Debian has a similiar issue in the latest exim version, bug #962847, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=962847. There, the issue is probably related to a Linux system sent to Suspend and waking up later. I see the issue on my own notebook as well when delivering a message to the local exim via SMTP to localhost. exim has the message on the queue, but the SMTP session is hung, after "." in the data phase. pkill -9 exim and restarting exim will have the message sent by the next queue runner, but the calling software receives a connection abort and will eventually resend a second copy. A contributor on the bug report says: |I am pretty sure that the problem is caused by the commit 6906c131d1d07d07831f8fbabae6290a3cba6ca3 |(Use a monotonic clock, if available, for ID generation). |The change contains measuring of the difference between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and realtime once |at startup (exim_clock_init), but as far as I understand CLOCK_MONOTONIC |on Linux does not increase during suspend/hibernate (possibly wrognly [1]), |so the difference grows then, unaccounted for. | |[1]: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3527632/1236045 Is this the possible cause of the issue showing up on at least three Debian systems since we upgraded to exim 4.94?

Indeed, and it even makes its way through Debian's magic scripts,
making
|dc_other_hostnames='${extract{1}{.}{$primary_hostname}}'
valid and working in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf

[exim] short host name in local_domains
Hi, in Debian, local_domains gets seeded with "@:localhost" plus whatever the local administrator has entered to augment the list of local_domains. I am usually entering the short hostname of the host in that list, so that my local_domains usually ends up being like "@:localhost:myhost", knowing that @ gets expanded to myhost.domain.example by virtue of primary_hostname. This allows stupid local apps to send mail to localuser@myhost instead of localuser@myhost.domain.example to have localuser aliased away in the /etc/aliases file. Without myhost in local_domains, Mail to localuser@myhost would not be considered local and probably sent away to a smarthost without the virtue of having the local alias file consulted. Am I doing things wrong by adding the short host name to local_domains? Why does @ only expand to the FQDN and not to FQDN and the short host name? Why is there not q special expansion item expanding to the short host name? Greetings Marc, having been a bit out of touch with e-mail servers for the last years -- -- !!

You suggested using condition = in a router. Don't routers run before
the DATA phase? We haven't been talking about ACLs yet, have we?

Explain "many". I guess the vast majority of exim installation these days run just fine with the Debian magic. Debian is the last big Linux distribution that has not yet switched away from exim. There might be people thinking that this is the case _because_ Debian does a pretty good job in hiding away the clumsyness of hand-crafting exim configuration away from the vast majority of users while keeping it reasonably easy to modify exim's behavior. spec.txt is 35522 lines README.Debian.txt is 1300 lines. Even if the man pages added by Debian add up to anothe 2000 lines, Debian-specific documentation is less than 10 % of what one needs to read and understand anyway to write a hand-crafted exim configuration. Please consider not dismissing Debian's work on exim as "unuseable rubbish" just because you don't understand it. That's horribly impolite to do even if doing it not right in front of the people who have done a considerable part of the work of packaging Exim for Debian. Greetings Marc -- -- !!

This adds more strangeness, since the whitelists are only used - in Debian's default config - to exempt delivering hosts from sender verificatoin and sender callouts. Those are the only places that are processed in the RCPT ACL before the "relay not permitted" case that seems to trigger in your case.

Is there something in the fine logs? Let me re-phrase this: You have a Debian exim running as a MX server which accepts mail from the Internet and which works fine if the MX record points to your exim host itself. Your list of local_domains in /etc/exim4/local_domains is in fine working order. Then, you just let the MX record point to your load balancer, and the exim suddenly begins to reject all messages with a "relay not permitted" error? I haven't done serious eximing in the the last few years, but there used to be a config option that made exim relay automatically to any target domain where the MX record of the domain points to an IP address bound to the host that runs exim. I have always thought that doing so would be a bad idea so I have never actually set this option, and I believe that it has gone away with exim3, but the behavior you report does fit this option. Alas, I'm gettig old and do not remember the name. This is really embarrassing. To explain Jeremy's comment: When your exim is accepting a message, it does so because some ACL statement in your config file between the lines saying "acl_check_rcpt:" and "message = relay not permitted" tells it to accept the message. In the default config, this is only the case if: - the message was not received via IP - the message is addressed to postmaster at a local domain - the message is delivered from an IP address that your exim is configured to relay for - the sender authenticated before delivering the message I cannot think of a setup that would fail in the way you're reporting, this is really interesting. If you want help on this mailing list, I'm afraid that you'll need to post at least the part of your configuration between the lines saying "acl_check_rcpt:" and "message = relay not permitted". As an exception to my usual rule, you can also reply to me in private and I'll try helping. On the other hand: Why are you using a load balancer in the first place? SMTP does have its own mechanisms to spread load between systems that work quite well. A load balancer on the receiving end of an MX record is really only necessary in exceptional setups, such as when there is a vast number of MX hosts (more then twenty, thirty, I'd say) behind the domains in question. My educated guess is that you have somehow configured exim to accept mail for any domain that has its MX record pointing to the host that runs exim, which is not recommended, and this of course jumps in your face claws forward when you point the MX away from the host running exim.

A reject that is written in the ACL later than the accept hosts
applies. This does not happen when the message is delivered from a
whitelisted host using IPv4.

Really? spec.txt 10.3 "file names in lists" says that "Putting a file
name in a list has the same effect as inserting each line of the
file as an item in the list". I interpret that as the items are
inserted post separator processing.
Also, the last example in spec.txt 10.11 explicitly gives the example:
|recipient_unqualified_hosts = /opt/exim/unqualnets
|
|could make use of a file containing
|
|172.16.0.0/12
|3ffe::836f::/48
which is nearly identical to my setup.
Am I incorrect in this assessment?

I have in an ACL the following whitelist construct
| accept
|hosts = ${if exists{CONFDIR/local_host_whitelist}\
| {CONFDIR/local_host_whitelist}\
| {}}
The corresponding local_host_whitelist list is like this:
|127.0.0.1
|85.214.68.41
|85.214.131.164
|2a01:238:40b7:9102::200:100
|85.214.53.218
|2a01:238:4350:6101::100:100
This does not seem to work for the IPv6 addresses. Before I try
various combinations with doubled colons or brackets, how do I write
IPv6 addresses in those lists?
Greetings
Marc

I see. It's still clumsy behavior that the output of $h_header_foo

Yes, that sounds elegant indeed.

This causes the better part of the actual header to be displayed in the body pane. As far as I remember, a proper header line either starts with whitespace or with a Header Name followed by a colon. http://imgur.com/svdZSv3 illustrates how it looks in the mail client.

That didn't work. Replacing \n with \n did:
| ${if !eq {$h_x-spam-score:}{}\
| {X-Old-Spam-Score: ${sg{$h_x-spam-score:}{[\n\r]}{\n }}\n}{}}\
Mucho ugly. I'd rather have a cleaner solution.

[exim] how exim parses multiple headers into variables
Hi,
I have an interesting behavior of exim on Debian regarding multiply
existing headers - but it also may be something really stupid.
This is my exim:
|Exim version 4.80 #2 built 24-Jul-2014 03:28:02

|From: Marc Haber
|To: Marc Haber
|Subject: Re: subject
|X-Spam-Score: -4.2
|X-Spam-Score: -4.4
|
|this is the message body
My exim is running with a system filter:
|# Exim Filter
|
|headers add "${if !eq {$h_x-malware-found:}{}\
| {X-torres-Malware-Found: $h_x-malware-found:\n}{}}\

| "
|headers remove

| ${if !eq {$acl_m_spam_report}{}\
| {X-Spam-Report: $acl_m_spam_report\n}{}}\
|"

exim on the command line or via SMTP using swaks --data:

|Message-Id:
|X-torres-Spam-Score: -4.2
|
|-4.4
|
|this is the message body
Please notice that the contents of the two X-Spam-Score headers get
folded into a single one, with an empty line between the two
instances, and the second content without a leading space. This makes
other software think that this is the end of the headers, and the rest
of the message is placed in the body.
exim -d+all yields the following:
|19:49:24 13145 condition: !eq {$h_x-spam-score:}{}
|19:49:24 13145result: true
|19:49:24 13145 expanding: X-torres-Spam-Score: $h_x-spam-score:
|19:49:24 13145
|19:49:24 13145result: X-torres-Spam-Score: -4.2
|19:49:24 13145 -4.4
|19:49:24 13145
Is this the intended behavior? Is it the result of some
misconfiguration? Is it a (known) bug in Exim? Is there a fix/a
workaround?

Those have been taken from the Debian configuration. This is Debian's
full routers configuration (sans .if[n]def and comments, but in
order):
|begin routers
|
|domain_literal:
| driver = ipliteral
| domains = ! +local_domains
| transport = remote_smtp

| driver = manualroute
| domains = "${if exists{CONFDIR/hubbed_hosts}\

| same_domain_copy_routing = yes
| route_data = ${lookup{$domain}partial-lsearch{CONFDIR/hubbed_hosts}}
| transport = remote_smtp
|
|dnslookup_relay_to_domains:
| driver = dnslookup
| domains = ! +local_domains : +relay_to_domains
| transport = remote_smtp
| same_domain_copy_routing = yes
| no_more
|
|dnslookup:
| driver = dnslookup
| domains = ! +local_domains
| transport = remote_smtp
| same_domain_copy_routing = yes
| # ignore private rfc1918 and APIPA addresses
| ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8 : 192.168.0.0/16 :\
|172.16.0.0/12 : 10.0.0.0/8 : 169.254.0.0/16 :\
|255.255.255.255
| no_more
|
|nonlocal:
| driver = redirect
| domains = ! +local_domains
| allow_fail
| data = :fail: Mailing to remote domains not supported
| no_more
|
|smarthost:
| driver = manualroute
| domains = ! +local_domains
| transport = remote_smtp_smarthost
| route_list = * DCsmarthost byname
| host_find_failed = defer
| same_domain_copy_routing = yes
| no_more
Does the no_more hurt on any of the routers where we set it? I think
that we set no_more on all routers that take parts of the upstream
default's dnslookup router. I think it is more easily understood that
way, but I am open to (convincing) arguments.
If the no_more statements don't hurt, I'd rather keep them in place
for the sake of not making unnecessary changes.

Use a router that accepts an address if your conditions are met.
For example:
|hubbed_hosts:
| debug_print = "R: hubbed_hosts for $domain"
| driver = manualroute
| domains = "${if exists{CONFDIR/hubbed_hosts}\
| {partial-lsearch;CONFDIR/hubbed_hosts}\
| fail}"
| same_domain_copy_routing = yes
| route_data = ${lookup{$domain}partial-lsearch{CONFDIR/hubbed_hosts}}
| transport = remote_smtp
will read a config file in the form of
domain.example.com: server.example.com
and relay all messages for @domain.example.com to server.example.com.

Fix it. Frequently, the mail server is operated by a clueless IT department or governed by policies written by clueless people. Rejecting messages coming from the outside with a "local" mail address is a common measure implemented by such people to get rid of spam with forged senders.

[exim] spamassin running, but headers not always added
Hi,
I am using spamassassin and exiscan integration with the following
ACL:
| accept
|condition = ${if eq{acl_m_spam_no_filter}{1}}
|
| deny
|demime = com:vbs:bat:pif:scr:exe
|message = no Windows executeables accepted here
|log_message = reject, $found_extension file
|
| accept
|condition = ${if >{$message_size}{SPAM_SCAN_THRESHOLD}}
|
| # the following stanzas are only executed for messages that do not
| # exceed the size of SPAM_SCAN_THRESHOLD
|
| discard
|spam = exiscan:true
|log_message = drop, spam_score $spam_score, but delivered from whitelisted
sender $sender_address
|condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{SPAM_REJECT_THRESHOLD}}
|senders = ${if exists{CONFDIR/sa_mailinglist_senders}\
| {CONFDIR/sa_mailinglist_senders}\
| {}}
|
| discard
|spam = exiscan:true
|log_message = drop, spam_score $spam_score, but delivered from whitelisted
host $host_address
|condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{SPAM_REJECT_THRESHOLD}}
|hosts = ${if exists{CONFDIR/sa_noreject_hosts}\
| {CONFDIR/sa_noreject_hosts}\
| {}}
|
| deny
|spam = exiscan:true
|message = Message spam score is beyond reject threshold
|log_message = reject, spam_score $spam_score
|condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{SPAM_REJECT_THRESHOLD}}
|
|
| deny
|spam = exiscan:true
|message = Message spam score is beyond reject threshold for heavily
filtered recipients, try making your message look less spammy or re-send to
mh+lightlyfiltered200...@zugschlus.de
|log_message = reject (heavy), spam_score $spam_score
|condition = ${if eq{acl_m_spam_heavy_filter}{1}}
|condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{30}}
|
| warn
|spam = exiscan:true
|set acl_m_spam_score = ($spam_bar) $spam_score
|set acl_m_spam_report = $spam_report
The score and report are then inserted into the message by the
following system filter:
|# Exim Filter
|
|headers add "${if !eq {$h_x-malware-found:}{}\
| {X-Old-Malware-Found: $h_x-malware-found:\n}{}}\
| ${if !eq {$h_x-spam-score:}{}\
| {X-Old-Spam-Score: $h_x-spam-score:\n}{}}\
| ${if !eq {$h_x-spam-report:}{}\
| {X-Old-Spam-Report: $h_x-spam-report:\n}{}}\
| ${if !eq {$h_x-spam-checker-version:}{}\
| {X-Old-Spam-Checker-Version: $h_x-spam-checker-version:\n}{}}\
| ${if !eq {$h_x-spam-status:}{}\
| {X-Old-Spam-Status: $h_x-spam-status:\n}{}}\
| ${if !eq {$h_x-spam-level:}{}\
| {X-Old-Spam-Level: $h_x-spam-level:\n}{}}\
| "
|headers remove
X-Malware-Found:X-Spam-Score:X-Spam-Report:X-Spam-Checker-Version:X-Spam-Status:X-Spam-Level
|
|headers add "${if !eq {$acl_m_malware_name}{}\
| {X-Malware-Found: $acl_m_malware_name\n}{}}\
| ${if !eq {$acl_m_spam_score}{}\
| {X-Spam-Score: $acl_m_spam_score\n}{}}\
| ${if !eq {$acl_m_spam_report}{}\
| {X-Spam-Report: $acl_m_spam_report\n}{}}\
|"
This works, usually.
But occasionally, a message comes through with no Spamassassin Headers
inserted. When I inspect the logs for this message, I find out that
spamassassin has actually been running on the message (and has found
an exceptionally high score for the message), so it has not been found
to be too large to be scanned.
There are no other calls to the ACL spam = condition than listed
above, so I can be reasonably sure that the ACL is actually executed,
What might be going wrong here, and how can I debug and/or fix it?
Greetings
Marc

I guess that verizon only allows you with a certain mail address after authenticating, and either they or you have the address wrong. Greetings Marc -- ------ !!

You don't trust the init script's restart option, which does what you want. Why? Greetings Marc -- -- !!
