See NewStuff for details. +PH/01 When a transport filter timed out in a pipe delivery, and the pipe + command itself ended in error, the underlying message about the transport + filter timeout was being overwritten with the pipe command error. Now the + underlying error message should be appended to the second error message. + +TK/01 Fix poll() being unavailable on Mac OSX 10.2. + +PH/02 Reduce the amount of output that "make" produces by default. Full output + can still be requested. + +PH/03 The warning log line about a condition test deferring for a "warn" verb + was being output only once per connection, rather than after each + occurrence (because it was using the same function as for successful + "warn" verbs). This seems wrong, so I have changed it. + +TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that + it should not have, which might have caused a crash in the right + circumstances, but probably never did. + +PH/04 Installed a modified version of Tony Finch's patch to make submission + mode fix the return path as well as the Sender: header line, and to + add a /name= option so that you can make the user's friendly name appear + in the header line. + +TF/03 Added the control = fakedefer ACL modifier. + +TF/04 Added the ratelimit ACL condition. See NewStuff for details. Thanks to + Mark Lowes for thorough testing. + +TK/02 Rewrote SPF support to work with libspf2 versions >1.2.0. + +TK/03 Merged latest SRS patch from Miles Wilton. + +PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts + with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier). + Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to + preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were + scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion, + so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h. + +PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout + in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single + write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write. + This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it + would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It + doesn't have to be particularly precise. + +TK/04 Added simple SPF lookup method in EXPERIMENTAL_SPF. See NewStuff for + details. Thanks to Chris Webb for the patch! + +PH/07 Added "fullpostmaster" verify option, which does a check to + without a domain if the check to fails. + +SC/01 Eximstats: added -xls and the ability to specify output files + (patch written by Frank Heydlauf). + +SC/02 Eximstats: use FileHandles for outputing results. + +SC/03 Eximstats: allow any combination of xls, txt, and html output. + +SC/04 Eximstats: fixed display of large numbers with -nvr option + +SC/05 Eximstats: fixed merging of reports with empty tables. + +SC/06 Eximstats: added the -include_original_destination flag + +SC/07 Eximstats: removed tabs and trailing whitespace. + +TK/05 Malware: Improve on aveserver error handling. Patch from Alex Miller. + +TK/06 MBOX spool code: Add real "From " MBOX separator line + so the .eml file is really in mbox format (even though + most programs do not really care). Patch from Alex Miller. + +TK/07 MBOX spool code: Add X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To: headers. + The latter is generated from $received_to and is only set if the + message has one envelope recipient. SA can use these headers, + obviously out-of-the-box. Patch from Alex Miller. + +PH/08 The ${def test on a variable was returning false if the variable's + value was "0", contrary to what the specification has always said! + The result should be true unless the variable is empty. + +PH/09 The syntax error of a character other than { following "${if + def:variable_name" (after optional whitespace) was not being diagnosed. + An expansion such as ${if def:sender_ident:{xxx}{yyy}} in which an + accidental colon was present, for example, could give incorrect results. + +PH/10 Tidied the code in a number of places where the st_size field of a stat() + result is used (not including appendfile, where other changes are about + to be made). + +PH/11 Upgraded appendfile so that quotas larger than 2G are now supported. + This involved changing a lot of size variables from int to off_t. It + should work with maildirs and everything. + +TK/08 Apply fix provided by Michael Haardt to prevent deadlock in case of + spamd dying while we are connected to it. + +TF/05 Fixed a ${extract error message typo reported by Jeremy Harris + + +PH/12 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch for the API change for the error callback + function for BDB 4.3. + +PH/13 Changed auto_thaw such that it does not apply to bounce messages. + +PH/14 Imported PCRE 6.0; this was more than just a trivial operation because + the sources for PCRE have been re-arranged and more files are now + involved. + +PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11 + above was not the best (it lost precision). The length of off_t variables + is now inspected at build time, and an appropriate printing format (%ld + or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T + to be "long long int" or "long int". This is needed for the internal + formatting function string_vformat(). + +PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in + the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where + the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our + case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script + suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks + to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim + with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it + falls back to the previous guessing code." + +TK/09 Added "prvs" and "prvscheck" expansion items. These help a lot with + implementing BATV in an Exim configuration. See NewStuff for the gory + details. + +PH/17 Applied Michael Haardt's patch for HP-UX, affecting only the os.h and + Makefile that are specific to HP-UX. + +PH/18 If the "use_postmaster" option was set for a recipient callout together + with the "random" option, the postmaster address was used as the MAIL + FROM address for the random test, but not for the subsequent recipient + test. It is now used for both. + +PH/19 Applied Michael Haardt's patch to update Sieve to RFC3028bis. "The + patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the + latest draft now contains them. It adds the new en;ascii-case comparator + and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and + require names are now matched exactly. I enabled the subaddress + extension, but it is not well tested yet (read: it works for me)." + +PH/20 Added macros for time_t as for off_t (see PH/15 above) and used them to + rework some of the code of TK/09 above to avoid the hardwired use of + "%lld" and "long long". Replaced the call to snprintf() with a call to + string_vformat(). + +PH/21 Added another message to those in 4.51/PH/42, namely "All relevant MX + records point to non-existent hosts". + +PH/22 Fixed some oversights/typos causing bugs when Exim is compiled with + experimental DomainKeys support: + + (1) The filter variables $n0-$n9 and $sn0-$sn9 were broken. + (2) On an error such as an illegally used "control", the wrong name for + the control was given. + + These problems did NOT occur unless DomainKeys support was compiled. + +PH/23 Added daemon_startup_retries and daemon_startup_sleep. + Exim version 4.51 -----------------
