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 " + +(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 src IP of the proxy server making the connection +proxy_host_port The src port the proxy server is using +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 + +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 + + -------------------------------------------------------------- End of file
