+The supported DNS record types are A, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SPF, SRV, TLSA and TXT,

+Modifiers for &(dnsdb)& lookups are givien by optional keywords,
+each followed by a comma,

+
The &(dnsdb)& lookup fails only if all the DNS lookups fail. If there is a
temporary DNS error for any of them, the behaviour is controlled by
-an optional keyword followed by a comma that may appear before the record
-type. The possible keywords are &"defer_strict"&, &"defer_never"&, and
-&"defer_lax"&. With &"strict"& behaviour, any temporary DNS error causes the
+a defer-option modifier.
+The possible keywords are
+&"defer_strict"&, &"defer_never"&, and &"defer_lax"&.
+With &"strict"& behaviour, any temporary DNS error causes the
whole lookup to defer. With &"never"& behaviour, a temporary DNS error is
ignored, and the behaviour is as if the DNS lookup failed to find anything.
With &"lax"& behaviour, all the queries are attempted, but a temporary DNS

yields some data, the lookup succeeds.

+&"dnssec_strict"&, &"dnssec_lax"&, and &"dnssec_never"&.
+With &"strict"& or &"lax"& DNSSEC information is requested
+with the lookup.
+With &"strict"& a response from the DNS resolver that
+is not labelled as authenticated data

LDAP connections, rather than the SSL-on-connect &`ldaps`&.
See the &%ldap_start_tls%& option.
+Starting with Exim 4.83, the initialization of LDAP with TLS is more tightly
+controlled. Every part of the TLS configuration can be configured by settings in
+&_exim.conf_&. Depending on the version of the client libraries installed on
+your system, some of the initialization may have required setting options in
+&_/etc/ldap.conf_& or &_~/.ldaprc_& to get TLS working with self-signed
+certificates. This revealed a nuance where the current UID that exim was
+running as could affect which config files it read. With Exim 4.83, these
+methods become optional, only taking effect if not specifically set in
+&_exim.conf_&.

&`SIZE `& set the limit for the number of entries returned
&`TIME `& set the maximum waiting time for a query

The TIME parameter (also a number of seconds) is passed to the server to
set a server-side limit on the time taken to complete a search.
+The SERVERS parameter allows you to specify an alternate list of ldap servers
+to use for an individual lookup. The global ldap_servers option provides a
+default list of ldap servers, and a single lookup can specify a single ldap
+server to use. But when you need to do a lookup with a list of servers that is
+different than the default list (maybe different order, maybe a completely
+different set of servers), the SERVERS parameter allows you to specify this
+alternate list.
Here is an example of an LDAP query in an Exim lookup that uses some of these
values. This is a single line, folded to fit on the page:

-.cindex "host list" "mixing names and addresses in"
-If you have name lookups or wildcarded host names and IP addresses in the same
-host list, you should normally put the IP addresses first. For example, in an
-ACL you could have:
-.code
-accept hosts = 10.9.8.7 : *.friend.example
-.endd
-The reason for this lies in the left-to-right way that Exim processes lists.
-It can test IP addresses without doing any DNS lookups, but when it reaches an
-item that requires a host name, it fails if it cannot find a host name to
-compare with the pattern. If the above list is given in the opposite order, the
-&%accept%& statement fails for a host whose name cannot be found, even if its
-IP address is 10.9.8.7.
-
-If you really do want to do the name check first, and still recognize the IP
-address, you can rewrite the ACL like this:
-.code
-accept hosts = *.friend.example
-accept hosts = 10.9.8.7
-.endd
-If the first &%accept%& fails, Exim goes on to try the second one. See chapter

.cindex "TLS" "revoked certificates"
.cindex "revocation list"
.cindex "certificate" "revocation list"
+.cindex "OCSP" "stapling"
Certificate issuing authorities issue Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) when
certificates are revoked. If you have such a list, you can pass it to an Exim
server using the global option called &%tls_crl%& and to an Exim client using
an identically named option for the &(smtp)& transport. In each case, the value
of the option is expanded and must then be the name of a file that contains a
CRL in PEM format.
+The downside is that clients have to periodically re-download a potentially huge
+file from every certificate authority the know of.
+
+The way with most moving parts at query time is Online Certificate
+Status Protocol (OCSP), where the client verifies the certificate
+against an OCSP server run by the CA. This lets the CA track all
+usage of the certs. It requires running software with access to the
+private key of the CA, to sign the responses to the OCSP queries. OCSP
+is based on HTTP and can be proxied accordingly.
+
+The only widespread OCSP server implementation (known to this writer)
+comes as part of OpenSSL and aborts on an invalid request, such as
+connecting to the port and then disconnecting. This requires
+re-entering the passphrase each time some random client does this.
+
+The third way is OCSP Stapling; in this, the server using a certificate
+issued by the CA periodically requests an OCSP proof of validity from
+the OCSP server, then serves it up inline as part of the TLS
+negotiation. This approach adds no extra round trips, does not let the
+CA track users, scales well with number of certs issued by the CA and is
+resilient to temporary OCSP server failures, as long as the server
+starts retrying to fetch an OCSP proof some time before its current
+proof expires. The downside is that it requires server support.
+
+Unless Exim is built with the support disabled,
+or with GnuTLS earlier than version 3.1.3,
+support for OCSP stapling is included.
+
+There is a global option called &%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
+option will be re-expanded for SNI, if the &%tls_certificate%& option
+contains &`tls_in_sni`&, as per other TLS options.
+
+Exim does not at this time implement any support for fetching a new OCSP
+proof. The burden is on the administrator to handle this, outside of
+Exim. The file specified should be replaced atomically, so that the
+contents are always valid. Exim will expand the &%tls_ocsp_file%& option
+on each connection, so a new file will be handled transparently on the
+next connection.
+
+When built with OpenSSL 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.
+
+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%&.
+
+Note that the proof only covers the terminal server certificate,
+not any of the chain from CA to it.
+
+There is no current way to staple a proof for a client certificate.
+
+.code
+ 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 failure mode seen was the OCSP Signer cert expiring before the end
+ of validity of the OCSP proof. The checking done by Exim/OpenSSL
+ noted this as invalid overall, but the re-fetch script did not.
