Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
-Exim version 4.78
+Exim version 4.82
+-----------------
+
+PP/01 Add -bI: framework, and -bI:sieve for querying sieve capabilities.
+
+PP/02 Make -n do something, by making it not do something.
+ When combined with -bP, the name of an option is not output.
+
+PP/03 Added tls_dh_min_bits SMTP transport driver option, only honoured
+ by GnuTLS.
+
+PP/04 First step towards DNSSEC, provide $sender_host_dnssec for
+ $sender_host_name and config options to manage this, and basic check
+ routines.
+
+PP/05 DSCP support for outbound connections and control modifier for inbound.
+
+PP/06 Cyrus SASL: set local and remote IP;port properties for driver.
+ (Only plugin which currently uses this is kerberos4, which nobody should
+ be using, but we should make it available and other future plugins might
+ conceivably use it, even though it would break NAT; stuff *should* be
+ using channel bindings instead).
+
+PP/07 Handle "exim -L <tag>" to indicate to use syslog with tag as the process
+ name; added for Sendmail compatibility; requires admin caller.
+ Handle -G as equivalent to "control = suppress_local_fixups" (we used to
+ just ignore it); requires trusted caller.
+ Also parse but ignore: -Ac -Am -X<logfile>
+ Bugzilla 1117.

+
+PP/09 Add gnutls_allow_auto_pkcs11 option (was originally called

+ Bugzilla 884.
+
+JH/09 Add $headers_added variable, with content from use of ACL modifier

+
+JH/10 Add 8bitmime log_selector, for 8bitmime status on the received line.
+ Pulled from Bugzilla 817 by Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+PP/11 SECURITY: protect DKIM DNS decoding from remote exploit.
+ CVE-2012-5671
+ (nb: this is the same fix as in Exim 4.80.1)
+
+JH/11 Add A= logging on delivery lines, and a client_set_id option on
+ authenticators.
+
+JH/12 Add optional authenticated_sender logging to A= and a log_selector
+ for control.
+
+PP/12 Unbreak server_set_id for NTLM/SPA auth, broken by 4.80 PP/29.
+
+PP/13 Dovecot auth: log better reason to rejectlog if Dovecot did not
+ advertise SMTP AUTH mechanism to us, instead of a generic
+ protocol violation error. Also, make Exim more robust to bad
+ data from the Dovecot auth socket.
+
+TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
+
+ When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
+ recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
+ hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
+ any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
+ the retry rules.
+
+ So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
+ deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
+ address never reaches the final cutoff time.
+
+ This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
+ their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
+ to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
+ in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
+
+ This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
+ final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
+ this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
+ domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
+ the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
+ this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
+ delivery, as in LMTP.
+
+ I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
+ redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.
+
+TF/02 Correct gecos expansion when From: is a prefix of the username.
+
+ Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header
+
+ Resent-From: f
+
+ When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
+ the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
+ a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
+ username as equal to the username.
+
+ This change corrects that bug.
+
+GF/01 DCC debug and logging tidyup
+ Error conditions log to paniclog rather than rejectlog.
+ Debug lines prefixed by "DCC: " to remove any ambiguity.
+
+TF/03 Avoid unnecessary rebuilds of lookup-related code.
+
+PP/14 Fix OCSP reinitialisation in SNI handling for Exim/TLS as server.
+ Bug spotted by Jeremy Harris; was flawed since initial commit.
+ Would have resulted in OCSP responses post-SNI triggering an Exim
+ NULL dereference and crash.
+
+JH/13 Add $router_name and $transport_name variables. Bugzilla 308.
+
+PP/15 Define SIOCGIFCONF_GIVES_ADDR for GNU Hurd.
+ Bug detection, analysis and fix by Samuel Thibault.
+ Bugzilla 1331, Debian bug #698092.
+
+SC/01 Update eximstats to watch out for senders sending 'HELO [IpAddr]'
+
+JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
+ Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
+ Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
+ config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
+ advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
+ acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
+ the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
+ The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
+ on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
+ Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
+ PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".
+
+PP/16 Fix problems caused by timeouts during quit ACLs trying to double
+ fclose(). Diagnosis by Todd Lyons.
+
+PP/17 Update configure.default to handle IPv6 localhost better.
+ Patch by Alain Williams (plus minor tweaks).
+ Bugzilla 880.
+
+PP/18 OpenSSL made graceful with empty tls_verify_certificates setting.
+ This is now consistent with GnuTLS, and is now documented: the
+ previous undocumented portable approach to treating the option as
+ unset was to force an expansion failure. That still works, and
+ an empty string is now equivalent.
+
+PP/19 Renamed DNSSEC-enabling option to "dns_dnssec_ok", to make it
+ clearer that Exim is using the DO (DNSSEC OK) EDNS0 resolver flag,
+ not performing validation itself.
+
+PP/20 Added force_command boolean option to pipe transport.
+ Patch from Nick Koston, of cPanel Inc.
+
+JH/15 AUTH support on callouts (and hence cutthrough-deliveries).
+ Bugzilla 321, 823.
+
+TF/04 Added udpsend ACL modifer and hexquote expansion operator
+
+PP/21 Fix eximon continuous updating with timestamped log-files.
+ Broken in a format-string cleanup in 4.80, missed when I repaired the
+ other false fix of the same issue.
+ Report and fix from Heiko Schlichting.
+ Bugzilla 1363.
+
+PP/22 Guard LDAP TLS usage against Solaris LDAP variant.
+ Report from Prashanth Katuri.
+
+PP/23 Support safari_ecdhe_ecdsa_bug for openssl_options.
+ It's SecureTransport, so affects any MacOS clients which use the
+ system-integrated TLS libraries, including email clients.
+
+PP/24 Fix segfault from trying to fprintf() to a NULL stdio FILE* if
+ using a MIME ACL for non-SMTP local injection.
+ Report and assistance in diagnosis by Warren Baker.
+
+TL/08 Adjust exiqgrep to be case-insensitive for sender/receiver.
+
+JH/16 Fix comparisons for 64b. Bugzilla 1385.
+
+TL/09 Add expansion variable $authenticated_fail_id to keep track of
+ last id that failed so it may be referenced in subsequent ACL's.
+
+TL/10 Bugzilla 1375 - Prevent TLS rebinding in ldap. Patch provided by
+ Alexander Miroch.
+
+TL/11 Bugzilla 1382 - Option ldap_require_cert overrides start_tls
+ ldap library initialization, allowing self-signed CA's to be
+ used. Also properly sets require_cert option later in code by
+ using NULL (global ldap config) instead of ldap handle (per
+ session). Bug diagnosis and testing by alxgomz.
+
+TL/12 Enhanced documentation in the ratelimit.pl script provided in
+ the src/util/ subdirectory.
+
+TL/13 Bug 1301 - Imported transport SQL logging patch from Axel Rau
+ renamed to Transport Post Delivery Action by Jeremy Harris, as
+ EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA.
+
+TL/14 Bugzilla 1217 - Redis lookup support has been added. It is only enabled
+ when Exim is compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_REDIS. A new config variable
+ redis_servers = needs to be configured which will be used by the redis
+ lookup. Patch from Warren Baker, of The Packet Hub.
+
+TL/15 Fix exiqsumm summary for corner case. Patch provided by Richard Hall.
+
+TL/16 Bugzilla 1289 - Clarify host/ip processing when have errors looking up a
+ hostname or reverse DNS when processing a host list. Used suggestions
+ from multiple comments on this bug.
+
+TL/17 Bugzilla 1057 - Multiple clamd TCP targets patch from Mark Zealey.
+
+TL/18 Had previously added a -CONTINUE option to runtest in the test suite.
+ Missed a few lines, added it to make the runtest require no keyboard
+ interaction.
+
+TL/19 Bugzilla 1402 - Test 533 fails if any part of the path to the test suite
+ contains upper case chars. Make router use caseful_local_part.
+
+TL/20 Bugzilla 1400 - Add AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11 build option. Allows GnuTLS
+ support when GnuTLS has been built with p11-kit.
+
+
+Exim version 4.80.1
+-------------------
+
+PP/01 SECURITY: protect DKIM DNS decoding from remote exploit.
+ CVE-2012-5671
+ This, or similar/improved, will also be change PP/11 of 4.82.
+
+
+Exim version 4.80
-----------------
PP/01 Handle short writes when writing local log-files.
JH/01 Bugzilla 660 - Multi-valued attributes from ldap now parseable as a
comma-sep list; embedded commas doubled.
+JH/02 Refactored ACL "verify =" logic to table-driven dispatch.
+
PP/15 LDAP: Check for errors of TLS initialisation, to give correct
diagnostics.
Report and patch from Dmitry Banschikov.
PP/24 Fixed headers_only on smtp transports (was not sending trailing dot).
Bugzilla 1246, report and most of solution from Tomasz Kusy.
-JH/02 ${eval } now uses 64-bit and supports a "g" suffix (like to "k" and "m").
+JH/03 ${eval } now uses 64-bit and supports a "g" suffix (like to "k" and "m").
This may cause build issues on older platforms.
PP/25 Revamped GnuTLS support, passing tls_require_ciphers to
PP/26 Added EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP for OpenSSL.
PP/27 Applied dnsdb SPF support patch from Janne Snabb.
+ Applied second patch from Janne, implementing suggestion to default
+ multiple-strings-in-record handling to match SPF spec.
+
+JH/04 Added expansion variable $tod_epoch_l for a higher-precision time.
+
+PP/28 Fix DCC dcc_header content corruption (stack memory referenced,
+ read-only, out of scope).
+ Patch from Wolfgang Breyha, report from Stuart Northfield.
+
+PP/29 Fix three issues highlighted by clang analyser static analysis.
+ Only crash-plausible issue would require the Cambridge-specific
+ iplookup router and a misconfiguration.
+ Report from Marcin Mirosław.
+
+PP/30 Another attempt to deal with PCRE_PRERELEASE, this one less buggy.
+
+PP/31 %D in printf continues to cause issues (-Wformat=security), so for
+ now guard some of the printf checks behind WANT_DEEPER_PRINTF_CHECKS.
+ As part of this, removing so much warning spew let me fix some minor
+ real issues in debug logging.
+
+PP/32 GnuTLS was always using default tls_require_ciphers, due to a missing
+ assignment on my part. Fixed.
+
+PP/33 Added tls_dh_max_bits option, defaulting to current hard-coded limit
+ of NSS, for GnuTLS/NSS interop. Problem root cause diagnosis by
+ Janne Snabb (who went above and beyond: thank you).
+
+PP/34 Validate tls_require_ciphers on startup, since debugging an invalid
+ string otherwise requires a connection and a bunch more work and it's
+ relatively easy to get wrong. Should also expose TLS library linkage
+ problems.
+
+PP/35 Pull in <features.h> on Linux, for some portability edge-cases of
+ 64-bit ${eval} (JH/03).
+
+PP/36 Define _GNU_SOURCE in exim.h; it's needed for some releases of
+ GNU libc to support some of the 64-bit stuff, should not lead to
+ conflicts. Defined before os.h is pulled in, so if a given platform
+ needs to override this, it can.
+
+PP/37 Unbreak Cyrus SASL auth: SSF retrieval was incorrect, Exim thought
+ protection layer was required, which is not implemented.
+ Bugzilla 1254, patch from Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+PP/38 Overhaul DH prime handling, supply RFC-specified DH primes as built
+ into Exim, default to IKE id 23 from RFC 5114 (2048 bit). Make
+ tls_dhparam take prime identifiers. Also unbreak combination of
+ OpenSSL+DH_params+TLSSNI.
+
+PP/39 Disable SSLv2 by default in OpenSSL support.
