Subject: [exim] remote smtp server
Message: 1
Hi all,
How do we set up Exim (Exim 4) to use a remote smtp server (i.e,
AUTH,ROUTERSTART,TRANSPORTSTART)?
Section: AUTH
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = ": username : password"
Section: ROUTERSTART
send_to_smart_host:
driver = manualroute
route_list = !+local_domains hostname
transport = remote_smtp
Section: TRANSPORTSTART
remote_smtp_over_ssh:
driver = smtp
port = 2525
hosts_require_auth = hostname
Regards,
Hal

Hi Paul,

Hence my very specific questions related to what happens if I
queue the email on the router and the routing data is updated.
We have been doing this over the summer, and it works fine.
Remember that the ACLs are processed once at message receive time,
but the routers are run each time that the message is processed
from the queue.
We route everything internally using redirects (for example,
'real' address [email protected] is redirected internally to
[email protected], so there are a couple of routers
something like
internal_routing:
driver = dnslookup
domains = +all_local_domains
transport = smtp_inbound
no_more
find_mailbox:
driver = redirect
domains = le.ac.uk:leicester.ac.uk
data = ${lookup ...
I changed this to:
internal_routing:
driver = dnslookup
domains = +all_local_domains
transport = smtp_inbound
no_more
new_mailbox:
driver = redirect
domains = le.ac.uk:leicester.ac.uk
data = ${lookup ... in new directory...
pause_mail:
driver = redirect
domains = le.ac.uk:leicester.ac.uk
condition = PAUSE_RCPT
data = :defer:
allow_defer
no_verify
no_more
find_mailbox:
driver = redirect
domains = le.ac.uk:leicester.ac.uk
data = ${lookup ...
The pause router just keeps mail on the queue (it's no_verify, so
doesn't affect receipt) if a DNS entry is set based on the
username. It's a nice simple way I've got for another team to
immediately control lists of users that are being migrated, and it
stops mail being delivered to the old mailbox while the account is
being moved over. (Yes, it's a bit odd, but nsupdate on private
DNS zones is working really well for mail control here... it's
fast to update, distributed over multiple servers, resililent
in case of failures, and exim can query it directly).
So their migration procedure is something like
- pause the user
- create the new mailbox
- export any mail or other settings
- add the user to the new directory
- move mail or files over
- unpause the user
as soon as the user is added to the new directory, the new_mailbox
router will see it and route mail to the new mailbox (whether or
not any old mail has yet been moved - in actual fact someone made
the decision not to migrate old mail - don't ask - but that was
the procedure I gave them).
It's been working really well for all the migrations over the
summer.
Hope that helps,
Cheers
Matthew

Subject: [exim] Exim problem with non-TLS supporting senders
Message: 4
I've some users that cannot receive emails from a particular domain.
On checking the logs, I see massive ton of incomplete transaction
like
this
incomplete transaction (connection lost) from <xxx@xxxx> for yyy@yyy
unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command from ()
Running a mxtoolbox.com check on the other server seems to point to
the fact the sender's server does not support TLS.
I'm reluctant to disable TLS on exim just because of one sender so
wondering what is the best way to handle such senders?

Exim as a recipient isn't going to start TLS without being asked to
by
the sender.
I think you'll need to capture the SMTP transaction to see what's
going on.
