+This is an option that is exclusively for use by the Exim testing suite. It is not
recognized when Exim is run normally. It allows for the setting up of explicit
&"queue times"& so that various warning/retry features can be tested.
The first three non-comment configuration lines are as follows:
.code
-domainlist local_domains = @
+domainlist local_domains = @
domainlist relay_to_domains =
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1
.endd
fact authenticate until you complete the authenticator definitions.
.code
require message = relay not permitted
- domains = +local_domains : +relay_domains
+ domains = +local_domains : +relay_to_domains
.endd
This statement rejects the address if its domain is neither a local domain nor
one of the domains for which this host is a relay.
.endd
In a list, the syntax is similar. For example:
.code
-domainlist relay_domains = sqlite;/some/thing/sqlitedb \
+domainlist relay_to_domains = sqlite;/some/thing/sqlitedb \
select * from relays where ip='$sender_host_address';
.endd
The only character affected by the &%quote_sqlite%& operator is a single
subject having matched any of the patterns, it is in the set if the last item
was a negative one, but not if it was a positive one. For example, the list in
.code
-domainlist relay_domains = !a.b.c : *.b.c
+domainlist relay_to_domains = !a.b.c : *.b.c
.endd
matches any domain ending in &'.b.c'& except for &'a.b.c'&. Domains that match
neither &'a.b.c'& nor &'*.b.c'& do not match, because the last item in the
list is positive. However, if the setting were
.code
-domainlist relay_domains = !a.b.c
+domainlist relay_to_domains = !a.b.c
.endd
then all domains other than &'a.b.c'& would match because the last item in the
list is negative. In other words, a list that ends with a negative item behaves
respectively. Then there follows the name that you are defining, followed by an
equals sign and the list itself. For example:
.code
-hostlist relay_hosts = 192.168.23.0/24 : my.friend.example
+hostlist relay_from_hosts = 192.168.23.0/24 : my.friend.example
addresslist bad_senders = cdb;/etc/badsenders
.endd
A named list may refer to other named lists:
surrounding the colons is ignored. For example:
.code
aol.com: spammer1 : spammer2 : ^[0-9]+$ :
-spammer3 : spammer4
+ spammer3 : spammer4
.endd
As in all colon-separated lists in Exim, a colon can be included in an item by
doubling.
This item inserts &"basic"& header lines. It is described with the &%header%&
expansion item below.

.cindex "certificate" "self-signed"
You can create a self-signed certificate using the &'req'& command provided
with OpenSSL, like this:
+. ==== Do not shorten the duration here without reading and considering
+. ==== the text below. Please leave it at 9999 days.
.code
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout file1 -out file2 \
-days 9999 -nodes
prompting for the passphrase. This is not helpful if you are going to use
this certificate and key in an MTA, where prompting is not possible.

+. ==== debt I create, in terms of storing up trouble for my later years, the
+. ==== happier I will be then. We really have reached the point where we

+. ==== pause before proceeding, instead of leaving all the fixes until two
+. ==== years before 2^31 seconds after the 1970 Unix epoch.
+. ==== -pdp, 2012
+NB: we are now past the point where 9999 days takes us past the 32-bit Unix
+epoch. If your system uses unsigned time_t (most do) and is 32-bit, then
+the above command might produce a date in the past. Think carefully about
+the lifetime of the systems you're deploying, and either reduce the duration
+of the certificate or reconsider your platform deployment. (At time of
+writing, reducing the duration is the most likely choice, but the inexorable
+progression of time takes us steadily towards an era where this will not
+be a sensible resolution).
+
A self-signed certificate made in this way is sufficient for testing, and
may be adequate for all your requirements if you are mainly interested in
encrypting transfers, and not in secure identification.
If &%log_message%& is not present, a &%warn%& verb just checks its conditions
and obeys any &"immediate"& modifiers (such as &%control%&, &%set%&,

+from an incoming message, as in this example:
+.code
+warn message = Remove internal headers
+ remove_header = x-route-mail1 : x-route-mail2
+.endd
+The &%remove_header%& modifier is permitted in the MAIL, RCPT, PREDATA, DATA,
+MIME, and non-SMTP ACLs (in other words, those that are concerned with
+receiving a message). The message must ultimately be accepted for
+&%remove_header%& to have any significant effect. You can use &%remove_header%&
+with any ACL verb, including &%deny%&, though this is really not useful for
+any verb that doesn't result in a delivered message.
+
+More than one header can be removed at the same time by using a colon separated
+list of header names. The header matching is case insensitive. Wildcards are
+not permitted, nor is list expansion performed, so you cannot use hostlists to
+create a list of headers, however both connection and message variable expansion
+are performed (&%$acl_c_*%& and &%$acl_m_*%&), illustrated in this example:
+.code
+warn hosts = +internal_hosts
+ set acl_c_ihdrs = x-route-mail1 : x-route-mail2

+ remove_header = $acl_c_ihdrs
+.endd
+Removed header lines are accumulated during the MAIL, RCPT, and predata ACLs.
+They are removed from the message before processing the DATA and MIME ACLs.
+There is no harm in attempting to remove the same header twice nor is removing
+a non-existent header. Further header lines to be removed may be accumulated
+during the DATA and MIME ACLs, after which they are removed from the message,
+if present. In the case of non-SMTP messages, headers to be removed are
+accumulated during the non-SMTP ACLs, and are removed from the message after
+all the ACLs have run. If a message is rejected after DATA or by the non-SMTP
+ACL, there really is no effect because there is no logging of what headers
+would have been removed.
+
+.cindex "header lines" "removed; visibility of"
+Header lines are not visible in string expansions until the DATA phase when it
+is received. Any header lines removed in the MAIL, RCPT, and predata ACLs are
+not visible in the DATA ACL and MIME ACLs. Similarly, header lines that are
+removed by the DATA or MIME ACLs are still visible in those ACLs. Because of
+this restriction, you cannot use header lines as a way of controlling data
+passed between (for example) the MAIL and RCPT ACLs. If you want to do this,
+you should instead use ACL variables, as described in section
+&<<SECTaclvariables>>&.
+
+The &%remove_header%& modifier acts immediately as it is encountered during the
+processing of an ACL. Notice the difference between these two cases:
+.display
+&`accept remove_header = X-Internal`&
+&` `&<&'some condition'&>
+
+&`accept `&<&'some condition'&>
+&` remove_header = X-Internal`&
+.endd
+In the first case, the header line is always removed, whether or not the
+condition is true. In the second case, the header line is removed only if the
+condition is true. Multiple occurrences of &%remove_header%& may occur in the
+same ACL statement. All those that are encountered before a condition fails
+are honoured.

+&*Warning*&: This facility currently applies only to header lines that are
