No I don't believe that is it, because in the output of running exim with
-d, it shows it evaluating the condition but it just says that the condition
failed to trigger the warn statement (thus, verification has passed):

28805 using ACL "acl_check_helo"
28805 processing "warn"
28805 check verify = helo
28805 warn: condition test failed
28805 processing "accept"

See, it processed the warn statement, did the verification (which was
actually done earlier):

28805 SMTP<< helo funky
28805 funky in helo_lookup_domains? no (end of list)
28805 sender_fullhost = (funky) [24.157.70.246]
28805 sender_rcvhost = [24.157.70.246] (helo=funky)

28805 LOG: host_lookup_failed MAIN
28805 no IP address found for host funky (during SMTP connection from

28805 HELO verification failed but host is in helo_try_verify_hosts

Verification failed, thus meaning that "verify = helo" should return a false
value. So I don't think the verification stuff is working incorrectly, I
think it's just the final result code that's stored that is either incorrect
(or contrary to what documentation says it should be), or that "verify =
helo" is working backwards or only one-wayish (to always return true).

I added the test to my RCPT ACL as well, and still saw no warning:

28805 SMTP<< rcpt to: <user1@???>
28805 using ACL "acl_check_rcpt"
...
28805 processing "warn"
28805 check verify = helo
28805 warn: condition test failed

As you can see, the same result is to be had. I even went and changed the
HELO ACL to trigger on the DATA ACL instead, but the same result as always:

28812 Data file written for message 1AYGBD-0007Ui-Ci
28812 using ACL "acl_check_helo"
28812 processing "warn"
28812 check verify = helo
28812 warn: condition test failed

I'm hoping I didn't find a bug here :) Maybe just the docs are incorrect or
I interpreted them the wrong way? Sooo, I decided to run -d+all (switched
back to a HELO ACL for simplicity):

But that didn't seem to yeild any more information than we had already (I
stripped exim if that's why there's hex numbers rather than something
else... Not sure).

Any other tests anyone can suggest I run?

Eli.

Have you tried moving that warn statement to the RCPT acl? I don't believe
verification has been performed yet when the HELO acl runs. I did the
original patch for this and I put it before the verification because the
string becomes blank if it fails verification.
