  • Non-SMTP ACL's

    I'd like to double check something that I don't see explicitly in the
    manual, though it seems to be implicit.
    The only ACL's run for non-SMTP mail are acl_not_smtp and, if available,
    acl_not_smtp_mime, right?
    I think acl_not_smtp_mime needs to be listed in "Specifying when ACLs
    are used", section 39.2 of the 4.6 spec. And maybe an explicit answer
    to my question, if it's not there already. (The lack of the mime acl
    was actually what started me thinking maybe other acls ran under
    non-smtp conditions. )
    Also, while I'm double-checking the obvious, if fetchmail delivers mail
    to exim via 127.0.0.1, that *is* an smtp delivery, right? And hosts =
    127.0.0.1 will match it?
    in A.4.4
    seems to indicate that hosts = : is the matching condition for "local
    SMTP (i.e., not over TCP/IP)". Is that a reference to using Unix
    sockets instead?

    Yes (though in the next version of Exim there will also be
    acl_not_smtp_start).

    I think acl_not_smtp_mime needs to be listed in "Specifying when ACLs
    are used", section 39.2 of the 4.6 spec.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Yes.

    No, it's the -bs option. (Exim doesn't have support for accepting email
    via a Unix domain socket.)

    great :) It would've been nice though if someone was acking patches
    or noting that they'd been (rewritten and) applied, I was still under
    the impression that I had to follow up on that patch.

    Hm, come to think of it, that's what I expect from the Linux kernel
    community. Am I supposed to follow something else for exim to see this
    for myself?

    I had already noted this for updating in the next edition (for the 4.63
    release), but Tony has got there first. Thanks, Tony!

    That works, good point.
