Bug#526819: exim4-daemon-light: claims to support TLS but doesn't recognise hosts_require_tls option on smtp transport
Dafydd Harries
Version: 4.69-9
Severity: normal
Older versions of exim4-daemon-light supported the hosts_require_tls option on
the smtp transport. After upgrading exim recently, it stopped recognising this
option:
2008-11-13 12:20:26 Exim configuration error in line 213 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
main option "hosts_require_tls" unknown
Hence, my mail configuration stopped working. Either exim4-daemon-light should
support this option, or the package description should make it clear that it
doesn't have full TLS support.

Hello,
From the error message this sounds like the respective line is placed
the wrong section of the configuration file, with the main options
instead of as a setting for the respective transport.
At least that is the case for me.

Here's the entire transport stanza:
remote_smtp_smarthost:
debug_print = "T: remote_smtp_smarthost for $local_part@$domain"
driver = smtp
port = 2525
hosts_require_tls = mild.rhydd.org
hosts_try_auth = <; ${if exists{CONFDIR/passwd.client} \
{\
${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$host_address}}\
}\
{} \
}
.ifdef REMOTE_SMTP_SMARTHOST_HOSTS_AVOID_TLS
hosts_avoid_tls = REMOTE_SMTP_SMARTHOST_HOSTS_AVOID_TLS
.endif
.ifdef REMOTE_SMTP_HEADERS_REWRITE
headers_rewrite = REMOTE_SMTP_HEADERS_REWRITE
.endif
.ifdef REMOTE_SMTP_RETURN_PATH
return_path = REMOTE_SMTP_RETURN_PATH
.endif
.ifdef REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_FROM_DNS
helo_data=REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA
.endif
IIRC, only the port and the hosts_require_tls lines were added over the default
version of transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost.

I think the transport is fine, but I also think you have got a second
"hosts_require_tls" setting somewhere else. "line 213" is far away
from the tranport setting. Please take a look at
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp and
grep -r "hosts_require_tls" /etc/exim4/
Thanks, cu andreas

Have you doublechecked yet?

I checked. hosts_require_tls appears twice, both times in a transport stanza
(once for remote_smtp and once for remote_smtp_smarthost).
I don't think I changed the configuration in between changing which version of
Exim I had installed.

Hello,
sorry for ignoring this bug for a long time. I am still convinced that
there is something broken with the configuration. Is there any
possibilty I could see the whole /etc/exim4 tree (sans
/etc/exim4/*passwd*')?
