Dear exim & dovecot users,
posting on both mailing lists as I am not sure who has the ultimate
responsability for this field.
I am trying to set up a mail server for multiple domains in my VPS. So I
managed to set up the authentication through a dovecot authenticator,
which relies to a sqlite database. I would like that, from the database
perspective, a query has, as input parameters, both the username and the
domain to check the password.
For this purpose, I am requesting that the SMTP account is in the full
form username@???. When forwarded to the dovecot authenticator, I
can extract the user with %n and %d. This works, but it has a utter
drawback: emails are sent repeating twice the domain in the Return-Path
field, e.g. :
Return-Path: <"user@???>
Subject: Re: Hello
To: nuquaquaraqua@???
From: user <user@???>
How do I properly fix the field Return-Path now?
dovecot --version: 2.2.25 (7be1766)

# Runtime configuration file for Exim #
######################################################################
# This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in
# uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list
# of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a
# configuration file. There are many more than are mentioned here. The
# manual is in the file doc/spec.txt in the Exim distribution as a plain
# ASCII file. Other formats (PostScript, Texinfo, HTML, PDF) are available
# from the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online at the Exim web sites.
# This file is divided into several parts, all but the first of which are
# headed by a line starting with the word "begin". Only those parts that
# are required need to be present. Blank lines, and lines starting with #
# are ignored.
########### IMPORTANT ########## IMPORTANT ########### IMPORTANT ###########
# #
# Whenever you change Exim's configuration file, you *must* remember to #
# HUP the Exim daemon, because it will not pick up the new configuration #
# until you do. However, any other Exim processes that are started, for #
# example, a process started by an MUA in order to send a message, will #
# see the new configuration as soon as it is in place. #
# #
# You do not need to HUP the daemon for changes in auxiliary files that #
# are referenced from this file. They are read every time they are used. #
# #
# It is usually a good idea to test a new configuration for syntactic #
# correctness before installing it (for example, by running the command #
# "exim -C /config/file.new -bV"). #

# 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 = domain.net
# 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 = @ : domain.net
domainlist relay_to_domains =
hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost
# (We rely upon hostname resolution working for localhost, because the default
# uncommented configuration needs to work in IPv4-only environments.)
# 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 Lists (ACLs) which appear 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 ; ::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. Often, connections are made to "localhost", which might be ::1
# on IPv6-enabled hosts. Do not forget CIDR for your IPv6 networks.
# 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 lists for
# checking incoming messages. The names of these ACLs are defined here:
acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data
# You should not change those settings until you understand how ACLs work.
# If you are running a version of Exim that was compiled with the content-
# scanning extension, you can cause incoming messages to be automatically
# scanned for viruses. You have to modify the configuration in two places to
# set this up. The first of them is here, where you define the interface to
# your scanner. This example is typical for ClamAV; see the manual for details
# of what to set for other virus scanners. The second modification is in the
# acl_check_data access control list (see below).
# av_scanner = clamd:/tmp/clamd
# For spam scanning, there is a similar option that defines the interface to
# SpamAssassin. You do not need to set this if you are using the default, which
# is shown in this commented example. As for virus scanning, you must also
# modify the acl_check_data access control list to enable spam scanning.
# spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783
# If Exim is compiled with support for TLS, you may want to enable the
# following options so that Exim allows clients to make encrypted
# connections. In the authenticators section below, there are template
# configurations for plaintext username/password authentication. This kind
# of authentication is only safe when used within a TLS connection, so the
# authenticators will only work if the following TLS settings are turned on
# as well.
# Allow any client to use TLS.
tls_advertise_hosts = *
# Specify the location of the Exim server's TLS certificate and private key.

# options.

# In order to support roaming users who wish to send email from anywhere,
# you may want to make Exim listen on other ports as well as port 25, in
# case these users need to send email from a network that blocks port 25.
# The standard port for this purpose is port 587, the "message submission"
# port. See RFC 4409 for details. Microsoft MUAs cannot be configured to
# talk the message submission protocol correctly, so if you need to support
# them you should also allow TLS-on-connect on the traditional but

# 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.

# 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.

# 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 users specified by
# never_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

# 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 SMTP sessions.

# 0, 1, ... A, B, ... a, b, ... z. This has two benefits: (1) If your file

# 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. The line "domains = +local_domains" restricts it to domains that are
# defined by the "domainlist local_domains" setting above. The rule blocks
# local parts that begin with a dot or contain @ % ! / or |. If you have
# local accounts that include these characters, you will have to modify this
# rule.

# The second rule applies to all other domains, and is less strict. The line
# "domains = !+local_domains" restricts it to domains that are NOT defined by
# the "domainlist local_domains" setting above. The exclamation mark is a
# negating operator. This rule 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

begin routers
# 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
# domains = ! +local_domains
# transport = remote_smtp
# This router routes addresses that are not in local domains by doing a DNS
# lookup on the domain name. The exclamation mark that appears in "domains = !
# +local_domains" is a negating operator, that is, it can be read as "not". The
# recipient's domain must not be one of those defined by "domainlist
# local_domains" above for this router to be used.
#
# If the router is used, 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 alternative router can be used when you want to send all mail to a
# server which handles DNS lookups for you; an ISP will typically run such
# a server for their customers. If you uncomment "smarthost" then you

# The remaining routers handle addresses in the local domain(s), that is those
# domains that are defined by "domainlist local_domains" above.
# This router handles aliasing using a linearly searched alias file with the
# name /etc/mail/aliases. 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/mail/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 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.

begin retry
# This single retry rule applies to all domains and all errors. It specifies
# retries every 15 minutes for 2 hours, then increasing retry intervals,
# starting at 1 hour and increasing each time by a factor of 1.5, up to 16
# hours, then retries every 6 hours until 4 days have passed since the first
# failed delivery.
# WARNING: If you do not have any retry rules at all (this section of the
# configuration is non-existent or empty), Exim will not do any retries of
# messages that fail to get delivered at the first attempt. The effect will
# be to treat temporary errors as permanent. Therefore, DO NOT remove this
# retry rule unless you really don't want any retries.
