+The distributions will be PGP signed by an individual key of the Release
+Coordinator. This key will have a uid containing an email address in the
+&'exim.org'& domain and will have signatures from other people, including
+other Exim maintainers. We expect that the key will be in the "strong set" of
+PGP keys. There should be a trust path to that key from Nigel Metheringham's
+PGP key, a version of which can be found in the release directory in the file
+&_nigel-pubkey.asc_&. All keys used will be available in public keyserver pools,
+such as &'pool.sks-keyservers.net'&.

.section "Unpacking" "SECID23"
Exim is distributed as a gzipped or bzipped tar file which, when unpacked,
creates a directory with the name of the current release (for example,
-&_exim-&version;_&) into which the following files are placed:
+&_exim-&version()_&) into which the following files are placed:
.table2 140pt
.irow &_ACKNOWLEDGMENTS_& "contains some acknowledgments"
the subnet 192.168.1.0/24, and from all hosts in &'friendly.domain.example'&.
All other connections are denied. The daemon name used by &'tcpwrappers'&
can be changed at build time by setting TCP_WRAPPERS_DAEMON_NAME in
-in &_Local/Makefile_&, or by setting tcp_wrappers_daemon_name in the
+&_Local/Makefile_&, or by setting tcp_wrappers_daemon_name in the
configure file. Consult the &'tcpwrappers'& documentation for
further details.
For the utility programs, old versions are renamed by adding the suffix &_.O_&
to their names. The Exim binary itself, however, is handled differently. It is
installed under a name that includes the version number and the compile number,
-for example &_exim-&version;-1_&. The script then arranges for a symbolic link
+for example &_exim-&version()-1_&. The script then arranges for a symbolic link
called &_exim_& to point to the binary. If you are updating a previous version
of Exim, the script takes care to ensure that the name &_exim_& is never absent
from the directory (as seen by other processes).
This option is an alias for &%-bV%& and causes version information to be

The first three non-comment configuration lines are as follows:
.code
-domainlist local_domains = @
+domainlist local_domains = @
domainlist relay_to_domains =
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1
.endd
fact authenticate until you complete the authenticator definitions.
.code
require message = relay not permitted
- domains = +local_domains : +relay_domains
+ domains = +local_domains : +relay_to_domains
.endd
This statement rejects the address if its domain is neither a local domain nor
one of the domains for which this host is a relay.
# server_set_id = $auth2
# server_prompts = :
# server_condition = Authentication is not yet configured
-# server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_cipher }
+# server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_in_cipher }
.endd
And the example LOGIN authenticator looks like this:
.code
# server_set_id = $auth1
# server_prompts = <| Username: | Password:
# server_condition = Authentication is not yet configured
-# server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_cipher }
+# server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_in_cipher }
.endd
The &%server_set_id%& option makes Exim remember the authenticated username
The authorization code can be &"Y"& for yes, &"N"& for no, &"X"& for explicit
authorization required but absent, or &"?"& for unknown.
+.cindex "A+" "in &(dnsdb)& lookup"
+The pseudo-type A+ performs an A6 lookup (if configured) followed by an AAAA
+and then an A lookup. All results are returned; defer processing
+(see below) is handled separately for each lookup. Example:
+.code
+${lookup dnsdb {>; a+=$sender_helo_name}}
+.endd
+
.section "Multiple dnsdb lookups" "SECID67"
In the previous sections, &(dnsdb)& lookups for a single domain are described.
.endd
In a list, the syntax is similar. For example:
.code
-domainlist relay_domains = sqlite;/some/thing/sqlitedb \
+domainlist relay_to_domains = sqlite;/some/thing/sqlitedb \
select * from relays where ip='$sender_host_address';
.endd
The only character affected by the &%quote_sqlite%& operator is a single
subject having matched any of the patterns, it is in the set if the last item
was a negative one, but not if it was a positive one. For example, the list in
.code
-domainlist relay_domains = !a.b.c : *.b.c
+domainlist relay_to_domains = !a.b.c : *.b.c
.endd
matches any domain ending in &'.b.c'& except for &'a.b.c'&. Domains that match
neither &'a.b.c'& nor &'*.b.c'& do not match, because the last item in the
list is positive. However, if the setting were
.code
-domainlist relay_domains = !a.b.c
+domainlist relay_to_domains = !a.b.c
.endd
then all domains other than &'a.b.c'& would match because the last item in the
list is negative. In other words, a list that ends with a negative item behaves
respectively. Then there follows the name that you are defining, followed by an
equals sign and the list itself. For example:
.code
-hostlist relay_hosts = 192.168.23.0/24 : my.friend.example
+hostlist relay_from_hosts = 192.168.23.0/24 : my.friend.example
addresslist bad_senders = cdb;/etc/badsenders
.endd
A named list may refer to other named lists:
There are several types of pattern that require Exim to know the name of the
remote host. These are either wildcard patterns or lookups by name. (If a
complete hostname is given without any wildcarding, it is used to find an IP
-address to match against, as described in the section &<<SECThoslispatip>>&
+address to match against, as described in section &<<SECThoslispatip>>&
above.)
If the remote host name is not already known when Exim encounters one of these
operator.
If the query contains a reference to &$sender_host_name$&, Exim automatically
-looks up the host name if has not already done so. (See section
+looks up the host name if it has not already done so. (See section
&<<SECThoslispatnam>>& for comments on finding host names.)
Historical note: prior to release 4.30, Exim would always attempt to find a

.code
aol.com: spammer1 : spammer2 : ^[0-9]+$ :
-spammer3 : spammer4
+ spammer3 : spammer4
.endd
As in all colon-separated lists in Exim, a colon can be included in an item by
doubling.
This item inserts &"basic"& header lines. It is described with the &%header%&
expansion item below.

+.vitem "&*${acl{*&<&'name'&>&*}{*&<&'arg'&>&*}...}*&"
+.cindex "expansion" "calling an acl"
+.cindex "&%acl%&" "call from expansion"
+The name and zero to nine argument strings are first expanded separately. The expanded
+arguments are assigned to the variables &$acl_arg1$& to &$acl_arg9$& in order.
+Any unused are made empty. The variable &$acl_narg$& is set to the number of
+arguments. The named ACL (see chapter &<<CHAPACL>>&) is called
+and may use the variables; if another acl expansion is used the values
+are restored after it returns. If the ACL sets
+a value using a "message =" modifier and returns accept or deny, the value becomes
+the result of the expansion.
+If no message is set and the ACL returns accept or deny
+the expansion result is an empty string.
+If the ACL returns defer the result is a forced-fail. Otherwise the expansion fails.

+.vindex "&$run_in_acl$&"
+The standard output/error of the command is put in the variable &$value$&.
+In this ACL example, the output of a command is logged for the admin to
+troubleshoot:
+.code

+.endd
+If the command requires shell idioms, such as the > redirect operator, the

+.endd
+
.vindex "&$runrc$&"
The return code from the command is put in the variable &$runrc$&, and this
remains set afterwards, so in a filter file you can do things like this:

+epoch. If your system uses unsigned time_t (most do) and is 32-bit, then

A self-signed certificate made in this way is sufficient for testing, and
may be adequate for all your requirements if you are mainly interested in

.section "The SMTP DKIM ACL" "SECTDKIMACL"
The &%acl_smtp_dkim%& ACL is available only when Exim is compiled with DKIM support
received, and is executed for each DKIM signature found in a message. If not
otherwise specified, the default action is to accept.

trouble, such as being unable to write to its log files, this ACL is not run,
because it might try to do things (such as write to log files) that make the
situation even worse.
If &%log_message%& is not present, a &%warn%& verb just checks its conditions
and obeys any &"immediate"& modifiers (such as &%control%&, &%set%&,

processing of a verb ceases as soon as its outcome is known. Only those
modifiers that have already been encountered will take effect. For example,
consider this use of the &%message%& modifier:
.vitem &*delay*&&~=&~<&'time'&>
.cindex "&%delay%& ACL modifier"
.oindex "&%-bh%&"
-This modifier may appear in any ACL. It causes Exim to wait for the time
-interval before proceeding. However, when testing Exim using the &%-bh%&
-option, the delay is not actually imposed (an appropriate message is output

Like &%control%&, &%delay%& can be used with &%accept%& or &%deny%&, for
example:
This modifier sets up a message that is used as part of the log message if the
ACL denies access or a &%warn%& statement's conditions are true. For example:
.code
-require log_message = wrong cipher suite $tls_cipher
+require log_message = wrong cipher suite $tls_in_cipher
encrypted = DES-CBC3-SHA
.endd
&%log_message%& is also used when recipients are discarded by &%discard%&. For
effect.
+.vitem &*remove_header*&&~=&~<&'text'&>
+This modifier specifies one or more header names in a colon-separated list
+ that are to be removed from an incoming message, assuming, of course, that
+the message is ultimately accepted. For details, see section &<<SECTremoveheadacl>>&.
+
+
.vitem &*set*&&~<&'acl_name'&>&~=&~<&'value'&>

This modifier puts a value into one of the ACL variables (see section
&<<SECTaclvariables>>&).
+
+
+.vitem &*udpsend*&&~=&~<&'parameters'&>
+This modifier sends a UDP packet, for purposes such as statistics

+of a destination server, port number, and the packet contents. The
+server can be specified as a host name or IPv4 or IPv6 address. The
+separator can be changed with the usual angle bracket syntax. For
+example, you might want to collect information on which hosts connect

+from an incoming message, as in this example:
+.code
+warn message = Remove internal headers
+ remove_header = x-route-mail1 : x-route-mail2
+.endd
+The &%remove_header%& modifier is permitted in the MAIL, RCPT, PREDATA, DATA,
+MIME, and non-SMTP ACLs (in other words, those that are concerned with
+receiving a message). The message must ultimately be accepted for
+&%remove_header%& to have any significant effect. You can use &%remove_header%&
+with any ACL verb, including &%deny%&, though this is really not useful for
+any verb that doesn't result in a delivered message.
+
+More than one header can be removed at the same time by using a colon separated
+list of header names. The header matching is case insensitive. Wildcards are
+not permitted, nor is list expansion performed, so you cannot use hostlists to
+create a list of headers, however both connection and message variable expansion
+are performed (&%$acl_c_*%& and &%$acl_m_*%&), illustrated in this example:
+.code
+warn hosts = +internal_hosts
+ set acl_c_ihdrs = x-route-mail1 : x-route-mail2
+warn message = Remove internal headers
+ remove_header = $acl_c_ihdrs
+.endd
+Removed header lines are accumulated during the MAIL, RCPT, and predata ACLs.
+They are removed from the message before processing the DATA and MIME ACLs.
+There is no harm in attempting to remove the same header twice nor is removing
+a non-existent header. Further header lines to be removed may be accumulated
+during the DATA and MIME ACLs, after which they are removed from the message,
+if present. In the case of non-SMTP messages, headers to be removed are
+accumulated during the non-SMTP ACLs, and are removed from the message after
+all the ACLs have run. If a message is rejected after DATA or by the non-SMTP
+ACL, there really is no effect because there is no logging of what headers
+would have been removed.
+
+.cindex "header lines" "removed; visibility of"
+Header lines are not visible in string expansions until the DATA phase when it
+is received. Any header lines removed in the MAIL, RCPT, and predata ACLs are
+not visible in the DATA ACL and MIME ACLs. Similarly, header lines that are
+removed by the DATA or MIME ACLs are still visible in those ACLs. Because of
+this restriction, you cannot use header lines as a way of controlling data
+passed between (for example) the MAIL and RCPT ACLs. If you want to do this,
+you should instead use ACL variables, as described in section
+&<<SECTaclvariables>>&.
+
+The &%remove_header%& modifier acts immediately as it is encountered during the
+processing of an ACL. Notice the difference between these two cases:
+.display
+&`accept remove_header = X-Internal`&
+&` `&<&'some condition'&>
+
+&`accept `&<&'some condition'&>
+&` remove_header = X-Internal`&
+.endd
+In the first case, the header line is always removed, whether or not the
+condition is true. In the second case, the header line is removed only if the
+condition is true. Multiple occurrences of &%remove_header%& may occur in the
+same ACL statement. All those that are encountered before a condition fails
+are honoured.
+
+&*Warning*&: This facility currently applies only to header lines that are
+present during ACL processing. It does NOT remove header lines that are added
+in a system filter or in a router or transport.

+The callout may use EHLO, AUTH and/or STARTTLS given appropriate option

A recipient callout check is similar. By default, it also uses an empty address
for the sender. This default is chosen because most hosts do not make use of
the sender address when verifying a recipient. Using the same address means
In the main part of the configuration, you put the following definitions:
.code
-domainlist local_domains = my.dom1.example : my.dom2.example
-domainlist relay_domains = friend1.example : friend2.example
-hostlist relay_hosts = 192.168.45.0/24

+domainlist relay_to_domains = friend1.example : friend2.example
+hostlist relay_from_hosts = 192.168.45.0/24
.endd
Now you can use these definitions in the ACL that is run for every RCPT
command:
.code
acl_check_rcpt:
- accept domains = +local_domains : +relay_domains
- accept hosts = +relay_hosts
+ accept domains = +local_domains : +relay_to_domains

the local or relay domains. For any other domain, control passes to the second

Exim does not check the syntax of these added header lines.
+Multiple &%headers_add%& options for a single router or transport can be
+specified; the values will be concatenated (with a separating newline
+added) before expansion.
+
The result of expanding &%headers_remove%& must consist of a colon-separated
list of header names. This is confusing, because header names themselves are
often terminated by colons. In this case, the colons are the list separators,
.code
headers_remove = return-receipt-to:acknowledge-to

+
+.ilist
+Use of &%use_shell%& in the pipe transport: various forms of shell command
+injection may be possible with this option present. It is dangerous and should
+be used only with considerable caution. Consider constraints which whitelist
+allowed characters in a variable which is to be used in a pipe transport that
+has &%use_shell%& enabled.
+.next
+A number of options such as &%forbid_filter_run%&, &%forbid_filter_perl%&,
+&%forbid_filter_dlfunc%& and so forth which restrict facilities available to
+&_.forward_& files in a redirect router. If Exim is running on a central mail
+hub to which ordinary users do not have shell access, but home directories are
+NFS mounted (for instance) then administrators should review the list of these
+forbid options available, and should bear in mind that the options that may
+need forbidding can change as new features are added between releases.
+.next
+The &%${run...}%& expansion item does not use a shell by default, but
+administrators can configure use of &_/bin/sh_& as part of the command.
+Such invocations should be viewed with prejudicial suspicion.
+.next
+Administrators who use embedded Perl are advised to explore how Perl's
+taint checking might apply to their usage.
+.next
+Use of &%${expand...}%& is somewhat analagous to shell's eval builtin and
+administrators are well advised to view its use with suspicion, in case (for
+instance) it allows a local-part to contain embedded Exim directives.
+.next
+Use of &%${match_local_part...}%& and friends becomes more dangerous if
+Exim was built with EXPAND_LISTMATCH_RHS defined: the second string in
+each can reference arbitrary lists and files, rather than just being a list
+of opaque strings.
+The EXPAND_LISTMATCH_RHS option was added and set false by default because of
+real-world security vulnerabilities caused by its use with untrustworthy data
+injected in, for SQL injection attacks.
+Consider the use of the &%inlisti%& expansion condition instead.
