Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_ +hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and +probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing +callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been +changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport +instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If +there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host +addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used. This change is mentioned here in +case somebody is relying on the use of $smtp_active_hostname. + +2. A bug has been fixed that might just possibly be something that is relied on +in some configurations. In expansion items such as ${if >{xxx}{yyy}...} an +empty string (that is {}) was being interpreted as if it was {0} and therefore +treated as the number zero. From release 4.64, such strings cause an error +because a decimal number, possibly followed by K or M, is required (as has +always been documented). + +3. There has been a change to the GnuTLS support (ChangeLog/PH/20) to improve +Exim's performance. Unfortunately, this has the side effect of being slightly +non-upwards compatible for versions 4.50 and earlier. If you are upgrading from +one of these earlier versions and you use GnuTLS, you must remove the file +called gnutls-params in Exim's spool directory. If you don't do this, you will +see this error: + + TLS error on connection from ... (DH params import): Base64 decoding error. + +Removing the file causes Exim to recompute the relevant encryption parameters +and cache them in the new format that was introduced for release 4.51 (May +2005). If you are upgrading from release 4.51 or later, there should be no +problem. + + Exim version 4.63 -----------------
