Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
Exim version 4.64
-----------------
+TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
+ leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
+ While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
+ filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
+ these files.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
+ processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
+ triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
+
+TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
+ in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
+ hence the _LINUX specificness.
+
TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,
there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any
header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
PH/28 Fixed bug in backwards-compatibility feature of PH/09 (thanks to John
Jetmore). It would have mis-read ACL variables from pre-4.61 spool files.
-PH/29 After an address error (typically a 4xx response from a server), Exim
- always tries the failing address if it appears in a new message, but
- respects the retry time otherwise. This was implemented by checking for
- being in a queue run, which isn't quite right. Now it checks the
- "first_delivery" flag instead.
+PH/29 [Removed. This was a change that I later backed out, and forgot to
+ correct the ChangeLog entry (that I had efficiently created) before
+ committing the later change.]
PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
hammering the server.
+PH/31 Installed Andrew Findlay's patch to close the writing end of the socket
+ in ${readsocket because some servers need this prod.
+
+PH/32 Added some extra debug output when updating a wait-xxx database.
+
+PH/33 The hint "could be header name not terminated by colon", which has been
+ given for certain expansion errors for a long time, was not being given
+ for the ${if def:h_colon_omitted{... case.
+
+PH/34 The spec says: "With one important exception, whenever a domain list is
+ being scanned, $domain contains the subject domain." There was at least
+ one case where this was not true.
+
+PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
+ written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
+ panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
+ removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
+ fails.
+
+PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
+ runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
+ that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
+ message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
+ things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
+ server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
+ I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
+ based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
+ can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
+ smtp transport.
+
+PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the
+ remote server are returned as part of bounce messages. This was not
+ happening for LMTP over a pipe (the lmtp transport), but now it is the
+ same for both kinds of LMTP.
+
+PH/38 Despite being documented as not happening, Exim was rewriting addresses
+ in header lines that were in fact CNAMEs. This is no longer the case.
+
+PH/39 If -R or -S was given with -q<time>, the effect of -R or -S was ignored,
+ and queue runs started by the daemon processed all messages. This has
+ been fixed so that -R and -S can now usefully be given with -q<time>.
+
+PH/40 Import PCRE release 6.7 (fixes some bugs).
+
+PH/41 Add bitwise logical operations to eval (courtesy Brad Jorsch).
+
+PH/42 Give an error if -q is specified more than once.
+
+PH/43 Renamed the variables $interface_address and $interface_port as
+ $received_ip_address and $received_port, to make it clear that these
+ values apply to message reception, and not to the outgoing interface when
+ a message is delivered. (The old names remain recognized, of course.)
+
+PH/44 There was no timeout on the connect() call when using a Unix domain
+ socket in the ${readsocket expansion. There now is.
+
+PH/45 Applied a modified version of Brad Jorsch's patch to allow "message" to
+ be meaningful with "accept".
+
+SC/01 Eximstats V1.43
+ Bug fix for V1.42 with -h0 specified. Spotted by Chris Lear.
+
+SC/02 Eximstats V1.44
+ Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in the generated
+ parser. This improves both readability and performance.
+
+SC/03 Eximstats V1.45 (Marco Gaiarin / Steve Campbell)
+ Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics.
+ Don't display local sender or destination tables unless
+ there is data to show.
+ Added average volumes into the top table text output.
+
+SC/04 Eximstats V1.46
+ Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients)
+ as well as the number of messages.
+
+SC/05 Eximstats V1.47
+ Added 'Message too big' to the list of mail rejection
+ reasons (thanks to Marco Gaiarin).
+
+SC/06 Eximstats V1.48
+ Mainlog lines which have GMT offsets and are too short to
+ have a flag are now skipped.
+
+SC/07 Eximstats V1.49 (Alain Williams)
+ Added the -emptyok flag.
+
+SC/08 Eximstats V1.50
+ Fixes for obtaining the IP address from reject messages.
+
+JJ/03 exipick.20061117.2, made header handling as similar to exim as possible
+ (added [br]h_ prefixes, implemented RFC2047 decoding. Fixed
+ whitesspace changes from 4.64-PH/27
+
+JJ/04 exipick.20061117.2, fixed format and added $message_headers_raw to
+ match 4.64-PH/13
+
+JJ/05 exipick.20061117.2, bug fixes (error out sooner when invalid criteria
+ are found, allow negative numbers in numeric criteria)
+
+JJ/06 exipick.20061117.2, added new $message_body_missing variable
+
+JJ/07 exipick.20061117.2, added $received_ip_address and $received_port
+ to match changes made in 4.64-PH/43
+
+PH/46 Applied Jori Hamalainen's patch to add features to exiqsumm.
+
+PH/47 Put in an explicit test for a DNS lookup of an address record where the
+ "domain" is actually an IP address, and force a failure. This locks out
+ those revolvers/nameservers that support "A-for-A" lookups, in
+ contravention of the specifications.
+
+PH/48 When a host name was looked up from an IP address, and the subsequent
+ forward lookup of the name timed out, the host name was left in
+ $sender_host_name, contrary to the specification.
+
+PH/49 Although default lookup types such as lsearch* or cdb*@ have always been
+ restricted to single-key lookups, Exim was not diagnosing an error if
+ * or *@ was used with a query-style lookup.
+
+PH/50 Increased the value of DH_BITS in tls-gnu.c from 768 to 1024.
+
+MH/01 local_scan ABI version incremented to 1.1. It should have been updated
+ long ago, but noone interested enough thought of it. Let's just say that
+ the "1.1" means that there are some new functions that weren't there at
+ some point in the past.
+
+PH/51 Error processing for expansion failure of helo_data from an smtp
+ transport during callout processing was broken.
+
+PH/52 Applied John Jetmore's patch to allow tls-on-connect and STARTTLS to be
+ tested/used via the -bh/-bhc/-bs options.
+
+PH/53 Added missing "#include <time.h>" to pcre/pcretest.c (this was a PCRE
+ bug, fixed in subsequent PCRE releases).
+
+PH/54 Applied Robert Bannocks' patch to avoid a problem with references that
+ arises when using the Solaris LDAP libraries (but not with OpenLDAP).
+
