@@ -16800,6 +17678,46 @@ If the expansion fails (other than forced failure) delivery is deferred. Some
 of the other precondition options are common special cases that could in fact
 be specified using &%condition%&.
 
+Historical note: We have &%condition%& on ACLs and on Routers.  Routers
+are far older, and use one set of semantics.  ACLs are newer and when
+they were created, the ACL &%condition%& process was given far stricter
+parse semantics.  The &%bool{}%& expansion condition uses the same rules as
+ACLs.  The &%bool_lax{}%& expansion condition uses the same rules as
+Routers.  More pointedly, the &%bool_lax{}%& was written to match the existing
+Router rules processing behavior.
+
+This is best illustrated in an example:
+.code
+# If used in an ACL condition will fail with a syntax error, but
+# in a router condition any extra characters are treated as a string
+
+$ exim -be '${if eq {${lc:GOOGLE.com}} {google.com}} {yes} {no}}'
+true {yes} {no}}
+
+$ exim -be '${if eq {${lc:WHOIS.com}} {google.com}} {yes} {no}}'
+ {yes} {no}}
+.endd
+In each example above, the &%if%& statement actually ends after
+&"{google.com}}"&.  Since no true or false braces were defined, the
+default &%if%& behavior is to return a boolean true or a null answer
+(which evaluates to false). The rest of the line is then treated as a
+string. So the first example resulted in the boolean answer &"true"&
+with the string &" {yes} {no}}"& appended to it. The second example
+resulted in the null output (indicating false) with the string
+&" {yes} {no}}"& appended to it.
+
+In fact you can put excess forward braces in too.  In the router
+&%condition%&, Exim's parser only looks for &"{"& symbols when they
+mean something, like after a &"$"& or when required as part of a
+conditional.  But otherwise &"{"& and &"}"& are treated as ordinary
+string characters.
+
+Thus, in a Router, the above expansion strings will both always evaluate
+true, as the result of expansion is a non-empty string which doesn't
+match an explicit false value.  This can be tricky to debug.  By
+contrast, in an ACL either of those strings will always result in an
+expansion error because the result doesn't look sufficiently boolean.

+.cindex "proxy support"
+.cindex "proxy" "access via"
+
+A proxy is an intermediate system through which communication is passed.
+Proxies may provide a security, availability or load-distribution function.
+
+
+.section "Inbound proxies" SECTproxyInbound
+.cindex proxy inbound
+.cindex proxy "server side"
+.cindex proxy "Proxy protocol"
+.cindex "Proxy protocol" proxy
+
+Exim has support for receiving inbound SMTP connections via a proxy
+that uses &"Proxy Protocol"& to speak to it.
+To include this support, include &"SUPPORT_PROXY=yes"&
+in Local/Makefile.
+
+It was built on specifications from:
+(&url(http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt)).
+That URL was revised in May 2014 to version 2 spec:
+(&url(http://git.1wt.eu/web?p=haproxy.git;a=commitdiff;h=afb768340c9d7e50d8e)).
+
+The purpose of this facility is so that an application load balancer,
+such as HAProxy, can sit in front of several Exim servers
+to distribute load.
+Exim uses the local protocol communication with the proxy to obtain
+the remote SMTP system IP address and port information.
+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).
+
+Use of a proxy is enabled by setting the &%hosts_proxy%&
+main configuration option to a hostlist; connections from these
+hosts will use Proxy Protocol.
+Exim supports both version 1 and version 2 of the Proxy Protocol and
+automatically determines which version is in use.
+
+The Proxy Protocol header is the first data received on a TCP connection
+and is inserted before any TLS-on-connect handshake from the client; Exim
+negotiates TLS between Exim-as-server and the remote client, not between
+Exim and the proxy server.
+
+The following expansion variables are usable
+(&"internal"& and &"external"& here refer to the interfaces
+of the proxy):
+.display
+&'proxy_external_address   '& IP of host being proxied or IP of remote interface of proxy
+&'proxy_external_port      '& Port of host being proxied or Port on remote interface of proxy
+&'proxy_local_address      '& IP of proxy server inbound or IP of local interface of proxy
+&'proxy_local_port         '& Port of proxy server inbound or Port on local interface of proxy
+&'proxy_session            '& boolean: SMTP connection via proxy
+.endd
+If &$proxy_session$& is set but &$proxy_external_address$& is empty
+there was a protocol error.
+
+Since the real connections are all coming from the 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.
+With the option set so high, you lose the ability
+to protect your server from many connections from one IP.
+In order to prevent your server from overload, you
+need to add a per connection ratelimit to your connect ACL.
+A possible solution is:
+.display
+  # Set max number of connections per host
+  LIMIT   = 5
+  # Or do some kind of IP lookup in a flat file or database
+  # LIMIT = ${lookup{$sender_host_address}iplsearch{/etc/exim/proxy_limits}}
+
+  defer   message        = Too many connections from this IP right now
+          ratelimit      = LIMIT / 5s / per_conn / strict
+.endd
+
+
+
+.section "Outbound proxies" SECTproxySOCKS
+.cindex proxy outbound
+.cindex proxy "client side"
+.cindex proxy SOCKS
+.cindex SOCKS proxy
+Exim has support for sending outbound SMTP via a proxy
+using a protocol called SOCKS5 (defined by RFC1928).
+The support can be optionally included by defining SUPPORT_SOCKS=yes in
+Local/Makefile.
+
+Use of a proxy is enabled by setting the &%socks_proxy%& option
+on an smtp transport.
+The option value is expanded and should then be a list
+(colon-separated by default) of proxy specifiers.
+Each proxy specifier is a list
+(space-separated by default) where the initial element
+is an IP address and any subsequent elements are options.
+
+Options are a string <name>=<value>.
+The list of options is in the following table:
+.display
+&'auth   '& authentication method
+&'name   '& authentication username
+&'pass   '& authentication password
+&'port   '& tcp port
+&'tmo    '& connection timeout
+&'pri    '& priority
+&'weight '& selection bias
+.endd
+
+More details on each of these options follows:
+
+.ilist
+.cindex authentication "to proxy"
+.cindex proxy authentication
+&%auth%&: Either &"none"& (default) or &"name"&.
+Using &"name"& selects username/password authentication per RFC 1929
+for access to the proxy.
+Default is &"none"&.
+.next
+&%name%&: sets the username for the &"name"& authentication method.
+Default is empty.
+.next
+&%pass%&: sets the password for the &"name"& authentication method.
+Default is empty.
+.next
+&%port%&: the TCP port number to use for the connection to the proxy.
+Default is 1080.
+.next
+&%tmo%&: sets a connection timeout in seconds for this proxy.
+Default is 5.
+.next
+&%pri%&: specifies a priority for the proxy within the list,
+higher values being tried first.
+The default priority is 1.
+.next
+&%weight%&: specifies a selection bias.
+Within a priority set servers are queried in a random fashion,
+weighted by this value.
+The default value for selection bias is 1.
+.endlist
+
+Proxies from the list are tried according to their priority
+and weight settings until one responds.  The timeout for the
+overall connection applies to the set of proxied attempts.
+
+.section Logging SECTproxyLog
+To log the (local) IP of a proxy in the incoming or delivery logline,

+Exim has support for Internationalised mail names.
+To include this it must be built with SUPPORT_I18N and the libidn library.
+Standards supported are RFCs 2060, 5890, 6530 and 6533.
+
+If Exim is built with SUPPORT_I18N_2008 (in addition to SUPPORT_I18N, not
+instead of it) then IDNA2008 is supported; this adds an extra library
+requirement, upon libidn2.

+.cindex SMTPUTF8 "ESMTP option"
+The main configuration option &%smtputf8_advertise_hosts%& specifies
+a host list.  If this matches the sending host and
+accept_8bitmime is true (the default) then the ESMTP option
+SMTPUTF8 will be advertised.
+
+If the sender specifies the SMTPUTF8 option on a MAIL command
+international handling for the message is enabled and
+the expansion variable &$message_smtputf8$& will have value TRUE.
+
+The option &%allow_utf8_domains%& is set to true for this
+message. All DNS lookups are converted to a-label form
+whatever the setting of &%allow_utf8_domains%&
+when Exim is built with SUPPORT_I18N.
+
+Both localparts and domain are maintained as the original
+UTF-8 form internally; any comparison or regular-expression use will
+require appropriate care.  Filenames created, eg. by
+the appendfile transport, will have UTF-8 names.
+
+HELO names sent by the smtp transport will have any UTF-8
+components expanded to a-label form,
+and any certificate name checks will be done using the a-label
+form of the name.
+
+.cindex log protocol

+${utf8_domain_from_alabel:str}
+${utf8_localpart_to_alabel:str}
+${utf8_localpart_from_alabel:str}
+.endd
+
+ACLs may use the following modifier:
+.display
+control = utf8_downconvert
+control = utf8_downconvert/<value>
+.endd
+This sets a flag requiring that addresses are converted to
+a-label form before smtp delivery, for use in a

+If a value is appended it may be:
+.display
+&`1  `& (default) mandatory downconversion
+&`0  `& no downconversion
+&`-1 `& if SMTPUTF8 not supported by destination host
+.endd
+
+If mua_wrapper is set, the utf8_downconvert control
+is initially set to -1.
+
+
+There is no explicit support for VRFY and EXPN.
+Configurations supporting these should inspect
+&$smtp_command_argument$& for an SMTPUTF8 argument.
+
+There is no support for LMTP on Unix sockets.
+Using the "lmtp" protocol option on an smtp transport,

+To aid in constructing names suitable for IMAP folders
+the following expansion operator can be used:
+.code
+${imapfolder {<string>} {<sep>} {<specials>}}
+.endd
+
+The string is converted from the charset specified by
+the "headers charset" command (in a filter file)
+or &%headers_charset%& main configuration option (otherwise),
+to the
+modified UTF-7 encoding specified by RFC 2060,
+with the following exception: All occurences of <sep>
+(which has to be a single character)
+are replaced with periods ("."), and all periods and slashes that are not
+<sep> and are not in the <specials> string are BASE64 encoded.
+
+The third argument can be omitted, defaulting to an empty string.
+The second argument can be omitted, defaulting to "/".
+
+This is the encoding used by Courier for Maildir names on disk, and followed
+by many other IMAP servers.
+
+Examples:
+.display
+&`${imapfolder {Foo/Bar}}       `& yields &`Foo.Bar`&
+&`${imapfolder {Foo/Bar}{.}{/}} `& yields &`Foo&&AC8-Bar`&
+&`${imapfolder {Räksmörgås}}    `& yields &`R&&AOQ-ksm&&APY-rg&&AOU-s`&
+.endd
+
+Note that the source charset setting is vital, and also that characters
+must be representable in UTF-16.

+.chapter "Events" "CHAPevents" &&&
+         "Events"
+.cindex events
+
+The events mechanism in Exim can be used to intercept processing at a number
+of points.  It was originally invented to give a way to do customised logging
+actions (for example, to a database) but can also be used to modify some
+processing actions.
+
+Most installations will never need to use Events.
+The support can be left out of a build by defining DISABLE_EVENT=yes
+in &_Local/Makefile_&.
+
+There are two major classes of events: main and transport.
+The main configuration option &%event_action%& controls reception events;
+a transport option &%event_action%& controls delivery events.
+
+Both options are a string which is expanded when the event fires.
+An example might look like:
+.cindex logging custom
+.code
+event_action = ${if eq {msg:delivery}{$event_name} \
+{${lookup pgsql {SELECT * FROM record_Delivery( \
+    '${quote_pgsql:$sender_address_domain}',\
+    '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}', \
+    '${quote_pgsql:$domain}', \
+    '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$local_part}}', \
+    '${quote_pgsql:$host_address}', \
+    '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$host}}', \
+    '${quote_pgsql:$message_exim_id}')}} \
+} {}}
+.endd
+
+Events have names which correspond to the point in process at which they fire.
+The name is placed in the variable &$event_name$& and the event action
+expansion must check this, as it will be called for every possible event type.
+
+The current list of events is:
+.display
+&`msg:complete           after    main       `& per message
+&`msg:delivery           after    transport  `& per recipient
+&`msg:rcpt:host:defer    after    transport  `& per recipient per host
+&`msg:rcpt:defer         after    transport  `& per recipient
+&`msg:host:defer         after    transport  `& per attempt
+&`msg:fail:delivery      after    transport  `& per recipient
+&`msg:fail:internal      after    main       `& per recipient
+&`tcp:connect            before   transport  `& per connection
+&`tcp:close              after    transport  `& per connection
+&`tls:cert               before   both       `& per certificate in verification chain
+&`smtp:connect           after    transport  `& per connection
+.endd
+New event types may be added in future.
+
+The event name is a colon-separated list, defining the type of
+event in a tree of possibilities.  It may be used as a list
+or just matched on as a whole.  There will be no spaces in the name.
+
+The second column in the table above describes whether the event fires
+before or after the action is associates with.  Those which fire before
+can be used to affect that action (more on this below).
+
+.new
+The third column in the table above says what section of the configumration
+should define the event action.
+.wen
+
+An additional variable, &$event_data$&, is filled with information varying
+with the event type:
+.display
+&`msg:delivery         `& smtp confirmation message
+&`msg:rcpt:host:defer  `& error string
+&`msg:rcpt:defer       `& error string
+&`msg:host:defer       `& error string
+&`tls:cert             `& verification chain depth
+&`smtp:connect         `& smtp banner
+.endd
+
+The :defer events populate one extra variable: &$event_defer_errno$&.
+
+For complex operations an ACL expansion can be used in &%event_action%&
+however due to the multiple contexts that Exim operates in during
+the course of its processing:
+.ilist
+variables set in transport events will not be visible outside that
+transport call
+.next
+acl_m variables in a server context are lost on a new connection,
+and after smtp helo/ehlo/mail/starttls/rset commands
+.endlist
+Using an ACL expansion with the logwrite modifier can be
+a useful way of writing to the main log.
+
+The expansion of the event_action option should normally
+return an empty string.  Should it return anything else the
+following will be forced:
+.display
+&`msg:delivery     `&  (ignored)
+&`msg:host:defer   `&  (ignored)
+&`msg:fail:delivery`&  (ignored)
+&`tcp:connect      `&  do not connect
+&`tcp:close        `&  (ignored)
+&`tls:cert         `&  refuse verification
+&`smtp:connect     `&  close connection
+.endd
+No other use is made of the result string.
+
+For a tcp:connect event, if the connection is being made to a proxy
+then the address and port variables will be that of the proxy and not
+the target system.
+
+For tls:cert events, if GnuTLS is in use this will trigger only per
+chain element received on the connection.
+For OpenSSL it will trigger for every chain element including those
+loaded locally.
