Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file.
- 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the
+ 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the
computation of the current number of files was incorrect.
+ 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
+ bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
+ place.
+
+ 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
+ filter fails to execute.
+
+ 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
+ subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
+ was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
+ now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
+ filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
+
+ 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
+
+ 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
+ descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
+ unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
+ systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
+
+ 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
+ was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
+ controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
+ "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
+ control that does not make sense is encountered.
+
+ 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission".
+
+10. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
+
+11. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
+ received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
+ failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
+ cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
+
+12. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
+ of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
+ sender verification.
+
+13. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
+ $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.
+
+14. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.
+
+15. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different
+ connection timeout.
