| 38_dkim_defaults.diff | DKIM: Do not oversign empty Sender, Resent-* and List-* headers This is minimal change to avoid bad settings, an optimal setting might look different.

| 40_0001-dovecot-handle-internal-failures.patch | dovecot: handle internal failures Since dovecot 2.4.3~85 commit 1bf90fc7a91f ("lib-auth-client: Add code=temp_fail to all internal failures"), dovecot may return additional fields on FAIL when a temporary error occurred during authentication. Sep 01 20:03:07 localhost exim[157621]: 157621 DOVECOT<< 'FAIL 1 user=7c6bx4@pants-off.xyz code=temp_fail' Sep 01 20:03:07 localhost exim[157621]: 157621 0 read but unreturned bytes; strcut() gave 4 results: {FAIL} {1} {user=7c6bx4@pants-off.xyz} {code=temp_fail} last is <null> This is useful for when database backing dovecot auth is unavailable. In the current state of exim not handling this use case, exim returns 535, indicating incorrect password. Sep 01 20:03:07 localhost exim[157621]: 157621 dovecot auth ret: FAIL Sep 01 20:03:07 localhost exim[157621]: 157621 SMTP>> 535 Incorrect authentication data This commit add support for handling "code=temp_fail" to instead return 435, indicating authentication is not available temporarily. Sep 01 20:32:05 localhost exim[167751]: 167751 dovecot auth ret: DEFER Sep 01 20:32:05 localhost exim[167751]: 167751 SMTP>> 435 Unable to authenticate at present |
