Why not make the syntax logically consistent? If something is "seen"
then it's considered to be dealt with.

Where is the inconsistency?

"seen" is not a command, it's a modifier to a command and is documented
as such. That's perfectly consistent between the application and the docs.
It is, however, perhaps inconsistent with your personal view of the way
you want Exim's filter language to be, but it would be easier (for the
rest of us) for you to bend your view than to continually request that
Exim be changed. That's what (most of) the rest of us try to do :)

I think, again, you need to enlighten us as to what you're trying to do.

The field I am trying to fill is t_date, using '${quote_pgsql:${h_date}}'.
I assume that $h_date is empty because I am doing local delivery.

Using '$h_date' doesn't work either, and the same problem affects $h_subject.

I am not 100% sure if this will fix your problem, but with $h_ or header_ Exim
likes to have : at the end. So try using $h_subject: and $h_date etc. when you
refer to message headers. I had similar type of problems before I did this.

likely). A good many users escape spam by
Start new address
Forward old address for a while until most correspondents have caught on
Disable old address.
Use new address much more carefully than before.

For that pattern, of course, redirect is totally wrong.

In our AccountManager, we would have to make the difference between
forwarding and redirecting (in this sense) just as clear as the admin of a
traditional system would.

Not quite - it can't verify it, not because of an incorrect setup on
your side, but the remote host.

mail 14400 IN A 209.42.34.104

ftp 14400 IN A 64.79.202.138
mail.idonails.com 14400 IN MX 0 209.42.34.104

Incidentally, that probably isn't doing what you expect. You've added
an MX record for "mail.idonails.com.idonails.com". You should change
it to this really:

mail 14400 IN MX 0 209.42.34.104

The reason is that there should be a full stop on the end of the name
if it's fully qualified.

Hi Debbie,

Don't know if this has already been said, but I believe that the remote
mail server needs to accept null sender (RFC823?) as a valid address. We
shouldn't need to disable sender verification or change the from address
just because the remote mail server doesn't conform to the RFCs.

The reason for using null sender (correct me if I am wrong) is that this
avoids a loop if they try to perform sender verfication as well.

Cheers
Tim

Of course it can; Exim is very flexible. How to do this is in the
documentation.

However, doing so would be a long-term disservice to the
reliability of email. By not accepting null-sender mail
this site make it impossible to send them Delivery Status
Notifications ("bounces"), meaning that when you (or anyone)
has a problem delivering a mail you have accepted from
them, on behalf of one of their customers, you *cannot*
inform them by the usual standardized method.

Carry on encouraging them to change. Make the point that
refusing to accept bounces is also symptomatic of a
full-time spammer or compromised system.

Tony.

Not sure that is strictly true, at least in the broad definition
of 'accepting email', as Exim reads from an SQL DB just fine via
a socket.

And such DB can be used to store canned messages, build them in
response to <whatever>, or transit them from other (controlled)
DB input.

A handy way of imposing safe restrictions on webserver-generated
traffic, for instance.

ACK.

To the extent practical from the headers, I've backtracked both.

Neither of these would have passed our Exim MTA OR Ecartis MLM
settings here.

The same rulesets would of course, block postings from
'hobbyist' mx on dynamic IP without proper DNS records, but I
don't see that as an overall negative.

Such 'seekers of self improvement' (too be kind) ordinarily have
access to a bona-fide ISP MX they can use while learning.

Perhaps a Mailman/Exim ruleset tightening on sesame is due?

'..eating our own dogfood' so to speak...

Indeed. I'm quite flattered that I'm considered to be a worthy target
of all this attention!

When abuse is involved, 'anonymous' remailers can become rather
transparent.

A 'whois' in the IP's from whence those messages appear to have
connected to 'sesame' lists contacts for abuse reports at each
provider.

I leave the exercise of following that up to he-with-the-logs.

Please take these amateur home 'server' questions to the Debian exim

Always signing one's mail has its advantages.


yes, it means when you want to create ambiguity you can
leave the signature off a mail....


...or, in the case of one of the folks I regularly correspond
with, means a PGP sig that is often larger in byte-count than
the message body. As if the headers were not already such.

As they routinely are with sesame's MLM settings vs many posts
to this list.

BTW - FWIW department:

The mere use of the abbreviation for 'Mailing List Manager' in
my last post earned it SA points on the ML_MARKETING test.

'nuther reason I trust Exim's protocol-adherence tests to be
more consistent and precise than SA.
