The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in + $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement. Note: + this is just like $address_data. The value does not persist after the end + of the current ACL statement. If you want to preserve it, you can use one + of the ACL variables. + + 5. The redirect router has two new options: forbid_sieve_filter and + forbid_exim_filter. When filtering is enabled by allow_filter, these + options control which type(s) of filtering are permitted. By default, both + Exim and Sieve filters are allowed. + + 6. A new option for callouts makes it possible to set a different (usually + smaller) timeout for making the SMTP connection. The keyword is "connect". + For example: + + verify = sender/callout=5s,connect=1s + + If not specified, it defaults to the general timeout value. + + 7. The new variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure + contain information about exactly what failed. In an ACL, after one of + these failures, the relevant variable contains one of the following words: + + qualify the address was unqualified (no domain), and the message + was neither local nor came from an exempted host; + + route routing failed; + + mail routing succeeded, and a callout was attempted; rejection + occurred at or before the MAIL command (that is, on initial + connection, HELO, or MAIL); + + recipient the RCPT command in a callout was rejected; + + postmaster the postmaster check in a callout was rejected. + + The main use of these variables is expected to be to distinguish between + rejections of MAIL and rejections of RCPT. + + 8. The command line option -dd behaves exactly like -d except when used on a + command that starts a daemon process. In that case, debugging is turned off + for the subprocesses that the daemon creates.
