The doc/ChangeLog file contains a listing of all changes, including bug fixes. +Version 4.63 +------------ + +1. There is a new Boolean option called filter_prepend_home for the redirect + router. It defaults true, for backward compatibility. If a "save" command in + an Exim filter has a relative path for its argument, and $home is defined, + it is automatically prepended to the relative path. This action can now be + prevented by setting filter_prepend_home false. + +2. There is a new acl, set by acl_not_smtp_start, which is run right at the + start of receiving a non-SMTP message, before any of the message has been + read. (This is the analogue of the acl_smtp_predata ACL for SMTP input.) The + result of this ACL is ignored; it cannot be used to reject a message. If + you really need to, you could set a value in an ACL variable here and reject + based on that in the acl_not_smtp ACL. However, this ACL can be used to set + controls, and in particular, it can be used to set control=suppress_local_ + fixups, which cannot be used in the acl_not_smtp ACL because by the time + that ACL is run, it is too late. When the acl_not_smtp_start ACL is run, the + sender and recipients are known, so the "senders" and "sender_domains" + conditions and $sender_address and $recipients variables can be used. + Variables such as $authenticated_ sender are also available. It is possible + to specify added header lines in this ACL. + +3. When an SMTP error message is specified in a "message" modifier in an ACL, + or in a :fail: or :defer: message in a redirect router, Exim now checks the + start of the message for an SMTP error code. This consists of three digits + followed by a space, optionally followed by an extended code of the form + n.n.n, also followed by a space. If this is the case and the very first + digit is the same as the default error code, the code from the message is + used instead. If the very first digit is incorrect, a panic error is logged, + and the default code is used. This is an incompatible change, but it is not + expected to affect many (if any) configurations. It is possible to suppress + the use of the supplied code in a redirect router by setting the + smtp_error_code option false. In this case, any SMTP code is quietly + ignored. + +4. There is a new parameter for LDAP lookups called "referrals", which takes + one of the settings "follow" (the default) or "nofollow". The latter stops + the LDAP library from trying to follow referrals issued by the LDAP server. + +5. Version 20070721.2 of exipick now included, offering these new options: + --reverse + After all other sorting options have bee processed, reverse order + before displaying messages (-R is synonym). + --random + Randomize order of matching messages before displaying. + --size + Instead of displaying the matching messages, display the sum + of their sizes. + --sort [,...] + Before displaying matching messages, sort the messages according to + each messages value for each variable. + --not + Negate the value for every test (returns inverse output from the + same criteria without --not). + + +Version 4.62 +------------ + +1. The ${readsocket expansion item now supports Internet domain sockets as well + as Unix domain sockets. If the first argument begins "inet:", it must be of + the form "inet:host:port". The port is mandatory; it may be a number or the + name of a TCP port in /etc/services. The host may be a name, or it may be an + IP address. An ip address may optionally be enclosed in square brackets. + This is best for IPv6 addresses. For example: + + ${readsocket{inet:[::1]:1234}{}... + + Only a single host name may be given, but if looking it up yield more than + one IP address, they are each tried in turn until a connection is made. Once + a connection has been made, the behaviour is as for ${readsocket with a Unix + domain socket. + +2. If a redirect router sets up file or pipe deliveries for more than one + incoming address, and the relevant transport has batch_max set greater than + one, a batch delivery now occurs. + +3. The appendfile transport has a new option called maildirfolder_create_regex. + Its value is a regular expression. For a maildir delivery, this is matched + against the maildir directory; if it matches, Exim ensures that a + maildirfolder file is created alongside the new, cur, and tmp directories. + + Version 4.61 ------------
