This was done some time before quoting was made available + in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys + (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4 + keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work + for iplsearch lookups. + + This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with + colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because + previously such lookups could never work. + + The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in + ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is + incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations. + +TK/01 Change PRVS address formatting scheme to reflect latests BATV draft + version. + +MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s + conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling + a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their + right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an + attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially + exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user. + +TK/02 Bugzilla 502: Apply patch to make the SPF-Received: header use + $primary_hostname instead of what libspf2 thinks the hosts name is. + +MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for + a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a + symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that + Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that + symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry + exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.) + +PH/03 The body_linecount and body_zerocount variables are now exported in the + local_scan API. + +PH/04 Added the $dnslist_matched variable. + +PH/05 Unset $tls_cipher and $tls_peerdn before making a connection as a client. + This means they are set thereafter only if the connection becomes + encrypted. + +PH/06 Added the client_condition to authenticators so that some can be skipped + by clients under certain conditions. + +PH/07 The error message for a badly-placed control=no_multiline_responses left + "_responses" off the end of the name. + +PH/08 Added -Mvc to output a copy of a message in RFC 2822 format. + +PH/09 Tidied the code for creating ratelimiting keys, creating them explicitly + (without spaces) instead of just copying the configuration text. + +PH/10 Added the /noupdate option to the ratelimit ACL condition. + +PH/11 Added $max_received_linelength. + +PH/12 Added +ignore_defer and +include_defer to host lists. + +PH/13 Installed PCRE version 7.2. This needed some changes because of the new + way in which PCRE > 7.0 is built. + +PH/14 Implemented queue_only_load_latch. + +PH/15 Removed an incorrect (int) cast when reading the value of SIZE in a + MAIL command. The effect was to mangle the value on 64-bit systems. + +PH/16 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer. + +PH/17 Added the NOTQUIT ACL, based on a patch from Ted Cooper. + +PH/18 If a system quota error occurred while trying to create the file for + a maildir delivery, the message "Mailbox is full" was not appended to the + bounce if the delivery eventually timed out. Change 4.67/27 below applied + only to a quota excession during the actual writing of the file. + +PH/19 It seems that peer DN values may contain newlines (and other non-printing + characters?) which causes problems in log lines. The DN values are now + passed through string_printing() before being added to log lines. + +PH/20 Added the "servers=" facility to MySQL and PostgreSQL lookups.
