+ 7. There are two new variables called $sending_ip_address and $sending_port.
+ These are set whenever an SMTP connection to another host has been set up,
+ and they contain the IP address and port of the local interface that is
+ being used. They are of interest only on hosts that have more than on IP
+ address that want to take on different personalities depending on which one
+ is being used.
+
+ 8. The expansion of the helo_data option in the smtp transport now happens
+ after the connection to the server has been made. This means that it can
+ use the value of $sending_ip_address (see 7 above) to vary the text of the
+ message. For example, if you want the string that is used for helo_data to
+ be obtained by a DNS lookup of the interface address, you could use this:
+
+ helo_data = ${lookup dnsdb{ptr=$sending_ip_address}{$value}\
+ {$primary_hostname}}
+
+ The use of helo_data applies both to sending messages and when doing
+ callouts.
+
+ 9. There is a new expansion operator ${rfc2047d: that decodes strings that
+ are encoded as per RFC 2047. Binary zero bytes are replaced by question
+ marks. Characters are converted into the character set defined by
+ headers_charset. Overlong RFC 2047 "words" are not recognized unless
+ check_rfc2047_length is set false.
+
+10. There is a new log selector called "pid", which causes the current process
+ id to be added to every log line, in square brackets, immediately after the
+ time and date.
+
+11. Exim has been modified so that it flushes SMTP output before implementing
+ a delay in an ACL. This behaviour can be disabled by obeying control =
+ no_delay_flush at some earlier point.
+
+12. There are two new expansion conditions that iterate over a list. They are
+ called forany and forall, and they are used like this:
+
+ ${if forany{<a list>}{<a condition>}{<yes-string>}{<no-string>}}
+ ${if forall{<a list>}{<a condition>}{<yes-string>}{<no-string>}}
+
+ The first argument is expanded, and the result is treated as a list. By
+ default, the list separator is a colon, but it can be changed by the normal
+ method. The second argument is interpreted as a condition that is to be
+ applied to each item in the list in turn. During the interpretation of the
+ condition, the current list item is placed in a variable called $item.
+
+ - For forany, interpretation stops if the condition is true for any item,
+ and the yes-string is then expanded. If the condition is false for all
+ items in the list, the no-string is expanded.
+
+ - For forall, interpration stops if the condition is false for any item,
+ and the no-string is then expanded. If the condition is true for all
+ items in the list, the yes-string is expanded.
+
+ Note that negation of forany means that the condition must be false for all
+ items for the overall condition to succeed, and negation of forall means
+ that the condition must be false for at least one item.
+
+ In this example, the list separator is changed to a comma:
+
+ ${if forany{<, $recipients}{match{$item}{^user3@}}{yes}{no}}
+
+ Outside a forany/forall condition, the value of $item is an empty string.
+ Its value is saved and restored while forany/forall is being processed, to
+ enable these expansion items to be nested.
