+(336) 16-Jun-05 M Show recipient(s) after header check failure
+
+The mainlog line for "There is no valid sender in any header line" shows the
+sending host and the envelope sender, but does not show any recipients. There
+has been a request to show recipients. Presumably this should be on some new
+log selector, and it must have a cutoff maximum number of recipients. NOTE: the
+data in the reject log does show the envelope recipients as part of its
+additional data.

+(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.
