Bug#608886: exim4-config: REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA macro setting *still* ignored

[Rene Hertell]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.69-9+lenny1
Severity: important

It seems that the bug is still there, even if it's marked as done in the previous bug #514113.

/etc/exim4/config.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp
contains this clause:

.ifdef REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_FROM_DNS
 helo_data=REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA
.endif

and the file
/etc/exim4/config.d/transport/10_exim4-config_transport-macros
contains

.ifdef REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_FROM_DNS
 REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA=${lookup dnsdb {ptr=$sending_ip_address}{$value}{$primary_hostname}}
.endif

Because of this, there is now way i could specify a REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA = mail.foo.bar without messing around with the original
transport-macro..

To get a custom value into REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA there is needed an other logic in setting this value.. This following caluse in
/etc/exim4/config.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp would let me set a custom value to REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA

.ifdef REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA
 helo_data=REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA
.endif
