This avoids potential overflow problems when processing G + and H retry rules, and it seems reasonable to require a retry at least + once a day. + +PH/12 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server + challenges are now checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. The + default action on failure is to abort the authentication. However, if + client_ignore_invalid_base64 is set true, invalid responses are ignored. + +PH/13 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the challenges + from the server are placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as they are received. + Thus, the challege that is received in response to sending the first + string (with the AUTH command) can be used in the expansion of the second + string, and so on. Currently, up to 3 challenge strings are available in + this way. If an invalid base64 string is received when client_ignore_ + invalid_base64 is set, an empty string is put in the $auth variable. + +PH/14 Messages created by the autoreply transport now contain a References: + header. This is constructed in accordance with rules that are described + in section 3.64 of RFC 2822, which states that replies should contain + such a header line, and section 3.14 of RFC 3834, which states that + automatic responses are not different in this respect. However, because + some mail processing software does not cope well with very long header + lines, no more than 12 message IDs are copied from the References: header + line in the incoming message. If there are more than 12, the first one + and then the final 11 are copied, before adding the message ID of the + incoming message. + +PH/15 The smtp transport has a new option called authenticated_sender_force. + When set true, it allows the authenticated_sender option's value to be + used, even if Exim has not authenticated as a client. + +PH/16 The expansion ${time_eval:} converts an Exim time string such as + 2d4h1m into a number of seconds. + Version 4.60 ------------
