8Exim version 4.93
9-----------------
10
8a40db1c
JH
11JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
12 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 13
fc243e94 14JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
15 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
16 its own TCP segment.
17
897024f1
JH
18JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
19 each verb.
20
f1be21cf
JH
21JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
22
fe12ec88
JH
23JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
24
05bf16f6
JH
25JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
26 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
27
fc243e94
JH
28JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
29 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
30 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
31 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
32 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
33 suitably configured).
34
c05bdbd6 35JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
36 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
37
14bc9cf0
JH
38JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
39 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
40 crash could result.
41
254f38d1
JH
42JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
43 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
44
c09dbcfb
JH
45JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
46 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
47 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
48 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
49 to this system.
254f38d1 50
f9fc9427
JH
51JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
52 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
53 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
54
e6024a5e
JH
55JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
56 output.
57
1fbf41cd
JH
58JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
59 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
60
3c55eef2 61JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 62 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
63 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
64 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
65 input).
66
cb80814d
HSHR
67HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
68 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
69 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
70 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
71 (It was "hdr.$pid".)
72
7d8d08c4 73HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
82a996b1
HSHR
74 shared (NFS) environment.
75
7d8d08c4 76HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
82a996b1
HSHR
77 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
78 affected.
79
bd83c6f9
JH
80JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
81 on some platforms for bit 31.
82
d9acfc1c
JH
83JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
84 to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
85 previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
86 like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
87 and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
88 the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
89 This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
90 and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
91
b10c87b3
JH
92JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
93
7a501c87
JH
94JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
95 verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
96
e5903596
JH
97JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue. Previously, even with the option
98 queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
99 facility.
100
12d95aa6
JH
101JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
102 directory-of-certs mode. Previously they were advertised despite the
103 documentation.
104
96eb7d2a
JH
105JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
106 A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
107 for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
108 not do so.
109
59c0959a 110JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
01603eec
JH
111 default. If built with the facility, DANE will be used. The facility
112 SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
113
114JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
de517fd3
JH
115 is replaced with DISABLE_TLS. Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
116 must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
117 the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
118 choice. Non-TLS builds are still supported.
59c0959a 119
48519cef
JH
120JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
121 reject under TFO.
96eb7d2a 122
efad2f41 123JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
4e48d56c 124 default. If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
efad2f41
JH
125 be requested on all coneections.
126
4e48d56c
JH
127JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
128 controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.
129
6ee11061 130PP/01 Unbreak heimdal_gssapi, broken in 4.92.
0a5441fc 131
87abcb24
JH
132JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
133 success-DSN messages. Previously the From: header was always the default
134 one for these; the option was ignored.
6ee11061 135
0a5441fc
JH
136JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
137 Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
138 single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
139 long time. Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
140
436bda2a
JH
141JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field. Previously it was the post-routing
142 delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
143 forwarding. Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
144 standards.
145
df98a6ff
JH
146JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
147 requested. Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
148 error ignored was made.
149
21aa0597
JH
150JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)
151
f3ebb786
JH
152JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
153 channel, and values derived from them. Refuse to expand any tainted
154 values, to catch one form of exploit.
155
9fa4d5b4
RJ
156JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option. Previously the expansion result
157 was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test. Found and
158 fixed by Ruben Jenster.
159
bd231acd
JH
160JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown. When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
161 an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
162 causing a segfault.
163
7b564712
JH
164JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
165 them in our smtp response.
166
9c6881f8 167JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
dbbf21a7
JH
168 any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything). Previously it
169 was only for check_local user. The change removes one item of manual
170 configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
171 handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
172
9c6881f8
JH
173JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
174 link count into consideration.
175
7d8d08c4
JH
176HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
177 caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
178
179JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
180 accordance with RFC 2308. Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
181 receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
182 surprise.
183

185Exim version 4.92
186-----------------
187
9723f966
JH
188JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
189 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
190
191JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
192 non-signal-safe functions being used.
193
194JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
195 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
196 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 197
ea7b1f16
JH
198JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
199 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
200 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
201
cfbb0d24
JH
202JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
203 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
204 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
205 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
206 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
207 messed with.
208
85defcf0
PP
209PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
210 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
211
1bd642c2
JH
212JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
213 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
214 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
215 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
216 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
217 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
218 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
219
2ddb4094
JH
220JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
221 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
222
1613fd68
JH
223JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
224 legitimate.
225
e6057245
JH
226JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
227 Previously this would segfault.
228
7b9822bf
JH
229JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
230 segfault.
231
d8d9f930
JH
232JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
233 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
234 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
235 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
236 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
237 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
238
61e3f250
JH
239JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
240
7a8b9519
JH
241JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
242 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
243 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
244 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
245
49e56fb3
JH
246JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
247
74f1a423
JH
248JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
249 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
250 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
251 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
252
5054c4fd 253JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
254
255JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
5054c4fd 256
946515bf
JH
257JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
258 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
259 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
260
8c34c611
JH
261JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
262 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
263 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
264
1bca4f5f
PP
265PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
266
8a6b4e02
JH
267JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
268 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
269 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
270 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
271
0a682b6c
PP
272PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
273 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
274 promised '?' replacement.
275
c2c451ac
PP
276PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
277
8768d548
JH
278JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
279 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
280 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
281 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
282 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
283
5455f548
JH
284JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
285 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
286 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
287
25beaee4
MK
288JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
289 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
290 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
291
7ea1237c 292JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 293 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
294 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
295
ebda598a
JH
296JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
297 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
298 hope that is portable enough.
299
570cb1bd
JH
300JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
301 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
302 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
303 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
304
eb58ddf5
JH
305JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
306 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
307 SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
308
ffbc20ed
MK
309JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
310 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
311 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
312 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
313
4e928780
MK
314JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
315 msg:fail:internal event. Developement by Matthias Kurz.
316
75c121f0 317JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
059f2ace 318 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all
75c121f0
JH
319 the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
320 overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
321
e30f4f43
JH
322JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
323 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
324 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
325
a45431fa
JH
326JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
327 platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
328 (i.e. more than 2 TB). Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
329 the previous G, M, k.
330
c0fb53b7
JH
331JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
332 $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure. Previously
333 it was unset.
334
6aac3239
JH
335JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048. RHEL 8.0
336 OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key. Do for GnuTLS also, and for
337 more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
338 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.
339
5a2a0989
JH
340JH/35 OpenSSL: fail the handshake when SNI processing hits a problem, server
341 side. Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.
342
de6f74f2 343JH/36 Harden the handling of string-lists. When a list consisted of a sole
b72f857f
JH
344 "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked
345 off past the nul-terimation.
346
de6f74f2
JH
347JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external
348 causes) even when the retry time is not yet met. Previously they were
349 not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting,
350 and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get
351 notified on each configured delay_warning cycle.
352
aa6e77af 353JH/38 Bug 2351: Log failures to extract envelope addresses from message headers.
aaf3e414 354
25fa0868
JH
355JH/39 OpenSSL: clear the error stack after an SSL_accept(). With anon-auth
356 cipher-suites, an error can be left on the stack even for a succeeding
357 accept; this results in impossible error messages when a later operation
358 actually does fail.
359
cb6bd80f
JH
360AM/01 Bug 2359: GnuTLS: repeat lowlevel read and write operations while they
361 return error codes indicating retry. Under TLS1.3 this becomes required.
362
363JH/40 Fix the feature-cache refresh for EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT. Previously
364 it only wrote the new authenticators, resulting in a lack of tracking of
365 peer changes of ESMTP extensions until the next cache flush.
518b70e9 366
56ac062a
JH
367JH/41 Fix the loop reading a message header line to check for integer overflow,
368 and more-often against header_maxsize. Previously a crafted message could
369 induce a crash of the recive process; now the message is cleanly rejected.
370
ae63862b
MA
371JH/42 Bug 2366: Fix the behaviour of the dkim_verify_signers option. It had
372 been totally disabled for all of 4.91. Discovery and fix by "Mad Alex".

376-----------------
459fca58 377
c39c8870 378GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
bb264f6b
JH
379 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
380 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
381 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
382 next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
383 be defined in redis_servers.

405JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
406 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
407 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
408 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
409 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
410 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
411 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
412 Main pool for expansions.
413 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
414 active in the testsuite.
415 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.

522JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
523 as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
524 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
525 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
526 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
527 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
528 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
529 receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system

907JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
908 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
909 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
910 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
911 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
912 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
913 if one fails this test.
914 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
915 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1729TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1730
1731 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1732 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1733 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1734 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1735 the retry rules.
1736
1737 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1738 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1739 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1740
1741 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1742 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1743 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1744 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1745
1ddeb334
TF
1746 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1747 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1748 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1749 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1750 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1751 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1752 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1753
1754 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1755 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1763 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1764 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1765 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1766 username as equal to the username.

1795 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

2077TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
2078 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
2079 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
2080
2081 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
2082 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
2083 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
2084 not safe for signals.
2085
2086 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2087 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2088 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2089 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2090 exiwhat.
2091
c99ce5c9
TF
2092TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2093
2094 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2095 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2096 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2097 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 2098 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
2099
2100 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2101 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2102 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2103 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2104 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2105 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2106
2107 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2108 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2109 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2110 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2111
2112 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2113 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2114 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2115 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2116
2117 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2118 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2119 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2120 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2121 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2122 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2123 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2124 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2125 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2126
2127 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2128 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2129 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2130 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2131
2132 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2133 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2134 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2135 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2136 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2137 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2138 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2139 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2140 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2141 details in the main documentation.

2688 ALT-N's libdkim that I have put here:

2690
2691 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
2692 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
2693 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
2694 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
2695 build errors in sieve.c.

2710Exim version 4.68
2711-----------------
2712
2713PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2714
6a3bceb1
PH
2715PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2716 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2717 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2718 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2719 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2720 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2721 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2722 for iplsearch lookups.
2723
2724 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2725 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2726 previously such lookups could never work.
2727
4c04137d 2728 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2729 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2730 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
2731
2e30fa9d
TK
2732TK/01 Change PRVS address formatting scheme to reflect latests BATV draft
2733 version.
2734
0806a9c5
MH
2735MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2736 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2737 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2738 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2739 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2740 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.
2741
ae276964
TK
2742TK/02 Bugzilla 502: Apply patch to make the SPF-Received: header use
2743 $primary_hostname instead of what libspf2 thinks the hosts name is.
2744
0f2cbd1b
MH
2745MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2746 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2747 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2748 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2749 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2750 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)
2751
2b85bce7
PH
2752PH/03 The body_linecount and body_zerocount variables are now exported in the
2753 local_scan API.

93655c46
PH
2755PH/04 Added the $dnslist_matched variable.
2756
6c512171
PH
2757PH/05 Unset $tls_cipher and $tls_peerdn before making a connection as a client.
2758 This means they are set thereafter only if the connection becomes
2759 encrypted.
2760
2761PH/06 Added the client_condition to authenticators so that some can be skipped
2762 by clients under certain conditions.
2763
aa6dc513
PH
2764PH/07 The error message for a badly-placed control=no_multiline_responses left
2765 "_responses" off the end of the name.

2767PH/08 Added -Mvc to output a copy of a message in RFC 2822 format.
2768
8f240103
PH
2769PH/09 Tidied the code for creating ratelimiting keys, creating them explicitly
2770 (without spaces) instead of just copying the configuration text.
2771
2772PH/10 Added the /noupdate option to the ratelimit ACL condition.
2773
d677b2f2
PH
2774PH/11 Added $max_received_linelength.

2779 way in which PCRE > 7.0 is built.

PH
2781PH/14 Implemented queue_only_load_latch.
2782
a4dc33a8
PH
2783PH/15 Removed an incorrect (int) cast when reading the value of SIZE in a
2784 MAIL command. The effect was to mangle the value on 64-bit systems.

PH
2786PH/16 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.

PH
2788PH/17 Added the NOTQUIT ACL, based on a patch from Ted Cooper.
2789
8932dffe
PH
2790PH/18 If a system quota error occurred while trying to create the file for
2791 a maildir delivery, the message "Mailbox is full" was not appended to the
2792 bounce if the delivery eventually timed out. Change 4.67/27 below applied
2793 only to a quota excession during the actual writing of the file.
d6a60c0f 2794
ddea74fa 2795PH/19 It seems that peer DN values may contain newlines (and other non-printing
48ed62d9
PH
2796 characters?) which causes problems in log lines. The DN values are now
2797 passed through string_printing() before being added to log lines.
2798
ddea74fa 2799PH/20 Added the "servers=" facility to MySQL and PostgreSQL lookups. (Oracle
b7670459
PH
2800 and InterBase are left for another time.)

2807
bc64a74d
PH
2808PH/24 If the recipient of an error message contained an @ in the local part
2809 (suitably quoted, of course), incorrect values were put in $domain and
2810 $local_part during the evaluation of errors_copy.

MH
2816MH/01 Fix for bug #448, segfault in Dovecot authenticator when interface_address
2817 is unset (happens when testing with -bh and -oMi isn't used). Thanks to
2818 Jan Srzednicki.
2819
b4ed4da0
PH
2820PH/01 Added a new log selector smtp_no_mail, to log SMTP sessions that do not
2821 issue a MAIL command.
2822
431b7361
PH
2823PH/02 In an ACL statement such as
2824
2825 deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
2826
2827 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2828 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2829 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
2830 The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second
2831 item. This has been fixed.
2832
2833PH/03 Added additional dnslists conditions == and =& which are different from
2834 = and & when the dns lookup returns more than one IP address.
2835
83da1223
PH
2836PH/04 Added gnutls_require_{kx,mac,protocols} to give more control over the
2837 cipher suites used by GnuTLS. These options are ignored by OpenSSL.
2838
54fc8428
PH
2839PH/05 After discussion on the list, added a compile time option ENABLE_DISABLE_
2840 FSYNC, which compiles an option called disable_fsync that allows for
2841 bypassing fsync(). The documentation is heavily laced with warnings.
2842
34c5e8dd
SC
2843SC/01 Updated eximstats to collate all SpamAssassin rejects into one bucket.

bbe15da8
PH
2845PH/06 Some tidies to the infrastructure of the Test Suite that is concerned
2846 with the auxiliary C programs that it uses: (1) Arrange for BIND_8_COMPAT
2847 to be defined when compiling on OSX (Darwin); (2) Tidies to the Makefile,
2848 including adding "make clean"; (3) Added -fPIC when compiling the test
2849 dynamically loaded module, to get rid of a warning.
2850
0e8a9471
MH
2851MH/02 Fix for bug #451, causing paniclog entries to be written if a bounce
2852 message fails, move_frozen_messages = true and ignore_bounce_errors_after
2853 = 0s. The bug is otherwise harmless.
2854
f0872424
PH
2855PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of
2856 $auth1 could be overwritten, and so not correctly preserved, after a
2857 successful authentication. This usually meant that the value preserved by
2858 the server_setid option was incorrect.
2859
b01dd148
PH
2860PH/08 Added $smtp_count_at_connection_start, deliberately with a long name.

6bf342e1
PH
2862PH/09 Installed PCRE release 7.0.
2863
273f34d0
PH
2864PH/10 The acl_not_smtp_start ACL was, contrary to the documentation, not being
2865 run for batched SMTP input. It is now run at the start of every message
2866 in the batch. While fixing this I discovered that the process information
2867 (output by running exiwhat) was not always getting set for -bs and -bS
2868 input. This is fixed, and it now also says "batched" for BSMTP.
2869
cf8b11a5
PH
2870PH/11 Added control=no_pipelining.
2871
41c7c167

2872PH/12 Added $sending_ip_address and $sending_port (mostly Magnus Holmgren's
2873 patch, slightly modified), and move the expansion of helo_data till after
2874 the connection is made in the smtp transport (so it can use these
2875 values).

2888 no_callout_flush is set.
2889
09945f1e
PH
2890PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when address_retry_include_sender
2891 was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete the retry
2892 item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is now
2893 fixed.
2894
c51b8e75
PH
2895PH/20 Added hosts_avoid_pipelining to the smtp transport.
2896
e28326d8 2897PH/21 Long custom messages for fakedefer and fakereject are now split up
4c04137d 2898 into multiline responses in the same way that messages for "deny" and
e28326d8
PH
2899 other ACL rejections are.
2900
75b1493f

2905 draft, changing the syntax and factoring some duplicate code".
2906
4311097e
PH
2907PH/24 When the log selector "outgoing_port" was set, the port was shown as -1
2908 for deliveries of the second and subsequent messages over the same SMTP
2909 connection.

PH
2911PH/25 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch for ${addresses, ${map, ${filter, and
2912 ${reduce, with only minor "tidies".

SC
2914SC/02 Applied Daniel Tiefnig's patch to improve the '($parent) =' pattern match.
2915
c3611384
PH
2916PH/26 Added a "continue" ACL modifier that does nothing, for the benefit of its
2917 expansion side effects.
2918
5a11a7b4
PH
2919PH/27 When a message times out after an over-quota error from an Exim-imposed
2920 quota, the bounce message says "mailbox is full". This message was not
2921 being given when it was a system quota that was exceeded. It now should
2922 be the same.
2923
0e20aff9
MH
2924MH/03 Made $recipients available in local_scan(). local_scan() already has
2925 better access to the recipient list through recipients_list[], but
2926 $recipients can be useful in postmaster-provided expansion strings.
2927
ca86f471
PH
2928PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct
2929 in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the
2930 address, for example: MAIL FROM:<foo@bar> SIZE=1234. The option settings
2931 were accidentally chopped off.
2932
a14e5636
PH
2933PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2934 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2935 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2936 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2937 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2938 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2939 pipelining has not been advertised.
2940
ec95d1a6
PH
2941PH/30 MH's patch to allow iscntrl() characters to be list separators.
2942
42855d71
PH
2943PH/31 Unlike :fail:, a custom message specified with :defer: was not being
2944 returned in the SMTP response when smtp_return_error_details was false.
2945 This has been fixed.
2946
57c2c631
PH
2947PH/32 Change the Dovecot authenticator to use read() and write() on the socket
2948 instead of the C I/O that was originally supplied, because problems were
2949 reported on Solaris.
2950
58c01c94
PH
2951PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
2952 Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
2953 SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
2954 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2955 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
2956 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
2957 error. Exim's code has been fixed.
2958
dee5a20a
PH
2959PH/34 Change HDA_SIZE in oracle.c from 256 to 512. This is needed for 64-bit
2960 cpus.

b2d5182b
PH
2964PH/36 Applied John Jetmore's patch to add -v functionality to exigrep.
2965
79749a79
PH
2966PH/37 If a message is not accepted after it has had an id assigned (e.g.
2967 because it turns out to be too big or there is a timeout) there is no
3ce62588
PH
2968 "Completed" line in the log. When some messages of this type were
2969 selected by exigrep, they were listed as "not completed". Others were
2970 picked up by some special patterns. I have improved the selection
2971 criteria to be more general.
79749a79 2972
c456d9bb
PH
2973PH/38 The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router can now be set
2974 to "ignore", to completely ignore a host whose IP address cannot be
2975 found. If all hosts are ignored, the behaviour is controlled by the new
2976 host_all_ignored option.
2977
cd9868ec
PH
2978PH/39 In a list of hosts for manualroute, if one item (either because of multi-
2979 homing or because of multiple MX records with /mx) generated more than
2980 one IP address, and the following item turned out to be the local host,
2981 all the secondary addresses of the first item were incorrectly removed
2982 from the list, along with the local host and any following hosts (which
2983 is what is supposed to happen).
2984
ebeaf996
PH
2985PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of
2986 whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was
2987 behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
2988 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
2989 calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
2990 uses the Exim user.
2991
2679d413
PH
2992PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a
2993 message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad
2994 sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
2995 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
2996 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
2997 intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their
2998 users.

3011
58eb016e 3012PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending
563b63fa
PH
3013 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
3014 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
3015 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
3016 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
3017 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
3018 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
3019 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 3020 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.
563b63fa
PH
3021 This could lead to message repetition. This fix should cure that, at
3022 least in a lot of common cases.

3028Exim version 4.66
3029-----------------
3030
3031PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
3032 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
3033
3034 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
3035 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
3036
3037 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
3038 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
3039 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
3040
3041 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
3042 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
3043 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
3044 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
3045 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

3059PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
3060 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
3061 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
3062 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
3063 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
3064 rather than extend the field.

3070TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
3071 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
3072 While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
3073 filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
3074 these files.

3076TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing

3080TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used

3087 in the field name.

PH
3089PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3090 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3091 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3092 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3093 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3094 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3095 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3096 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3097 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3098 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3099 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3133PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
3134 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
3135 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3136 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3137 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3138 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3139 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
3140 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 3143 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
3144 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3145 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3146 function.
3147 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3148 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3149 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3150 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3151 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3152 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3153 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3154 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3155 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3160PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
3161 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3162 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3163 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3164 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3165 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3166 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3167 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

3170 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

3172
322050c2
PH
3173PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3174 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3175 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3176 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3177 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3178 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3179 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3180 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3181 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3182 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3183 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3184 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3185 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
3187PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3188 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3189 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3190 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3191 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3192 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3193 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
3195PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3196 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3197 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3198 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3199 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3200 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3201 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3202 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3203 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3204 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

602e59e5
PH
3206PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3207 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3208 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3209 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3210 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

411ef850
PH
3212PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3213 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3214 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3215 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3216 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3217 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3218 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

PH
3220PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
3221 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
3222 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
3223 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3224 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3225 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3226 been verified.

PH
3257
3258PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3259 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3260 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3261 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3262 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3263 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3264 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3265 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3266 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3267
3268 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3269 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3270 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3271 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3272 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3273 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3274 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3275 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3276 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3277
3278 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3279 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3280 hammering the server.

3295PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
3296 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

3298 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3299 fails.
3300
48c7f9e2
PH
3301PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3302 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3303 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3304 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3305 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2

3306 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3307 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3308 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3309 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3310 smtp transport.

3581 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3582 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3583 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3584 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3585 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

3625 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3626 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3627 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3628 addresses as local.

3671 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

3706 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3707 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3708 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3709 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3710 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3711 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3712 values from the SRV records were lost.

3714PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

PH
3722PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3723 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3724 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3725 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3726 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3727 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3728 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3729 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3730 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3827PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3828 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3829 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3830 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3831 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3832 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3833 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3834 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3835 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3836 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3844PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
3845 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
3846 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
3847 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3848 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3849 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
3850 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
3851 the variable.

3871PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3872 used in LMTP mode:
3873
3874 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3875 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3876 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3877 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3878
3879 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3880 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3881 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3882
3883PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3884 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3885 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3886 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3887 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

3957PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3958 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3959 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3960 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3961 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3962 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3963 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3964 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3965 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3966 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3967 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3990
3991 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
3992 string.
3993
3994 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
3995 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
3996 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3997 silly things.
3998
3999 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
4000 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

4023PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
4024 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
4025 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
4026 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
4027 identical. For example:
4028
4029 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
4030
4031 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
4032 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
4033 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

PH
4066 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of

4070 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
4071
4072 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
4073
4074 The auto-replied keyword:
4075
4076 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
4077 message by an automatic process,
4078

4122PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated

4124 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
4125 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4126 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4127 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4128 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4129 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4130 the text comparison.

4247PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius

4249
4250 - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
4251 - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.

4253 The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17

4429 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
4c04137d 4430 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were

4437 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
4438 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4439 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4646 to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
4647
4648PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4649 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4650 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4651 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4652 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4653 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4654 file.
4655
4656PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4657 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4658 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4659 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4660 these two options.
4661
4662PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4663 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4664 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4665 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4666 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4667 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4668 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4669 address.

4670
4671PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T

4673
4674PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4675 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4676 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4677 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4678 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4679 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4680
4681PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
4682 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH

4731PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
4732 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
4733 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4734 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4735 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4736 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4737 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
4738 for failure.

4740PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing

4743 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4744 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
4745 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.

PH
4757PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4758 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4759 understands it better than I do:
4760
4761 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4762 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4763
4764 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4765 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4766 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4767 => three warnings about OTP not working
4768 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4769
4770 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4771 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4772 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4773 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4774 for each call.)
4775 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4776 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4777
4778 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4779 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4780 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

PH
4844PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4845 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4846 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4847 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4848 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4849 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4850 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4851
4852 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4853 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4854 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4855 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4856 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4857
4858 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4859 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4860 routed further.

4904 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4905 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4906 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4907 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4908 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4909 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

4919A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4920----------------------------------------
4921
4922Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4923changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4924needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4925in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4926that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4927release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4928from 4.43.
4929
4930I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
49314.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4932those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4933historical information.

4951 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4952 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4953 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4954 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4955 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

4960 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4961 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4962 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

5019 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5020 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5021
502225. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5023 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5024 wake it up if nothing else does.
5025
62c0818f
PH
502626. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5027 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5028 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5029 end up negative.
5030
26034054
PH
503127. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5032 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5033
af66f652
PH
503428. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
5035
90af77f4
PH
503629. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
5037 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
5038 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
5039 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
5040 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
5041 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
5042 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
5043 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
5044
d8ef3577
PH
504530. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
5046 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
5047 than one IP address.
5048
5cb8cbc6
PH
504931. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
5050 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
5051 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
5052 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
5053
14702f5b
PH
505432. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5055 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5056 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5057 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5058 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5059 1024 to 2048 bytes.
5060
063b1e99
PH
506133. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
5062 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
5063 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
5064 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
5065
652e1b65
PH
506634. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5067 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5068 respected.
5069
6f0c9a4f
PH
507035. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5071 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5072 $sender_host_address.
5073
33397d19
PH
507436. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
5075 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
5076 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
5077 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
5078 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
5079 very small.
5080
7bb56e1f
PH
508137. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
5082
5083 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
5084 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
5085
ea3bc19b
PH
5086 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
5087 just the host names, not the priorities.
5088
5089 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
5090 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
5091 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 5092
ea3bc19b 5093 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 5094 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 5095
0bcb2a0e
PH
509638. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
5097 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
5098 domain.
5099
2ac0e484
PH
510039. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
5101
4e1fde53
PH
510240. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
5103 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
5104
de365ded
PH
510541. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5106 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5107 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
5108
f05da2e8
PH
510942. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
5110
d6453af2
PH
511143. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
5112
f7b63901
PH
511344. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
5114
511545. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5116 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5117 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5118 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5119 because the tests only now provoked it.
5120
a444213a
PH
512146. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5122 (this can affect the format of dates).
5123
0ec020ea
PH
512447. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5125 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5126 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5127 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
5128
b1206957
PH
512948. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
5130
513149. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5132 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5133 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5134 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
5135
26dd5a95
PH
513650. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5137 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5138 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
5139
343b2385
PH
514051. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5141 autoreply.
5142
1c5466b9
PH
514352. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5144 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5145 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5146 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5147 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5148 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5149 is going on).
5150
55ee9ee3
PH
515153. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5152 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5153 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5154 the line.
5155
d38f8232
PH
515654. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5157 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5158 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5159
5160 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5161 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5162 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5163 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5164 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5165 so I produce this patch..."
5166
3295e65b
PH
5167 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5168 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5169 is not defined.
5170
7102e136
PH
517155. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5172 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
5173 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5174 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
ea3a6f44 5175 CAN-2005-0021

PH
517756. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.

c2bcbe20
PH
517957. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
5180 long debug lines gets shown.
5181
18ce445d
PH
518258. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
5183 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
5184
1f5b4c3d
PH
518559. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5186
5187 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5188 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5189 of $primary_hostname.
5190
b975ba52
PH
519160. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5192 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5193 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5194 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5195 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5196 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5197 by change 4.50/55 above.
5198
5199 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5200 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5201 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5202 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5203 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5204 running as the user.
ea3a6f44 5205 CAN-2005-0021

PH
5206
520761. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5208 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5209 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 5210 CAN-2005-0022

PH
521262. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
5213 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
5214
d95f9fdb
PH
521563. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5216 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5217 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5218 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5219 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5220
86b8287f
PH
522164. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5222 This has been fixed.
5223
60dc5e56
PH
522465. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5225 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5226 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5227 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5228 the caching.)
5229
533244af
PH
523066. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5231
a5a28604
PH
523267. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5233 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5234 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5235 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5236
7e634d24
PH
523768. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5238 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5239
3e11c26b
PH
524069. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5241 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5242 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5243
6729cf78
PH
524470. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5245 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5246 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5247 message there.
5248
00f00ca5
PH
524971. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5250 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5251 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5252
c9bdd01c
PH
525372. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5254 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5255 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5256 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5257
d43194df
PH
525873. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5259 during host lookups.
5260
fe5b5d0b
PH
526174. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5262 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5263
5264 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5265
76a2d7ba
PH
526675. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5267 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5268 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5269 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5270 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5271 background.
5272
527376. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5274 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5275
04f7d5b9
PH
527677. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5277 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5278 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5279
bc60667e
PH
528078. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5281
bb6e88ff
PH
528279. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5283 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5284 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5285 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5286 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5287 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5288 process earlier.
5289
1e70f85b
PH
529080. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5291 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5292 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5293 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5294 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5295
529681. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5297 tables).

5310----------------------------------------------------
5311See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5312----------------------------------------------------
5313
5314
5315Exim version 4.44
5316-----------------
5317
5318 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5319 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5320 transport
5321
5322 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5323 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5324 place.
5325
5326 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5327 filter fails to execute.
5328
5329 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5330 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5331 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5332 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5333 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5334
5335 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5336 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5337 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5338 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5339
5340 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5341 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5342 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5343 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5344 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5345
5346 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5347
5348 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5349 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5350 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5351 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5352
5353 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5354 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5355 sender verification.
5356
535710. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5358 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5359
536011. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5361 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5362
536312. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5364 ignore_target_hosts.
5365
536613. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5367 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5368 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5369 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5370 "[x.x.x.x]".
5371
537214. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5373 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5374 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5375
537615. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5377 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5378 wake it up if nothing else does.
5379
538016. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5381 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5382 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5383 end up negative.
5384
538517. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5386 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5387
ea3a6f44 538818. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5389
539019. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5391 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5392 empty pattern.
5393
539420. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5395 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5396 one IP address.
5397
ea3a6f44
NM
539821. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5399 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5400 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5401 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5402 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5403 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5404
ea3a6f44
NM
540522. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5406 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5407 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5408
540923. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5410 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5411 $sender_host_address.
5412
541324. Updated eximstats to version 1.33

541525. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5416 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5417 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.

542528. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5426 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5427 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5428 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.

543430. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5435 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5436 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5437 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.

544632. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5447 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5448 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5449 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5450 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5451 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5452 is going on).

545433. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5455 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5456 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5457 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

546034. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5461 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5462 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5463 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5464 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5465 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5466 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5467
5468 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5469 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5470 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5471 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5472 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5473 running as the user.

547635. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code

548136. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5482 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5483 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5484 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5485 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 5486

548737. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5488 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5489 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5490 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5491 the caching.)

5496 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare

5500Exim version 4.43
5501-----------------
5502
5503 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5504 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5505 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5506 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5507 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5508 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5509 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5510
5511 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5512 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5513 the delivery.
5514
5515 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5516
5517 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5518
5519 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5520 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5521 to local_scan().
5522
5523 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5524 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5525 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5526 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5527 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5528
5529 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5530 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5531
5532 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5533
5534 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5535
553610. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5537 header_sender only.
5538
553911. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5540 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5541
554212. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5543 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5544 affecting debugging statements).
5545
554613. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5547
554814. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5549 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5550 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5551 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5552 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5553 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5554 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5555 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5556 after the received time, and all would be well.
5557
555815. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5559 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5560 condition in an expansion string.
5561
556216. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5563
556417. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5565 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5566 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5567 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5568 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5569 job under whatever limits there are.
5570
557118. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5572
557319. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5574 space).
5575
557620. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5577 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5578 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5579 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5580 return path is set.
5581
558221. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5583 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5584 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5585 binary data in such strings.
5586
558722. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5588
558923. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5590 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5591 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5592 failure, which is pointless.
5593
559424. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5595
559625. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5597
559826. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5599 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5600 Sender: header lines.
5601
560227. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5603 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5604 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5605
560628. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5607 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5608 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5609 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5610 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5611 happens.
5612
561329. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5614 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5615 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5616 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5617 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5618
561930. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5620 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5621 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5622 1024.
5623
562431. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5625 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5626
562732. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5628 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5629
563033. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5631
563232. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5633
563433. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5635
563634. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5637 syntax error.
5638
563935. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5640
564136. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5642
564337. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5644 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5645 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5646 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5647
564838. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5649 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5650
5651
5652Exim version 4.42
5653-----------------
5654
5655 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5656 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5657 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5658 it was not quoted.
5659 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5660 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5661 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5662 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5663 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5664 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5665
5666 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5667 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5668 verification failure".
5669
5670 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5671 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5672 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5673 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5674
5675 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5676 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5677 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5678 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5679 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5680 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5681 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5682 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5683 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5684 treated as a timeout.
5685
5686 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5687 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5688 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5689 not set for Exim filters).
5690
5691 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5692 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5693 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5694
5695 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5696
5697 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5698 try to make them clearer.
5699
5700 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5701 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5702
5703 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5704
5705 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5706
570710. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5708 only the Cygwin environment.
5709
571011. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5711 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5712 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5713 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5714 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5715
571612. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5717 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5718 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5719 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5720 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5721 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5722 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5723
572413. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5725 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5726
572714. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5728
5729 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5730 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5731 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5732
5733 To: susanne@some.where
5734
5735 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5736 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5737 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5738 of addresses in From: header lines).
5739
5740 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5741 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5742 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5743
5744 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5745 treated as non-personal.
5746
5747 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5748 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5749
575015. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5751
575216. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5753
575417. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5755 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5756 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5757
575818. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5759 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5760
576119. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5762 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5763 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5764 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5765 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5766 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5767
576820. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5769 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5770 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5771 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5772 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5773 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5774 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5775 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5776
5777 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5778
577921. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5780 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5781
578222. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5783 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5784 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5785
578623. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5787 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5788
578924. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5790 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5791 rather than long int.
5792
579325. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5794
579526. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5796
5797
5798Exim version 4.41
5799-----------------
5800
5801 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5802 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5803 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5804 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5805 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5806 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5807
5808
5809Exim version 4.40
5810-----------------
5811
5812 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5813 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5814
5815 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5816 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5817 socklen_t is defined.
5818
5819 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5820 always exist.
5821
5822 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5823 configured.
5824
5825 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5826 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5827 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5828 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5829 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5830
5831 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5832 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5833 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5834 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5835
5836 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5837 of flapping under certain conditions.
5838
5839 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5840 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5841 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5842
5843 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5844
584510. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5846
584711. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5848 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5849 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5850 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5851
585212. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5853 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5854 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5855 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5856 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5857 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5858 preserved with the message after it was received.
5859
586013. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5861 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5862 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5863 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5864 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5865 test suite worked just fine.
5866
586714. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5868 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5869 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5870
587115. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5872 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5873 string.
5874
587516. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5876 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5877 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5878 does not fully solve it.
5879
588017. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5881 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5882 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5883 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5884 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5885
588618. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5887 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5888 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5889
589019. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5891 string, for example:
5892
5893 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5894
5895 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5896 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5897 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5898 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5899 the routers could not see them.
5900
590120. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5902 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5903
590421. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5905 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5906 output).
5907
590822. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5909 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5910 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5911 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5912 that needed quoting.
5913
591423. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5915 was not being matched caselessly.
5916
591724. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5918 backslashes.
5919
592025. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5921 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5922 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5923 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5924 when use_sender is false.
5925
592626. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5927
592827. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5929
593028. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5931
593229. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5933 the configuration file.
5934
593530. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5936 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5937
593831. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5939
594032. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5941 bytes in the message body.
5942
594333. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5944 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5945 delivery.
5946
594734. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5948
594935. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5950
595136. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5952 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5953 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5954 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5955 another IP address.
5956
5957
5958Exim version 4.34
5959-----------------
5960
5961 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5962 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5963
5964 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5965 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5966 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5967 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5968 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5969
5970 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5971 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5972
5973 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5974 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5975 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5976
5977 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5978 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5979 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5980
5981 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5982 for routers.
5983
5984 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5985 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5986 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5987 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5988 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5989 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5990 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5991
5992
5993Exim version 4.33
5994-----------------
5995
5996 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5997 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5998 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5999 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
6000 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
6001 default (and expected) setting.
6002
6003 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
6004 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
6005 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
6006 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
6007
6008 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
6009 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
6010
6011 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
6012 in domain lists.
6013
6014 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
6015 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
6016 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
6017 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
6018 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
6019 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
6020
6021 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
6022 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
6023 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
6024
6025 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
6026 part (NOT match_host).
6027
6028 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
6029
6030 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
6031 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
6032 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
6033 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
6034 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
6035 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
6036 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
6037 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
6038 the same named file.
6039
604010. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
6041 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
6042 when Exim is built.
6043
604411. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
6045 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
6046 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
6047 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
6048 a host name.
6049
605012. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
6051 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
6052 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
6053
605413. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
6055
605614. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
6057
605815. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
6059
606016. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
6061 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
6062
606317. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
6064 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
6065 before starting the TLS session.
6066
606718. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
6068
606919. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
6070 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
6071
607220. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
6073 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
6074 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
6075 colon in the middle).
6076
6077
6078Exim version 4.32
6079-----------------
6080
6081 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
6082 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
6083 multiple configurations are in use.
6084
6085 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
6086 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6087 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6088 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6089 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6090 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6091
6092 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6093 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6094
6095 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6096 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6097 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6098
6099 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6100 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6101 occurs.
6102
6103 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6104 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6105
6106 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6107
6108 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6109 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6110
6111 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6112
6113 -prval:sval
6114
6115 is equivalent to
6116
6117 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6118
6119 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6120 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6121 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6122 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6123 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6124
612510. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6126 Exim's behaviour:
6127
6128 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6129 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6130 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6131 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6132 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6133 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6134
6135 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6136 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6137 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6138 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6139 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6140 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6141 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6142 string.
6143
6144 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6145 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6146 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6147 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6148 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6149
615011. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6151
615212. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6153 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6154 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6155
615613. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6157
615814. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6159 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6160 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6161 information.
6162
616315. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6164 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6165
616616. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6167 Three changes have been made:
6168
6169 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6170 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6171 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6172 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6173 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6174
6175 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6176 been restored.
6177
6178 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6179 the modified behaviour.
6180
6181
6182Exim version 4.31
6183-----------------
6184
6185 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6186 Larry Rosenman.
6187
6188 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6189 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6190
6191 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6192 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6193 try to track down a specific problem.
6194
6195 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6196 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6197 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6198
6199 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6200 warning.
6201
6202 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6203 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6204 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6205 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6206 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6207 some earlier ones do not.
6208
6209 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6210
6211 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6212 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6213 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6214 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6215 address literals are enabled, of course).
6216
6217 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6218
621910. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6220 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6221 by a command such as
6222
6223 exim -f "" ...
6224
6225 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6226
622711. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6228
622912. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6230 remained set. It is now erased.
6231
623213. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6233 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6234
623514. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6236 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6237 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6238 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6239 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6240 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6241 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6242 appropriate error code.
6243
624415. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6245 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6246 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6247 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6248 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6249 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6250
625116. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6252 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6253 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6254
625517. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6256 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6257 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6258 terminate the header.
6259
626018. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6261 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6262 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6263
626419. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6265 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6266 (4.30/29). In particular:
6267
6268 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6269 imposed.
6270
6271 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6272 to write a maildirsize file.
6273
6274 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6275 the transport, the new value overrides.
6276
6277 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6278 count.
6279
628020. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6281 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6282 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6283 space or a tab.
6284
628521. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6286 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6287 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6288 the fallback hosts.
6289
629022. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6291 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6292 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6293
629423. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6295 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6296 using a union.
6297
629824. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6299 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6300 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6301
630225. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6303
630426. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6305
630627. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6307
630828. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6309 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6310 become corrupted.
6311
631229. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6313 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6314 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6315 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6316 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6317 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6318 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6319 too great.
6320
632130. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6322 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6323 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6324 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6325 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6326 incorrectly.
6327
632831. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6329 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6330 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6331 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6332 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6333 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6334 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6335 cached value only when the same options are set.
6336
633732. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6338
633933. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6340 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6341 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6342 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6343 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6344
634534: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6346 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6347 it is clearly obsolete.
6348
634935. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6350 transport.
6351
635236. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6353 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6354 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6355 times.
6356
635737. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6358 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6359 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6360 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6361 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6362
636338. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6364 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6365 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6366 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6367
636839. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6369
6370 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6371
6372 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6373 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6374 2^31.
6375
637640. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6377 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6378 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6379 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6380 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6381 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6382 $localpart_data.
6383
638441. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6385 with the -f command-line option.
6386
638742. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6388 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6389 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6390 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6391 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6392 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6393
639443. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6395 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6396 line.
6397
639844. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6399 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6400 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6401 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6402 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6403 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6404 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6405 buffer is too small.
6406
640745. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6408 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6409
641046. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6411 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6412 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6413 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6414 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6415 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6416 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6417 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6418 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6419
642047. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6421 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6422 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6423
642448. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6425 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6426 ACL").
6427
642849. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6429 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6430 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6431 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6432 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6433
643450. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6435 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6436 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6437 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6438 is set.
6439
644051. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6441
644252. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6443
644453. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6445 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6446
644754. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6448 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6449 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6450
645155. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6452 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6453 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6454 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6455 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6456
645756. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6458 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6459 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6460 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6461 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6462 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6463 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6464
646557. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6466 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6467 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6468 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6469 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6470 the test of how many are available.
6471
647258. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6473 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6474 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6475 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6476 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6477 new message is started.
6478
647959. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6480 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6481
648260. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6483 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6484
648561. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6486 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6487 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6488 is no long logged.
6489
649062. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6491 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6492 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6493 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6494 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6495 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6496 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6497
649863. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6499 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6500 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6501 interpreted as octal.
6502
650364. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6504 setting.
6505
650665. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6507 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6508 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6509 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6510 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6511 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6512
651366. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6514 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6515 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6516 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6517
6518 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6519 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6520 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6521 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6522
6523 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6524 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6525 is a bug fix.
6526
6527 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6528 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6529
653067. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6531
653268. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6533 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6534 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6535 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6536
653769. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6538 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6539 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6540 supplied", which is not helpful.
6541
654270. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6543 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6544 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6545
654671. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6547 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6548 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6549 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6550 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6551 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6552 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6553 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6554
655572. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6556 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6557 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6558 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6559 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6560
656173. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6562 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6563 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6564 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6565 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6566 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6567
656874. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6569 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6570 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6571
657275. Added write_rejectlog option.
6573
657476. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6575 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6576 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6577 variables.
6578
657977. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6580
658178. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6582 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6583 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6584 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6585 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6586 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6587 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6588 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6589
659079. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6591 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6592 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6593 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6594 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6595
659680. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6597 Haardt.
6598
659981. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6600 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6601 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6602 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6603 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6604 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6605 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6606 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6607 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6608
6609
6610Exim version 4.30
6611-----------------
6612
6613 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6614 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6615 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6616
6617 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6618 fixed.
6619
6620 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6621 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6622 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6623
6624 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6625 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6626 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6627 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6628 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6629 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6630
6631 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6632 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6633 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6634 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6635 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6636 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6637 the Exim test suite.
6638
6639 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6640 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6641 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6642 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6643
6644 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6645 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6646 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6647 specify it in this variable.
6648
6649 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6650 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6651 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6652 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6653
6654 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6655 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6656 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6657 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6658
6659 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6660 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6661 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6662 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6663 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6664
6665 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6666
666710. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6668 they are logged.
6669
667011. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6671 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6672 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6673 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6674 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6675
667612. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6677 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6678
667913. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6680 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6681 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6682 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6683 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6684
668514. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6686 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6687
668815. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6689 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6690 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6691
669216. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6693 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6694
669517. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6696 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6697
669818. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6699 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6700 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6701
670219. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6703 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6704
670520. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6706 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6707 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6708 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6709
671021. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6711
671222. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6713 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6714 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6715 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6716
671723. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6718
671924. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6720 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6721
672225. Added .include_if_exists.
6723
672426. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6725 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6726 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6727 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6728 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6729 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6730
673127. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6732
673328. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6734 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6735 this.
6736
673729. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6738
673930. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6740 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6741
6742 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6743 550 Sender verify failed
6744
6745 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6746 the final line of the response.
6747
674831. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6749 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6750 all other user lookups.
6751
675232. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6753 delivery time.
6754
675533. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6756 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6757 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6758 result into an int without checking.
6759
676034. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6761 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6762 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6763
676435. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6765 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6766 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6767 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6768
676936. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6770 correctly.
6771
677237. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6773 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6774
677538. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6776 to the empty sender.
6777
677839. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6779 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6780 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6781 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6782 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6783 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6784 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6785 panic log.
6786
678740. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6788 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6789 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6790 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6791 used.
6792
679341. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6794 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6795
679642. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6797 timestamps.
6798
679943. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6800 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6801
680244. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6803
680445. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6805 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6806 logs.
6807
680846. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6809 as soon as it is encountered.
6810
681147. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6812
681348. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6814 rewritten to "<>".
6815
681649. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6817 recognizes a tab character.
6818
681950. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6820 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6821 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6822 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6823
682451. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6825
682652. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6827 crash.
6828
682953. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6830
683154. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6832
683355. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6834 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6835 2822.
6836
683756. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6838 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6839 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6840 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6841 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6842
684357. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6844 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6845
684658. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6847 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6848 list (.included file names were always shown).
6849
685059. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6851 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6852 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6853 root at that time.
6854
685560. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6856 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6857
685861. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6859
686062. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6861
686263. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6863
686464. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6865 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6866 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6867 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6868 failures to open the logs.
6869
687065. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6871 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6872 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6873 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6874 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6875 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6876 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6877
6878
6879Exim version 4.24
6880-----------------
6881
6882 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6883 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6884 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6885 change 4.23/1.
6886
6887 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6888 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6889 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6890
6891 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6892 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6893 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6894
6895 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6896 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6897 causing some misleading effects.
6898
6899 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6900 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6901 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6902
6903 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6904 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6905 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6906 queue-runner function directly.
6907
6908
6909Exim version 4.23
6910-----------------
6911
6912 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6913 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6914
6915 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6916 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6917 was always written to the default place.
6918
6919 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6920 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6921 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6922
6923 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6924
6925 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6926
6927 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6928 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6929 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6930
6931 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6932 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6933 must start.
6934
6935 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6936 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6937 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6938
6939 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6940 command line option is disabled.
6941
6942 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6943 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6944
6945 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6946
6947 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6948
6949 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6950 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6951
695210. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6953
695411. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6955 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6956 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6957 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6958 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6959 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6960
696112. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6962 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6963 timeout.
6964
696513. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6966 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6967
696814. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6969 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6970
697115. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6972 received was valid base64.
6973
697416. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6975 name of the variable that was being set.
6976
697717. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6978
697918. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6980 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6981 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6982 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6983 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6984 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6985
698619. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6987
698820. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6989 nor realm was specified.
6990
699121. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6992 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6993 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6994 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6995
699622. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6997 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6998 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6999
700023. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
7001 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
7002 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
7003
700424. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
7005 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
7006 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
7007 some systems use these upper case variants.
7008
700925. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
7010 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
7011 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
7012 socket" when it tried to send the third.
7013
701426. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
7015
701627. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
7017 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
7018
701928. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
7020 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
7021 expansion variable.
7022
702329. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
7024
702530. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
7026 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
7027 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
7028 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
7029
703031. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
7031 using it.
7032
703332. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
7034 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
7035 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
7036
703733. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
7038 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
7039
704034. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
7041 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
7042 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
7043 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
7044
704535. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
7046 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
7047 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
7048
704936. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
7050
705137. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
7052 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
7053 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
7054 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
7055 aborted.
7056
705738. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
7058 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
7059 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
7060
706139. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
7062
706340. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
7064 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
7065
706641. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
7067 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
7068
706942. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
7070 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
7071 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
7072 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
7073 when emails are that large.
7074
7075
7076
7077Exim version 4.22
7078-----------------
7079
7080 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
7081 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
7082
7083 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
7084 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
7085 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
7086
7087 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7088 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7089 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7090
7091 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7092 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7093 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7094 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7095 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7096
7097 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7098 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7099 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7100 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7101 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7102 ever.
7103
7104 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7105 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7106 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7107 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7108 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7109 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7110 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7111 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7112 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7113 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7114 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7115 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7116 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7117 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7118
7119 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7120 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7121 parameterised it.
7122
7123 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7124 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7125 error should be diagnosed.
7126
7127 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7128 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7129 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7130 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7131 appeared instead of "NULL".
7132
713310. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7134 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7135 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7136 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7137 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7138 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7139 proceeds).
7140
7141 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7142 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7143 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7144
7145
7146Exim version 4.21
7147-----------------
7148
7149 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7150 or receiver verification errors.
7151
7152 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7153 name.
7154
7155 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7156 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7157 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7158 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7159
7160 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7161 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7162 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7163 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7164 shouldn't happen again.
7165
7166 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7167 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7168 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7169
7170 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7171 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7172
7173 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7174
7175 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7176 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7177
7178 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7179 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7180 RFC.
7181
718210. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7183 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7184 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7185
718611. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7187 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7188 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7189 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7190
719112. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7192 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7193 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7194 to define what should happen).
7195
719613. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7197 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7198 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7199
720014. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7201
720215. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7203
720416. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7205 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7206
4c04137d 720717. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7208 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7209 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7210 structure in all cases.
7211
7212 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7213 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7214 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7215 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7216
721718. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7218 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7219 domain name.
7220
722119. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7222 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7223
722420. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7225 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7226
722721. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7228 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7229 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7230
723122. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7232 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7233 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7234
723523. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7236 the book and for uniformity.
7237
723824. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7239
724025. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7241 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7242 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7243 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7244 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7245 non-existent command as the problem.
7246
724726. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7248 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7249 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7250
725127. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7252
725328. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7254 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7255 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7256
725729. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7258 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7259 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7260 timestamps using strftime().
7261
726230. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7263 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7264
726532. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7266 transport-time rewrites.
7267
726833. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7269 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7270 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7271 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7272
727334. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7274 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7275
727635. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7277 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7278 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7279 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7280 comma and a space.
7281
728236. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7283 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7284 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7285 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7286 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7287 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7288 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7289
729037. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7291 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7292 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7293 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7294 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7295
729638. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7297 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7298 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7299 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7300 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7301 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7302 remaining text gets split now.
7303
730439. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7305 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7306 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7307 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7308
730940. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7310 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7311 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7312 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7313 $return_path.
7314
731541. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7316 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7317 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7318 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7319 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7320 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7321 passed through if needed.
7322
732342. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7324 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7325 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7326 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7327 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7328 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7329
733043. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7331 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7332 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7333 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7334 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7335
733644. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7337 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7338 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7339 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7340 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7341
734245. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7343 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7344 noticed.
7345
734646. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7347 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7348 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7349 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7350 mayhem of various kinds.
7351
735247. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7353 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7354 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7355 the right test for positive values.
7356
735748. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7358 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7359 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7360 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7361 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7362 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7363 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7364 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7365 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7366 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7367 envelope.
7368
736949. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7370 module.
7371
737250. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7373 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7374 forbidding it.
7375
737651. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7377 the existing equality matching.
7378
737952. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7380 dealing with inode numbers.
7381
738253. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7383 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7384 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7385
738654. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7387 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7388 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7389 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7390 local_scan().
7391
739255. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7393 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7394 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7395 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7396 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7397 relay addresses has also been removed.
7398
739956. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7400
740157. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7402 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7403 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7404
740558. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7406 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7407 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7408 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7409 processing applies to CR:
7410
7411 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7412 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7413
7414 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7415 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7416 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7417 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7418
741959. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7420 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7421 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7422
742360. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7424 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7425 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7426 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7427 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7428 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7429 arisen.
7430
743161. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7432 program routers.
7433
743462. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7435 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7436 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7437 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7438 adds:
7439
7440 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7441
7442 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7443
7444 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7445
744663. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7447 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7448 not considered personal.
7449
745064. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7451
745265. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7453
745466. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7455
745667. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7457 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7458 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7459 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7460 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7461 header lines, and spool format errors.
7462
746368. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7464 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7465 for more flexibility.
7466
746769. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7468 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7469 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7470
747170. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7472 Sabourenkov.
7473
747471. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7475 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7476 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7477 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7478 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7479 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7480 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7481 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7482 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7483
748472. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7485 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7486 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7487 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7488 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7489 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7490 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7491
749273. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7493 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7494 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7495
749674. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7497 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7498 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7499 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7500 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7501 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7502 instead of killing the process with assert().
7503
750475. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7505 than Unicode encoding.
7506
750776. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7508 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7509 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7510 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7511
751277. Added process_log_path.
7513
751478. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7515 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7516
751779. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7518 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7519
752080. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7521 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7522 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7523
752481. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7525 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7526 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7527 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7528 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7529 were applied:
7530
7531 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7532 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7533 as invalid.
7534
753582. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7536 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7537 they will be used during message reception.
7538
7539
