-PRDR support
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Per-Recipient Data Reponse is an SMTP extension proposed by Eric Hall
-in a (now-expired) IETF draft from 2007.  It's not hit mainstream
-use, but has apparently been implemented in the META1 MTA.
-
-There is mention at http://mail.aegee.org/intern/sendmail.html
-of a patch to sendmail "to make it PRDR capable".
-
- ref: http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt
-
-If Exim is built with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR there is a new config
-boolean "prdr_enable" which controls whether PRDR is advertised
-as part of an EHLO response, a new "acl_data_smtp_prdr" ACL
-(called for each recipient, after data arrives but before the
-data ACL), and a new smtp transport option "hosts_try_prdr".
-
-PRDR may be used to support per-user content filtering.  Without it
-one must defer any recipient after the first that has a different
-content-filter configuration.  With PRDR, the RCPT-time check
-for this can be disabled when the MAIL-time $smtp_command included
-"PRDR".  Any required difference in behaviour of the main DATA-time
-ACL should however depend on the PRDR-time ACL having run, as Exim
-will avoid doing so in some situations (eg.  single-recipient mails).
-
-
-
-OCSP Stapling support
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-X.509 PKI certificates expire and can be revoked; to handle this, the
-clients need some way to determine if a particular certificate, from a
-particular Certificate Authority (CA), is still valid.  There are three
-main ways to do so.
-
-The simplest way is to serve up a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) with
-an ordinary web-server, regenerating the CRL before it expires.  The
-downside is that clients have to periodically re-download a potentially
-huge file from every certificate authority it knows 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.  This 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.
-
-If Exim is built with EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP and it was built with OpenSSL,
-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
-option will be re-expanded for SNI, if the tls_certificate option
-contains $tls_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.
-
-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.
-
-  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
-  of vailidity of the OCSP proof. The checking done by Exim/OpenSSL
-  noted this as invalid overall, but the re-fetch script did not.

-Sender Policy Framework (SPF) support
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-To learn  more  about  SPF, visit   http://www.openspf.org. This
-document does   not explain  the SPF  fundamentals, you should
-read and understand the implications of deploying SPF on  your
-system before doing so.
-
-SPF support is added via the libspf2 library. Visit
-
-  http://www.libspf2.org/
-
-to obtain  a copy,  then compile  and install  it. By default,
-this will  put headers  in /usr/local/include  and the  static
-library in /usr/local/lib.
-
-To compile Exim with SPF support, set these additional flags in
-Local/Makefile:
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_SPF=yes
-CFLAGS=-DSPF -I/usr/local/include
-EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -lspf2
-
-This assumes   that the   libspf2 files   are installed  in
-their default locations.
-
-You can now run SPF checks in incoming SMTP by using the "spf"
-ACL condition  in either  the MAIL,  RCPT or  DATA ACLs.  When
-using it in the RCPT ACL, you can make the checks dependent on
-the RCPT  address (or  domain), so  you can  check SPF records
-only  for   certain  target   domains.  This   gives  you  the
-possibility  to opt-out  certain customers  that do  not want
-their mail to be subject to SPF checking.
-
-The spf condition  takes a list  of strings on  its right-hand
-side. These strings describe the outcome of the SPF check  for
-which the spf condition should succeed. Valid strings are:
-
-  o pass      The SPF check passed, the sending host
-              is positively verified by SPF.
-  o fail      The SPF check failed, the sending host
-              is NOT allowed to send mail for the domain
-              in the envelope-from address.
-  o softfail  The SPF check failed, but the queried
-              domain can't absolutely confirm that this
-              is a forgery.
-  o none      The queried domain does not publish SPF
-              records.
-  o neutral   The SPF check returned a "neutral" state.
-              This means the queried domain has published
-              a SPF record, but wants to allow outside
-              servers to send mail under its domain as well.
-              This should be treated like "none".
-  o permerror This indicates a syntax error in the SPF
-              record of the queried domain. You may deny
-              messages when this occurs. (Changed in 4.83)
-  o temperror This indicates a temporary error during all
-              processing, including Exim's SPF processing.
-              You may defer messages when this occurs.
-              (Changed in 4.83)
-  o err_temp  Same as permerror, deprecated in 4.83, will be
-              removed in a future release.
-  o err_perm  Same as temperror, deprecated in 4.83, will be
-              removed in a future release.
-
-You can prefix each string with an exclamation mark to  invert
-its meaning,  for example  "!fail" will  match all  results but
-"fail".  The  string  list is  evaluated  left-to-right,  in a
-short-circuit fashion.  When a  string matches  the outcome of
-the SPF check, the condition  succeeds. If none of the  listed
-strings matches the  outcome of the  SPF check, the  condition
-fails.
-
-Here is an example to fail forgery attempts from domains that
-publish SPF records:
-
-/* -----------------
-deny message = $sender_host_address is not allowed to send mail from ${if def:sender_address_domain {$sender_address_domain}{$sender_helo_name}}.  \
-              Please see http://www.openspf.org/Why?scope=${if def:sender_address_domain {mfrom}{helo}};identity=${if def:sender_address_domain {$sender_address}{$sender_helo_name}};ip=$sender_host_address
-     spf = fail
---------------------- */
-
-You can also give special treatment to specific domains:
-
-/* -----------------
-deny message = AOL sender, but not from AOL-approved relay.
-     sender_domains = aol.com
-     spf = fail:neutral
---------------------- */
-
-Explanation: AOL  publishes SPF  records, but  is liberal  and
-still allows  non-approved relays  to send  mail from aol.com.
-This will result in a "neutral" state, while mail from genuine
-AOL servers  will result  in "pass".  The example  above takes
-this into account and  treats "neutral" like "fail",  but only
-for aol.com. Please note that this violates the SPF draft.
-
-When the spf condition has run, it sets up several expansion
-variables.
-
-  $spf_header_comment
-  This contains a human-readable string describing the outcome
-  of the SPF check. You can add it to a custom header or use
-  it for logging purposes.
-
-  $spf_received
-  This contains a complete Received-SPF: header that can be
-  added to the message. Please note that according to the SPF
-  draft, this header must be added at the top of the header
-  list. Please see section 10 on how you can do this.
-
-  Note: in case of "Best-guess" (see below), the convention is
-  to put this string in a header called X-SPF-Guess: instead.
-
-  $spf_result
-  This contains the outcome of the SPF check in string form,
-  one of pass, fail, softfail, none, neutral, permerror or
-  temperror.
-
-  $spf_smtp_comment
-  This contains a string that can be used in a SMTP response
-  to the calling party. Useful for "fail".
-
-In addition to SPF, you can also perform checks for so-called
-"Best-guess".  Strictly speaking, "Best-guess" is not standard
-SPF, but it is supported by the same framework that enables SPF
-capability.  Refer to http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Best_guess_record
-for a description of what it means.
-
-To access this feature, simply use the spf_guess condition in place
-of the spf one.  For example:
-
-/* -----------------
-deny message = $sender_host_address doesn't look trustworthy to me
-     spf_guess = fail
---------------------- */
-
-In case you decide to reject messages based on this check, you
-should note that although it uses the same framework, "Best-guess"
-is NOT SPF, and therefore you should not mention SPF at all in your
-reject message.
-
-When the spf_guess condition has run, it sets up the same expansion
-variables as when spf condition is run, described above.
-
-Additionally, since Best-guess is not standardized, you may redefine
-what "Best-guess" means to you by redefining spf_guess variable in
-global config.  For example, the following:
-
-/* -----------------
-spf_guess = v=spf1 a/16 mx/16 ptr ?all
---------------------- */
-
-would relax host matching rules to a broader network range.

-2. Use the following global settings to configure Redis lookup support:
+3. Add the single key lookups to your exim.conf file, example lookups
+are below.

 
 

-Required:
-redis_servers       This option provides a list of Redis servers
-                    and associated connection data, to be used in
-                    conjunction with redis lookups. The option is
-                    only available if Exim is configured with Redis
-                    support.
+${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lmdb{/var/lib/baruwa/data/db/relaydomains.mdb}{$value}}
+${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lmdb{/var/lib/baruwa/data/db/relaydomains.mdb}{$value}fail}
+${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lmdb{/var/lib/baruwa/data/db/relaydomains.mdb}}

 
 

-For example:

 
 

-redis_servers = 127.0.0.1/10/ - using database 10 with no password
-redis_servers = 127.0.0.1//password - to make use of the default database of 0 with a password
-redis_servers = 127.0.0.1// - for default database of 0 with no password
+Queuefile transport
+-------------------
+Queuefile is a pseudo transport which does not perform final delivery.
+It simply copies the exim spool files out of the spool directory into
+an external directory retaining the exim spool format.

 
 

-3. Once you have the Redis servers defined you can then make use of the
-experimental Redis lookup by specifying ${lookup redis{}} in a lookup query.
+The spool files can then be processed by external processes and then
+requeued into exim spool directories for final delivery.

 
 

-4. Example usage:
+The motivation/inspiration for the transport is to allow external
+processes to access email queued by exim and have access to all the
+information which would not be available if the messages were delivered
+to the process in the standard email formats.

 
 

-(Host List)
-hostlist relay_from_ips = <\n ${lookup redis{SMEMBERS relay_from_ips}}
+The mailscanner package is one of the processes that can take advantage
+of this transport to filter email.

 
 

-Where relay_from_ips is a Redis set which contains entries such as "192.168.0.0/24" "10.0.0.0/8" and so on.
-The result set is returned as
-192.168.0.0/24
-10.0.0.0/8
-..
-.
+The transport can be used in the same way as the other existing transports,
+i.e by configuring a router to route mail to a transport configured with
+the queuefile driver.

 
 

-(Domain list)
-domainlist virtual_domains = ${lookup redis {HGET $domain domain}}
+The transport only takes one option:

 
 

-Where $domain is a hash which includes the key 'domain' and the value '$domain'.
+* directory - This is used to specify the directory messages should be
+copied to

 
 

-(Adding or updating an existing key)
-set acl_c_spammer = ${if eq{${lookup redis{SPAMMER_SET}}}{OK}}
+The generic transport options (body_only, current_directory, disable_logging,
+debug_print, delivery_date_add, envelope_to_add, event_action, group,
+headers_add, headers_only, headers_remove, headers_rewrite, home_directory,
+initgroups, max_parallel, message_size_limit, rcpt_include_affixes,
+retry_use_local_part, return_path, return_path_add, shadow_condition,
+shadow_transport, transport_filter, transport_filter_timeout, user) are
+ignored.

 
 

-Where SPAMMER_SET is a macro and it is defined as
+Sample configuration:

 
 

-"SET SPAMMER <some_value>"
+(Router)

 
 

-(Getting a value from Redis)
+scan:
+   driver = accept
+   transport = scan

 
 

-set acl_c_spam_host = ${lookup redis{GET...}}
+(Transport)

 
 

+scan:
+  driver = queuefile
+  directory = /var/spool/baruwa-scanner/input

 
 

-Proxy Protocol Support
---------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

-Exim now has Experimental "Proxy Protocol" support.  It was built on
-specifications from:
-http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
-
-The purpose of this function is so that an application load balancer,
-such as HAProxy, can sit in front of several Exim servers and Exim
-will log the IP that is connecting to the proxy server instead of
-the IP of the proxy server when it connects to Exim.  It resets the
-$sender_address_host and $sender_address_port to the IP:port of the
-connection to the proxy.  It also re-queries the DNS information for
-this new IP address so that the original sender's hostname and IP
-get logged in the Exim logfile.  There is no logging if a host passes or
-fails Proxy Protocol negotiation, but it can easily be determined and
-recorded in an ACL (example is below).
-
-1. To compile Exim with Proxy Protocol support, put this in
-Local/Makefile:
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_PROXY=yes
-
-2. Global configuration settings:
-
-proxy_required_hosts = HOSTLIST
-
-The proxy_required_hosts option will require any IP in that hostlist
-to use Proxy Protocol. The specification of Proxy Protocol is very
-strict, and if proxy negotiation fails, Exim will not allow any SMTP
-command other than QUIT. (See end of this section for an example.)
-The option is expanded when used, so it can be a hostlist as well as
-string of IP addresses.  Since it is expanded, specifying an alternate
-separator is supported for ease of use with IPv6 addresses.
-
-To log the IP of the proxy in the incoming logline, add:
-  log_selector = +proxy
-
-A default incoming logline (wrapped for appearance) will look like this:
-
-  2013-11-04 09:25:06 1VdNti-0001OY-1V <= me@example.net
-  H=mail.example.net [1.2.3.4] P=esmtp S=433
-
-With the log selector enabled, an email that was proxied through a
-Proxy Protocol server at 192.168.1.2 will look like this:
-
-  2013-11-04 09:25:06 1VdNti-0001OY-1V <= me@example.net
-  H=mail.example.net [1.2.3.4] P=esmtp PRX=192.168.1.2 S=433
-
-3. In the ACL's the following expansion variables are available.
-
-proxy_host_address  The src IP of the proxy server making the connection
-proxy_host_port     The src port the proxy server is using
-proxy_session       Boolean, yes/no, the connected host is required to use
-                    Proxy Protocol.
-
-There is no expansion for a failed proxy session, however you can detect
-it by checking if $proxy_session is true but $proxy_host is empty.  As
-an example, in my connect ACL, I have:
-
-  warn    condition      = ${if and{ {bool{$proxy_session}} \
-                                     {eq{$proxy_host_address}{}} } }
-          log_message    = Failed required proxy protocol negotiation \
-                           from $sender_host_name [$sender_host_address]
-
-  warn    condition      = ${if and{ {bool{$proxy_session}} \
-                                     {!eq{$proxy_host_address}{}} } }
-          # But don't log health probes from the proxy itself
-          condition      = ${if eq{$proxy_host_address}{$sender_host_address} \
-                                {false}{true}}
-          log_message    = Successfully proxied from $sender_host_name \
-                           [$sender_host_address] through proxy protocol \
-                           host $proxy_host_address
-
-4. Runtime issues to be aware of:
-   - Since the real connections are all coming from your proxy, and the
-     per host connection tracking is done before Proxy Protocol is
-     evaluated, smtp_accept_max_per_host must be set high enough to
-     handle all of the parallel volume you expect per inbound proxy.
-   - The proxy has 3 seconds (hard-coded in the source code) to send the
-     required Proxy Protocol header after it connects.  If it does not,
-     the response to any commands will be:
-     "503 Command refused, required Proxy negotiation failed"
-   - If the incoming connection is configured in Exim to be a Proxy
-     Protocol host, but the proxy is not sending the header, the banner
-     does not get sent until the timeout occurs.  If the sending host
-     sent any input (before the banner), this causes a standard Exim
-     synchronization error (i.e. trying to pipeline before PIPELINING
-     was advertised).
-   - This is not advised, but is mentioned for completeness if you have
-     a specific internal configuration that you want this:  If the Exim
-     server only has an internal IP address and no other machines in your
-     organization will connect to it to try to send email, you may
-     simply set the hostlist to "*", however, this will prevent local
-     mail programs from working because that would require mail from
-     localhost to use Proxy Protocol.  Again, not advised!
-
-5. Example of a refused connection because the Proxy Protocol header was
-not sent from a host configured to use Proxy Protocol.  In the example,
-the 3 second timeout occurred (when a Proxy Protocol banner should have
-been sent), the banner was displayed to the user, but all commands are
-rejected except for QUIT:
-
-# nc mail.example.net 25
-220-mail.example.net, ESMTP Exim 4.82+proxy, Mon, 04 Nov 2013 10:45:59
-220 -0800 RFC's enforced
-EHLO localhost
-503 Command refused, required Proxy negotiation failed
-QUIT
-221 mail.example.net closing connection
