Hi, Sergey -
As far as I remember, the standard Exim installation doesn't do any
checking of the "From:" headers. Instead it deals with the MAIL FROM and
RCPT TO addresses in the SMTP envelope.
So anything on your setup that's checking "From:" headers must have been
added by yourself? If so then presumably there might be an error in those
checks, not in Exim itself. Perhaps you could look out the lines in your
Exim configuration file that implement such checks and share them here;
someone might then be able to spot a mistake in them.
*However…*
The "From:" line you give as an example is
From: hdv@gmail <hdv.jadev@???>
and appears not to be valid under RFC 5322. That specification says a
"From:" line is defined as
from = "From:" mailbox-list CRLF
where
mailbox-list = (mailbox *("," mailbox)) / obs-mbox-list
mailbox = name-addr / addr-spec
name-addr = [display-name] angle-addr
display-name = phrase
phrase = 1*word / obs-phrase
word = atom / quoted-string
atom = [CFWS] 1*atext [CFWS]
atext = ALPHA / DIGIT / ; Printable US-ASCII
"!" / "#" / ; characters not including
"$" / "%" / ; specials. Used for atoms.
"&" / "'" /
"*" / "+" /
"-" / "/" /
"=" / "?" /
"^" / "_" /
"`" / "{" /
"|" / "}" /
"~"
In your sample the *display-name* field is hdv@gmail and includes an "@",
but this is not a character listed as being valid for *atext*. Therefore
the entire *display-name* string has to be enclosed within quotes.
So actually there might not be a mistake in your validation rule at all! If
I'm right about the "From:" header not being valid (can some confirm this?)
then your rule is doing its job and rejecting it! 😊
Cheers,
Mike B-)
