Subject: postgrey: improve documentation for exim integration

Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 19:15:59 +0200

Package: postgrey
Version: 1.31-3.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

It would be nice to have README.exim explain things a bit more
straightforwardly. Basically, I had to do this on my system:

 1. create a file /etc/exim4/postgrey_acl_smtp_rcpt containing the following

# use postgrey to to greylisting
defer log_message = greylisted host $sender_host_address
     set acl_m0  = request=smtpd_access_policy\nprotocol_state=RCPT\nprotocol_name=${uc:$received_protocol}\nhelo_name=$sender_helo_name\nclient_address=$sender_host_address\nclient_name=$sender_host_name\nsender=$sender_address\nrecipient=$local_part@$___domain\ninstance=$sender_host_address/$sender_address/$local_part@$___domain\n\n
     set acl_m0  = ${sg{${readsocket{/var/run/postgrey}{$acl_m0}{5s}{}{action=DUNNO}}}{action=}{}}
     message     = ${sg{$acl_m0}{^\\w+\\s*}{}}
     condition   = ${if eq{${uc:${substr{0}{5}{$acl_m0}}}}{DEFER}{true}{false}}

warn message     = ${sg{$acl_m0}{^\\w+\\s*}{}}
     condition   = ${if eq{${uc:${substr{0}{7}{$acl_m0}}}}{PREPEND}{true}{false}}

 2. add CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_ACL_FILE=/etc/exim4/postgrey_acl_smtp_rcpt to
    /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/000_localmacros

 3. change /etc/default/postgrey to have the following options:
    POSTGREY_OPTS="--unix=/var/run/postgrey --exim"  

 4. Restart postgrey and exim4.

Just my 4¢,

cheers, piem

Was this change ever applied to the package?
