Subject: [exim] AUTH failure for local cron job output
Hi Folks

I would if one of you would be so kind as to help me with a mail auth
problem - I'm getting the following when an amanda cron job runs to send
me a reminder about backups:

2006-10-16 11:16:26 ignoring AUTH=amanda@??? from
H=localhost (gabrielle.bevteccom.co.uk) [127.0.0.1] (client not
authenticated)
2006-10-16 11:16:26 remote host address is the local host:
gabrielle.bevteccom.co.uk (while verifying
<amanda@???> from host localhost
(gabrielle.bevteccom.co.uk) [127.0.0.1])
2006-10-16 11:16:26 H=localhost (gabrielle.bevteccom.co.uk) [127.0.0.1]
sender verify defer for <amanda@???>: remote host
address is the local host
2006-10-16 11:16:26 H=localhost (gabrielle.bevteccom.co.uk) [127.0.0.1]
F=<amanda@???> temporarily rejected RCPT
<brwk@???>: Could not complete sender verify

I thought all I'd changed was the AUTHENTICATORS section where I'd added
a lookup in /etc/exim/authpwd for username/password combination for
external AUTH'd SMTP/S mail sending. I tried to back out that change
and it'd didn't work either. This is the changed code:

plain:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = PLAIN
  server_condition = \
        ${if crypteq{$3}{${extract{1}{:}{${lookup{$2}lsearch{/etc/exim/authpwd}{$value}{*:*}}}}}{1}{0}}
  server_set_id = $2


I'm running exim on Fedora Core 5 using version exim-4.43 built from
source RPMs.

I enclose my (almost) full exim.conf file below.

Cheers.

Regards, Bevis.

# Whenever you change Exim's configuration file, you *must* remember to    #

#                    MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS                     #
######################################################################


# Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully
# qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the
# uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases this does
# the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.

# primary_hostname =


# The next three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts.
# These lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
# +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
# are all colon-separated lists:

domainlist local_domains = bevteccom.co.uk : \
    bevteccom.com : \
    budd-rdc.org : \
    budd-rdc.com 
domainlist relay_to_domains =
hostlist   relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : \
    localhost.localdomain : \
    cyane.bevteccom.co.uk : \
    amarice.bevteccom.co.uk : \
    callisto.bevteccom.co.uk : \
    livia.bevteccom.co.uk : \
    xena.bevteccom.co.uk : \
    gabrielle.bevteccom.co.uk 


# Most straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
# appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations, you
# may need to modify the Access Control List (ACL) which appears later in this
# file.

# The first setting specifies your local domains, for example:
#
# domainlist local_domains = my.first.domain : my.second.domain
#
# You can use "@" to mean "the name of the local host", as in the default
# setting above. This is the name that is specified by primary_hostname,
# as specified above (or defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
# deliveries, remove the "@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
# addressed to your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
# "user@???", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
# list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is not
# recommended for today's Internet.

# The second setting specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
# If you are not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
# if your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
# must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
#
# domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
#
# This will allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
# See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
# information.

# The third setting specifies hosts that can use your host as an outgoing relay
# to any other host on the Internet. Such a setting commonly refers to a
# complete local network as well as the localhost. For example:
#
# hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 192.168.0.0/16
#
# The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a number of hosts. Note that you
# have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to allow processes on your host to send
# SMTP mail by using the loopback address. A number of MUAs use this method of
# sending mail.


# All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item, including
# wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See the reference
# manual for details. The lists above are used in the access control list for
# incoming messages. The name of this ACL is defined here:

acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt

# You should not change that setting until you understand how ACLs work.

# The following ACL entries are used if you want to do content scanning with
# the exiscan-acl patch. When you uncomment one of these lines, you must also
# review the respective entries in the ACL section further below.

# acl_smtp_mime = acl_check_mime
# acl_smtp_data = acl_check_content

# This configuration variable defines the virus scanner that is used with
# the 'malware' ACL condition of the exiscan acl-patch. If you do not use
# virus scanning, leave it commented. Please read doc/exiscan-acl-readme.txt
# for a list of supported scanners.

# av_scanner = sophie:/var/run/sophie

# The following setting is only needed if you use the 'spam' ACL condition
# of the exiscan-acl patch. It specifies on which host and port the SpamAssassin
# "spamd" daemon is listening. If you do not use this condition, or you use
# the default of "127.0.0.1 783", you can omit this option.

# spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783

# Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses
# here. An unqualified address is one that does not contain an "@" character
# followed by a domain. For example, "caesar@???" is a fully qualified
# address, but the string "caesar" (i.e. just a login name) is an unqualified
# email address. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
# default. See the recipient_unqualified_hosts option if you want to permit
# unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is not set, the
# primary_hostname value is used for qualification.

# qualify_domain =
qualify_domain = bevteccom.co.uk


# If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be qualified with a different
# domain to unqualified sender addresses, specify the recipient domain here.
# If this option is not set, the qualify_domain value is used.

# qualify_recipient =


# The following line must be uncommented if you want Exim to recognize
# addresses of the form "user@???" that is, with a "domain literal"
# (an IP address) instead of a named domain. The RFCs still require this form,
# but it makes little sense to permit mail to be sent to specific hosts by
# their IP address in the modern Internet. This ancient format has been used
# by those seeking to abuse hosts by using them for unwanted relaying. If you
# really do want to support domain literals, uncomment the following line, and
# see also the "domain_literal" router below.

# allow_domain_literals


# No deliveries will ever be run under the uids of these users (a colon-
# separated list). An attempt to do so causes a panic error to be logged, and
# the delivery to be deferred. This is a paranoic safety catch. There is an
# even stronger safety catch in the form of the FIXED_NEVER_USERS setting
# in the configuration for building Exim. The list of users that it specifies
# is built into the binary, and cannot be changed. The option below just adds
# additional users to the list. The default for FIXED_NEVER_USERS is "root",
# but just to be absolutely sure, the default here is also "root".

# Note that the default setting means you cannot deliver mail addressed to root
# as if it were a normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have
# an alias for root that redirects such mail to a human administrator.

never_users = root


# The setting below causes Exim to do a reverse DNS lookup on all incoming
# IP calls, in order to get the true host name. If you feel this is too
# expensive, you can specify the networks for which a lookup is done, or
# remove the setting entirely.

host_lookup = *


# The settings below, which are actually the same as the defaults in the
# code, cause Exim to make RFC 1413 (ident) callbacks for all incoming SMTP
# calls. You can limit the hosts to which these calls are made, and/or change
# the timeout that is used. If you set the timeout to zero, all RFC 1413 calls
# are disabled. RFC 1413 calls are cheap and can provide useful information
# for tracing problem messages, but some hosts and firewalls have problems
# with them. This can result in a timeout instead of an immediate refused
# connection, leading to delays on starting up an SMTP session.

rfc1413_hosts = *
rfc1413_query_timeout = 30s


# By default, Exim expects all envelope addresses to be fully qualified, that
# is, they must contain both a local part and a domain. If you want to accept
# unqualified addresses (just a local part) from certain hosts, you can specify
# these hosts by setting one or both of
#
# sender_unqualified_hosts =
# recipient_unqualified_hosts =
#
# to control sender and recipient addresses, respectively. When this is done,
# unqualified addresses are qualified using the settings of qualify_domain
# and/or qualify_recipient (see above).


# If you want Exim to support the "percent hack" for certain domains,
# uncomment the following line and provide a list of domains. The "percent
# hack" is the feature by which mail addressed to x%y@z (where z is one of
# the domains listed) is locally rerouted to x@y and sent on. If z is not one
# of the "percent hack" domains, x%y is treated as an ordinary local part. This
# hack is rarely needed nowadays; you should not enable it unless you are sure
# that you really need it.
#
# percent_hack_domains =
#
# As well as setting this option you will also need to remove the test
# for local parts containing % in the ACL definition below.


# When Exim can neither deliver a message nor return it to sender, it "freezes"
# the delivery error message (aka "bounce message"). There are also other
# circumstances in which messages get frozen. They will stay on the queue for
# ever unless one of the following options is set.

# This option unfreezes frozen bounce messages after two days, tries
# once more to deliver them, and ignores any delivery failures.

ignore_bounce_errors_after = 2d

# This option cancels (removes) frozen messages that are older than a week.

timeout_frozen_after = 7d

# The following section of the ACL is concerned with local parts that contain
# @ or % or ! or / or | or dots in unusual places.
#
# The characters other than dots are rarely found in genuine local parts, but
# are often tried by people looking to circumvent relaying restrictions.
# Therefore, although they are valid in local parts, these rules lock them
# out, as a precaution.
#
# Empty components (two dots in a row) are not valid in RFC 2822, but Exim
# allows them because they have been encountered. (Consider local parts
# constructed as "firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
# someone like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
# with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as part of a
# file name (e.g. for a mailing list). This is also true for local parts that
# contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be troublesome if the local part is
# incorporated unthinkingly into a shell command line.
#
# Two different rules are used. The first one is stricter, and is applied to
# messages that are addressed to one of the local domains handled by this
# host. It blocks local parts that begin with a dot or contain @ % ! / or |.
# If you have local accounts that include these characters, you will have to

# The second rule applies to all other domains, and is less strict. This
# allows your own users to send outgoing messages to sites that use slashes
# and vertical bars in their local parts. It blocks local parts that begin
# with a dot, slash, or vertical bar, but allows these characters within the
# local part. However, the sequence /../ is barred. The use of @ % and ! is
# blocked, as before. The motivation here is to prevent your users (or
# your users' viruses) from mounting certain kinds of attack on remote sites.

# This router routes to remote hosts over SMTP by explicit IP address,
# when an email address is given in "domain literal" form, for example,
# <user@???>. The RFCs require this facility. However, it is
# little-known these days, and has been exploited by evil people seeking
# to abuse SMTP relays. Consequently it is commented out in the default
# configuration. If you uncomment this router, you also need to uncomment
# allow_domain_literals above, so that Exim can recognize the syntax of
# domain literal addresses.

# domain_literal:
# driver = ipliteral

# This router routes addresses that are not in local domains by doing a DNS
# lookup on the domain name. Any domain that resolves to 0.0.0.0 or to a
# loopback interface address (127.0.0.0/8) is treated as if it had no DNS
# entry. Note that 0.0.0.0 is the same as 0.0.0.0/32, which is commonly treated
# as the local host inside the network stack. It is not 0.0.0.0/0, the default
# route. If the DNS lookup fails, no further routers are tried because of
# the no_more setting, and consequently the address is unrouteable.

# This router handles aliasing using a linearly searched alias file with the
# name SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE. When this configuration is installed automatically,
# the name gets inserted into this file from whatever is set in Exim's
# build-time configuration. The default path is the traditional /etc/aliases.
# If you install this configuration by hand, you need to specify the correct
# path in the "data" setting below.

##### NB You must ensure that the alias file exists. It used to be the case
##### NB that every Unix had that file, because it was the Sendmail default.
##### NB These days, there are systems that don't have it. Your aliases
##### NB file should at least contain an alias for "postmaster".

# If any of your aliases expand to pipes or files, you will need to set
# up a user and a group for these deliveries to run under. You can do
# this by uncommenting the "user" option below (changing the user name
# as appropriate) and adding a "group" option if necessary. Alternatively, you

# This transport is used for local delivery to user mailboxes in traditional
# BSD mailbox format. By default it will be run under the uid and gid of the
# local user, and requires the sticky bit to be set on the /var/mail directory.
# Some systems use the alternative approach of running mail deliveries under a
# particular group instead of using the sticky bit. The commented options below
# show how this can be done.

# This transport is used for handling pipe deliveries generated by alias or
# .forward files. If the pipe generates any standard output, it is returned
# to the sender of the message as a delivery error. Set return_fail_output
# instead of return_output if you want this to happen only when the pipe fails
# to complete normally. You can set different transports for aliases and
# forwards if you want to - see the references to address_pipe in the routers
# section above.
