Added Yahoo DomainKeys support via libdomainkeys. See + doc/experimental-spec.txt for details. (http://domainkeys.sf.net) + +TK/02. Fix ACL "control" statment not being available in MIME ACL. + +TK/03. Fix ACL "regex" condition not being available in MIME ACL. + +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. + +PH/03. A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not + work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the + parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried + again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of + these two options. + + +A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50 +---------------------------------------- + +Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of +changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was +needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially +in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes +that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance +release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start +from 4.43. + +I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since +4.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to +those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the +historical information. + + +Exim version 4.50 +----------------- + + 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file. + + 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the + computation of the current number of files was incorrect. + + 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The + bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in + place. + + 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport + filter fails to execute. + + 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a + subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This + was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is + now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport + filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports. + + 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option. + + 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file + descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value + unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these + systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256. + + 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This + was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra + controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of + "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a + control that does not make sense is encountered. + + 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission". + +10. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight). + +11. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message + received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup + failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a + cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on. + +12. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value + of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the + sender verification. + +13. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in + $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement. + +14. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router. + +15. Added a new option "connect=
