--------------------------------------------------------------
+See also the main docs, for an alternative native support implementation.
-Exiscan currently includes SRS support via Miles Wilton's
+Exim can be built with SRS support using Miles Wilton's
libsrs_alt library. The current version of the supported
library is 0.5, there are reports of 1.0 working.
Unpack the tarball, then refer to MTAs/README.EXIM
to proceed. You need to set

-DMARC Support
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
-DMARC combines feedback from SPF, DKIM, and header From: in order
-to attempt to provide better indicators of the authenticity of an
-email. This document does not explain the fundamentals, you
-should read and understand how it works by visiting the website at
-http://www.dmarc.org/.
-
-DMARC support is added via the libopendmarc library. Visit:
-
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/opendmarc/
-
-to obtain a copy, or find it in your favorite rpm package
-repository. If building from source, this description assumes
-that headers will be in /usr/local/include, and that the libraries
-are in /usr/local/lib.
-
-1. To compile Exim with DMARC support, you must first enable SPF.
-Please read the Local/Makefile comments on enabling the SUPPORT_SPF
-feature. You must also have DKIM support, so you cannot set the
-DISABLE_DKIM feature. Once both of those conditions have been met
-you can enable DMARC in Local/Makefile:
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_DMARC=yes
-LDFLAGS += -lopendmarc
-# CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include
-# LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib
-
-The first line sets the feature to include the correct code, and
-the second line says to link the libopendmarc libraries into the
-exim binary. The commented out lines should be uncommented if you
-built opendmarc from source and installed in the default location.
-Adjust the paths if you installed them elsewhere, but you do not
-need to uncomment them if an rpm (or you) installed them in the
-package controlled locations (/usr/include and /usr/lib).
-
-
-2. Use the following global options to configure DMARC:
-
-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/.
- See also util/renew-opendmarc-tlds.sh script.
- The default for the option is currently
- /etc/exim/opendmarc.tlds
-
-Optional:
-dmarc_history_file Defines the location of a file to log results
- of dmarc verification on inbound emails. The
- contents are importable by the opendmarc tools
- which will manage the data, send out DMARC
- reports, and expire the data. Make sure the
- directory of this file is writable by the user
- exim runs as.
-
-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.
-
- 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,
-non-authenticated user. It makes sense to only verify DMARC
-status of messages coming from remote, untrusted sources. You can
-use standard conditions such as hosts, senders, etc, to decide that
-DMARC verification should *not* be performed for them and disable
-DMARC with a control setting:
-
- control = dmarc_disable_verify
-
-A DMARC record can also specify a "forensic address", which gives
-exim an email address to submit reports about failed alignment.
-Exim does not do this by default because in certain conditions it
-results in unintended information leakage (what lists a user might
-be subscribed to, etc). You must configure exim to submit forensic
-reports to the owner of the domain. If the DMARC record contains a
-forensic address and you specify the control statement below, then
-exim will send these forensic emails. It's also advised that you
-configure a dmarc_forensic_sender because the default sender address
-construction might be inadequate.
-
- control = dmarc_enable_forensic
-
-(AGAIN: You can choose not to send these forensic reports by simply
-not putting the dmarc_enable_forensic control line at any point in
-your exim config. If you don't tell it to send them, it will not
-send them.)
-
-There are no options to either control. Both must appear before
-the DATA acl.
-
-
-4. You can now run DMARC checks in incoming SMTP by using the
-"dmarc_status" ACL condition in the DATA ACL. You are required to
-call the spf condition first in the ACLs, then the "dmarc_status"
-condition. Putting this condition in the ACLs is required in order
-for a DMARC check to actually occur. All of the variables are set
-up before the DATA ACL, but there is no actual DMARC check that
-occurs until a "dmarc_status" condition is encountered in the ACLs.
-
-The dmarc_status condition takes a list of strings on its
-right-hand side. These strings describe recommended action based
-on the DMARC check. To understand what the policy recommendations
-mean, refer to the DMARC website above. Valid strings are:
-
- o accept The DMARC check passed and the library recommends
- accepting the email.
- o reject The DMARC check failed and the library recommends
- rejecting the email.
- o quarantine The DMARC check failed and the library recommends
- keeping it for further inspection.
- o none The DMARC check passed and the library recommends
- no specific action, neutral.
- o norecord No policy section in the DMARC record for this
- sender domain.
- o nofrom Unable to determine the domain of the sender.
- o temperror Library error or dns error.
- o off The DMARC check was disabled for this email.
-
-You can prefix each string with an exclamation mark to invert its
-meaning, for example "!accept" will match all results but
-"accept". The string list is evaluated left-to-right in a
-short-circuit fashion. When a string matches the outcome of the
-DMARC check, the condition succeeds. If none of the listed
-strings matches the outcome of the DMARC check, the condition
-fails.
-
-Of course, you can also use any other lookup method that Exim
-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:
-
- o $dmarc_status
- This is a one word status indicating what the DMARC library
- thinks of the email. It is a combination of the results of
- DMARC record lookup and the SPF/DKIM/DMARC processing results
- (if a DMARC record was found). The actual policy declared
- in the DMARC record is in a separate expansion variable.
-
- o $dmarc_status_text
- This is a slightly longer, human readable status.
-
- o $dmarc_used_domain
- This is the domain which DMARC used to look up the DMARC
- policy record.
-
- o $dmarc_domain_policy
- This is the policy declared in the DMARC record. Valid values
- are "none", "reject" and "quarantine". It is blank when there
- is any error, including no DMARC record.
-
-A now-redundant variable $dmarc_ar_header has now been withdrawn.
-Use the ${authresults } expansion instead.
-
-
-5. How to enable DMARC advanced operation:
-By default, Exim's DMARC configuration is intended to be
-non-intrusive and conservative. To facilitate this, Exim will not
-create any type of logging files without explicit configuration by
-you, the admin. Nor will Exim send out any emails/reports about
-DMARC issues without explicit configuration by you, the admin (other
-than typical bounce messages that may come about due to ACL
-processing or failure delivery issues).
-
-In order to log statistics suitable to be imported by the opendmarc
-tools, you need to:
-a. Configure the global setting dmarc_history_file.
-b. Configure cron jobs to call the appropriate opendmarc history
- import scripts and truncating the dmarc_history_file.
-
-In order to send forensic reports, you need to:
-a. Configure the global setting dmarc_forensic_sender.
-b. Configure, somewhere before the DATA ACL, the control option to
- enable sending DMARC forensic reports.
-
-
-6. Example usage:
-(RCPT ACL)
- warn domains = +local_domains
- hosts = +local_hosts
- control = dmarc_disable_verify
-
- warn !domains = +screwed_up_dmarc_records
- control = dmarc_enable_forensic
-
- warn condition = (lookup if destined to mailing list)
- set acl_m_mailing_list = 1
-
-(DATA ACL)
- warn dmarc_status = accept : none : off
- !authenticated = *
- log_message = DMARC DEBUG: $dmarc_status $dmarc_used_domain
-
- warn dmarc_status = !accept
- !authenticated = *
- log_message = DMARC DEBUG: '$dmarc_status' for $dmarc_used_domain
-
- warn dmarc_status = quarantine
- !authenticated = *
- set $acl_m_quarantine = 1
- # Do something in a transport with this flag variable
-
- deny condition = ${if eq{$dmarc_domain_policy}{reject}}
- condition = ${if eq{$acl_m_mailing_list}{1}}
- message = Messages from $dmarc_used_domain break mailing lists
-
- deny dmarc_status = reject
- !authenticated = *
- message = Message from $dmarc_used_domain failed sender's DMARC policy, REJECT
-
- warn add_header = :at_start:${authresults {$primary_hostname}}
-

DSN extra information
---------------------
If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO extra information will be added
Note that non-RFC-documented field names and data types are used.
-LMDB Lookup support
--------------------
-LMDB is an ultra-fast, ultra-compact, crash-proof key-value embedded data store.
-It is modeled loosely on the BerkeleyDB API. You should read about the feature
-set as well as operation modes at https://symas.com/products/lightning-memory-mapped-database/
-
-LMDB single key lookup support is provided by linking to the LMDB C library.
-The current implementation does not support writing to the LMDB database.
-
-Visit https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb to download the library or find it in your
-operating systems package repository.
-
-If building from source, this description assumes that headers will be in
-/usr/local/include, and that the libraries are in /usr/local/lib.
-
-1. In order to build exim with LMDB lookup support add or uncomment
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_LMDB=yes
-
-to your Local/Makefile. (Re-)build/install exim. exim -d should show
-Experimental_LMDB in the line "Support for:".
-
-EXPERIMENTAL_LMDB=yes
-LDFLAGS += -llmdb
-# CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include
-# LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib
-
-The first line sets the feature to include the correct code, and
-the second line says to link the LMDB libraries into the
-exim binary. The commented out lines should be uncommented if you
-built LMDB from source and installed in the default location.
-Adjust the paths if you installed them elsewhere, but you do not
-need to uncomment them if an rpm (or you) installed them in the
-package controlled locations (/usr/include and /usr/lib).
-
-2. Create your LMDB files, you can use the mdb_load utility which is
-part of the LMDB distribution our your favourite language bindings.
-
-3. Add the single key lookups to your exim.conf file, example lookups
-are below.
-
-${lookup{$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}}

Queuefile transport
-------------------
Queuefile is a pseudo transport which does not perform final delivery.
Specification: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dmarc-arc-protocol-11
Note that this is not an RFC yet, so may change.
+[RFC 8617 was published 2019/06. Draft 11 was 2018/01. A review of the
+changes has not yet been done]
+
ARC is intended to support the utility of SPF and DKIM in the presence of
intermediaries in the transmission path - forwarders and mailinglists -
by establishing a cryptographically-signed chain in headers.
an intermediary. One might do verify for local destinations.
ARC uses the notion of a "ADministrative Management Domain" (ADMD).
-Described in RFC 5598 (section 2.3), this is essentially the set of
-mail-handling systems that the mail transits. A label should be chosen to
-identify the ADMD. Messages should be ARC-verified on entry to the ADMD,
-and ARC-signed on exit from it.
+Described in RFC 5598 (section 2.3), this is essentially a set of

+of one organisation. A label should be chosen to identify the ADMD.
+Messages should be ARC-verified on entry to the ADMD, and ARC-signed on exit
+from it.
+
+
+Building with ARC Support
+--
+Enable using EXPERIMENTAL_ARC=yes in your Local/Makefile.
+You must also have DKIM present (not disabled), and you very likely
+want to have SPF enabled.
Verification
+Dovecot authenticator via inet socket
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+If Dovecot is configured similar to :-
+
+service auth {
+...
+#SASL
+ inet_listener {
+ name = exim
+ port = 12345
+ }
+...
+}
+
+then an Exim authenticator can be configured :-
+
+ dovecot-plain:
+ driver = dovecot
+ public_name = PLAIN
+ server_socket = dovecot_server_name 12345
+ server_tls = true
+ server_set_id = $auth1
+
+If the server_socket does not start with a / it is taken as a hostname (or IP);
+and a whitespace-separated port number must be given.
-Early pipelining support
-------------------------
-Ref: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-harris-early-pipe/
-
-If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT support is included for this feature.
-The server advertises the feature in its EHLO response, currently using the name
-"X_PIPE_CONNECT" (this will change, some time in the future).
-A client may cache this information, along with the rest of the EHLO response,
-and use it for later connections. Those later ones can send esmtp commands before
-a banner is received.
-
-Up to 1.5 roundtrip times can be taken out of cleartext connections, 2.5 on
-STARTTLS connections.
-
-In combination with the traditional PIPELINING feature the following example
-sequences are possible (among others):
-
-(client) (server)
-
-EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA ->
- <- banner,EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack,DATA-goahead
-message-data ->
-------
-
-EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,BDAT ->
- <- banner,EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack
-message-data ->
-------
-
-EHLO,STARTTLS ->
- <- banner,EHLO-resp,TLS-goahead
-TLS1.2-client-hello ->
- <- TLS-server-hello,cert,hello-done
-client-Kex,change-cipher,finished ->
- <- change-cipher,finished
-EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA ->
- <- EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack,DATA-goahead
-
-------
-(tls-on-connect)
-TLS1.2-client-hello ->
- <- TLS-server-hello,cert,hello-done
-client-Kex,change-cipher,finished ->
- <- change-cipher,finshed
- <- banner
-EHLO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA ->
- <- EHLO-resp,MAIL-ack,RCPT-ack,DATA-goahead
-
-Where the initial client packet is SMTP, it can combine with the TCP Fast Open
-feature and be sent in the TCP SYN.
-
-
-A main-section option "pipelining_connect_advertise_hosts" (default: *)
-and an smtp transport option "hosts_pipe_connect" (default: unset)
-control the feature.
-
-If the "pipelining" log_selector is enabled, the "L" field in server <=
-log lines has a period appended if the feature was advertised but not used;
-or has an asterisk appended if the feature was used. In client => lines
-the "L" field has an asterisk appended if the feature was used.
-
-The "retry_data_expire" option controls cache invalidation.
-Entries are also rewritten (or cleared) if the adverised features
-change.
-
-
-NOTE: since the EHLO command must be constructed before the connection is
-made it cannot depend on the interface IP address that will be used.
-The string "$sending_ip_address" is checked for; if it appears in helo_data
-and "def:sending_ip_address" does not, the facility is disabled.
-
-Transport configurations should be checked for this. An example avoidance:
-
- helo_data = ${if def:sending_ip_address \
- {${lookup dnsdb{>! ptr=$sending_ip_address} \
- {${sg{$value} {^([^!]*).*\$} {\$1}}} fail}} \
- {$primary_hostname}}
-
-
-
-
-TLS Session Resumption
-----------------------
-TLS Session Resumption for TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 connections can be used (defined
-in RFC 5077 for 1.2). The support for this can be included by building with
-EXPERIMENTAL_TLS_RESUME defined. This requires GnuTLS 3.6.3 or OpenSSL 1.1.1
-(or later).
-
-Session resumption (this is the "stateless" variant) involves the server sending
-a "session ticket" to the client on one connection, which can be stored by the
-client and used for a later session. The ticket contains sufficient state for
-the server to reconstruct the TLS session, avoiding some expensive crypto
-calculation and one full packet roundtrip time.
-
-Operational cost/benefit:
- The extra data being transmitted costs a minor amount, and the client has
- extra costs in storing and retrieving the data.
-
- In the Exim/Gnutls implementation the extra cost on an initial connection
- which is TLS1.2 over a loopback path is about 6ms on 2017-laptop class hardware.
- The saved cost on a subsequent connection is about 4ms; three or more
- connections become a net win. On longer network paths, two or more
- connections will have an average lower startup time thanks to the one
- saved packet roundtrip. TLS1.3 will save the crypto cpu costs but not any
- packet roundtrips.
-
- Since a new hints DB is used, the hints DB maintenance should be updated
- to additionally handle "tls".
-
-Security aspects:
- The session ticket is encrypted, but is obviously an additional security
- vulnarability surface. An attacker able to decrypt it would have access
- all connections using the resumed session.
- The session ticket encryption key is not committed to storage by the server
- and is rotated regularly (OpenSSL: 1hr, and one previous key is used for
- overlap; GnuTLS 6hr but does not specify any overlap).
- Tickets have limited lifetime (2hr, and new ones issued after 1hr under
- OpenSSL. GnuTLS 2hr, appears to not do overlap).
-
- There is a question-mark over the security of the Diffie-Helman parameters
- used for session negotiation. TBD. q-value; cf bug 1895
-
-Observability:
- New log_selector "tls_resumption", appends an asterisk to the tls_cipher "X="
- element.
-
- Variables $tls_{in,out}_resumption have bits 0-4 indicating respectively
- support built, client requested ticket, client offered session,
- server issued ticket, resume used. A suitable decode list is provided
- in the builtin macro _RESUME_DECODE for ${listextract {}{}}.
-
-Issues:
- In a resumed session:
- $tls_{in,out}_cipher will have values different to the original (under GnuTLS)
- $tls_{in,out}_ocsp will be "not requested" or "no response", and
- hosts_require_ocsp will fail
