(See end of this section for an example.) -The option is expanded when used, so it can be a hostlist as well as -string of IP addresses. Since it is expanded, specifying an alternate -separator is supported for ease of use with IPv6 addresses. - -To log the IP of the proxy in the incoming logline, add: - log_selector = +proxy - -A default incoming logline (wrapped for appearance) will look like this: - - 2013-11-04 09:25:06 1VdNti-0001OY-1V <= me@example.net - H=mail.example.net [1.2.3.4] P=esmtp S=433 - -With the log selector enabled, an email that was proxied through a -Proxy Protocol server at 192.168.1.2 will look like this: - - 2013-11-04 09:25:06 1VdNti-0001OY-1V <= me@example.net - H=mail.example.net [1.2.3.4] P=esmtp PRX=192.168.1.2 S=433 - -3.

Recommended ACL additions: - - Since the real connections are all coming from your proxy, and the - per host connection tracking is done before Proxy Protocol is - evaluated, smtp_accept_max_per_host must be set high enough to - handle all of the parallel volume you expect per inbound proxy. - - With the smtp_accept_max_per_host set so high, you lose the ability - to protect your server from massive numbers of inbound connections - from one IP. In order to prevent your server from being DOS'd, you - need to add a per connection ratelimit to your connect ACL. I - suggest something like this: - - # Set max number of connections per host - LIMIT = 5 - # Or do some kind of IP lookup in a flat file or database - # LIMIT = ${lookup{$sender_host_address}iplsearch{/etc/exim/proxy_limits}} - - defer message = Too many connections from this IP right now - ratelimit = LIMIT / 5s / per_conn / strict - - -5.

If the sending host - sent any input (before the banner), this causes a standard Exim - synchronization error (i.e. trying to pipeline before PIPELINING - was advertised). - - This is not advised, but is mentioned for completeness if you have - a specific internal configuration that you want this: If the Exim - server only has an internal IP address and no other machines in your - organization will connect to it to try to send email, you may - simply set the hostlist to "*", however, this will prevent local - mail programs from working because that would require mail from - localhost to use Proxy Protocol.
