This is not an exim server unless you have modified the banner - and  
your config has no sign have you having changed the banner in this way.

[Fwd: [karmasphere-users] ** IMPORTANT: Karmasphere Reputation Service End of Life ***]

Subject: [karmasphere-users] ** IMPORTANT: Karmasphere Reputation
Service End of Life ***
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 19:31:55 +0000 (GMT)

Hello,

As a registered user of Karmasphere Reputation Services, we wanted to let 
you know that we are discontinuing the service, effective November 16, 
2009. If you are using the services through DNS, BQuery or email plugins, 
please make plans to adjust your configurations ideally prior to November 
9 and no later than November 16, 2009.

On that final date, we will disable the reputation servers so that you can 
no longer query them. Anybody who still has not removed Karmasphere's 
reputation service from their mail configuration when this happens may 
find that their mail servers appear to slow down while they wait for their 
queries to Karmasphere to time out.

You may be thinking "why are they doing this?". The answer is that we are 
moving the business in a different direction. We have applied the 
experience gained in manipulating and analysing large data sets in 
reputation services into developing software that makes it easier to use 
Hadoop.

Obligatory SMTP Authentication in Exim

Dear colleagues! 

The sence of issue is in the following: how can I set up Exim's "configure"
so that it doesn't send mail from users without OBLIGATORY authentication but
exchanges messages with other MTAs without one? I've already broken my mind to
do this..

What should be configuration? May you give me real examples TODO? For example:
"you must set up authenticators (I'll be satisfied by simple PLAIN
authentication), and an ACL like this: ..."

May you help me?

I could explain: I have users outside my local network. They MUST be
authenticated  in any way. Local network users MAY BE passed without
authentication.

When I tried to set up it real, legal mail-servers takes Reject from my Exim.

I don't know what can I do?..

Sorry, if it isn't real bug.. :-) Please, answer to eyatsko <at> ngs.ru <mailto:eyatsko <at> ngs.ru>

Kind regards,
Ellad Yatsko

Re: Obligatory SMTP Authentication in Exim

Howdy Ellad,

You may want to have a look at http://wiki.exim.org/Authentication

If that doesn't help getting you get your SMTP authentication system up 
and running, let us know.

Custom retry bounce messages

Hi,

I was making some modifications to a third parties Exim system last 
night and came across something I couldn't solve. There is a retry rule 
for a specific type of error which has no retry times meaning it bounces 
immediately. The bounce messages looks like this:

========================================================================
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

   local_part <at> domain
     retry timeout exceeded
========================================================================

Is it possible for me to customise that response? "retry timeout 
exceeded" is technically correct, but it doesn't explain why the 
"timeout" was reached, and I'd like to add further information...

extra_local_interfaces in dnslookup router

I decided today to fix a long-standing issue in my config where a domain
that I may host (for web) would not necessarily mean they have email
services on the system as well.  This was causing errors in the logs that
said "remote host address is the local host", and I believe caused a
temporary defer of the email (meaning the problem never went away until the
remote host gave up retrying the message).

In my configuration, it's set to verify recipients via dnslookup if they
aren't in the list of known domains with email services via a dnslookup
router.  The issue that I noticed is if you have additional interfaces
configured with "extra_local_interfaces", there seems to be no way to get
access to that complete list when you're in the dnslookup router.  When Exim
goes to check DNS for the domain (via the dnslookup router), it considers a
domain to be local if the IP points to an ip in "local_interfaces" or
"extra_local_interfaces", which in this case here (of a domain that has it's
IP pointing to the system, though no mail services) causes a problem.

Currently, I have "ignore_target_hosts" (in my dnslookup router) set to
"127.0.0.0/8 : $received_ip_address", however that only gives me access to
the IP address in which the request came in on (and in the case of some
virtual hosting systems... that may be a bogus/internal IP address which is
really mapped to an external IP that you've explicitly configured in
"extra_local_interfaces").  Having to manually enter all of the IPs that
Exim may consider to be local, although possible, is not very portable and
means that you have to stay on top of that list any time it changes... not
really a viable option in some peoples cases.

So, I am wondering if there is an expansion variable that exists which
contains the full list of interfaces that Exim considers as local?  If not,
is it possible to have this added to Exim for the next release (not 4.70

Not a variable, but a match item:   <at> []
