Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.69-11
Severity: important
I use this setting to control relaying for domains where I act as
backup MX:
grep relay_domains /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
dc_relay_domains='CONFDIR/relay.domains'
I believe this used to work well (I am sure of it), but it has at
some point stopped working, because update-exim4.conf translates it
to lowercase:
diz $ grep ^MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS= /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS=confdir/relay.domains
and this fails since exim's macro/var matching is case-sensitive.
This occurs here in the script:
seed_macro "MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS" "${dc_relay_domains}"
seed_macro() calls preprocess_macro() which runs lowercase() on its input.
Since this macro is used, in the default generated file, solely to create
a domainlist:
MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS=confdir/relay.domains
domainlist relay_to_domains = MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS
and because domainlist accepts a filename containing a list of domains,
it would seem that update-exim4.conf should not lowercase it.
This would seem to be a serious issue; failure to recognise the list
of relayed domains in the RCPT ACL causes the mail to be bounced "relay
not permitted".
best rergards,
calum.

dc_relay_domains is a LIST OF DOMAINS for which we accept mail from
anywhere on the Internet.
CONFDIR/relay.domains is not a LIST OF DOMAINS.

yes, a local admin error.
If you want to define the domainlist as something which is not a list
of domains, you're free to modify the actual configuration, all files
are dpkg-conffiles which are meant to be modified.
Greetings
Marc
