The &%local_part_prefix%& and &%local_part_suffix%& options can specify that
the local parts handled by the router may or must have certain prefixes and/or
suffixes. If a mandatory affix (prefix or suffix) is not present, the router is

If the &%local_parts%& option is set, the local part of the address must be in

If a local part prefix or suffix has been recognized, it is not included in the

If this option is set, the router is skipped unless the local part starts with
apply to all TLS connections. For any host that matches one of these options,
Exim requests a certificate as part of the setup of the TLS session. The
contents of the certificate are verified by comparing it with a list of
-expected certificates.

These may be the system default set (depending on library version),
an explicit file or,
depending on library version, a directory, identified by

+There is no checking of names of the client against the certificate
+Subject Name or Subject Alternate Names.

The difference between &%tls_verify_hosts%& and &%tls_try_verify_hosts%& is
what happens if the client does not supply a certificate, or if the certificate
does not match any of the certificates in the collection named by
certificate verification to the listed servers. Verification either must
or need not succeed respectively.
+The &%tls_verify_cert_hostnames%& option lists hosts for which additional
+checks are made: that the host name (the one in the DNS A record)
+is valid for the certificate.
+The option defaults to always checking.

The &(smtp)& transport has two OCSP-related options:
&%hosts_require_ocsp%&; a host-list for which a Certificate Status
is requested and required for the connection to proceed. The default

DANE-TA usage is effectively declaring a specific CA to be used; this might be a private CA or a public,
well-known one.
A private CA at simplest is just a self-signed certificate (with certain

does require careful arrangement.
With DANE-TA, as implemented in Exim and commonly in other MTAs,
the server TLS handshake must transmit the entire certificate chain from CA to server-certificate.
