 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------
 

+Exim version 4.63
+-----------------
+
+SC/01 Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in eximstats generated
+      parser. This improves both readability and performance.
+
+SC/02 Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics in eximstats.
+      Don't display local sender or destination tables in eximstats unless
+      there is data to show.
+      Added average volumes into the eximstats top table text output.
+
+SC/03 Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients) as well
+      as the number of messages in eximstats.
+
+TF/01 Correct an error in the documentation for the redirect router. Exim
+      does (usually) call initgroups() when daemonizing.
+
+TF/02 Call initgroups() when dropping privilege in exim.c, so that Exim runs with
+      consistent privilege compared to when running as a daemon.
+
+TF/03 Note in the spec that $authenticated_id is not set for local
+      submissions from trusted users.
+
+TF/04 The ratelimit per_rcpt option now works correctly in acl_not_smtp.
+      Thanks to Dean Brooks <dean@iglou.com> for the patch.
+
+TF/05 Make it easier to get SMTP authentication and TLS/SSL support working
+      by adding some example configuration directives to the default
+      configuration file. A little bit of work is required to uncomment the
+      directives and define how usernames and passwords are checked, but
+      there is now a framework to start from.
+
+PH/01 Added #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 to ldap.c because some of the "old"
+      functions that Exim currently uses aren't defined in ldap.h for OpenLDAP
+      without this. I don't know how relevant this is to other LDAP libraries.
+
+PH/02 Add the verb name to the "unknown ACL verb" error.
+
+PH/03 Magnus Holmgren's patch for filter_prepend_home.
+
+
+Exim version 4.62
+-----------------
+
+TF/01 Fix the add_header change below (4.61 PH/55) which had a bug that (amongst
+      other effects) broke the use of negated acl sub-conditions.
+
+PH/01 ${readsocket now supports Internet domain sockets (modified John Jetmore
+      patch).
+
+PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
+      "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
+      Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
+      tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
+      kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
+      Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
+      554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
+      if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
+      451 error is used.
+
+PH/03 Add -lutil to the default FreeBSD LIBS setting.
+
+PH/04 Change PH/19 for 4.61 was too wide. It should not be applied to host
+      errors. Otherwise a message that provokes a temporary error (when other
+      messages do not) can cause a whole host to time out.
+
+PH/05 Batch deliveries by appendfile and pipe transports did not work when the
+      addresses were routed directly to files or pipes from a redirect router.
+      File deliveries just didn't batch; pipe deliveries might have suffered
+      odd errors.
+
+PH/06 A failure to get a lock for a hints database would erroneously always say
+      "Failed to get write lock", even when it was really a read lock.
+
+PH/07 The appendfile transport was creating MBX lock files with a fixed mode
+      of 0600. This has been changed to use the value of the lockfile_mode
+      option (which defaults to 0600).
+
+PH/08 Applied small patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
+      folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
+      up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
+      used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
+      was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
+      excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
+      processing for deliveries into excluded directories.
+
+PH/10 Added the maildirfolder_create_regex option to appendfile.
+
+

+PH/59 Added the following errors that can be detected in retry rules: mail_4xx,
+      data_4xx, lost_connection, tls_required.
+
+PH/60 When a VRFY deferred or FAILED, the log message rather than the user
+      message was being sent as an SMTP response.
+
+PH/61 Add -l and -k options to exicyclog.
+
+PH/62 When verifying, if an address was redirected to one new address, so that
+      verification continued, and the new address failed or deferred after
+      having set something in $address_data, the value of $address_data was not
+      passed back to the ACL. This was different to the case when no
+      redirection occurred. The value is now passed back in both cases.
+
+PH/63 Changed the macro HAVE_LOGIN_CAP (see PH/41 for this release above) to
+      HAVE_SETCLASSRESOURCES because there are different APIs in use that all
+      use login_cap.h, so on its own it isn't the distinguishing feature. The
+      new name refers directly to the setclassresources() function.
+
+PH/65 Added configuration files for NetBSD3.
+
+PH/66 Updated OS/Makefile-HP-UX for gcc 4.1.0 with HP-UX 11.
+
+PH/67 Fixed minor infelicity in the sorting of addresses to ensure that IPv6
+      is preferred over IPv4.
+
+PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being
+      honoured for bounces generated during the reception of non-SMTP messages.
+      In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
+      been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
+      body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
+      include only those that have been read before the error was detected.
+      (In the case of an ACL rejection, they have all been read.)
+
+PH/69 The HTML version of the specification is now built in a directory called
+      spec_html instead of spec.html, because the latter looks like a path with
+      a MIME-type, and this confuses some software.
+
+PH/70 Catch two compiler warnings in sieve.c.
+
+PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
+      function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
+      if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
+      socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
+      between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
+      the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
+      descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
+      not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
+      the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
+      this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
+      uses, but I've fixed it anyway.
+
+PH/72 Make dns_again_means_nonexist apply to lookups using gethostbyname() as
+      well as to direct DNS lookups. Otherwise the handling of names in host
+      lists is inconsistent and therefore confusing.
