 New Features in Exim
 --------------------

     CONFIGURE_OWNER. It specifies one additional group that is permitted for
     the runtime configuration file when the group write permission is set.
 
+ 2. The "control=submission" facility has a new option /retain_sender. This
+    has the effect of setting local_sender_retain true and local_from_check
+    false for the incoming message in which it is encountered.
+
+ 3. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
+
+ 4. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
+    $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement. Note:
+    this is just like $address_data. The value does not persist after the end
+    of the current ACL statement. If you want to preserve it, you can use one
+    of the ACL variables.
+
+ 5. The redirect router has two new options: forbid_sieve_filter and
+    forbid_exim_filter. When filtering is enabled by allow_filter, these
+    options control which type(s) of filtering are permitted. By default, both
+    Exim and Sieve filters are allowed.
+
+ 6. A new option for callouts makes it possible to set a different (usually
+    smaller) timeout for making the SMTP connection. The keyword is "connect".
+    For example:
+
+       verify = sender/callout=5s,connect=1s
+
+    If not specified, it defaults to the general timeout value.
+
+ 7. The new variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure
+    contain information about exactly what failed. In an ACL, after one of
+    these failures, the relevant variable contains one of the following words:
+
+      qualify       the address was unqualified (no domain), and the message
+                    was neither local nor came from an exempted host;
+
+      route         routing failed;
+
+      mail          routing succeeded, and a callout was attempted; rejection
+                    occurred at or before the MAIL command (that is, on initial
+                    connection, HELO, or MAIL);
+
+      recipient     the RCPT command in a callout was rejected;
+
+      postmaster    the postmaster check in a callout was rejected.
+
+    The main use of these variables is expected to be to distinguish between
+    rejections of MAIL and rejections of RCPT.
