 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
 -------------------------------------------
 

+Exim version 4.62
+-----------------
+
+TF/01 Fix the add_header change below (4.61 PH/55) which had a bug that (amongst
+      other effects) broke the use of negated acl sub-conditions.
+
+PH/01 ${readsocket now supports Internet domain sockets (modified John Jetmore
+      patch).
+
+PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
+      "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
+      Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
+      tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
+      kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
+      Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
+      554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
+      if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
+      451 error is used.
+
+PH/03 Add -lutil to the default FreeBSD LIBS setting.
+
+PH/04 Change PH/19 for 4.61 was too wide. It should not be applied to host
+      errors. Otherwise a message that provokes a temporary error (when other
+      messages do not) can cause a whole host to time out.
+
+PH/05 Batch deliveries by appendfile and pipe transports did not work when the
+      addresses were routed directly to files or pipes from a redirect router.
+      File deliveries just didn't batch; pipe deliveries might have suffered
+      odd errors.
+
+PH/06 A failure to get a lock for a hints database would erroneously always say
+      "Failed to get write lock", even when it was really a read lock.
+
+PH/07 The appendfile transport was creating MBX lock files with a fixed mode
+      of 0600. This has been changed to use the value of the lockfile_mode
+      option (which defaults to 0600).
+
+PH/08 Applied small patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
+      folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
+      up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
+      used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
+      was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
+      excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
+      processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

+PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
+      function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
+      if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
+      socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
+      between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
+      the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
+      descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
+      not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
+      the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
+      this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
+      uses, but I've fixed it anyway.
+
+PH/72 Make dns_again_means_nonexist apply to lookups using gethostbyname() as
+      well as to direct DNS lookups. Otherwise the handling of names in host
+      lists is inconsistent and therefore confusing.
