1This document describes *changes* to previous versions, that might
2affect Exim's operation, with an unchanged configuration file.  For new
3options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog.
4
5JH/05 Bug 2819: speed up command-line messages being read in.  Previously a
6      time check was being done for every character; replace that with one
7      per buffer.
8
9JH/10 Convert all uses of select() to poll().  FreeBSD 12.2 was found to be
10      handing out large-numbered file descriptors, violating the usual Unix
11      assumption (and required by Posix) that the lowest possible number will be
12      allocated by the kernel when a new one is needed.  In the daemon, and any
13      child procesees, values higher than 1024 (being bigger than FD_SETSIZE)
14      are not useable for FD_SET() [and hence select()] and overwrite the stack.
15      Assorted crashes happen.
16
17JH/12 Bug 2838: Fix for i32lp64 hard-align platforms. Found for SPARC Linux,
18      though only once PCRE2 was introduced: the memory accounting used under
19      debug offset allocations by an int, giving a hard trap in early startup.
20      Change to using a size_t.  Debug and fix by John Paul Adrian Glaubitz.
21
22
23Exim version 4.95
24-----------------
25
26JH/01 Bug 1329: Fix format of Maildir-format filenames to match other mail-
27      related applications.  Previously an "H" was used where available info
28      says that "M" should be, so change to match.
29
30JH/02 Bug 2587: Fix pam expansion condition.  Tainted values are commonly used
31      as arguments, so an implementation trying to copy these into a local
32      buffer was taking a taint-enforcement trap.  Fix by using dynamically
33      created buffers.  Similar fix for radius expansion condition.
34
35JH/03 Bug 2586: Fix listcount expansion operator.  Using tainted arguments is
36      reasonable, eg. to count headers.  Fix by using dynamically created
37      buffers rather than a local.  Do similar fixes for ACL actions "dcc",
38      "log_reject_target", "malware" and "spam"; the arguments are expanded
39      so could be handling tainted values.
40
41JH/04 Bug 2590: Fix -bi (newaliases).  A previous code rearrangement had
42      broken the (no-op) support for this sendmail command.  Restore it
43      to doing nothing, silently, and returning good status.
44
45JH/05 Bug 2593: Fix "vacation" in Exim filter.  Previously, when a "once"
46      record path was given (or the default used) without a leading directory
47      path, an error occurred on trying to open it.  Use the transport's working
48      directory.
49
50JH/06 Bug 2594: Change the name used for certificate name checks in the smtp
51      transport.  Previously it was the name on the DNS A-record; use instead
52      the head of the CNAME chain leading there (if there is one).  This seems
53      to align better with RFC 6125.
54
55JH/07 Bug 2597: Fix a resource leak.  Using a lookup in obtaining a value for
56      smtp_accept_max_per_host allocated resources which were not released
57      when the limit was exceeded.  This eventually crashed the daemon.  Fix
58      by adding a release action in that path.
59
60JH/08 Bug 2598: Fix verify ACL condition.  The options for the condition are
61      expanded; previously using tainted values was rejected.  Fix by using
62      dynamically-created buffers.
63
64JH/09 Relax restrictions on ACL verify condition needing access to message
65      headers.  Previously they were only permitted in data and non-smtp ACLs;
66      permit also mime, dkim, prdr quit and notquit.  Applies to header-syntax,
67      not_blind, header_sender and header_names_ascii verification.
68
69JH/10 Bug 2603: Fix coding of string copying to only evaluate arguments once.
70      Previously a macro used one argument twice; when called with the
71      argument as an expression having side-effects, incorrect operation
72      resulted.  Use an inlineable function.
73
74JH/11 Bug 2604: Fix request to cutthrough-deliver when a connection is already
75      held open for a verify callout.  Previously this wan not accounted for
76      and a corrupt onward SMTP conversation resulted.
77
78JH/12 Bug 2607: Fix the ${srs_encode } expansion to handle quoted local_parts.
79      Previously they were embedded naively in the constructed address; when
80      needed, strip the quoting and quote the entire local_part.
81      Also make the inbound_srs expansion condition handle quoting.
82
83JH/13 Fix dsearch "subdir" filter to ignore ".".  Previously only ".." was
84      excluded, not matching the documentation.
85
86JH/14 Bug 2606: Fix a segfault in sqlite lookups.  When no, or a bad, filename
87      was given for the sqlite_dbfile a trap resulted.
88
89JH/15 Bug 2620: Fix "spam" ACL condition.  Previously, tainted values for the
90      "name" argument resulted in a trap.  There is no reason to disallow such;
91      this was a coding error.
92
93JH/16 Bug 2615: Fix pause during message reception, on systems that have been
94      suspended/resumed.  The Linux CLOCK_MONOTONIC does not account for time
95      spent suspended, ignoring the POSIX definition.  Previously we assumed
96      it did and a constant offset from real time could be used as a correction.
97      Change to using the same clock source for the start-of-message and the
98      post-message next-tick-wait.  Also change to using CLOCK_BOOTTIME if it
99      exists, just to get a clock slightly more aligned to reality.
100
101JH/17 Bug 2295: Fix DKIM signing to always semicolon-terminate.  Although the
102      RFC says it is optional some validators care.  The missing char was not
103      intended but triggered by a line-wrap alignment.  Discovery and fix by
104      Guillaume Outters, hacked on by JH.
105
106JH/18 Bug 2617: Fix a taint trap in parse_fix_phrase().  Previously when the
107      name being quoted was tainted a trap would be taken.  Fix by using
108      dynamically created buffers.  The routine could have been called by a
109      rewrite with the "h" flag, by using the "-F" command-line option, or
110      by using a "name=" option on a control=submission ACL modifier.
111
112JH/19 SPF: change the Authentication-Results expansion component to give
113      smtp.helo when the sender domain is empty.  Previously it gave
114      "smtp.mailfrom=<>"
115
116JH/20 Bug 2631: ACL dnslist conditions now ignore and log any lookups returns
117      not in 127.0.0.0/8 to help in spotting list domains taken over by a
118      domain-parking registrar.
119
120JH/21 Bug 2630: Fix eol-replacement string for the ${readsocket } expansion.
121      Previously when a whitespace character was specified it was not inserted
122      after removing the newline.
123
124JH/22 Bug 2265: Force SNI usage for smtp transport DANE'd connections, to be
125      the domain part of the recipient address.  This overrides any tls_sni
126      option set, which was previously used.
127
128JH/23 Logging: with the +tls_sni log_selector, do not wrap the received SNI
129      in quotes.
130
131JH/24 Bug 2634: Fix a taint trap seen on NetBSD: the testing coded for
132      is_tainted() had an off-by-one error in the overenthusiastic direction.
133      Find and fix by Gavan.  Although NetBSD is not a supported platform for
134      4.94 this bug could affect other platforms.
135
136PP/01 Fix default prime selection to be consistent.
137      One path used ike23 still, instead of exim.dev.20160529.3; now both
138      execution flows will use the same DH primes (currently
139      exim.dev.20160529.3).
140
141JH/25 OpenSSL: Fix back-compatibility behaviour surrounding tls_certificates
142      option in smtp transport, to match the documentation.  Previously
143      verification was not being done in some cases where it should have been.
144
145JH/26 Bug 2646: fix a memory usage issue in ldap lookups.  Previously, when more
146      than one server was defined and depending on the platform memory layout
147      details, an internal consistency trap could be hit while walking the list
148      of servers.
149
150JH/27 Bug 2648: fix the passing of an authenticator public-name through spool
151      files.  The value is used by the authresults expansion item.  Previously
152      if this was used in a router or transport, a crash could result.
153
154JH/28 Fix spurious logging of select error.  Some platforms, notably FreeBSD,
155      have a sufficient incidence of EINTR returns from select that an
156      interaction with other operations done by the main daemon loop exposed
157      a bug in the error-handling.  This was benign apart from the log
158      messages.
159
160JH/29 Bug 2675: add outgoing-interface I= element to deferred "==" log lines,
161      for consistency with delivered "=>" and failed "**" lines.  While we're
162      there, handle PRX and TFO.
163
164JH/30 Bug 2677: fix matching of long addresses. Since 4.93 a limit of 256 was
165      applied. This resulted, if any header-line rewrite rules were configured,
166      in a panic-log triggerable by sending a message with a long address in
167      a header.	Fix by increasing the arbitrary limit to larger than a single
168      (dewrapped) 5322 header line maximum size.
169
170JH/31 The ESMTP option name advertised for the SUPPORT_EARLY_PIPE build option
171      is changed from X_PIPE_CONNECT to PIPE_CONNECT. This is in line with
172      RFC 6648 which deprecates X- options in protocols as a general practice.
173      Changeover between the implementations is handled by the mechanisms
174      already coded.
175
176JH/32 Bug 2599: fix delay of delivery to a local address where there is also
177      a remote which uses callout/hold.  Previously the local was queued.
178
179JH/33 Fix a taint trap in the ${listextract } expansion when the source data
180      was tainted.
181
182JH/34 Fix the placement of a multiple-message delivery marker in the delivery
183      log line. The asterisk is now consistently appended to the remote IP
184      (and port, if given), and will also be provided on defer and fail log
185      lines.  Previously it could be placed on the local IP if that was being
186      logged, and was only provided on delivery lines.
187
188JH/35 Bug 2343: Harden exim_tidydb against corrupt wait- files.
189
190JH/36 Bug 2687: Fix interpretation of multiple ^ chars in a plaintext
191      authenticator client_send option.  Previously the next char, after a pair
192      was collapsed, was taken verbatim (so ^^^foo became ^^foo; ^^^^foo became
193      ^^\x00foo). Fixed to get ^\x00foo and ^^foo respectively to match the
194      documentation.  There is still no way to get a leading ^ immediately
195      after a NUL (ie. for the password of a PLAIN method authenticator.
196
197JH/37 Enforce the expected size, for fixed-size records read from hints-DB
198      files.  For bad sizes read, delete the record and whine to paniclog.
199
200JH/38 When logging an AUTH failure, as server, do not include sensitive
201      information. Previously, the credentials would be included if given
202      as part of the AUTH command line and an ACL denied authentication.
203
204JH/39 Bug 2691: fix $local_part_data.  When the matching list element
205      referred to a file, bad data was returned.  This likely also affected
206      $domain_part_data.
207
208JH/40 The gsasl authenticator now supports caching of the salted password
209      generated by the client-side implementation.  This required the addition
210      of a new variable: $auth4.
211
212JH/41 Fix daemon SIGHUP on FreeBSD.  Previously, a named socket for IPC was
213      left undeleted; the attempt to re-create it then failed - resulting in
214      the usual "SIGHUP tp have daemon reload configuration" to not work.
215      This affected any platform not supporting "abstract" Unix-domain
216      sockets (i.e. not Linux).
217
218JH/42 Bug 2693: Harden against a peer which reneges on a 452 "too many
219      recipients" response to RCPT in a later response, with a 250.  The
220      previous coding assumed this would not happen, and under PIPELINING
221      would result in both lost and duplicate recipients for a message.
222
223JH/43 Bug 2694: Fix weighted distribution of work to multiple spamd servers.
224      Previously the weighting was incorrectly applied.  Similar fix for socks
225      proxies.  Found and fixed by Heiko Schlichting.
226
227JH/44 Bug 2701: Fix list-expansion of dns_ipv4_lookup.  Previously, it did
228      not handle sub-lists included using the +namedlist syntax.  While
229      investigating, the same found for dns_trust_aa, dns_again_means_nonexist,
230      dnssec_require_domains, dnssec_request_domains, srv_fail_domains,
231      mx_fail_domains.
232
233JH/45 Use a (new) separate store pool-pair for DKIM verify working data.
234      Previously the permanent pool was used, so the sore could not be freed.
235      This meant a connection with many messages would use continually-growing
236      memory.
237
238JH/46 Use an exponentially-increasing block size when malloc'ing store.  Do it
239      per-pool so as not to waste too much space.  Previously a constant size
240      was used which resulted in O(n^2) behaviour; now we get O(n log n) making
241      DOS attacks harder.  The cost is wasted memory use in the larger blocks.
242
243JH/47 Use explicit alloc/free for DNS lookup workspace.  This permits using the
244      same space repeatedly, and a smaller process footprint.
245
246JH/48 Use a less bogus-looking filename for a temporary used for DH-parameters
247      for GnuTLS.  Previously the name started "%s" which, while not a bug,
248      looked as if if might be one.
249
250JH/49 Bug 2710: when using SOCKS for additional messages after the first (a
251      "continued connection") make the $proxy_* variables available.  Previously
252      the information was not passed across the exec() call for subsequent
253      transport executions.  This also mean that the log lines for the
254      messages can show the proxy information.
255
256JH/50 Bug 2672: QT elements in log lines, unless disabled, now exclude the
257      receive time.  With modern systems the difference is significant.
258      The historical behaviour can be restored by disabling (a new) log_selector
259      "queue_time_exclusive".
260
261JH/51 Taint-check ACL line.  Previously, only filenames (for out-of-line ACL
262      content) were specifically tested for.  Now, also cover expansions
263      resulting in ACL names and inline ACL content.
264
265JH/52 Fix ${ip6norm:} operator.  Previously, any trailing line text was dropped,
266      making it unusable in complex expressions.
267
268JH/53 Bug 2743: fix immediate-delivery via named queue.  Previously this would
269      fail with a taint-check on the spoolfile name, and leave the message
270      queued.
271
272HS/01 Enforce absolute PID file path name.
273
274HS/02 Handle SIGINT as we handle SIGTERM: terminate the Exim process.
275
276PP/01 Add a too-many-bad-recipients guard to the default config's RCPT ACL.
277
278PP/02 Bug 2643: Correct TLS DH constants.
279      A missing NUL termination in our code-generation tool had led to some
280      incorrect Diffie-Hellman constants in the Exim source.
281      Reported by kylon94, code-gen tool fix by Simon Arlott.
282
283PP/03 Impose security length checks on various command-line options.
284      Fixes CVE-2020-SPRSS reported by Qualys.
285
286PP/04 Fix Linux security issue CVE-2020-SLCWD and guard against PATH_MAX
287      better.  Reported by Qualys.
288
289PP/05 Fix security issue CVE-2020-PFPSN and guard against cmdline invoker
290      providing a particularly obnoxious sender full name.
291      Reported by Qualys.
292
293PP/06 Fix CVE-2020-28016 (PFPZA): Heap out-of-bounds write in parse_fix_phrase()
294
295PP/07 Refuse to allocate too little memory, block negative/zero allocations.
296      Security guard.
297
298PP/08 Change default for recipients_max from unlimited to 50,000.
299
300PP/09 Fix security issue with too many recipients on a message (to remove a
301      known security problem if someone does set recipients_max to unlimited,
302      or if local additions add to the recipient list).
303      Fixes CVE-2020-RCPTL reported by Qualys.
304
305PP/10 Fix security issue in SMTP verb option parsing
306      Fixes CVE-2020-EXOPT reported by Qualys.
307
308PP/11 Fix security issue in BDAT state confusion.
309      Ensure we reset known-good where we know we need to not be reading BDAT
310      data, as a general case fix, and move the places where we switch to BDAT
311      mode until after various protocol state checks.
312      Fixes CVE-2020-BDATA reported by Qualys.
313
314HS/03 Die on "/../" in msglog file names
315
316QS/01 Creation of (database) files in $spool_dir: only uid=0 or the uid of
317      the Exim runtime user are allowed to create files.
318
319QS/02 PID file creation/deletion: only possible if uid=0 or uid is the Exim
320      runtime user.
321
322QS/03 When reading the output from interpreted forward files we do not
323      pass the pipe between the parent and the interpreting process to
324      executed child processes (if any).
325
326QS/04 Always die if requested from internal logging, even is logging is
327      disabled.
328
329JH/54 DMARC: recent versions of the OpenDMARC library appear to have broken
330      the API; compilation noo longer completes with DMARC support included.
331      This affects 1.4.1-1 on Fedora 33 (1.3.2-3 is functional); and has
332      been reported on other platforms.
333
334JH/55 TLS: as server, reject connections with ALPN indicating non-smtp use.
335
336JH/56 Make the majority of info read from config files readonly, for defence-in-
337      depth against exploits.  Suggestion by Qualys.
338      Not supported on Solaris 10.
339
340JH/57 Fix control=fakreject for a custom message containing tainted data.
341      Previously this resulted in a log complaint, due to a re-expansion present
342      since fakereject was originally introduced.
343
344JH/58 GnuTLS: Fix certextract expansion.  If a second modifier after a tag
345      modifier was given, a loop resulted.
346
347JH/59 DKIM: Fix small-message verification under TLS with chunking. If a
348      pipelined SMTP command followed the BDAT LAST then it would be
349      incorrectly treated as part of the message body, causing a verification
350      fail.
351
352JH/60 Bug 2805: Fix logging of domain-literals in Message_ID: headers. They
353      require looser validation rules than those for 821-level addresses,
354      which only permit IP addresses.
355
356
357Exim version 4.94
358-----------------
359
360JH/01 Avoid costly startup code when not strictly needed.  This reduces time
361      for some exim process initialisations.  It does mean that the logging
362      of TLS configuration problems is only done for the daemon startup.
363
364JH/02 Early-pipelining support code is now included unless disabled in Makefile.
365
366JH/03 DKIM verification defaults no long accept sha1 hashes, to conform to
367      RFC 8301.  They can still be enabled, using the dkim_verify_hashes main
368      option.
369
370JH/04 Support CHUNKING from an smtp transport using a transport_filter, when
371      DKIM signing is being done.  Previously a transport_filter would always
372      disable CHUNKING, falling back to traditional DATA.
373
374JH/05 Regard command-line recipients as tainted.
375
376JH/06 Bug 340: Remove the daemon pid file on exit, when due to SIGTERM.
377
378JH/07 Bug 2489: Fix crash in the "pam" expansion condition.  It seems that the
379      PAM library frees one of the arguments given to it, despite the
380      documentation.  Therefore a plain malloc must be used.
381
382JH/08 Bug 2491: Use tainted buffers for the transport smtp context.  Previously
383      on-stack buffers were used, resulting in a taint trap when DSN information
384      copied from a received message was written into the buffer.
385
386JH/09 Bug 2493: Harden ARC verify against Outlook, whick has been seen to mix
387      the ordering of its ARC headers.  This caused a crash.
388
389JH/10 Bug 2492: Use tainted memory for retry record when needed.  Previously when
390      a new record was being constructed with information from the peer, a trap
391      was taken.
392
393JH/11 Bug 2494: Unset the default for dmarc_tld_file.  Previously a naiive
394      installation would get error messages from DMARC verify, when it hit the
395      nonexistent file indicated by the default.  Distros wanting DMARC enabled
396      should both provide the file and set the option.
397      Also enforce no DMARC verification for command-line sourced messages.
398
399JH/12 Fix an uninitialised flag in early-pipelining.  Previously connections
400      could, depending on the platform, hang at the STARTTLS response.
401
402JH/13 Bug 2498: Reset a counter used for ARC verify before handling another
403      message on a connection.  Previously if one message had ARC headers and
404      the following one did not, a crash could result when adding an
405      Authentication-Results: header.
406
407JH/14 Bug 2500: Rewind some of the common-coding in string handling between the
408      Exim main code and Exim-related utities.  The introduction of taint
409      tracking also did many adjustments to string handling.  Since then, eximon
410      frequently terminated with an assert failure.
411
412JH/15 When PIPELINING, synch after every hundred or so RCPT commands sent and
413      check for 452 responses.  This slightly helps the inefficieny of doing
414      a large alias-expansion into a recipient-limited target.  The max_rcpt
415      transport option still applies (and at the current default, will override
416      the new feature).  The check is done for either cause of synch, and forces
417      a fast-retry of all 452'd recipients using a new MAIL FROM on the same
418      connection.  The new facility is not tunable at this time.
419
420JH/16 Fix the variables set by the gsasl authenticator.  Previously a pointer to
421      library live data was being used, so the results became garbage.  Make
422      copies while it is still usable.
423
424JH/17 Logging: when the deliver_time selector ise set, include the DT= field
425      on delivery deferred (==) and failed (**) lines (if a delivery was
426      attemtped).  Previously it was only on completion (=>) lines.
427
428JH/18 Authentication: the gsasl driver not provides the $authN variables in time
429      for the expansion of the server_scram_iter and server_scram_salt options.
430
431WB/01 SPF: DNS lookups for the obsolete SPF RR type done by the libspf2 library
432      are now specifically given a NO_DATA response without hitting the system
433      resolver.  The library goes on to do the now-standard TXT lookup.
434      Use of dnsdb lookups is not affected.
435
436JH/19 Bug 2507: Modules: on handling a dynamic-module (lookups) open failure,
437      only retrieve the errormessage once.  Previously two calls to dlerror()
438      were used, and the second one (for mainlog/paniclog) retrieved null
439      information.
440
441JH/20 Taint checking: disallow use of tainted data for
442      - the appendfile transport file and directory options
443      - the pipe transport command
444      - the autoreply transport file, log and once options
445      - file names used by the redirect router (including filter files)
446      - named-queue names
447      - paths used by single-key lookups
448      Previously this was permitted.
449
450JH/21 Bug 2501: Fix init call in the heimdal authenticator.  Previously it
451      adjusted the size of a major service buffer; this failed because the
452      buffer was in use at the time.  Change to a compile-time increase in the
453      buffer size, when this authenticator is compiled into exim.
454
455JH/22 Taint-checking: move to safe-mode taint checking on all platforms.  The
456      previous fast-mode was untenable in the face of glibs using mmap to
457      support larger malloc requests.
458
459PP/01 Update the openssl_options possible values through OpenSSL 1.1.1c.
460      New values supported, if defined on system where compiled:
461      allow_no_dhe_kex, cryptopro_tlsext_bug, enable_middlebox_compat,
462      no_anti_replay, no_encrypt_then_mac, prioritize_chacha, tlsext_padding
463
464JH/23 Performance improvement in the initial phase of a two-pass queue run.  By
465      running a limited number of proceses in parallel, a benefit is gained. The
466      amount varies with the platform hardware and load.  The use of the option
467      queue_run_in_order means we cannot do this, as ordering becomes
468      indeterminate.
469
470JH/24 Bug 2524: fix the cyrus_sasl auth driver gssapi usage.  A previous fix
471      had introduced a string-copy (for ensuring NUL-termination) which was not
472      appropriate for that case, which can include embedded NUL bytes in the
473      block of data.  Investigation showed the copy to actually be needless, the
474      data being length-specified.
475
476JH/25 Fix use of concurrent TLS connections under GnuTLS.  When a callout was
477      done during a receiving connection, and both used TLS, global info was
478      used rather than per-connection info for tracking the state of data
479      queued for transmission.  This could result in a connection hang.
480
481JH/26 Fix use of the SIZE parameter on MAIL commands, on continued connections.
482      Previously, when delivering serveral messages down a single connection
483      only the first would provide a SIZE.  This was due to the size information
484      not being properly tracked.
485
486JH/27 Bug 2530: When operating in a timezone with sub-minute offset, such as
487      TAI (at 37 seconds currently), pretend to be in UTC for time-related
488      expansion and logging.  Previously, spurious values such as a future
489      minute could be seen.
490
491JH/28 Bug 2533: Fix expansion of ${tr } item.  When called in some situations
492      it could crash from a null-deref.  This could also affect the
493      ${addresses: } operator and ${readsock } item.
494
495JH/29 Bug 2537: Fix $mime_part_count.  When a single connection had a non-mime
496      message following a mime one, the variable was not reset.
497
498JH/30 When an pipelined-connect fails at the first response, assume incorrect
499      cached capability (perhaps the peer reneged?) and immediately retry in
500      non-pipelined mode.
501
502JH/31 Fix spurious detection of timeout while writing to transport filter.
503
504JH/32 Bug 2541: Fix segfault on bad cmdline -f (sender) argument.  Previously
505      an attempt to copy the string was made before checking it.
506
507JH/33 Fix the dsearch lookup to return an untainted result.  Previously the
508      taint of the lookup key was maintained; we now regard the presence in the
509      filesystem as sufficient validation.
510
511JH/34 Fix the readsocket expansion to not segfault when an empty "options"
512      argument is supplied.
513
514JH/35 The dsearch lookup now requires that the directory is an absolute path.
515      Previously this was not checked, and nonempty relative paths made an
516      access under Exim's current working directory.
517
518JH/36 Bug 2554: Fix msg:defer event for the hosts_max_try_hardlimit case.
519      Previously no event was raised.
520
521JH/37 Bug 2552: Fix the check on spool space during reception to use the SIZE
522      parameter supplied by the sender MAIL FROM command.  Previously it was
523      ignored, and only the check_spool_space option value for the required
524      leeway checked.
525
526JH/38 Fix $dkim_key_length.  This should, after a DKIM verification, present
527      the size of the signing public-key.  Previously it was instead giving
528      the size of the signature hash.
529
530JH/39 DKIM verification: the RFC 8301 restriction on sizes of RSA keys is now
531      the default.  See the (new) dkim_verify_min_keysizes option.
532
533JH/40 Fix a memory-handling bug: when a connection carried multiple messages
534      and an ACL use a lookup for checking either the local_part or domain,
535      stale data could be accessed.  Ensure that variable references are
536      dropped between messages.
537
538JH/41 Bug 2571: Fix SPA authenticator.  Running as a server, an offset supplied
539      by the client was not checked as pointing within response data before
540      being used.  A malicious client could thus cause an out-of-bounds read and
541      possibly gain authentication.  Fix by adding the check.
542
543JH/42 Internationalisation: change the default for downconversion in the smtp
544      transport to be "if needed".  Previously it was "as previously set" for
545      the message, which usually meant "if needed" for message-submission but
546      "no" for everything else.  However, MTAs have been seen using SMTPUTF8
547      even when the envelope addresses did not need it, resulting in forwarding
548      failures to non-supporting MTAs.  A downconvert in such cases will be
549      a no-op on the addresses, merely dropping the use of SMTPUTF8 by the
550      transport.  The change does mean that addresses needing conversion will
551      be converted when previously a delivery failure would occur.
552
553JH/43 Fix possible long line in DSN.  Previously when a very long SMTP error
554      response was received it would be used unchecked in a fail-DSN, violating
555      standards on line-length limits.  Truncate if needed.
556
557HS/01 Remove parameters of the link to www.open-spf.org. The linked form
558      doesn't work. (Additionally add a new main config option to configure the
559      spf_smtp_comment)
560
561
562Exim version 4.93
563-----------------
564
565JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
566      side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
567
568JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
569      Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
570      its own TCP segment.
571
572JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
573      each verb.
574
575JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
576
577JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
578
579JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
580      buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
581
582JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
583      TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
584      to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
585      response to EHLO).  Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
586      TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
587      suitably configured).
588
589JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
590      and/or domain.  Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
591
592JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
593      configuration).  If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
594      crash could result.
595
596JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
597      the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
598
599JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages.  Previously, when PIPELINING was
600      used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
601      responses being sent by the server could be lost.  This resulted in
602      dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
603      to this system.
604
605JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
606      string.  Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
607      library routine (usually a crash).  Found by "zerons".
608
609JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout".  Previously it returned no
610      output.
611
612JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward.  Some old
613      API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
614
615JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
616      any timeout set, is taking a long time.  Previously we would hang on to a
617      rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
618      (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
619      input).
620
621HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
622      shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
623      4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
624      systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
625      (It was "hdr.$pid".)
626
627HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
628      shared (NFS) environment.
629
630HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
631      did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
632      affected.
633
634JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
635      on some platforms for bit 31.
636
637JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions.  Thanks
638      to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
639      previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate.  Strings
640      like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
641      and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
642      the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
643      This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
644      and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
645
646JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
647
648JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
649      verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
650
651JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue.  Previously, even with the option
652      queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
653      facility.
654
655JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
656      directory-of-certs mode.  Previously they were advertised despite the
657      documentation.
658
659JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
660      A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
661      for multiple message deliveries, by default.  Previously the default was to
662      not do so.
663
664JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
665      default.  If built with the facility, DANE will be used.  The facility
666      SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
667
668JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
669      is replaced with DISABLE_TLS.  Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
670      must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
671      the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
672      choice.  Non-TLS builds are still supported.
673
674JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
675      reject under TFO.
676
677JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
678      default.  If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
679      be requested on all coneections.
680
681JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
682      controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.
683
684PP/01 Unbreak heimdal_gssapi, broken in 4.92.
685
686JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
687      success-DSN messages.  Previously the From: header was always the default
688      one for these; the option was ignored.
689
690JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
691      Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
692      single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
693      long time.  Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
694
695JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field.  Previously it was the post-routing
696      delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
697      forwarding.  Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
698      standards.
699
700JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
701      requested.  Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
702      error ignored was made.
703
704JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)
705
706JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
707      channel, and values derived from them.  Refuse to expand any tainted
708      values, to catch one form of exploit.
709
710JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option.  Previously the expansion result
711      was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test.  Found and
712      fixed by Ruben Jenster.
713
714JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown.  When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
715      an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
716      causing a segfault.
717
718JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
719      them in our smtp response.
720
721JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
722      any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything).  Previously it
723      was only for check_local user.  The change removes one item of manual
724      configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
725      handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
726
727JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
728      link count into consideration.
729
730HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
731      caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
732
733JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
734      accordance with RFC 2308.  Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
735      receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
736      surprise.
737
738HS/05 Handle trailing backslash gracefully. (CVE-2019-15846)
739
740JH/39 Promote DMARC support to mainline.
741
742JH/40 Bug 2452: Add a References: header to DSNs.
743
744JH/41 With GnuTLS 3.6.0 (and later) do not attempt to manage Diffie-Hellman
745      parameters.  The relevant library call is documented as "Deprecated: This
746      function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. Since
747      3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919."
748
749HS/06 Change the default of dnssec_request_domains to "*"
750
751JH/42 Bug 2545: Fix CHUNKING for all RCPT commands rejected.  Previously we
752      carried on and emitted a BDAT command, even when PIPELINING was not
753      active.
754
755JH/43 Bug 2465: Fix taint-handling in dsearch lookup.  Previously a nontainted
756      buffer was used for the filename, resulting in a trap when tainted
757      arguments (eg. $domain) were used.
758
759JH/44 With OpenSSL 1.1.1 (onwards) disable renegotiation for TLS1.2 and below;
760      recommended to avoid a possible server-load attack.  The feature can be
761      re-enabled via the openssl_options main cofiguration option.
762
763JH/45 local_scan API: documented the current smtp_printf() call. This changed
764      for version 4.90 - adding a "more data" boolean to the arguments.
765      Bumped the ABI version number also, this having been missed previously;
766      release versions 4.90 to 4.92.3 inclusive were effectively broken in
767      respect of usage of smtp_printf() by either local_scan code or libraries
768      accessed via the ${dlfunc } expansion item.  Both will need coding
769      adjustment for any calls to smtp_printf() to match the new function
770      signature; a FALSE value for the new argument is always safe.
771
772JH/46 FreeBSD: fix use of the sendfile() syscall.  The shim was not updating
773      the file-offset (which the Linux syscall does, and exim expects); this
774      resulted in an indefinite loop.
775
776JH/47 ARC: fix crash in signing, triggered when a configuration error failed
777      to do ARC verification.  The Authentication-Results: header line added
778      by the configuration then had no ARC item.
779
780

782-----------------
783
784JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
785      definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
786
787JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
788      non-signal-safe functions being used.
789
790JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
791      number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
792      a resource-consumption attack.  The limit is set at twenty.
793
794JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify.  Fix the
795      report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
796      some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
797
798JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
799      files in the spool were present and unlocked.  A queue-runner could spot
800      them, resulting in a duplicate delivery.  Fix that by doing the unlock
801      after the unlink.  Investigation by Tim Stewart.  Take the opportunity to
802      add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
803      messed with.
804
805PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
806      No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
807
808JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
809      a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
810      Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
811      Found and investigated by Tim Stewart.  Fix by using the open message data
812      file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
813      releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
814      file for the MIME ACL.  Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
815
816JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
817      $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
818
819JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
820      legitimate.
821
822JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
823      Previously this would segfault.
824
825JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed.  Previously this would
826      segfault.
827
828JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
829      like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
830      as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
831      that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
832      "error, loop".  A new main option is added so the older capability of
833      following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
834
835JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
836
837JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
838      methods.  These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
839      now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
840      1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
841
842JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
843
844JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management.  Stop using a global, and
845      explicitly pass a context around.  This enables future use of TLS for
846      connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
847      connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
848
849JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
850
851JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
852
853JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
854      using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
855      Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
856
857JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
858      Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
859      forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
860
861PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
862
863JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection.  Previously only
864      one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
865      time.  Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
866      Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
867
868PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
869      Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
870      promised '?' replacement.
871
872PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
873
874JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
875      should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
876      therefore performance.  Group the declarations where this can't be done so
877      that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
878      variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
879
880JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
881      non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV.  Previously reports were
882      sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
883
884JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters.  It wasn't working.
885      The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
886      was not set for later routers.  Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
887
888JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
889      and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
890      -Mrm.  Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
891
892JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access.  This required using
893      a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
894      hope that is portable enough.
895
896JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS.  Previously it was also
897      requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
898      TLSA as an anchor.  Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
899      on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
900
901JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address.  Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
902      included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
903      SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
904
905JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
906      Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH.  While in that bit of code,
907      move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
908      failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
909
910JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
911      msg:fail:internal event.  Developement by Matthias Kurz.
912
913JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
914      far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there.  Go all
915      the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
916      overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
917
918JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
919      copy a string over itself.  The library routine is documented as not
920      supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
921
922JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
923      platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
924      (i.e. more than 2 TB).  Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
925      the previous G, M, k.
926
927JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
928      $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure.  Previously
929      it was unset.
930
931JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048.  RHEL 8.0
932      OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key.  Do for GnuTLS also, and for
933      more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
934      GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.
935
936JH/35 OpenSSL: fail the handshake when SNI processing hits a problem, server
937      side.  Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.
938
939JH/36 Harden the handling of string-lists.  When a list consisted of a sole
940      "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked
941      off past the nul-terimation.
942
943JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external
944      causes) even when the retry time is not yet met.  Previously they were
945      not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting,
946      and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get
947      notified on each configured delay_warning cycle.
948
949JH/38 Bug 2351: Log failures to extract envelope addresses from message headers.
950
951JH/39 OpenSSL: clear the error stack after an SSL_accept().  With anon-auth
952      cipher-suites, an error can be left on the stack even for a succeeding
953      accept; this results in impossible error messages when a later operation
954      actually does fail.
955
956AM/01 Bug 2359: GnuTLS: repeat lowlevel read and write operations while they
957      return error codes indicating retry.  Under TLS1.3 this becomes required.
958
959JH/40 Fix the feature-cache refresh for EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT.  Previously
960      it only wrote the new authenticators, resulting in a lack of tracking of
961      peer changes of ESMTP extensions until the next cache flush.
962
963JH/41 Fix the loop reading a message header line to check for integer overflow,
964      and more-often against header_maxsize.  Previously a crafted message could
965      induce a crash of the recive process; now the message is cleanly rejected.
966
967JH/42 Bug 2366: Fix the behaviour of the dkim_verify_signers option.  It had
968      been totally disabled for all of 4.91.  Discovery and fix by "Mad Alex".

973
974GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
975      When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
976      in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
977      case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
978      next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
979      be defined in redis_servers.
980
981GF/02 Catch and remove uninitialized value warning in exiqsumm
982      Check for existence of @ARGV before looking at $ARGV[0]
983
984JH/01 Replace the store_release() internal interface with store_newblock(),
985      which internalises the check required to safely use the old one, plus
986      the allocate and data copy operations duplicated in both (!) of the
987      extant use locations.
988
989JH/02 Disallow '/' characters in queue names specified for the "queue=" ACL
990      modifier.  This matches the restriction on the commandline.
991
992JH/03 Fix pgsql lookup for multiple result-tuples with a single column.
993      Previously only the last row was returned.
994
995JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
996      we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
997      element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
998      Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
999      input.
1000
1001JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
1002      While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
1003      variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL.  Also (at any time)
1004      DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool.  But
1005      expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
1006      lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
1007      DNS negative-cache, and bad things result.  Solution is to switch to the
1008      Main pool for expansions.
1009      While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
1010      active in the testsuite.
1011      Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.
1012
1013JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
1014      When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
1015      connection, close it and proceed with the list.  Previously we would
1016      queue the message.  Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
1017      round-robin DNS.
1018
1019JH/07 Bug 2214: Fix SMTP responses resulting from non-accept result of MIME ACL.
1020      Previously a spurious "250 OK id=" response was appended to the proper
1021      failure response.
1022
1023JH/08 The "support for" informational output now, which built with Content
1024      Scanning support, has a line for the malware scanner interfaces compiled
1025      in.  Interface can be individually included or not at build time.
1026
1027JH/09 The "aveserver", "kavdaemon" and "mksd" interfaces are now not included
1028      by the template makefile "src/EDITME".  The "STREAM" support for an older
1029      ClamAV interface method is removed.
1030
1031JH/10 Bug 2223: Fix mysql lookup returns for the no-data case (when the number of
1032      rows affected is given instead).
1033
1034JH/11 The runtime Berkeley DB library version is now additionally output by
1035      "exim -d -bV".  Previously only the compile-time version was shown.
1036
1037JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating
1038      SMTP connection.  Previously, when one had more recipients than the
1039      first, an abortive onward connection was made.  Move to full support for
1040      multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
1041      for all multi-message initiating connections.
1042
1043JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by
1044      routers.  Previously, a multi-recipient message would fail to match the
1045      onward-connection opened for the first recipient, and cause its closure.
1046
1047JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
1048      a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
1049      initiating connection being dropped.  This mattered most when the callout
1050      was marked defer_ok.  Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
1051      separate.
1052
1053JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in
1054      unsupported situations, from error to silently (except under debug)
1055      ignoring.  This covers use with PRDR, frozen messages, queue-only and
1056      fake-reject.
1057
1058HS/01 Fix Buffer overflow in base64d() (CVE-2018-6789)
1059
1060JH/16 Fix bug in DKIM verify: a buffer overflow could corrupt the malloc
1061      metadata, resulting in a crash in free().
1062
1063PP/01 Fix broken Heimdal GSSAPI authenticator integration.
1064      Broken in f2ed27cf5, missing an equals sign for specified-initialisers.
1065      Broken also in d185889f4, with init system revamp.
1066
1067JH/17 Bug 2113: Fix conversation closedown with the Avast malware scanner.
1068      Previously we abruptly closed the connection after reading a malware-
1069      found indication; now we go on to read the "scan ok" response line,
1070      and send a quit.
1071
1072JH/18 Bug 2239: Enforce non-usability of control=utf8_downconvert in the mail
1073      ACL.  Previously, a crash would result.
1074
1075JH/19 Speed up macro lookups during configuration file read, by skipping non-
1076      macro text after a replacement (previously it was only once per line) and
1077      by skipping builtin macros when searching for an uppercase lead character.
1078
1079JH/20 DANE support moved from Experimental to mainline.  The Makefile control
1080      for the build is renamed.
1081
1082JH/21 Fix memory leak during multi-message connections using STARTTLS.  A buffer
1083      was allocated for every new TLS startup, meaning one per message.  Fix
1084      by only allocating once (OpenSSL) or freeing on TLS-close (GnuTLS).
1085
1086JH/22 Bug 2236: When a DKIM verification result is overridden by ACL, DMARC
1087      reported the original.  Fix to report (as far as possible) the ACL
1088      result replacing the original.
1089
1090JH/23 Fix memory leak during multi-message connections using STARTTLS under
1091      OpenSSL.  Certificate information is loaded for every new TLS startup,
1092      and the resources needed to be freed.
1093
1094JH/24 Bug 2242: Fix exim_dbmbuild to permit directoryless filenames.
1095
1096JH/25 Fix utf8_downconvert propagation through a redirect router.  Previously it
1097      was not propagated.
1098
1099JH/26 Bug 2253: For logging delivery lines under PRDR, append the overall
1100      DATA response info to the (existing) per-recipient response info for
1101      the "C=" log element.  It can have useful tracking info from the
1102      destination system.  Patch from Simon Arlott.
1103
1104JH/27 Bug 2251: Fix ldap lookups that return a single attribute having zero-
1105      length value.  Previously this would segfault.
1106
1107HS/02 Support Avast multiline protoocol, this allows passing flags to
1108      newer versions of the scanner.
1109
1110JH/28 Ensure that variables possibly set during message acceptance are marked
1111      dead before release of memory in the daemon loop.  This stops complaints
1112      about them when the debug_store option is enabled.  Discovered specifically
1113      for sender_rate_period, but applies to a whole set of variables.
1114      Do the same for the queue-runner and queue-list loops, for variables set
1115      from spool message files.  Do the same for the SMTP per-message loop, for
1116      certain variables indirectly set in ACL operations.
1117
1118JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
1119      as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager).  The coding had
1120      an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
1121      enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer.  This corrupted long / fast
1122      input.   The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
1123      responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
1124      The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
1125      receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
1126      (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).
1127      Discovered and pinpointed by David Carter.
1128
1129JH/30 The (EXPERIMENTAL_DMARC) variable $dmarc_ar_header is withdrawn, being
1130      replaced by the ${authresults } expansion.
1131
1132JH/31 Bug 2257: Fix pipe transport to not use a socket-only syscall.
1133
1134HS/03 Set a handler for SIGTERM and call exit(3) if running as PID 1. This
1135      allows proper process termination in container environments.
1136
1137JH/32 Bug 2258: Fix spool_wireformat in combination with LMTP transport.
1138      Previously the "final dot" had a newline after it; ensure it is CR,LF.
1139
1140JH/33 SPF: remove support for the "spf" ACL condition outcome values "err_temp"
1141      and "err_perm", deprecated since 4.83 when the RFC-defined words
1142      "temperror" and "permerror" were introduced.
1143
1144JH/34 Re-introduce enforcement of no cutthrough delivery on transports having
1145      transport-filters or DKIM-signing.  The restriction was lost in the
1146      consolidation of verify-callout and delivery SMTP handling.
1147      Extend the restriction to also cover ARC-signing.
1148
1149JH/35 Cutthrough: for a final-dot response timeout (and nonunderstood responses)
1150      in defer=pass mode supply a 450 to the initiator.  Previously the message
1151      would be spooled.
1152
1153PP/02 DANE: add dane_require_tls_ciphers SMTP Transport option; if unset,
1154      tls_require_ciphers is used as before.
1155
1156HS/03 Malware Avast: Better match the Avast multiline protocol. Add
1157      "pass_unscanned".  Only tmpfails from the scanner are written to
1158      the paniclog, as they may require admin intervention (permission
1159      denied, license issues). Other scanner errors (like decompression
1160      bombs) do not cause a paniclog entry.
1161
1162JH/36 Fix reinitialisation of DKIM logging variable between messages.
1163      Previously it was possible to log spurious information in receive log
1164      lines.
1165
1166JH/37 Bug 2255: Revert the disable of the OpenSSL session caching.  This
1167      triggered odd behaviour from Outlook Express clients.
1168
1169PP/03 Add util/renew-opendmarc-tlds.sh script for safe renewal of public
1170      suffix list.
1171
1172JH/38 DKIM: accept Ed25519 pubkeys in SubjectPublicKeyInfo-wrapped form,
1173      since the IETF WG has not yet settled on that versus the original
1174      "bare" representation.
1175
1176JH/39 Fix syslog logging for syslog_timestamp=no and log_selector +millisec.
1177      Previously the millisecond value corrupted the output.
1178      Fix also for syslog_pid=no and log_selector +pid, for which the pid
1179      corrupted the output.

1182Exim version 4.90
1183-----------------
1184
1185JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
1186      more cases is responsible for logging.  This permits library-sourced
1187      string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
1188      pairs of long lines into single ones.
1189
1190PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly
1191      during configuration.  Wildcards are allowed and expanded.
1192
1193JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.
1194      This permits better logging.
1195
1196JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
1197      do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
1198      the passed-on TCP connection.  Instead, proxy the child (and any
1199      subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel.  Logging is
1200      affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
1201      Certificate or OCSP information.  TLS cipher information is still logged.
1202
1203JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of
1204      identical IP addresses on different listening ports.  Will also affect
1205      "exiwhat" output.
1206
1207PP/02 Bug 2070: uClibc defines __GLIBC__ without providing glibc headers;
1208      add noisy ifdef guards to special-case this sillyness.
1209      Patch from Bernd Kuhls.
1210
1211JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger
1212      than 255 are no longer allowed.
1213
1214JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
1215      Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load.  Since we
1216      currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
1217      client, there is no benefit for these.
1218      GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
1219      call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
1220      by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
1221      is used (3.2.4 +).
1222
1223PP/03 Add $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support for reproducible builds, per spec at
1224      <https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/>.
1225
1226JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously
1227      the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and
1228      erroneously found still-pending ones.
1229
1230JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support
1231      MSG_MORE.  Only in-clear (not on TLS connections).
1232
1233JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim.  Unless a
1234      transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for
1235      creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
1236      signature and again for transmission.
1237
1238JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default.  It was disabled in
1239      4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit
1240      mode.  Now, it's been long enough.  Add support for FreeBSD also.
1241
1242JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS.  In the
1243      case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
1244      a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
1245      to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
1246      connection to the new process.  The new one sent a STARTTLS command
1247      which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
1248      database.  Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
1249
1250JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation.  Previously there were
1251      false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
1252      or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
1253      awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
1254
1255PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
1256      Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
1257      security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
1258      own account.  When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
1259      Exim, this might be an issue.  Set this option in main configuration
1260      AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
1261      processing options.
1262
1263JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS.  Previously, although safe, no advantage was
1264      taken.  Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
1265      responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
1266      a single packet).  As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
1267      connections.
1268
1269PP/05 OpenSSL/1.1: use DH_bits() for more accurate DH param sizes.  This
1270      affects you only if you're dancing at the edge of the param size limits.
1271      If you are, and this message makes sense to you, then: raise the
1272      configured limit or use OpenSSL 1.1.  Nothing we can do for older
1273      versions.
1274
1275JH/14 For the "sock" variant of the malware scanner interface, accept an empty
1276      cmdline element to get the documented default one.  Previously it was
1277      inaccessible.
1278
1279JH/15 Fix a crash in the smtp transport caused when two hosts in succession
1280      are unsuable for non-message-specific reasons - eg. connection timeout,
1281      banner-time rejection.
1282
1283JH/16 Fix logging of delivery remote port, when specified by router, under
1284      callout/hold.
1285
1286PP/06 Repair manualroute's ability to take options in any order, even if one
1287      is the name of a transport.
1288      Fixes bug 2140.
1289
1290HS/01 Cleanup, prevent repeated use of -p/-oMr (CVE-2017-1000369)
1291
1292JH/17 Change the list-building routines interface to use the expanding-string
1293      triplet model, for better allocation and copying behaviour.
1294
1295JH/18 Prebuild the data-structure for "builtin" macros, for faster startup.
1296      Previously it was constructed the first time a possibly-matching string
1297      was met in the configuration file input during startup; now it is done
1298      during compilation.
1299
1300JH/19 Bug 2141: Use the full-complex API for Berkeley DB rather than the legacy-
1301      compatible one, to avoid the (poorly documented) possibility of a config
1302      file in the working directory redirecting the DB files, possibly correpting
1303      some existing file.  CVE-2017-10140 assigned for BDB.
1304
1305JH/20 Bug 2147: Do not defer for a verify-with-callout-and-random which is not
1306      cache-hot.  Previously, although the result was properly cached, the
1307      initial verify call returned a defer.
1308
1309JH/21 Bug 2151: Avoid using SIZE on the MAIL for a callout verify, on any but
1310      the main verify for receipient in uncached-mode.
1311
1312JH/22 Retire historical build files to an "unsupported" subdir.  These are
1313      defined as "ones for which we have no current evidence of testing".
1314
1315JH/23 DKIM: enforce the DNS pubkey record "h" permitted-hashes optional field,
1316      if present.  Previously it was ignored.
1317
1318JH/24 Start using specified-initialisers in C structure init coding.  This is
1319      a C99 feature (it's 2017, so now considered safe).
1320
1321JH/25 Use one-bit bitfields for flags in the "addr" data structure.  Previously
1322      if was a fixed-sized field and bitmask ops via macros; it is now more
1323      extensible.

1328PP/08 Bug 2161: Fix regression in sieve quoted-printable handling introduced
1329      during Coverity cleanups [4.87 JH/47]
1330      Diagnosis and fix provided by Michael Fischer v. Mollard.
1331
1332JH/26 Fix DKIM bug: when the pseudoheader generated for signing was exactly
1333      the right size to place the terminating semicolon on its own folded
1334      line, the header hash was calculated to an incorrect value thanks to
1335      the (relaxed) space the fold became.
1336
1337HS/02 Fix Bug 2130: large writes from the transport subprocess were chunked
1338      and confused the parent.
1339
1340JH/27 Fix SOCKS bug: an unitialized pointer was deref'd by the transport process
1341      which could crash as a result.  This could lead to undeliverable messages.
1342
1343JH/28 Logging: "next input sent too soon" now shows where input was truncated
1344      for log purposes.
1345
1346JH/29 Fix queue_run_in_order to ignore the PID portion of the message ID.  This
1347      matters on fast-turnover and PID-randomising systems, which were getting
1348      out-of-order delivery.
1349
1350JH/30 Fix a logging bug on aarch64: an unsafe routine was previously used for
1351      a possibly-overlapping copy.  The symptom was that "Remote host closed
1352      connection in response to HELO" was logged instead of the actual 4xx
1353      error for the HELO.
1354
1355JH/31 Fix CHUNKING code to properly flush the unwanted chunk after an error.
1356      Previously only that bufferd was discarded, resulting in SYMTP command
1357      desynchronisation.
1358
1359JH/32 DKIM: when a message has multiple signatures matching an identity given
1360      in dkim_verify_signers, run the dkim acl once for each.  Previously only
1361      one run was done.  Bug 2189.
1362
1363JH/33 Downgrade an unfound-list name (usually a typo in the config file) from
1364      "panic the current process" to "deliberately defer".  The panic log is
1365      still written with the problem list name; the mail and reject logs now
1366      get a temp-reject line for the message that was being handled, saying
1367      something like "domains check lookup or other defer".  The SMTP 451
1368      message is still "Temporary local problem".
1369
1370JH/34 Bug 2199: Fix a use-after-free while reading smtp input for header lines.
1371      A crafted sequence of BDAT commands could result in in-use memory beeing
1372      freed.  CVE-2017-16943.
1373
1374HS/03 Bug 2201: Fix checking for leading-dot on a line during headers reading
1375      from SMTP input.  Previously it was always done; now only done for DATA
1376      and not BDAT commands.  CVE-2017-16944.
1377
1378JH/35 Bug 2201: Flush received data in BDAT mode after detecting an error fatal
1379      to the message (such as an overlong header line).  Previously this was
1380      not done and we did not exit BDAT mode.  Followon from the previous item
1381      though a different problem.

1396      missing a wire-to-host endian conversion.
1397
1398JH/04 Bug 2004: fix CHUNKING in non-PIPELINEING mode.  Chunk data following
1399      close after a BDAT command line could be taken as a following command,
1400      giving a synch failure.  Fix by only checking for synch immediately
1401      before acknowledging the chunk.
1402
1403PP/02 GitHub PR 52: many spelling fixes, which include fixing parsing of
1404      no_require_dnssec option and creation of _HAVE_TRANSPORT_APPEND_MAILDIR
1405      macro.  Patches provided by Josh Soref.
1406
1407JH/05 Have the EHLO response advertise VRFY, if there is a vrfy ACL defined.
1408      Previously we did not; the RFC seems ambiguous and VRFY is not listed
1409      by IANA as a service extension.  However, John Klensin suggests that we
1410      should.
1411
1412JH/06 Bug 2017: Fix DKIM verification in -bh test mode.  The data feed into
1413      the dkim code may be unix-mode line endings rather than smtp wire-format
1414      CRLF, so prepend a CR to any bare LF.
1415
1416JH/07 Rationalise the coding for callout smtp conversations and transport ones.
1417      As a side-benfit, callouts can now use PIPELINING hence fewer round-trips.
1418
1419JH/08 Bug 2016: Fix DKIM verification vs. CHUNKING.  Any BDAT commands after
1420      the first were themselves being wrongly included in the feed into dkim
1421      processing; with most chunk sizes in use this resulted in an incorrect
1422      body hash calculated value.
1423
1424JH/09 Bug 2014: permit inclusion of a DKIM-Signature header in a received
1425      DKIM signature block, for verification.  Although advised against by
1426      standards it is specifically not ruled illegal.
1427

1431      missing a body hash (the bh= tag).
1432
1433JH/12 Bug 2018: Re-order Proxy Protocol startup versus TLS-on-connect startup.
1434      It seems that HAProxy sends the Proxy Protocol information in clear and
1435      only then does a TLS startup, so do the same.
1436
1437JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
1438      TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
1439      Fast Open mode on its listening sockets.  This fixes breakage seen on
1440      too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
1441      requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used
1442      by non-daemon-related Exim processes.
1443
1444JH/14 Bug 2000: Reject messages recieved with CHUNKING but with malformed line
1445      endings, at least on the first header line.  Try to canonify any that get
1446      past that check, despite the cost.
1447
1448JH/15 Angle-bracket nesting (an error inserted by broken sendmails) levels are

1451
1452PP/03 Bug 2018: For Proxy Protocol and TLS-on-connect, do not over-read and

1460JH/16 Drop variables when they go out of scope.  Memory management drops a whole
1461      region in one operation, for speed, and this leaves assigned pointers
1462      dangling.  Add checks run only under the testsuite which checks all
1463      variables at a store-reset and panics on a dangling pointer; add code
1464      explicitly nulling out all the variables discovered.  Fixes one known
1465      bug: a transport crash, where a dangling pointer for $sending_ip_address
1466      originally assigned in a verify callout, is re-used.

1494-----------------
1495
1496JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination
1497      supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one).
1498
1499JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten
1500      years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs
1501      acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime.
1502
1503JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
1504      a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
1505      or even an in-clear connection were permitted.  Now, if the host lookup
1506      was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
1507      TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec.  Further hosts (eg. lower priority
1508      MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
1509      if one fails this test.
1510      This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
1511      but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.
1512
1513JH/04 Bug 1810: make continued-use of an open smtp transport connection
1514      non-noisy when a race steals the message being considered.

1518
1519JH/06 Bug 165: hide more cases of password exposure - this time in expansions
1520      in rewrites and routers.
1521
1522JH/07 Retire gnutls_require_mac et.al.  These were nonfunctional since 4.80
1523      and logged a warning sing 4.83; now they are a configuration file error.

1528JH/09 Bug 1804: Avoid writing msglog files when in -bh or -bhc mode.
1529
1530JH/10 Support ${sha256:} applied to a string (as well as the previous
1531      certificate).
1532
1533JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when
1534      a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection.
1535      This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough
1536      connection after a verify cache hit.
1537      Do not update it with the verify result either.
1538
1539JH/12 Cutthrough: disable when verify option success_on_redirect is used, and
1540      when routing results in more than one destination address.
1541
1542JH/13 Cutthrough: expand transport dkim_domain option when testing for dkim
1543      signing (which inhibits the cutthrough capability).  Previously only
1544      the presence of an option was tested; now an expansion evaluating as
1545      empty is permissible (obviously it should depend only on data available
1546      when the cutthrough connection is made).
1547
1548JH/14 Fix logging of errors under PIPELINING.  Previously the log line giving
1549      the relevant preceding SMTP command did not note the pipelining mode.
1550
1551JH/15 Fix counting of empty lines in $body_linecount and $message_linecount.
1552      Previously they were not counted.
1553
1554JH/16 DANE: treat a TLSA lookup response having all non-TLSA RRs, the same
1555      as one having no matching records.  Previously we deferred the message
1556      that needed the lookup.
1557
1558JH/17 Fakereject: previously logged as a normal message arrival "<="; now
1559      distinguished as "(=".
1560
1561JH/18 Bug 1867: make the fail_defer_domains option on a dnslookup router work
1562      for missing MX records.  Previously it only worked for missing A records.
1563
1564JH/19 Bug 1850: support Radius libraries that return REJECT_RC.
1565
1566JH/20 Bug 1872: Ensure that acl_smtp_notquit is run when the connection drops
1567      after the data-go-ahead and data-ack.  Patch from Jason Betts.
1568
1569JH/21 Bug 1846: Send DMARC forensic reports for reject and quarantine results,
1570      even for a "none" policy.  Patch from Tony Meyer.
1571
1572JH/22 Fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries. If a port was
1573      specified by a router, it must also match for the delivery to be
1574      compatible.
1575
1576JH/23 Bug 1874: fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries.
1577      When one of the recipients of a message was unsuitable for the connection
1578      (has no matching addresses), we lost track of needing to mark it
1579      deferred.  As a result mail would be lost.
1580
1581JH/24 Bug 1832: Log EHLO response on getting conn-close response for HELO.
1582
1583JH/25 Decoding ACL controls is now done using a binary search; the source code
1584      takes up less space and should be simpler to maintain.  Merge the ACL
1585      condition decode tables also, with similar effect.
1586
1587JH/26 Fix problem with one_time used on a redirect router which returned the
1588      parent address unchanged.  A retry would see the parent address marked as
1589      delivered, so not attempt the (identical) child.  As a result mail would
1590      be lost.
1591
1592JH/27 Fix a possible security hole, wherein a process operating with the Exim
1593      UID can gain a root shell.  Credit to http://www.halfdog.net/ for

1597JH/28 Enable {spool,log} filesystem space and inode checks as default.
1598      Main config options check_{log,spool}_{inodes,space} are now

1601JH/29 Fix the connection_reject log selector to apply to the connect ACL.
1602      Previously it only applied to the main-section connection policy
1603      options.
1604
1605JH/30 Bug 1897: fix callouts connection fallback from TLS to cleartext.
1606
1607PP/01 Changed default Diffie-Hellman parameters to be Exim-specific, created
1608      by me.  Added RFC7919 DH primes as an alternative.
1609
1610PP/02 Unbreak build via pkg-config with new hash support when crypto headers
1611      are not in the system include path.
1612
1613JH/31 Fix longstanding bug with aborted TLS server connection handling.  Under
1614      GnuTLS, when a session startup failed (eg because the client disconnected)
1615      Exim did stdio operations after fclose.  This was exposed by a recent
1616      change which nulled out the file handle after the fclose.
1617
1618JH/32 Bug 1909: Fix OCSP proof verification for cases where the proof is
1619      signed directly by the cert-signing cert, rather than an intermediate
1620      OCSP-signing cert.  This is the model used by LetsEncrypt.
1621
1622JH/33 Bug 1914: Ensure socket is nonblocking before draining after SMTP QUIT.
1623
1624HS/01 Fix leak in verify callout under GnuTLS, about 3MB per recipient on
1625      an incoming connection.
1626
1627HS/02 Bug 1802: Do not half-close the connection after sending a request
1628      to rspamd.
1629
1630HS/03 Use "auto" as the default EC curve parameter. For OpenSSL < 1.0.2
1631      fallback to "prime256v1".
1632
1633JH/34 SECURITY: Use proper copy of DATA command in error message.
1634      Could leak key material.  Remotely exploitable.  CVE-2016-9963.
1635
1636
1637Exim version 4.87
1638-----------------
1639
1640JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16
1641      and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request
1642      it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
1643      client dropping the TLS connection.
1644
1645TF/01 Code cleanup: Overhaul the debug_selector and log_selector machinery to
1646      support variable-length bit vectors. No functional change.
1647
1648TF/02 Improve the consistency of logging incoming and outgoing interfaces.
1649      The I= interface field on outgoing lines is now after the H= remote
1650      host field, same as incoming lines. There is a separate
1651      outgoing_interface log selector which allows you to disable the
1652      outgoing I= field.
1653
1654JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
1655      If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
1656      open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
1657      deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
1658      leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
1659      check on the next write.
1660
1661HS/01 Bug 1671: Fix post transport crash.
1662      Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
1663      process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
1664      using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
1665      file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.
1666
1667JH/03 Bug 425: Capture substrings in $regex1, $regex2 etc from regex &
1668      mime_regex ACL conditions.
1669
1670JH/04 Bug 1686: When compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO: Add extra information
1671      to DSN fail messages (bounces): remote IP, remote greeting, remote response
1672      to HELO, local diagnostic string.
1673
1674JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from
1675      log line to debug.  Even when configured with a tls authenticator many
1676      client connections are expected to not authenticate in this way, so
1677      an authenticate fail is not an error.
1678
1679HS/02 Add the Exim version string to the process info.  This way exiwhat
1680      gives some more detail about the running daemon.
1681
1682JH/06 Bug 1395: time-limit caching of DNS lookups, to the TTL value.  This may
1683      matter for fast-change records such as DNSBLs.
1684
1685JH/07 Bug 1678: Always record an interface option value, if set,  as part of a
1686      retry record, even if constant.  There may be multiple transports with
1687      different interface settings and the retry behaviour needs to be kept
1688      distinct.
1689
1690JH/08 Bug 1586: exiqgrep now refuses to run if there are unexpected arguments.
1691
1692JH/09 Bug 1700: ignore space & tab embedded in base64 during decode.
1693
1694JH/10 Bug 840: fix log_defer_output option of pipe transport
1695
1696JH/11 Bug 830: use same host for all RCPTS of a message, even under
1697      hosts_randomize.  This matters a lot when combined with mua_wrapper.
1698
1699JH/12 Bug 1706: percent and underbar characters are no longer escaped by the
1700      ${quote_pgsql:<string>} operator.
1701
1702JH/13 Bug 1708: avoid misaligned access in cached lookup.
1703
1704JH/14 Change header file name for freeradius-client.  Relevant if compiling
1705      with Radius support; from the Gentoo tree and checked under Fedora.
1706
1707JH/15 Bug 1712: Introduce $prdr_requested flag variable
1708
1709JH/16 Bug 1714: Permit an empty string as expansion result for transport
1710      option transport_filter, meaning no filtering.
1711
1712JH/17 Bug 1713: Fix non-PDKIM_DEBUG build.  Patch from Jasen Betts.
1713
1714JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
1715      defaults to "*" (all hosts).  The variable is now available when not built
1716      with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testsuite sane.
1717      If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
1718      logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup.  Presumably
1719      they will retry in-clear.
1720      Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
1721      at installation time.
1722
1723HS/03 Add -bP config_file as a synonym for -bP configure_file, for consistency
1724      with the $config_file variable.
1725
1726JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
1727      in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
1728      is per host attempted.  The event data is the error message, and the errno
1729      information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
1730      and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx response.
1731
1732GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
1733      to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
1734      creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
1735      installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
1736      result is that the running daemon panics and dies.
1737
1738JH/20 Bug 1701: For MySQL lookups, support MySQL config file option group names.
1739
1740JH/21 Bug 1720: Add support for priority groups and weighted-random proxy
1741      selection for the EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS feature, via new per-proxy options
1742      "pri" and "weight".  Note that the previous implicit priority given by the
1743      list order is no longer honoured.
1744
1745JH/22 Bugs 963, 1721: Fix some corner cases in message body canonicalization
1746      for DKIM processing.
1747
1748JH/23 Move SOCKS5 support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
1749      by defining SUPPORT_SOCKS.
1750
1751JH/26 Move PROXY support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
1752      by defining SUPPORT_PROXY.  Note that the proxy_required_hosts option
1753      is renamed to hosts_proxy, and the proxy_{host,target}_{address,port}.
1754      variables are renamed to proxy_{local,external}_{address,port}.
1755
1756JH/27 Move Internationalisation support from Experimental to mainline, enabled
1757      for a build by defining SUPPORT_I18N
1758
1759JH/28 Bug 1745: Fix redis lookups to handle (quoted) spaces embedded in parts
1760      of the query string, and make ${quote_redis:} do that quoting.
1761
1762JH/29 Move Events support from Experimental to mainline, enabled by default
1763      and removable for a build by defining DISABLE_EVENT.
1764
1765JH/30 Updated DANE implementation code to current from Viktor Dukhovni.
1766
1767JH/31 Fix bug with hosts_connection_nolog and named-lists which were wrongly
1768      cached by the daemon.
1769
1770JH/32 Move Redis support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
1771      by defining LOOKUP_REDIS. The libhiredis library is required.
1772
1773JH/33 Bug 1748: Permit ACL dnslists= condition in non-smtp ACLs if explicit
1774      keys are given for lookup.
1775
1776JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM
1777      support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones.  This means DKIM is
1778      only supported when built with TLS support.  The PolarSSL SHA routines
1779      are still used when the TLS library is too old for convenient support.
1780
1781JH/35 Require SINGLE_DH_USE by default in OpenSSL (main config option
1782      openssl_options), for security.  OpenSSL forces this from version 1.1.0
1783      server-side so match that on older versions.
1784
1785JH/36 Bug 1778: longstanding bug in memory use by the ${run } expansion: A fresh
1786      allocation for $value could be released as the expansion processing
1787      concluded, but leaving the global pointer active for it.
1788
1789JH/37 Bug 1769: Permit a VRFY ACL to override the default 252 response,
1790      and to use the domains and local_parts ACL conditions.
1791
1792JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was
1793      incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a
1794      body-termination at the receiving system - resulting in truncated mails.
1795      Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message
1796      via the normal store-and-forward channel. This could result in duplicates
1797      received - but deduplicating mailstores were liable to retain only the
1798      initial truncated version.
1799
1800JH/39 Bug 1781: Fix use of DKIM private-keys having trailing '=' in the base-64.
1801
1802JH/40 Fix crash in queryprogram router when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_SRS.
1803
1804JH/41 Bug 1792: Fix selection of headers to sign for DKIM: bottom-up.  While
1805      we're in there, support oversigning also; bug 1309.
1806
1807JH/42 Bug 1796: Fix error logged on a malware scanner connection failure.
1808
1809HS/04 Add support for keep_environment and add_environment options.
1810
1811JH/43 Tidy coding issues detected by gcc --fsanitize=undefined.  Some remain;
1812      either intentional arithmetic overflow during PRNG, or testing config-
1813      induced overflows.
1814
1815JH/44 Bug 1800: The combination of a -bhc commandline option and cutthrough
1816      delivery resulted in actual delivery.  Cancel cutthrough before DATA
1817      stage.
1818
1819JH/45 Fix cutthrough, when connection not opened by verify and target hard-
1820      rejects a recipient: pass the reject to the originator.
1821
1822JH/46 Multiple issues raised by Coverity. Some were obvious or plausible bugs.
1823      Many were false-positives and ignorable, but it's worth fixing the
1824      former class.
1825
1826JH/47 Fix build on HP-UX and older Solaris, which need (un)setenv now also
1827      for the new environment-manipulation done at startup.  Move the routines
1828      from being local to tls.c to being global via the os.c file.
1829
1830JH/48 Bug 1807: Fix ${extract } for the numeric/3-string case. While preparsing
1831      an extract embedded as result-arg for a map, the first arg for extract
1832      is unavailable so we cannot tell if this is a numbered or keyed
1833      extraction.  Accept either.
1834
1835
1836Exim version 4.86
1837-----------------
1838
1839JH/01 Bug 1545: The smtp transport option "retry_include_ip_address" is now
1840      expanded.
1841
1842JH/02 The smtp transport option "multi_domain" is now expanded.
1843
1844JH/03 The smtp transport now requests PRDR by default, if the server offers
1845      it.
1846
1847JH/04 Certificate name checking on server certificates, when exim is a client,
1848      is now done by default.  The transport option tls_verify_cert_hostnames
1849      can be used to disable this per-host.  The build option
1850      EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES is withdrawn.
1851
1852JH/05 The value of the tls_verify_certificates smtp transport and main options
1853      default to the word "system" to access the system default CA bundle.
1854      For GnuTLS, only version 3.0.20 or later.
1855
1856JH/06 Verification of the server certificate for a TLS connection is now tried
1857      (but not required) by default.  The verification status is now logged by
1858      default, for both outbound TLS and client-certificate supplying inbound
1859      TLS connections
1860
1861JH/07 Changed the default rfc1413 lookup settings to disable calls.  Few
1862      sites use this now.
1863
1864JH/08 The EXPERIMENTAL_DSN compile option is no longer needed; all Delivery
1865      Status Notification (bounce) messages are now MIME format per RFC 3464.
1866      Support for RFC 3461 DSN options NOTIFY,ENVID,RET,ORCPT can be advertised
1867      under the control of the dsn_advertise_hosts option, and routers may
1868      have a dsn_lasthop option.
1869
1870JH/09 A timeout of 2 minutes is now applied to all malware scanner types by
1871      default, modifiable by a malware= option.  The list separator for
1872      the options can now be changed in the usual way.  Bug 68.
1873
1874JH/10 The smtp_receive_timeout main option is now expanded before use.
1875
1876JH/11 The incoming_interface log option now also enables logging of the
1877      local interface on delivery outgoing connections.
1878
1879JH/12 The cutthrough-routing facility now supports multi-recipient mails,
1880      if the interface and destination host and port all match.
1881
1882JH/13 Bug 344: The verify = reverse_host_lookup ACL condition now accepts a
1883      /defer_ok option.
1884
1885JH/14 Bug 1573: The spam= ACL condition now additionally supports Rspamd.
1886      Patch from Andrew Lewis.
1887
1888JH/15 Bug 670: The spamd_address main option (for the spam= ACL condition)
1889      now supports optional time-restrictions, weighting, and priority
1890      modifiers per server.  Patch originally by <rommer@active.by>.
1891
1892JH/16 The spamd_address main option now supports a mixed list of local
1893      and remote servers.  Remote servers can be IPv6 addresses, and
1894      specify a port-range.
1895
1896JH/17 Bug 68: The spamd_address main option now supports an optional
1897      timeout value per server.
1898
1899JH/18 Bug 1581: Router and transport options headers_add/remove can
1900      now have the list separator specified.
1901
1902JH/19 Bug 392: spamd_address, and clamd av_scanner, now support retry
1903      option values.
1904
1905JH/20 Bug 1571: Ensure that $tls_in_peerdn is set, when verification fails
1906      under OpenSSL.
1907
1908JH/21 Support for the A6 type of dns record is withdrawn.
1909
1910JH/22 Bug 608: The result of a QUIT or not-QUIT toplevel ACL now matters
1911      rather than the verbs used.
1912
1913JH/23 Bug 1572: Increase limit on SMTP confirmation message copy size
1914      from 255 to 1024 chars.
1915
1916JH/24 Verification callouts now attempt to use TLS by default.
1917
1918HS/01 DNSSEC options (dnssec_require_domains, dnssec_request_domains)
1919      are generic router options now. The defaults didn't change.
1920
1921JH/25 Bug 466: Add RFC2322 support for MIME attachment filenames.
1922      Original patch from Alexander Shikoff, worked over by JH.
1923
1924HS/02 Bug 1575: exigrep falls back to autodetection of compressed
1925      files if ZCAT_COMMAND is not executable.
1926
1927JH/26 Bug 1539: Add timeout/retry options on dnsdb lookups.
1928
1929JH/27 Bug 286: Support SOA lookup in dnsdb lookups.
1930
1931JH/28 Bug 1588: Do not use the A lookup following an AAAA for setting the FQDN.
1932      Normally benign, it bites when the pair was led to by a CNAME;
1933      modern usage is to not canonicalize the domain to a CNAME target
1934      (and we were inconsistent anyway for A-only vs AAAA+A).
1935
1936JH/29 Bug 1632: Removed the word "rejected" from line logged for ACL discards.
1937
1938JH/30 Check the forward DNS lookup for DNSSEC, in addition to the reverse,
1939      when evaluating $sender_host_dnssec.
1940
1941JH/31 Check the HELO verification lookup for DNSSEC, adding new
1942      $sender_helo_dnssec variable.
1943
1944JH/32 Bug 1397: Enable ECDHE on OpenSSL, just the NIST P-256 curve.
1945
1946JH/33 Bug 1346: Note MAIL cmd seen in -bS batch, to avoid smtp_no_mail log.
1947
1948JH/34 Bug 1648: Fix a memory leak seen with "mailq" and large queues.
1949
1950JH/35 Bug 1642: Fix support of $spam_ variables at delivery time.  Was
1951      documented as working, but never had.  Support all but $spam_report.
1952
1953JH/36 Bug 1659: Guard checking of input smtp commands again pseudo-command
1954      added for tls authenticator.
1955
1956HS/03 Add perl_taintmode main config option
1957
1958
1959Exim version 4.85
1960-----------------
1961
1962TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
1963      no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
1964      test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
1965      the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
1966      script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
1967      variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
1968      the script parsing/test process like normal.
1969
1970TL/02 The BSD's have an arc4random API. One of the functions to induce
1971      adding randomness was arc4random_stir(), but it has been removed in
1972      OpenBSD 5.5. Detect this OpenBSD version and skip calling this
1973      function when detected.
1974
1975JH/01 Expand the EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA feature.  Several different events now
1976      cause callback expansion.
1977
1978TL/03 Bugzilla 1518: Clarify "condition" processing in routers; that
1979      syntax errors in an expansion can be treated as a string instead of
1980      logging or causing an error, due to the internal use of bool_lax
1981      instead of bool when processing it.
1982
1983JH/02 Add EXPERIMENTAL_DANE, allowing for using the DNS as trust-anchor for
1984      server certificates when making smtp deliveries.
1985
1986JH/03 Support secondary-separator specifier for MX, SRV, TLSA lookups.
1987
1988JH/04 Add ${sort {list}{condition}{extractor}} expansion item.
1989
1990TL/04 Bugzilla 1216: Add -M (related messages) option to exigrep.
1991
1992TL/05 GitHub Issue 18: Adjust logic testing for true/false in redis lookups.
1993      Merged patch from Sebastian Wiedenroth.
1994
1995JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process.  Several recipients, combined
1996      with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split
1997      over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly.  This eventually
1998      resulted in duplicates being sent.  This issue only became common enough
1999      to notice due to the introduction of connection certificate information,
2000      the item size being so much larger.  Found and fixed by Wolfgang Breyha.
2001
2002JH/06 Bug 1533: Fix truncation of items in headers_remove lists.  A fixed
2003      size buffer was used, resulting in syntax errors when an expansion
2004      exceeded it.
2005
2006JH/07 Add support for directories of certificates when compiled with a GnuTLS
2007      version 3.3.6 or later.
2008
2009JH/08 Rename the TPDA experimental facility to Event Actions.  The #ifdef
2010      is EXPERIMENTAL_EVENT, the main-configuration and transport options
2011      both become "event_action", the variables become $event_name, $event_data
2012      and $event_defer_errno.  There is a new variable $verify_mode, usable in
2013      routers, transports and related events.  The tls:cert event is now also
2014      raised for inbound connections, if the main configuration event_action
2015      option is defined.

2069Exim version 4.83
2070-----------------
2071
2072TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
2073
2074      When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
2075      the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
2076      deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
2077      delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
2078      connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
2079      a "Bad file descriptor" error.
2080
2081TF/02 Portability fix for building lookup modules on Solaris when the xpg4
2082      utilities have not been installed.

2086
2087TL/01 LDAP support uses per connection or global context settings, depending
2088      upon the detected version of the libraries at build time.
2089
2090TL/02 Experimental Proxy Protocol support: allows a proxied SMTP connection
2091      to extract and use the src ip:port in logging and expansions as if it
2092      were a direct connection from the outside internet. PPv2 support was
2093      updated based on HAProxy spec change in May 2014.
2094
2095JH/02 Add ${listextract {number}{list}{success}{fail}}.

2108
2109TL/05 Rename SPF condition results err_perm and err_temp to standardized
2110      results permerror and temperror.  Previous values are deprecated but
2111      still accepted.  In a future release, err_perm and err_temp will be
2112      completely removed, which will be a backward incompatibility if the
2113      ACL tests for either of these two old results. Patch contributed by
2114      user bes-internal on the mailing list.

2138JH/12 Expand items in router/transport headers_add or headers_remove lists
2139      individually rather than the list as a whole.  Bug 1452.
2140
2141      Required for reasonable handling of multiple headers_ options when
2142      they may be empty; requires that headers_remove items with embedded
2143      colons must have them doubled (or the list-separator changed).
2144
2145TL/07 Add new dmarc expansion variable $dmarc_domain_policy to directly
2146      view the policy declared in the DMARC record. Currently, $dmarc_status
2147      is a combined value of both the record presence and the result of the
2148      analysis.
2149
2150JH/13 Fix handling of $tls_cipher et.al. in (non-verify) transport.  Bug 1455.

2323      data from the Dovecot auth socket.
2324
2325TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
2326
2327      When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
2328      recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
2329      hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
2330      any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
2331      the retry rules.
2332
2333      So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
2334      deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
2335      address never reaches the final cutoff time.
2336
2337      This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
2338      their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
2339      to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
2340      in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
2341
2342      This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
2343      final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
2344      this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
2345      domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
2346      the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
2347      this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
2348      delivery, as in LMTP.
2349
2350      I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
2351      redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.
2352
2353TF/02 Correct gecos expansion when From: is a prefix of the username.
2354
2355      Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header
2356
2357        Resent-From: f
2358
2359      When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
2360      the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
2361      a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
2362      username as equal to the username.
2363
2364      This change corrects that bug.

2385JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
2386      Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
2387      Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR.  A new
2388      config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
2389      advertises the facility.  If the client requests PRDR a new
2390      acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
2391      the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
2392      The client is controlled by both of: a hosts_try_prdr option
2393      on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
2394      Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
2395      PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

2545
2546PP/14 TLS fixes for OpenSSL: support TLS 1.1 & 1.2; new "openssl_options"
2547      values; set SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY so that OpenSSL will retry a read
2548      or write after TLS renegotiation, which otherwise led to messages
2549      "Got SSL error 2".

2563
2564PP/16 Removed "dont_insert_empty_fragments" from "openssl_options".
2565      Removed SSL_clear() after SSL_new() which led to protocol negotiation
2566      failures.  We appear to now support TLS1.1+ with Exim.
2567
2568PP/17 OpenSSL: new expansion var $tls_sni, which if used in tls_certificate
2569      lets Exim select keys and certificates based upon TLS SNI from client.
2570      Also option tls_sni on SMTP Transports.  Also clear $tls_bits correctly
2571      before an outbound SMTP session.  New log_selector, +tls_sni.

2577      on less well tested platforms).  Obviates NetBSD pkgsrc patch-ac.
2578      Not seeing resolver debug output on NetBSD, but suspect this is a
2579      resolver implementation change.
2580
2581PP/20 Revert part of NM/04, it broke log_path containing %D expansions.
2582      Left warnings.  Added "eximon gdb" invocation mode.

2585
2586PP/22 Added -bw for inetd wait mode support.
2587

2589      locate the relevant includes and libraries.  Made this the default.
2590
2591PP/24 Fixed headers_only on smtp transports (was not sending trailing dot).
2592      Bugzilla 1246, report and most of solution from Tomasz Kusy.
2593
2594JH/03 ${eval } now uses 64-bit and supports a "g" suffix (like to "k" and "m").
2595      This may cause build issues on older platforms.
2596
2597PP/25 Revamped GnuTLS support, passing tls_require_ciphers to
2598      gnutls_priority_init, ignoring Exim options gnutls_require_kx,
2599      gnutls_require_mac & gnutls_require_protocols (no longer supported).
2600      Added SNI support via GnuTLS too.
2601      Made ${randint:..} supplier available, if using not-too-old GnuTLS.
2602
2603PP/26 Added EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP for OpenSSL.
2604
2605PP/27 Applied dnsdb SPF support patch from Janne Snabb.

2612      read-only, out of scope).
2613      Patch from Wolfgang Breyha, report from Stuart Northfield.
2614
2615PP/29 Fix three issues highlighted by clang analyser static analysis.
2616      Only crash-plausible issue would require the Cambridge-specific
2617      iplookup router and a misconfiguration.
2618      Report from Marcin Mirosław.
2619
2620PP/30 Another attempt to deal with PCRE_PRERELEASE, this one less buggy.
2621
2622PP/31 %D in printf continues to cause issues (-Wformat=security), so for
2623      now guard some of the printf checks behind WANT_DEEPER_PRINTF_CHECKS.
2624      As part of this, removing so much warning spew let me fix some minor
2625      real issues in debug logging.
2626
2627PP/32 GnuTLS was always using default tls_require_ciphers, due to a missing
2628      assignment on my part.  Fixed.
2629
2630PP/33 Added tls_dh_max_bits option, defaulting to current hard-coded limit
2631      of NSS, for GnuTLS/NSS interop.  Problem root cause diagnosis by
2632      Janne Snabb (who went above and beyond: thank you).
2633
2634PP/34 Validate tls_require_ciphers on startup, since debugging an invalid
2635      string otherwise requires a connection and a bunch more work and it's
2636      relatively easy to get wrong.  Should also expose TLS library linkage
2637      problems.
2638
2639PP/35 Pull in <features.h> on Linux, for some portability edge-cases of
2640      64-bit ${eval} (JH/03).
2641
2642PP/36 Define _GNU_SOURCE in exim.h; it's needed for some releases of
2643      GNU libc to support some of the 64-bit stuff, should not lead to
2644      conflicts.  Defined before os.h is pulled in, so if a given platform
2645      needs to override this, it can.
2646
2647PP/37 Unbreak Cyrus SASL auth: SSF retrieval was incorrect, Exim thought
2648      protection layer was required, which is not implemented.
2649      Bugzilla 1254, patch from Wolfgang Breyha.
2650
2651PP/38 Overhaul DH prime handling, supply RFC-specified DH primes as built
2652      into Exim, default to IKE id 23 from RFC 5114 (2048 bit).  Make
2653      tls_dhparam take prime identifiers.  Also unbreak combination of
2654      OpenSSL+DH_params+TLSSNI.
2655
2656PP/39 Disable SSLv2 by default in OpenSSL support.
2657

2659Exim version 4.77
2660-----------------
2661
2662PP/01 Solaris build fix for Oracle's LDAP libraries.
2663      Bugzilla 1109, patch from Stephen Usher.
2664
2665TF/01 HP/UX build fix: avoid arithmetic on a void pointer.
2666
2667TK/01 DKIM Verification: Fix relaxed canon for empty headers w/o
2668      whitespace trailer
2669
2670TF/02 Fix a couple more cases where we did not log the error message
2671      when unlink() failed. See also change 4.74-TF/03.
2672
2673TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
2674      lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
2675      got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
2676
2677      The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
2678      log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
2679      purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
2680      not safe for signals.
2681
2682      The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2683      log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2684      Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2685      Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2686      exiwhat.
2687
2688TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2689
2690      The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2691      has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2692      are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2693      database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
2694      means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
2695
2696      Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2697      makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2698      message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2699      per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2700      must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2701      /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2702
2703      The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2704      backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2705      ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2706      /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2707
2708      A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2709      of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2710      aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2711      to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2712
2713      The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2714      (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2715      used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2716      measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2717      or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2718      /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2719      Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2720      one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2721      and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2722
2723      The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2724      is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2725      after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2726      count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2727
2728      The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2729      events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2730      recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2731      behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2732      duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2733      the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2734      is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2735      example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2736      with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2737      details in the main documentation.

2922      With thanks to Steve Haslam, Johannes Berg & Serge Demonchaux
2923      for maintaining out-of-tree patches for some time.
2924
2925PP/01 Bugzilla 139: Documentation and portability issues.
2926      Avoid GNU Makefile-isms, let Exim continue to build on BSD.
2927      Handle per-OS dynamic-module compilation flags.
2928
2929PP/02 Let /dev/null have normal permissions.
2930      The 4.73 fixes were a little too stringent and complained about the
2931      permissions on /dev/null.  Exempt it from some checks.
2932      Reported by Andreas M. Kirchwitz.
2933
2934PP/03 Report version information for many libraries, including
2935      Exim version information for dynamically loaded libraries.  Created
2936      version.h, now support a version extension string for distributors
2937      who patch heavily. Dynamic module ABI change.
2938
2939PP/04 CVE-2011-0017 - check return value of setuid/setgid. This is a
2940      privilege escalation vulnerability whereby the Exim run-time user
2941      can cause root to append content of the attacker's choosing to
2942      arbitrary files.
2943
2944PP/05 Bugzilla 1041: merged DCC maintainer's fixes for return code.
2945      (Wolfgang Breyha)
2946
2947PP/06 Bugzilla 1071: fix delivery logging with untrusted macros.
2948      If dropping privileges for untrusted macros, we disabled normal logging
2949      on the basis that it would fail; for the Exim run-time user, this is not
2950      the case, and it resulted in successful deliveries going unlogged.
2951      Fixed.  Reported by Andreas Metzler.
2952
2953
2954Exim version 4.73
2955-----------------
2956

2971
2972PP/06 Adjust NTLM authentication to handle SASL Initial Response.
2973
2974PP/07 If TLS negotiated an anonymous cipher, we could end up with SSL but
2975      without a peer certificate, leading to a segfault because of an
2976      assumption that peers always have certificates.  Be a little more
2977      paranoid.  Problem reported by Martin Tscholak.
2978
2979PP/08 Bugzilla 926: switch ClamAV to use the new zINSTREAM API for content
2980      filtering; old API available if built with WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM=yes
2981      NB: ClamAV planning to remove STREAM in "middle of 2010".

3001      ignore trailing whitespace.
3002

3020      it normally works.
3021
3022DW/21 Added Valgrind hooks in store.c to help it capture out-of-bounds store
3023      access.
3024
3025DW/22 Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - partial fix: restrict default behaviour
3026      of CONFIGURE_OWNER and CONFIGURE_GROUP options to no longer allow a
3027      configuration file which is writeable by the Exim user or group.
3028
3029DW/23 Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - part two: extend checks for writeability
3030      of configuration files to cover files specified with the -C option if
3031      they are going to be used with root privileges, not just the default
3032      configuration file.
3033
3034DW/24 Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - part three: remove ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY
3035      option (effectively making it always true).
3036
3037DW/25 Add TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE option to allow alternative configuration
3038      files to be used while preserving root privileges.
3039
3040DW/26 Set FD_CLOEXEC on SMTP sockets after forking in the daemon, to ensure
3041      that rogue child processes cannot use them.
3042
3043PP/27 Bugzilla 1047: change the default for system_filter_user to be the Exim
3044      run-time user, instead of root.
3045
3046PP/28 Add WHITELIST_D_MACROS option to let some macros be overridden by the
3047      Exim run-time user without dropping privileges.
3048
3049DW/29 Remove use of va_copy() which breaks pre-C99 systems. Duplicate the
3050      result string, instead of calling string_vformat() twice with the same
3051      arguments.
3052
3053DW/30 Allow TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE only for Exim or CONFIGURE_OWNER, not
3054      for other users. Others should always drop root privileges if they use
3055      -C on the command line, even for a whitelisted configure file.
3056
3057DW/31 Turn TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE into TRUSTED_CONFIG_FILE. No prefixes.

3280Exim version 4.69
3281-----------------
3282
3283TK/01 Add preliminary DKIM support. Currently requires a forked version of
3284      ALT-N's libdkim that I have put here:
3285      http://duncanthrax.net/exim-experimental/
3286
3287      Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
3288      were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
3289      keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
3290      not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
3291      build errors in sieve.c.
3292
3293NM/01 Bugzilla 592: --help option is handled incorrectly if exim is invoked
3294      as mailq or other aliases.  Changed the --help handling significantly
3295      to do whats expected.  exim_usage() emits usage/help information.
3296
3297SC/01 Added the -bylocaldomain option to eximstats.
3298
3299NM/02 Bugzilla 619: Defended against bad data coming back from gethostbyaddr.
3300
3301NM/03 Bugzilla 613: Documentation fix for acl_not_smtp.
3302
3303NM/04 Bugzilla 628: PCRE update to 7.4 (work done by John Hall).

3305
3306Exim version 4.68
3307-----------------
3308
3309PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
3310
3311PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
3312      in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
3313      dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
3314      contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
3315      in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
3316      (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
3317      keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
3318      for iplsearch lookups.
3319
3320      This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
3321      colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
3322      previously such lookups could never work.
3323
3324      The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
3325      ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
3326      incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
3327
3328TK/01 Change PRVS address formatting scheme to reflect latests BATV draft
3329      version.
3330
3331MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
3332      conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
3333      a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
3334      right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
3335      attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
3336      exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.
3337
3338TK/02 Bugzilla 502: Apply patch to make the SPF-Received: header use
3339      $primary_hostname instead of what libspf2 thinks the hosts name is.
3340
3341MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
3342      a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
3343      symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
3344      Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
3345      symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
3346      exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)
3347
3348PH/03 The body_linecount and body_zerocount variables are now exported in the
3349      local_scan API.
3350
3351PH/04 Added the $dnslist_matched variable.
3352
3353PH/05 Unset $tls_cipher and $tls_peerdn before making a connection as a client.
3354      This means they are set thereafter only if the connection becomes
3355      encrypted.
3356
3357PH/06 Added the client_condition to authenticators so that some can be skipped
3358      by clients under certain conditions.
3359
3360PH/07 The error message for a badly-placed control=no_multiline_responses left
3361      "_responses" off the end of the name.
3362
3363PH/08 Added -Mvc to output a copy of a message in RFC 2822 format.
3364
3365PH/09 Tidied the code for creating ratelimiting keys, creating them explicitly
3366      (without spaces) instead of just copying the configuration text.
3367
3368PH/10 Added the /noupdate option to the ratelimit ACL condition.
3369
3370PH/11 Added $max_received_linelength.
3371
3372PH/12 Added +ignore_defer and +include_defer to host lists.
3373
3374PH/13 Installed PCRE version 7.2. This needed some changes because of the new
3375      way in which PCRE > 7.0 is built.
3376
3377PH/14 Implemented queue_only_load_latch.
3378
3379PH/15 Removed an incorrect (int) cast when reading the value of SIZE in a
3380      MAIL command. The effect was to mangle the value on 64-bit systems.
3381
3382PH/16 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
3383
3384PH/17 Added the NOTQUIT ACL, based on a patch from Ted Cooper.
3385
3386PH/18 If a system quota error occurred while trying to create the file for
3387      a maildir delivery, the message "Mailbox is full" was not appended to the
3388      bounce if the delivery eventually timed out. Change 4.67/27 below applied
3389      only to a quota excession during the actual writing of the file.
3390
3391PH/19 It seems that peer DN values may contain newlines (and other non-printing
3392      characters?) which causes problems in log lines. The DN values are now
3393      passed through string_printing() before being added to log lines.
3394
3395PH/20 Added the "servers=" facility to MySQL and PostgreSQL lookups. (Oracle
3396      and InterBase are left for another time.)
3397
3398PH/21 Added message_body_newlines option.
3399
3400PH/22 Guard against possible overflow in moan_check_errorcopy().
3401
3402PH/23 POSIX allows open() to be a macro; guard against that.
3403
3404PH/24 If the recipient of an error message contained an @ in the local part
3405      (suitably quoted, of course), incorrect values were put in $domain and
3406      $local_part during the evaluation of errors_copy.
3407
3408
3409Exim version 4.67
3410-----------------
3411
3412MH/01 Fix for bug #448, segfault in Dovecot authenticator when interface_address
3413      is unset (happens when testing with -bh and -oMi isn't used). Thanks to
3414      Jan Srzednicki.
3415
3416PH/01 Added a new log selector smtp_no_mail, to log SMTP sessions that do not
3417      issue a MAIL command.
3418
3419PH/02 In an ACL statement such as
3420
3421        deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
3422
3423      if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
3424      127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
3425      the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
3426      The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second
3427      item. This has been fixed.
3428
3429PH/03 Added additional dnslists conditions == and =& which are different from
3430      = and & when the dns lookup returns more than one IP address.
3431
3432PH/04 Added gnutls_require_{kx,mac,protocols} to give more control over the
3433      cipher suites used by GnuTLS. These options are ignored by OpenSSL.
3434
3435PH/05 After discussion on the list, added a compile time option ENABLE_DISABLE_
3436      FSYNC, which compiles an option called disable_fsync that allows for
3437      bypassing fsync(). The documentation is heavily laced with warnings.
3438
3439SC/01 Updated eximstats to collate all SpamAssassin rejects into one bucket.
3440
3441PH/06 Some tidies to the infrastructure of the Test Suite that is concerned
3442      with the auxiliary C programs that it uses: (1) Arrange for BIND_8_COMPAT
3443      to be defined when compiling on OSX (Darwin); (2) Tidies to the Makefile,
3444      including adding "make clean"; (3) Added -fPIC when compiling the test
3445      dynamically loaded module, to get rid of a warning.
3446
3447MH/02 Fix for bug #451, causing paniclog entries to be written if a bounce
3448      message fails, move_frozen_messages = true and ignore_bounce_errors_after
3449      = 0s. The bug is otherwise harmless.
3450
3451PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of
3452      $auth1 could be overwritten, and so not correctly preserved, after a
3453      successful authentication. This usually meant that the value preserved by
3454      the server_setid option was incorrect.
3455
3456PH/08 Added $smtp_count_at_connection_start, deliberately with a long name.
3457
3458PH/09 Installed PCRE release 7.0.
3459
3460PH/10 The acl_not_smtp_start ACL was, contrary to the documentation, not being
3461      run for batched SMTP input. It is now run at the start of every message
3462      in the batch. While fixing this I discovered that the process information
3463      (output by running exiwhat) was not always getting set for -bs and -bS
3464      input. This is fixed, and it now also says "batched" for BSMTP.
3465
3466PH/11 Added control=no_pipelining.
3467
3468PH/12 Added $sending_ip_address and $sending_port (mostly Magnus Holmgren's
3469      patch, slightly modified), and move the expansion of helo_data till after
3470      the connection is made in the smtp transport (so it can use these
3471      values).
3472
3473PH/13 Added ${rfc2047d: to decoded RFC 2047 strings.
3474
3475PH/14 Added log_selector = +pid.
3476
3477PH/15 Flush SMTP output before delaying, unless control=no_delay_flush is set.
3478
3479PH/16 Add ${if forany and ${if forall.
3480
3481PH/17 Added dsn_from option to vary the From: line in DSNs.
3482
3483PH/18 Flush SMTP output before performing a callout, unless control =
3484      no_callout_flush is set.
3485
3486PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when address_retry_include_sender
3487      was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete the retry
3488      item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is now
3489      fixed.
3490
3491PH/20 Added hosts_avoid_pipelining to the smtp transport.
3492
3493PH/21 Long custom messages for fakedefer and fakereject are now split up
3494      into multiline responses in the same way that messages for "deny" and
3495      other ACL rejections are.
3496
3497PH/22 Applied Jori Hamalainen's speed-up changes and typo fixes to exigrep,
3498      with slight modification.
3499
3500PH/23 Applied sieve patches from the maintainer "tracking the latest notify
3501      draft, changing the syntax and factoring some duplicate code".
3502
3503PH/24 When the log selector "outgoing_port" was set, the port was shown as -1
3504      for deliveries of the second and subsequent messages over the same SMTP
3505      connection.
3506
3507PH/25 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch for ${addresses, ${map, ${filter, and
3508      ${reduce, with only minor "tidies".
3509
3510SC/02 Applied Daniel Tiefnig's patch to improve the '($parent) =' pattern match.
3511
3512PH/26 Added a "continue" ACL modifier that does nothing, for the benefit of its
3513      expansion side effects.
3514
3515PH/27 When a message times out after an over-quota error from an Exim-imposed
3516      quota, the bounce message says "mailbox is full". This message was not
3517      being given when it was a system quota that was exceeded. It now should
3518      be the same.
3519
3520MH/03 Made $recipients available in local_scan(). local_scan() already has
3521      better access to the recipient list through recipients_list[], but
3522      $recipients can be useful in postmaster-provided expansion strings.
3523
3524PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct
3525      in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the
3526      address, for example: MAIL FROM:<foo@bar> SIZE=1234. The option settings
3527      were accidentally chopped off.
3528
3529PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
3530      there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
3531      any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
3532      some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
3533      arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
3534      HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
3535      pipelining has not been advertised.
3536
3537PH/30 MH's patch to allow iscntrl() characters to be list separators.
3538
3539PH/31 Unlike :fail:, a custom message specified with :defer: was not being
3540      returned in the SMTP response when smtp_return_error_details was false.
3541      This has been fixed.
3542
3543PH/32 Change the Dovecot authenticator to use read() and write() on the socket
3544      instead of the C I/O that was originally supplied, because problems were
3545      reported on Solaris.
3546
3547PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
3548      Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
3549      SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
3550      no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
3551      was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
3552      changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
3553      error. Exim's code has been fixed.
3554
3555PH/34 Change HDA_SIZE in oracle.c from 256 to 512. This is needed for 64-bit
3556      cpus.
3557
3558PH/35 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which fixes a bug in "notify".
3559
3560PH/36 Applied John Jetmore's patch to add -v functionality to exigrep.
3561
3562PH/37 If a message is not accepted after it has had an id assigned (e.g.
3563      because it turns out to be too big or there is a timeout) there is no
3564      "Completed" line in the log. When some messages of this type were
3565      selected by exigrep, they were listed as "not completed". Others were
3566      picked up by some special patterns. I have improved the selection
3567      criteria to be more general.
3568
3569PH/38 The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router can now be set
3570      to "ignore", to completely ignore a host whose IP address cannot be
3571      found. If all hosts are ignored, the behaviour is controlled by the new
3572      host_all_ignored option.
3573
3574PH/39 In a list of hosts for manualroute, if one item (either because of multi-
3575      homing or because of multiple MX records with /mx) generated more than
3576      one IP address, and the following item turned out to be the local host,
3577      all the secondary addresses of the first item were incorrectly removed
3578      from the list, along with the local host and any following hosts (which
3579      is what is supposed to happen).
3580
3581PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of
3582      whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was
3583      behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
3584      started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
3585      calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
3586      uses the Exim user.
3587
3588PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a
3589      message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad
3590      sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
3591      with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
3592      RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
3593      intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their
3594      users.
3595
3596PH/42 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
3597
3598SC/02 Eximstats - Differentiate between permanent and temporary rejects.
3599      Eximstats - Fixed some broken HTML links and added missing column headers
3600                  (Jez Hancock).
3601      Eximstats - Fixed Grand Total Summary Domains, Edomains, and Email
3602                  columns for Rejects, Temp Rejects, Ham, and Spam rows.
3603
3604SC/03 Eximstats - V1.58 Fix to get <> and blackhole to show in edomain tables.
3605
3606PH/43 Yet another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
3607
3608PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending
3609      the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
3610      case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
3611      (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
3612      any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
3613      to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
3614      either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
3615      the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
3616      would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.
3617      This could lead to message repetition. This fix should cure that, at
3618      least in a lot of common cases.
3619
3620PH/45 Do not advertise STARTTLS in response to HELP unless it would be
3621      advertised in response to EHLO.
3622
3623
3624Exim version 4.66
3625-----------------
3626
3627PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
3628      fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
3629
3630      (i)  An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
3631           operators. This behaviour has been restored.
3632
3633      (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
3634           their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
3635           starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
3636
3637      While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
3638      hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
3639      and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
3640      The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
3641      decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.
3642
3643
3644Exim version 4.65
3645-----------------
3646
3647TK/01 Disable default definition of HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE. Clashes with
3648      Linux large file support (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) on older glibc
3649      versions. (#438)
3650
3651MH/01 Don't check that the operands of numeric comparison operators are
3652      integers when their expansion is in "skipping" mode (fixes bug
3653      introduced by 4.64-PH/07).
3654
3655PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
3656      child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
3657      is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
3658      large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
3659      (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
3660      rather than extend the field.
3661
3662
3663Exim version 4.64
3664-----------------
3665
3666TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
3667      leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
3668      While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
3669      filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
3670      these files.
3671
3672TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
3673      processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
3674      triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
3675
3676TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
3677      in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
3678      hence the _LINUX specificness.
3679
3680TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,
3681      there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any
3682      header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
3683      in the field name.
3684
3685PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3686      callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3687      is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3688      verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3689      the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3690      case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3691      rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3692      address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3693      Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3694      left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3695      RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).
3696
3697PH/02 Tidied a number of unused variable and signed/unsigned warnings that
3698      gcc 4.1.1 threw up.
3699
3700PH/03 On Solaris, an unexpectedly close socket (dropped connection) can
3701      manifest itself as EPIPE rather than ECONNECT. When tidying away a
3702      session, the daemon ignores ECONNECT errors and logs others; it now
3703      ignores EPIPE as well.
3704
3705PH/04 Applied Nico Erfurth's refactoring patch to tidy up mime.c
3706      (quoted-printable decoding).
3707
3708PH/05 Applied Nico Erfurth's refactoring patch to tidy up spool_mbox.c, and
3709      later the small subsequent patch to fix an introduced bug.
3710
3711PH/06 Installed the latest Cygwin Makefile from the Cygwin maintainer.
3712
3713PH/07 There was no check for overflow in expansions such as ${if >{1}{4096M}}.
3714
3715PH/08 An error is now given if message_size_limit is specified negative.
3716
3717PH/09 Applied and tidied up Jakob Hirsch's patch for allowing ACL variables
3718      to be given (somewhat) arbitrary names.
3719
3720JJ/01 exipick 20060919.0, allow for arbitrary acl_ variables introduced
3721      in 4.64-PH/09.
3722
3723JJ/02 exipick 20060919.0, --show-vars args can now be regular expressions,
3724      miscellaneous code fixes
3725
3726PH/10 Added the log_reject_target ACL modifier to specify where to log
3727      rejections.
3728
3729PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
3730      hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
3731      probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3732      callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3733      changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3734      instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3735      there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
3736      addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.
3737
3738PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
3739      tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
3740      (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3741          overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3742          function.
3743      (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3744          hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3745      (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3746          Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3747      (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3748      (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3749          service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3750          interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3751          changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.
3752
3753PH/13 Added $message_headers_raw to provide the headers without RFC 2047
3754      decoding.
3755
3756PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
3757      address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3758      -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3759      successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3760      with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3761      failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3762      with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3763      parentage before showing the successful verification of C.
3764
3765PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to
3766      look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
3767      list.
3768
3769PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3770      RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3771      they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3772      wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3773      cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3774      To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3775      host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3776      containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3777      sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3778      transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3779      host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3780      of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3781      (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).
3782
3783PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3784      spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3785      switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3786      overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3787      Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3788      str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3789      character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.
3790
3791PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3792      flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3793      turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3794      set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3795      be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3796      verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3797      came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3798      while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3799      the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3800      trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.
3801
3802PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3803      with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3804      came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3805      but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3806      code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.
3807
3808PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3809      feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3810      embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3811      only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3812      always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3813      effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3814      RSA_EXPORT functionality.
3815
3816PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
3817      authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
3818      (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
3819      to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3820      if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3821      local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3822      been verified.
3823
3824PH/22 As suggested by Dennis Davis, added a server_condition option to *all*
3825      authenticators. This can be used for authorization after authentication
3826      succeeds. (In the case of plaintext, it servers for both authentication
3827      and authorization.)
3828
3829PH/23 Testing for tls_required and lost_connection in a retry rule didn't work
3830      if any retry times were supplied.
3831
3832PH/24 Exim crashed if verify=helo was activated during an incoming -bs
3833      connection, where there is no client IP address to check. In this
3834      situation, the verify now always succeeds.
3835
3836PH/25 Applied John Jetmore's -Mset patch.
3837
3838PH/26 Added -bem to be like -Mset, but loading a message from a file.
3839
3840PH/27 In a string expansion for a processed (not raw) header when multiple
3841      headers of the same name were present, leading whitespace was being
3842      removed from all of them, but trailing whitespace was being removed only
3843      from the last one. Now trailing whitespace is removed from each header
3844      before concatenation. Completely empty headers in a concatenation (as
3845      before) are ignored.
3846
3847PH/28 Fixed bug in backwards-compatibility feature of PH/09 (thanks to John
3848      Jetmore). It would have mis-read ACL variables from pre-4.61 spool files.
3849
3850PH/29 [Removed. This was a change that I later backed out, and forgot to
3851      correct the ChangeLog entry (that I had efficiently created) before
3852      committing the later change.]
3853
3854PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3855      address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3856      messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3857      so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3858      for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3859      hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3860      the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3861      of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3862      was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3863
3864      (i)  If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3865           of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3866           for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3867           candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3868           successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3869           reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3870           This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3871           previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3872           harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3873
3874      (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3875           routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3876           hammering the server.
3877
3878PH/31 Installed Andrew Findlay's patch to close the writing end of the socket
3879      in ${readsocket because some servers need this prod.
3880
3881PH/32 Added some extra debug output when updating a wait-xxx database.
3882
3883PH/33 The hint "could be header name not terminated by colon", which has been
3884      given for certain expansion errors for a long time, was not being given
3885      for the ${if def:h_colon_omitted{...  case.
3886
3887PH/34 The spec says: "With one important exception, whenever a domain list is
3888      being scanned, $domain contains the subject domain." There was at least
3889      one case where this was not true.
3890
3891PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
3892      written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
3893      panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
3894      removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3895      fails.
3896
3897PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3898      runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3899      that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3900      message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
3901      things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
3902      server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3903      I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3904      based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3905      can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3906      smtp transport.
3907
3908PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the
3909      remote server are returned as part of bounce messages. This was not
3910      happening for LMTP over a pipe (the lmtp transport), but now it is the
3911      same for both kinds of LMTP.
3912
3913PH/38 Despite being documented as not happening, Exim was rewriting addresses
3914      in header lines that were in fact CNAMEs. This is no longer the case.
3915
3916PH/39 If -R or -S was given with -q<time>, the effect of -R or -S was ignored,
3917      and queue runs started by the daemon processed all messages. This has
3918      been fixed so that -R and -S can now usefully be given with -q<time>.
3919
3920PH/40 Import PCRE release 6.7 (fixes some bugs).
3921
3922PH/41 Add bitwise logical operations to eval (courtesy Brad Jorsch).
3923
3924PH/42 Give an error if -q is specified more than once.
3925
3926PH/43 Renamed the variables $interface_address and $interface_port as
3927      $received_ip_address and $received_port, to make it clear that these
3928      values apply to message reception, and not to the outgoing interface when
3929      a message is delivered. (The old names remain recognized, of course.)
3930
3931PH/44 There was no timeout on the connect() call when using a Unix domain
3932      socket in the ${readsocket expansion. There now is.
3933
3934PH/45 Applied a modified version of Brad Jorsch's patch to allow "message" to
3935      be meaningful with "accept".
3936
3937SC/01 Eximstats V1.43
3938     Bug fix for V1.42 with -h0 specified. Spotted by Chris Lear.
3939
3940SC/02 Eximstats V1.44
3941      Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in the generated
3942      parser. This improves both readability and performance.
3943
3944SC/03 Eximstats V1.45 (Marco Gaiarin / Steve Campbell)
3945      Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics.
3946      Don't display local sender or destination tables unless
3947      there is data to show.
3948      Added average volumes into the top table text output.
3949
3950SC/04 Eximstats V1.46
3951      Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients)
3952      as well as the number of messages.
3953
3954SC/05 Eximstats V1.47
3955      Added 'Message too big' to the list of mail rejection
3956      reasons (thanks to Marco Gaiarin).
3957
3958SC/06 Eximstats V1.48
3959      Mainlog lines which have GMT offsets and are too short to
3960      have a flag are now skipped.
3961
3962SC/07 Eximstats V1.49 (Alain Williams)
3963      Added the -emptyok flag.
3964
3965SC/08 Eximstats V1.50
3966      Fixes for obtaining the IP address from reject messages.
3967
3968JJ/03 exipick.20061117.2, made header handling as similar to exim as possible
3969      (added [br]h_ prefixes, implemented RFC2047 decoding.  Fixed
3970      whitespace changes from 4.64-PH/27
3971
3972JJ/04 exipick.20061117.2, fixed format and added $message_headers_raw to
3973      match 4.64-PH/13
3974
3975JJ/05 exipick.20061117.2, bug fixes (error out sooner when invalid criteria
3976      are found, allow negative numbers in numeric criteria)
3977
3978JJ/06 exipick.20061117.2, added new $message_body_missing variable
3979
3980JJ/07 exipick.20061117.2, added $received_ip_address and $received_port
3981      to match changes made in 4.64-PH/43
3982
3983PH/46 Applied Jori Hamalainen's patch to add features to exiqsumm.
3984
3985PH/47 Put in an explicit test for a DNS lookup of an address record where the
3986      "domain" is actually an IP address, and force a failure. This locks out
3987      those revolvers/nameservers that support "A-for-A" lookups, in
3988      contravention of the specifications.
3989
3990PH/48 When a host name was looked up from an IP address, and the subsequent
3991      forward lookup of the name timed out, the host name was left in
3992      $sender_host_name, contrary to the specification.
3993
3994PH/49 Although default lookup types such as lsearch* or cdb*@ have always been
3995      restricted to single-key lookups, Exim was not diagnosing an error if
3996      * or *@ was used with a query-style lookup.
3997
3998PH/50 Increased the value of DH_BITS in tls-gnu.c from 768 to 1024.
3999
4000MH/01 local_scan ABI version incremented to 1.1. It should have been updated
4001      long ago, but noone interested enough thought of it. Let's just say that
4002      the "1.1" means that there are some new functions that weren't there at
4003      some point in the past.
4004
4005PH/51 Error processing for expansion failure of helo_data from an smtp
4006      transport during callout processing was broken.
4007
4008PH/52 Applied John Jetmore's patch to allow tls-on-connect and STARTTLS to be
4009      tested/used via the -bh/-bhc/-bs options.
4010
4011PH/53 Added missing "#include <time.h>" to pcre/pcretest.c (this was a PCRE
4012      bug, fixed in subsequent PCRE releases).
4013
4014PH/54 Applied Robert Bannocks' patch to avoid a problem with references that
4015      arises when using the Solaris LDAP libraries (but not with OpenLDAP).
4016
4017PH/55 Check for a ridiculously long file name in exim_dbmbuild.
4018
4019
4020Exim version 4.63
4021-----------------
4022
4023SC/01 Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in eximstats generated
4024      parser. This improves both readability and performance.
4025
4026SC/02 Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics in eximstats.
4027      Don't display local sender or destination tables in eximstats unless
4028      there is data to show.
4029      Added average volumes into the eximstats top table text output.
4030
4031SC/03 Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients) as well
4032      as the number of messages in eximstats.
4033
4034TF/01 Correct an error in the documentation for the redirect router. Exim
4035      does (usually) call initgroups() when daemonizing.
4036
4037TF/02 Call initgroups() when dropping privilege in exim.c, so that Exim runs
4038      with consistent privilege compared to when running as a daemon.
4039
4040TF/03 Note in the spec that $authenticated_id is not set for local
4041      submissions from trusted users.
4042
4043TF/04 The ratelimit per_rcpt option now works correctly in acl_not_smtp.
4044      Thanks to Dean Brooks <dean@iglou.com> for the patch.
4045
4046TF/05 Make it easier to get SMTP authentication and TLS/SSL support working
4047      by adding some example configuration directives to the default
4048      configuration file. A little bit of work is required to uncomment the
4049      directives and define how usernames and passwords are checked, but
4050      there is now a framework to start from.
4051
4052PH/01 Added #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 to ldap.c because some of the "old"
4053      functions that Exim currently uses aren't defined in ldap.h for OpenLDAP
4054      without this. I don't know how relevant this is to other LDAP libraries.
4055
4056PH/02 Add the verb name to the "unknown ACL verb" error.
4057
4058PH/03 Magnus Holmgren's patch for filter_prepend_home.
4059
4060PH/03 Fixed Bugzilla #101: macro definition between ACLs doesn't work.
4061
4062PH/04 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch to fix Bugzilla #98: transport's home
4063      directory not expanded when it should be if an expanded home directory
4064      was set for the address (which is overridden by the transport).
4065
4066PH/05 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch to fix Bugzilla #99: a problem with
4067      libradius.
4068
4069PH/06 Added acl_not_smtp_start, based on Johannes Berg's patch, and set the
4070      bit to forbid control=suppress_local_fixups in the acl_not_smtp ACL,
4071      because it is too late at that time, and has no effect.
4072
4073PH/07 Changed ${quote_pgsql to quote ' as '' instead of \' because of a
4074      security issue with \' (bugzilla #107). I could not use the
4075      PQescapeStringConn() function, because it needs a PGconn value as one of
4076      its arguments.
4077
4078PH/08 When testing addresses using -bt, indicate those final addresses that
4079      are duplicates that would not cause an additional delivery. At least one
4080      person was confused, thinking that -bt output corresponded to deliveries.
4081      (Suppressing duplicates isn't a good idea as you lose the information
4082      about possibly different redirections that led to the duplicates.)
4083
4084PH/09 Applied patch from Erik to use select() instead of poll() in spam.c on
4085      systems where poll() doesn't work, in particular OS X.
4086
4087PH/10 Added more information to debugging output for retry time not reached.
4088
4089PH/11 Applied patch from Arkadiusz Miskiewicz to apply a timeout to read
4090      operations in malware.c.
4091
4092PH/12 Applied patch from Magnus Holmgren to include the "h" tag in Domain Keys
4093      signatures.
4094
4095PH/13 If write_rejectlog was set false when logging was sent to syslog with
4096      syslog_duplication set false, log lines that would normally be written
4097      both the the main log and to the reject log were not written to syslog at
4098      all.
4099
4100PH/14 In the default configuration, change the use of "message" in ACL warn
4101      statements to "add_header".
4102
4103PH/15 Diagnose a filter syntax error for "seen", "unseen", or "noerror" if not
4104      not followed by a command (e.g. "seen endif").
4105
4106PH/16 Recognize SMTP codes at the start of "message" in ACLs and after :fail:
4107      and :defer: in a redirect router. Add forbid_smtp_code to suppress the
4108      latter.
4109
4110PH/17 Added extra conditions to the default value of delay_warning_condition
4111      so that it is now:
4112
4113        ${if or { \
4114            { !eq{$h_list-id:$h_list-post:$h_list-subscribe:}{} } \
4115            { match{$h_precedence:}{(?i)bulk|list|junk} } \
4116            { match{$h_auto-submitted:}{(?i)auto-generated|auto-replied} } \
4117            }{no}{yes}}
4118
4119      The Auto-Submitted: and various List- headers are standardised, whereas I
4120      don't think Precedence: ever was.
4121
4122PH/18 Refactored debugging code in route_finduser() to show more information,
4123      in particular, the error code if getpwnam() issues one.
4124
4125PH/19 Added PQsetClientEncoding(conn, "SQL_ASCII") to the pgsql code module.
4126      This is apparently needed in addition to the PH/07 change above to avoid
4127      any possible encoding problems.
4128
4129PH/20 Perl can change the locale. Exim was resetting it after a ${perl call,
4130      but not after initializing Perl.
4131
4132PH/21 Added a call to PQsetNoticeProcessor() to catch pgsql "notices" and
4133      output them only if debugging. By default they are written stderr,
4134      apparently, which is not desirable.
4135
4136PH/22 Added Alain Williams' LDAP patch to support setting REFERRALS=off on
4137      queries.
4138
4139JJ/01 exipick: added --reverse (and -R synonym), --random, --size, --sort and
4140      --not options
4141
4142JJ/02 exipick: rewrote --help documentation to hopefully make more clear.
4143
4144PH/23 Made -oMaa and -oMt work with -bh and -bs to pretend the connection is
4145      authenticated or an ident call has been made. Suppress the default
4146      values for $authenticated_id and $authenticated_sender (but permit -oMai
4147      and -oMas) when testing with -bh.
4148
4149PH/24 Re-jigged the order of the tests in the default configuration so that the
4150      tests for valid domains and recipients precede the DNS black list and CSA
4151      tests, on the grounds that those ones are more expensive.
4152
4153PH/25 Exim was not testing for a space following SMTP commands such as EHLO
4154      that require one. Thus, EHLORHUBARB was interpreted as a valid command.
4155      This bug exists in every version of Exim that I still have, right back to
4156      0.12.
4157
4158PH/26 (n)wildlsearch lookups are documented as being done case-insensitively.
4159      However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by
4160      including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already
4161      lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a
4162      one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected.
4163
4164
4165Exim version 4.62
4166-----------------
4167
4168TF/01 Fix the add_header change below (4.61 PH/55) which had a bug that (amongst
4169      other effects) broke the use of negated acl sub-conditions.
4170
4171PH/01 ${readsocket now supports Internet domain sockets (modified John Jetmore
4172      patch).
4173
4174PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
4175      "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
4176      Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
4177      tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
4178      kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
4179      Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
4180      554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
4181      if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
4182      451 error is used.
4183
4184PH/03 Add -lutil to the default FreeBSD LIBS setting.
4185
4186PH/04 Change PH/19 for 4.61 was too wide. It should not be applied to host
4187      errors. Otherwise a message that provokes a temporary error (when other
4188      messages do not) can cause a whole host to time out.
4189
4190PH/05 Batch deliveries by appendfile and pipe transports did not work when the
4191      addresses were routed directly to files or pipes from a redirect router.
4192      File deliveries just didn't batch; pipe deliveries might have suffered
4193      odd errors.
4194
4195PH/06 A failure to get a lock for a hints database would erroneously always say
4196      "Failed to get write lock", even when it was really a read lock.
4197
4198PH/07 The appendfile transport was creating MBX lock files with a fixed mode
4199      of 0600. This has been changed to use the value of the lockfile_mode
4200      option (which defaults to 0600).
4201
4202PH/08 Applied small patch from the Sieve maintainer.
4203
4204PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
4205      folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
4206      up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
4207      used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
4208      was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
4209      excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
4210      processing for deliveries into excluded directories.
4211
4212PH/10 Added the maildirfolder_create_regex option to appendfile.
4213
4214
4215Exim version 4.61
4216-----------------
4217
4218PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
4219      system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
4220      systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
4221      code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
4222      IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
4223      that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
4224      addresses as local.
4225
4226PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@
4227      [ipv6:....] because it didn't know about the "ipv6:" prefix.
4228
4229PH/03 Added disable_ipv6.
4230
4231PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the
4232      decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers
4233      lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
4234      invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
4235      newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
4236      grumble.
4237
4238PH/05 If group was specified without a user on a router, and no group or user
4239      was specified on a transport, the group from the router was ignored.
4240
4241PH/06 Increased the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type, and arranged
4242      for visible compile-time settings that can be used to change these
4243      numbers, for those that want even more. Backwards compatibility with old
4244      spool files has been maintained. However, going back to a previous Exim
4245      release will lost any variables that are in spool files.
4246
4247PH/07 Two small changes when running in the test harness: increase delay when
4248      passing a TCP/IP connection to a new process, in case the original
4249      process has to generate a bounce, and remove special handling of
4250      127.0.0.2 (sic), which is no longer necessary.
4251
4252PH/08 Changed debug output of dbfn_open() flags from numbers to names, so as to
4253      be the same on different OS.
4254
4255PH/09 Moved a debug statement in filter processing to avoid a race problem when
4256      testing.
4257
4258JJ/01 exipick: fixed bug where -b (brief) output option showed "Vars:"
4259      whether --show-vars was specified or not
4260
4261JJ/02 exipick: Added support for new ACL variable spool format introduced
4262      in 4.61-PH/06
4263
4264PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
4265      syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
4266      generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
4267      autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
4268      name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
4269      it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
4270      bounce message.
4271
4272PH/11 The exinext utility has a -C option for testing purposes, but although
4273      the given file was scanned by exinext itself; it wasn't being passed on
4274      when Exim was called.
4275
4276PH/12 In the smtp transport, treat an explicit ECONNRESET error the same as
4277      an end-of-file indication when reading a command response.
4278
4279PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was
4280      compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always
4281      recognized, so I have changed this. It also means that IPv4 domain
4282      literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.
4283
4284PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
4285      used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
4286      ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
4287      non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
4288      changes:
4289
4290      (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
4291          in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
4292          suitable debugging output when -d is set.
4293
4294      (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,
4295          outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs
4296          the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.
4297
4298PH/15 Minor change to Makefile for building test_host (undocumented testing
4299      feature).
4300
4301PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
4302      additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
4303      Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
4304      major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
4305      type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
4306      fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
4307      address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
4308      values from the SRV records were lost.
4309
4310PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not
4311      using the correct key (the original address) when searching the retry
4312      rules in order to find which one to use for generating the retry hint.
4313
4314PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from
4315      adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the
4316      errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
4317
4318PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
4319      failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
4320      it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
4321      message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
4322      behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
4323      "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
4324      when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
4325      "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
4326      delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.
4327      [Note: This change was subsequently modified - see PH/04 for 4.62.]
4328
4329PH/20 Added $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 to contain authentication data (as well as
4330      $1, $2, $3) because the numerical variables can be reset during some
4331      expansion items (e.g. "match"), thereby losing the authentication data.
4332
4333PH/21 Make -bV show the size of off_t variables so that the test suite can
4334      decide whether to run tests for quotas > 2G.
4335
4336PH/22 Test the values given for quota, quota_filecount, quota_warn_threshold,
4337      mailbox_size, and mailbox_filecount in the appendfile transport. If a
4338      filecount value is greater than 2G or if a quota value is greater than 2G
4339      on a system where the size of off_t is not greater than 4, a panic error
4340      is given.
4341
4342PH/23 When a malformed item such as 1.2.3/24 appears in a host list, it can
4343      never match. The debug and -bh output now contains an explicit error
4344      message indicating a malformed IPv4 address or mask.
4345
4346PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address
4347      1.2.3.4 without a mask. Now it is not recognized as an IP address, and
4348      PH/23 above applies.
4349
4350PH/25 Do not write to syslog when running in the test harness. The only
4351      occasion when this arises is a failure to open the main or panic logs
4352      (for which there is an explicit test).
4353
4354PH/26 Added the /no_tell option to "control=freeze".
4355
4356PH/27 If a host name lookup failed very early in a connection, for example, if
4357      the IP address matched host_lookup and the reverse lookup yielded a name
4358      that did not have a forward lookup, an error message of the form "no IP
4359      address found for host xxx.xxx.xxx (during SMTP connection from NULL)"
4360      could be logged. Now it outputs the IP address instead of "NULL".
4361
4362PH/28 An enabling patch from MH: add new function child_open_exim2() which
4363      allows the sender and the authenticated sender to be set when
4364      submitting a message from within Exim. Since child_open_exim() is
4365      documented for local_scan(), the new function should be too.
4366
4367PH/29 In GnuTLS, a forced expansion failure for tls_privatekey was not being
4368      ignored. In both GnuTLS and OpenSSL, an expansion of tls_privatekey that
4369      results in an empty string is now treated as unset.
4370
4371PH/30 Fix eximon buffer overflow bug (Bugzilla #73).
4372
4373PH/31 Added sender_verify_fail logging option.
4374
4375PH/32 In November 2003, the code in Exim that added an empty Bcc: header when
4376      needed by RFC 822 but not by RFC 2822 was commented out. I have now
4377      tidied the source and removed it altogether.
4378
4379PH/33 When a queue run was abandoned because the load average was too high, a
4380      log line was always written; now it is written only if the queue_run log
4381      selector is set. In addition, the log line for abandonment now contains
4382      information about the queue run such as the pid. This is always present
4383      in "start" and "stop" lines but was omitted from the "abandon" line.
4384
4385PH/34 Omit spaces between a header name and the colon in the error message that
4386      is given when verify = headers_syntax fails (if there are lots of them,
4387      the message gets confusing).
4388
4389PH/35 Change the default for dns_check_names_pattern to allow slashes within
4390      names, as there are now some PTR records that contain slashes. This check
4391      is only to protect against broken name servers that fall over on strange
4392      characters, so the fact that it applies to all lookups doesn't matter.
4393
4394PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the
4395      special code in Exim that was needed for the old test suite. For example,
4396      sorting DNS records because real resolvers return them in an arbitrary
4397      order. The new test suite's fake resolver always returns records in the
4398      same order.
4399
4400PH/37 When running in the test harness, use -odi for submitted messages (e.g.
4401      bounces) except when queue_only is set, to avoid logging races between
4402      the different processes.
4403
4404PH/38 Panic-die if .include specifies a non-absolute path.
4405
4406PH/39 A tweak to the "H" retry rule from its user.
4407
4408JJ/03 exipick: Removed parentheses from 'next' and 'last' calls that specified
4409      a label.  They prevented compilation on older perls.
4410
4411JJ/04 exipick: Refactored code to prevent implicit split to @_ which caused
4412      a warning to be raised on newish perls.
4413
4414JJ/05 exipick: Fixed bug where -bpc always showed a count of all messages
4415      on queue.  Changes to match documented behaviour of showing count of
4416      messages matching specified criteria.
4417
4418PH/40 Changed the default ident timeout from 30s to 5s.
4419
4420PH/41 Added support for the use of login_cap features, on those BSD systems
4421      that have them, for controlling the resources used by pipe deliveries.
4422
4423PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
4424      message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
4425      the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
4426      files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
4427      files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
4428      being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
4429      created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
4430      argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
4431      mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
4432      content scanning code have been changed to use this function.
4433
4434PH/43 If retry_interval_max is set greater than 24 hours, it is quietly reset
4435      to 24 hours. This avoids potential overflow problems when processing G
4436      and H retry rules. I suspect nobody ever tinkers with this value.
4437
4438PH/44 Added STRIP_COMMAND=/usr/bin/strip to the FreeBSD Makefile.
4439
4440PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
4441      challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
4442      default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
4443      received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
4444      The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
4445      they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
4446      challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
4447      the variable.
4448
4449PH/46 Messages that are created by the autoreply transport now contains a
4450      References: header, in accordance with RFCs 2822 and 3834.
4451
4452PH/47 Added authenticated_sender_force to the smtp transport.
4453
4454PH/48 The ${prvs expansion was broken on systems where time_t was long long.
4455
4456PH/49 Installed latest patch from the Sieve maintainer.
4457
4458PH/50 When an Exim quota was set without a file count quota, and mailbox_size
4459      was also set, the appendfile transport was unnecessarily scanning a
4460      directory of message files (e.g. for maildir delivery) to find the count
4461      of files (along with the size), even though it did not need this
4462      information. It now does the scan only if it needs to find either the
4463      size of the count of files.
4464
4465PH/51 Added ${time_eval: to convert Exim time strings into seconds.
4466
4467PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
4468      used in LMTP mode:
4469
4470      (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
4471      for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
4472      was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
4473      frequently, and not timed out correctly.
4474
4475      (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
4476      for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
4477      recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
4478
4479PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
4480      when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
4481      sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
4482      "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
4483      well as "retry timeout exceeded".
4484
4485PH/54 Added control=allow_auth_unadvertised, as it seems there are clients that
4486      do this, and (what is worse) MTAs that accept it.
4487
4488PH/55 Added the add_header modified to ACLs. The use of "message" with "warn"
4489      will now be deprecated.
4490
4491PH/56 New os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer.
4492
4493JJ/06 exipick: added --unsorted option to allow unsorted output in all output
4494      formats (previously only available in exim formats via -bpr, -bpru,
4495      and -bpra.  Now also available in native and exiqgrep formats)
4496
4497JJ/07 exipick: added --freeze and --thaw options to allow faster interaction
4498      with very large, slow to parse queues
4499
4500JJ/08 exipick: added ! as generic prefix to negate any criteria format
4501
4502JJ/09 exipick: miscellaneous performance enhancements (~24% improvements)
4503
4504PH/57 Tidies in SMTP dialogue display in debug output: (i) It was not showing
4505      responses to authentication challenges, though it was showing the
4506      challenges; (ii) I've removed the CR characters from the debug output for
4507      SMTP output lines.
4508
4509PH/58 Allow for the insertion of a newline as well as a space when a string
4510      is turned into more than one encoded-word during RFC 2047 encoding. The
4511      Sieve code now uses this.
4512
4513PH/59 Added the following errors that can be detected in retry rules: mail_4xx,
4514      data_4xx, lost_connection, tls_required.
4515
4516PH/60 When a VRFY deferred or FAILED, the log message rather than the user
4517      message was being sent as an SMTP response.
4518
4519PH/61 Add -l and -k options to exicyclog.
4520
4521PH/62 When verifying, if an address was redirected to one new address, so that
4522      verification continued, and the new address failed or deferred after
4523      having set something in $address_data, the value of $address_data was not
4524      passed back to the ACL. This was different to the case when no
4525      redirection occurred. The value is now passed back in both cases.
4526
4527PH/63 Changed the macro HAVE_LOGIN_CAP (see PH/41 for this release above) to
4528      HAVE_SETCLASSRESOURCES because there are different APIs in use that all
4529      use login_cap.h, so on its own it isn't the distinguishing feature. The
4530      new name refers directly to the setclassresources() function.
4531
4532PH/65 Added configuration files for NetBSD3.
4533
4534PH/66 Updated OS/Makefile-HP-UX for gcc 4.1.0 with HP-UX 11.
4535
4536PH/67 Fixed minor infelicity in the sorting of addresses to ensure that IPv6
4537      is preferred over IPv4.
4538
4539PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being
4540      honoured for bounces generated during the reception of non-SMTP messages.
4541      In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
4542      been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
4543      body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
4544      include only those that have been read before the error was detected.
4545      (In the case of an ACL rejection, they have all been read.)
4546
4547PH/69 The HTML version of the specification is now built in a directory called
4548      spec_html instead of spec.html, because the latter looks like a path with
4549      a MIME-type, and this confuses some software.
4550
4551PH/70 Catch two compiler warnings in sieve.c.
4552
4553PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
4554      function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
4555      if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
4556      socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
4557      between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
4558      the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
4559      descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
4560      not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
4561      the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
4562      this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
4563      uses, but I've fixed it anyway.
4564
4565PH/72 Make dns_again_means_nonexist apply to lookups using gethostbyname() as
4566      well as to direct DNS lookups. Otherwise the handling of names in host
4567      lists is inconsistent and therefore confusing.
4568
4569
4570Exim version 4.60
4571-----------------
4572
4573PH/01 Two changes to the default runtime configuration:
4574
4575      (1) Move the checks for relay_from_hosts and authenticated clients from
4576          after to before the (commented out) DNS black list checks.
4577
4578      (2) Add control=submission to the relay_from_hosts and authenticated
4579          clients checks, on the grounds that messages accepted by these
4580          statements are most likely to be submissions.
4581
4582PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck:
4583
4584      (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is
4585          not a single digit.
4586
4587      (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
4588          string.
4589
4590      (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
4591          ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
4592          because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
4593          silly things.
4594
4595      (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
4596          one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
4597
4598      (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result
4599          inside the third argument.
4600
4601PH/03 For some reason, the default setting of PATH when running a command from
4602      a pipe transport was just "/usr/bin". I have changed it to
4603      "/bin:/usr/bin".
4604
4605PH/04 SUPPORT_TRANSLATE_IP_ADDRESS and MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES did not cause
4606      anything to be listed in the output from -bV.
4607
4608PH/05 When a filter generated an autoreply, the entire To: header line was
4609      quoted in the delivery log line, like this:
4610
4611        => >A.N.Other <ano@some.domain> <original@ddress> ...
4612
4613      This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There
4614      may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like
4615      this:
4616
4617        => >ano@some.domain,ona@other.domain <original@ddress> ...
4618
4619PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
4620      command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
4621      not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
4622      IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
4623      identical. For example:
4624
4625        Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
4626
4627      However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
4628      if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
4629      doesn't show the same IP address twice.
4630
4631PH/07 When both +timestamp and +memory debugging was on, the value given by
4632      $tod_xxx expansions could be wrong, because the tod_stamp() function was
4633      called by the debug printing, thereby overwriting the timestamp buffer.
4634      Debugging no longer uses the tod_stamp() function when +timestamp is set.
4635
4636PH/08 When the original message was included in an autoreply transport, it
4637      always said "this is a copy of the message, including all the headers",
4638      even if body_only or headers_only was set. It now gives an appropriate
4639      message.
4640
4641PH/09 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which:
4642
4643      o  fixes some comments
4644      o  adds the (disabled) notify extension core
4645      o  adds some debug output for the result of if/elsif tests
4646      o  points to the current vacation draft in the documentation
4647         and documents the missing references header update
4648
4649      and most important:
4650
4651      o  fixes a bug in processing the envelope test (when testing
4652         multiple envelope elements, the last element determined the
4653         result)
4654
4655PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to
4656      Electronic Mail") by including:
4657
4658        Auto-submitted: auto-generated
4659
4660      in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
4661      warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP messages, there was
4662      also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
4663      hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
4664      to another message, thes have all been changed to:
4665
4666        Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
4667
4668      in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
4669
4670        The auto-replied keyword:
4671
4672        -  SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
4673           message by an automatic process,
4674
4675        -  MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
4676
4677        -  MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
4678           Disposition Notifications (MDNs),
4679
4680        -  MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic
4681           processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to
4682           other messages.
4683
4684PH/11 Added "${if def:sender_address {(envelope-from <$sender_address>)\n\t}}"
4685      to the default Received: header definition.
4686
4687PH/12 Added log selector acl_warn_skipped (default on).
4688
4689PH/13 After a successful wildlsearch lookup, discard the values of numeric
4690      variables because (a) they are in the wrong storage pool and (b) even if
4691      they were copied, it wouldn't work properly because of the caching.
4692
4693PH/14 Add check_rfc2047_length to disable enforcement of RFC 2047 length
4694      checking when decoding. Apparently there are clients that generate
4695      overlong encoded strings. Why am I not surprised?
4696
4697PH/15 If the first argument of "${if match_address" was not empty, but did not
4698      contain an "@" character, Exim crashed. Now it writes a panic log message
4699      and treats the condition as false.
4700
4701PH/16 In autoreply, treat an empty string for "once" the same as unset.
4702
4703PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve
4704      extension "envelope-auth".  The code is finished and in agreement with
4705      other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact,
4706      nobody wrote the draft yet.  This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
4707      not changing the active code.
4708
4709      Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This
4710      helps a great deal to understand what a filter does.
4711
4712      Document more things not specified clearly in RFC3028.  I had all this
4713      sorted out, when out of a sudden new issues came to my mind.  Oops."
4714
4715PH/18 Exim was not recognizing the "net-" search type prefix in match_ip lists
4716      (Bugzilla #53).
4717
4718PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
4719      canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
4720      the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
4721      addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4722      have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4723      addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4724      fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4725      by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4726      the text comparison.
4727
4728PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
4729      given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
4730      form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
4731      The same fix has been applied.
4732
4733
4734Exim version 4.54
4735-----------------
4736
4737PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was
4738      set to 36 (for Darwin and Cygwin), but the ${base62d: operator did not.
4739      It now does.
4740
4741PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on
4742      the CVS lines, and there was a missing #if HAVE_IPV6 in host.c.
4743
4744PH/03 Typo: missing ".o" in src/pcre/Makefile.
4745
4746PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-"
4747      header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929.
4748      Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as
4749      non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated
4750      anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.)
4751
4752TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax
4753      errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option
4754      now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters
4755      but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain
4756      or /domain=).
4757
4758PH/05 Some modifications to the interface to the fake nameserver for the new
4759      testing suite.
4760
4761
4762
4763Exim version 4.53
4764-----------------
4765
4766TK/01 Added the "success_on_redirect" address verification option. See
4767      NewStuff for rationale and an example.
4768
4769PH/01 Added support for SQLite, basic code supplied by David Woodhouse.
4770
4771PH/02 Patch to exigrep to allow it to work on syslog lines.
4772
4773PH/03 When creating an mbox file for a virus/spam scan, use fseek() instead of
4774      fread() to skip over the body file's header line, because in Cygwin the
4775      header line is locked and is inaccessible.
4776
4777PH/04 Added $message_exim_id, ultimately to replace $message_id (they will both
4778      co-exist for some time) to make it clear that it is the Exim ID that is
4779      referenced, not the Message-ID: header line.
4780
4781PH/05 Replaced all Tom's calls to snprintf() with calls to the internal
4782      string_format() function, because snprintf() does not exist on all
4783      operating systems.
4784
4785PH/06 The use of forbid_filter_existstest now also locks out the use of the
4786      ${stat: expansion item.
4787
4788PH/07 Changed "SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error" into "SMTP
4789      protocol synchronization error", to keep the pedants happy.
4790
4791PH/08 Arrange for USE_INET_NTOA_FIX to be set in config.h for AIX systems as
4792      well as for IRIX systems, when gcc is being used. See the host.c source
4793      file for comments.
4794
4795PH/09 Installed latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
4796
4797PH/10 Named domain lists were not working if used in a queue_smtp_domains
4798      setting.
4799
4800PH/11 Added support for the IGNOREQUOTA extension to LMTP, both to the lmtp
4801      transport and to the smtp transport in LMTP mode.
4802
4803TK/02 Remove one case of BASE64 error detection FTTB (undocumented anyway).
4804
4805PH/12 There was a missing call to search_tidyup() before the fork() in rda.c to
4806      run a filter in a subprocess. This could lead to confusion in subsequent
4807      lookups in the parent process. There should also be a search_tidyup() at
4808      the end of the subprocess.
4809
4810PH/13 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true
4811      only if the host matched helo_try_verify_hosts, which caused the
4812      verification to occur when the EHLO/HELO command was issued. The ACL just
4813      tested the remembered result. Now, if a previous verification attempt has
4814      not happened, "verify = helo" does it there and then.
4815
4816JJ/01 exipick: added $message_exim_id variable (see 4.53-PH/04)
4817
4818TK/03 Fix log output including CR from clamd.
4819
4820PH/14 A reference to $reply_address when Reply-to: was empty and From: did not
4821      exist provoked a memory error which could cause a segfault.
4822
4823PH/15 Installed PCRE 6.2
4824
4825PH/17 Defined BIND_8_COMPAT in the Darwin os.h file.
4826
4827PH/18 Reversed 4.52/PH/17 because the HP-UX user found it wasn't the cause
4828      of the problem. Specifically, suggested +O2 rather than +O1 for the
4829      HP-UX compiler.
4830
4831PH/19 Added sqlite_lock_timeout option (David Woodhouse's patch).
4832
4833PH/20 If a delivery was routed to a non-standard port by means of an SRV
4834      record, the port was not correctly logged when the outgoing_port log
4835      selector was set (it logged the transort's default port).
4836
4837PH/21 Added support for host-specific ports to manualroute, queryprogram,
4838      fallback_hosts, and "hosts" in the smtp transport.
4839
4840PH/22 If the log selector "outgoing_port" is set, the port is now also given on
4841      host errors such as "Connection refused".
4842
4843PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius
4844      authentication with radiusclient 0.4.9:
4845
4846      - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
4847      - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.
4848
4849      The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17
4850      were not taken care of correctly. The code is still untested by me (my
4851      Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of radiusclient), but it was
4852      contributed by a Radius user.
4853
4854PH/24 When doing a callout, the value of $domain wasn't set correctly when
4855      expanding the "port" option of the smtp transport.
4856
4857TK/04 MIME ACL: Fix buffer underrun that occurs when EOF condition is met
4858      while reading a MIME header. Thanks to Tom Hughes for a patch.
4859
4860PH/24 Include config.h inside local_scan.h so that configuration settings are
4861      available.
4862
4863PH/25 Make $smtp_command_argument available after all SMTP commands. This means
4864      that in an ACL for RCPT (for example), you can examine exactly what was
4865      received.
4866
4867PH/26 Exim was recognizing IPv6 addresses of the form [IPv6:....] in EHLO
4868      commands, but it was not correctly comparing the address with the actual
4869      client host address. Thus, it would show the EHLO address in Received:
4870      header lines when this was not necessary.
4871
4872PH/27 Added the % operator to ${eval:}.
4873
4874PH/28 Exim tries to create and chdir to its spool directory when it starts;
4875      it should be ignoring failures (because with -C, for example, it has lost
4876      privilege). It wasn't ignoring creation failures other than "already
4877      exists".
4878
4879PH/29 Added "crypteq" to the list of supported features that Exim outputs when
4880      -bV or -d is used.
4881
4882PH/30 Fixed (presumably very longstanding) bug in exim_dbmbuild: if it failed
4883      because an input line was too long, either on its own, or by virtue of
4884      too many continuations, the temporary file was not being removed, and the
4885      return code was incorrect.
4886
4887PH/31 Missing "BOOL" in function definition in filtertest.c.
4888
4889PH/32 Applied Sieve patches from the maintainer.
4890
4891TK/05 Domainkeys: Accomodate for a minor API change in libdomainkeys 0.67.
4892
4893PH/33 Added "verify = not_blind".
4894
4895PH/34 There are settings for CHOWN_COMMAND and MV_COMMAND that can be used in
4896      Local/Makefile (with some defaults set). These are used in built scripts
4897      such as exicyclog, but they have never been used in the exim_install
4898      script (though there are many overriding facilities there). I have
4899      arranged that the exim_install script now takes note of these two
4900      settings.
4901
4902PH/35 Installed configuration files for Dragonfly.
4903
4904PH/36 When a locally submitted message by a trusted user did not contain a
4905      From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP
4906      MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender
4907      name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From:
4908      header. Furthermore, $originator_name was used for submission mode
4909      messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way,
4910      which is clearly wrong.
4911
4912PH/37 Added control=suppress_local_fixups.
4913
4914PH/38 When log_selector = +received_sender was set, and the addition of the
4915      sender made the log line's construction buffer exactly full, or one byte
4916      less than full, an overflow happened when the terminating "\n" was
4917      subsequently added.
4918
4919PH/39 Added a new log selector, "unknown_in_list", which provokes a log entry
4920      when the result of a list match is failure because a DNS lookup failed.
4921
4922PH/40 RM_COMMAND is now used in the building process.
4923
4924PH/41 Added a "distclean" target to the top-level Makefile; it deletes all
4925      the "build-* directories that it finds.
4926
4927PH/42 (But a TF fix): In a domain list, Exim incorrectly matched @[] if the IP
4928      address in a domain literal was a prefix of an interface address.
4929
4930PH/43 (Again a TF fix): In the dnslookup router, do not apply widen_domains
4931      when verifying a sender address, unless rewrite_headers is false.
4932
4933PH/44 Wrote a long comment about why errors_to addresses are verified as
4934      recipients, not senders.
4935
4936TF/01 Add missing LIBS=-lm to OS/Makefile-OpenBSD which was overlooked when
4937      the ratelimit ACL was added.
4938
4939PH/45 Added $smtp_command for the full command (cf $smtp_command_argument).
4940
4941PH/46 Added extra information about PostgreSQL errors to the error string.
4942
4943PH/47 Added an interface to a fake DNS resolver for use by the new test suite,
4944      avoiding the need to install special zones in a real server. This is
4945      backwards compatible; if it can't find the fake resolver, it drops back.
4946      Thus, both old and new test suites can be run.
4947
4948TF/02 Added util/ratelimit.pl
4949
4950TF/03 Minor fix to the ratelimit code to improve its behaviour in case the
4951      clock is set back in time.
4952
4953TF/04 Fix the ratelimit support in exim_fixdb. Patch provided by Brian
4954      Candler <B.Candler@pobox.com>.
4955
4956TF/05 The fix for PH/43 was not completely correct; widen_domains is always
4957      OK for addresses that are the result of redirections.
4958
4959PH/48 A number of further additions for the benefit of the new test suite,
4960      including a fake gethostbyname() that interfaces to the fake DNS resolver
4961      (see PH/47 above).
4962
4963TF/06 The fix for widen_domains has also been applied to qualify_single and
4964      search_parents which are the other dnslookup options that can cause
4965      header rewrites.
4966
4967PH/49 Michael Haardt's randomized retrying, but as a separate retry parameter
4968      type ("H").
4969
4970PH/50 Make never_users, trusted_users, admin_groups, trusted_groups expandable.
4971
4972TF/07 Exim produced the error message "an SRV record indicated no SMTP
4973      service" if it encountered an MX record with an empty target hostname.
4974      The message is now "an MX or SRV record indicated no SMTP service".
4975
4976TF/08 Change PH/13 introduced the possibility that verify=helo may defer,
4977      if the DNS of the sending site is misconfigured. This is quite a
4978      common situation. This change restores the behaviour of treating a
4979      helo verification defer as a failure.
4980
4981PH/51 If self=fail was set on a router, the bounce message did not include the
4982      actual error message.
4983
4984
4985Exim version 4.52
4986-----------------
4987
4988TF/01 Added support for Client SMTP Authorization. See NewStuff for details.
4989
4990PH/01 When a transport filter timed out in a pipe delivery, and the pipe
4991      command itself ended in error, the underlying message about the transport
4992      filter timeout was being overwritten with the pipe command error. Now the
4993      underlying error message should be appended to the second error message.
4994
4995TK/01 Fix poll() being unavailable on Mac OSX 10.2.
4996
4997PH/02 Reduce the amount of output that "make" produces by default. Full output
4998      can still be requested.
4999
5000PH/03 The warning log line about a condition test deferring for a "warn" verb
5001      was being output only once per connection, rather than after each
5002      occurrence (because it was using the same function as for successful
5003      "warn" verbs). This seems wrong, so I have changed it.
5004
5005TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that
5006      it should not have, which might have caused a crash in the right
5007      circumstances, but probably never did.
5008
5009PH/04 Installed a modified version of Tony Finch's patch to make submission
5010      mode fix the return path as well as the Sender: header line, and to
5011      add a /name= option so that you can make the user's friendly name appear
5012      in the header line.
5013
5014TF/03 Added the control = fakedefer ACL modifier.
5015
5016TF/04 Added the ratelimit ACL condition. See NewStuff for details. Thanks to
5017      Mark Lowes for thorough testing.
5018
5019TK/02 Rewrote SPF support to work with libspf2 versions >1.2.0.
5020
5021TK/03 Merged latest SRS patch from Miles Wilton.
5022
5023PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
5024      with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
5025      Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
5026      preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were
5027      scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
5028      so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.
5029
5030PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
5031      in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
5032      write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
5033      This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
5034      would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
5035      doesn't have to be particularly precise.
5036
5037TK/04 Added simple SPF lookup method in EXPERIMENTAL_SPF. See NewStuff for
5038      details. Thanks to Chris Webb <chris@arachsys.com> for the patch!
5039
5040PH/07 Added "fullpostmaster" verify option, which does a check to <postmaster>
5041      without a domain if the check to <postmaster@domain> fails.
5042
5043SC/01 Eximstats: added -xls and the ability to specify output files
5044     (patch written by Frank Heydlauf).
5045
5046SC/02 Eximstats: use FileHandles for outputting results.
5047
5048SC/03 Eximstats: allow any combination of xls, txt, and html output.
5049
5050SC/04 Eximstats: fixed display of large numbers with -nvr option
5051
5052SC/05 Eximstats: fixed merging of reports with empty tables.
5053
5054SC/06 Eximstats: added the -include_original_destination flag
5055
5056SC/07 Eximstats: removed tabs and trailing whitespace.
5057
5058TK/05 Malware: Improve on aveserver error handling. Patch from Alex Miller.
5059
5060TK/06 MBOX spool code: Add real "From " MBOX separator line
5061      so the .eml file is really in mbox format (even though
5062      most programs do not really care). Patch from Alex Miller.
5063
5064TK/07 MBOX spool code: Add X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To: headers.
5065      The latter is generated from $received_to and is only set if the
5066      message has one envelope recipient. SA can use these headers,
5067      obviously out-of-the-box. Patch from Alex Miller.
5068
5069PH/08 The ${def test on a variable was returning false if the variable's
5070      value was "0", contrary to what the specification has always said!
5071      The result should be true unless the variable is empty.
5072
5073PH/09 The syntax error of a character other than { following "${if
5074      def:variable_name" (after optional whitespace) was not being diagnosed.
5075      An expansion such as ${if def:sender_ident:{xxx}{yyy}} in which an
5076      accidental colon was present, for example, could give incorrect results.
5077
5078PH/10 Tidied the code in a number of places where the st_size field of a stat()
5079      result is used (not including appendfile, where other changes are about
5080      to be made).
5081
5082PH/11 Upgraded appendfile so that quotas larger than 2G are now supported.
5083      This involved changing a lot of size variables from int to off_t. It
5084      should work with maildirs and everything.
5085
5086TK/08 Apply fix provided by Michael Haardt to prevent deadlock in case of
5087      spamd dying while we are connected to it.
5088
5089TF/05 Fixed a ${extract error message typo reported by Jeremy Harris
5090      <jgh@wizmail.org>
5091
5092PH/12 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch for the API change for the error callback
5093      function for BDB 4.3.
5094
5095PH/13 Changed auto_thaw such that it does not apply to bounce messages.
5096
5097PH/14 Imported PCRE 6.0; this was more than just a trivial operation because
5098      the sources for PCRE have been re-arranged and more files are now
5099      involved.
5100
5101PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11
5102      above was not the best (it lost precision). The length of off_t variables
5103      is now inspected at build time, and an appropriate printing format (%ld
5104      or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T
5105      to be "long long int" or "long int". This is needed for the internal
5106      formatting function string_vformat().
5107
5108PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in
5109      the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where
5110      the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our
5111      case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
5112      suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
5113      to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim
5114      with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it
5115      falls back to the previous guessing code."
5116
5117TK/09 Added "prvs" and "prvscheck" expansion items. These help a lot with
5118      implementing BATV in an Exim configuration. See NewStuff for the gory
5119      details.
5120
5121PH/17 Applied Michael Haardt's patch for HP-UX, affecting only the os.h and
5122      Makefile that are specific to HP-UX.
5123
5124PH/18 If the "use_postmaster" option was set for a recipient callout together
5125      with the "random" option, the postmaster address was used as the MAIL
5126      FROM address for the random test, but not for the subsequent recipient
5127      test. It is now used for both.
5128
5129PH/19 Applied Michael Haardt's patch to update Sieve to RFC3028bis. "The
5130      patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the
5131      latest draft now contains them. It adds the new en;ascii-case comparator
5132      and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and
5133      require names are now matched exactly. I enabled the subaddress
5134      extension, but it is not well tested yet (read: it works for me)."
5135
5136PH/20 Added macros for time_t as for off_t (see PH/15 above) and used them to
5137      rework some of the code of TK/09 above to avoid the hardwired use of
5138      "%lld" and "long long". Replaced the call to snprintf() with a call to
5139      string_vformat().
5140
5141PH/21 Added some other messages to those in 4.51/PH/42, namely "All relevant MX
5142      records point to non-existent hosts", "retry timeout exceeded", and
5143      "retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period".
5144
5145PH/22 Fixed some oversights/typos causing bugs when Exim is compiled with
5146      experimental DomainKeys support:
5147
5148      (1) The filter variables $n0-$n9 and $sn0-$sn9 were broken.
5149      (2) On an error such as an illegally used "control", the wrong name for
5150          the control was given.
5151
5152      These problems did NOT occur unless DomainKeys support was compiled.
5153
5154PH/23 Added daemon_startup_retries and daemon_startup_sleep.
5155
5156PH/24 Added ${if match_ip condition.
5157
5158PH/25 Put debug statements on either side of calls to EXIM_DBOPEN() for hints
5159      databases so that it will be absolutely obvious if a crash occurs in the
5160      DB library. This is a regular occurrence (often caused by mis-matched
5161      db.h files).
5162
5163PH/26 Insert a lot of missing (void) casts for functions such as chown(),
5164      chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were
5165      picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem
5166      to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be
5167      put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have
5168      set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due
5169      course.
5170
5171PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
5172      specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
5173      router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
5174      read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
5175      just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
5176      introduced by 4.51/PH/31.
5177
5178PH/28 Changed -d+all to exclude +memory, because that information is very
5179      rarely of interest, but it makes the output a lot bigger. People tend to
5180      do -d+all out of habit.
5181
5182PH/29 Removed support for the Linux-libc5 build, as it is obsolete and the
5183      code in os-type was giving problems when libc.so lives in lib64, like on
5184      x86_64 Fedora Core.
5185
5186PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
5187      aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
5188      don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
5189      ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
5190      record types that Exim uses.
5191
5192PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
5193      not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
5194      prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
5195      data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
5196      non-existent file that was broken.
5197
5198TK/10 Domainkeys: Fix a bug in verification that caused a crash in conjunction
5199      with a change in libdomainkeys > 0.64.
5200
5201TK/11 Domainkeys: Change the logic how the "testing" policy flag is retrieved
5202      from DNS. If the selector record carries the flag, it now has
5203      precedence over the domain-wide flag.
5204
5205TK/12 Cleared some compiler warnings related to SPF, SRS and DK code.
5206
5207PH/32 In mua_wrapper mode, if an smtp transport configuration error (such as
5208      the use of a port name that isn't defined in /etc/services) occurred, the
5209      message was deferred as in a normal delivery, and thus remained on the
5210      spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This
5211      is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the
5212      same time.
5213
5214SC/08 Eximstats: whilst parsing the mainlog(s), store information about
5215      the messages in a hash of arrays rather than using individual hashes.
5216      This is a bit cleaner and results in dramatic memory savings, albeit
5217      at a slight CPU cost.
5218
5219SC/09 Eximstats: added the -show_rt<list> and the -show_dt<list> flags
5220      as requested by Marc Sherman.
5221
5222SC/10 Eximstats: added histograms for user specified patterns as requested
5223      by Marc Sherman.
5224
5225SC/11 Eximstats: v1.43 - bugfix for pattern histograms with -h0 specified.
5226
5227PH/33 Patch from the Cygwin maintainer to add "b" to all occurences of
5228      fopen() in the content-scanning modules that did not already have it.
5229
5230
5231Exim version 4.51
5232-----------------
5233
5234TK/01 Added Yahoo DomainKeys support via libdomainkeys. See
5235      doc/experimental-spec.txt for details. (http://domainkeys.sf.net)
5236
5237TK/02 Fix ACL "control" statement not being available in MIME ACL.
5238
5239TK/03 Fix ACL "regex" condition not being available in MIME ACL.
5240
5241PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
5242      to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
5243
5244PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
5245      that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
5246      The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
5247      if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
5248      old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
5249      means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
5250      file.
5251
5252PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
5253      work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
5254      parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
5255      again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
5256      these two options.
5257
5258PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
5259      redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
5260      entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
5261      consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
5262      "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
5263      address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
5264      certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
5265      address.
5266
5267PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
5268      in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
5269
5270PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
5271      header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
5272      In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
5273      reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
5274      supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
5275      lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
5276
5277PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
5278      defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
5279      commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
5280      SMTP commands that take arguments.
5281
5282PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony
5283      Finch).
5284
5285PH/09 Previously, an attempt to use ${perl when it wasn't compiled gave an
5286      "unknown" error; now it says that the functionality isn't in the binary.
5287
5288PH/10 Added a nasty fudge to try to recognize and flatten LDAP passwords in
5289      an address' error message when a string expansion fails (syntax or
5290      whatever). Otherwise the password may appear in the log. Following change
5291      PH/42 below, there is no longer a chance of it appearing in a bounce
5292      message.
5293
5294PH/11 Installed exipick version 20050225.0 from John Jetmore.
5295
5296PH/12 If the last host in a fallback_hosts list was multihomed, only the first
5297      of its addresses was ever tried. (Bugzilla bug #2.)
5298
5299PH/13 If "headers_add" in a transport didn't end in a newline, Exim printed
5300      the result incorrectly in the debug output. (It correctly added a newline
5301      to what was transported.)
5302
5303TF/01 Added $received_time.
5304
5305PH/14 Modified the default configuration to add an acl_smtp_data ACL, with
5306      commented out examples of how to interface to a virus scanner and to
5307      SpamAssassin. Also added commented examples of av_scanner and
5308      spamd_address settings.
5309
5310PH/15 Further to TK/02 and TK/03 above, tidied up the tables of what conditions
5311      and controls are allowed in which ACLs. There were a couple of minor
5312      errors. Some of the entries in the conditions table (which is a table of
5313      where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a
5314      negation of where the condition IS allowed.
5315
5316PH/16 Installed updated OS/os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer.
5317
5318PH/17 The API for radiusclient changed at release 0.4.0. Unfortunately, the
5319      header file does not have a version number, so I've had to invent a new
5320      value for RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, namely "RADIUSCLIENTNEW" to request the new
5321      API. The code is untested by me (my Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of
5322      radiusclient), but it was contributed by a Radius user.
5323
5324PH/18 Installed Lars Mainka's patch for the support of CRL collections in
5325      files or directories, for OpenSSL.
5326
5327PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
5328      file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
5329      ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
5330      the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
5331      fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
5332      for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
5333      run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
5334      for failure.
5335
5336PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
5337      the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
5338      from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
5339      the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
5340      string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
5341      (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
5342      There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
5343      "input=".
5344
5345PH/21 Added acl_not_smtp_mime to allow for MIME scanning for non-SMTP messages.
5346
5347PH/22 Added support for macro redefinition, and (re)definition in between
5348      driver and ACL definitions.
5349
5350PH/23 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was expanding server_hostname, but then
5351      forgetting to use the resulting value; it was using the unexpanded value.
5352
5353PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
5354      hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
5355      understands it better than I do:
5356
5357      "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
5358      authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
5359
5360      On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
5361      This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
5362      => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
5363      => three warnings about OTP not working
5364      => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
5365
5366      With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times.  But now
5367      SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
5368      authenticator.  Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
5369      gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
5370      for each call.)
5371      => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
5372      nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
5373
5374      I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
5375      unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
5376      caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."
5377
5378PH/25 When debugging is enabled, the contents of the command line are added
5379      to the debugging output, even when log_selector=+arguments is not
5380      specified.
5381
5382PH/26 Change scripts/os-type so that when "uname -s" returns just "GNU", the
5383      answer is "GNU", and only if the return is "GNU/something" is the answer
5384      "Linux".
5385
5386PH/27 $acl_verify_message is now set immediately after the failure of a
5387      verification in an ACL, and so is available in subsequent modifiers. In
5388      particular, the message can be preserved by coding like this:
5389
5390         warn  !verify = sender
5391               set acl_m0 = $acl_verify_message
5392
5393      Previously, $acl_verify_message was set only while expanding "message"
5394      and "log_message" when a very denied access.
5395
5396PH/28 Modified OS/os.c-Linux with
5397
5398        -#ifndef OS_LOAD_AVERAGE
5399        +#if !defined(OS_LOAD_AVERAGE) && defined(__linux__)
5400
5401      to make Exim compile on kfreebsd-gnu. (I'm totally confused about the
5402      nomenclature these days.)
5403
5404PH/29 Installed patch from the Sieve maintainer that adds the options
5405      sieve_useraddress and sieve_subaddress to the redirect router.
5406
5407PH/30 In these circumstances:
5408        . Two addresses routed to the same list of hosts;
5409        . First host does not offer TLS;
5410        . First host accepts first address;
5411        . First host gives temporary error to second address;
5412        . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established;
5413        . Second host accepts second address.
5414      Exim incorrectly logged both deliveries with the TLS parameters (cipher
5415      and peerdn, if requested) that were in fact used only for the second
5416      address.
5417
5418PH/31 When doing a callout as part of verifying an address, Exim was not paying
5419      attention to any local part prefix or suffix that was matched by the
5420      router that accepted the address. It now behaves in the same way as it
5421      does for delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless
5422      rcpt_include_affixes is set on the transport.
5423
5424PH/32 Add the sender address, as F=<...>, to the log line when logging a
5425      timeout during the DATA phase of an incoming message.
5426
5427PH/33 Sieve envelope tests were broken for match types other than :is. I have
5428      applied a patch sanctioned by the Sieve maintainer.
5429
5430PH/34 Change 4.50/80 broke Exim in that it could no longer handle cases where
5431      the uid or gid is negative. A case of a negative gid caused this to be
5432      noticed. The fix allows for either to be negative.
5433
5434PH/35 ACL_WHERE_MIME is now declared unconditionally, to avoid too much code
5435      clutter, but the tables that are indexed by ACL_WHERE_xxx values had been
5436      overlooked.
5437
5438PH/36 The change PH/12 above was broken. Fixed it.
5439
5440PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
5441      the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
5442      same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
5443      longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
5444      routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
5445      went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
5446      behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
5447
5448      I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
5449      Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
5450      transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
5451      done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
5452      presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
5453
5454      For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
5455      still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
5456      routed further.
5457
5458PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner.
5459      It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
5460      background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
5461      connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
5462      spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
5463      blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."
5464
5465PH/39 Allow G after quota size as well as K and M.
5466
5467PH/40 The value set for $authenticated_id in an authenticator may not contain
5468      binary zeroes or newlines because the value is written to log lines and
5469      to spool files. There was no check on this. Now the value is run through
5470      the string_printing() function so that such characters are converted to
5471      printable escape sequences.
5472
5473PH/41 $message_linecount is a new variable that contains the total number of
5474      lines in the message. Compare $body_linecount, which is the count for the
5475      body only.
5476
5477PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
5478      bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
5479      are as follows:
5480
5481      (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
5482      (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
5483      (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
5484      (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
5485      (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
5486
5487      In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
5488      warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
5489      as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.
5490
5491PH/43 $value is now also set for the "else" part of a ${run expansion.
5492
5493PH/44 Applied patch from the Sieve maintainer: "The vacation draft is still
5494      being worked on, but at least Exim now implements the latest version to
5495      play with."
5496
5497PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
5498      process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
5499      writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
5500      successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
5501      consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
5502      treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
5503      there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
5504      timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
5505      both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
5506      the log output.
5507
5508PH/46 The "scripts/Configure-config.h" script calls "make" at one point. On
5509      systems where "make" and "gmake" are different, calling "gmake" at top
5510      level broke things. I've arranged for the value of $(MAKE) to be passed
5511      from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of
5512      "make".
5513
5514
5515A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
5516----------------------------------------
5517
5518Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
5519changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
5520needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
5521in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
5522that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
5523release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
5524from 4.43.
5525
5526I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
55274.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
5528those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
5529historical information.
5530
5531
5532Exim version 4.50
5533-----------------
5534
5535 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5536
5537 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the
5538    computation of the current number of files was incorrect.
5539
5540 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5541    bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5542    place.
5543
5544 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5545    filter fails to execute.
5546
5547 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5548    subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5549    was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5550    now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5551    filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5552
5553 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
5554
5555 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5556    descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5557    unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5558    systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5559
5560 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5561    was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5562    controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5563    "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5564    control that does not make sense is encountered.
5565
5566 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission".
5567
556810. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5569
557011. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5571    received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5572    failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5573    cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5574
557512. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5576    of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5577    sender verification.
5578
557913. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
5580    $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.
5581
558214. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.
5583
558415. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different
5585    connection timeout.
5586
558716. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5588    was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5589
559017. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5591    the spool by the -Mrm option.
5592
559318. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
5594    information about exactly what failed.
5595
559619. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.
5597
559820. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
5599    handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
5600    CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).
5601
560221. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
5603    It is now set to "smtps".
5604
560522. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5606    ignore_target_hosts.
5607
560823. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5609    being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5610    matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5611    since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5612    "[x.x.x.x]".
5613
561424. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5615    code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5616    modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5617
561825. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5619    SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5620    wake it up if nothing else does.
5621
562226. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5623    for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5624    The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5625    end up negative.
5626
562727. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5628    support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5629
563028. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
5631
563229. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
5633    subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
5634    empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
5635    because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
5636    database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
5637    lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
5638    contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
5639    address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
5640
564130. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
5642    host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
5643    than one IP address.
5644
564531. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
5646    function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
5647    is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
5648    $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
5649
565032. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5651    such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5652    encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5653    generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5654    have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5655    1024 to 2048 bytes.
5656
565733. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
5658    condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
5659    is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
5660    cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
5661
566234. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5663    there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5664    respected.
5665
566635. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5667    canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5668    $sender_host_address.
5669
567036. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
5671    "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
5672    that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
5673    for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
5674    per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
5675    very small.
5676
567737. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
5678
5679    (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
5680        finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
5681
5682    (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
5683        just the host names, not the priorities.
5684
5685    (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
5686        looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
5687        controlled by a keyword.
5688
5689    (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
5690        multiple records are returned.
5691
569238. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
5693    a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
5694    domain.
5695
569639. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
5697
569840. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
5699    delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
5700
570141. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5702    to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5703    of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
5704
570542. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
5706
570743. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
5708
570944. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
5710
571145. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5712    transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5713    < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5714    introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5715    because the tests only now provoked it.
5716
571746. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5718    (this can affect the format of dates).
5719
572047. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5721    which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5722    messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5723    deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
5724
572548. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
5726
572749. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5728    on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5729    contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5730    was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
5731
573250. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5733    (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5734    AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
5735
573651. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5737    autoreply.
5738
573952. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5740    recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5741    as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5742    increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5743    happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5744    have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5745    is going on).
5746
574753. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5748    the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5749    was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5750    the line.
5751
575254. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5753    patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5754    create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5755
5756      "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5757      Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5758      Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5759      of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5760      But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5761      so I produce this patch..."
5762
5763    Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5764    REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5765    is not defined.
5766
576755. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5768    keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5769    dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5770    leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
5771    CAN-2005-0021
5772
577356. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
5774
577557. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
5776    long debug lines gets shown.
5777
577858. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
5779    exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
5780
578159. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5782
5783      (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5784      (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5785          of $primary_hostname.
5786
578760. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5788    to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5789    not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5790    if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5791    from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5792    components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5793    by change 4.50/55 above.
5794
5795    If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5796    itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5797    data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5798    exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5799    find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5800    running as the user.
5801    CAN-2005-0021
5802
580361. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5804    (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5805    spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
5806    CAN-2005-0022
5807
580862. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
5809    os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
5810
581163. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5812    need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5813    deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5814    necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5815    when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5816
581764. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5818    This has been fixed.
5819
582065. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5821    was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5822    consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5823    SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5824    the caching.)
5825
582666. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5827
582867. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5829    address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5830    the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5831    work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5832
583368. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5834    with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5835
583669. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5837    negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5838    apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5839
584070. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5841    user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5842    put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5843    message there.
5844
584571. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5846    session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5847    that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5848
584972. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5850    This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5851    error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5852    check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5853
585473. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5855    during host lookups.
5856
585774. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5858    when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5859
5860      verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5861
586275. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5863    those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5864    wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5865    could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5866    stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5867    background.
5868
586976. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5870    log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5871
587277. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5873    the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5874    for the non-SMTP ACL.
5875
587678. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5877
587879. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5879    restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5880    a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5881    connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5882    earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5883    else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5884    process earlier.
5885
588680. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5887    or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5888    It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5889    related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5890    illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5891
589281. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5893    tables).
5894
589582. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith.
5896
589783. Patch from Sieve maintainer to fix unterminated string problem in
5898    "vacation" handling.
5899
590084. Some minor changes to the Linux configuration files to help with other
5901    OS variants using glibc.
5902
590385. One more patch for Sieve to update vacation handling to latest spec.
5904
5905
5906----------------------------------------------------
5907See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5908----------------------------------------------------
5909
5910
5911Exim version 4.44
5912-----------------
5913
5914 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5915    incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5916    transport
5917
5918 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5919    bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5920    place.
5921
5922 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5923    filter fails to execute.
5924
5925 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5926    subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5927    was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5928    now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5929    filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5930
5931 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5932    descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5933    unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5934    systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5935
5936 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5937    was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5938    controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5939    "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5940    control that does not make sense is encountered.
5941
5942 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5943
5944 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5945    received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5946    failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5947    cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5948
5949 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5950    of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5951    sender verification.
5952
595310. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5954    was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5955
595611. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5957    the spool by the -Mrm option.
5958
595912. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5960    ignore_target_hosts.
5961
596213. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5963    being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5964    matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5965    since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5966    "[x.x.x.x]".
5967
596814. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5969    code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5970    modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5971
597215. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5973    SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5974    wake it up if nothing else does.
5975
597616. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5977    for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5978    The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5979    end up negative.
5980
598117. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5982    support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5983
598418. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
5985
598619. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5987    Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5988    empty pattern.
5989
599020. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5991    host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5992    one IP address.
5993
599421. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5995    such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5996    encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5997    generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5998    have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5999    1024 to 2048 bytes.
6000
600122. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
6002    there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
6003    respected.
6004
600523. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
6006    canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
6007    $sender_host_address.
6008
600924. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
6010
601125. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
6012    to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
6013    of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
6014
601526. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
6016    As per change 25.
6017
601827. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
6019    (this can affect the format of dates).
6020
602128. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
6022    which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
6023    messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
6024    deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
6025
602629. eximstats updated to version 1.35
6027    1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
6028    1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
6029
603030. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
6031    on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
6032    contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
6033    was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
6034
603531. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
6036    (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
6037    AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
6038
603931. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
6040    autoreply.
6041
604232. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
6043    recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
6044    as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
6045    increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
6046    happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
6047    have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
6048    is going on).
6049
605033. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
6051    keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
6052    dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
6053    leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
6054    CAN-2005-0021
6055
605634. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
6057    to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
6058    not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
6059    if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
6060    from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
6061    components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
6062    by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
6063
6064    If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
6065    itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
6066    data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
6067    exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
6068    find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
6069    running as the user.
6070    CAN-2005-0021
6071
607235. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
6073    (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
6074    spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
6075    CAN-2005-0022
6076
607736. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
6078    need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
6079    deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
6080    necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
6081    when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6082
608337. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
6084    was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
6085    consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
6086    SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
6087    the caching.)
6088
608938. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
6090    transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
6091    < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
6092    introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
6093    because the tests only now provoked it.
6094
6095
6096Exim version 4.43
6097-----------------
6098
6099 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
6100    PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
6101    Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
6102    return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
6103    which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
6104    failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
6105    messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
6106
6107 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
6108    message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
6109    the delivery.
6110
6111 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
6112
6113 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
6114
6115 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
6116    header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
6117    to local_scan().
6118
6119 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
6120    inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
6121    was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
6122    there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
6123    be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
6124
6125 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
6126    the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
6127
6128 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
6129
6130 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
6131
613210. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
6133    header_sender only.
6134
613511. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
6136    (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
6137
613812. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
6139    differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
6140    affecting debugging statements).
6141
614213. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
6143
614414. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
6145    same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
6146    same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
6147    remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
6148    would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
6149    after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
6150    bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
6151    in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
6152    after the received time, and all would be well.
6153
615415. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
6155    being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
6156    condition in an expansion string.
6157
615816. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
6159
616017. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
6161    processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
6162    adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
6163    errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
6164    logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
6165    job under whatever limits there are.
6166
616718. Imported PCRE 5.0.
6168
616919. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
6170    space).
6171
617220. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
6173    redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
6174    that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
6175    case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
6176    return path is set.
6177
617821. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
6179    a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
6180    string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
6181    binary data in such strings.
6182
618322. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
6184
618523. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
6186    uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
6187    setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
6188    failure, which is pointless.
6189
619024. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
6191
619225. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
6193
619426. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
6195    authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
6196    Sender: header lines.
6197
619827. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
6199    definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
6200    chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
6201
620228. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
6203    does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
6204    long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
6205    errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
6206    much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
6207    happens.
6208
620929. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
6210    has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
6211    so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
6212    there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
6213    log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
6214
621530. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
6216    delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
6217    the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
6218    1024.
6219
622031. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
6221    specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
6222
622332. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
6224    it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
6225
622633. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
6227
622832. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
6229
623033. Added an ACL for QUIT.
6231
623234. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
6233    syntax error.
6234
623535. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
6236
623736. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
6238
623937. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
6240    in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
6241    that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
6242    fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
6243
624438. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
6245    FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
6246
6247
6248Exim version 4.42
6249-----------------
6250
6251 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
6252    quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
6253    (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
6254        it was not quoted.
6255    (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
6256        tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
6257    This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
6258    separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
6259    should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
6260    since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
6261
6262 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
6263    reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
6264    verification failure".
6265
6266 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
6267    return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
6268    overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
6269    have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
6270
6271 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
6272    when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
6273    restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
6274    This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
6275    job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
6276    timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
6277    kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
6278    time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
6279    to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
6280    treated as a timeout.
6281
6282 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
6283    extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
6284    separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
6285    not set for Exim filters).
6286
6287 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
6288    local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
6289    quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
6290
6291 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
6292
6293 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
6294    try to make them clearer.
6295
6296 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
6297    verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
6298
6299      verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
6300
6301    the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
6302
630310. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
6304    only the Cygwin environment.
6305
630611. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
6307    addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
6308    remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
6309    (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
6310    the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
6311
631212. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
6313    lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
6314    field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
6315    indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
6316    uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
6317    encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
6318    names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
6319
632013. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
6321    extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
6322
632314. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
6324
6325    (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
6326    "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
6327    anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
6328
6329      To: susanne@some.where
6330
6331    This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
6332    and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
6333    are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
6334    of addresses in From: header lines).
6335
6336    (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
6337    extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
6338    taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
6339
6340    (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
6341    treated as non-personal.
6342
6343    (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
6344    because it now seems ill-conceived.
6345
634615. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
6347
634816. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
6349
635017. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
6351    string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
6352    of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
6353
635418. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
6355    ACL and the local_scan() function.
6356
635719. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
6358    the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
6359    specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
6360    default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
6361    (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
6362    (I found it when inspecting the code).
6363
636420. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
6365    defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
6366    commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
6367    than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
6368    next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
6369    hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
6370    out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
6371    additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
6372
6373      verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
6374
637521. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
6376    to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
6377
637822. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
6379    subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
6380    memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
6381
638223. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
6383    records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
6384
638524. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
6386    formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
6387    rather than long int.
6388
638925. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6390
639126. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
6392
6393
6394Exim version 4.41
6395-----------------
6396
6397 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
6398    crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
6399    closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
6400    order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
6401    to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
6402    been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
6403
6404
6405Exim version 4.40
6406-----------------
6407
6408 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
6409    before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
6410
6411 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
6412    some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
6413    socklen_t is defined.
6414
6415 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
6416    always exist.
6417
6418 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
6419    configured.
6420
6421 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
6422    that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
6423    expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
6424    the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
6425    it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
6426
6427 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
6428    store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
6429    flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
6430    This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
6431
6432 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
6433    of flapping under certain conditions.
6434
6435 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
6436    it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
6437    lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
6438
6439 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
6440
644110. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
6442
644311. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
6444    could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
6445    new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
6446    the duration of the SMTP connection.
6447
644812. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
6449    contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
6450    did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
6451    of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
6452    addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
6453    non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
6454    preserved with the message after it was received.
6455
645613. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
6457    "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
6458    the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
6459    strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
6460    its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
6461    test suite worked just fine.
6462
646314. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
6464    doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
6465    which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
6466
646715. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
6468    error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
6469    string.
6470
647116. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
6472    from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
6473    for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
6474    does not fully solve it.
6475
647617. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
6477    buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
6478    action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
6479    Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
6480    sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
6481
648218. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
6483    using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
6484    crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
6485
648619. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
6487    string, for example:
6488
6489      warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
6490
6491    the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
6492    though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
6493    second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
6494    fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
6495    the routers could not see them.
6496
649720. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
6498    suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
6499
650021. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
6501    ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
6502    output).
6503
650422. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
6505    particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
6506    a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
6507    incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
6508    that needed quoting.
6509
651023. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
6511    was not being matched caselessly.
6512
651324. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
6514    backslashes.
6515
651625. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
6517    properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
6518    the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
6519    callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
6520    when use_sender is false.
6521
652226. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
6523
652427. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
6525
652628. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
6527
652829. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
6529    the configuration file.
6530
653130. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
6532    (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
6533
653431. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
6535
653632. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
6537    bytes in the message body.
6538
653933. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
6540    "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
6541    delivery.
6542
654334. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
6544
654535. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
6546
654736. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
6548    IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
6549    address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
6550    into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
6551    another IP address.
6552
6553
6554Exim version 4.34
6555-----------------
6556
6557 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
6558    hosts" instead of "hostlist".
6559
6560 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
6561    address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
6562    name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
6563    overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
6564    code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
6565
6566 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
6567    message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
6568
6569 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
6570    theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
6571    per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
6572
6573 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
6574    lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
6575    "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
6576
6577 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
6578    for routers.
6579
6580 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
6581    problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
6582    local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
6583    were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
6584    I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
6585    body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
6586    are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
6587
6588
6589Exim version 4.33
6590-----------------
6591
6592 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
6593    before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
6594    deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
6595    effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
6596    crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
6597    default (and expected) setting.
6598
6599 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
6600    message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
6601    The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
6602    of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
6603
6604 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
6605    for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
6606
6607 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
6608    in domain lists.
6609
6610 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
6611    operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
6612    for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
6613    (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
6614    wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
6615    sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
6616
6617 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
6618    This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
6619    ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
6620
6621 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
6622    part (NOT match_host).
6623
6624 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
6625
6626 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
6627    condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
6628    issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
6629    after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
6630    there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
6631    acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
6632    at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
6633    checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
6634    the same named file.
6635
663610. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
6637    It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
6638    when Exim is built.
6639
664011. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
6641    to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
6642    not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
6643    that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
6644    a host name.
6645
664612. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
6647    defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
6648    processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
6649
665013. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
6651
665214. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
6653
665415. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
6655
665616. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
6657    option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
6658
665917. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
6660    in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
6661    before starting the TLS session.
6662
666318. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
6664
666519. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
6666    bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
6667
666820. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
6669    a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
6670    first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
6671    colon in the middle).
6672
6673
6674Exim version 4.32
6675-----------------
6676
6677 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
6678    to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
6679    multiple configurations are in use.
6680
6681 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
6682    an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6683    message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6684    and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6685    the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6686    patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6687
6688 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6689    delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6690
6691 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6692    an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6693    treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6694
6695 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6696    that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6697    occurs.
6698
6699 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6700    that used bh_ and bheader_.
6701
6702 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6703
6704 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6705    allowing one more file than it should have been.
6706
6707 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6708
6709      -prval:sval
6710
6711    is equivalent to
6712
6713      -oMr rval -oMs sval
6714
6715    and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6716    host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6717    Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6718    embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6719    "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6720
672110. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6722    Exim's behaviour:
6723
6724    (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6725    32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6726    those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6727    only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6728    separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6729    There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6730
6731    (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6732    macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6733    not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6734    it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6735    one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6736    did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6737    function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6738    string.
6739
6740    (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6741    instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6742    few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6743    the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6744    given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6745
674611. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6747
674812. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6749    from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6750    subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6751
675213. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6753
675414. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6755    "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6756    unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6757    information.
6758
675915. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6760    the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6761
676216. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6763    Three changes have been made:
6764
6765    (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6766        recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6767        to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6768        been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6769        MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6770
6771    (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6772        been restored.
6773
6774    (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6775        the modified behaviour.
6776
6777
6778Exim version 4.31
6779-----------------
6780
6781 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6782    Larry Rosenman.
6783
6784 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6785    indeed breaks things for older releases.
6786
6787 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6788    from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6789    try to track down a specific problem.
6790
6791 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6792    to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6793    getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6794
6795 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6796    warning.
6797
6798 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6799    fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6800    configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6801    can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6802    Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6803    some earlier ones do not.
6804
6805 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6806
6807 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6808    parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6809    address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6810    this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6811    address literals are enabled, of course).
6812
6813 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6814
681510. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6816    encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6817    by a command such as
6818
6819      exim -f "" ...
6820
6821    where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6822
682311. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6824
682512. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6826    remained set. It is now erased.
6827
682813. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6829    times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6830
683114. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6832    were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6833    selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6834    but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6835    and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6836    In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6837    actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6838    appropriate error code.
6839
684015. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6841    be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6842    such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6843    messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6844    that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6845    caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6846
684716. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6848    was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6849    the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6850
685117. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6852    first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6853    in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6854    terminate the header.
6855
685618. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6857    unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6858    termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6859
686019. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6861    of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6862    (4.30/29). In particular:
6863
6864    . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6865      imposed.
6866
6867    . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6868      to write a maildirsize file.
6869
6870    . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6871      the transport, the new value overrides.
6872
6873    . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6874      count.
6875
687620. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6877    message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6878    isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6879    space or a tab.
6880
688121. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6882    expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6883    bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6884    the fallback hosts.
6885
688622. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6887    equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6888    to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6889
689023. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6891    gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6892    using a union.
6893
689424. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6895    (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6896    instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6897
689825. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6899
690026. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6901
690227. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6903
690428. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6905    contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6906    become corrupted.
6907
690829. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6909    when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6910    verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6911    options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6912    track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6913    callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6914    The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6915    too great.
6916
691730. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6918    to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6919    postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6920    subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6921    postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6922    incorrectly.
6923
692431. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6925    it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6926    were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6927    options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6928    where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6929    dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6930    widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6931    cached value only when the same options are set.
6932
693332. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6934
693533. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6936    than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6937    Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6938    the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6939    wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6940
694134: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6942    maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6943    it is clearly obsolete.
6944
694535. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6946    transport.
6947
694836. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6949    client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6950    understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6951    times.
6952
695337. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6954    Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6955    which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6956    library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6957    disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6958
695938. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6960    lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6961    size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6962    as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6963
696439. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6965
6966      CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6967
6968    The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6969    support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6970    2^31.
6971
697240. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6973    instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6974    causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6975    same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6976    after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6977    failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6978    $local_part_data.
6979
698041. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6981    with the -f command-line option.
6982
698342. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6984    $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6985    incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6986    it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6987    happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6988    deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6989
699043. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6991    it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6992    line.
6993
699444. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6995    and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6996    bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6997    say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6998    20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6999    also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
7000    tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
7001    buffer is too small.
7002
700345. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
7004    lsearch lookups. Now it does.
7005
700646. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
7007    buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
7008    thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
7009    Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
7010    string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
7011    that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
7012    that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
7013    structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
7014    expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
7015
701647. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
7017    more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
7018    data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
7019
702048. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
7021    xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
7022    ACL").
7023
702449. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
7025    replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
7026    no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
7027    at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
7028    to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
7029
703050. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
7031    messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
7032    by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
7033    large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
7034    is set.
7035
703651. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
7037
703852. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
7039
704053. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
7041    reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
7042
704354. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
7044    differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
7045    actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
7046
704755. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
7048    was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
7049    send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
7050    it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
7051    (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
7052
705356. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
7054    target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
7055    qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
7056    inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
7057    be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
7058    target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
7059    two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
7060
706157. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
7062    concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
7063    number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
7064    which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
7065    to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
7066    the test of how many are available.
7067
706858. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
7069    remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
7070    message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
7071    However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
7072    entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
7073    new message is started.
7074
707559. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
7076    debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
7077
707860. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
7079    of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
7080
708161. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
7082    connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
7083    isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
7084    is no long logged.
7085
708662. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
7087    die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
7088    on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
7089    included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
7090    for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
7091    protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
7092    failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
7093
709463. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
7095    makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
7096    from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
7097    interpreted as octal.
7098
709964. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
7100    setting.
7101
710265. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
7103    report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
7104    Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
7105    copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
7106    At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
7107    been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
7108
710966. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
7110    message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
7111    in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
7112    line. There are two side-effects of this change:
7113
7114    (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
7115        logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
7116        it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
7117        that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
7118
7119    (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
7120        is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
7121        is a bug fix.
7122
7123    This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
7124    after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
7125
712667. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
7127
712868. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
7129    gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
7130    change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
7131    which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
7132
713369. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
7134    gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
7135    supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
7136    supplied", which is not helpful.
7137
713870. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
7139    message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
7140    Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
7141
714271. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
7143    the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
7144    sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
7145    have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
7146    the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
7147    recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
7148    since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
7149    [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
7150
715172. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
7152    temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
7153    the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
7154    a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
7155    actually sending 8xx at this point.)
7156
715773. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
7158    the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
7159    middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
7160    ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
7161    error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
7162    incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
7163
716474. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
7165    in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
7166    when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
7167
716875. Added write_rejectlog option.
7169
717076. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
7171    was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
7172    main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
7173    variables.
7174
717577. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
7176
717778. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
7178    when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
7179    retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
7180    be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
7181    occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
7182    longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
7183    forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
7184    setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
7185
718679. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
7187    a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
7188    command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
7189    were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
7190    message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
7191
719280. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
7193    Haardt.
7194
719581. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
7196    conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
7197    (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
7198    that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
7199    or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
7200    transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
7201    been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
7202    but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
7203    behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
7204
7205
7206Exim version 4.30
7207-----------------
7208
7209 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
7210    and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
7211    pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
7212
7213 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
7214    fixed.
7215
7216 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
7217    certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
7218    happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
7219
7220 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
7221    name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
7222    systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
7223    "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
7224    string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
7225    empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
7226
7227 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
7228    IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
7229    all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
7230    However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
7231    DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
7232    I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
7233    the Exim test suite.
7234
7235    To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
7236    own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
7237    If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
7238    addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
7239
7240    This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
7241    order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
7242    order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
7243    specify it in this variable.
7244
7245 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
7246    some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
7247    string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
7248    other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
7249
7250 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
7251    as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
7252    numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
7253    kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
7254
7255 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
7256    at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
7257    works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
7258    no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
7259    have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
7260
7261 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
7262
726310. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
7264    they are logged.
7265
726611. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
7267    lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
7268    host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
7269    variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
7270    longer necessary for query-style lookups.
7271
727212. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
7273    have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
7274
727513. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
7276    version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
7277    to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
7278    error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
7279    always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
7280
728114. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
7282    against a later release with more variables having written the file.
7283
728415. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
7285    Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
7286    this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
7287
728816. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
7289    OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
7290
729117. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
7292    only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
7293
729418. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
7295    variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
7296    to get rid of the compiler warning.
7297
729819. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
7299    ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
7300
730120. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
7302    if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
7303    crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
7304    transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
7305
730621. Added the -t option to exigrep.
7307
730822. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
7309    wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
7310    NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
7311    them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
7312
731323. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
7314
731524. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
7316    line; previously there was no indication of these.
7317
731825. Added .include_if_exists.
7319
732026. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
7321    Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
7322    versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
7323    do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
7324    not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
7325    sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
7326
732727. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
7328
732928. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
7330    /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
7331    this.
7332
733329. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
7334
733530. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
7336    sender verification failures with (e.g.):
7337
7338      550 Verification failed for <xxx>
7339      550 Sender verify failed
7340
7341    where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
7342    the final line of the response.
7343
734431. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
7345    limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
7346    all other user lookups.
7347
734832. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
7349    delivery time.
7350
735133. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
7352    expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
7353    resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
7354    result into an int without checking.
7355
735634. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
7357    did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
7358    to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
7359
736035. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
7361    1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
7362    clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
7363    as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
7364
736536. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
7366    correctly.
7367
736837. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
7369    timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
7370
737138. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
7372    to the empty sender.
7373
737439. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
7375    stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
7376    syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
7377    the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
7378    decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
7379    code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
7380    the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
7381    panic log.
7382
738340. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
7384    connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
7385    just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
7386    it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
7387    used.
7388
738941. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
7390    says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
7391
739242. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
7393    timestamps.
7394
739543. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
7396    and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
7397
739844. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
7399
740045. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
7401    silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
7402    logs.
7403
740446. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
7405    as soon as it is encountered.
7406
740747. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
7408
740948. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
7410    rewritten to "<>".
7411
741249. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
7413    recognizes a tab character.
7414
741550. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
7416    extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
7417    longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
7418    at the front about calling Exim under different names.
7419
742051. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
7421
742252. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
7423    crash.
7424
742553. Installed eximstats 1.29.
7426
742754. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
7428
742955. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
7430    Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
7431    2822.
7432
743356. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
7434    incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
7435    message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
7436    address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
7437    lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
7438
743957. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
7440    limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
7441
744258. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
7443    configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
7444    list (.included file names were always shown).
7445
744659. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
7447    for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
7448    setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
7449    root at that time.
7450
745160. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
7452    that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
7453
745461. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
7455
745662. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
7457
745863. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
7459
746064. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
7461    the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
7462    output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
7463    was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
7464    failures to open the logs.
7465
746665. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
7467    possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
7468    provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
7469    this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
7470    a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
7471    to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
7472    filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
7473
7474
7475Exim version 4.24
7476-----------------
7477
7478 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
7479    HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
7480    not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
7481    change 4.23/1.
7482
7483 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
7484    shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
7485    are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
7486
7487 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
7488    have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
7489    Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
7490
7491 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
7492    number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
7493    causing some misleading effects.
7494
7495 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
7496    manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
7497    same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
7498
7499 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
7500    re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
7501    deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
7502    queue-runner function directly.
7503
7504
7505Exim version 4.23
7506-----------------
7507
7508 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
7509    HEADERS_CHARSET.
7510
7511 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
7512    ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
7513    was always written to the default place.
7514
7515 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
7516    incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
7517    connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
7518
7519 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
7520
7521 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
7522
7523    (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
7524        be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
7525        but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
7526
7527    (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
7528        prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
7529        must start.
7530
7531    (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
7532        is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
7533        it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
7534
7535    (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
7536        command line option is disabled.
7537
7538 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
7539    like macro names defined in the configuration file.
7540
7541 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
7542
7543 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
7544
7545 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
7546    the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
7547
754810. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
7549
755011. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
7551    SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
7552    waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
7553    point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
7554    nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
7555    way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
7556
755712. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
7558    on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
7559    timeout.
7560
756113. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
7562    unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
7563
756414. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
7565    was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
7566
756715. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
7568    received was valid base64.
7569
757016. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
7571    name of the variable that was being set.
7572
757317. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
7574
757518. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
7576    lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
7577    example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
7578    Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
7579    looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
7580    empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
7581
758219. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
7583
758420. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
7585    nor realm was specified.
7586
758721. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
7588    error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
7589    connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
7590    errors are given to SMTP connections.
7591
759222. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
7593    (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
7594    failing to send a response to QUIT.
7595
759623. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
7597    which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
7598    ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
7599
760024. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
7601    "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
7602    case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
7603    some systems use these upper case variants.
7604
760525. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
7606    filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
7607    same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
7608    socket" when it tried to send the third.
7609
761026. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
7611
761227. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
7613    the OS had its own crypt16() function.
7614
761528. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
7616    as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
7617    expansion variable.
7618
761929. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
7620
762130. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
7622    for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
7623    slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
7624    /../ is explicitly forbidden.
7625
762631. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
7627    using it.
7628
762932. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
7630    well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
7631    seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
7632
763333. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
7634    However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
7635
763634. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
7637    for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
7638    using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
7639    would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
7640
764135. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
7642    contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
7643    recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
7644
764536. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
7646
764737. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
7648    some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
7649    could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
7650    i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
7651    aborted.
7652
765338. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
7654    when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
7655    This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
7656
765739. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
7658
765940. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
7660    accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
7661
766241. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
7663    strings in the file are not string-expanded.
7664
766542. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
7666    int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
7667    now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
7668    day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
7669    when emails are that large.
7670
7671
7672
7673Exim version 4.22
7674-----------------
7675
7676 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
7677    iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
7678
7679 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
7680    IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
7681    the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
7682
7683 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7684    argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7685    typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7686
7687 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7688    of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7689    at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7690    almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7691    unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7692
7693 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7694    second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7695    timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7696    and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7697    never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7698    ever.
7699
7700 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7701    process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7702    mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7703    the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7704    up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7705    process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7706    process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7707    still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7708    no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7709    the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7710    the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7711    see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7712    unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7713    in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7714
7715 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7716    seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7717    parameterised it.
7718
7719 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7720    *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7721    error should be diagnosed.
7722
7723 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7724    original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7725    output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7726    confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7727    appeared instead of "NULL".
7728
772910. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7730    user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7731    privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7732    logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7733    configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7734    is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7735    proceeds).
7736
7737    However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7738    be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7739    and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7740
7741
7742Exim version 4.21
7743-----------------
7744
7745 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7746    or receiver verification errors.
7747
7748 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7749    name.
7750
7751 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7752    delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7753    for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7754    the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7755
7756 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7757    bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7758    the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7759    operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7760    shouldn't happen again.
7761
7762 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7763    Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7764    any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7765
7766 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7767    arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7768
7769 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7770
7771 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7772    was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7773
7774 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7775    ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7776    RFC.
7777
777810. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7779    daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7780    count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7781
778211. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7783    outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7784    the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7785    or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7786
778712. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7788    that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7789    but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7790    to define what should happen).
7791
779213. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7793    are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7794    In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7795
779614. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7797
779815. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7799
780016. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7801    domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7802
780317. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
7804    returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7805    a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7806    structure in all cases.
7807
7808    Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7809    ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7810    means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7811    ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7812
781318. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7814    An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7815    domain name.
7816
781719. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7818    if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7819
782020. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7821    MD5 (which is deprecated).
7822
782321. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7824    took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7825    when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7826
782722. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7828    with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7829    terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7830
783123. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7832    the book and for uniformity.
7833
783424. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7835
783625. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
7837    Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
7838    could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7839    has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7840    a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7841    non-existent command as the problem.
7842
784326. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7844    header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7845    marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7846
784727. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7848
784928. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7850    code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7851    ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7852
785329. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7854    equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7855    program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7856    timestamps using strftime().
7857
785830. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7859    complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7860
786132. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7862    transport-time rewrites.
7863
786433. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7865    (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7866    function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7867    expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7868
786934. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7870    records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7871
787235. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7873    all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7874    value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7875    $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7876    comma and a space.
7877
787836. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7879    to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7880    them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7881    those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7882    names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7883    administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7884    wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7885
788637. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7887    the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7888    the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7889    value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7890    change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7891
789238. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7893    Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7894    left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7895    reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7896    point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7897    that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7898    remaining text gets split now.
7899
790039. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7901    file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7902    It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7903    that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7904
790540. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7906    address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7907    oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7908    -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7909    $return_path.
7910
791141. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7912    log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7913    conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7914    messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7915    no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7916    message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7917    passed through if needed.
7918
791942. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7920    new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7921    translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7922    indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7923    translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7924    "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7925
792643. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7927    that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7928    of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7929    expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7930    message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7931
793244. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7933    buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7934    ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7935    message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7936    incorrect size information for certain domains.
7937
793845. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7939    caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7940    noticed.
7941
794246. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7943    a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7944    address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7945    original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7946    mayhem of various kinds.
7947
794847. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7949    when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
7950    may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
7951    the right test for positive values.
7952
795348. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7954    in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7955    appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7956    all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7957    change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7958    of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7959    trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7960    caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7961    twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7962    casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7963    envelope.
7964
796549. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7966    module.
7967
796850. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7969    no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7970    forbidding it.
7971
797251. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7973    the existing equality matching.
7974
797552. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7976    dealing with inode numbers.
7977
797853. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7979    TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7980    called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7981
798254. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7983    additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7984    smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7985    The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7986    local_scan().
7987
798855. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7989    has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7990    using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7991    failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7992    the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7993    relay addresses has also been removed.
7994
799556. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7996
799757. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7998    CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7999    will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
8000
800158. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
8002    endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
8003    options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
8004    following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
8005    processing applies to CR:
8006
8007    (i)  The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
8008         nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
8009
8010    (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
8011         after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
8012         behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
8013         to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
8014
801559. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
8016    was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
8017    This is a VOB (very old bug).
8018
801960. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
8020    When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
8021    the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
8022    When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
8023    hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
8024    longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
8025    arisen.
8026
802761. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
8028    program routers.
8029
803062. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
8031    header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
8032    is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
8033    possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
8034    adds:
8035
8036      Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
8037
8038    whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
8039
8040      Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
8041
804263. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
8043    Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
8044    not considered personal.
8045
804664. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
8047
804865. Added queue_only_override (default true).
8049
805066. Added the syslog_duplication option.
8051
805267. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
8053    a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
8054    It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
8055    treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
8056    caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
8057    header lines, and spool format errors.
8058
805968. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
8060    client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
8061    for more flexibility.
8062
806369. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
8064    variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
8065    consulting and updating the callout cache.
8066
806770. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
8068    Sabourenkov.
8069
807071. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
8071    size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
8072    Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
8073    These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
8074    an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
8075    serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
8076    happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
8077    incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
8078    directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
8079
808072. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
8081    0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
8082    ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
8083    descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
8084    causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
8085    got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
8086    bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
8087
808873. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
8089    interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
8090    backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
8091
809274. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
8093    to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
8094    connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
8095    from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
8096    function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
8097    one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
8098    instead of killing the process with assert().
8099
810075. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
8101    than Unicode encoding.
8102
810376. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
8104    the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
8105    NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
8106    forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
8107
810877. Added process_log_path.
8109
811078. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
8111    check_log_inodes was ignored.
8112
811379. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
8114    logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...

811680. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
8117    print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
8118    debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.

812081. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
8121    buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
8122    initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
8123    spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
8124    a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
8125    were applied:
8126
8127    (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
8128    (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
8129        as invalid.

813182. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
8132    runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
8133    they will be used during message reception.
