A new main configuration option, "openssl_options", is available if Exim + is built with SSL support provided by OpenSSL. The option allows + administrators to specify OpenSSL options to be used on connections; + typically this is to set bug compatibility features which the OpenSSL + developers have not enabled by default. There may be security + consequences for certain options, so these should not be changed + frivolously. + + 2. A new pipe transport option, "permit_coredumps", may help with problem + diagnosis in some scenarios. Note that Exim is typically installed as + a setuid binary, which on most OSes will inhibit coredumps by default, + so that safety mechanism would have to be overriden for this option to + be able to take effect. + + 3.

This is the same behaviour as when clamd is pointed at + a Unix-domain socket. For example: + + av_scanner = clamd:192.0.2.3 1234:local + + 4. There is now a -bmalware option, restricted to admin users. This option + takes one parameter, a filename, and scans that file with Exim's + malware-scanning framework.
