The distributions will be PGP signed by an individual key of the Release
Coordinator. This key will have a uid containing an email address in the
&'exim.org'& domain and will have signatures from other people, including
key &'0x403043153903637F'&, although that key is expected to be replaced in 2013.
A trust path from Nigel's key to Phil's can be observed at
&url(https://www.security.spodhuis.org/exim-trustpath).

+Releases have also been authorized to be performed by Todd Lyons who signs with

.section "Unpacking" "SECID23"
Exim is distributed as a gzipped or bzipped tar file which, when unpacked,
creates a directory with the name of the current release (for example,
-&_exim-&version;_&) into which the following files are placed:
+&_exim-&version()_&) into which the following files are placed:
.table2 140pt
.irow &_ACKNOWLEDGMENTS_& "contains some acknowledgments"
For the utility programs, old versions are renamed by adding the suffix &_.O_&
to their names. The Exim binary itself, however, is handled differently. It is
installed under a name that includes the version number and the compile number,
-for example &_exim-&version;-1_&. The script then arranges for a symbolic link
+for example &_exim-&version()-1_&. The script then arranges for a symbolic link
called &_exim_& to point to the binary. If you are updating a previous version
of Exim, the script takes care to ensure that the name &_exim_& is never absent
from the directory (as seen by other processes).
This option is an alias for &%-bV%& and causes version information to be

-By default, Exim behaves as if the host does not match the list. This may not
-always be what you want to happen. To change Exim's behaviour, the special
-items &`+include_unknown`& or &`+ignore_unknown`& may appear in the list (at
-top level &-- they are not recognized in an indirected file).
+Exim parses a host list from left to right. If it encounters a permanent
+lookup failure in any item in the host list before it has found a match,
+Exim treats it as a failure and the default behavior is as if the host
+does not match the list. This may not always be what you want to happen.
+To change Exim's behaviour, the special items &`+include_unknown`& or
+&`+ignore_unknown`& may appear in the list (at top level &-- they are
+not recognized in an indirected file).
.ilist
If any item that follows &`+include_unknown`& requires information that
list. The effect of each one lasts until the next, or until the end of the
list.
+To explain the host/ip processing logic a different way for the same ACL:
+
+.ilist
+If you have name lookups or wildcarded host names and
+IP addresses in the same host list, you should normally put the IP
+addresses first. For example, in an ACL you could have:
+.code
+accept hosts = 10.9.8.7 : *.friend.example
+.endd
+The reason you normally would order it this way lies in the
+left-to-right way that Exim processes lists. It can test IP addresses
+without doing any DNS lookups, but when it reaches an item that requires
+a host name, it fails if it cannot find a host name to compare with the
+pattern. If the above list is given in the opposite order, the
+&%accept%& statement fails for a host whose name cannot be found, even
+if its IP address is 10.9.8.7.
+
+.next
+If you really do want to do the name check first, and still recognize the IP
+address, you can rewrite the ACL like this:
+.code
+accept hosts = *.friend.example
+accept hosts = 10.9.8.7
+.endd
+If the first &%accept%& fails, Exim goes on to try the second one. See chapter
+&<<CHAPACL>>& for details of ACLs. Alternatively, you can use
+&`+ignore_unknown`&, which was discussed in depth in the first example in
+this section.

+.cindex "list" "extracting elements by number"
+The <&'number'&> argument must consist entirely of decimal digits,
+apart from an optional leading minus,
+and leading and trailing white space (which is ignored).
+
+After expansion, <&'string1'&> is interpreted as a list, colon-separated by
+default, but the separator can be changed in the usual way.
+
+The first field of the list is numbered one.
+If the number is negative, the fields are
+counted from the end of the list, with the rightmost one numbered -1.
+The numbered element of the list is extracted and placed in &$value$&,
+then <&'string2'&> is expanded as the result.
+
+If the modulus of the
+number is zero or greater than the number of fields in the string,
+the result is the expansion of <&'string3'&>.
+
+For example:
+.code
+${listextract{2}{x:42:99}}
+.endd
+yields &"42"&, and
+.code
+${listextract{-3}{<, x,42,99,& Mailer,,/bin/bash}{result: $value}}
+.endd
+yields &"result: 99"&.
+
+If {<&'string3'&>} is omitted, an empty string is used for string3.
+If {<&'string2'&>} is also omitted, the value that was
+extracted is used.
+You can use &`fail`& instead of {<&'string3'&>} as in a string extract.

This is the first of one of two different types of lookup item, which are both
address. See the &*filter*&, &*map*&, and &*reduce*& items for ways of
processing lists.
+To clarify "list of addresses in RFC 2822 format" mentioned above, Exim follows
+a strict interpretation of header line formatting. Exim parses the bare,
+unquoted portion of an email address and if it finds a comma, treats it as an
+email address seperator. For the example header line:
+.code
+From: =?iso-8859-2?Q?Last=2C_First?= <user@example.com>
+.endd
+The first example below demonstrates that Q-encoded email addresses are parsed
+properly if it is given the raw header (in this example, &`$rheader_from:`&).
+It does not see the comma because it's still encoded as "=2C". The second
+example below is passed the contents of &`$header_from:`&, meaning it gets
+de-mimed. Exim sees the decoded "," so it treats it as &*two*& email addresses.
+The third example shows that the presence of a comma is skipped when it is
+quoted.
+.code
+# exim -be '${addresses:From: \
+=?iso-8859-2?Q?Last=2C_First?= <user@example.com>}'
+user@example.com
+# exim -be '${addresses:From: Last, First <user@example.com>}'
+Last:user@example.com

Some of these will be too small to be accepted by clients.
Some may be too large to be accepted by clients.
+The TLS protocol does not negotiate an acceptable size for this; clients tend
+to hard-drop connections if what is offered by the server is unacceptable,
+whether too large or too small, and there's no provision for the client to
+tell the server what these constraints are. Thus, as a server operator, you
+need to make an educated guess as to what is most likely to work for your
+userbase.
+
+Some known size constraints suggest that a bit-size in the range 2048 to 2236
+is most likely to maximise interoperability. The upper bound comes from
+applications using the Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) library, which
+used to set its &`DH_MAX_P_BITS`& upper-bound to 2236. This affects many
