 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21

@@ -14,6 +14,13 @@ 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.
