creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
signature and again for transmission.
+JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in
+ 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit
+ mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also.
+
+JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
+ case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
+ a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
+ to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
+ connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
+ which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
+ database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
+ false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
+ or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
+ awareness of the SMTP input buferring.
+
+PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
+ Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
+ security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
+ own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
+ Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
+ AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
+ processing options.
+
+JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS, with GnuTLS. Previously, although safe, no
+ advantage was taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA,
+ and (server) responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this
+ usually means a single packet). As a side issue, we can now detect
+ over-eager senders in non-pipelined mode.
