 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21

     bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
     place.
 
+ 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
+    filter fails to execute.
+
+ 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
+    subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
+    was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
+    now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
+    filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
+
+ 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
+
+ 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
+    descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
+    unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
+    systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
