Hello,

Disclaimer : I'm rather new to Exim.

My problem has to do with Exim's rate-limit database. For an unknown reason I cannot display its content. The following command runs successfully but returns nothing :

 exim_dumpdb /var/spool/exim4 ratelimit

I can successfully display the content of the retry or wait-remote_smtp databases.

Here is how I configured Exim for my tests.

First I have a file listing all the ratelimit "overrides" (default is 200/24h), in there I set this :

 test_user        2 / 24h  / per_addr / strict / $acl_c_auth_id_short

In my Exim configuration :

 set acl_c_auth_id_short = ${sg{$authenticated_id}{\N\@unilim\.fr$\N}{}}

After that, I trigger successfully this low ratelimit. Excerpt from the logs :

[...] A=plain_saslauthd_server:test_u...@unilim.fr rejected RCPT <simon.de-ma...@unilim.fr>: Error : Recipient rate (auth-rcpt-limit.db) : 2.9 exceeds 2 per 24h for uid test_user

And still nothing is returned when running the exim_dumpdb command.

Am I missing something ? I couldn't find anything in the list archives or on the Internet about a bug or a similar problem.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Best regards,
