This + is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient + verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case + the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special + case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g. + rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL + address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection. + Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is + left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying + RCPT means that the domain itself is ok). + +PH/02 Tidied a number of unused variable and signed/unsigned warnings that + gcc 4.1.1 threw up. + +PH/03 On Solaris, an unexpectedly close socket (dropped connection) can + manifest itself as EPIPE rather than ECONNECT. When tidying away a + session, the daemon ignores ECONNECT errors and logs others; it now + ignores EPIPE as well. + +PH/04 Applied Nico Erfurth's refactoring patch to tidy up mime.c + (quoted-printable decoding). + +PH/05 Applied Nico Erfurth's refactoring patch to tidy up spool_mbox.c, and + later the small subsequent patch to fix an introduced bug. + +PH/06 Installed the latest Cygwin Makefile from the Cygwin maintainer. + +PH/07 There was no check for overflow in expansions such as ${if >{1}{4096M}}. + +PH/08 An error is now given if message_size_limit is specified negative. + +PH/09 Applied and tidied up Jakob Hirsch's patch for allowing ACL variables + to be given (somewhat) arbitrary names. + +JJ/01 exipick 20060919.0, allow for arbitrary acl_ variables introduced + in 4.64-PH/09. + +JJ/02 exipick 20060919.0, --show-vars args can now be regular expressions, + miscellaneous code fixes + +PH/10 Added the log_reject_target ACL modifier to specify where to log + rejections. + +PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_ + hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and + probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing + callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been + changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport + instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If + there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host + addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used. + +PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various + tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work: + (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer + overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format() + function. + (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum + hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring. + (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function. + Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function. + (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well. + (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify + service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its + interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and + changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now. + +PH/13 Added $message_headers_raw to provide the headers without RFC 2047 + decoding. + +PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the + address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without + -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a + successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However, + with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A + failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C, + with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's + parentage before showing the successful verification of C. + +PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to + look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined + list. + +PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and + RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when + they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they + wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some + cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups). + To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to + host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument + containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now + sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp + transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to + host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses + of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES + (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents). + +PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make + spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary + switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is + overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist. + Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the + str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first + character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement. + + Exim version 4.63 ----------------- @@ -93,20 +208,60 @@ PH/16 Recognize SMTP codes at the start of "message" in ACLs and after :fail: and :defer: in a redirect router.
