 New Features in Exim

+   $interface_address (that is, the connection is local), the "secured" option

 4. The variable $message_headers_raw provides a concatenation of all the
    messages's headers without any decoding. This is in contrast to
    $message_headers, which does RFC2047 decoding on the header contents.

    values matches (or if no record is found), this is the only lookup that is
    done. Only if there is a match is one of the more specific lists consulted.
 
+6. All authenticators now have a server_condition option. Previously, only
+   plaintext had this, and this has not changed: it must be set to the
+   authenticator as a server. For the others, if server_condition is set, it is
+   expanded if authentication is successful, and treated exactly as it is in
+   plaintext. This can serve as a means of adding authorization to an
+   authenticator.
+
+7. There is a new command-line option called -Mset. It is useful only in
+   conjunction with -be (that is, when testing string expansions). It must be
+   followed by a message id; Exim loads the given message from its spool before
+   doing the expansions, thus setting message-specific variables such as
+   $message_size and the header variables. The $recipients variable is
+   available. This feature is provided to make it easier to test expansions
+   that make use of these variables. However, Exim must be called by an admin
+   user when -Mset is used.
+
+8. Another similar new command-line option is called -bem. It operates like -be
+   except that it must be followed by the name of a file. For example:
+
+     exim -bem /tmp/testmessage
+
+   The file is read as a message (as if receiving a locally-submitted non-SMTP
+   message) before any of the test expansions are done. Thus, message-specific
+   variables such as $message_size and $h_from: are available. However, no
+   Received: header is added to the message. If the -t option is set,
+   recipients are read from the headers in the normal way, and are shown in the
+   $recipients variable. Note that recipients cannot be given on the command
+   line, because further arguments are taken as strings to expand (just like
+   -be).
