EXIM 4 WISH LIST
----------------
(15) 01-Jan-02 M More hooks like local_scan()
One request has been for a similar hook at logging time. For other SMTP
-interactions, maybe a hook into the ACL? See also 79 and 218.
+interactions, maybe a hook into the ACL? See also 79 and 218 and 301.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(17) 11-Jan-02 M The construction of config.h needs refactoring
radical suggestion for a complete re-design, and is therefore BIG.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(222) 19-Dec-03 S Iterative option for dnsdb
-
-A way of getting a dnsdb lookup to chop off components until something is
-found: e.g. ${lookup dndsb-i{ns=a.b.c.d}} would look for nameservers for
-a.b.c.d, then b.c.d, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(223) 22-Dec-03 S Support SOA lookup in dnsdb lookups
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, if allow_filter is set, either kind of filter is permitted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+(301) 27-Oct-04 M Use an "ACL" to filter logging
+
+This idea was for ACL syntax to be able to "accept" or "deny" individual log
+lines. This would make it possible to have, for example, per-host logging for
+certain things. See also 15 above.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(302) 28-Oct-04 M Expand pass_router and redirect_router
+
+Doing this would mean postponing the validity checks till the router was
+actually used instead of doing them at start up. It does not seem to be a
+facility that will be widely used.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(303) 28-Oct-04 M Support SQL relay
+
+This would make it easier for packagers to support "generic SQL" without having
+to choose which one. It can be slotted in using a MySQL interface without
+modifying Exim, but native support would be nice.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(304) 02-Nov-04 M A way of seeing the whole message in Perl or ${run
+
+At present, the headers are available in $message_headers, but only part of
+the body is visible. The only way to pass the whole body would be as a file
+descriptor because it can be very large. See also (42).
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(305) 02-Nov-04 M A Perl transport
+
+The suggestion here is that an embedded Perl function takes responsibility for
+doing the delivery. I am not at all keen on this. One way of doing it would be
+to implement (244), which provides an "on success" string expansion. Then
+anyone who wants this could run that on a transport that does nothing.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(306) 09-Nov-04 M Make the search type partial-lsearch*@ be useful
+
+At present, it treats the whole key as a domain for the partial search, then
+does the *@ thing. A more sensible plan would be something like:
+
+ user@company.com
+ *@company.com
+ user@*.company.com
+ *@*.company.com
+ *
+
+That is, try the local part and * at each of the partial domain values.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(307) 24-Nov-04 S Check the syntax of Message-ID: header lines
+
+This could be added to "verify=header_syntax" or, if the incompatibility is
+felt to be too great, an additional condition, or a sub-option, could be added.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(308) 24-Nov-04 S Add $body_longlinecount and $header_longlinecount
+
+These variables would hold the number of physical lines in the body and header
+that were longer than 998 bytes. This would be fiddly to implement because of
+the way Exim currently reads the input. It isn't just a trivial patch.
