.SH NAME
|

exim_checkaccess \- Check address acceptance from given IP
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B exim_checkaccess
|
|
.I IP-address email@address [more Exim options]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B Exim's
|
|
.I \-bh
|
|
command line argument allows you to run a fake SMTP session with debugging
|
|
output, in order to check what Exim is doing when it is applying policy
|
|
controls to incoming SMTP mail.
|
|
However, not everybody is sufficiently familiar with the SMTP protocol to
|
|
be able to make full use of \-bh, and sometimes you just want to answer the
|
|
question \(lqDoes this address have access?\(rq without bothering with any
|
|
further details.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B exim_checkaccess
|
|
utility is a \(oqpackaged\(cq version of
|
|
.I \-bh.
|
|
It takes two arguments, an IP address and an email address:
|
|
|
|
exim_checkaccess 10.9.8.7 A.User@a.domain.example
|
|
|
|
The utility runs a call to
|
|
.B Exim
|
|
with the \-bh option, to test whether the given email address would be
|
|
accepted in a RCPT command in a TCP/IP connection from the host with the
|
|
given IP address.
|
|
The output of the utility is either the word \(oqaccepted\(cq, or the SMTP error
|
|
response, for example:
|
|
|
|
Rejected:
|
|
550 Relay not permitted
|
|
|
|
When running this test, the utility uses \(lq<>\(rq as the envelope sender
|
|
address for the MAIL command, but you can change this by providing additional
|
|
options. These are passed directly to the Exim command.
|
|
For example, to specify that the test is to be run with the sender address
|
|
\(lqhimself@there.example\(rq you can use:
|
|
|
|
exim_checkaccess 10.9.8.7 A.User@a.domain.example \\
|
|
\-f himself@there.example
|
|
|
|
Note that these additional Exim command line items must be given after the
|
|
two mandatory arguments.
