2. Use the following global settings to configure DMARC:
-Optional:
+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/.
- If unset, "/etc/exim/opendmarc.tlds" (hardcoded)
- is used.
+ See also util/renew-opendmarc-tlds.sh script.
Optional:
dmarc_history_file Defines the location of a file to log results
directory of this file is writable by the user
exim runs as.
-dmarc_forensic_sender The email address to use when sending a
+dmarc_forensic_sender Alternate 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@$default_hostname
+
+ If set, this is expanded and used for the
+ From: header line; the address is extracted
+ from it and used for the envelope from.
+ If not set, the From: header is expanded from
+ the dsn_from option, and <> is used for the
+ envelope from.
+
+ Default: unset.
3. By default, the DMARC processing will run for any remote,
supports, including LDAP, Postgres, MySQL, etc, as long as the
result is a list of colon-separated strings.
+Performing the check sets up information used by the
+${authresults } expansion item.
+
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:
are "none", "reject" and "quarantine". It is blank when there
is any error, including no DMARC record.
- o $dmarc_ar_header
- This is the entire Authentication-Results header which you can
- add using an add_header modifier.
+A now-redundant variable $dmarc_ar_header has now been withdrawn.
+Use the ${authresults } expansion instead.
5. How to enable DMARC advanced operation:
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 = *
!authenticated = *
message = Message from $dmarc_used_domain failed sender's DMARC policy, REJECT
+ warn add_header = :at_start:${authresults {$primary_hostname}}
+
DSN extra information
The spool files can then be processed by external processes and then
requeued into exim spool directories for final delivery.
+However, note carefully the warnings in the main documentation on
+qpool file formats.
The motivation/inspiration for the transport is to allow external
processes to access email queued by exim and have access to all the
The transport only takes one option:
* directory - This is used to specify the directory messages should be
-copied to
+copied to. Expanded.
The generic transport options (body_only, current_directory, disable_logging,
debug_print, delivery_date_add, envelope_to_add, event_action, group,
Note that it would be wise to strip incoming messages of A-R headers
that claim to be from our own <admd-identifier>.
-There are two new variables: $arc_state and $arc_state_reason.
+There are four new variables:
+
+ $arc_state One of pass, fail, none
+ $arc_state_reason (if fail, why)
+ $arc_domains colon-sep list of ARC chain domains, in chain order.
+ problematic elements may have empty list elements
+ $arc_oldest_pass lowest passing instance number of chain
+
+Example:
+ logwrite = oldest-p-ams: <${reduce {$lh_ARC-Authentication-Results:} \
+ {} \
+ {${if = {$arc_oldest_pass} \
+ {${extract {i}{${extract {1}{;}{$item}}}}} \
+ {$item} {$value}}} \
+ }>
Receive log lines for an ARC pass will be tagged "ARC".
Signing
--
-arc_sign = <admd-identifier> : <selector> : <privkey>
+arc_sign = <admd-identifier> : <selector> : <privkey> [ : <options> ]
An option on the smtp transport, which constructs and prepends to the message
an ARC set of headers. The textually-first Authentication-Results: header
is used as a basis (you must have added one on entry to the ADMD).
Expanded as a whole; if unset, empty or forced-failure then no signing is done.
-If it is set, all three elements must be non-empty.
+If it is set, all of the first three elements must be non-empty.
+
+The fourth element is optional, and if present consists of a comma-separated list
+of options. The options implemented are
+
+ timestamps Add a t= tag to the generated AMS and AS headers, with the
+ current time.
+ expire[=<val>] Add an x= tag to the generated AMS header, with an expiry time.
+ If the value <val> is an plain number it is used unchanged.
+ If it starts with a '+' then the following number is added
+ to the current time, as an offset in seconds.
+ If a value is not given it defaults to a one month offset.
+
+[As of writing, gmail insist that a t= tag on the AS is mandatory]
Caveats:
* There must be an Authentication-Results header, presumably added by an ACL
while receiving the message, for the same ADMD, for arc_sign to succeed.
This requires careful coordination between inbound and outbound logic.
+
+ Only one A-R header is taken account of. This is a limitation versus
+ the ARC spec (which says that all A-R headers from within the ADMD must
+ be used).
+
* If passing a message to another system, such as a mailing-list manager
(MLM), between receipt and sending, be wary of manipulations to headers made
by the MLM.
+ For instance, Mailman with REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS==3 might improve
deliverability in a pre-ARC world, but that option also renames the
Authentication-Results header, which breaks signing.
+
* Even if you use multiple DKIM keys for different domains, the ARC concept
should try to stick to one ADMD, so pick a primary domain and use that for
AR headers and outbound signing.
+Signing is not compatible with cutthrough delivery; any (before expansion)
+value set for the option will result in cutthrough delivery not being
+used via the transport in question.

+REQUIRETLS support
+------------------
+Ref: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-uta-smtp-require-tls-03
+
+If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_REQUIRETLS support is included for this
+feature, where a REQUIRETLS option is added to the MAIL command.
+The client may not retry in clear if the MAIL+REQUIRETLS fails (or was never
+offered), and the server accepts an obligation that any onward transmission
+by SMTP of the messages accepted will also use REQUIRETLS - or generate a
+fail DSN.
+
+The Exim implementation includes
+- a main-part option tls_advertise_requiretls; host list, default "*"
+- an observability variable $requiretls returning yes/no
+- an ACL "control = requiretls" modifier for setting the requirement
+- Log lines and Received: headers capitalise the S in the protocol
+ element: "P=esmtpS"
+
+Differences from spec:
+- we support upgrading the requirement for REQUIRETLS, including adding
+ it from cold, within an MTA. The spec only define the sourcing MUA
+ as being able to source the requirement, and makes no mention of upgrade.
+- No support is coded for the RequireTLS header (which can be used
+ to annul DANE and/or STS policiy). [this can _almost_ be done in
+ transport option expansions, but not quite: it requires tha DANE-present
+ but STARTTLS-failing targets fallback to cleartext, which current DANE
+ coding specifically blocks]
+
+Note that REQUIRETLS is only advertised once a TLS connection is achieved
+(in contrast to STARTTLS). If you want to check the advertising, do something
+like "swaks -s 127.0.0.1 -tls -q HELO".
