+# Short version of this script:
+# curl -f -o /var/cache/exim/opendmarc.tlds https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat
+# but run as Exim runtime user, writing to a place it can write to, and with
+# sanity checks and atomic replacement.
+#
+# For now, we deliberately leave the invalid file around for analysis
+# with .<pid> suffix.

+#
+# Create a cron-job as the Exim run-time user to invoke this daily, with a
+# single parameter, 'cron'. Eg:
+#
+# 3 4 * * * /usr/local/sbin/renew-opendmarc-tlds.sh cron
+#
+# That will, at 3 minutes past the 4th hour (in whatever timezone cron is
+# running it) invoke this script with 'cron'; we will then sleep between 10 and
+# 50 seconds, before continuing.

+#
+# This should be "pretty portable"; the only things it depends upon are:
+# * a POSIX shell which additionally implements 'local' (dash works)
+# * the 'curl' command; change the fetch_candidate() function to replace that
+# * the 'stat' command, to get the size of a file; change size_of() if need be
+# * the 'hexdump' command and /dev/urandom existing
+# + used when invoked with 'cron', to avoid retrieving on a minute boundary
+# and contending with many other automated systems.
+# + with bash/zsh, can replace with: $(( 10 + ( RANDOM % 40 ) ))
+# + on Debian/Ubuntu systems, hexdump is in the 'bsdmainutils' package.

+# Consider putting an email address inside the parentheses, something like
