-PH/05 It is now possible to redefine a macro within the configuration file.
- The macro must have been previously defined within the configuration (or
- an included file). A definition on the command line using the -D option
- causes all definitions and redefinitions within the file to be ignored.
- In other words, -D overrides any values that are set in the file.
- Redefinition is specified by using '==' instead of '='. For example:
-
- MAC1 = initial value
- ...
- MAC1 == updated value
-
- Redefinition does not alter the order in which the macros are applied to
- the subsequent lines of the configuration file. It is still the same
- order in which the macros were originally defined. All that changes is
- the macro's value. Redefinition makes it possible to accumulate values.
- For example:
-
- MAC1 = initial value
- ...
- MAC1 == MAC1 and something added
-
- This can be helpful in situations where the configuration file is built
- from a number of other files.
-
-PH/06 Macros may now be defined or redefined between router, transport,
- authenticator, or ACL definitions, as well as in the main part of the
- configuration. They may not, however, be changed within an individual
- driver or ACL, or in the local_scan, retry, or rewrite sections of the
- configuration.
-
-PH/07 $acl_verify_message is now set immediately after the failure of a
- verification in an ACL, and so is available in subsequent modifiers. In
- particular, the message can be preserved by coding like this:
-
- warn !verify = sender
- set acl_m0 = $acl_verify_message
-
- Previously, $acl_verify_message was set only while expanding "message"
- and "log_message" when a very denied access.
-
-PH/08 The redirect router has two new options, sieve_useraddress and
- sieve_subaddress. These are passed to a Sieve filter to specify the :user
- and :subaddress parts of an address. Both options are unset by default.
- However, when a Sieve filter is run, if sieve_useraddress is unset, the
- entire original local part (including any prefix or suffix) is used for
- :user. An unset subaddress is treated as an empty subaddress.
-
-PH/09 Quota values can be followed by G as well as K and M.
-
-PH/10 $message_linecount is a new variable that contains the total number of
- lines in the header and body of the message. Compare $body_linecount,
- which is the count for the body only. During the DATA and
- content-scanning ACLs, $message_linecount contains the number of lines
- received. Before delivery happens (that is, before filters, routers, and
- transports run) the count is increased to include the Received: header
- line that Exim standardly adds, and also any other header lines that are
- added by ACLs. The blank line that separates the message header from the
- body is not counted. Here is an example of the use of this variable in a
- DATA ACL:
-
- deny message = Too many lines in message header
- condition = \
- ${if <{250}{${eval: $message_linecount - $body_linecount}}}
-
- In the MAIL and RCPT ACLs, the value is zero because at that stage the
- message has not yet been received.
-
-PH/11 In a ${run expansion, the variable $value (which contains the standard
- output) is now also usable in the "else" string.
