+Exim version 4.77
+-----------------
+
+PP/01 Solaris build fix for Oracle's LDAP libraries.
+ Bugzilla 1109, patch from Stephen Usher.
+
+TF/01 HP/UX build fix: avoid arithmetic on a void pointer.
+
+TK/01 DKIM Verification: Fix relaxed canon for empty headers w/o
+ whitespace trailer
+
+TF/02 Fix a couple more cases where we did not log the error message
+ when unlink() failed. See also change 4.74-TF/03.
+
+TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
+ lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
+ got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
+
+ The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
+ log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
+ purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
+ not safe for signals.
+
+ The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
+ log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
+ Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
+ Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
+ exiwhat.
+
+TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
+
+ The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
+ has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
+ are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
+ database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
+ means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
+
+ Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
+ makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
+ message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
+ per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
+ must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
+ /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
+
+ The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
+ backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
+ ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
+ /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
+
+ A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
+ of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
+ aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
+ to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
+
+ The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
+ (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
+ used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
+ measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
+ or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
+ /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
+ Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
+ one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
+ and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
+
+ The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
+ is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
+ after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
+ count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
+
+ The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
+ events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
+ recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
+ behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
+ duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
+ the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
+ is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
+ example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
+ with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
+ details in the main documentation.
+
+TF/05 Removed obsolete $Cambridge$ CVS revision strings.
+
+TF/06 Removed a few PCRE remnants.
+
+TF/07 Automatically extract Exim's version number from tags in the git
+ repository when doing development or release builds.
+
+PP/02 Raise smtp_cmd_buffer_size to 16kB. Patch from Paul Fisher.
+ Bugzilla 879.
+
+
+Exim version 4.76
+-----------------
+
+PP/01 The new ldap_require_cert option would segfault if used. Fixed.
+
+PP/02 Harmonised TLS library version reporting; only show if debugging.

+
+PP/04 New "dns_use_edns0" global option.

+
+PP/08 Condition negation of bool{}/bool_lax{} did not negate. Fixed.
+ Bugzilla 1104.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla 1106: CVE-2011-1764 - DKIM log line was subject to a
+ format-string attack -- SECURITY: remote arbitrary code execution.
+
+TK/03 SECURITY - DKIM signature header parsing was double-expanded, second
+ time unintentionally subject to list matching rules, letting the header
+ cause arbitrary Exim lookups (of items which can occur in lists, *not*
+ arbitrary string expansion). This allowed for information disclosure.
+
+PP/09 Fix another SIGFPE (x86) in ${eval:...} expansion, this time related to
+ INT_MIN/-1 -- value coerced to INT_MAX.
+

+ (Wolfgang Breyha)
+
+PP/06 Bugzilla 1071: fix delivery logging with untrusted macros.

+ assumption that peers always have certificates. Be a little more
+ paranoid. Problem reported by Martin Tscholak.
+
+PP/08 Bugzilla 926: switch ClamAV to use the new zINSTREAM API for content
+ filtering; old API available if built with WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM=yes

+DW/21 Added Valgrind hooks in store.c to help it capture out-of-bounds store
+ access.
+
+DW/22 Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - partial fix: restrict default behaviour
+ of CONFIGURE_OWNER and CONFIGURE_GROUP options to no longer allow a
+ configuration file which is writeable by the Exim user or group.
+
+DW/23 Bugzilla 1044: CVE-2010-4345 - part two: extend checks for writeability

+
+PP/27 Bugzilla 1047: change the default for system_filter_user to be the Exim
+ run-time user, instead of root.
+
+PP/28 Add WHITELIST_D_MACROS option to let some macros be overridden by the
+ Exim run-time user without dropping privileges.
+
+DW/29 Remove use of va_copy() which breaks pre-C99 systems. Duplicate the
+ result string, instead of calling string_vformat() twice with the same
+ arguments.
+
+DW/30 Allow TRUSTED_CONFIG_PREFIX_FILE only for Exim or CONFIGURE_OWNER, not
+ for other users. Others should always drop root privileges if they use
+ -C on the command line, even for a whitelisted configure file.

+
+Exim version 4.69
+-----------------
+
+TK/01 Add preliminary DKIM support. Currently requires a forked version of
+ ALT-N's libdkim that I have put here:
+ http://duncanthrax.net/exim-experimental/
+
+ Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
+ were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
+ keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
+ not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
+ build errors in sieve.c.
+
+NM/01 Bugzilla 592: --help option is handled incorrectly if exim is invoked
+ as mailq or other aliases. Changed the --help handling significantly
+ to do whats expected. exim_usage() emits usage/help information.
+
+SC/01 Added the -bylocaldomain option to eximstats.
+
+NM/02 Bugzilla 619: Defended against bad data coming back from gethostbyaddr.
+
+NM/03 Bugzilla 613: Documentation fix for acl_not_smtp.
+
+NM/04 Bugzilla 628: PCRE update to 7.4 (work done by John Hall).
+
+
+Exim version 4.68
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
+ in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
+ dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
+ contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
+ in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
+ (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
+ keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
+ for iplsearch lookups.
+
+ This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
+ colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
+ previously such lookups could never work.
+
+ The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
+ ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
+ incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
+
+TK/01 Change PRVS address formatting scheme to reflect latests BATV draft

+
+MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
+ conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
+ a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
+ right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
+ attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
+ exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla 502: Apply patch to make the SPF-Received: header use
+ $primary_hostname instead of what libspf2 thinks the hosts name is.
+
+MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
+ a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
+ symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
+ Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
+ symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
+ exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)
+
+PH/03 The body_linecount and body_zerocount variables are now exported in the
+ local_scan API.
+
+PH/04 Added the $dnslist_matched variable.
+
+PH/05 Unset $tls_cipher and $tls_peerdn before making a connection as a client.
+ This means they are set thereafter only if the connection becomes
+ encrypted.
+
+PH/06 Added the client_condition to authenticators so that some can be skipped
+ by clients under certain conditions.
+
+PH/07 The error message for a badly-placed control=no_multiline_responses left
+ "_responses" off the end of the name.
+
+PH/08 Added -Mvc to output a copy of a message in RFC 2822 format.
+
+PH/09 Tidied the code for creating ratelimiting keys, creating them explicitly
+ (without spaces) instead of just copying the configuration text.
+
+PH/10 Added the /noupdate option to the ratelimit ACL condition.
+
+PH/11 Added $max_received_linelength.
+
+PH/12 Added +ignore_defer and +include_defer to host lists.
+
+PH/13 Installed PCRE version 7.2. This needed some changes because of the new
+ way in which PCRE > 7.0 is built.
+
+PH/14 Implemented queue_only_load_latch.
+
+PH/15 Removed an incorrect (int) cast when reading the value of SIZE in a
+ MAIL command. The effect was to mangle the value on 64-bit systems.
+
+PH/16 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+PH/17 Added the NOTQUIT ACL, based on a patch from Ted Cooper.
+
+PH/18 If a system quota error occurred while trying to create the file for
+ a maildir delivery, the message "Mailbox is full" was not appended to the
+ bounce if the delivery eventually timed out. Change 4.67/27 below applied
+ only to a quota excession during the actual writing of the file.
+
+PH/19 It seems that peer DN values may contain newlines (and other non-printing
+ characters?) which causes problems in log lines. The DN values are now
+ passed through string_printing() before being added to log lines.
+
+PH/20 Added the "servers=" facility to MySQL and PostgreSQL lookups. (Oracle
+ and InterBase are left for another time.)
+
+PH/21 Added message_body_newlines option.
+
+PH/22 Guard against possible overflow in moan_check_errorcopy().
+
+PH/23 POSIX allows open() to be a macro; guard against that.
+
+PH/24 If the recipient of an error message contained an @ in the local part
+ (suitably quoted, of course), incorrect values were put in $domain and
+ $local_part during the evaluation of errors_copy.
+
+
+Exim version 4.67
+-----------------
+
+MH/01 Fix for bug #448, segfault in Dovecot authenticator when interface_address
+ is unset (happens when testing with -bh and -oMi isn't used). Thanks to
+ Jan Srzednicki.
+
+PH/01 Added a new log selector smtp_no_mail, to log SMTP sessions that do not
+ issue a MAIL command.
+
+PH/02 In an ACL statement such as
+
+ deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
+
+ if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
+ 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
+ the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
+ The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second
+ item. This has been fixed.
+
+PH/03 Added additional dnslists conditions == and =& which are different from
+ = and & when the dns lookup returns more than one IP address.
+
+PH/04 Added gnutls_require_{kx,mac,protocols} to give more control over the
+ cipher suites used by GnuTLS. These options are ignored by OpenSSL.
+
+PH/05 After discussion on the list, added a compile time option ENABLE_DISABLE_
+ FSYNC, which compiles an option called disable_fsync that allows for
+ bypassing fsync(). The documentation is heavily laced with warnings.
+
+SC/01 Updated eximstats to collate all SpamAssassin rejects into one bucket.
+
+PH/06 Some tidies to the infrastructure of the Test Suite that is concerned
+ with the auxiliary C programs that it uses: (1) Arrange for BIND_8_COMPAT
+ to be defined when compiling on OSX (Darwin); (2) Tidies to the Makefile,
+ including adding "make clean"; (3) Added -fPIC when compiling the test
+ dynamically loaded module, to get rid of a warning.
+
+MH/02 Fix for bug #451, causing paniclog entries to be written if a bounce
+ message fails, move_frozen_messages = true and ignore_bounce_errors_after
+ = 0s. The bug is otherwise harmless.
+
+PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of
+ $auth1 could be overwritten, and so not correctly preserved, after a
+ successful authentication. This usually meant that the value preserved by
+ the server_setid option was incorrect.
+
+PH/08 Added $smtp_count_at_connection_start, deliberately with a long name.
+
+PH/09 Installed PCRE release 7.0.
+
+PH/10 The acl_not_smtp_start ACL was, contrary to the documentation, not being
+ run for batched SMTP input. It is now run at the start of every message
+ in the batch. While fixing this I discovered that the process information
+ (output by running exiwhat) was not always getting set for -bs and -bS
+ input. This is fixed, and it now also says "batched" for BSMTP.
+
+PH/11 Added control=no_pipelining.
+
+PH/12 Added $sending_ip_address and $sending_port (mostly Magnus Holmgren's
+ patch, slightly modified), and move the expansion of helo_data till after
+ the connection is made in the smtp transport (so it can use these
+ values).
+
+PH/13 Added ${rfc2047d: to decoded RFC 2047 strings.
+
+PH/14 Added log_selector = +pid.
+
+PH/15 Flush SMTP output before delaying, unless control=no_delay_flush is set.
+
+PH/16 Add ${if forany and ${if forall.
+
+PH/17 Added dsn_from option to vary the From: line in DSNs.
+
+PH/18 Flush SMTP output before performing a callout, unless control =
+ no_callout_flush is set.
+
+PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when address_retry_include_sender
+ was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete the retry
+ item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is now
+ fixed.
+
+PH/20 Added hosts_avoid_pipelining to the smtp transport.
+
+PH/21 Long custom messages for fakedefer and fakereject are now split up
+ into multiline reponses in the same way that messages for "deny" and
+ other ACL rejections are.
+
+PH/22 Applied Jori Hamalainen's speed-up changes and typo fixes to exigrep,
+ with slight modification.
+
+PH/23 Applied sieve patches from the maintainer "tracking the latest notify
+ draft, changing the syntax and factoring some duplicate code".
+
+PH/24 When the log selector "outgoing_port" was set, the port was shown as -1
+ for deliveries of the second and subsequent messages over the same SMTP
+ connection.
+
+PH/25 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch for ${addresses, ${map, ${filter, and
+ ${reduce, with only minor "tidies".
+
+SC/02 Applied Daniel Tiefnig's patch to improve the '($parent) =' pattern match.
+
+PH/26 Added a "continue" ACL modifier that does nothing, for the benefit of its
+ expansion side effects.
+
+PH/27 When a message times out after an over-quota error from an Exim-imposed
+ quota, the bounce message says "mailbox is full". This message was not
+ being given when it was a system quota that was exceeded. It now should
+ be the same.
+
+MH/03 Made $recipients available in local_scan(). local_scan() already has
+ better access to the recipient list through recipients_list[], but
+ $recipients can be useful in postmaster-provided expansion strings.
+
+PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct
+ in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the
+ address, for example: MAIL FROM:<foo@bar> SIZE=1234. The option settings
+ were accidentally chopped off.
+
+PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
+ there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
+ any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
+ some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
+ arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
+ HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
+ pipelining has not been advertised.
+
+PH/30 MH's patch to allow iscntrl() characters to be list separators.
+
+PH/31 Unlike :fail:, a custom message specified with :defer: was not being
+ returned in the SMTP response when smtp_return_error_details was false.
+ This has been fixed.
+
+PH/32 Change the Dovecot authenticator to use read() and write() on the socket
+ instead of the C I/O that was originally supplied, because problems were
+ reported on Solaris.
+
+PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
+ Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
+ SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
+ no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
+ was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
+ changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
+ error. Exim's code has been fixed.
+
+PH/34 Change HDA_SIZE in oracle.c from 256 to 512. This is needed for 64-bit
+ cpus.
+
+PH/35 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which fixes a bug in "notify".
+
+PH/36 Applied John Jetmore's patch to add -v functionality to exigrep.
+
+PH/37 If a message is not accepted after it has had an id assigned (e.g.
+ because it turns out to be too big or there is a timeout) there is no
+ "Completed" line in the log. When some messages of this type were
+ selected by exigrep, they were listed as "not completed". Others were
+ picked up by some special patterns. I have improved the selection
+ criteria to be more general.
+
+PH/38 The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router can now be set
+ to "ignore", to completely ignore a host whose IP address cannot be
+ found. If all hosts are ignored, the behaviour is controlled by the new
+ host_all_ignored option.
+
+PH/39 In a list of hosts for manualroute, if one item (either because of multi-
+ homing or because of multiple MX records with /mx) generated more than
+ one IP address, and the following item turned out to be the local host,
+ all the secondary addresses of the first item were incorrectly removed
+ from the list, along with the local host and any following hosts (which
+ is what is supposed to happen).
+
+PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of
+ whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was
+ behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
+ started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
+ calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
+ uses the Exim user.
+
+PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a
+ message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad
+ sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
+ with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
+ RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
+ intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their
+ users.
+
+PH/42 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+SC/02 Eximstats - Differentiate between permanent and temporary rejects.
+ Eximstats - Fixed some broken HTML links and added missing column headers
+ (Jez Hancock).
+ Eximstats - Fixed Grand Total Summary Domains, Edomains, and Email
+ columns for Rejects, Temp Rejects, Ham, and Spam rows.
+
+SC/03 Eximstats - V1.58 Fix to get <> and blackhole to show in edomain tables.
+
+PH/43 Yet another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending
+ the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
+ case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
+ (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
+ any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
+ to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
+ either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
+ the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
+ would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.
+ This could lead to message repetition. This fix should cure that, at
+ least in a lot of common cases.
+
+PH/45 Do not advertise STARTTLS in response to HELP unless it would be
+ advertised in response to EHLO.
+
+
+Exim version 4.66
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
+ fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
+
+ (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
+ operators. This behaviour has been restored.
+
+ (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
+ their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
+ starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
+
+ While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
+ hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
+ and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
+ The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
+ decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.
+
+
+Exim version 4.65
+-----------------
+
+TK/01 Disable default definition of HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE. Clashes with
+ Linux large file support (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) on older glibc
+ versions. (#438)
+
+MH/01 Don't check that the operands of numeric comparison operators are
+ integers when their expansion is in "skipping" mode (fixes bug
+ introduced by 4.64-PH/07).
+
+PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
+ child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
+ is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
+ large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
+ (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
+ rather than extend the field.
+
+
+Exim version 4.64
+-----------------
+
+TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
+ leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
+ While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
+ filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
+ these files.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
+ processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
+ triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
+
+TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
+ in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
+ hence the _LINUX specificness.
+
+TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,
+ there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any
+ header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
+ in the field name.
+
+PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
+ callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
+ is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
+ verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
+ the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
+ case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
+ rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
+ address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
+ Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
+ left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
+ RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).
+
+PH/02 Tidied a number of unused variable and signed/unsigned warnings that
+ gcc 4.1.1 threw up.
+
+PH/03 On Solaris, an unexpectedly close socket (dropped connection) can
+ manifest itself as EPIPE rather than ECONNECT. When tidying away a
+ session, the daemon ignores ECONNECT errors and logs others; it now
+ ignores EPIPE as well.
+
+PH/04 Applied Nico Erfurth's refactoring patch to tidy up mime.c
+ (quoted-printable decoding).
+
+PH/05 Applied Nico Erfurth's refactoring patch to tidy up spool_mbox.c, and
+ later the small subsequent patch to fix an introduced bug.
+
+PH/06 Installed the latest Cygwin Makefile from the Cygwin maintainer.
+
+PH/07 There was no check for overflow in expansions such as ${if >{1}{4096M}}.
+
+PH/08 An error is now given if message_size_limit is specified negative.
+
+PH/09 Applied and tidied up Jakob Hirsch's patch for allowing ACL variables
+ to be given (somewhat) arbitrary names.
+
+JJ/01 exipick 20060919.0, allow for arbitrary acl_ variables introduced
+ in 4.64-PH/09.
+
+JJ/02 exipick 20060919.0, --show-vars args can now be regular expressions,
+ miscellaneous code fixes
+
+PH/10 Added the log_reject_target ACL modifier to specify where to log
+ rejections.
+
+PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
+ hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
+ probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
+ callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
+ changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
+ instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
+ there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
+ addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.
+
+PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
+ tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
+ (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
+ overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
+ function.
+ (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
+ hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
+ (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
+ Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
+ (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
+ (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
+ service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
+ interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
+ changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.
+
+PH/13 Added $message_headers_raw to provide the headers without RFC 2047
+ decoding.
+
+PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
+ address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
+ -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
+ successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
+ with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
+ failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
+ with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
+ parentage before showing the successful verification of C.
+
+PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to
+ look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
+ list.
+
+PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
+ RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
+ they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
+ wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
+ cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
+ To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
+ host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
+ containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
+ sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
+ transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
+ host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
+ of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
+ (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).
+
+PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
+ spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
+ switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
+ overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
+ Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
+ str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
+ character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.
+
+PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
+ flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
+ turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
+ set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
+ be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
+ verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
+ came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
+ while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
+ the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
+ trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.
+
+PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
+ with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
+ came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
+ but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
+ code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.
+
+PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
+ feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
+ embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
+ only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
+ always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
+ effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
+ RSA_EXPORT functionality.
+
+PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
+ authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
+ (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
+ to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
+ if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
+ local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
+ been verified.
+
+PH/22 As suggested by Dennis Davis, added a server_condition option to *all*
+ authenticators. This can be used for authorization after authentication
+ succeeds. (In the case of plaintext, it servers for both authentication
+ and authorization.)
+
+PH/23 Testing for tls_required and lost_connection in a retry rule didn't work
+ if any retry times were supplied.
+
+PH/24 Exim crashed if verify=helo was activated during an incoming -bs
+ connection, where there is no client IP address to check. In this
+ situation, the verify now always succeeds.
+
+PH/25 Applied John Jetmore's -Mset patch.
+
+PH/26 Added -bem to be like -Mset, but loading a message from a file.
+
+PH/27 In a string expansion for a processed (not raw) header when multiple
+ headers of the same name were present, leading whitespace was being
+ removed from all of them, but trailing whitespace was being removed only
+ from the last one. Now trailing whitespace is removed from each header
+ before concatenation. Completely empty headers in a concatenation (as
+ before) are ignored.
+
+PH/28 Fixed bug in backwards-compatibility feature of PH/09 (thanks to John
+ Jetmore). It would have mis-read ACL variables from pre-4.61 spool files.
+
+PH/29 [Removed. This was a change that I later backed out, and forgot to
+ correct the ChangeLog entry (that I had efficiently created) before
+ committing the later change.]
+
+PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
+ address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
+ messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
+ so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
+ for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
+ hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
+ the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
+ of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
+ was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
+
+ (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
+ of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
+ for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
+ candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
+ successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
+ reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
+ This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
+ previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
+ harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
+
+ (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
+ routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
+ hammering the server.
+
+PH/31 Installed Andrew Findlay's patch to close the writing end of the socket
+ in ${readsocket because some servers need this prod.
+
+PH/32 Added some extra debug output when updating a wait-xxx database.
+
+PH/33 The hint "could be header name not terminated by colon", which has been
+ given for certain expansion errors for a long time, was not being given
+ for the ${if def:h_colon_omitted{... case.
+
+PH/34 The spec says: "With one important exception, whenever a domain list is
+ being scanned, $domain contains the subject domain." There was at least
+ one case where this was not true.
+
+PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
+ written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
+ panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
+ removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
+ fails.
+
+PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
+ runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
+ that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
+ message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
+ things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
+ server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
+ I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
+ based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
+ can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
+ smtp transport.
+
+PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the
+ remote server are returned as part of bounce messages. This was not
+ happening for LMTP over a pipe (the lmtp transport), but now it is the
+ same for both kinds of LMTP.
+
+PH/38 Despite being documented as not happening, Exim was rewriting addresses
+ in header lines that were in fact CNAMEs. This is no longer the case.
+
+PH/39 If -R or -S was given with -q<time>, the effect of -R or -S was ignored,
+ and queue runs started by the daemon processed all messages. This has
+ been fixed so that -R and -S can now usefully be given with -q<time>.
+
+PH/40 Import PCRE release 6.7 (fixes some bugs).
+
+PH/41 Add bitwise logical operations to eval (courtesy Brad Jorsch).
+
+PH/42 Give an error if -q is specified more than once.
+
+PH/43 Renamed the variables $interface_address and $interface_port as
+ $received_ip_address and $received_port, to make it clear that these
+ values apply to message reception, and not to the outgoing interface when
+ a message is delivered. (The old names remain recognized, of course.)
+
+PH/44 There was no timeout on the connect() call when using a Unix domain
+ socket in the ${readsocket expansion. There now is.
+
+PH/45 Applied a modified version of Brad Jorsch's patch to allow "message" to
+ be meaningful with "accept".
+
+SC/01 Eximstats V1.43
+ Bug fix for V1.42 with -h0 specified. Spotted by Chris Lear.
+
+SC/02 Eximstats V1.44
+ Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in the generated

+SC/03 Eximstats V1.45 (Marco Gaiarin / Steve Campbell)
+ Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics.
+ Don't display local sender or destination tables unless

+
+SC/04 Eximstats V1.46
+ Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients)

+
+SC/05 Eximstats V1.47

+SC/08 Eximstats V1.50
+ Fixes for obtaining the IP address from reject messages.
+
+JJ/03 exipick.20061117.2, made header handling as similar to exim as possible

+
+JJ/07 exipick.20061117.2, added $received_ip_address and $received_port

+
+PH/46 Applied Jori Hamalainen's patch to add features to exiqsumm.
+
+PH/47 Put in an explicit test for a DNS lookup of an address record where the
+ "domain" is actually an IP address, and force a failure. This locks out
+ those revolvers/nameservers that support "A-for-A" lookups, in
+ contravention of the specifications.
+
+PH/48 When a host name was looked up from an IP address, and the subsequent
+ forward lookup of the name timed out, the host name was left in
+ $sender_host_name, contrary to the specification.
+
+PH/49 Although default lookup types such as lsearch* or cdb*@ have always been
+ restricted to single-key lookups, Exim was not diagnosing an error if
+ * or *@ was used with a query-style lookup.
+
+PH/50 Increased the value of DH_BITS in tls-gnu.c from 768 to 1024.
+
+MH/01 local_scan ABI version incremented to 1.1. It should have been updated
+ long ago, but noone interested enough thought of it. Let's just say that
+ the "1.1" means that there are some new functions that weren't there at
+ some point in the past.
+
+PH/51 Error processing for expansion failure of helo_data from an smtp

+
+PH/52 Applied John Jetmore's patch to allow tls-on-connect and STARTTLS to be

+
+PH/54 Applied Robert Bannocks' patch to avoid a problem with references that
+ arises when using the Solaris LDAP libraries (but not with OpenLDAP).
+
+PH/55 Check for a ridiculously long file name in exim_dbmbuild.
+
+
+Exim version 4.63
+-----------------
+
+SC/01 Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in eximstats generated
+ parser. This improves both readability and performance.
+
+SC/02 Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics in eximstats.
+ Don't display local sender or destination tables in eximstats unless
+ there is data to show.
+ Added average volumes into the eximstats top table text output.
+
+SC/03 Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients) as well
+ as the number of messages in eximstats.
+
+TF/01 Correct an error in the documentation for the redirect router. Exim
+ does (usually) call initgroups() when daemonizing.
+
+TF/02 Call initgroups() when dropping privilege in exim.c, so that Exim runs
+ with consistent privilege compared to when running as a daemon.
+
+TF/03 Note in the spec that $authenticated_id is not set for local
+ submissions from trusted users.
+
+TF/04 The ratelimit per_rcpt option now works correctly in acl_not_smtp.
+ Thanks to Dean Brooks <dean@iglou.com> for the patch.
+
+TF/05 Make it easier to get SMTP authentication and TLS/SSL support working
+ by adding some example configuration directives to the default
+ configuration file. A little bit of work is required to uncomment the
+ directives and define how usernames and passwords are checked, but
+ there is now a framework to start from.
+
+PH/01 Added #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 to ldap.c because some of the "old"
+ functions that Exim currently uses aren't defined in ldap.h for OpenLDAP
+ without this. I don't know how relevant this is to other LDAP libraries.
+
+PH/02 Add the verb name to the "unknown ACL verb" error.
+
+PH/03 Magnus Holmgren's patch for filter_prepend_home.
+
+PH/03 Fixed Bugzilla #101: macro definition between ACLs doesn't work.
+
+PH/04 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch to fix Bugzilla #98: transport's home
+ directory not expanded when it should be if an expanded home directory
+ was set for the address (which is overridden by the transport).
+
+PH/05 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch to fix Bugzilla #99: a problem with
+ libradius.
+
+PH/06 Added acl_not_smtp_start, based on Johannes Berg's patch, and set the
+ bit to forbid control=suppress_local_fixups in the acl_not_smtp ACL,
+ because it is too late at that time, and has no effect.
+
+PH/07 Changed ${quote_pgsql to quote ' as '' instead of \' because of a
+ security issue with \' (bugzilla #107). I could not use the
+ PQescapeStringConn() function, because it needs a PGconn value as one of
+ its arguments.
+
+PH/08 When testing addresses using -bt, indicate those final addresses that
+ are duplicates that would not cause an additional delivery. At least one
+ person was confused, thinking that -bt output corresponded to deliveries.
+ (Suppressing duplicates isn't a good idea as you lose the information
+ about possibly different redirections that led to the duplicates.)
+
+PH/09 Applied patch from Erik to use select() instead of poll() in spam.c on
+ systems where poll() doesn't work, in particular OS X.
+
+PH/10 Added more information to debugging output for retry time not reached.
+
+PH/11 Applied patch from Arkadiusz Miskiewicz to apply a timeout to read
+ operations in malware.c.
+
+PH/12 Applied patch from Magnus Holmgren to include the "h" tag in Domain Keys
+ signatures.
+
+PH/13 If write_rejectlog was set false when logging was sent to syslog with
+ syslog_duplication set false, log lines that would normally be written
+ both the the main log and to the reject log were not written to syslog at
+ all.
+
+PH/14 In the default configuration, change the use of "message" in ACL warn
+ statements to "add_header".
+
+PH/15 Diagnose a filter syntax error for "seen", "unseen", or "noerror" if not
+ not followed by a command (e.g. "seen endif").
+
+PH/16 Recognize SMTP codes at the start of "message" in ACLs and after :fail:
+ and :defer: in a redirect router. Add forbid_smtp_code to suppress the
+ latter.
+
+PH/17 Added extra conditions to the default value of delay_warning_condition
+ so that it is now:
+
+ ${if or { \
+ { !eq{$h_list-id:$h_list-post:$h_list-subscribe:}{} } \
+ { match{$h_precedence:}{(?i)bulk|list|junk} } \
+ { match{$h_auto-submitted:}{(?i)auto-generated|auto-replied} } \
+ }{no}{yes}}
+
+ The Auto-Submitted: and various List- headers are standardised, whereas I
+ don't think Precedence: ever was.
+
+PH/18 Refactored debugging code in route_finduser() to show more information,
+ in particular, the error code if getpwnam() issues one.
+
+PH/19 Added PQsetClientEncoding(conn, "SQL_ASCII") to the pgsql code module.
+ This is apparently needed in addition to the PH/07 change above to avoid
+ any possible encoding problems.
+
+PH/20 Perl can change the locale. Exim was resetting it after a ${perl call,
+ but not after initializing Perl.
+
+PH/21 Added a call to PQsetNoticeProcessor() to catch pgsql "notices" and
+ output them only if debugging. By default they are written stderr,
+ apparently, which is not desirable.
+
+PH/22 Added Alain Williams' LDAP patch to support setting REFERRALS=off on
+ queries.
+
+JJ/01 exipick: added --reverse (and -R synonym), --random, --size, --sort and
+ --not options
+
+JJ/02 exipick: rewrote --help documentation to hopefully make more clear.
+
+PH/23 Made -oMaa and -oMt work with -bh and -bs to pretend the connection is
+ authenticated or an ident call has been made. Suppress the default
+ values for $authenticated_id and $authenticated_sender (but permit -oMai
+ and -oMas) when testing with -bh.
+
+PH/24 Re-jigged the order of the tests in the default configuration so that the
+ tests for valid domains and recipients precede the DNS black list and CSA
+ tests, on the grounds that those ones are more expensive.
+
+PH/25 Exim was not testing for a space following SMTP commands such as EHLO
+ that require one. Thus, EHLORHUBARB was interpreted as a valid command.
+ This bug exists in every version of Exim that I still have, right back to
+ 0.12.
+
+PH/26 (n)wildlsearch lookups are documented as being done case-insensitively.
+ However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by
+ including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already
+ lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a
+ one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected.
+
+
+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/10 Added the maildirfolder_create_regex option to appendfile.
+
+
+Exim version 4.61
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
+ system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
+ systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
+ code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
+ IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
+ that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
+ addresses as local.
+
+PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@
+ [ipv6:....] because it didn't know about the "ipv6:" prefix.
+
+PH/03 Added disable_ipv6.
+
+PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the
+ decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers
+ lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
+ invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
+ newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
+ grumble.
+
+PH/05 If group was specified without a user on a router, and no group or user
+ was specified on a transport, the group from the router was ignored.
+
+PH/06 Increased the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type, and arranged
+ for visible compile-time settings that can be used to change these
+ numbers, for those that want even more. Backwards compatibility with old
+ spool files has been maintained. However, going back to a previous Exim
+ release will lost any variables that are in spool files.
+
+PH/07 Two small changes when running in the test harness: increase delay when
+ passing a TCP/IP connection to a new process, in case the original
+ process has to generate a bounce, and remove special handling of
+ 127.0.0.2 (sic), which is no longer necessary.
+
+PH/08 Changed debug output of dbfn_open() flags from numbers to names, so as to
+ be the same on different OS.
+
+PH/09 Moved a debug statement in filter processing to avoid a race problem when
+ testing.
+
+JJ/01 exipick: fixed bug where -b (brief) output option showed "Vars:"
+ whether --show-vars was specified or not
+
+JJ/02 exipick: Added support for new ACL variable spool format introduced
+ in 4.61-PH/06
+
+PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
+ syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
+ generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
+ autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
+ name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
+ it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
+ bounce message.
+
+PH/11 The exinext utility has a -C option for testing purposes, but although
+ the given file was scanned by exinext itself; it wasn't being passed on
+ when Exim was called.
+
+PH/12 In the smtp transport, treat an explicit ECONNRESET error the same as
+ an end-of-file indication when reading a command response.
+
+PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was
+ compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always
+ recognized, so I have changed this. It also means that IPv4 domain
+ literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.
+
+PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
+ used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
+ ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
+ non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
+ changes:
+
+ (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
+ in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
+ suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
+
+ (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,
+ outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs
+ the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.
+
+PH/15 Minor change to Makefile for building test_host (undocumented testing
+ feature).
+
+PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
+ additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
+ Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
+ major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
+ type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
+ fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
+ address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
+ values from the SRV records were lost.
+
+PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not
+ using the correct key (the original address) when searching the retry
+ rules in order to find which one to use for generating the retry hint.
+
+PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from
+ adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the
+ errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
+
+PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
+ failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
+ it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
+ message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
+ behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
+ "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
+ when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
+ "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
+ delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.
+ [Note: This change was subsequently modified - see PH/04 for 4.62.]
+
+PH/20 Added $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 to contain authentication data (as well as
+ $1, $2, $3) because the numerical variables can be reset during some
+ expansion items (e.g. "match"), thereby losing the authentication data.
+
+PH/21 Make -bV show the size of off_t variables so that the test suite can
+ decide whether to run tests for quotas > 2G.
+
+PH/22 Test the values given for quota, quota_filecount, quota_warn_threshold,
+ mailbox_size, and mailbox_filecount in the appendfile transport. If a
+ filecount value is greater than 2G or if a quota value is greater than 2G
+ on a system where the size of off_t is not greater than 4, a panic error
+ is given.
+
+PH/23 When a malformed item such as 1.2.3/24 appears in a host list, it can
+ never match. The debug and -bh output now contains an explicit error
+ message indicating a malformed IPv4 address or mask.
+
+PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address
+ 1.2.3.4 without a mask. Now it is not recognized as an IP address, and
+ PH/23 above applies.
+
+PH/25 Do not write to syslog when running in the test harness. The only
+ occasion when this arises is a failure to open the main or panic logs
+ (for which there is an explicit test).
+
+PH/26 Added the /no_tell option to "control=freeze".
+
+PH/27 If a host name lookup failed very early in a connection, for example, if
+ the IP address matched host_lookup and the reverse lookup yielded a name
+ that did not have a forward lookup, an error message of the form "no IP
+ address found for host xxx.xxx.xxx (during SMTP connection from NULL)"
+ could be logged. Now it outputs the IP address instead of "NULL".
+
+PH/28 An enabling patch from MH: add new function child_open_exim2() which
+ allows the sender and the authenticated sender to be set when
+ submitting a message from within Exim. Since child_open_exim() is
+ documented for local_scan(), the new function should be too.
+
+PH/29 In GnuTLS, a forced expansion failure for tls_privatekey was not being
+ ignored. In both GnuTLS and OpenSSL, an expansion of tls_privatekey that
+ results in an empty string is now treated as unset.
+
+PH/30 Fix eximon buffer overflow bug (Bugzilla #73).
+
+PH/31 Added sender_verify_fail logging option.
+
+PH/32 In November 2003, the code in Exim that added an empty Bcc: header when
+ needed by RFC 822 but not by RFC 2822 was commented out. I have now
+ tidied the source and removed it altogether.
+
+PH/33 When a queue run was abandoned because the load average was too high, a
+ log line was always written; now it is written only if the queue_run log
+ selector is set. In addition, the log line for abandonment now contains
+ information about the queue run such as the pid. This is always present
+ in "start" and "stop" lines but was omitted from the "abandon" line.
+
+PH/34 Omit spaces between a header name and the colon in the error message that
+ is given when verify = headers_syntax fails (if there are lots of them,
+ the message gets confusing).
+
+PH/35 Change the default for dns_check_names_pattern to allow slashes within
+ names, as there are now some PTR records that contain slashes. This check
+ is only to protect against broken name servers that fall over on strange
+ characters, so the fact that it applies to all lookups doesn't matter.
+
+PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the
+ special code in Exim that was needed for the old test suite. For example,
+ sorting DNS records because real resolvers return them in an arbitrary
+ order. The new test suite's fake resolver always returns records in the
+ same order.
+
+PH/37 When running in the test harness, use -odi for submitted messages (e.g.
+ bounces) except when queue_only is set, to avoid logging races between
+ the different processes.
+
+PH/38 Panic-die if .include specifies a non-absolute path.
+
+PH/39 A tweak to the "H" retry rule from its user.
+
+JJ/03 exipick: Removed parentheses from 'next' and 'last' calls that specified
+ a label. They prevented compilation on older perls.
+
+JJ/04 exipick: Refactored code to prevent implicit split to @_ which caused
+ a warning to be raised on newish perls.
+
+JJ/05 exipick: Fixed bug where -bpc always showed a count of all messages
+ on queue. Changes to match documented behaviour of showing count of
+ messages matching specified criteria.
+
+PH/40 Changed the default ident timeout from 30s to 5s.
+
+PH/41 Added support for the use of login_cap features, on those BSD systems
+ that have them, for controlling the resources used by pipe deliveries.
+
+PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
+ message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
+ the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
+ files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
+ files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
+ being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
+ created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
+ argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
+ mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
+ content scanning code have been changed to use this function.
+
+PH/43 If retry_interval_max is set greater than 24 hours, it is quietly reset
+ to 24 hours. This avoids potential overflow problems when processing G
+ and H retry rules. I suspect nobody ever tinkers with this value.
+
+PH/44 Added STRIP_COMMAND=/usr/bin/strip to the FreeBSD Makefile.
+
+PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
+ challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
+ default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
+ received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
+ The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
+ they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
+ challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
+ the variable.
+
+PH/46 Messages that are created by the autoreply transport now contains a
+ References: header, in accordance with RFCs 2822 and 3834.
+
+PH/47 Added authenticated_sender_force to the smtp transport.
+
+PH/48 The ${prvs expansion was broken on systems where time_t was long long.
+
+PH/49 Installed latest patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+PH/50 When an Exim quota was set without a file count quota, and mailbox_size
+ was also set, the appendfile transport was unnecessarily scanning a
+ directory of message files (e.g. for maildir delivery) to find the count
+ of files (along with the size), even though it did not need this
+ information. It now does the scan only if it needs to find either the
+ size of the count of files.
+
+PH/51 Added ${time_eval: to convert Exim time strings into seconds.
+
+PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
+ used in LMTP mode:
+
+ (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
+ for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
+ was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
+ frequently, and not timed out correctly.
+
+ (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
+ for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
+ recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
+
+PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
+ when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
+ sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
+ "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
+ well as "retry timeout exceeded".
+
+PH/54 Added control=allow_auth_unadvertised, as it seems there are clients that
+ do this, and (what is worse) MTAs that accept it.
+
+PH/55 Added the add_header modified to ACLs. The use of "message" with "warn"
+ will now be deprecated.
+
+PH/56 New os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer.
+
+JJ/06 exipick: added --unsorted option to allow unsorted output in all output
+ formats (previously only available in exim formats via -bpr, -bpru,
+ and -bpra. Now also available in native and exiqgrep formats)
+
+JJ/07 exipick: added --freeze and --thaw options to allow faster interaction
+ with very large, slow to parse queues
+
+JJ/08 exipick: added ! as generic prefix to negate any criteria format
+
+JJ/09 exipick: miscellaneous performance enhancements (~24% improvements)
+
+PH/57 Tidies in SMTP dialogue display in debug output: (i) It was not showing
+ responses to authentication challenges, though it was showing the
+ challenges; (ii) I've removed the CR characters from the debug output for
+ SMTP output lines.
+
+PH/58 Allow for the insertion of a newline as well as a space when a string
+ is turned into more than one encoded-word during RFC 2047 encoding. The
+ Sieve code now uses this.
+
+PH/59 Added the following errors that can be detected in retry rules: mail_4xx,
+ data_4xx, lost_connection, tls_required.
+
+PH/60 When a VRFY deferred or FAILED, the log message rather than the user
+ message was being sent as an SMTP response.
+
+PH/61 Add -l and -k options to exicyclog.
+
+PH/62 When verifying, if an address was redirected to one new address, so that
+ verification continued, and the new address failed or deferred after
+ having set something in $address_data, the value of $address_data was not
+ passed back to the ACL. This was different to the case when no
+ redirection occurred. The value is now passed back in both cases.
+
+PH/63 Changed the macro HAVE_LOGIN_CAP (see PH/41 for this release above) to
+ HAVE_SETCLASSRESOURCES because there are different APIs in use that all
+ use login_cap.h, so on its own it isn't the distinguishing feature. The
+ new name refers directly to the setclassresources() function.
+
+PH/65 Added configuration files for NetBSD3.
+
+PH/66 Updated OS/Makefile-HP-UX for gcc 4.1.0 with HP-UX 11.
+
+PH/67 Fixed minor infelicity in the sorting of addresses to ensure that IPv6
+ is preferred over IPv4.
+
+PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being
+ honoured for bounces generated during the reception of non-SMTP messages.
+ In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
+ been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
+ body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
+ include only those that have been read before the error was detected.
+ (In the case of an ACL rejection, they have all been read.)
+
+PH/69 The HTML version of the specification is now built in a directory called
+ spec_html instead of spec.html, because the latter looks like a path with
+ a MIME-type, and this confuses some software.
+
+PH/70 Catch two compiler warnings in sieve.c.
+
+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.
+
+
+Exim version 4.60
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 Two changes to the default runtime configuration:
+
+ (1) Move the checks for relay_from_hosts and authenticated clients from
+ after to before the (commented out) DNS black list checks.
+
+ (2) Add control=submission to the relay_from_hosts and authenticated
+ clients checks, on the grounds that messages accepted by these
+ statements are most likely to be submissions.
+
+PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck:
+
+ (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is
+ not a single digit.
+
+ (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
+ string.
+
+ (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
+ ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
+ because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
+ silly things.
+
+ (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
+ one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
+
+ (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result
+ inside the third argument.
+
+PH/03 For some reason, the default setting of PATH when running a command from
+ a pipe transport was just "/usr/bin". I have changed it to
+ "/bin:/usr/bin".
+
+PH/04 SUPPORT_TRANSLATE_IP_ADDRESS and MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES did not cause
+ anything to be listed in the output from -bV.
+
+PH/05 When a filter generated an autoreply, the entire To: header line was
+ quoted in the delivery log line, like this:
+
+ => >A.N.Other <ano@some.domain> <original@ddress> ...
+
+ This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There
+ may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like
+ this:
+
+ => >ano@some.domain,ona@other.domain <original@ddress> ...
+
+PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
+ command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
+ not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
+ IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
+ identical. For example:
+
+ Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
+
+ However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
+ if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
+ doesn't show the same IP address twice.
+
+PH/07 When both +timestamp and +memory debugging was on, the value given by
+ $tod_xxx expansions could be wrong, because the tod_stamp() function was
+ called by the debug printing, thereby overwriting the timestamp buffer.
+ Debugging no longer uses the tod_stamp() function when +timestamp is set.
+
+PH/08 When the original message was included in an autoreply transport, it
+ always said "this is a copy of the message, including all the headers",
+ even if body_only or headers_only was set. It now gives an appropriate
+ message.
+
+PH/09 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which:
+
+ o fixes some comments
+ o adds the (disabled) notify extension core
+ o adds some debug output for the result of if/elsif tests
+ o points to the current vacation draft in the documentation
+ and documents the missing references header update
+
+ and most important:
+
+ o fixes a bug in processing the envelope test (when testing
+ multiple envelope elements, the last element determinted the
+ result)
+
+PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to
+ Electronic Mail") by including:
+
+ Auto-submitted: auto-generated
+
+ in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
+ warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
+ also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
+ hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
+ to another message, thes have all been changed to:
+
+ Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
+
+ in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
+
+ The auto-replied keyword:
+
+ - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
+ message by an automatic process,
+
+ - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
+
+ - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
+ Disposition Notifications (MDNs),
+
+ - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic
+ processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to
+ other messages.
+
+PH/11 Added "${if def:sender_address {(envelope-from <$sender_address>)\n\t}}"
+ to the default Received: header definition.
+
+PH/12 Added log selector acl_warn_skipped (default on).
+
+PH/13 After a successful wildlsearch lookup, discard the values of numeric
+ variables because (a) they are in the wrong storage pool and (b) even if
+ they were copied, it wouldn't work properly because of the caching.
+
+PH/14 Add check_rfc2047_length to disable enforcement of RFC 2047 length
+ checking when decoding. Apparently there are clients that generate
+ overlong encoded strings. Why am I not surprised?
+
+PH/15 If the first argument of "${if match_address" was not empty, but did not
+ contain an "@" character, Exim crashed. Now it writes a panic log message
+ and treats the condition as false.
+
+PH/16 In autoreply, treat an empty string for "once" the same as unset.
+
+PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve
+ extension "envelope-auth". The code is finished and in agreement with
+ other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact,
+ nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
+ not changing the active code.
+
+ Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This
+ helps a great deal to understand what a filter does.
+
+ Document more things not specified clearly in RFC3028. I had all this
+ sorted out, when out of a sudden new issues came to my mind. Oops."
+
+PH/18 Exim was not recognizing the "net-" search type prefix in match_ip lists
+ (Bugzilla #53).
+
+PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
+ canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
+ the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
+ addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
+ have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
+ addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
+ fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
+ by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
+ the text comparison.
+
+PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
+ given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
+ form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
+ The same fix has been applied.
+
+
+Exim version 4.54
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was
+ set to 36 (for Darwin and Cygwin), but the ${base62d: operator did not.
+ It now does.
+
+PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on
+ the CVS lines, and there was a missing #if HAVE_IPV6 in host.c.
+
+PH/03 Typo: missing ".o" in src/pcre/Makefile.
+
+PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-"
+ header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929.
+ Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as
+ non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated
+ anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.)
+
+TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax
+ errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option
+ now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters
+ but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain
+ or /domain=).
+
+PH/05 Some modifications to the interface to the fake nameserver for the new
+ testing suite.
