Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
PH/37 If a message is not accepted after it has had an id assigned (e.g.
because it turns out to be too big or there is a timeout) there is no
- "Completed" line in the log. When such a message was selected by exigrep,
- it was listed as "not completed". Such messages can be identified by the
- lack of a "<=" line in the log, and they are now listed as "not
- accepted".
+ "Completed" line in the log. When some messages of this type were
+ selected by exigrep, they were listed as "not completed". Others were
+ picked up by some special patterns. I have improved the selection
+ criteria to be more general.
PH/38 The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router can now be set
to "ignore", to completely ignore a host whose IP address cannot be
found. If all hosts are ignored, the behaviour is controlled by the new
host_all_ignored option.
+PH/39 In a list of hosts for manualroute, if one item (either because of multi-
+ homing or because of multiple MX records with /mx) generated more than
+ one IP address, and the following item turned out to be the local host,
+ all the secondary addresses of the first item were incorrectly removed
+ from the list, along with the local host and any following hosts (which
+ is what is supposed to happen).
+
+PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of
+ whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was
+ behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
+ started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
+ calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
+ uses the Exim user.
+
+PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a
+ message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad
+ sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
+ with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
+ RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
+ intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their
+ users.
+
+PH/42 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
