We've read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/EximAndDovecotSASL and so made the changes mentioned there, also setting auth_mechanisms = plain login in conf.d/10-auth.conf . With this setup, we're able to use AUTH LOGIN method on an SMTP session, but using AUTH PLAIN fails. What we receive in the SMTP session is: auth plain `echo -e -n `\0user\0password' | mimencode` 535 Incorrect authentication data (it's actually the output of that command that we put there), and in the dovecot log we see: 2012-05-24 15:04:20 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=smtp secured rip=127.0.0.1 lip=127.0.0.1 nologin resp=&lt;hidden&gt; 2012-05-24 15:04:20 auth: Info: plain(?,127.0.0.1): invalid input Do you know where we can look to resolve this problem?

In a vps I am limited by a certain number of sent emails per minute, I could use a relay server but I don't want! Probably I will never reach the limit, but just in case, can I define a limit to exim and delay the emails a certain time if the limit is reached? Thanks, Pedro Cirne </pre> Pedro Cirne 2012-05-26T19:22:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/91307 <pre>I have uploaded Exim 4.80 RC5 to: ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/test/ There is an attempt to resolve the compiler issues on some versions of Linux, a fix for OpenBSD's resolver library not having an expected typedef, and fixes to work on older OpenSSL libraries which lack SNI support. Everything else changed is documentation and test suite, so I'm going to permit myself a little optimism that this will be the last RC and that the final release can be cut late in the weekend, to await people on Monday morning. As an experiment, this time there are three versions of each file; bzip2, gzip and lzip. If you like lzip and want it to stay, please let us know. The main distribution is only 8% smaller than bzip2 (28% smaller than gzip), but perhaps this will really add up. I'm inclined to put out the 4.80 release with lzip and see what the reaction is. I'm also thinking that 4.80 might be the last release with SHA1 checksums in the release mails and that afterwards we'll stick to just SHA256.

Therefore, the no_more has no effect. It can be omitted without any consequences. I think spec.txt mentions a similar situation in a discussion about the manualroute. (Note that the following spec.txt discussion is about two other routers, not those I showed above.) $ grep -A34 '* The manualroute router' spec.txt | tail -10 There is no difference in behaviour between these two routers as they stand. However, they behave differently if no_more is added to them.

How can I activate SPF, DKIM and DomainKeys (if possible the three at the same time) in exim and to signout each sent mail and check each incoming mail. Thanks. </pre> fmendez73< at >terra.com 2012-05-21T20:44:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/91281 <pre>I have uploaded Exim 4.80 RC4 to: ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/test/ There was no RC3; there are some changes since RC2 worthy of note. There is a new option "tls_dh_max_bits" which affects TLS; with OpenSSL, it may cause a "tls_dhparams" file to be ignored. With GnuTLS, the number of bits GnuTLS recommends be used for Diffie-Hellman generation will be clamped to at most this value. The default "tls_dh_max_bits" is the current maximum allowed by the NSS security library used by Mozilla products such as Thunderbird. This resolves a GnuTLS vs NSS interoperability problem. Exim will now check the configured value of "tls_require_ciphers" at startup; what was an error that would cause Exim to fail STARTTLS will instead cause Exim to fail to start. This exposes latent misconfiguration and makes it clearer that something is going wrong. This also avoids the risk of crashes while talking to a remote server, if there are library linkage problems, reducing the chances of anything being exploitable</pre> Phil Pennock 2012-05-21T05:00:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/91252 <pre>I have started seeing these weird characters in a couple of emails.

I've increasingly been rejecting good messages and am trying to find out why. However, when looking at the rejectlog, it mentions why it was rejected (spam points) - but it doesn't show me how the e-mail qualified with that many points. Is there a way in Exim to set it so that it will log all of the rules that matched the e-mail into the rejectlog - indicating how the message got to that point level? Trying to look up information from the spamassassin website - and they mention a logging module to add to the local.cf file - but it doesn't seem to do anything different. Thank you!

Basically looking for a programmable backend that might do DNS lookups itself. Here's a possible example. There are servers out there that return country codes of IP addresses. But what about a country code for a host name? You would have to do an IP lookup on the host and then use the IP to get a country code. So - is there source code for something like this or a DNS server with a scripting language? </pre> Marc Perkel 2012-05-18T21:59:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.exim.user/91230 <pre>I have uploaded Exim 4.80 RC1 to: ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/test/ This release contains a number of backwards-incompatible changes, for both OpenSSL and GnuTLS, in the name of security (about the only reason we normally accept for being backwards incompatible). Please read over README.UPDATING carefully! We have jumped from 4.77 to 4.80 for this reason. This is the first release of Exim to support OpenSSL 1.0.1+. This release of Exim abandons maintaining hard-coded lists of ciphers for GnuTLS in favour of honouring GnuTLS library policy, so MD5-based certificates will no longer work and are not supported. The GnuTLS support has been re-written and there is the possibility of bugs. When building, please do not just recycle your previous Local/Makefile; there are a number of new possibilities in this release which may make your life easier, as support for using pkg-config to query CFLAGS/LIBS for various pieces of software has been added.

I am very in-experienced when it comes to mail server administration, however I was assigned a task to migrate an existing qmail server running on a ubuntu 8.0 server to a new opensource mail server that will be install and setup on a fresh redhat enterprise version 6 server. doing a bit of research I came across exim and it seems a really good MTA choice for our purpose specially being open source.

Let say a user can't send email if he has no. of recipients greater than 100 regardless in To, CC, BCC. Also. Sender should get an bouce back with customized message. 2- I need to block sender email address temporarily if no. of emails sent from his email address on specific threshold per hour. And sender email address should get an customized bounce back message. e.g. No user can send emails if 50 mails/hour send already from his account. NOTE: emails should be count as if 10 emails sent in one email. Overall 10 emails should be counted. I am using Exim 4.
