EXIM 4 WISH LIST
----------------
address?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(172) 11-Sep-2000 S Allow file/directory in appendfile to override
-"Michael J. Tubby"
-
-When appendfile is called from forward or filter files, it ignores file or
-directory settings. Maybe they should override. The path set by the forward or
-filter is available in $address_file these days, so it could be used to create
-a longer path.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(173) 18-Sep-2000 S A way of doing lsearches with EOL terminated keys
Jason Robertson
exim_dbmbuild to make them into DBM files.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(174) 19-Sep-2000 S A way of using a different port for fallback hosts.
-Dean Brooks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(181) 10-Nov-2000 S Compile-time options for ignoring Sendmail options
So that new ones could be accommodated easily.
headers_remove = "X-*:Additional-header"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(188) 02-Jan-2001 S Make pipe timeout a temporary error
-Georg v.Zezschwitz
-
-A way to make a timeout into a temporary error.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(190) 03-Jan-2001 M Multiple message operations in eximon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
might have. At ACL time, one would need to verify the recipient, and determine
that it routed to host X.
-. A new lookup library that operates on a specially prepared file of IP
-addresses and masks so that a single "lookup" yields a yes/no answer. This
-should be a freestanding thing - needs a utility to build the file from a list.
-
. People want to change the wording of messages; can we find an efficient way
of allowing this? (Maybe put all messages into a separate module?) The problem
is not in the messages themselves, but in the values that get inserted into
. Implement randomize for ldap/sql servers.
. Add an option for ETRN that says "wait for the command to finish, and use its
-stdout as the SMTP response."
+stdout as the SMTP response." // A serialized ETRN now does the waiting, but
+there is as yet no way to use the status. //
. -odsomething for "ignore retry when doing immediate delivery".
it were 4xx. Or possible add a sophisticated "after command X, treat xxx as
yyy".
-. A way of rewriting addresses in non-standard header lines such as
-Mail-Followup-To.
-
. Global option to enable initgroups() for exim uid. Default off.
. When verifying a sender, should it be rewritten with any T rewrites, because
. Options and/or a utility to enable non-privileged users to view the queue
(e.g. -bpp), manipulate their own messages, etc.
-. Specify a port along with a host in a route_list.
-
. A generalized "From" escaping scheme that also escapes >From so that the
whole thing can be reversed.
John W Baxter
May be tricky, because at the higher levels, the format of the query is not
-understood.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-(8) 01-Jan-02 S Expand once_repeat in autoreply
-John Jetmore
+understood. // There is now a fudge that works in some cases. See ChangeLog
+4.51/PH/10. //
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(9) 01-Jan-02 S Headers as well as body in file for autoreply
copies to the same address.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(73) 17-Jul-02 M Match a list from within a condition
-
-e.g. ${if matchdomain {$domain}{+domainlist} ...
- ${if matchhost {$sender_host_address}{1.2.3.4/10:2.3.4.5/16}...
-
-Thought needed about how to handle host names. This may be too messy to specify
-cleanly.
-
-22-Apr-04: Implemented for domains, addresses, and local parts. Hosts are
-too messy!
-
-The only sensible approach seems to be to allow IP address arguments only.
-Anything else should be diagnosed as an error. However, if a name appears in
-the list, a PTR lookup should be done. This may require a lot of refactoring
-in the code, because of the current assumption that were are (almost) always
-dealing with THE sending host.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(74) 22-Jul-02 M Extend -bV to do more semantic checking
For example, diagnose "local_hosts" that should probably be "+local_hosts".
Suggested patch supplied.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(171) 23-Jun-03 S Option to make timeout a soft failure on pipe transport
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(172) 23-Jun-03 M Option to make SQL query to specific server
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
data in the reject log does show the envelope recipients as part of its
additional data.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---- HWM 336 ------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(337) 29-Jun-05 S Add "defer" to $recipient_verify_failure
+
+This is for when defer_ok was set when verifying recipients. Since this isn't
+for a failure, we probably also need "ok" for the non-fail case.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(338) 14-Jul-05 M Change to Bind 9 API
+
+Exim uses the original API for calling the DNS resolver. There is a newer API
+available, and noises are being made in some OS that compatibility with the old
+API is going to be dropped. Nevertheless, there are sure to be systems about
+for ages that require the use of the old API. Therefore, we will have to
+implement not only an interface to the new API, but a backwards compatibility
+feature. It would be nice if this was automatic.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(339) 28-Jul-05 S Log name of maildir file
+
+This wish is for an option to log the name of the file that is written in
+maildir format (e.g. time.pid.host).
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
