[exim] detecting DMARC-protected domain

2018-07-07 Thread Julian Bradfield via Exim-users
Is there a way to detect, in the Exim configuration file, whether a sender domain has a DMARC record? As far as Google tells me, the only mention of DMARC in the Exim spec is the acknowledgement of the OpenDMARC library. I suppose I should explain the reason, in case there's a better way: one of

I wonder if any of you have done any analysis of how much spam email is SPF-valid? For many years, one of my main spam defences has been a reasonably aggressive greylisting strategy. This works well at never seeing the spam from the "fire-and-forget" spambots, but it has the downside of

I should like exim to drop the connection on a client AUTH failure. (Because as soon it's seen in the log, fail2ban will DROP the client IP, and so the exim process will hang around until the SMTP session times out.) However, I can't see a way to do this. Am I missing something in the docs? --
