EXIM 4 WISH LIST
----------------
So several warnings could be generated as the mailbox got bigger and bigger.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(146) 15-May-2000 M Allow SMTP error codes in retry rules
-
-This would allow special handling of certain errors from certain hosts. In
-particular, it would allow failing of certain 4xx codes.
-
-This is now available for 4xx responses to RCPT commands. Is anything more
-needed? Apparently, yes; there's been a request for a similar feature for MAIL
-commands.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(148) 15-May-2000 S Warn recipient if message rejected for quota excession.
Heinz Ekker
that it can be used as a safety-net while testing configurations. Instead of a
local bounce, the message stays on the queue; instead of 5xx SMTP responses,
4xx ones are given.
-
-The ability to do the opposite - turn 4xx into 5xx under certain circumstances
-might also be useful (e.g. after a certain time). This might best be done by
-extending the retry logic to recognize 4xx as a special error. (This is now
-done.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(202) 10-Oct-03 S -bvsomething to do a callout after the verify
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(209) 31-Oct-03 S a way of making crashes in pipe commands temporary errors
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(210) 31-Oct-03 S runtime option to change the daemon name used for tcprwappers
changed.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(216) 27-Nov-03 S Option to bounce if required TLS doesn't happen
-
-This is for the smtp transport with hosts_require_tls set. Currently, it
-defers. Possibly the best approach is to make the error one that can be seen by
-the retry logic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(217) 27-Nov-03 M A function to pass back variables from Perl
This is a function that can be called from Perl, to take a name and a value and
both of them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(286) 21-Jul-04 M Distinguishing a larger number of errors
-
-For instance, detecting "connection reset by peer" (ENETRESET or ECONNRESET)
-might be useful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(288) 10-Aug-04 M Option for verify to require MX
e.g. verify=sender/require_mx
enwildlsearch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(350) 28-Feb-06 S Additional errors for retry rules
+(351) 31-Mar-06 ? Allow some/all/a few internal variables to be set
-(i) Unexpected connection close; (ii) mail_4xx.
+The original idea was to allow "set authenticated = x" to pretend a connection
+is authenticated after other conditions are true. This can, of course, be
+packaged up using macros in other ways. Setting other variables could cause
+problems.
