Hello all, I noticed today that there is a client_addr field in the r/w database that stores the source server's IP address. On my setup (Exim4 -> Amavisd-new -> Exim4) this is always populated with NULL.
Having checked the mailing list I see that this is reliant upon the XFORWARD feature of Postfix (details on this are here for anybody not aware of it - http://www.postfix.org/XFORWARD_README.html). Obviously Exim doesn't have this feature - though there is a patch available (http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20060518.093957.3322cd9c.en.html). Has anybody found a way / have any suggestion how to get this working using Exim rather than Postfix? I'm not too keen about patching either Exim or Amavis because it makes upgrading a headache. I've not looked into the code that deeply though surely the same information could be carried in a standard header called 'X-Forward-IP' (or similar)? Is it really that easy or am I missing something somewhere? The general opinion on the Exim-dev list seems to be that the XFORWARD feature isn't required so it doesn't look like the patch will make it into the official binary any time soon. I'd appreciate your comments / suggestions. Thanks Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
