Summary: ACL drop should allow a 421 response
Product: Exim
Version: 4.68
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: wishlist
Priority: medium
Component: ACLs
AssignedTo: ph10@hermes.cam.ac.uk

A patch to special-case drop to allow a user-specified 421 code
In an ACL, we may want to drop the connection with a 421 status. While 'defer'
from the connect ACL does just what we want, there is no way to do it in other
ACLs. This does not work:
drop message = 421 Try again later
Since the default response for a drop is usually 550, exim logs the following
error and ignores the specified 421:
configured error code starts with incorrect digit (expected 5) in "421 Try
again later"
I've attached a patch that simply special-cases 421 when the message is being
dropped in smtp_handle_acl_fail(). Alternatives would be to add a whole new
verb, or a control modifier to close the connection after any verb (thereby
making 'drop' redundant to 'deny' with this new modifier).
