Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.51
+-----------------
+
+TK/01. Added Yahoo DomainKeys support via libdomainkeys. See
+ doc/experimental-spec.txt for details. (http://domainkeys.sf.net)
+
+PH/01. Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
+ to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
+
+PH/02. Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
+ that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
+ The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
+ if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
+ old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
+ means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
+ file.

A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
----------------------------------------
error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
+73. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
+ during host lookups.
+
+74. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
+ when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
+
+ verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
+
+75. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
+ those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
+ wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
+ could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
+ stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
+ background.
+
+76. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
+ log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
+
+77. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
+ the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
+ for the non-SMTP ACL.
+
+78. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
+
+79. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
+ restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
+ a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
+ connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
+ earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
+ else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
+ process earlier.
+
+80. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
+ or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
+ It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
+ related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
+ illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
+
+81. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
+ tables).
+
+82. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith.
+
+83. Patch from Sieve maintainer to fix unterminated string problem in
+ "vacation" handling.
+
+84. Some minor changes to the Linux configuration files to help with other
+ OS variants using glibc.
+
+85. One more patch for Sieve to update vacation handling to latest spec.
+
