Otherwise not only does the password appear in the log, it may + also be put in a bounce message. + +PH/11 Installed exipick version 20050225.0 from John Jetmore. + +PH/12 If the last host in a fallback_hosts list was multihomed, only the first + of its addresses was ever tried. (Bugzilla bug #2.) + +PH/13 If "headers_add" in a transport didn't end in a newline, Exim printed + the result incorrectly in the debug output. (It correctly added a newline + to what was transported.) + +TF/01 Added $received_time. + +PH/14 Modified the default configuration to add an acl_smtp_data ACL, with + commented out examples of how to interface to a virus scanner and to + SpamAssassin. Also added commented examples of av_scanner and + spamd_address settings. + +PH/15 Further to TK/02 and TK/03 above, tidied up the tables of what conditions + and controls are allowed in which ACLs. There were a couple of minor + errors. Some of the entries in the conditions table (which is a table of + where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a + negation of where the condition IS allowed. + +PH/16 Installed updated OS/os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer. + +PH/17 The API for radiusclient changed at release 0.4.0. Unfortunately, the + header file does not have a version number, so I've had to invent a new + value for RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, namely "RADIUSCLIENTNEW" to request the new + API. The code is untested by me (my Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of + radiusclient), but it was contributed by a Radius user. + +PH/18 Installed Lars Mainka's patch for the support of CRL collections in + files or directories, for OpenSSL. + +PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log + file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the + ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see + the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this + fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited + for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources + run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check + for failure. + +PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing + the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return + from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time, + the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty + string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1 + (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed. + There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after + "input=".
