Once the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list. +Version 4.73 +------------ + + 1. A new main configuration option, "openssl_options", is available if Exim + is built with SSL support provided by OpenSSL. The option allows + administrators to specify OpenSSL options to be used on connections; + typically this is to set bug compatibility features which the OpenSSL + developers have not enabled by default. There may be security + consequences for certain options, so these should not be changed + frivolously. + + Version 4.72 ------------ + 1. TWO SECURITY FIXES: one relating to mail-spools which are globally + writable, the other to locking of MBX folders (not mbox). + + 2. MySQL stored procedures are now supported. + + 3. The dkim_domain transport option is now a list, not a single string, and + messages will be signed for each element in the list (discarding + duplicates). + + 4. The 4.70 release unexpectedly changed the behaviour of dnsdb TXT lookups + in the presence of multiple character strings within the RR. Prior to 4.70, + only the first string would be returned. The dnsdb lookup now, by default, + preserves the pre-4.70 semantics, but also now takes an extended output + separator specification. The separator can be followed by a semicolon, to + concatenate the individual text strings together with no join character, + or by a comma and a second separator character, in which case the text + strings within a TXT record are joined on that second character. + Administrators are reminded that DNS provides no ordering guarantees + between multiple records in an RRset. For example: + + foo.example. IN TXT "a" "b" "c" + foo.example. IN TXT "d" "e" "f" + + ${lookup dnsdb{>/ txt=foo.example}} -> "a/d" + ${lookup dnsdb{>/; txt=foo.example}} -> "def/abc" + ${lookup dnsdb{>/,+ txt=foo.example}} -> "a+b+c/d+e+f" + Version 4.70 / 4.71 ------------------- 1. Native DKIM support without an external library. + (Note that if no action to prevent it is taken, a straight upgrade will + result in DKIM verification of all signed incoming emails. See spec + for details on conditionally disabling) 2. Experimental DCC support via dccifd (contributed by Wolfgang Breyha).
