Actually, my question was regarding skipping sender verifications if the
_recipient_ is of a certain domain. I can use
sender_verify_callback_domains to exclude certain senders' domains from
verification.
If what I'm trying to do sounds like a dirty hack, it's because it is =)
Currently, I have one domain for which I'd like no verifications at all;
just accept everything. This particular user has expressed that
rejecting false positives is unacceptable. For this example, let's call
it p.com. Currently, I maintain a list containing braindead domains
which have been rejected trying to send mail to p.com. The first time a
mail gets turned away, I add the braindead domain to this file, and the
retry of this message and any future messages from this domain are
accepted without verification.
What I was hoping for was some way for exim to do something like this:
220 doorstop.net ESMTP Exim 3.35 #1 Tue, 13 May 2003 17:12:44 -0700
EHLO braindead.com
250-doorstop.net Hello mail.colfax-intl.com [12.36.126.41]
250-SIZE
250-PIPELINING
250-STARTTLS
250 HELP
MAIL From: someone@???
>>> host in sender_verify_hosts? yes (*)
>>> verifying sender someone@???
>>> braindead.com in local_domains? no (end of list)
>>> someone@??? verification failed - will give error after DATA
250 <someone@???> is syntactically correct
RCPT To: someone@???
>>> RCPT is in p.com. Changed my mind: will not give error after DATA
250 <someone@???> verified
DATA
...
.
250 OK id=19FjwM-00088Y-00
It seems unlikely that there would be code in place to do this, and I'd
rather just move to exim4 than patch and run a custom exim3.
Thanks for the example, anyway.
good times,
Vineet
