Temat: Re: [exim] Signing messages with DKIM in SMTP transport
Dear all,

I'm almost there with DKIM signing (Yay!)…

The last step is to remove any "Authentication-Results:" headers from
incoming messages arriving from untrusted sources when the header's
AuthservId matches ours (york.ac.uk)

In my ACLs I have a *warn* verb that:

1. triggers for sending hosts not in our +relay_from_hosts list,
2. extracts the AuthservId from the Authentication-Results header,
3. checks this value in a file holding AuthServIds we use when signing,
and
4. if it's found removes the header.

It looks like this:

warn    message       = Removing Authentication-Results header from
incoming message via [$sender_host_address]
        ! hosts       = +relay_from_hosts
        set acl_m_authserv_id = ${if match {$h_Authentication-Results:} \
                                           {\N^\s*([^"][^
;]*|".*?(?<!\\)")\N} \
                                           {${sg {$1} {\N^"(.*)"$\N}
{\$1}}} }
        logwrite      = Found Authentication-Results header with
authserv_id "$acl_m_authserv_id"
        condition     = ${if bool_lax {${lookup {$acl_m_authserv_id}
lsearch {/etc/exim4/cfg.d/dkim-signing-selectors}}}}
        logwrite      = Matched authserv_id "$acl_m_authserv_id" in
dkim-signing-selectors list! -- Removing header
        remove_header = Authentication-Results


This seems to be working, but I'm a little unsure of the rexexp that
extracts the AuthservId from the header and would really appreciate someone
seeing if they think it's right!

\N^\s*([^"][^ ;]*|".*?(?<!\\)")\N


I reckon this should match:

   - A run of zero or more whitespace characters at the start of the
   header's value (I'm not sure whether this is necessary: I have a feeling
   Exim trims these?), followed by *either*
      - A *token*: A character that isn't a ", zero or more characters that
      aren't either whitespace or a semi-colon *OR*
      - A *quoted-string*: A " character followed by a minimal run of
      characters up to a " character not preceded by a \ escape.


Basically I'm trying to match and remember the *authserv-id* of the
Authentication-Results header as defined in section 2.2 of RFC 7001
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7001#section-2.2>.

Does what I have look right?
Do you have a better pattern in your DKIM setup?
Or a better way of removing the Authentication-Results header *if and only
if* it's from an untrusted source *and* is using one of your AuthservIDs?

Cheers,
Mike B-)
