 New Features in Exim

    plaintext. This can serve as a means of adding authorization to an
    authenticator.
 
+7. There is a new command-line option called -Mset. It is useful only in
+   conjunction with -be (that is, when testing string expansions). It must be
+   followed by a message id; Exim loads the given message from its spool before
+   doing the expansions, thus setting message-specific variables such as
+   $message_size and the header variables. The $recipients variable is
+   available. This feature is provided to make it easier to test expansions
+   that make use of these variables. However, Exim must be called by an admin
+   user when -Mset is used.
+
+8. Another similar new command-line option is called -bem. It operates like -be
+   except that it must be followed by the name of a file. For example:
+
+     exim -bem /tmp/testmessage
+
+   The file is read as a message (as if receiving a locally-submitted non-SMTP
+   message) before any of the test expansions are done. Thus, message-specific
+   variables such as $message_size and $h_from: are available. However, no
+   Received: header is added to the message. If the -t option is set,
+   recipients are read from the headers in the normal way, and are shown in the
+   $recipients variable. Note that recipients cannot be given on the command
+   line, because further arguments are taken as strings to expand (just like
+   -be).
+
+9. When an address is delayed because of a 4xx response to a RCPT command, it
+   is now the combination of sender and recipient that is delayed in subsequent
+   queue runs until its retry time is reached. You can revert to the previous
+   behavious, that is, delay the recipient independent of the sender, by
+   setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the smtp transport. However,
+   this can lead to problems with servers that regularly issue 4xx responses to
+   RCPT commands.
