The dkim_timestamps signing option now accepts zero to include a current + timestamp but no expiry timestamp. Code by Simon Arlott; testsuite + additions by jgh - 4. Single-key LMDB lookups, previously experimental, are now supported. - The support is not built unless specified in the Local/Makefile. + 4. The recipients_max main option is now expanded - 5. Option "message_linelength_limit" on the smtp transport to enforce (by - default) the RFC 998 character limit. + 5. Setting variables for "exim -be" can set a tainted value - 6. An option to ignore the cache on a lookup. + 6. A dns:fail event - 7. Quota checking during reception (i.e. at SMTP time) for appendfile- - transport-managed quotas. + 7. The dsearch lookup supports search for a sub-path - 8. Sqlite lookups accept a "file=" option to specify a per-operation - db file, replacing the previous prefix to the SQL string (which had - issues when the SQL used tainted values). + 8. Include mailtest utility for simple connection checking - 9. Lsearch lookups accept a "ret=full" option, to return both the portion - of the line matching the key, and the remainder. + 9. Add SMTP WELLKNOWN extension -10. A command-line option to have a daemon not create a notifier socket. + 10. Sqlite3 can be used for the hints databases (vs. DBD, NDB, GBDM, TDB). + Add "USE_SQLITE = y" and "DBMLIB = -lsqlite3" in Local/Makefile, to + override the settings done in the OS/Makefile- file -11.
