+(298) 25-Oct-04 S Debugging the daemon process only
+
+When there are daemon problems (e.g. it dies) it would be helpful to be able to
+turn on debugging that did not get passed on to any subprocesses.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(299) 25-Oct-04 S Options to make Sieve "keep" pass to next router
+
+Currently, "keep" saves in the mailbox. Probably need two options, for implicit
+and explicit keep commands.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(300) 25-Oct-04 S Option to lock out Sieve or Exim filter
+
+Currently, if allow_filter is set, either kind of filter is permitted.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(301) 27-Oct-04 M Use an "ACL" to filter logging
+
+This idea was for ACL syntax to be able to "accept" or "deny" individual log
+lines. This would make it possible to have, for example, per-host logging for
+certain things. See also 15 above.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(302) 28-Oct-04 M Expand pass_router and redirect_router
+
+Doing this would mean postponing the validity checks till the router was
+actually used instead of doing them at start up. It does not seem to be a
+facility that will be widely used.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(303) 28-Oct-04 M Support SQL relay
+
+This would make it easier for packagers to support "generic SQL" without having
+to choose which one. It can be slotted in using a MySQL interface without
+modifying Exim, but native support would be nice.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(304) 02-Nov-04 M A way of seeing the whole message in Perl or ${run
+
+At present, the headers are available in $message_headers, but only part of
+the body is visible. The only way to pass the whole body would be as a file
+descriptor because it can be very large. See also (42).
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(305) 02-Nov-04 M A Perl transport
+
+The suggestion here is that an embedded Perl function takes responsibility for
+doing the delivery. I am not at all keen on this. One way of doing it would be
+to implement (244), which provides an "on success" string expansion. Then
+anyone who wants this could run that on a transport that does nothing.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(306) 09-Nov-04 M Make the search type partial-lsearch*@ be useful
+
+At present, it treats the whole key as a domain for the partial search, then
+does the *@ thing. A more sensible plan would be something like:
+
+ user@company.com
+ *@company.com
+ user@*.company.com
+ *@*.company.com
+ *
+
+That is, try the local part and * at each of the partial domain values.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(307) 24-Nov-04 S Check the syntax of Message-ID: header lines
+
+This could be added to "verify=header_syntax" or, if the incompatibility is
+felt to be too great, an additional condition, or a sub-option, could be added.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(308) 24-Nov-04 S Add $body_longlinecount and $header_longlinecount
+
+These variables would hold the number of physical lines in the body and header
+that were longer than 998 bytes. This would be fiddly to implement because of
+the way Exim currently reads the input. It isn't just a trivial patch.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(309) 01-Dec-04 S/M Queue runners should get locks before forking
+
+If a queue-runner opened the -D file and took out the lock before forking, it
+would waste fewer resources if the message was already being delivered. But how
+often would this actually matter in practice?
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(310) 06-Dec-04 S After "personal" save what matched
+
+The idea is to save the email address that actually was found in the message
+in a variable so it can be used (e.g. as the From: address in an autoreply).
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(311) 07-Dec-04 ? More flexible SMTP response codes
+
+The requestor wanted to be able to specify, for example, 551 in an ACL deny
+instead of 550, and also vary the defer code. The first digit, however, should
+remain fixed. In addition to main codes, enhanced status codes (RFC 2034) were
+requested. (As far as I can tell, they have never been highly popular.)
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(312) 10-Dec-04 ? Shadow remote transports
+
+Unless a lot of work is done, this would be restricted to another remote
+transport. A similar effect could therefore be achieved with "shadow_hosts"
+which are like fallback_hosts but which operate on success.
