Αντικείμενο: [exim] requiring outbound AUTH at SMTP time
Specific situation... I have a user that wants guaranteed transport
level encryption on all outbound messages. Using a regular 'dnslookup'
router with an 'smtp' transport configured with:

    hosts_require_tls = *
    hosts_require_auth = +known_hosts


would probably do it. If the message routes to a host that doesn't
offer TLS or that we don't have AUTH credentials setup for the message
bounces back to the local sending user.

I'm wondering how I can make this a little more user friendly.
Specifically I'd like to have the message rejected at SMTP time so the
sender can tell when they hit 'Send' in their mail client instead of
having to wait for a possible bounce. So I'm thinking this has to be in
my check_rcpt_acl. And since it really hinges on which host the message
gets routed *TO* I'd like to be able to compare that host with my list
of +known_hosts.

Question: When I run a router in verification mode via an ACL is there
any way to get the name of the host(s) that it's going to pass on to the
transport? Or is that host[list] not even setup by a router running in
verification mode? Ideally I'm thinking something like

deny verify = recipient
     condition = ${if !match{+known_hosts}{$host}}


though "match()" probably isn't the right condition since both of those
arguments are potentially lists. But does that makes sense? Trying
this in debug mode it *looks* like the host list is setup by the router
in verification mode. But the $host variable definitely isn't set with
it (nor does the manual suggest that it would be, I was just hoping).
Is there another way for me to get at that info?

Thanks,
Rick
