When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output. +41. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails + to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name + of the failing file when there is a problem reading it. + +42. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run. + +43. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity. + +44. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source. + +45. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get + transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active + < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the + introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare + because the tests only now provoked it. + +46. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed + (this can affect the format of dates). + +47. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for + which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding + messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was + deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence. + +48. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats. + +49. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving + on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail, + contradicting the general specification for all authenticators.

The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal + (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256, + AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128. + +51. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an + autoreply. + +52. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be + recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back + as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by + increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that + happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I + have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what + is going on). + +53. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if + the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep + was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in + the line. + +54. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A + patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to + create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote: + + "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with + Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one + Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code + of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. + But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result, + so I produce this patch..." + +55. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The + keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The + dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it + leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses. + +56. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP. + +57. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very + long debug lines gets shown. + +58. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep + exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02... + +59. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option: + + (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable. + (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead + of $primary_hostname. + +60. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known + to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was + not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies + if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked + from a dnsdb lookup; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already + been fixed by change 4.50/55 above. If there are any other similar + loopholes, the new check should stop them being exploited. + Exim version 4.43 -----------------
