I have changed it to + "/bin:/usr/bin". + +PH/04 SUPPORT_TRANSLATE_IP_ADDRESS and MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES did not cause + anything to be listed in the output from -bV. + + +Exim version 4.54 +----------------- + +PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was + set to 36 (for Darwin and Cygwin), but the ${base62d: operator did not. + It now does. + +PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on + the CVS lines, and there was a missing #if HAVE_IPV6 in host.c. + +PH/03 Typo: missing ".o" in src/pcre/Makefile. + +PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-" + header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929. + Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as + non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated + anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.) + +TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax + errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option + now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters + but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain + or /domain=). + +PH/05 Some modifications to the interface to the fake nameserver for the new + testing suite. + + Exim version 4.53 ----------------- @@ -124,10 +191,106 @@ PH/29 Added "crypteq" to the list of supported features that Exim outputs when PH/30 Fixed (presumably very longstanding) bug in exim_dbmbuild: if it failed because an input line was too long, either on its own, or by virtue of - too many continuations, the temporary file was not being removed. + too many continuations, the temporary file was not being removed, and the + return code was incorrect. PH/31 Missing "BOOL" in function definition in filtertest.c. +PH/32 Applied Sieve patches from the maintainer. + +TK/05 Domainkeys: Accomodate for a minor API change in libdomainkeys 0.67. + +PH/33 Added "verify = not_blind". + +PH/34 There are settings for CHOWN_COMMAND and MV_COMMAND that can be used in + Local/Makefile (with some defaults set). These are used in built scripts + such as exicyclog, but they have never been used in the exim_install + script (though there are many overriding facilities there). I have + arranged that the exim_install script now takes note of these two + settings. + +PH/35 Installed configuration files for Dragonfly. + +PH/36 When a locally submitted message by a trusted user did not contain a + From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP + MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender + name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From: + header. Furthermore, $originator_name was used for submission mode + messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way, + which is clearly wrong. + +PH/37 Added control=suppress_local_fixups. + +PH/38 When log_selector = +received_sender was set, and the addition of the + sender made the log line's construction buffer exactly full, or one byte + less than full, an overflow happened when the terminating "\n" was + subsequently added. + +PH/39 Added a new log selector, "unknown_in_list", which provokes a log entry + when the result of a list match is failure because a DNS lookup failed. + +PH/40 RM_COMMAND is now used in the building process. + +PH/41 Added a "distclean" target to the top-level Makefile; it deletes all + the "build-* directories that it finds. + +PH/42 (But a TF fix): In a domain list, Exim incorrectly matched @[] if the IP + address in a domain literal was a prefix of an interface address. + +PH/43 (Again a TF fix): In the dnslookup router, do not apply widen_domains + when verifying a sender address, unless rewrite_headers is false. + +PH/44 Wrote a long comment about why errors_to addresses are verified as + recipients, not senders. + +TF/01 Add missing LIBS=-lm to OS/Makefile-OpenBSD which was overlooked when + the ratelimit ACL was added. + +PH/45 Added $smtp_command for the full command (cf $smtp_command_argument). + +PH/46 Added extra information about PostgreSQL errors to the error string. + +PH/47 Added an interface to a fake DNS resolver for use by the new test suite, + avoiding the need to install special zones in a real server. This is + backwards compatible; if it can't find the fake resolver, it drops back. + Thus, both old and new test suites can be run. + +TF/02 Added util/ratelimit.pl + +TF/03 Minor fix to the ratelimit code to improve its behaviour in case the + clock is set back in time. + +TF/04 Fix the ratelimit support in exim_fixdb. Patch provided by Brian + Candler . + +TF/05 The fix for PH/43 was not completely correct; widen_domains is always + OK for addresses that are the result of redirections. + +PH/48 A number of further additions for the benefit of the new test suite, + including a fake gethostbyname() that interfaces to the fake DNS resolver + (see PH/47 above). + +TF/06 The fix for widen_domains has also been applied to qualify_single and + search_parents which are the other dnslookup options that can cause + header rewrites. + +PH/49 Michael Haardt's randomized retrying, but as a separate retry parameter + type ("H"). + +PH/50 Make never_users, trusted_users, admin_groups, trusted_groups expandable. + +TF/07 Exim produced the error message "an SRV record indicated no SMTP + service" if it encountered an MX record with an empty target hostname. + The message is now "an MX or SRV record indicated no SMTP service". + +TF/08 Change PH/13 introduced the possibility that verify=helo may defer, + if the DNS of the sending site is misconfigured. This is quite a + common situation. This change restores the behaviour of treating a + helo verification defer as a failure. + +PH/51 If self=fail was set on a router, the bounce message did not include the + actual error message. + Exim version 4.52 -----------------
