Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
PH/33 Sieve envelope tests were broken for match types other than :is. I have
applied a patch sanctioned by the Sieve maintainer.
+PH/34 Change 4.50/80 broke Exim in that it could no longer handle cases where
+ the uid or gid is negative. A case of a negative gid caused this to be
+ noticed. The fix allows for either to be negative.
+
+PH/35 ACL_WHERE_MIME is now declared unconditionally, to avoid too much code
+ clutter, but the tables that are indexed by ACL_WHERE_xxx values had been
+ overlooked.
+
+PH/36 The change PH/12 above was broken. Fixed it.
+
+PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
+ the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
+ same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
+ longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
+ routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
+ went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
+ behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
+
+ I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
+ Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
+ transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
+ done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
+ presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
+
+ For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
+ still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
+ routed further.
+
+PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner.
+ It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
+ background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
+ connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
+ spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
+ blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."
+
+PH/39 Allow G after quota size as well as K and M.
+
+PH/40 The value set for $authenticated_id in an authenticator may not contain
+ binary zeroes or newlines because the value is written to log lines and
+ to spool files. There was no check on this. Now the value is run through
+ the string_printing() function so that such characters are converted to
+ printable escape sequences.
+
+PH/41 $message_linecount is a new variable that contains the total number of
+ lines in the message. Compare $body_linecount, which is the count for the
+ body only.
+
+PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
+ bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
+ are as follows:
+
+ (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
+ (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
+ (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
+ (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
+ (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
+
+ In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
+ warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
+ as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.
+
