 New Features in Exim
 --------------------
@@ -100,6 +100,53 @@ PH/04 There is a new option called acl_not_smtp_mime that allows you to scan
       MIME parts in non-SMTP messages. It operates in exactly the same way as
       acl_smtp_mime
 
+PH/05 It is now possible to redefine a macro within the configuration file.
+      The macro must have been previously defined within the configuration (or
+      an included file). A definition on the command line using the -D option
+      causes all definitions and redefinitions within the file to be ignored.
+      In other words, -D overrides any values that are set in the file.
+      Redefinition is specified by using '==' instead of '='. For example:
+
+        MAC1 =  initial value
+        ...
+        MAC1 == updated value
+
+      Redefinition does not alter the order in which the macros are applied to
+      the subsequent lines of the configuration file. It is still the same
+      order in which the macros were originally defined. All that changes is
+      the macro's value. Redefinition makes it possible to accumulate values.
+      For example:
+
+        MAC1 =  initial value
+        ...
+        MAC1 == MAC1 and something added
+
+      This can be helpful in situations where the configuration file is built
+      from a number of other files.
+
+PH/06 Macros may now be defined or redefined between router, transport,
+      authenticator, or ACL definitions, as well as in the main part of the
+      configuration. They may not, however, be changed within an individual
+      driver or ACL, or in the local_scan, retry, or rewrite sections of the
+      configuration.
+
+PH/07 $acl_verify_message is now set immediately after the failure of a
+      verification in an ACL, and so is available in subsequent modifiers. In
+      particular, the message can be preserved by coding like this:
+
+         warn  !verify = sender
+               set acl_m0 = $acl_verify_message
+
+      Previously, $acl_verify_message was set only while expanding "message"
+      and "log_message" when a very denied access.
+
+PH/08 The redirect router has two new options, sieve_useraddress and
+      sieve_subaddress. These are passed to a Sieve filter to specify the :user
+      and :subaddress parts of an address. Both options are unset by default.
+      However, when a Sieve filter is run, if sieve_useraddress is unset, the
+      entire original local part (including any prefix or suffix) is used for
+      :user. An unset subaddress is treated as an empty subaddress.
