Public bug reported:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS"
Expected: That it would be possible to access a proxied client's IP address
Result: The feature is not supported in Ubuntu's build
When used behind a load-balancer such as HAProxy, Exim must be able to
access information about the original client in order to make various
policy decisions (relaying, blacklists, etc).
Exim already has this inbound proxy feature in the code base, but
requires "SUPPORT_PROXY=yes” in the Makefile.
Seeing as Ubuntu already compiles in support for Exim's outbound proxy
support (SOCKS), it seems only natural to include the complementary
feature.
Making this available will lower the burden on sysadmins who are called
upon to support a load-balanced configuration, admittedly a corner case
for mail servers.
