Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
PH/10 Added a nasty fudge to try to recognize and flatten LDAP passwords in
an address' error message when a string expansion fails (syntax or
- whatever). Otherwise not only does the password appear in the log, it may
- also be put in a bounce message.
+ whatever). Otherwise the password may appear in the log. Following change
+ PH/42 below, there is no longer a chance of it appearing in a bounce
+ message.
PH/11 Installed exipick version 20050225.0 from John Jetmore.
lines in the message. Compare $body_linecount, which is the count for the
body only.
+PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
+ bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
+ are as follows:
+
+ (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
+ (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
+ (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
+ (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
+ (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
+
+ In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
+ warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
+ as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.
+
+PH/43 $value is now also set for the "else" part of a ${run expansion.
+
+PH/44 Applied patch from the Sieve maintainer: "The vacation draft is still
+ being worked on, but at least Exim now implements the latest version to
+ play with."
+
+PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
+ process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
+ writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
+ successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
+ consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
+ treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
+ there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
+ timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
+ both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
+ the log output.
+
+PH/46 The "scripts/Configure-config.h" script calls "make" at one point. On
+ systems where "make" and "gmake" are different, calling "gmake" at top
+ level broke things. I've arranged for the value of $(MAKE) to be passed
+ from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of
+ "make".
