Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
-Exim version 4.81
+
+Exim version 4.83
+-----------------
+
+TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
+
+ When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
+ the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
+ deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
+ delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
+ connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
+ a "Bad file descriptor" error.
+
+TF/02 Portability fix for building lookup modules on Solaris when the xpg4
+ utilities have not been installed.
+
+JH/01 Fix memory-handling in use of acl as a conditional; avoid free of
+ temporary space as the ACL may create new global variables.
+
+TL/01 LDAP support uses per connection or global context settings, depending
+ upon the detected version of the libraries at build time.
+
+TL/02 Experimental Proxy Protocol support: allows a proxied SMTP connection
+ to extract and use the src ip:port in logging and expansions as if it
+ were a direct connection from the outside internet.
+
+JH/02 Add ${listextract {number}{list}{success}{fail}}.
+
+TL/03 Bugzilla 1433: Fix DMARC SEGV with specific From header contents.
+ Properly escape header and check for NULL return.
+
+PP/01 Continue incomplete 4.82 PP/19 by fixing docs too: use dns_dnssec_ok
+ not dns_use_dnssec.
+
+JH/03 Bugzilla 1157: support log_selector smtp_confirmation for lmtp.
+
+TL/04 Add verify = header_names_ascii check to reject email with non-ASCII
+ characters in header names, implemented as a verify condition.
+ Contributed by Michael Fischer v. Mollard.
+
+TL/05 Rename SPF condition results err_perm and err_temp to standardized
+ results permerror and temperror. Previous values are deprecated but
+ still accepted. In a future release, err_perm and err_temp will be
+ completely removed, which will be a backward incompatibility if the
+ ACL tests for either of these two old results. Patch contributed by
+ user bes-internal on the mailing list.
+
+JH/04 Add ${utf8clean:} operator. Contributed by Alex Rau.
+
+JH/05 Bugzilla 305: Log incoming-TLS details on rejects, subject to log
+ selectors, in both main and reject logs.
+
+JH/06 Log outbound-TLS and port details, subject to log selectors, for a
+ failed delivery.
+
+JH/07 Add malware type "sock" for talking to simple daemon.
+
+JH/08 Bugzilla 1371: Add tls_{,try_}verify_hosts to smtp transport.
+
+JH/09 Bugzilla 1431: Support (with limitations) headers_add/headers_remove in
+ routers/transports under cutthrough routing.
+
+JH/10 Bugzilla 1005: ACL "condition =" should accept values which are negative
+ numbers. Touch up "bool" conditional to keep the same definition.
+
+TL/06 Remove duplicated language in spec file from 4.82 TL/16.
+
+JH/11 Add dnsdb tlsa lookup. From Todd Lyons.
+
+JH/12 Expand items in router/transport headers_add or headers_remove lists
+ individually rather than the list as a whole. Bug 1452.
+
+ Required for reasonable handling of multiple headers_ options when
+ they may be empty; requires that headers_remove items with embedded
+ colons must have them doubled (or the list-separator changed).
+
+TL/07 Add new dmarc expansion variable $dmarc_domain_policy to directly
+ view the policy declared in the DMARC record. Currently, $dmarc_status
+ is a combined value of both the record presence and the result of the
+ analysis.
+
+JH/13 Fix handling of $tls_cipher et.al. in (non-verify) transport. Bug 1455.
+
+JH/14 New options dnssec_request_domains, dnssec_require_domains on the
+ dnslookup router (applying to the forward lookup).
+
+TL/08 Bugzilla 1453: New LDAP "SERVERS=" option allows admin to override list
+ of ldap servers used for a specific lookup. Patch provided by Heiko
+ Schlichting.
+
+JH/18 New options dnssec_lax, dnssec_strict on dnsdb lookups.
+ New variable $lookup_dnssec_authenticated for observability.
+
+TL/09 Bugzilla 609: Add -C option to exiqgrep, specify which exim.conf to use.
+ Patch submitted by Lars Timman.
+
+
+Exim version 4.82

+
+JH/08 Strip leading/trailing newlines from add_header ACL modifier data.
+ Bugzilla 884.
+
+JH/09 Add $headers_added variable, with content from use of ACL modifier

+
+JH/10 Add 8bitmime log_selector, for 8bitmime status on the received line.
+ Pulled from Bugzilla 817 by Wolfgang Breyha.
+
+PP/11 SECURITY: protect DKIM DNS decoding from remote exploit.
+ CVE-2012-5671
+ (nb: this is the same fix as in Exim 4.80.1)
+
+JH/11 Add A= logging on delivery lines, and a client_set_id option on
+ authenticators.
+
+JH/12 Add optional authenticated_sender logging to A= and a log_selector
+ for control.
+
+PP/12 Unbreak server_set_id for NTLM/SPA auth, broken by 4.80 PP/29.
+
+PP/13 Dovecot auth: log better reason to rejectlog if Dovecot did not
+ advertise SMTP AUTH mechanism to us, instead of a generic
+ protocol violation error. Also, make Exim more robust to bad
+ data from the Dovecot auth socket.
+
+TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
+
+ When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
+ recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
+ hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
+ any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
+ the retry rules.
+
+ So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
+ deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
+ address never reaches the final cutoff time.
+
+ This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
+ their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
+ to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
+ in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
+
+ This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
+ final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
+ this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
+ domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
+ the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
+ this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
+ delivery, as in LMTP.
+
+ I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
+ redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.
+
+TF/02 Correct gecos expansion when From: is a prefix of the username.
+
+ Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header
+
+ Resent-From: f
+
+ When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
+ the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
+ a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
+ username as equal to the username.
+
+ This change corrects that bug.
+
+GF/01 DCC debug and logging tidyup
+ Error conditions log to paniclog rather than rejectlog.
+ Debug lines prefixed by "DCC: " to remove any ambiguity.
+
+TF/03 Avoid unnecessary rebuilds of lookup-related code.
+
+PP/14 Fix OCSP reinitialisation in SNI handling for Exim/TLS as server.
+ Bug spotted by Jeremy Harris; was flawed since initial commit.
+ Would have resulted in OCSP responses post-SNI triggering an Exim
+ NULL dereference and crash.
+
+JH/13 Add $router_name and $transport_name variables. Bugzilla 308.
+
+PP/15 Define SIOCGIFCONF_GIVES_ADDR for GNU Hurd.
+ Bug detection, analysis and fix by Samuel Thibault.
+ Bugzilla 1331, Debian bug #698092.
+
+SC/01 Update eximstats to watch out for senders sending 'HELO [IpAddr]'
+
+JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
+ Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
+ Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
+ config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
+ advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
+ acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
+ the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
+ The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
+ on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
+ Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
+ PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".
+
+PP/16 Fix problems caused by timeouts during quit ACLs trying to double
+ fclose(). Diagnosis by Todd Lyons.
+
+PP/17 Update configure.default to handle IPv6 localhost better.
+ Patch by Alain Williams (plus minor tweaks).
+ Bugzilla 880.
+
+PP/18 OpenSSL made graceful with empty tls_verify_certificates setting.
+ This is now consistent with GnuTLS, and is now documented: the
+ previous undocumented portable approach to treating the option as
+ unset was to force an expansion failure. That still works, and
+ an empty string is now equivalent.
+
+PP/19 Renamed DNSSEC-enabling option to "dns_dnssec_ok", to make it
+ clearer that Exim is using the DO (DNSSEC OK) EDNS0 resolver flag,
+ not performing validation itself.
+
+PP/20 Added force_command boolean option to pipe transport.
+ Patch from Nick Koston, of cPanel Inc.
+
+JH/15 AUTH support on callouts (and hence cutthrough-deliveries).
+ Bugzilla 321, 823.
+
+TF/04 Added udpsend ACL modifer and hexquote expansion operator
+
+PP/21 Fix eximon continuous updating with timestamped log-files.
+ Broken in a format-string cleanup in 4.80, missed when I repaired the
+ other false fix of the same issue.
+ Report and fix from Heiko Schlichting.
+ Bugzilla 1363.
+
+PP/22 Guard LDAP TLS usage against Solaris LDAP variant.
+ Report from Prashanth Katuri.
+
+PP/23 Support safari_ecdhe_ecdsa_bug for openssl_options.
+ It's SecureTransport, so affects any MacOS clients which use the
+ system-integrated TLS libraries, including email clients.
+
+PP/24 Fix segfault from trying to fprintf() to a NULL stdio FILE* if
+ using a MIME ACL for non-SMTP local injection.
+ Report and assistance in diagnosis by Warren Baker.
+
+TL/08 Adjust exiqgrep to be case-insensitive for sender/receiver.
+
+JH/16 Fix comparisons for 64b. Bugzilla 1385.
+
+TL/09 Add expansion variable $authenticated_fail_id to keep track of
+ last id that failed so it may be referenced in subsequent ACL's.
+
+TL/10 Bugzilla 1375 - Prevent TLS rebinding in ldap. Patch provided by
+ Alexander Miroch.
+
+TL/11 Bugzilla 1382 - Option ldap_require_cert overrides start_tls
+ ldap library initialization, allowing self-signed CA's to be
+ used. Also properly sets require_cert option later in code by
+ using NULL (global ldap config) instead of ldap handle (per
+ session). Bug diagnosis and testing by alxgomz.
+
+TL/12 Enhanced documentation in the ratelimit.pl script provided in
+ the src/util/ subdirectory.
+
+TL/13 Bug 1301 - Imported transport SQL logging patch from Axel Rau
+ renamed to Transport Post Delivery Action by Jeremy Harris, as
+ EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA.
+
+TL/14 Bugzilla 1217 - Redis lookup support has been added. It is only enabled
+ when Exim is compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_REDIS. A new config variable
+ redis_servers = needs to be configured which will be used by the redis
+ lookup. Patch from Warren Baker, of The Packet Hub.
+
+TL/15 Fix exiqsumm summary for corner case. Patch provided by Richard Hall.
+
+TL/16 Bugzilla 1289 - Clarify host/ip processing when have errors looking up a
+ hostname or reverse DNS when processing a host list. Used suggestions
+ from multiple comments on this bug.
+
+TL/17 Bugzilla 1057 - Multiple clamd TCP targets patch from Mark Zealey.
+
+TL/18 Had previously added a -CONTINUE option to runtest in the test suite.
+ Missed a few lines, added it to make the runtest require no keyboard
+ interaction.
+
+TL/19 Bugzilla 1402 - Test 533 fails if any part of the path to the test suite
+ contains upper case chars. Make router use caseful_local_part.
+
+TL/20 Bugzilla 1400 - Add AVOID_GNUTLS_PKCS11 build option. Allows GnuTLS
+ support when GnuTLS has been built with p11-kit.
