Configure Exim to Send Email From a Subaccount

Mustafa Chapal
Hi, I am using Mandrill for specific domains to send email and I have configured Section: AUTH, Section: PREROUTERS and Section: TRANSPORTSTART. Everything is working fine except if I want to send email using the Mandrill subaccount. For that I have added the following line to Section: TRANSPORTSTART but specifically sending email using the subaccount is not working. headers_add = "X-MC-Subaccount: $original_local_part@$original_domain\n" I would appreciate the help. Thanks

    Hello @Mustafa Chapal, Can you provide some more information about what in-specific isn't working when attempting to send out the email? Also, can you post the output from /var/log/exim_mainlog for the affected message, in addition to the specific entries you are using to customize Exim in each configuration section? Thank you.

    Hi Michael, I want to add/set a header to emails with the following tag in such a way that it brings in the sender domain or sender account username. headers_add = "X-MC-Subaccount: domainname" OR headers_add = "X-MC-Subaccount: accountusername" To achieve the above I tried setting the following line but then the emails stopped sending. headers_add = "X-MC-Subaccount: $original_local_part@$original_domain\n" Following is the exim log output: 2018-11-04 04:51:00 SMTP connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:56086 (TCP/IP connection count = 2) 2018-11-04 04:51:04 SMTP connection from [::1]:51790 (TCP/IP connection count = 3) 2018-11-04 04:51:05 1gJ5h3-0007Ww-EH H=(example.net) [::1]:51790 Warning: Message has been scanned: no virus or other harmful content was found 2018-11-04 04:51:05 1gJ5h3-0007Ww-EH <= someusr@example.com H=(example.net) [::1]:51790 P=esmtpa A=dovecot_login:someusr@example.com S=566 id=7dbbdde998feefdc2eaeb36a94894ff1@example.com T="test6" for someusr@gmail.com 2018-11-04 04:51:05 SMTP connection from (example.net) [::1]:51790 closed by QUIT 2018-11-04 04:51:05 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1gJ5h3-0007Ww-EH 2018-11-04 04:51:06 1gJ5h3-0007Ww-EH [54.255.xxx.x] SSL verify error: certificate name mismatch: DN="/C=US/ST=Georgia/L=Atlanta/O=blahblahblah/OU=Product Dev/CN=mandrillapp.com" H="smtp.ap-southeast-1.mandrillapp.com" 2018-11-04 04:51:06 1gJ5h3-0007Ww-EH => someusr@gmail.com R=smart_route T=auth_relay H=smtp.ap-southeast-1.mandrillapp.com [54.255.xxx.x] X=TLSv1.2:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:256 CV=no A=auth_login C="250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 109912420F1" 2018-11-04 04:51:06 1gJ5h3-0007Ww-EH Completed 2018-11-04 04:51:10 TLS error on connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:56086 (SSL_accept): error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) 2018-11-04 04:51:10 SMTP connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:56657 (TCP/IP connection count = 2) 2018-11-04 04:51:12 SMTP connection from [37.49.xxx.xx]:62826 lost D=15s 2018-11-04 04:51:16 SMTP connection from [37.49.xxx.xx]:54917 (TCP/IP connection count = 2) 2018-11-04 04:51:16 no host name found for IP address 37.49.xxx.xx 2018-11-04 04:51:21 TLS error on connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:56657 (SSL_accept): error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) 2018-11-04 04:51:21 SMTP connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:57163 (TCP/IP connection count = 2) 2018-11-04 04:51:24 SMTP connection from [23.111.xxx.xx]:50638 (TCP/IP connection count = 3) 2018-11-04 04:51:31 SMTP connection from [37.49.xxx.xx]:54917 lost D=15s 2018-11-04 04:51:32 TLS error on connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:57163 (SSL_accept): error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) 2018-11-04 04:51:32 SMTP connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:57642 (TCP/IP connection count = 2) 2018-11-04 04:51:39 SMTP connection from [127.0.0.1]:40130 (TCP/IP connection count = 3) 2018-11-04 04:51:41 SMTP connection from [127.0.0.1]:40130 closed by QUIT 2018-11-04 04:51:42 TLS error on connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:57642 (SSL_accept): error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) 2018-11-04 04:51:43 SMTP connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:58140 (TCP/IP connection count = 2) 2018-11-04 04:51:44 SMTP connection from s4005.pingdom.com (s4005) [23.111.xxx.xx]:50638 closed by QUIT 2018-11-04 04:51:53 TLS error on connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:58140 (SSL_accept): error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) 2018-11-04 04:51:53 SMTP connection from [172.93.xxx.xxx]:58629 (TCP/IP connection count = 1)

    Hello @Mustafa Chapal, You may also want to review /var/log/exim_paniclog to see if any additional output appears when testing the custom Exim configuration. Keep in mind this level of customization is unsupported. If you're unable to determine the cause of the issue, I recommend reaching out to Mandrill for direct assistance. If they are unable to help, you can find a list of system administration service providers at: System Administration Services | cPanel Forums The Exim User's mailing list is an additional resource to use: Exim-users Info Page Let us know what you find. Thank you.
