If a + filecount value is greater than 2G or if a quota value is greater than 2G + on a system where the size of off_t is not greater than 4, a panic error + is given. + +PH/23 When a malformed item such as 1.2.3/24 appears in a host list, it can + never match. The debug and -bh output now contains an explicit error + message indicating a malformed IPv4 address or mask. + +PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address + 1.2.3.4 without a mask. Now it is not recognized as an IP address, and + PH/23 above applies. + +PH/25 Do not write to syslog when running in the test harness. The only + occasion when this arises is a failure to open the main or panic logs + (for which there is an explicit test). + +PH/26 Added the /no_tell option to "control=freeze". + +PH/27 If a host name lookup failed very early in a connection, for example, if + the IP address matched host_lookup and the reverse lookup yielded a name + that did not have a forward lookup, an error message of the form "no IP + address found for host xxx.xxx.xxx (during SMTP connection from NULL)" + could be logged. Now it outputs the IP address instead of "NULL". + +PH/28 An enabling patch from MH: add new function child_open_exim2() which + allows the sender and the authenticated sender to be set when + submitting a message from within Exim. Since child_open_exim() is + documented for local_scan(), the new function should be too. + +PH/29 In GnuTLS, a forced expansion failure for tls_privatekey was not being + ignored. In both GnuTLS and OpenSSL, an expansion of tls_privatekey that + results in an empty string is now treated as unset. + +PH/30 Fix eximon buffer overflow bug (Bugzilla #73). + +PH/31 Added sender_verify_fail logging option. + +PH/32 In November 2003, the code in Exim that added an empty Bcc: header when + needed by RFC 822 but not by RFC 2822 was commented out. I have now + tidied the source and removed it altogether. + +PH/33 When a queue run was abandoned because the load average was too high, a + log line was always written; now it is written only if the queue_run log + selector is set. In addition, the log line for abandonment now contains + information about the queue run such as the pid. This is always present + in "start" and "stop" lines but was omitted from the "abandon" line. + +PH/34 Omit spaces between a header name and the colon in the error message that + is given when verify = headers_syntax fails (if there are lots of them, + the message gets confusing). + +PH/35 Change the default for dns_check_names_pattern to allow slashes within + names, as there are now some PTR records that contain slashes. This check + is only to protect against broken name servers that fall over on strange + characters, so the fact that it applies to all lookups doesn't matter. + +PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the + special code in Exim that was needed for the old test suite. For example, + sorting DNS records because real resolvers return them in an arbitrary + order. The new test suite's fake resolver always returns records in the + same order. + +PH/37 When running in the test harness, use -odi for submitted messages (e.g. + bounces) except when queue_only is set, to avoid logging races between + the different processes. + +PH/38 Panic-die if .include specifies a non-absolute path. + +PH/39 A tweak to the "H" retry rule from its user. + +JJ/03 exipick: Removed parentheses from 'next' and 'last' calls that specified + a label. They prevented compilation on older perls. + +JJ/04 exipick: Refactored code to prevent implicit split to @_ which caused + a warning to be raised on newish perls. + +JJ/05 exipick: Fixed bug where -bpc always showed a count of all messages + on queue. Changes to match documented behaviour of showing count of + messages matching specified criteria. + +PH/40 Changed the default ident timeout from 30s to 5s. + +PH/41 Added support for the use of login_cap features, on those BSD systems + that have them, for controlling the resources used by pipe deliveries.
