proof expires. The downside is that it requires server support.
If Exim is built with EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP and it was built with OpenSSL,
-then it gains one new option: "tls_ocsp_file".
+then it gains a new global option: "tls_ocsp_file".
The file specified therein is expected to be in DER format, and contain
an OCSP proof. Exim will serve it as part of the TLS handshake. This
Exim will check for a valid next update timestamp in the OCSP proof;
if not present, or if the proof has expired, it will be ignored.
+Also, given EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP and OpenSSL, the smtp transport gains
+a "hosts_require_ocsp" option; a host-list for which an OCSP Stapling
+is requested and required for the connection to proceed. The host(s)
+should also be in "hosts_require_tls", and "tls_verify_certificates"
+configured for the transport.
+
+For the client to be able to verify the stapled OCSP the server must
+also supply, in its stapled information, any intermediate
+certificates for the chain leading to the OCSP proof from the signer
+of the server certificate. There may be zero or one such. These
+intermediate certificates should be added to the server OCSP stapling
+file (named by tls_ocsp_file).
+
At this point in time, we're gathering feedback on use, to determine if
it's worth adding complexity to the Exim daemon to periodically re-fetch
-OCSP files and somehow handling multiple files. There is no client support
-for OCSP in Exim, this is feature expected to be used by mail clients.
+OCSP files and somehow handling multiple files.
+
+ A helper script "ocsp_fetch.pl" for fetching a proof from a CA
+ OCSP server is supplied. The server URL may be included in the
+ server certificate, if the CA is helpful.
+
+ One fail mode seen was the OCSP Signer cert expiring before the end

Use a reasonable IP. eg. one the sending cluster acutally uses.
+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 above section on enabling the EXPERIMENTAL_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:
+
+Required:
+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/.
+
+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_forensic_enable
+
+(AGAIN: You can choose not to send these forensic reports by simply
+not putting the dmarc_forensic_enable 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 norecord No policy section in the DMARC record for this
+ sender domain.
+ o nofrom Unable to determine the domain of the sender.
+ o none There is no DMARC record for this sender domain.
+ o error Library error or dns error.
+
+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.
+
+ 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_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
+
+(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 dmarc_status = reject
+ !authenticated = *
+ message = Message from $domain_used_domain failed sender's DMARC policy, REJECT
+
+
+
+Transport post-delivery actions
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+An arbitrary per-transport string can be expanded on successful delivery,
+and (for SMTP transports) a second string on deferrals caused by a host error.
+This feature may be used, for example, to write exim internal log information
+(not available otherwise) into a database.
+
+In order to use the feature, you must set
+
+EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA=yes
+
+in your Local/Makefile
+
+and define the expandable strings in the runtime config file, to
+be executed at end of delivery.
+
+Additionally, there are 6 more variables, available at end of
+delivery:
+
+tpda_delivery_ip IP of host, which has accepted delivery
+tpda_delivery_port Port of remote host which has accepted delivery
+tpda_delivery_fqdn FQDN of host, which has accepted delivery
+tpda_delivery_local_part local part of address being delivered
+tpda_delivery_domain domain part of address being delivered
+tpda_delivery_confirmation SMTP confirmation message
+
+In case of a deferral caused by a host-error:
+tpda_defer_errno Error number
+tpda_defer_errstr Error string possibly containing more details
+
+The $router_name and $transport_name variables are also usable.
+
+
+To take action after successful deliveries, set the following option
+on any transport of interest.
+
+tpda_delivery_action
+
+An example might look like:
+
+tpda_delivery_action = \
+${lookup pgsql {SELECT * FROM record_Delivery( \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$sender_address_domain}',\
+ '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$tpda_delivery_domain}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$tpda_delivery_local_part}}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$tpda_delivery_ip}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:${lc:$tpda_delivery_fqdn}}', \
+ '${quote_pgsql:$message_exim_id}')}}
+
+The string is expanded after the delivery completes and any
+side-effects will happen. The result is then discarded.
+Note that for complex operations an ACL expansion can be used.
+
+
+In order to log host deferrals, add the following option to an SMTP
+transport:
+
+tpda_host_defer_action
+
+This is a private option of the SMTP transport. It is intended to
+log failures of remote hosts. It is executed only when exim has
+attempted to deliver a message to a remote host and failed due to
+an error which doesn't seem to be related to the individual
+message, sender, or recipient address.
+See section 45.2 of the exim documentation for more details on how
+this is determined.
+
+Example:
+
+tpda_host_defer_action = \
+${lookup mysql {insert into delivlog set \
+ msgid = '${quote_mysql:$message_exim_id}', \
+ senderlp = '${quote_mysql:${lc:$sender_address_local_part}}', \
+ senderdom = '${quote_mysql:$sender_address_domain}', \
+ delivlp = '${quote_mysql:${lc:$tpda_delivery_local_part}}', \
+ delivdom = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_domain}', \
+ delivip = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_ip}', \
+ delivport = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_port}', \
+ delivfqdn = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_delivery_fqdn}', \
+ deliverrno = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_defer_errno}', \
+ deliverrstr = '${quote_mysql:$tpda_defer_errstr}' \
+ }}
