### acl/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt ################################# # This access control list is used for every RCPT command in an incoming # SMTP message. The tests are run in order until the address is either # accepted or denied. # acl_check_rcpt: # Accept if the source is local SMTP (i.e. not over TCP/IP). We do this by # testing for an empty sending host field. accept hosts = : # The following section of the ACL is concerned with local parts that contain # certain non-alphanumeric characters. Dots in unusual places are # handled by this ACL as well. # # Non-alphanumeric 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 disallow certain non-alphanumeric characters, 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 # a name without a 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. # # These ACL components will block recipient addresses that are valid # from an RFC2822 point of view. We chose to have them blocked by # default for security reasons. # # If you feel that your site should have less strict recipient # checking, please feel free to change the default values of the macros # defined in main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs or override them from a # local configuration file. # # Two different rules are used. The first one has a quite strict # default, and is applied to messages that are addressed to one of the # local domains handled by this host. # The default value of CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS is defined in # main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs: # CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS = ^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|`#&?] # This blocks local parts that begin with a dot or contain a quite # broad range of non-alphanumeric characters. .ifdef CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS deny domains = +local_domains : +unix_domains local_parts = CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS message = restricted characters in address .endif # The second rule applies to all other domains, and its default is # considerably less strict. # The default value of CHECK_RCPT_REMOTE_LOCALPARTS is defined in # main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs: # CHECK_RCPT_REMOTE_LOCALPARTS = ^[./|] : ^.*[@%!`#&?] : ^.*/\\.\\./ # It allows local 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 some other non-alphanumeric characters is blocked. # Single quotes might probably be dangerous as well, but they're # allowed by the default regexps to avoid rejecting mails to Ireland. # The motivation here is to prevent local users (or local users' malware) # from mounting certain kinds of attack on remote sites. .ifdef CHECK_RCPT_REMOTE_LOCALPARTS deny domains = !+local_domains : !+unix_domains local_parts = CHECK_RCPT_REMOTE_LOCALPARTS message = restricted characters in address .endif # Accept mail to postmaster in any local domain, regardless of the source, # and without verifying the sender. # accept .ifndef CHECK_RCPT_POSTMASTER local_parts = postmaster .else local_parts = CHECK_RCPT_POSTMASTER .endif domains = +local_domains : +unix_domains : +relay_to_domains # Deny unless the sender address can be verified. # # This is disabled by default so that DNSless systems don't break.
