Two addresses routed to the same list of hosts; + . First host does not offer TLS; + . First host accepts first address; + . First host gives temporary error to second address; + . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established; + . Second host accepts second address. + Exim incorrectly logged both deliveries with the TLS parameters (cipher + and peerdn, if requested) that were in fact used only for the second + address. + +PH/31 When doing a callout as part of verifying an address, Exim was not paying + attention to any local part prefix or suffix that was matched by the + router that accepted the address. It now behaves in the same way as it + does for delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless + rcpt_include_affixes is set on the transport. + +PH/32 Add the sender address, as F=<...>, to the log line when logging a + timeout during the DATA phase of an incoming message. + +PH/33 Sieve envelope tests were broken for match types other than :is.

Fixed it. + +PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on + the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the + same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no + longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous + routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies + went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's + behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given. + + I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete. + Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote + transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be + done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are + presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance. + + For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking + still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be + routed further. + +PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner. + It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The + background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a + connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan + spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it + blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out." + +PH/39 Allow G after quota size as well as K and M. + +PH/40 The value set for $authenticated_id in an authenticator may not contain + binary zeroes or newlines because the value is written to log lines and + to spool files. There was no check on this. Now the value is run through + the string_printing() function so that such characters are converted to + printable escape sequences. + +PH/41 $message_linecount is a new variable that contains the total number of + lines in the message. Compare $body_linecount, which is the count for the + body only. + +PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in + bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which + are as follows: + + (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host; + (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection; + (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter; + (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router; + (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option. + + In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and + warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such + as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given. + +PH/43 $value is now also set for the "else" part of a ${run expansion. + A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50 ----------------------------------------
