If so, they are comma-separated, like + this: + + => >ano@some.domain,ona@other.domain ... + +PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO + command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was + not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the + IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were + identical. For example: + + Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4]) + + However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data + if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it + doesn't show the same IP address twice. + +PH/07 When both +timestamp and +memory debugging was on, the value given by + $tod_xxx expansions could be wrong, because the tod_stamp() function was + called by the debug printing, thereby overwriting the timestamp buffer. + Debugging no longer uses the tod_stamp() function when +timestamp is set. + +PH/08 When the original message was included in an autoreply transport, it + always said "this is a copy of the message, including all the headers", + even if body_only or headers_only was set.

In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was + also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of + hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response + to another message, thes have all been changed to: + + Auto-Submitted: auto-replied + + in accordance with these statements in the RFC: + + The auto-replied keyword: + + - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another + message by an automatic process, + + - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages, + + - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message + Disposition Notifications (MDNs), + + - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic + processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to + other messages. + +PH/11 Added "${if def:sender_address {(envelope-from <$sender_address>)\n\t}}" + to the default Received: header definition. + +PH/12 Added log selector acl_warn_skipped (default on). + +PH/13 After a successful wildlsearch lookup, discard the values of numeric + variables because (a) they are in the wrong storage pool and (b) even if + they were copied, it wouldn't work properly because of the caching. + +PH/14 Add check_rfc2047_length to disable enforcement of RFC 2047 length + checking when decoding. Apparently there are clients that generate + overlong encoded strings.

Now it writes a panic log message + and treats the condition as false. + +PH/16 In autoreply, treat an empty string for "once" the same as unset. + +PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve + extension "envelope-auth". The code is finished and in agreement with + other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact, + nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus + not changing the active code. + + Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used.

However, after a host name lookup from + the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with + addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did + have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6 + addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could + fail.
