+(327) 06-May-05 ? Break delay if connection drops
+
+Currently, "delay=5m" (e.g.) waits for 5 minutes. If we can detect that the
+connection has died in the meantime, it would make sense to break the delay.
+However, it doesn't seem possible to detect a dropped connection without trying
+to read from it.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(328) 10-May-05 S After "unseen" routing, pass on header additions/deletions
+
+Currently, when an "unseen" router accepts an address, header additions and
+deletions stick with that address, and the "clone" address that continues to be
+routed starts off without any additions or removals. This request is for an
+option to select other actions: retain header actions with the clone only, or
+pass them on to both addresses. See also 333.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(329) 12-May-05 S Create message ID at MAIL FROM time
+
+Currently, the ID is created only when Exim is about to create the data (-D)
+file for an incoming message. In other words, after it knows it really is going
+to accept the message. Creating the ID earlier would mean that rejection
+messages in the log would be tagged with an ID, and this is seen as desirable
+by some people.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(330) 31-May-05 ? Default interface for -bh and default port for -oMi
+
+I do not think it worth putting effort in here for these reasons: If a host has
+multiple interfaces, there's no easy way to choose one to be the default for
+$interface_address when -bh is used. If the host does not have multiple
+interfaces, chances are the configuration won't be looking at
+$interface_address anyway. If you are setting -oMi, and care about the port, it
+isn't much effort to tack on a port number, though in this case, I suppose a
+default of 25 is "obvious".
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(331) 31-May-05 M More than one retry time per host
+
+Consider this example: an attempt to start a TLS connection to a host gets a
+temporary error. This stops *all* connections, both for TLS and otherwise.
+Different retry times for different circumstances are needed to get round this.
+What are the circumstances? TLS/not-TLS is clearly one, but sometimes you don't
+know if you are going to try TLS until you have connected. So this makes sense
+only if require_tls is used. Perhaps the multiple retry times should just be
+per-transport, to avoid these difficulties. If we made all retry keys depend on
+the transport, this would happen automatically.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(332) 03-Jun-05 S A "receive time taken" log selector
+
+This suggestion is to at an RT= item to the <= line, giving the time it
+actually took to receive the message.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(333) 06-Jun-05 L Re-think and re-implement header handling
+
+There are a number of items related to headers above. Better facilities for
+handling headers at ACL time are needed. The whole way in which Exim handles
+headers should be re-planned and re-implemented in a more consistent manner.
+
+These are the main previous items:
+
+Exim 3 Wish List: 41, 85, 149, 187.
+Exim 4 Wish List: 55, 62, 63, 160, 212, 237, 270, 314, 328.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(334) 07-Jun-05 M Support for messages larger than 2G
+
+This is probably a longish-term thing at the moment. Quotas over 2G are now
+supported, but not individual messages; no doubt one day this will be wanted.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(335) 14-Jun-05 T Re-arrange default configuration
+
+A small niggle which might be worth fixing is the ordering of the ACL in the
+default configuration file. The relay_from_hosts and authenticated clauses
+would be better off before the dnslists examples. However, this should be left
+until a x.x0 release, because of the documentation implications.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(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.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(337) 29-Jun-05 S Add "defer" to $recipient_verify_failure
+
+This is for when defer_ok was set when verifying recipients. Since this isn't
+for a failure, we probably also need "ok" for the non-fail case.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(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.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(339) 28-Jul-05 S Log name of maildir file
+
+This wish is for an option to log the name of the file that is written in
+maildir format (e.g. time.pid.host).
