Use of the new expansion variable $tls_sni in the main configuration option + tls_certificate will cause Exim to re-expand the option, if the client + sends the TLS Server Name Indication extension, to permit choosing a + different certificate; tls_privatekey will also be re-expanded. You must + still set these options to expand to valid files when $tls_sni is not set. + + The SMTP Transport has gained the option tls_sni, which will set a hostname + for outbound TLS sessions, and set $tls_sni too. + + A new log_selector, +tls_sni, has been added, to log received SNI values + for Exim as a server. + + Currently OpenSSL only. + + 8. The existing "accept_8bitmime" option now defaults to true. This means + that Exim is deliberately not strictly RFC compliant. We're following + Dan Bernstein's advice in http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html by default. + Those who disagree, or know that they are talking to mail servers that, + even today, are not 8-bit clean, need to turn off this option. + + 9. With OpenSSL, if built with EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP, a new option tls_ocsp_file + is now available. If the contents of the file are valid, then Exim will + send that back in response to a TLS status request; this is OCSP Stapling. + Exim will not maintain the contents of the file in any way: administrators + are responsible for ensuring that it is up-to-date. + + See "experimental-spec.txt" for more details. + Version 4.77 ------------
