EXIM 4 WISH LIST
----------------
address?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(172) 11-Sep-2000 S Allow file/directory in appendfile to override
-"Michael J. Tubby"
-
-When appendfile is called from forward or filter files, it ignores file or
-directory settings. Maybe they should override. The path set by the forward or
-filter is available in $address_file these days, so it could be used to create
-a longer path.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(173) 18-Sep-2000 S A way of doing lsearches with EOL terminated keys
Jason Robertson
exim_dbmbuild to make them into DBM files.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(174) 19-Sep-2000 S A way of using a different port for fallback hosts.
-Dean Brooks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(181) 10-Nov-2000 S Compile-time options for ignoring Sendmail options
So that new ones could be accommodated easily.
headers_remove = "X-*:Additional-header"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(188) 02-Jan-2001 S Make pipe timeout a temporary error
-Georg v.Zezschwitz
-
-A way to make a timeout into a temporary error.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(190) 03-Jan-2001 M Multiple message operations in eximon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
might have. At ACL time, one would need to verify the recipient, and determine
that it routed to host X.
-. A new lookup library that operates on a specially prepared file of IP
-addresses and masks so that a single "lookup" yields a yes/no answer. This
-should be a freestanding thing - needs a utility to build the file from a list.
-
. People want to change the wording of messages; can we find an efficient way
of allowing this? (Maybe put all messages into a separate module?) The problem
is not in the messages themselves, but in the values that get inserted into
. Implement randomize for ldap/sql servers.
. Add an option for ETRN that says "wait for the command to finish, and use its
-stdout as the SMTP response."
+stdout as the SMTP response." // A serialized ETRN now does the waiting, but
+there is as yet no way to use the status. //
. -odsomething for "ignore retry when doing immediate delivery".
it were 4xx. Or possible add a sophisticated "after command X, treat xxx as
yyy".
-. A way of rewriting addresses in non-standard header lines such as
-Mail-Followup-To.
-
. Global option to enable initgroups() for exim uid. Default off.
. When verifying a sender, should it be rewritten with any T rewrites, because
. Options and/or a utility to enable non-privileged users to view the queue
(e.g. -bpp), manipulate their own messages, etc.
-. Specify a port along with a host in a route_list.
-
. A generalized "From" escaping scheme that also escapes >From so that the
whole thing can be reversed.
John W Baxter
May be tricky, because at the higher levels, the format of the query is not
-understood.

-(8) 01-Jan-02 S Expand once_repeat in autoreply
-John Jetmore
+understood. // There is now a fudge that works in some cases. See ChangeLog
+4.51/PH/10. //
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(9) 01-Jan-02 S Headers as well as body in file for autoreply
copies to the same address.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(73) 17-Jul-02 M Match a list from within a condition
-
-e.g. ${if matchdomain {$domain}{+domainlist} ...
- ${if matchhost {$sender_host_address}{1.2.3.4/10:2.3.4.5/16}...
-
-Thought needed about how to handle host names. This may be too messy to specify
-cleanly.
-
-22-Apr-04: Implemented for domains, addresses, and local parts. Hosts are
-too messy!
-
-The only sensible approach seems to be to allow IP address arguments only.
-Anything else should be diagnosed as an error. However, if a name appears in
-the list, a PTR lookup should be done. This may require a lot of refactoring
-in the code, because of the current assumption that were are (almost) always
-dealing with THE sending host.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(74) 22-Jul-02 M Extend -bV to do more semantic checking
For example, diagnose "local_hosts" that should probably be "+local_hosts".
Suggested patch supplied.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(171) 23-Jun-03 S Option to make timeout a soft failure on pipe transport
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(172) 23-Jun-03 M Option to make SQL query to specific server
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
solutions with a similar requirement."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(320) 03-Mar-05 T Options to control daemon retry binding
-
-Currently the daemon tries 10 times at 30-second intervals to listen on an IP
-address. The wish is for options to control these numbers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
(321) 07-Mar-05 S Run an ACL on a sync error
... and possibly "accept" or "deny" it.
supported, but not individual messages; no doubt one day this will be wanted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(335) 14-Jun-05 T Re-arrange default configuration
+(336) 16-Jun-05 M Show recipient(s) after header check failure
+
+The mainlog line for "There is no valid sender in any header line" shows the
+sending host and the envelope sender, but does not show any recipients. There
+has been a request to show recipients. Presumably this should be on some new
+log selector, and it must have a cutoff maximum number of recipients. NOTE: the
+data in the reject log does show the envelope recipients as part of its
+additional data.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(337) 29-Jun-05 S Add "defer" to $recipient_verify_failure
+
+This is for when defer_ok was set when verifying recipients. Since this isn't
+for a failure, we probably also need "ok" for the non-fail case.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(338) 14-Jul-05 M Change to Bind 9 API
+
+Exim uses the original API for calling the DNS resolver. There is a newer API
+available, and noises are being made in some OS that compatibility with the old
+API is going to be dropped. Nevertheless, there are sure to be systems about
+for ages that require the use of the old API. Therefore, we will have to
+implement not only an interface to the new API, but a backwards compatibility
+feature. It would be nice if this was automatic.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(339) 28-Jul-05 S Log name of maildir file
+
+This wish is for an option to log the name of the file that is written in
+maildir format (e.g. time.pid.host).
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(340) 30-Aug-05 M Match more than one item
+
+match_address, for instance, matches one address to a list. The wish is to be
+able to supply two lists; for each address in the first list, search the
+second. Maybe something like ${match_any{...}{...}} is needed.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(341) 15-Sep-05 S Add /return_path_retain to submission mode
+
+This would re-instate the behaviour prior to change 4.52/TF/02.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(342) 26-Sep-05 T Log and maybe defer odd values for condition pre-condition
+
+Odd values for "condition" in an ACL cause it to defer. In a router, they are
+treated as "true". At least they should be logged in a router, and perhaps they
+should also defer, for compatibility with ACLs.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(343) 03-Oct-05 M A query-style lookup for scanning flat files
+
+The natural syntax for this would be to use a regex, like this:
+${lookup regex{/some/file regex}{found-string}{not-found-string}}
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(344) 10-Oct-05 M Make debug_print work in authenticators
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(345) 14-Oct-05 M Standardize rejection messages
+
+"The parsing for rejection lines is a bit of a mess, and fairly
+unmaintainable. Do you think it would be possible to standardise
+rejection/refusal log messages? How about something like:
+
+(<ID>|16 Spaces) *< (Connection|MAIL|RCPT|HELO|EHLO|DATA) rejected (from
+<Address>)?: <Reason> (\(<Detail>\))?"
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(346) 20-Oct-05 S Set $domain and $local_part in retry matching
+
+Currently, these variables are unset. Make it like rewrite matching.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(347) 15-Nov-05 M Arrange to expand data from wildlsearch
+
+This would allow keys that are regular expressions to set up numerical
+variables that are included in the data. This has to be done inside the lookup
+code, because of caching. Probably means we have to invent ewildlsearch and
+enwildlsearch.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(348) 17-Nov-05 S Option to allow AUTH when not advertised.
-A small niggle which might be worth fixing is the ordering of the ACL in the
-default configuration file. The relay_from_hosts and authenticated clauses
-would be better off before the dnslists examples. However, this should be left
-until a x.x0 release, because of the documentation implications.
+It seems that there are clients that send AUTH when it hasn't been advertised,
+some even after HELO, not even EHLO. Sigh. Possibly this should be an ACL
+control, to enable it to be restricted to certain hosts.
