehash bool
+ srs_usetimestamp bool
+
+The redirect router gains these options (all of type string, unset by default):

+ srs_alias
+ srs_condition
+ srs_dbinsert
+ srs_dbselect
+
+The following variables become available:
+ $srs_db_address
+ $srs_db_key
+ $srs_orig_recipient
+ $srs_orig_sender
+ $srs_recipient
+ $srs_status
+
+The predefined feature-macro _HAVE_SRS will be present.
+Additional delivery log line elements, tagged with "SRS=" will show the srs sender.

-DMARC Support
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-DMARC combines feedback from SPF, DKIM, and header From: in order
-to attempt to provide better indicators of the authenticity of an
-email. This document does not explain the fundamentals, you
-should read and understand how it works by visiting the website at
-http://www.dmarc.org/.
-
-DMARC support is added via the libopendmarc library. Visit:
-
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/opendmarc/
-
-to obtain a copy, or find it in your favorite rpm 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. To compile Exim with DMARC support, you must first enable SPF.
-Please read the Local/Makefile comments on enabling the SUPPORT_SPF
-feature. You must also have DKIM support, so you cannot set the
-DISABLE_DKIM feature. Once both of those conditions have been met
-you can enable DMARC in Local/Makefile:
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_DMARC=yes
-LDFLAGS += -lopendmarc
-# 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 libopendmarc libraries into the
-exim binary. The commented out lines should be uncommented if you
-built opendmarc 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 DMARC:
-
-Optional:
-dmarc_tld_file Defines the location of a text file of valid
- top level domains the opendmarc library uses
- during domain parsing. Maintained by Mozilla,
- the most current version can be downloaded
- from a link at http://publicsuffix.org/list/.
- If unset, "/etc/exim/opendmarc.tlds" (hardcoded)
- is used.
-
-Optional:
-dmarc_history_file Defines the location of a file to log results
- of dmarc verification on inbound emails. The
- contents are importable by the opendmarc tools
- which will manage the data, send out DMARC
- reports, and expire the data. Make sure the
- directory of this file is writable by the user
- exim runs as.
-
-dmarc_forensic_sender The email address to use when sending a
- forensic report detailing alignment failures
- if a sender domain's dmarc record specifies it
- and you have configured Exim to send them.
- Default: do-not-reply@$default_hostname
-
-
-3. By default, the DMARC processing will run for any remote,
-non-authenticated user. It makes sense to only verify DMARC
-status of messages coming from remote, untrusted sources. You can
-use standard conditions such as hosts, senders, etc, to decide that
-DMARC verification should *not* be performed for them and disable
-DMARC with a control setting:
-
- control = dmarc_disable_verify
-
-A DMARC record can also specify a "forensic address", which gives
-exim an email address to submit reports about failed alignment.
-Exim does not do this by default because in certain conditions it
-results in unintended information leakage (what lists a user might
-be subscribed to, etc). You must configure exim to submit forensic
-reports to the owner of the domain. If the DMARC record contains a
-forensic address and you specify the control statement below, then
-exim will send these forensic emails. It's also advised that you
-configure a dmarc_forensic_sender because the default sender address
-construction might be inadequate.
-
- control = dmarc_enable_forensic
-
-(AGAIN: You can choose not to send these forensic reports by simply
-not putting the dmarc_enable_forensic control line at any point in
-your exim config. If you don't tell it to send them, it will not
-send them.)
-
-There are no options to either control. Both must appear before
-the DATA acl.
-
-
-4. You can now run DMARC checks in incoming SMTP 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:
-
- o accept The DMARC check passed and the library recommends
- accepting the email.
- o reject The DMARC check failed and the library recommends
- rejecting the email.
- o quarantine The DMARC check failed and the library recommends
- keeping it for further inspection.
- o none The DMARC check passed and the library recommends
- no specific action, neutral.
- o norecord No policy section in the DMARC record for this
- sender domain.
- o nofrom Unable to determine the domain of the sender.
- o temperror Library error or dns error.
- o off The DMARC check was disabled for this email.
-
-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.
-
-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:
-
- o $dmarc_status
- This 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). The actual policy declared
- in the DMARC record is in a separate expansion variable.
-
- o $dmarc_status_text
- This is a slightly longer, human readable status.
-
- o $dmarc_used_domain
- This is the domain which DMARC used to look up the DMARC
- policy record.
-
- o $dmarc_domain_policy
- This is the policy declared in the DMARC record. Valid values
- are "none", "reject" and "quarantine". It is blank when there
- is any error, including no DMARC record.
-
- o $dmarc_ar_header
- This is the entire Authentication-Results header which you can
- add using an add_header modifier.
-
-
-5. How to enable DMARC advanced operation:
-By default, Exim's DMARC configuration is intended to be
-non-intrusive and conservative. To facilitate this, Exim will not
-create any type of logging files without explicit configuration by
-you, the admin. Nor will Exim send out any emails/reports about
-DMARC issues without explicit configuration by you, the admin (other
-than typical bounce messages that may come about due to ACL
-processing or failure delivery issues).
-
-In order to log statistics suitable to be imported by the opendmarc
-tools, you need to:
-a. Configure the global setting dmarc_history_file.
-b. Configure cron jobs to call the appropriate opendmarc history
- import scripts and truncating the dmarc_history_file.
-
-In order to send forensic reports, you need to:
-a. Configure the global setting dmarc_forensic_sender.
-b. Configure, somewhere before the DATA ACL, the control option to
- enable sending DMARC forensic reports.
-
-
-6. Example usage:
-(RCPT ACL)
- warn domains = +local_domains
- hosts = +local_hosts
- control = dmarc_disable_verify
-
- warn !domains = +screwed_up_dmarc_records
- control = dmarc_enable_forensic
-
- warn condition = (lookup if destined to mailing list)
- set acl_m_mailing_list = 1
-
-(DATA ACL)
- warn dmarc_status = accept : none : off
- !authenticated = *
- log_message = DMARC DEBUG: $dmarc_status $dmarc_used_domain
- add_header = $dmarc_ar_header
-
- warn dmarc_status = !accept
- !authenticated = *
- log_message = DMARC DEBUG: '$dmarc_status' for $dmarc_used_domain
-
- warn dmarc_status = quarantine
- !authenticated = *
- set $acl_m_quarantine = 1
- # Do something in a transport with this flag variable
-
- deny condition = ${if eq{$dmarc_domain_policy}{reject}}
- condition = ${if eq{$acl_m_mailing_list}{1}}
- message = Messages from $dmarc_used_domain break mailing lists
-
- deny dmarc_status = reject
- !authenticated = *
- message = Message from $dmarc_used_domain failed sender's DMARC policy, REJECT

DSN extra information
---------------------
If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO extra information will be added
Note that non-RFC-documented field names and data types are used.
-LMDB Lookup support
--------------------
-LMDB is an ultra-fast, ultra-compact, crash-proof key-value embedded data store.
-It is modeled loosely on the BerkeleyDB API. You should read about the feature
-set as well as operation modes at https://symas.com/products/lightning-memory-mapped-database/
-
-LMDB single key lookup support is provided by linking to the LMDB C library.
-The current implementation does not support writing to the LMDB database.
-
-Visit https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb to download the library 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 LMDB lookup support add or uncomment
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_LMDB=yes
-
-to your Local/Makefile. (Re-)build/install exim. exim -d should show
-Experimental_LMDB in the line "Support for:".
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_LMDB=yes
-LDFLAGS += -llmdb
-# 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 LMDB libraries into the
-exim binary. The commented out lines should be uncommented if you
-built LMDB 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. Create your LMDB files, you can use the mdb_load utility which is
-part of the LMDB distribution our your favourite language bindings.
-
-3. Add the single key lookups to your exim.conf file, example lookups
-are below.
-
-${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lmdb{/var/lib/baruwa/data/db/relaydomains.mdb}{$value}}
-${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lmdb{/var/lib/baruwa/data/db/relaydomains.mdb}{$value}fail}
-${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lmdb{/var/lib/baruwa/data/db/relaydomains.mdb}}

Queuefile transport
-------------------
Queuefile is a pseudo transport which does not perform final delivery.
The spool files can then be processed by external processes and then
requeued into exim spool directories for final delivery.
+However, note carefully the warnings in the main documentation on
+qpool file formats.
The motivation/inspiration for the transport is to allow external
processes to access email queued by exim and have access to all the
The transport only takes one option:
* directory - This is used to specify the directory messages should be
-copied to
+copied to. Expanded.
The generic transport options (body_only, current_directory, disable_logging,
debug_print, delivery_date_add, envelope_to_add, event_action, group,
Experimental_QUEUEFILE in the line "Support for:".
+ARC support
+-----------
+Specification: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dmarc-arc-protocol-11
+Note that this is not an RFC yet, so may change.
+
+[RFC 8617 was published 2019/06. Draft 11 was 2018/01. A review of the
+changes has not yet been done]
+
+ARC is intended to support the utility of SPF and DKIM in the presence of
+intermediaries in the transmission path - forwarders and mailinglists -
+by establishing a cryptographically-signed chain in headers.
+
+Normally one would only bother doing ARC-signing when functioning as
+an intermediary. One might do verify for local destinations.
+
+ARC uses the notion of a "ADministrative Management Domain" (ADMD).
+Described in RFC 5598 (section 2.3), this is essentially a set of
+mail-handling systems that mail transits that are all under the control
+of one organisation. A label should be chosen to identify the ADMD.
+Messages should be ARC-verified on entry to the ADMD, and ARC-signed on exit
+from it.
+
+
+Building with ARC Support
+--
+Enable using EXPERIMENTAL_ARC=yes in your Local/Makefile.
+You must also have DKIM present (not disabled), and you very likely
+want to have SPF enabled.
+
+
+Verification
+--
+An ACL condition is provided to perform the "verifier actions" detailed
+in section 6 of the above specification. It may be called from the DATA ACL
+and succeeds if the result matches any of a given list.
+It also records the highest ARC instance number (the chain size)
+and verification result for later use in creating an Authentication-Results:
+standard header.
+
+ verify = arc/<acceptable_list> none:fail:pass
+
+ add_header = :at_start:${authresults {<admd-identifier>}}
+
+ Note that it would be wise to strip incoming messages of A-R headers
+ that claim to be from our own <admd-identifier>.
+
+There are four new variables:
+
+ $arc_state One of pass, fail, none
+ $arc_state_reason (if fail, why)
+ $arc_domains colon-sep list of ARC chain domains, in chain order.
+ problematic elements may have empty list elements
+ $arc_oldest_pass lowest passing instance number of chain
+
+Example:
+ logwrite = oldest-p-ams: <${reduce {$lh_ARC-Authentication-Results:} \
+ {} \
+ {${if = {$arc_oldest_pass} \
+ {${extract {i}{${extract {1}{;}{$item}}}}} \
+ {$item} {$value}}} \
+ }>
+
+Receive log lines for an ARC pass will be tagged "ARC".
+
+
+Signing
+--
+arc_sign = <admd-identifier> : <selector> : <privkey> [ : <options> ]
+An option on the smtp transport, which constructs and prepends to the message
+an ARC set of headers. The textually-first Authentication-Results: header
+is used as a basis (you must have added one on entry to the ADMD).
+Expanded as a whole; if unset, empty or forced-failure then no signing is done.
+If it is set, all of the first three elements must be non-empty.
+
+The fourth element is optional, and if present consists of a comma-separated list
+of options. The options implemented are
+
+ timestamps Add a t= tag to the generated AMS and AS headers, with the
+ current time.
+ expire[=<val>] Add an x= tag to the generated AMS header, with an expiry time.
+ If the value <val> is an plain number it is used unchanged.
+ If it starts with a '+' then the following number is added
+ to the current time, as an offset in seconds.
+ If a value is not given it defaults to a one month offset.
+
+[As of writing, gmail insist that a t= tag on the AS is mandatory]
+
+Caveats:
+ * There must be an Authentication-Results header, presumably added by an ACL
+ while receiving the message, for the same ADMD, for arc_sign to succeed.
+ This requires careful coordination between inbound and outbound logic.
+
+ Only one A-R header is taken account of. This is a limitation versus
+ the ARC spec (which says that all A-R headers from within the ADMD must
+ be used).
+
+ * If passing a message to another system, such as a mailing-list manager
+ (MLM), between receipt and sending, be wary of manipulations to headers made
+ by the MLM.
+ + For instance, Mailman with REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS==3 might improve
+ deliverability in a pre-ARC world, but that option also renames the
+ Authentication-Results header, which breaks signing.
+
+ * Even if you use multiple DKIM keys for different domains, the ARC concept
+ should try to stick to one ADMD, so pick a primary domain and use that for
+ AR headers and outbound signing.
+
+Signing is not compatible with cutthrough delivery; any (before expansion)
+value set for the option will result in cutthrough delivery not being
+used via the transport in question.
+
+
+
+Dovecot authenticator via inet socket
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+If Dovecot is configured similar to :-
+
+service auth {
+...
+#SASL
+ inet_listener {
+ name = exim
+ port = 12345
+ }
+...
+}
+
+then an Exim authenticator can be configured :-
+
+ dovecot-plain:
+ driver = dovecot
+ public_name = PLAIN
+ server_socket = dovecot_server_name 12345
+ server_tls = true
+ server_set_id = $auth1
+
+If the server_socket does not start with a / it is taken as a hostname (or IP);
+and a whitespace-separated port number must be given.
+
+
+
+
+Logging protocol unusual states
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+An extra log_selector, "protocol_detail" has been added in the default build.
+The name may change in future, hence the Experimenal status.
+
+Currrently the only effect is to enable logging, under TLS,
+of a TCP RST received directly after a QUIT (in server mode).
+
+Outlook is consistently doing this; not waiting for the SMTP response
+to its QUIT, not properly closing the TLS session and not properly closing
+the TCP connection. Previously this resulted is an error from SSL_write
+being logged.
