Instead, proxy the child (and any subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS - cipher, Certificate or OCSP information. + Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged. + +JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of + identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect + "exiwhat" output. + +PP/02 Bug 2070: uClibc defines __GLIBC__ without providing glibc headers; + add noisy ifdef guards to special-case this sillyness. + Patch from Bernd Kuhls. + +JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger + than 255 are no longer allowed. + +JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers. + Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we + currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and + client, there is no benefit for these. + GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't + call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled + by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string + is used (3.2.4 +). + +PP/03 Add $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support for reproducible builds, per spec at + . + +JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously + the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and + erroneously found still-pending ones. + +JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support + MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections). + +JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a + transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for + creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the + signature and again for transmission. + +JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in + 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit + mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also. + +JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the + case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to + a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed + to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP + connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command + which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry + database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha. + +JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were + false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response + or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of + awareness of the SMTP input buffering. + +PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option. + Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a + security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their + own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to + Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration + AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop + processing options. + +JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was + taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server) + responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means + a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS + connections. + +PP/05 OpenSSL/1.1: use DH_bits() for more accurate DH param sizes. This + affects you only if you're dancing at the edge of the param size limits. + If you are, and this message makes sense to you, then: raise the + configured limit or use OpenSSL 1.1.
