I have + applied a patch sanctioned by the Sieve maintainer. + +PH/34 Change 4.50/80 broke Exim in that it could no longer handle cases where + the uid or gid is negative. A case of a negative gid caused this to be + noticed. The fix allows for either to be negative. + +PH/35 ACL_WHERE_MIME is now declared unconditionally, to avoid too much code + clutter, but the tables that are indexed by ACL_WHERE_xxx values had been + overlooked. + +PH/36 The change PH/12 above was broken. Fixed it. + +PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on + the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the + same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no + longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous + routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies + went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's + behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given. + + I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete. + Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote + transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be + done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are + presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance. + + For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking + still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be + routed further. + +PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner. + It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The + background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a + connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan + spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it + blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out." + +PH/39 Allow G after quota size as well as K and M. + +PH/40 The value set for $authenticated_id in an authenticator may not contain + binary zeroes or newlines because the value is written to log lines and + to spool files. There was no check on this. Now the value is run through + the string_printing() function so that such characters are converted to + printable escape sequences. + +PH/41 $message_linecount is a new variable that contains the total number of + lines in the message. Compare $body_linecount, which is the count for the + body only. + +PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in + bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which + are as follows: + + (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host; + (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection; + (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter; + (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router; + (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option. + + In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and + warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such + as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given. + +PH/43 $value is now also set for the "else" part of a ${run expansion. + +PH/44 Applied patch from the Sieve maintainer: "The vacation draft is still + being worked on, but at least Exim now implements the latest version to + play with." + +PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe + process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while + writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a + successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For + consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now + treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However, + there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called + timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for + both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in + the log output. + +PH/46 The "scripts/Configure-config.h" script calls "make" at one point. On + systems where "make" and "gmake" are different, calling "gmake" at top + level broke things. I've arranged for the value of $(MAKE) to be passed + from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of + "make". A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
