Added -dd to debug only the daemon process. +20. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it + handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the + CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility). + +21. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp". + It is now set to "smtps". + +22. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of + ignore_target_hosts. + +23. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was + being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if + matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely, + since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as + "[x.x.x.x]". + +24. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the + code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in + modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug. + +25. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore + SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to + wake it up if nothing else does. + +26. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values + for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result. + The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount + end up negative. + +27. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this + support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H. + +28. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore. + +29. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty + subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an + empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong + because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a + database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are + lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to + contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty + address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty. + +30. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the + host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more + than one IP address. + +31. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a + function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former + is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space, + $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes. + +32. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings + such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for + encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and + generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I + have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from + 1024 to 2048 bytes. + +33. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the + condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string + is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less + cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions. + +34. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if + there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now + respected. + Exim version 4.43 -----------------
