Exim and Cpanel
RedHat Enterprise 3 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0
The exim.conf file contains the following directive and comment:
# If you want to accept mail addressed to your host's literal IP address, for
# example, mail addressed to "user@[111.111.111.111]", then uncomment the
# following line, or supply the literal domain(s) as part of "local_domains"
# above.
# local_domains_include_host_literals
# If you want to accept mail addressed to your host's literal IP address, for
# example, mail addressed to "user@[111.111.111.111]", then uncomment the
# following line, or supply the literal domain(s) as part of "local_domains"
# above.
# local_domains_include_host_literals
When I uncomment the above line and restart exim (service exim restart), I receive the following error:
Exim configuration error in line 130 of /etc/exim.conf:
main option "local_domains_include_host_literals" unknown
main option "local_domains_include_host_literals" unknown
If so, it's a clear breach of RFC1123 5.2.17:
From:
http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/1123/102.htm
5.2.17 Domain Literals: RFC-822 Section 6.2.3
A mailer MUST be able to accept and parse an Internet domain literal whose content ("dtext"; see RFC-822) is a dotted- decimal host address. This satisfies the requirement of Section 2.1 for the case of mail.
An SMTP MUST accept and recognize a domain literal for any of its own IP addresses
