during routing, so you can query the verdicts by recipient
at that stage. From Exims view, a verdict can have the
following outcomes:
-
+
o deliver the message normally
o deliver the message to an alternate location
o do not deliver the message
-
+
To query the verdict for a recipient, the implementation
offers the following tools:
-
-
+
+
- Boolean router preconditions. These can be used in any
router. For a simple implementation of BMI, these may be
all that you need. The following preconditions are
available:
-
+
o bmi_deliver_default
-
+
This precondition is TRUE if the verdict for the
recipient is to deliver the message normally. If the
message has not been processed by the BMI server, this
variable defaults to TRUE.
-
+
o bmi_deliver_alternate
-
+
This precondition is TRUE if the verdict for the
recipient is to deliver the message to an alternate
location. You can get the location string from the
$bmi_alt_location expansion variable if you need it. See
further below. If the message has not been processed by
the BMI server, this variable defaults to FALSE.
-
+
o bmi_dont_deliver
-
+
This precondition is TRUE if the verdict for the
recipient is NOT to deliver the message to the
recipient. You will typically use this precondition in a
top-level blackhole router, like this:
-
+
# don't deliver messages handled by the BMI server
bmi_blackhole:
driver = redirect
bmi_dont_deliver
data = :blackhole:
-
+
This router should be on top of all others, so messages
that should not be delivered do not reach other routers
at all. If the message has not been processed by
the BMI server, this variable defaults to FALSE.
-
-
+
+
- A list router precondition to query if rules "fired" on
the message for the recipient. Its name is "bmi_rule". You
use it by passing it a colon-separated list of rule
numbers. You can use this condition to route messages that
matched specific rules. Here is an example:
-
+
# special router for BMI rule #5, #8 and #11
bmi_rule_redirect:
driver = redirect
bmi_rule = 5:8:11
data = postmaster@mydomain.com
-
-
+
+
- Expansion variables. Several expansion variables are set
during routing. You can use them in custom router
conditions, for example. The following variables are
available:
-
+
o $bmi_base64_verdict
-
+
This variable will contain the BASE64 encoded verdict
for the recipient being routed. You can use it to add a
header to messages for tracking purposes, for example:
-
+
localuser:
driver = accept
check_local_user
headers_add = X-Brightmail-Verdict: $bmi_base64_verdict
transport = local_delivery
-
+
If there is no verdict available for the recipient being
routed, this variable contains the empty string.
-
+
o $bmi_base64_tracker_verdict
-
+
This variable will contain a BASE64 encoded subset of
the verdict information concerning the "rules" that
fired on the message. You can add this string to a
header, commonly named "X-Brightmail-Tracker". Example:
-
+
localuser:
driver = accept
check_local_user
headers_add = X-Brightmail-Tracker: $bmi_base64_tracker_verdict
