If a malformed mail message shows up by SMTP (not local sendmail or submission),
will exim generally try to clean it up or just pass it along?
I see the discussion of submission mode in chapter 48 of the manual and all the
options about when to run it and what to tell it to do, but in practice, will a
typical system clean everything up, just locally submitted stuff, or soemthing
else? Tnx.
Exim's submission mode is set on a per-message basis
under the control of the local configuration.
The example config file in Exim git sets submission
for
a) anything received from a named-list of hosts
(the "list" can be static, can be a DB lookup).
The list is called "relay_from hosts" which is
a hint as to the intended use - but names are only
interpreted by the config, not meaningful to the
Exim code.
b) anything received under SMTP authentication
