New Features in Exim
--------------------
updated when there is a relatively large batch of changes). The doc/ChangeLog
file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes.
+Version 4.63
+------------
+
+1. There is a new Boolean option called filter_prepend_home for the redirect
+ router. It defaults true, for backward compatibility. If a "save" command in
+ an Exim filter has a relative path for its argument, and $home is defined,
+ it is automatically prepended to the relative path. This action can now be
+ prevented by setting filter_prepend_home false.
+
+2. There is a new acl, set by acl_not_smtp_start, which is run right at the
+ start of receiving a non-SMTP message, before any of the message has been
+ read. (This is the analogue of the acl_smtp_predata ACL for SMTP input.) The
+ result of this ACL is ignored; it cannot be used to reject a message. If
+ you really need to, you could set a value in an ACL variable here and reject
+ based on that in the acl_not_smtp ACL. However, this ACL can be used to set
+ controls, and in particular, it can be used to set control=suppress_local_
+ fixups, which cannot be used in the acl_not_smtp ACL because by the time
+ that ACL is run, it is too late. When the acl_not_smtp_start ACL is run, the
+ sender and recipients are known, so the "senders" and "sender_domains"
+ conditions and $sender_address and $recipients variables can be used.
+ Variables such as $authenticated_ sender are also available. It is possible
+ to specify added header lines in this ACL.
+
+
+Version 4.62
+------------
+
+1. The ${readsocket expansion item now supports Internet domain sockets as well
+ as Unix domain sockets. If the first argument begins "inet:", it must be of
+ the form "inet:host:port". The port is mandatory; it may be a number or the
+ name of a TCP port in /etc/services. The host may be a name, or it may be an
+ IP address. An ip address may optionally be enclosed in square brackets.
+ This is best for IPv6 addresses. For example:
+
+ ${readsocket{inet:[::1]:1234}{<request data>}...
+
+ Only a single host name may be given, but if looking it up yield more than
+ one IP address, they are each tried in turn until a connection is made. Once
+ a connection has been made, the behaviour is as for ${readsocket with a Unix
+ domain socket.
+
+2. If a redirect router sets up file or pipe deliveries for more than one
+ incoming address, and the relevant transport has batch_max set greater than
+ one, a batch delivery now occurs.
+
+3. The appendfile transport has a new option called maildirfolder_create_regex.
+ Its value is a regular expression. For a maildir delivery, this is matched
+ against the maildir directory; if it matches, Exim ensures that a
+ maildirfolder file is created alongside the new, cur, and tmp directories.
+
+
Version 4.61
------------
$2, $3, (though those are still set) because the numeric variables get used
for other things in complicated expansions.
-. The default for rfc4131_query_timeout has been changed from 30s to 5s.
+. The default for rfc1413_query_timeout has been changed from 30s to 5s.
. It is possible to use setclassresources() on some BSD OS to control the
resources used in pipe deliveries.
