f3d11401 JH |
5 | Exim version 4.86 |
6 | ----------------- | |
7 | JH/01 Bug 1545: The smtp transport option "retry_include_ip_address" is now | |
8 | expanded. | |
9 | ||
2d75eab6 JH |
10 | JH/02 The smtp transport option "multi_domain" is now expanded. |
11 | ||
27df4b34 JH |
12 | JH/03 The smtp transport now requests PRDR by default, if the server offers |
13 | it. | |
14 | ||
44383db4 JH |
15 | JH/04 Certificate name checking on server certificates, when exim is a client, |
16 | is now done by default. The transport option tls_verify_cert_hostname | |
17 | can be used to disable this per-host. The build option | |
18 | EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES is withdrawn. | |
19 | ||
8c408560 | 20 | JH/05 The value of the tls_verify_certificates smtp transport and main options |
31a4354e | 21 | default to the word "system" to access the system default CA bundle. |
8c408560 JH |
22 | For GnuTLS, only version 3.0.20 or later. |
23 | ||
0509be35 | 24 | JH/06 Verification of the server certificate for a TLS connection is now tried |
cdeb6856 JH |
25 | (but not required) by default. The verification status is now logged by |
26 | default, for both outbound TLS and client-certificate supplying inbound | |
27 | TLS connections | |
0509be35 | 28 | |
ac803d82 JH |
29 | JH/07 Changed the default rfc1413 lookup settings to disable calls. Few |
30 | sites use this now. | |
31 | ||
cc5a3f43 WB |
32 | JH/08 The EXPERIMENTAL_DSN compile option is no longer needed; all Delivery |
33 | Status Notification (bounce) messages are now MIME format per RFC 3464. | |
34 | Support for RFC 3461 DSN options NOTIFY,ENVID,RET,ORCPT can be advertised | |
35 | under the control of the dsn_advertise_hosts option, and routers may | |
36 | have a dsn_lasthop option. | |
37 | ||
0e42da1b JH |
38 | JH/09 A timeout of 2 minutes is now applied to all malware scanner types by |
39 | default, modifiable by a malware= option. The list separator for | |
40 | the options can now be changed in the usual way. | |
9439f85e | 41 | |
a466d09b JH |
42 | JH/10 The smtp_receive_timeout main option is now expanded before use. |

e449c3b0 TL |
46 | Exim version 4.85 |
47 | ----------------- | |
48 | TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as | |
49 | no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific | |
50 | test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near | |
51 | the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl | |
52 | script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these | |
53 | variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through | |
54 | the script parsing/test process like normal. | |
55 | ||
ac20058f TL |
56 | TL/02 The BSD's have an arc4random API. One of the functions to induce |
57 | adding randomness was arc4random_stir(), but it has been removed in | |
58 | OpenBSD 5.5. Detect this OpenBSD version and skip calling this | |
59 | function when detected. | |
60 | ||
a9b8ec8b JH |
61 | JH/01 Expand the EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA feature. Several different events now |
62 | cause callback expansion. | |
63 | ||
6286d7c4 TL |
64 | TL/03 Bugzilla 1518: Clarify "condition" processing in routers; that |
65 | syntax errors in an expansion can be treated as a string instead of | |
66 | logging or causing an error, due to the internal use of bool_lax | |
67 | instead of bool when processing it. | |
68 | ||
0f06b4f2 | 69 | JH/02 Add EXPERIMENTAL_DANE, allowing for using the DNS as trust-anchor for |
d567a64d JH |
70 | server certificates when making smtp deliveries. |
71 | ||
be36e572 JH |
72 | JH/03 Support secondary-separator specifier for MX, SRV, TLSA lookups. |
73 | ||
ac4ef9bd JH |
74 | JH/04 Add ${sort {list}{condition}{extractor}} expansion item. |
75 | ||
0eb51736 TL |
76 | TL/04 Bugzilla 1216: Add -M (related messages) option to exigrep. |
77 | ||
c713ca4b TL |
78 | TL/05 GitHub Issue 18: Adjust logic testing for true/false in redis lookups. |
79 | Merged patch from Sebastian Wiedenroth. | |
e449c3b0 | 80 | |
bd21a787 WB |
81 | JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process. Several recipients, combined |
82 | with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split | |
83 | over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly. This eventually | |
84 | resulted in duplicates being sent. This issue only became common enough | |
85 | to notice due to the introduction of conection certificate information, | |
86 | the item size being so much larger. Found and fixed by Wolfgang Breyha. | |
87 | ||
8bc732e8 JH |
88 | JH/06 Bug 1533: Fix truncation of items in headers_remove lists. A fixed |
89 | size buffer was used, resulting in syntax errors when an expansion | |
90 | exceeded it. | |
91 | ||
a7fec7a7 JH |
92 | JH/07 Add support for directories of certificates when compiled with a GnuTLS |
93 | version 3.3.6 or later. | |
94 | ||
774ef2d7 JH |
95 | JH/08 Rename the TPDA expermimental facility to Event Actions. The #ifdef |
96 | is EXPERIMENTAL_EVENT, the main-configuration and transport options | |
97 | both become "event_action", the variables become $event_name, $event_data | |
aec45841 | 98 | and $event_defer_errno. There is a new variable $verify_mode, usable in |
723fe533 JH |
99 | routers, transports and related events. The tls:cert event is now also |
100 | raised for inbound connections, if the main configuration event_action | |
101 | option is defined. | |
774ef2d7 | 102 | |
eca4debb TL |
103 | TL/06 In test suite, disable OCSP for old versions of openssl which contained |
104 | early OCSP support, but no stapling (appears to be less than 1.0.0). | |
105 | ||
8d692470 JH |
106 | JH/09 When compiled with OpenSSL and EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES, the checks on |
107 | server certificate names available under the smtp transport option | |
108 | "tls_verify_cert_hostname" now do not permit multi-component wildcard | |
109 | matches. | |
110 | ||
e9477a08 JH |
111 | JH/10 Time-related extraction expansions from certificates now use the main |
112 | option "timezone" setting for output formatting, and are consistent | |
113 | between OpenSSL and GnuTLS compilations. Bug 1541. | |
114 | ||
8dea5edf JH |
115 | JH/11 Fix a crash in mime ACL when meeting a zero-length parameter in the |
116 | incoming message. | |
117 | ||
118 | JH/12 Bug 1527: Autogrow buffer used in reading spool files. Since they now | |
119 | include certificate info, eximon was claiming there were spoolfile | |
120 | syntax errors. | |
121 | ||
122 | JH/13 Buf 1521: Fix ldap lookup for single-attr request, multiple-attr return. | |
123 | ||
124 | JH/14 Log delivery-related information more consistently, using the sequence | |
125 | "H=<name> [<ip>]" wherever possible. | |
126 | ||
8bc732e8 | 127 | |
1f0ebb98 TL |
128 | Exim version 4.84 |
129 | ----------------- | |
09728d20 TL |
130 | TL/01 Bugzilla 1506: Re-add a 'return NULL' to silence complaints from static |
131 | checkers that were complaining about end of non-void function with no | |
132 | return. | |
1f0ebb98 | 133 | |
a612424f JH |
134 | JH/01 Bug 1513: Fix parsing of quoted parameter values in MIME headers. |
135 | This was a regression intruduced in 4.83 by another bugfix. | |
136 | ||
137 | JH/02 Fix broken compilation when EXPERIMENTAL_DSN is enabled. | |
138 | ||
139 | TL/02 Bug 1509: Fix exipick for enhanced spoolfile specification used when | |
a9b8ec8b | 140 | EXPERIMENTAL_DSN is enabled. Fix from Wolfgang Breyha. |
a612424f | 141 | |

c0e56233 TF |
143 | Exim version 4.83 |
144 | ----------------- | |
145 | ||
146 | TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery. | |
147 | ||
148 | When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up | |
149 | the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to | |
150 | deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing | |
151 | delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming | |
152 | connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging | |
153 | a "Bad file descriptor" error. | |
154 | ||
7245734e TF |
155 | TF/02 Portability fix for building lookup modules on Solaris when the xpg4 |
156 | utilities have not been installed. | |
157 | ||
fd5dad68 JH |
158 | JH/01 Fix memory-handling in use of acl as a conditional; avoid free of |
159 | temporary space as the ACL may create new global variables. | |
160 | ||
5428a946 TL |
161 | TL/01 LDAP support uses per connection or global context settings, depending |
162 | upon the detected version of the libraries at build time. | |
163 | ||
a3c86431 TL |
164 | TL/02 Experimental Proxy Protocol support: allows a proxied SMTP connection |
165 | to extract and use the src ip:port in logging and expansions as if it | |
8ded8589 TL |
166 | were a direct connection from the outside internet. PPv2 support was |
167 | updated based on HAProxy spec change in May 2014. | |
a3c86431 | 168 | |
aa26e137 JH |
169 | JH/02 Add ${listextract {number}{list}{success}{fail}}. |
170 | ||
5a1b8443 WB |
171 | TL/03 Bugzilla 1433: Fix DMARC SEGV with specific From header contents. |
172 | Properly escape header and check for NULL return. | |
173 | ||
72c9e342 PP |
174 | PP/01 Continue incomplete 4.82 PP/19 by fixing docs too: use dns_dnssec_ok |
175 | not dns_use_dnssec. | |
176 | ||
76f44207 WB |
177 | JH/03 Bugzilla 1157: support log_selector smtp_confirmation for lmtp. |
178 | ||
770747fd MFM |
179 | TL/04 Add verify = header_names_ascii check to reject email with non-ASCII |
180 | characters in header names, implemented as a verify condition. | |
181 | Contributed by Michael Fischer v. Mollard. | |
182 | ||
8ddef691 | 183 | TL/05 Rename SPF condition results err_perm and err_temp to standardized |
982650ec TL |
184 | results permerror and temperror. Previous values are deprecated but |
185 | still accepted. In a future release, err_perm and err_temp will be | |
186 | completely removed, which will be a backward incompatibility if the | |
187 | ACL tests for either of these two old results. Patch contributed by | |
8ddef691 | 188 | user bes-internal on the mailing list. |
c0e56233 | 189 | |
b9c2e32f AR |
190 | JH/04 Add ${utf8clean:} operator. Contributed by Alex Rau. |
191 | ||
e45a1c37 JH |
192 | JH/05 Bugzilla 305: Log incoming-TLS details on rejects, subject to log |
193 | selectors, in both main and reject logs. | |
194 | ||
67d81c10 JH |
195 | JH/06 Log outbound-TLS and port details, subject to log selectors, for a |
196 | failed delivery. | |
197 | ||
b1f8e4f8 JH |
198 | JH/07 Add malware type "sock" for talking to simple daemon. |

511a6c14 JH |
201 | |
202 | JH/09 Bugzilla 1431: Support (with limitations) headers_add/headers_remove in | |
203 | routers/transports under cutthrough routing. | |
214042d2 | 204 | |
51c7471d JH |
205 | JH/10 Bugzilla 1005: ACL "condition =" should accept values which are negative |

209 | ||
1e06383a TL |
210 | JH/11 Add dnsdb tlsa lookup. From Todd Lyons. |
211 | ||
76146973 JH |
212 | JH/12 Expand items in router/transport headers_add or headers_remove lists |
213 | individually rather than the list as a whole. Bug 1452. | |
214 | ||
215 | Required for reasonable handling of multiple headers_ options when | |
216 | they may be empty; requires that headers_remove items with embedded | |
217 | colons must have them doubled (or the list-separator changed). | |
218 | ||
8c8b8274 TL |
219 | TL/07 Add new dmarc expansion variable $dmarc_domain_policy to directly |
220 | view the policy declared in the DMARC record. Currently, $dmarc_status | |
221 | is a combined value of both the record presence and the result of the | |
222 | analysis. | |
b1f8e4f8 | 223 | |
35aba663 JH |
224 | JH/13 Fix handling of $tls_cipher et.al. in (non-verify) transport. Bug 1455. |

fd3b6a4a | 234 | JH/18 New options dnssec_lax, dnssec_strict on dnsdb lookups. |
4e0983dc | 235 | New variable $lookup_dnssec_authenticated for observability. |
fd3b6a4a | 236 | |
8d91c6dc LT |
237 | TL/09 Bugzilla 609: Add -C option to exiqgrep, specify which exim.conf to use. |
238 | Patch submitted by Lars Timman. | |

9d1c15ef JH |
246 | JH/20 New expansion variables tls_(in,out)_(our,peer)cert, and expansion item |
247 | certextract with support for various fields. Bug 1358. | |
248 | ||
44662487 JH |
249 | JH/21 Observability of OCSP via variables tls_(in,out)_ocsp. Stapling |
250 | is requested by default, modifiable by smtp transport option | |
6a8a60e0 JH |
251 | hosts_request_ocsp. |
252 | ||
ed3bba5f | 253 | JH/22 Expansion operators ${md5:string} and ${sha1:string} can now |
6a8a60e0 | 254 | operate on certificate variables to give certificate fingerprints |
9ef9101c | 255 | Also new ${sha256:cert_variable}. |

67bd1ab3 TF |
399 | TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients. |
400 | ||
401 | When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the | |
402 | recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry | |
403 | hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to | |
404 | any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using | |
405 | the retry rules. | |
406 | ||
407 | So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly | |
408 | deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the | |
409 | address never reaches the final cutoff time. | |
410 | ||
411 | This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against | |
412 | their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code | |
413 | to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers | |
414 | in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store. | |
415 | ||
1ddeb334 TF |
416 | This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the |
417 | final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do | |
418 | this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a | |
419 | domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle | |
420 | the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use | |
421 | this as an approximation for the destination being like a local | |
422 | delivery, as in LMTP. | |
67bd1ab3 TF |
423 | |
424 | I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check | |
425 | redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place. | |

428 | ||
429 | Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header | |
430 | ||
431 | Resent-From: f | |
432 | ||
433 | When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded | |
434 | the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added | |
435 | a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the | |
436 | username as equal to the username. | |

460 | Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH. | |
461 | Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new | |
462 | config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server | |
463 | advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new | |
464 | acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after | |
465 | the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL. | |
466 | The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option | |
467 | on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement. | |
468 | Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving | |
469 | PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR". | |

747 | TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might |
748 | lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it | |
749 | got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat. | |
750 | ||
751 | The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process | |
752 | log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general | |
753 | purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are | |
754 | not safe for signals. | |
755 | ||
756 | The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process | |
757 | log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety. | |
758 | Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code. | |
759 | Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies | |
760 | exiwhat. | |
761 | ||
c99ce5c9 TF |
762 | TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition. |
763 | ||
764 | The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which | |
765 | has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes | |
766 | are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the | |
767 | database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This | |
768 | means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.) | |
769 | ||
770 | Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that | |
771 | makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a | |
772 | message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify | |
773 | per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you | |
774 | must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to | |
775 | /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required. | |
776 | ||
777 | The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for | |
778 | backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in | |
779 | ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or | |
780 | /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly. | |
781 | ||
782 | A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization | |
783 | of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other | |
784 | aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent | |
785 | to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }. | |
786 | ||
787 | The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism | |
788 | (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is | |
789 | used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the | |
790 | measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data) | |
791 | or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter | |
792 | /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.) | |
793 | Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than | |
794 | one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail | |
795 | and per_byte options don't have this problem.) | |
796 | ||
797 | The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate | |
798 | is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first | |
799 | after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's | |
800 | count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly. | |
801 | ||
802 | The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique | |
803 | events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different | |
804 | recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It | |
805 | behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but | |
806 | duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like | |
807 | the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option | |
808 | is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for | |
809 | example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses | |
810 | with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further | |
811 | details in the main documentation. | |

1360 | ||
1361 | Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They | |
1362 | were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved | |
1363 | keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could | |
1364 | not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering | |
1365 | build errors in sieve.c. | |

1380 | Exim version 4.68 |
1381 | ----------------- | |
1382 | ||
1383 | PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer. | |
1384 | ||
6a3bceb1 PH |
1385 | PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup |
1386 | in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"), | |
1387 | dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not | |
1388 | contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available | |
1389 | in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys | |
1390 | (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4 | |
1391 | keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work | |
1392 | for iplsearch lookups. | |
1393 | ||
1394 | This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with | |
1395 | colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because | |
1396 | previously such lookups could never work. | |
1397 | ||
1398 | The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in | |
1399 | ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is | |
1400 | incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations. | |
1401 | ||

1403 | version. | |

0806a9c5 MH |
1405 | MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s |
1406 | conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling | |
1407 | a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their | |
1408 | right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an | |
1409 | attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially | |
1410 | exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user. | |
1411 | ||
ae276964 TK |
1412 | TK/02 Bugzilla 502: Apply patch to make the SPF-Received: header use |
1413 | $primary_hostname instead of what libspf2 thinks the hosts name is. | |
1414 | ||
0f2cbd1b MH |
1415 | MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for |
1416 | a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a | |
1417 | symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that | |
1418 | Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that | |
1419 | symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry | |
1420 | exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.) | |
1421 | ||

1423 | local_scan API. | |
1424 | ||
93655c46 PH |
1425 | PH/04 Added the $dnslist_matched variable. |
1426 | ||
6c512171 PH |
1427 | PH/05 Unset $tls_cipher and $tls_peerdn before making a connection as a client. |
1428 | This means they are set thereafter only if the connection becomes | |
1429 | encrypted. | |
1430 | ||
1431 | PH/06 Added the client_condition to authenticators so that some can be skipped | |
1432 | by clients under certain conditions. | |
1433 | ||
aa6dc513 PH |
1434 | PH/07 The error message for a badly-placed control=no_multiline_responses left |
1435 | "_responses" off the end of the name. | |
1436 | ||
a96603a0 PH |
1437 | PH/08 Added -Mvc to output a copy of a message in RFC 2822 format. |
1438 | ||
8f240103 PH |
1439 | PH/09 Tidied the code for creating ratelimiting keys, creating them explicitly |
1440 | (without spaces) instead of just copying the configuration text. | |
1441 | ||
1442 | PH/10 Added the /noupdate option to the ratelimit ACL condition. | |
1443 | ||
d677b2f2 PH |
1444 | PH/11 Added $max_received_linelength. |
1445 | ||
d52120f2 PH |
1446 | PH/12 Added +ignore_defer and +include_defer to host lists. |
1447 | ||
64f2600a PH |
1448 | PH/13 Installed PCRE version 7.2. This needed some changes because of the new |
1449 | way in which PCRE > 7.0 is built. | |
1450 | ||
8669f003 PH |
1451 | PH/14 Implemented queue_only_load_latch. |
1452 | ||
a4dc33a8 PH |
1453 | PH/15 Removed an incorrect (int) cast when reading the value of SIZE in a |
1454 | MAIL command. The effect was to mangle the value on 64-bit systems. | |
1455 | ||
d6a60c0f PH |
1456 | PH/16 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer. |
1457 | ||
8f128379 PH |
1458 | PH/17 Added the NOTQUIT ACL, based on a patch from Ted Cooper. |
1459 | ||
8932dffe PH |
1460 | PH/18 If a system quota error occurred while trying to create the file for |
1461 | a maildir delivery, the message "Mailbox is full" was not appended to the | |
1462 | bounce if the delivery eventually timed out. Change 4.67/27 below applied | |
1463 | only to a quota excession during the actual writing of the file. | |
d6a60c0f | 1464 | |
ddea74fa | 1465 | PH/19 It seems that peer DN values may contain newlines (and other non-printing |
48ed62d9 PH |
1466 | characters?) which causes problems in log lines. The DN values are now |
1467 | passed through string_printing() before being added to log lines. | |
1468 | ||
ddea74fa | 1469 | PH/20 Added the "servers=" facility to MySQL and PostgreSQL lookups. (Oracle |
b7670459 PH |
1470 | and InterBase are left for another time.) |
1471 | ||
ddea74fa PH |
1472 | PH/21 Added message_body_newlines option. |

1484 | ----------------- | |
1485 | ||
22ad45c9 MH |
1486 | MH/01 Fix for bug #448, segfault in Dovecot authenticator when interface_address |
1487 | is unset (happens when testing with -bh and -oMi isn't used). Thanks to | |
1488 | Jan Srzednicki. | |
1489 | ||
b4ed4da0 PH |
1490 | PH/01 Added a new log selector smtp_no_mail, to log SMTP sessions that do not |
1491 | issue a MAIL command. | |
1492 | ||
431b7361 PH |
1493 | PH/02 In an ACL statement such as |
1494 | ||
1495 | deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2 | |
1496 | ||
1497 | if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than | |
1498 | 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list, | |
1499 | the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied. | |
1500 | The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second | |
1501 | item. This has been fixed. | |
1502 | ||
1503 | PH/03 Added additional dnslists conditions == and =& which are different from | |
1504 | = and & when the dns lookup returns more than one IP address. | |
1505 | ||
83da1223 PH |
1506 | PH/04 Added gnutls_require_{kx,mac,protocols} to give more control over the |
1507 | cipher suites used by GnuTLS. These options are ignored by OpenSSL. | |
1508 | ||
54fc8428 PH |
1509 | PH/05 After discussion on the list, added a compile time option ENABLE_DISABLE_ |
1510 | FSYNC, which compiles an option called disable_fsync that allows for | |
1511 | bypassing fsync(). The documentation is heavily laced with warnings. | |
1512 | ||
34c5e8dd SC |
1513 | SC/01 Updated eximstats to collate all SpamAssassin rejects into one bucket. |
1514 | ||
bbe15da8 PH |
1515 | PH/06 Some tidies to the infrastructure of the Test Suite that is concerned |
1516 | with the auxiliary C programs that it uses: (1) Arrange for BIND_8_COMPAT | |
1517 | to be defined when compiling on OSX (Darwin); (2) Tidies to the Makefile, | |
1518 | including adding "make clean"; (3) Added -fPIC when compiling the test | |
1519 | dynamically loaded module, to get rid of a warning. | |
1520 | ||
0e8a9471 MH |
1521 | MH/02 Fix for bug #451, causing paniclog entries to be written if a bounce |
1522 | message fails, move_frozen_messages = true and ignore_bounce_errors_after | |
1523 | = 0s. The bug is otherwise harmless. | |
1524 | ||
f0872424 PH |
1525 | PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of |
1526 | $auth1 could be overwritten, and so not correctly preserved, after a | |
1527 | successful authentication. This usually meant that the value preserved by | |
1528 | the server_setid option was incorrect. | |
1529 | ||
b01dd148 PH |
1530 | PH/08 Added $smtp_count_at_connection_start, deliberately with a long name. |
1531 | ||
6bf342e1 PH |
1532 | PH/09 Installed PCRE release 7.0. |
1533 | ||
273f34d0 PH |
1534 | PH/10 The acl_not_smtp_start ACL was, contrary to the documentation, not being |
1535 | run for batched SMTP input. It is now run at the start of every message | |
1536 | in the batch. While fixing this I discovered that the process information | |
1537 | (output by running exiwhat) was not always getting set for -bs and -bS | |
1538 | input. This is fixed, and it now also says "batched" for BSMTP. | |
1539 | ||
cf8b11a5 PH |
1540 | PH/11 Added control=no_pipelining. |
1541 | ||
41c7c167 PH |
1542 | PH/12 Added $sending_ip_address and $sending_port (mostly Magnus Holmgren's |
1543 | patch, slightly modified), and move the expansion of helo_data till after | |
1544 | the connection is made in the smtp transport (so it can use these | |
1545 | values). | |
1546 | ||
9c57cbc0 PH |
1547 | PH/13 Added ${rfc2047d: to decoded RFC 2047 strings. |
1548 | ||
f3f065bb PH |
1549 | PH/14 Added log_selector = +pid. |
1550 | ||
047bdd8c PH |
1551 | PH/15 Flush SMTP output before delaying, unless control=no_delay_flush is set. |
1552 | ||
0ce9abe6 PH |
1553 | PH/16 Add ${if forany and ${if forall. |
1554 | ||
0e22dfd1 PH |
1555 | PH/17 Added dsn_from option to vary the From: line in DSNs. |
1556 | ||
4c590bd1 PH |
1557 | PH/18 Flush SMTP output before performing a callout, unless control = |
1558 | no_callout_flush is set. | |
1559 | ||
09945f1e PH |
1560 | PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when address_retry_include_sender |
1561 | was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete the retry | |
1562 | item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is now | |
1563 | fixed. | |
1564 | ||
c51b8e75 PH |
1565 | PH/20 Added hosts_avoid_pipelining to the smtp transport. |
1566 | ||
e28326d8 PH |
1567 | PH/21 Long custom messages for fakedefer and fakereject are now split up |
1568 | into multiline reponses in the same way that messages for "deny" and | |
1569 | other ACL rejections are. | |
1570 | ||
75b1493f PH |
1571 | PH/22 Applied Jori Hamalainen's speed-up changes and typo fixes to exigrep, |
1572 | with slight modification. | |
1573 | ||
7c5214ec PH |
1574 | PH/23 Applied sieve patches from the maintainer "tracking the latest notify |
1575 | draft, changing the syntax and factoring some duplicate code". | |
1576 | ||
4311097e PH |
1577 | PH/24 When the log selector "outgoing_port" was set, the port was shown as -1 |
1578 | for deliveries of the second and subsequent messages over the same SMTP | |
1579 | connection. | |
1580 | ||
29f89cad PH |
1581 | PH/25 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch for ${addresses, ${map, ${filter, and |
1582 | ${reduce, with only minor "tidies". | |
1583 | ||
5e687460 SC |
1584 | SC/02 Applied Daniel Tiefnig's patch to improve the '($parent) =' pattern match. |
1585 | ||
c3611384 PH |
1586 | PH/26 Added a "continue" ACL modifier that does nothing, for the benefit of its |
1587 | expansion side effects. | |
1588 | ||
5a11a7b4 PH |
1589 | PH/27 When a message times out after an over-quota error from an Exim-imposed |
1590 | quota, the bounce message says "mailbox is full". This message was not | |
1591 | being given when it was a system quota that was exceeded. It now should | |
1592 | be the same. | |
1593 | ||
0e20aff9 MH |
1594 | MH/03 Made $recipients available in local_scan(). local_scan() already has |
1595 | better access to the recipient list through recipients_list[], but | |
1596 | $recipients can be useful in postmaster-provided expansion strings. | |
1597 | ||
ca86f471 PH |
1598 | PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct |
1599 | in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the | |
1600 | address, for example: MAIL FROM:<foo@bar> SIZE=1234. The option settings | |
1601 | were accidentally chopped off. | |
1602 | ||
a14e5636 PH |
1603 | PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read - |
1604 | there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be | |
1605 | any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is | |
1606 | some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might | |
1607 | arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for | |
1608 | HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when | |
1609 | pipelining has not been advertised. | |
1610 | ||
ec95d1a6 PH |
1611 | PH/30 MH's patch to allow iscntrl() characters to be list separators. |
1612 | ||
42855d71 PH |
1613 | PH/31 Unlike :fail:, a custom message specified with :defer: was not being |
1614 | returned in the SMTP response when smtp_return_error_details was false. | |
1615 | This has been fixed. | |
1616 | ||
57c2c631 PH |
1617 | PH/32 Change the Dovecot authenticator to use read() and write() on the socket |
1618 | instead of the C I/O that was originally supplied, because problems were | |
1619 | reported on Solaris. | |
1620 | ||
58c01c94 PH |
1621 | PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in |
1622 | Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to | |
1623 | SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is | |
1624 | no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() | |
1625 | was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has | |
1626 | changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile | |
1627 | error. Exim's code has been fixed. | |
1628 | ||
dee5a20a PH |
1629 | PH/34 Change HDA_SIZE in oracle.c from 256 to 512. This is needed for 64-bit |
1630 | cpus. | |
1631 | ||
d2ee6114 PH |
1632 | PH/35 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which fixes a bug in "notify". |
1633 | ||
b2d5182b PH |
1634 | PH/36 Applied John Jetmore's patch to add -v functionality to exigrep. |
1635 | ||
79749a79 PH |
1636 | PH/37 If a message is not accepted after it has had an id assigned (e.g. |
1637 | because it turns out to be too big or there is a timeout) there is no | |
3ce62588 PH |
1638 | "Completed" line in the log. When some messages of this type were |
1639 | selected by exigrep, they were listed as "not completed". Others were | |
1640 | picked up by some special patterns. I have improved the selection | |
1641 | criteria to be more general. | |
79749a79 | 1642 | |
c456d9bb PH |
1643 | PH/38 The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router can now be set |
1644 | to "ignore", to completely ignore a host whose IP address cannot be | |
1645 | found. If all hosts are ignored, the behaviour is controlled by the new | |
1646 | host_all_ignored option. | |
1647 | ||
cd9868ec PH |
1648 | PH/39 In a list of hosts for manualroute, if one item (either because of multi- |
1649 | homing or because of multiple MX records with /mx) generated more than | |
1650 | one IP address, and the following item turned out to be the local host, | |
1651 | all the secondary addresses of the first item were incorrectly removed | |
1652 | from the list, along with the local host and any following hosts (which | |
1653 | is what is supposed to happen). | |
1654 | ||
ebeaf996 PH |
1655 | PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of |
1656 | whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was | |
1657 | behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever | |
1658 | started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it | |
1659 | calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always | |
1660 | uses the Exim user. | |
1661 | ||
2679d413 PH |
1662 | PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a |
1663 | message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad | |
1664 | sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen | |
1665 | with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the | |
1666 | RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is | |
1667 | intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their | |
1668 | users. | |
1669 | ||
84024b72 PH |
1670 | PH/42 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer. |
1671 | ||
8005d38e SC |
1672 | SC/02 Eximstats - Differentiate between permanent and temporary rejects. |
1673 | Eximstats - Fixed some broken HTML links and added missing column headers | |
1674 | (Jez Hancock). | |
1675 | Eximstats - Fixed Grand Total Summary Domains, Edomains, and Email | |
1676 | columns for Rejects, Temp Rejects, Ham, and Spam rows. | |

a43a27c5 PH |
1680 | PH/43 Yet another patch from the Sieve maintainer. |
1681 | ||
58eb016e | 1682 | PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending |
563b63fa PH |
1683 | the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the |
1684 | case where the client has not sent further data following the '.' | |
1685 | (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be | |
1686 | any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call | |
1687 | to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is | |
1688 | either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read | |
1689 | the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim | |
58eb016e | 1690 | would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see. |
563b63fa PH |
1691 | This could lead to message repetition. This fix should cure that, at |
1692 | least in a lot of common cases. | |
58eb016e | 1693 | |

1694 | PH/45 Do not advertise STARTTLS in response to HELP unless it would be |

1698 | Exim version 4.66 |
1699 | ----------------- | |
1700 | ||
1701 | PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one | |
1702 | fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed: | |
1703 | ||
1704 | (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison | |
1705 | operators. This behaviour has been restored. | |
1706 | ||
1707 | (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat | |
1708 | their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers | |
1709 | starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal. | |
1710 | ||
1711 | While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that | |
1712 | hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option | |
1713 | and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0. | |
1714 | The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as | |
1715 | decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation. | |
1716 | ||

93cfa765 TK |
1718 | Exim version 4.65 |
1719 | ----------------- | |
1720 | ||
1721 | TK/01 Disable default definition of HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE. Clashes with | |
1722 | Linux large file support (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) on older glibc | |
1723 | versions. (#438) | |
1724 | ||
d6066548 MH |
1725 | MH/01 Don't check that the operands of numeric comparison operators are |
1726 | integers when their expansion is in "skipping" mode (fixes bug | |
1727 | introduced by 4.64-PH/07). | |
1728 | ||
4362ff0d PH |
1729 | PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767) |
1730 | child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count | |
1731 | is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a | |
1732 | large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous | |
1733 | (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit | |
1734 | rather than extend the field. | |

1737 | Exim version 4.64 |
1738 | ----------------- | |
aa41d2de | 1739 | |
21d74bd9 TK |
1740 | TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a |
1741 | leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402). | |
1742 | While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K | |
1743 | filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating | |
1744 | these files. | |
1745 | ||
1746 | TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing | |
1747 | processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails, | |
1748 | triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401. | |
1749 | ||
1750 | TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used | |
1751 | in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable, | |
1752 | hence the _LINUX specificness. | |
944e9e9c TF |
1753 | |
1754 | TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter, | |
1755 | there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any | |
1756 | header after the first one which had an odd number of characters | |
1757 | in the field name. | |
1758 | ||
2b1c6e3a PH |
1759 | PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender |
1760 | callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This | |
1761 | is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient | |
1762 | verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case | |
1763 | the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special | |
1764 | case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g. | |
1765 | rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL | |
1766 | address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection. | |
1767 | Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is | |
1768 | left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying | |
1769 | RCPT means that the domain itself is ok). | |
1770 | ||

1774 | PH/03 On Solaris, an unexpectedly close socket (dropped connection) can | |

a2405d83 JJ |
1794 | JJ/01 exipick 20060919.0, allow for arbitrary acl_ variables introduced |

1800 | PH/10 Added the log_reject_target ACL modifier to specify where to log |

26da7e20 PH |
1803 | PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_ |
1804 | hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and | |
1805 | probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing | |
1806 | callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been | |
1807 | changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport | |
1808 | instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If | |
1809 | there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host | |
1810 | addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used. | |
6ea85e9a | 1811 | |
14aa5a05 | 1812 | PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various |
7befa435 | 1813 | tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below): |
14aa5a05 PH |
1814 | (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer |
1815 | overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format() | |
1816 | function. | |
1817 | (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum | |
1818 | hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring. | |
1819 | (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function. | |
1820 | Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function. | |
1821 | (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well. | |
1822 | (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify | |
1823 | service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its | |
1824 | interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and | |
1825 | changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now. | |
1826 | ||
ff75a1f7 PH |
1827 | PH/13 Added $message_headers_raw to provide the headers without RFC 2047 |
1828 | decoding. | |
1829 | ||
e6f6568e PH |
1830 | PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the |
1831 | address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without | |
1832 | -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a | |
1833 | successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However, | |
1834 | with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A | |
1835 | failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C, | |
1836 | with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's | |
1837 | parentage before showing the successful verification of C. | |
1838 | ||
d6f6e0dc PH |
1839 | PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to |
1840 | look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined | |
1841 | list. | |
1842 | ||
322050c2 PH |
1843 | PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and |
1844 | RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when | |
1845 | they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they | |
1846 | wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some | |
1847 | cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups). | |
1848 | To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to | |
1849 | host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument | |
1850 | containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now | |
1851 | sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp | |
1852 | transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to | |
1853 | host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses | |
1854 | of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES | |
1855 | (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents). | |
1856 | ||
08955dd3 PH |
1857 | PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make |
1858 | spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary | |
1859 | switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is | |
1860 | overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist. | |
1861 | Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the | |
1862 | str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first | |
1863 | character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement. | |
1864 | ||
1eccaa59 PH |
1865 | PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The |
1866 | flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not | |
1867 | turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being | |
1868 | set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to | |
1869 | be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_ | |
1870 | verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I | |
1871 | came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax | |
1872 | while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting | |
1873 | the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused | |
1874 | trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct. | |
1875 | ||
602e59e5 PH |
1876 | PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called |
1877 | with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally | |
1878 | came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply, | |
1879 | but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the | |
1880 | code for some other use. I have removed all the tests. | |
1881 | ||
411ef850 PH |
1882 | PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a |
1883 | feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto | |
1884 | embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the | |
1885 | only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is | |
1886 | always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad | |
1887 | effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the | |
1888 | RSA_EXPORT functionality. | |
1889 | ||
7befa435 PH |
1890 | PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot |
1891 | authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data | |
1892 | (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed | |
1893 | to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option | |
1894 | if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the | |
1895 | local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has | |
1896 | been verified. | |
1897 | ||
48da4259 | 1898 | PH/22 As suggested by Dennis Davis, added a server_condition option to *all* |
16ff981e PH |
1899 | authenticators. This can be used for authorization after authentication |
1900 | succeeds. (In the case of plaintext, it servers for both authentication | |
1901 | and authorization.) | |
1902 | ||
48da4259 PH |
1903 | PH/23 Testing for tls_required and lost_connection in a retry rule didn't work |
1904 | if any retry times were supplied. | |
1905 | ||
d1d5595c PH |
1906 | PH/24 Exim crashed if verify=helo was activated during an incoming -bs |
1907 | connection, where there is no client IP address to check. In this | |
1908 | situation, the verify now always succeeds. | |
1909 | ||
0ef732d9 PH |
1910 | PH/25 Applied John Jetmore's -Mset patch. |
1911 | ||
328895cc PH |
1912 | PH/26 Added -bem to be like -Mset, but loading a message from a file. |
1913 | ||
fd700877 PH |
1914 | PH/27 In a string expansion for a processed (not raw) header when multiple |
1915 | headers of the same name were present, leading whitespace was being | |
1916 | removed from all of them, but trailing whitespace was being removed only | |
1917 | from the last one. Now trailing whitespace is removed from each header | |
f6c332bd PH |
1918 | before concatenation. Completely empty headers in a concatenation (as |
1919 | before) are ignored. | |
fd700877 | 1920 | |
8dce1a6f PH |
1921 | PH/28 Fixed bug in backwards-compatibility feature of PH/09 (thanks to John |
1922 | Jetmore). It would have mis-read ACL variables from pre-4.61 spool files. | |
1923 | ||
17af4a17 PH |
1924 | PH/29 [Removed. This was a change that I later backed out, and forgot to |
1925 | correct the ChangeLog entry (that I had efficiently created) before | |
1926 | committing the later change.] | |
f6c332bd PH |
1927 | |
1928 | PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered | |
1929 | address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other | |
1930 | messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced", | |
1931 | so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries | |
1932 | for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more | |
1933 | hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had | |
1934 | the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list | |
1935 | of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there | |
1936 | was no problem. Two fixes have been applied: | |
1937 | ||
1938 | (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none | |
1939 | of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts | |
1940 | for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a | |
1941 | candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a | |
1942 | successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely | |
1943 | reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host". | |
1944 | This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done | |
1945 | previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any | |
1946 | harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization. | |
1947 | ||
1948 | (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the | |
1949 | routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep | |
1950 | hammering the server. | |
1951 | ||
c1114884 PH |
1952 | PH/31 Installed Andrew Findlay's patch to close the writing end of the socket |
1953 | in ${readsocket because some servers need this prod. | |
1954 | ||
7a0743eb PH |
1955 | PH/32 Added some extra debug output when updating a wait-xxx database. |
1956 | ||
0d85fa3f PH |
1957 | PH/33 The hint "could be header name not terminated by colon", which has been |
1958 | given for certain expansion errors for a long time, was not being given | |
1959 | for the ${if def:h_colon_omitted{... case. | |
1960 | ||
1bf43b78 PH |
1961 | PH/34 The spec says: "With one important exception, whenever a domain list is |
1962 | being scanned, $domain contains the subject domain." There was at least | |
1963 | one case where this was not true. | |
1964 | ||
520de300 PH |
1965 | PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being |
1966 | written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really | |
1967 | panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have | |
1968 | removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname() | |
1969 | fails. | |
1970 | ||
48c7f9e2 PH |
1971 | PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue |
1972 | runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant | |
1973 | that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different | |
1974 | message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse | |
1975 | things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting | |
1976 | server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems. | |
1977 | I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now | |
1978 | based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change | |
1979 | can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the | |
1980 | smtp transport. | |
1981 | ||
99ea1c86 PH |
1982 | PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the |
1983 | remote server are returned as part of bounce messages. This was not | |
1984 | happening for LMTP over a pipe (the lmtp transport), but now it is the | |
1985 | same for both kinds of LMTP. | |
1986 | ||
a2042e78 PH |
1987 | PH/38 Despite being documented as not happening, Exim was rewriting addresses |
1988 | in header lines that were in fact CNAMEs. This is no longer the case. | |
1989 | ||
4fbcfc2e PH |
1990 | PH/39 If -R or -S was given with -q<time>, the effect of -R or -S was ignored, |
1991 | and queue runs started by the daemon processed all messages. This has | |
1992 | been fixed so that -R and -S can now usefully be given with -q<time>. | |

2003 | a message is delivered. (The old names remain recognized, of course.) | |

2118 | Thanks to Dean Brooks <dean@iglou.com> for the patch. | |
2119 | ||
6083aca0 TF |
2120 | TF/05 Make it easier to get SMTP authentication and TLS/SSL support working |
2121 | by adding some example configuration directives to the default | |
2122 | configuration file. A little bit of work is required to uncomment the | |
2123 | directives and define how usernames and passwords are checked, but | |
2124 | there is now a framework to start from. | |
2125 | ||
765b530f PH |
2126 | PH/01 Added #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 to ldap.c because some of the "old" |
2127 | functions that Exim currently uses aren't defined in ldap.h for OpenLDAP | |
2128 | without this. I don't know how relevant this is to other LDAP libraries. | |
2129 | ||
4e167a8c PH |
2130 | PH/02 Add the verb name to the "unknown ACL verb" error. |
2131 | ||
4608d683 PH |
2132 | PH/03 Magnus Holmgren's patch for filter_prepend_home. |
2133 | ||
b8dc3e4a PH |
2134 | PH/03 Fixed Bugzilla #101: macro definition between ACLs doesn't work. |
2135 | ||
5418e93b PH |
2136 | PH/04 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch to fix Bugzilla #98: transport's home |
2137 | directory not expanded when it should be if an expanded home directory | |
2138 | was set for the address (which is overridden by the transport). | |
2139 | ||
b4a9bda2 PH |
2140 | PH/05 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch to fix Bugzilla #99: a problem with |
2141 | libradius. | |
2142 | ||
45b91596 PH |
2143 | PH/06 Added acl_not_smtp_start, based on Johannes Berg's patch, and set the |
2144 | bit to forbid control=suppress_local_fixups in the acl_not_smtp ACL, | |
2145 | because it is too late at that time, and has no effect. | |
2146 | ||
5547e2c5 PH |
2147 | PH/07 Changed ${quote_pgsql to quote ' as '' instead of \' because of a |
2148 | security issue with \' (bugzilla #107). I could not use the | |
2149 | PQescapeStringConn() function, because it needs a PGconn value as one of | |
2150 | its arguments. | |
2151 | ||
dbcef0ea PH |
2152 | PH/08 When testing addresses using -bt, indicate those final addresses that |
2153 | are duplicates that would not cause an additional delivery. At least one | |
2154 | person was confused, thinking that -bt output corresponded to deliveries. | |
2155 | (Suppressing duplicates isn't a good idea as you lose the information | |
2156 | about possibly different redirections that led to the duplicates.) | |
2157 | ||
25257489 PH |
2158 | PH/09 Applied patch from Erik to use select() instead of poll() in spam.c on |
2159 | systems where poll() doesn't work, in particular OS X. | |
2160 | ||
c816d124 PH |
2161 | PH/10 Added more information to debugging output for retry time not reached. |
2162 | ||
a9ccd69a PH |
2163 | PH/11 Applied patch from Arkadiusz Miskiewicz to apply a timeout to read |
2164 | operations in malware.c. | |
2165 | ||
75fa1910 PH |
2166 | PH/12 Applied patch from Magnus Holmgren to include the "h" tag in Domain Keys |
2167 | signatures. | |
2168 | ||
a7d7aa58 PH |
2169 | PH/13 If write_rejectlog was set false when logging was sent to syslog with |
2170 | syslog_duplication set false, log lines that would normally be written | |
2171 | both the the main log and to the reject log were not written to syslog at | |
2172 | all. | |
2173 | ||
42119b09 PH |
2174 | PH/14 In the default configuration, change the use of "message" in ACL warn |
2175 | statements to "add_header". | |
2176 | ||
41609df5 PH |
2177 | PH/15 Diagnose a filter syntax error for "seen", "unseen", or "noerror" if not |
2178 | not followed by a command (e.g. "seen endif"). | |
2179 | ||
a5bd321b PH |
2180 | PH/16 Recognize SMTP codes at the start of "message" in ACLs and after :fail: |
2181 | and :defer: in a redirect router. Add forbid_smtp_code to suppress the | |
2182 | latter. | |
2183 | ||
e85a7ad5 | 2184 | PH/17 Added extra conditions to the default value of delay_warning_condition |
5dff5817 PH |
2185 | so that it is now: |
2186 | ||
e85a7ad5 PH |
2187 | ${if or { \ |
2188 | { !eq{$h_list-id:$h_list-post:$h_list-subscribe:}{} } \ | |
2189 | { match{$h_precedence:}{(?i)bulk|list|junk} } \ | |
2190 | { match{$h_auto-submitted:}{(?i)auto-generated|auto-replied} } \ | |
5dff5817 PH |
2191 | }{no}{yes}} |
2192 | ||
e85a7ad5 PH |
2193 | The Auto-Submitted: and various List- headers are standardised, whereas I |
2194 | don't think Precedence: ever was. | |
5dff5817 | 2195 | |
d8fe1c03 PH |
2196 | PH/18 Refactored debugging code in route_finduser() to show more information, |
2197 | in particular, the error code if getpwnam() issues one. | |
2198 | ||
16282d2b PH |
2199 | PH/19 Added PQsetClientEncoding(conn, "SQL_ASCII") to the pgsql code module. |
2200 | This is apparently needed in addition to the PH/07 change above to avoid | |
2201 | any possible encoding problems. | |
2202 | ||
35d40a98 PH |
2203 | PH/20 Perl can change the locale. Exim was resetting it after a ${perl call, |
2204 | but not after initializing Perl. | |
2205 | ||
034d99ab PH |
2206 | PH/21 Added a call to PQsetNoticeProcessor() to catch pgsql "notices" and |
2207 | output them only if debugging. By default they are written stderr, | |
2208 | apparently, which is not desirable. | |
2209 | ||
6ec97b1b PH |
2210 | PH/22 Added Alain Williams' LDAP patch to support setting REFERRALS=off on |
2211 | queries. | |
2212 | ||
e22ca4ac JJ |
2213 | JJ/01 exipick: added --reverse (and -R synonym), --random, --size, --sort and |
2214 | --not options | |
2215 | ||
2216 | JJ/02 exipick: rewrote --help documentation to hopefully make more clear. | |
2217 | ||
33d73e3b PH |
2218 | PH/23 Made -oMaa and -oMt work with -bh and -bs to pretend the connection is |
2219 | authenticated or an ident call has been made. Suppress the default | |
2220 | values for $authenticated_id and $authenticated_sender (but permit -oMai | |
2221 | and -oMas) when testing with -bh. | |
2222 | ||
9ecb03f3 PH |
2223 | PH/24 Re-jigged the order of the tests in the default configuration so that the |
2224 | tests for valid domains and recipients precede the DNS black list and CSA | |
2225 | tests, on the grounds that those ones are more expensive. | |
2226 | ||
084efe8d PH |
2227 | PH/25 Exim was not testing for a space following SMTP commands such as EHLO |
2228 | that require one. Thus, EHLORHUBARB was interpreted as a valid command. | |
2229 | This bug exists in every version of Exim that I still have, right back to | |
2230 | 0.12. | |
2231 | ||
366fc9f0 PH |
2232 | PH/26 (n)wildlsearch lookups are documented as being done case-insensitively. |
2233 | However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by | |
2234 | including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already | |
2235 | lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a | |
2236 | one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected. | |
2237 | ||

c887c79e TF |
2239 | Exim version 4.62 |
2240 | ----------------- | |
2241 | ||
2242 | TF/01 Fix the add_header change below (4.61 PH/55) which had a bug that (amongst | |
2243 | other effects) broke the use of negated acl sub-conditions. | |
2244 | ||
1cce3af8 PH |
2245 | PH/01 ${readsocket now supports Internet domain sockets (modified John Jetmore |
2246 | patch). | |
2247 | ||
afb3eaaf PH |
2248 | PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow". |
2249 | "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error. | |
2250 | Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure, | |
2251 | tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some | |
2252 | kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this. | |
2253 | Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a | |
2254 | 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs | |
2255 | if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a | |
2256 | 451 error is used. | |
2257 | ||
e173618b PH |
2258 | PH/03 Add -lutil to the default FreeBSD LIBS setting. |
2259 | ||
dd16e114 PH |
2260 | PH/04 Change PH/19 for 4.61 was too wide. It should not be applied to host |
2261 | errors. Otherwise a message that provokes a temporary error (when other | |
2262 | messages do not) can cause a whole host to time out. | |
2263 | ||
f7fd3850 PH |
2264 | PH/05 Batch deliveries by appendfile and pipe transports did not work when the |
2265 | addresses were routed directly to files or pipes from a redirect router. | |
2266 | File deliveries just didn't batch; pipe deliveries might have suffered | |
2267 | odd errors. | |
2268 | ||
d87df92c PH |
2269 | PH/06 A failure to get a lock for a hints database would erroneously always say |
2270 | "Failed to get write lock", even when it was really a read lock. | |
2271 | ||
7e9f683d PH |
2272 | PH/07 The appendfile transport was creating MBX lock files with a fixed mode |
2273 | of 0600. This has been changed to use the value of the lockfile_mode | |
2274 | option (which defaults to 0600). | |
2275 | ||
bfad5236 PH |
2276 | PH/08 Applied small patch from the Sieve maintainer. |
2277 | ||
01c490df PH |
2278 | PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash |
2279 | folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed | |
2280 | up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was | |
2281 | used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox | |
2282 | was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an | |
2283 | excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota | |
2284 | processing for deliveries into excluded directories. | |
2285 | ||
d6629cdc PH |
2286 | PH/10 Added the maildirfolder_create_regex option to appendfile. |

214e2000 PH |
2289 | Exim version 4.61 |
2290 | ----------------- | |
2291 | ||
2292 | PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD | |
2293 | system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD | |
2294 | systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken | |
2295 | code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the | |
2296 | IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was | |
2297 | that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6 | |
2298 | addresses as local. | |
2299 | ||
f9daeae0 PH |
2300 | PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@ |
2301 | [ipv6:....] because it didn't know about the "ipv6:" prefix. | |
2302 | ||
7e66e54d PH |
2303 | PH/03 Added disable_ipv6. |
2304 | ||
c8ea1597 PH |
2305 | PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the |
2306 | decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers | |
2307 | lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically | |
2308 | invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all | |
2309 | newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not | |
2310 | grumble. | |
2311 | ||
911f6fde PH |
2312 | PH/05 If group was specified without a user on a router, and no group or user |
2313 | was specified on a transport, the group from the router was ignored. | |
2314 | ||
47ca6d6c PH |
2315 | PH/06 Increased the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type, and arranged |
2316 | for visible compile-time settings that can be used to change these | |
2317 | numbers, for those that want even more. Backwards compatibility with old | |
2318 | spool files has been maintained. However, going back to a previous Exim | |
2319 | release will lost any variables that are in spool files. | |
2320 | ||
ed0e9820 PH |
2321 | PH/07 Two small changes when running in the test harness: increase delay when |
2322 | passing a TCP/IP connection to a new process, in case the original | |
2323 | process has to generate a bounce, and remove special handling of | |
2324 | 127.0.0.2 (sic), which is no longer necessary. | |
2325 | ||
eff37e47 PH |
2326 | PH/08 Changed debug output of dbfn_open() flags from numbers to names, so as to |
2327 | be the same on different OS. | |
2328 | ||
1921d2ea PH |
2329 | PH/09 Moved a debug statement in filter processing to avoid a race problem when |
2330 | testing. | |
2331 | ||
b3f69ca8 JJ |
2332 | JJ/01 exipick: fixed bug where -b (brief) output option showed "Vars:" |
2333 | whether --show-vars was specified or not | |
2334 | ||
2335 | JJ/02 exipick: Added support for new ACL variable spool format introduced | |
2336 | in 4.61-PH/06 | |
2337 | ||
424a1c63 PH |
2338 | PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a |
2339 | syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to | |
2340 | generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the | |
2341 | autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file | |
2342 | name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that | |
2343 | it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a | |
2344 | bounce message. | |
2345 | ||
7a100415 PH |
2346 | PH/11 The exinext utility has a -C option for testing purposes, but although |
2347 | the given file was scanned by exinext itself; it wasn't being passed on | |
2348 | when Exim was called. | |
2349 | ||
19b9dc85 PH |
2350 | PH/12 In the smtp transport, treat an explicit ECONNRESET error the same as |
2351 | an end-of-file indication when reading a command response. | |
2352 | ||
309bd837 PH |
2353 | PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was |
2354 | compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always | |
2355 | recognized, so I have changed this. It also means that IPv4 domain | |
2356 | literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized. | |
2357 | ||
59e82a2a PH |
2358 | PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be |
2359 | used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at | |
2360 | ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was | |
2361 | non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two | |
2362 | changes: | |
2363 | ||
2364 | (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader | |
2365 | in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate | |
2366 | suitable debugging ouput when -d is set. | |
2367 | ||
2368 | (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root, | |
2369 | outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs | |
2370 | the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid. | |
2371 | ||
9edc04ce PH |
2372 | PH/15 Minor change to Makefile for building test_host (undocumented testing |
2373 | feature). | |
2374 | ||
1349e1e5 PH |
2375 | PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the |
2376 | additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records. | |
2377 | Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids | |
2378 | major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one | |
2379 | type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has | |
2380 | fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding | |
2381 | address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port | |
2382 | values from the SRV records were lost. | |
2383 | ||
ea49d0e1 PH |
2384 | PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not |
2385 | using the correct key (the original address) when searching the retry | |
2386 | rules in order to find which one to use for generating the retry hint. | |
2387 | ||
064a94c9 PH |
2388 | PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from |
2389 | adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the | |
2390 | errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used. | |
2391 | ||
727071f8 PH |
2392 | PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since |
2393 | failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now | |
2394 | it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the | |
2395 | message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better | |
2396 | behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the | |
2397 | "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message | |
2398 | when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the | |
2399 | "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent | |
2400 | delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended. | |
dd16e114 | 2401 | [Note: This change was subsequently modified - see PH/04 for 4.62.] |
727071f8 | 2402 | |
f78eb7c6 PH |
2403 | PH/20 Added $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 to contain authentication data (as well as |
2404 | $1, $2, $3) because the numerical variables can be reset during some | |
2405 | expansion items (e.g. "match"), thereby losing the authentication data. | |
2406 | ||
21c28500 PH |
2407 | PH/21 Make -bV show the size of off_t variables so that the test suite can |
2408 | decide whether to run tests for quotas > 2G. | |
2409 | ||
2410 | PH/22 Test the values given for quota, quota_filecount, quota_warn_threshold, | |
2411 | mailbox_size, and mailbox_filecount in the appendfile transport. If a | |
2412 | filecount value is greater than 2G or if a quota value is greater than 2G | |
2413 | on a system where the size of off_t is not greater than 4, a panic error | |
2414 | is given. | |
2415 | ||
1688f43b PH |
2416 | PH/23 When a malformed item such as 1.2.3/24 appears in a host list, it can |
2417 | never match. The debug and -bh output now contains an explicit error | |
2418 | message indicating a malformed IPv4 address or mask. | |
2419 | ||
2420 | PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address | |
2421 | 1.2.3.4 without a mask. Now it is not recognized as an IP address, and | |
2422 | PH/23 above applies. | |
2423 | ||
9675b384 PH |
2424 | PH/25 Do not write to syslog when running in the test harness. The only |
2425 | occasion when this arises is a failure to open the main or panic logs | |
2426 | (for which there is an explicit test). | |
2427 | ||
6a3f1455 PH |
2428 | PH/26 Added the /no_tell option to "control=freeze". |
2429 | ||
dac79d3e PH |
2430 | PH/27 If a host name lookup failed very early in a connection, for example, if |
2431 | the IP address matched host_lookup and the reverse lookup yielded a name | |
2432 | that did not have a forward lookup, an error message of the form "no IP | |
2433 | address found for host xxx.xxx.xxx (during SMTP connection from NULL)" | |
2434 | could be logged. Now it outputs the IP address instead of "NULL". | |
1349e1e5 | 2435 | |
5977a0b3 PH |
2436 | PH/28 An enabling patch from MH: add new function child_open_exim2() which |
2437 | allows the sender and the authenticated sender to be set when | |
2438 | submitting a message from within Exim. Since child_open_exim() is | |
2439 | documented for local_scan(), the new function should be too. | |
2440 | ||
c91535f3 PH |
2441 | PH/29 In GnuTLS, a forced expansion failure for tls_privatekey was not being |
2442 | ignored. In both GnuTLS and OpenSSL, an expansion of tls_privatekey that | |
2443 | results in an empty string is now treated as unset. | |

2445 | PH/30 Fix eximon buffer overflow bug (Bugzilla #73). |
2446 | ||

2447 | PH/31 Added sender_verify_fail logging option. |
2448 | ||
2cbb4081 PH |
2449 | PH/32 In November 2003, the code in Exim that added an empty Bcc: header when |
2450 | needed by RFC 822 but not by RFC 2822 was commented out. I have now | |
2451 | tidied the source and removed it altogether. | |
2452 | ||
3eef829e PH |
2453 | PH/33 When a queue run was abandoned because the load average was too high, a |
2454 | log line was always written; now it is written only if the queue_run log | |
2455 | selector is set. In addition, the log line for abandonment now contains | |
2456 | information about the queue run such as the pid. This is always present | |
2457 | in "start" and "stop" lines but was omitted from the "abandon" line. | |
2458 | ||
1ab95fa6 PH |
2459 | PH/34 Omit spaces between a header name and the colon in the error message that |

2461 | the message gets confusing). | |

230205fc PH |
2463 | PH/35 Change the default for dns_check_names_pattern to allow slashes within |
2464 | names, as there are now some PTR records that contain slashes. This check | |
2465 | is only to protect against broken name servers that fall over on strange | |
2466 | characters, so the fact that it applies to all lookups doesn't matter. | |
2467 | ||
75e0e026 PH |
2468 | PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the |
2469 | special code in Exim that was needed for the old test suite. For example, | |
2470 | sorting DNS records because real resolvers return them in an arbitrary | |
2471 | order. The new test suite's fake resolver always returns records in the | |
2472 | same order. | |
2473 | ||
2474 | PH/37 When running in the test harness, use -odi for submitted messages (e.g. | |
2475 | bounces) except when queue_only is set, to avoid logging races between | |
2476 | the different processes. | |

2480 | PH/39 A tweak to the "H" retry rule from its user. |
2481 | ||
11121d3d JJ |
2482 | JJ/03 exipick: Removed parentheses from 'next' and 'last' calls that specified |
2483 | a label. They prevented compilation on older perls. | |
2484 | ||
2485 | JJ/04 exipick: Refactored code to prevent implicit split to @_ which caused | |
2486 | a warning to be raised on newish perls. | |
2487 | ||
2488 | JJ/05 exipick: Fixed bug where -bpc always showed a count of all messages | |
2489 | on queue. Changes to match documented behaviour of showing count of | |
2490 | messages matching specified criteria. | |
2491 | ||
8def5aaf PH |
2492 | PH/40 Changed the default ident timeout from 30s to 5s. |
2493 | ||
929ba01c PH |
2494 | PH/41 Added support for the use of login_cap features, on those BSD systems |
2495 | that have them, for controlling the resources used by pipe deliveries. | |
2496 | ||
2632889e PH |
2497 | PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put |
2498 | message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of | |
2499 | the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates | |
2500 | files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these | |
2501 | files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because, | |
2502 | being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have | |
2503 | created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode | |
2504 | argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required | |
2505 | mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the | |
2506 | content scanning code have been changed to use this function. | |
2507 | ||
944a9c55 PH |
2508 | PH/43 If retry_interval_max is set greater than 24 hours, it is quietly reset |
2509 | to 24 hours. This avoids potential overflow problems when processing G | |
2510 | and H retry rules. I suspect nobody ever tinkers with this value. | |
2511 | ||
4a23603b PH |
2512 | PH/44 Added STRIP_COMMAND=/usr/bin/strip to the FreeBSD Makefile. |
2513 | ||
4730f942 PH |
2514 | PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's |
2515 | challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By | |
2516 | default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is | |
2517 | received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors. | |
2518 | The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as | |
2519 | they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the | |
2520 | challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in | |
2521 | the variable. | |
2522 | ||
30dba1e6 PH |
2523 | PH/46 Messages that are created by the autoreply transport now contains a |
2524 | References: header, in accordance with RFCs 2822 and 3834. | |
2525 | ||
382afc6b PH |
2526 | PH/47 Added authenticated_sender_force to the smtp transport. |
2527 | ||
a86229cf PH |
2528 | PH/48 The ${prvs expansion was broken on systems where time_t was long long. |
2529 | ||
50c99ba6 PH |
2530 | PH/49 Installed latest patch from the Sieve maintainer. |
2531 | ||
d35e429d PH |
2532 | PH/50 When an Exim quota was set without a file count quota, and mailbox_size |
2533 | was also set, the appendfile transport was unnecessarily scanning a | |
2534 | directory of message files (e.g. for maildir delivery) to find the count | |
2535 | of files (along with the size), even though it did not need this | |
2536 | information. It now does the scan only if it needs to find either the | |
2537 | size of the count of files. | |
2538 | ||
f90d018c PH |
2539 | PH/51 Added ${time_eval: to convert Exim time strings into seconds. |
2540 | ||
75def545 PH |
2541 | PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is |
2542 | used in LMTP mode: | |
2543 | ||
2544 | (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given | |
2545 | for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport | |
2546 | was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too | |
2547 | frequently, and not timed out correctly. | |
2548 | ||
2549 | (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned | |
2550 | for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual | |
2551 | recipients that were returned after the DATA command. | |
2552 | ||
2553 | PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address, | |
2554 | when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the | |
2555 | sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only | |
2556 | "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as | |
2557 | well as "retry timeout exceeded". | |
2558 | ||
c46782ef PH |
2559 | PH/54 Added control=allow_auth_unadvertised, as it seems there are clients that |
2560 | do this, and (what is worse) MTAs that accept it. | |
2561 | ||
71fafd95 PH |
2562 | PH/55 Added the add_header modified to ACLs. The use of "message" with "warn" |
2563 | will now be deprecated. | |
2564 | ||
2c5db4fd PH |
2565 | PH/56 New os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer. |
2566 | ||
9cf6b11a JJ |
2567 | JJ/06 exipick: added --unsorted option to allow unsorted output in all output |
2568 | formats (previously only available in exim formats via -bpr, -bpru, | |
2569 | and -bpra. Now also available in native and exiqgrep formats) | |
2570 | ||
2571 | JJ/07 exipick: added --freeze and --thaw options to allow faster interaction | |
2572 | with very large, slow to parse queues | |
2573 | ||
2574 | JJ/08 exipick: added ! as generic prefix to negate any criteria format | |
2575 | ||
2576 | JJ/09 exipick: miscellaneous performance enhancements (~24% improvements) | |
2577 | ||
898d150f PH |
2578 | PH/57 Tidies in SMTP dialogue display in debug output: (i) It was not showing |
2579 | responses to authentication challenges, though it was showing the | |
2580 | challenges; (ii) I've removed the CR characters from the debug output for | |
2581 | SMTP output lines. | |
2582 | ||
46218253 PH |
2583 | PH/58 Allow for the insertion of a newline as well as a space when a string |
2584 | is turned into more than one encoded-word during RFC 2047 encoding. The | |
2585 | Sieve code now uses this. | |
2586 | ||
e97957bc PH |
2587 | PH/59 Added the following errors that can be detected in retry rules: mail_4xx, |
2588 | data_4xx, lost_connection, tls_required. | |
2589 | ||
81e509d7 PH |
2590 | PH/60 When a VRFY deferred or FAILED, the log message rather than the user |
2591 | message was being sent as an SMTP response. | |
2592 | ||
3d240ff7 PH |
2593 | PH/61 Add -l and -k options to exicyclog. |
2594 | ||
b37c4101 PH |
2595 | PH/62 When verifying, if an address was redirected to one new address, so that |
2596 | verification continued, and the new address failed or deferred after | |
2597 | having set something in $address_data, the value of $address_data was not | |
2598 | passed back to the ACL. This was different to the case when no | |
2599 | redirection occurred. The value is now passed back in both cases. | |
2600 | ||
79378e0f PH |
2601 | PH/63 Changed the macro HAVE_LOGIN_CAP (see PH/41 for this release above) to |
2602 | HAVE_SETCLASSRESOURCES because there are different APIs in use that all | |
2603 | use login_cap.h, so on its own it isn't the distinguishing feature. The | |
2604 | new name refers directly to the setclassresources() function. | |
2605 | ||
e49c7bb4 PH |
2606 | PH/65 Added configuration files for NetBSD3. |
2607 | ||
d114ec46 PH |
2608 | PH/66 Updated OS/Makefile-HP-UX for gcc 4.1.0 with HP-UX 11. |
2609 | ||
f3d7df6c PH |
2610 | PH/67 Fixed minor infelicity in the sorting of addresses to ensure that IPv6 |
2611 | is preferred over IPv4. | |
2612 | ||
715ab376 PH |
2613 | PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being |
2614 | honoured for bounces generated during the reception of non-SMTP messages. | |
2615 | In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has | |
2616 | been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_ | |
2617 | body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message | |
2618 | include only those that have been read before the error was detected. | |
2619 | (In the case of an ACL rejection, they have all been read.) | |
2620 | ||
6b31b150 PH |
2621 | PH/69 The HTML version of the specification is now built in a directory called |
2622 | spec_html instead of spec.html, because the latter looks like a path with | |
2623 | a MIME-type, and this confuses some software. | |
2624 | ||
2625 | PH/70 Catch two compiler warnings in sieve.c. | |
2626 | ||
d515a917 PH |
2627 | PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The |
2628 | function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but | |
2629 | if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the | |
2630 | socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in | |
2631 | between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When | |
2632 | the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file | |
2633 | descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is | |
2634 | not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by | |
2635 | the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where | |
2636 | this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now | |
2637 | uses, but I've fixed it anyway. | |
2638 | ||
9b8fadde PH |
2639 | PH/72 Make dns_again_means_nonexist apply to lookups using gethostbyname() as |
2640 | well as to direct DNS lookups. Otherwise the handling of names in host | |
2641 | lists is inconsistent and therefore confusing. | |
2642 | ||

2644 | Exim version 4.60 |
2645 | ----------------- | |
2646 | ||
cc38ddbf PH |
2647 | PH/01 Two changes to the default runtime configuration: |
2648 | ||
2649 | (1) Move the checks for relay_from_hosts and authenticated clients from | |
2650 | after to before the (commented out) DNS black list checks. | |
2651 | ||
2652 | (2) Add control=submission to the relay_from_hosts and authenticated | |
2653 | clients checks, on the grounds that messages accepted by these | |
2654 | statements are most likely to be submissions. | |
5de37277 | 2655 | |
72fdd6ae PH |
2656 | PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck: |
2657 | ||
2658 | (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is | |
2659 | not a single digit. | |
2660 | ||
2661 | (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty | |
2662 | string. | |
2663 | ||
2664 | (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of | |
2665 | ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code, | |
2666 | because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do | |
2667 | silly things. | |
2668 | ||
2669 | (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by | |
2670 | one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-). | |
2671 | ||
2672 | (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result | |
2673 | inside the third argument. | |
cb9328de | 2674 | |
cb741023 PH |
2675 | PH/03 For some reason, the default setting of PATH when running a command from |
2676 | a pipe transport was just "/usr/bin". I have changed it to | |
2677 | "/bin:/usr/bin". | |
2678 | ||
f174f16e PH |
2679 | PH/04 SUPPORT_TRANSLATE_IP_ADDRESS and MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES did not cause |
2680 | anything to be listed in the output from -bV. | |
b2f5a032 | 2681 | |
c25242d7 PH |
2682 | PH/05 When a filter generated an autoreply, the entire To: header line was |
2683 | quoted in the delivery log line, like this: | |
2684 | ||
2685 | => >A.N.Other <ano@some.domain> <original@ddress> ... | |
2686 | ||
2687 | This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There | |
2688 | may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like | |
2689 | this: | |
2690 | ||
2691 | => >ano@some.domain,ona@other.domain <original@ddress> ... | |
2692 | ||
82c19f95 PH |
2693 | PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO |
2694 | command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was | |
2695 | not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the | |
2696 | IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were | |
2697 | identical. For example: | |
2698 | ||
2699 | Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4]) | |
2700 | ||
2701 | However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data | |
2702 | if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it | |
2703 | doesn't show the same IP address twice. | |
2704 | ||
d7ffbc12 PH |
2705 | PH/07 When both +timestamp and +memory debugging was on, the value given by |
2706 | $tod_xxx expansions could be wrong, because the tod_stamp() function was | |
2707 | called by the debug printing, thereby overwriting the timestamp buffer. | |
2708 | Debugging no longer uses the tod_stamp() function when +timestamp is set. | |
2709 | ||
9f526266 PH |
2710 | PH/08 When the original message was included in an autoreply transport, it |
2711 | always said "this is a copy of the message, including all the headers", | |
2712 | even if body_only or headers_only was set. It now gives an appropriate | |
2713 | message. | |
2714 | ||
87fcc8b9 PH |
2715 | PH/09 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which: |
2716 | ||
2717 | o fixes some comments | |
2718 | o adds the (disabled) notify extension core | |
2719 | o adds some debug output for the result of if/elsif tests | |
2720 | o points to the current vacation draft in the documentation | |
2721 | and documents the missing references header update | |
2722 | ||
2723 | and most important: | |
2724 | ||
2725 | o fixes a bug in processing the envelope test (when testing | |
2726 | multiple envelope elements, the last element determinted the | |
2727 | result) | |
2728 | ||
456682f5 PH |
2729 | PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to |
2730 | Electronic Mail") by including: | |
2731 | ||
2732 | Auto-submitted: auto-generated | |
2733 | ||
2734 | in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as | |
2735 | warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was | |
2736 | also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of | |
2737 | hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response | |
2738 | to another message, thes have all been changed to: | |
2739 | ||
2740 | Auto-Submitted: auto-replied | |
2741 | ||
2742 | in accordance with these statements in the RFC: | |
2743 | ||
2744 | The auto-replied keyword: | |
2745 | ||
2746 | - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another | |
2747 | message by an automatic process, | |
2748 | ||
2749 | - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages, | |
2750 | ||
2751 | - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message | |
2752 | Disposition Notifications (MDNs), | |
2753 | ||
2754 | - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic | |
2755 | processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to | |
2756 | other messages. | |
2757 | ||
3e46c1aa PH |
2758 | PH/11 Added "${if def:sender_address {(envelope-from <$sender_address>)\n\t}}" |
2759 | to the default Received: header definition. | |
456682f5 | 2760 | |
49826d12 PH |
2761 | PH/12 Added log selector acl_warn_skipped (default on). |
2762 | ||
eba0c039 PH |
2763 | PH/13 After a successful wildlsearch lookup, discard the values of numeric |
2764 | variables because (a) they are in the wrong storage pool and (b) even if | |
2765 | they were copied, it wouldn't work properly because of the caching. | |
2766 | ||
a0d6ba8a PH |
2767 | PH/14 Add check_rfc2047_length to disable enforcement of RFC 2047 length |
2768 | checking when decoding. Apparently there are clients that generate | |
2769 | overlong encoded strings. Why am I not surprised? | |
2770 | ||
f0917727 PH |
2771 | PH/15 If the first argument of "${if match_address" was not empty, but did not |
2772 | contain an "@" character, Exim crashed. Now it writes a panic log message | |
2773 | and treats the condition as false. | |
2774 | ||
096fee00 PH |
2775 | PH/16 In autoreply, treat an empty string for "once" the same as unset. |
2776 | ||
024bd3c2 PH |
2777 | PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve |
2778 | extension "envelope-auth". The code is finished and in agreement with | |
2779 | other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact, | |
2780 | nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus | |
2781 | not changing the active code. | |
2782 | ||
2783 | Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This | |
2784 | helps a great deal to understand what a filter does. | |
2785 | ||
2786 | Document more things not specified clearly in RFC3028. I had all this | |
2787 | sorted out, when out of a sudden new issues came to my mind. Oops." | |
2788 | ||
df199fec PH |
2789 | PH/18 Exim was not recognizing the "net-" search type prefix in match_ip lists |
2790 | (Bugzilla #53). | |
2791 | ||
d27f1df3 PH |
2792 | PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated |
2793 | canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from | |
2794 | the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with | |
2795 | addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did | |
2796 | have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6 | |
2797 | addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could | |
2798 | fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison | |
2799 | by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of | |
2800 | the text comparison. | |
2801 | ||
96776534 PH |
2802 | PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was |
2803 | given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated | |
2804 | form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated. | |
2805 | The same fix has been applied. | |

2810 | ||
2811 | PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was | |

99a4b039 PH |
2815 | PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on |

4b233853 PH |
2820 | PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-" |
2821 | header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929. | |
2822 | Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as | |
2823 | non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated | |
2824 | anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.) | |

2826 | TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax |
2827 | errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option | |
2828 | now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters | |
2829 | but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain | |
2830 | or /domain=). | |
2831 | ||
433a2980 PH |
2832 | PH/05 Some modifications to the interface to the fake nameserver for the new |
2833 | testing suite. | |

e3a311ba TK |
2837 | Exim version 4.53 |
2838 | ----------------- | |
2839 | ||
2840 | TK/01 Added the "success_on_redirect" address verification option. See | |
2841 | NewStuff for rationale and an example. | |
2842 | ||
13b685f9 PH |
2843 | PH/01 Added support for SQLite, basic code supplied by David Woodhouse. |
2844 | ||
395ff96d PH |
2845 | PH/02 Patch to exigrep to allow it to work on syslog lines. |
2846 | ||
5b68f6e4 PH |
2847 | PH/03 When creating an mbox file for a virus/spam scan, use fseek() instead of |
2848 | fread() to skip over the body file's header line, because in Cygwin the | |
2849 | header line is locked and is inaccessible. | |
2850 | ||
1ab52c69 PH |
2851 | PH/04 Added $message_exim_id, ultimately to replace $message_id (they will both |
2852 | co-exist for some time) to make it clear that it is the Exim ID that is | |
2853 | referenced, not the Message-ID: header line. | |
2854 | ||
b07e6aa3 PH |
2855 | PH/05 Replaced all Tom's calls to snprintf() with calls to the internal |
2856 | string_format() function, because snprintf() does not exist on all | |
2857 | operating systems. | |
2858 | ||
254e032f PH |
2859 | PH/06 The use of forbid_filter_existstest now also locks out the use of the |
2860 | ${stat: expansion item. | |
2861 | ||
3af76a81 PH |
2862 | PH/07 Changed "SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error" into "SMTP |
2863 | protocol synchronization error", to keep the pedants happy. | |
2864 | ||
2548ba04 PH |
2865 | PH/08 Arrange for USE_INET_NTOA_FIX to be set in config.h for AIX systems as |
2866 | well as for IRIX systems, when gcc is being used. See the host.c source | |
2867 | file for comments. | |
2868 | ||
b6c6011d PH |
2869 | PH/09 Installed latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer. |
2870 | ||
cf39cf57 PH |
2871 | PH/10 Named domain lists were not working if used in a queue_smtp_domains |
2872 | setting. | |
2873 | ||
f1513293 PH |
2874 | PH/11 Added support for the IGNOREQUOTA extension to LMTP, both to the lmtp |
2875 | transport and to the smtp transport in LMTP mode. | |
2876 | ||
727549a4 PH |
2877 | TK/02 Remove one case of BASE64 error detection FTTB (undocumented anyway). |
2878 | ||
af46795e PH |
2879 | PH/12 There was a missing call to search_tidyup() before the fork() in rda.c to |
2880 | run a filter in a subprocess. This could lead to confusion in subsequent | |
2881 | lookups in the parent process. There should also be a search_tidyup() at | |
2882 | the end of the subprocess. | |
2883 | ||
d7b47fd0 PH |
2884 | PH/13 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true |
2885 | only if the host matched helo_try_verify_hosts, which caused the | |
2886 | verification to occur when the EHLO/HELO command was issued. The ACL just | |
2887 | tested the remembered result. Now, if a previous verification attempt has | |
2888 | not happened, "verify = helo" does it there and then. | |
2889 | ||
ee744174 JJ |
2890 | JJ/01 exipick: added $message_exim_id variable (see 4.53-PH/04) |
2891 | ||
b582ab87 PH |
2892 | TK/03 Fix log output including CR from clamd. |
2893 | ||
41a13e0a PH |
2894 | PH/14 A reference to $reply_address when Reply-to: was empty and From: did not |
2895 | exist provoked a memory error which could cause a segfault. | |
2896 | ||
f625cc5a PH |
2897 | PH/15 Installed PCRE 6.2 |
2898 | ||
2899 | PH/17 Defined BIND_8_COMPAT in the Darwin os.h file. | |
2900 | ||
21f7af35 PH |
2901 | PH/18 Reversed 4.52/PH/17 because the HP-UX user found it wasn't the cause |
2902 | of the problem. Specifically, suggested +O2 rather than +O1 for the | |
2903 | HP-UX compiler. | |
2904 | ||
31480e42 PH |
2905 | PH/19 Added sqlite_lock_timeout option (David Woodhouse's patch). |
2906 | ||
2d280592 PH |
2907 | PH/20 If a delivery was routed to a non-standard port by means of an SRV |
2908 | record, the port was not correctly logged when the outgoing_port log | |
2909 | selector was set (it logged the transort's default port). | |
2910 | ||
7cd1141b PH |
2911 | PH/21 Added support for host-specific ports to manualroute, queryprogram, |
2912 | fallback_hosts, and "hosts" in the smtp transport. | |
2913 | ||
2914 | PH/22 If the log selector "outgoing_port" is set, the port is now also given on | |
2915 | host errors such as "Connection refused". | |
2916 | ||
750af86e PH |
2917 | PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius |
2918 | authentication with radiusclient 0.4.9: | |
2919 | ||
2920 | - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly | |
2921 | - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length. | |
2922 | ||
2923 | The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17 | |
2924 | were not taken care of correctly. The code is still untested by me (my | |
2925 | Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of radiusclient), but it was | |
2926 | contributed by a Radius user. | |
2927 | ||
2928 | PH/24 When doing a callout, the value of $domain wasn't set correctly when | |
2929 | expanding the "port" option of the smtp transport. | |
2930 | ||
4304270b TK |
2931 | TK/04 MIME ACL: Fix buffer underrun that occurs when EOF condition is met |
2932 | while reading a MIME header. Thanks to Tom Hughes for a patch. | |
2933 | ||
750af86e PH |
2934 | PH/24 Include config.h inside local_scan.h so that configuration settings are |
2935 | available. | |
2936 | ||
64ffc24f PH |
2937 | PH/25 Make $smtp_command_argument available after all SMTP commands. This means |
2938 | that in an ACL for RCPT (for example), you can examine exactly what was | |
2939 | received. | |
2940 | ||
5dd9625b PH |
2941 | PH/26 Exim was recognizing IPv6 addresses of the form [IPv6:....] in EHLO |
2942 | commands, but it was not correctly comparing the address with the actual | |
2943 | client host address. Thus, it would show the EHLO address in Received: | |
2944 | header lines when this was not necessary. | |
2945 | ||
5591031b PH |
2946 | PH/27 Added the % operator to ${eval:}. |
2947 | ||
ba18e66a PH |
2948 | PH/28 Exim tries to create and chdir to its spool directory when it starts; |
2949 | it should be ignoring failures (because with -C, for example, it has lost | |
2950 | privilege). It wasn't ignoring creation failures other than "already | |
2951 | exists". | |
2952 | ||
9cec981f PH |
2953 | PH/29 Added "crypteq" to the list of supported features that Exim outputs when |
2954 | -bV or -d is used. | |
2955 | ||
aa2b5c79 PH |
2956 | PH/30 Fixed (presumably very longstanding) bug in exim_dbmbuild: if it failed |
2957 | because an input line was too long, either on its own, or by virtue of | |
1509d3a8 PH |
2958 | too many continuations, the temporary file was not being removed, and the |
2959 | return code was incorrect. | |
aa2b5c79 | 2960 | |
48a53b7f PH |
2961 | PH/31 Missing "BOOL" in function definition in filtertest.c. |
2962 | ||
1c59d63b PH |
2963 | PH/32 Applied Sieve patches from the maintainer. |
2964 | ||
671012da TK |
2965 | TK/05 Domainkeys: Accomodate for a minor API change in libdomainkeys 0.67. |
2966 | ||
1509d3a8 PH |
2967 | PH/33 Added "verify = not_blind". |
2968 | ||
2969 | PH/34 There are settings for CHOWN_COMMAND and MV_COMMAND that can be used in | |
2970 | Local/Makefile (with some defaults set). These are used in built scripts | |
2971 | such as exicyclog, but they have never been used in the exim_install | |
2972 | script (though there are many overriding facilities there). I have | |
2973 | arranged that the exim_install script now takes note of these two | |
2974 | settings. | |
2975 | ||
2976 | PH/35 Installed configuration files for Dragonfly. | |
2977 | ||
2fe1a124 PH |
2978 | PH/36 When a locally submitted message by a trusted user did not contain a |
2979 | From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP | |
2980 | MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender | |
2981 | name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From: | |
2982 | header. Furthermore, $originator_name was used for submission mode | |
2983 | messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way, | |
2984 | which is clearly wrong. | |
2985 | ||
8800895a PH |
2986 | PH/37 Added control=suppress_local_fixups. |
2987 | ||
ccfdb010 PH |
2988 | PH/38 When log_selector = +received_sender was set, and the addition of the |
2989 | sender made the log line's construction buffer exactly full, or one byte | |
2990 | less than full, an overflow happened when the terminating "\n" was | |
2991 | subsequently added. | |
2992 | ||
1130bfb0 PH |
2993 | PH/39 Added a new log selector, "unknown_in_list", which provokes a log entry |
2994 | when the result of a list match is failure because a DNS lookup failed. | |
2995 | ||
ebcb507f PH |
2996 | PH/40 RM_COMMAND is now used in the building process. |
2997 | ||
c35e155c PH |
2998 | PH/41 Added a "distclean" target to the top-level Makefile; it deletes all |
2999 | the "build-* directories that it finds. | |
3000 | ||
95d1f782 PH |
3001 | PH/42 (But a TF fix): In a domain list, Exim incorrectly matched @[] if the IP |
3002 | address in a domain literal was a prefix of an interface address. | |
3003 | ||
fd6de02e PH |
3004 | PH/43 (Again a TF fix): In the dnslookup router, do not apply widen_domains |
3005 | when verifying a sender address, unless rewrite_headers is false. | |
3006 | ||
58de37c5 PH |
3007 | PH/44 Wrote a long comment about why errors_to addresses are verified as |
3008 | recipients, not senders. | |
3009 | ||
261cf466 TF |
3010 | TF/01 Add missing LIBS=-lm to OS/Makefile-OpenBSD which was overlooked when |
3011 | the ratelimit ACL was added. | |
3012 | ||
3ee512ff PH |
3013 | PH/45 Added $smtp_command for the full command (cf $smtp_command_argument). |
3014 | ||
e08c430f PH |
3015 | PH/46 Added extra information about PostgreSQL errors to the error string. |
3016 | ||
bef5a11f PH |
3017 | PH/47 Added an interface to a fake DNS resolver for use by the new test suite, |
3018 | avoiding the need to install special zones in a real server. This is | |
3019 | backwards compatible; if it can't find the fake resolver, it drops back. | |
3020 | Thus, both old and new test suites can be run. | |
3021 | ||
7546de58 TF |
3022 | TF/02 Added util/ratelimit.pl |
3023 | ||
e5d5a95f TF |
3024 | TF/03 Minor fix to the ratelimit code to improve its behaviour in case the |
3025 | clock is set back in time. | |
3026 | ||
2e88a017 TF |
3027 | TF/04 Fix the ratelimit support in exim_fixdb. Patch provided by Brian |
3028 | Candler <B.Candler@pobox.com>. | |
3029 | ||
a5f65aa4 TF |
3030 | TF/05 The fix for PH/43 was not completely correct; widen_domains is always |
3031 | OK for addresses that are the result of redirections. | |
3032 | ||
e7726cbf PH |
3033 | PH/48 A number of further additions for the benefit of the new test suite, |
3034 | including a fake gethostbyname() that interfaces to the fake DNS resolver | |
3035 | (see PH/47 above). | |
3036 | ||
a7fdad5b TF |
3037 | TF/06 The fix for widen_domains has also been applied to qualify_single and |
3038 | search_parents which are the other dnslookup options that can cause | |
3039 | header rewrites. | |
3040 | ||
6af56900 PH |
3041 | PH/49 Michael Haardt's randomized retrying, but as a separate retry parameter |
3042 | type ("H"). | |
3043 | ||
0925ede6 PH |
3044 | PH/50 Make never_users, trusted_users, admin_groups, trusted_groups expandable. |
3045 | ||
66afa403 TF |
3046 | TF/07 Exim produced the error message "an SRV record indicated no SMTP |
3047 | service" if it encountered an MX record with an empty target hostname. | |
3048 | The message is now "an MX or SRV record indicated no SMTP service". | |
3049 | ||
0154e85a TF |
3050 | TF/08 Change PH/13 introduced the possibility that verify=helo may defer, |
3051 | if the DNS of the sending site is misconfigured. This is quite a | |
3052 | common situation. This change restores the behaviour of treating a | |
3053 | helo verification defer as a failure. | |
3054 | ||
16f12c76 PH |
3055 | PH/51 If self=fail was set on a router, the bounce message did not include the |
3056 | actual error message. | |
3057 | ||
bbe902f0 | 3058 | |
e5a9dba6 PH |
3059 | Exim version 4.52 |
3060 | ----------------- | |
3061 | ||
3062 | TF/01 Added support for Client SMTP Authorization. See NewStuff for details. | |
3063 | ||
22c3b60b PH |
3064 | PH/01 When a transport filter timed out in a pipe delivery, and the pipe |
3065 | command itself ended in error, the underlying message about the transport | |
3066 | filter timeout was being overwritten with the pipe command error. Now the | |
3067 | underlying error message should be appended to the second error message. | |
3068 | ||
06a9b4b5 PH |
3069 | TK/01 Fix poll() being unavailable on Mac OSX 10.2. |
3070 | ||
c1ac6996 PH |
3071 | PH/02 Reduce the amount of output that "make" produces by default. Full output |
3072 | can still be requested. | |
3073 | ||
9c7a242c PH |
3074 | PH/03 The warning log line about a condition test deferring for a "warn" verb |
3075 | was being output only once per connection, rather than after each | |
3076 | occurrence (because it was using the same function as for successful | |
3077 | "warn" verbs). This seems wrong, so I have changed it. | |
3078 | ||
87ba3f5f PH |
3079 | TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that |
3080 | it should not have, which might have caused a crash in the right | |
3081 | circumstances, but probably never did. | |
3082 | ||
3083 | PH/04 Installed a modified version of Tony Finch's patch to make submission | |
3084 | mode fix the return path as well as the Sender: header line, and to | |
3085 | add a /name= option so that you can make the user's friendly name appear | |
3086 | in the header line. | |
3087 | ||
29aba418 TF |
3088 | TF/03 Added the control = fakedefer ACL modifier. |
3089 | ||
fe0dab11 TF |
3090 | TF/04 Added the ratelimit ACL condition. See NewStuff for details. Thanks to |
3091 | Mark Lowes for thorough testing. | |
870f6ba8 | 3092 | |
11d337a4 TK |
3093 | TK/02 Rewrote SPF support to work with libspf2 versions >1.2.0. |
3094 | ||
3095 | TK/03 Merged latest SRS patch from Miles Wilton. | |
3096 | ||
415c8f3b PH |
3097 | PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts |
3098 | with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier). | |
3099 | Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to | |
3100 | preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were | |
3101 | scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion, | |
3102 | so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h. | |
11d337a4 | 3103 | |
958541e9 PH |
3104 | PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout |
3105 | in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single | |
3106 | write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write. | |
3107 | This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it | |
3108 | would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It | |
3109 | doesn't have to be particularly precise. | |
3110 | ||
c206415f TK |
3111 | TK/04 Added simple SPF lookup method in EXPERIMENTAL_SPF. See NewStuff for |
3112 | details. Thanks to Chris Webb <chris@arachsys.com> for the patch! | |
3113 | ||
2a4be8f9 PH |
3114 | PH/07 Added "fullpostmaster" verify option, which does a check to <postmaster> |
3115 | without a domain if the check to <postmaster@domain> fails. | |
3116 | ||
1cba11c5 SC |
3117 | SC/01 Eximstats: added -xls and the ability to specify output files |
3118 | (patch written by Frank Heydlauf). | |
3119 | ||
3120 | SC/02 Eximstats: use FileHandles for outputing results. | |
3121 | ||
3122 | SC/03 Eximstats: allow any combination of xls, txt, and html output. | |
3123 | ||
3124 | SC/04 Eximstats: fixed display of large numbers with -nvr option | |
3125 | ||
3126 | SC/05 Eximstats: fixed merging of reports with empty tables. | |
3127 | ||
3128 | SC/06 Eximstats: added the -include_original_destination flag | |
3129 | ||
3130 | SC/07 Eximstats: removed tabs and trailing whitespace. | |
3131 | ||
1005d00e TK |
3132 | TK/05 Malware: Improve on aveserver error handling. Patch from Alex Miller. |
3133 | ||
3134 | TK/06 MBOX spool code: Add real "From " MBOX separator line | |
3135 | so the .eml file is really in mbox format (even though | |
3136 | most programs do not really care). Patch from Alex Miller. | |
3137 | ||
3138 | TK/07 MBOX spool code: Add X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To: headers. | |
3139 | The latter is generated from $received_to and is only set if the | |
3140 | message has one envelope recipient. SA can use these headers, | |
3141 | obviously out-of-the-box. Patch from Alex Miller. | |
3142 | ||
9b4768fa PH |
3143 | PH/08 The ${def test on a variable was returning false if the variable's |
3144 | value was "0", contrary to what the specification has always said! | |
3145 | The result should be true unless the variable is empty. | |
3146 | ||
3147 | PH/09 The syntax error of a character other than { following "${if | |
3148 | def:variable_name" (after optional whitespace) was not being diagnosed. | |
3149 | An expansion such as ${if def:sender_ident:{xxx}{yyy}} in which an | |
3150 | accidental colon was present, for example, could give incorrect results. | |
3151 | ||
0d7eb84a PH |
3152 | PH/10 Tidied the code in a number of places where the st_size field of a stat() |
3153 | result is used (not including appendfile, where other changes are about | |
3154 | to be made). | |
3155 | ||
3156 | PH/11 Upgraded appendfile so that quotas larger than 2G are now supported. | |
3157 | This involved changing a lot of size variables from int to off_t. It | |
3158 | should work with maildirs and everything. | |
3159 | ||
40727bee TK |
3160 | TK/08 Apply fix provided by Michael Haardt to prevent deadlock in case of |
3161 | spamd dying while we are connected to it. | |
3162 | ||
554d2369 TF |
3163 | TF/05 Fixed a ${extract error message typo reported by Jeremy Harris |
3164 | <jgh@wizmail.org> | |
3165 | ||
1f922db1 PH |
3166 | PH/12 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch for the API change for the error callback |
3167 | function for BDB 4.3. | |
3168 | ||
ef213c3b PH |
3169 | PH/13 Changed auto_thaw such that it does not apply to bounce messages. |
3170 | ||
8ac170f3 PH |
3171 | PH/14 Imported PCRE 6.0; this was more than just a trivial operation because |
3172 | the sources for PCRE have been re-arranged and more files are now | |
3173 | involved. | |
3174 | ||
b1c749bb PH |
3175 | PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11 |
3176 | above was not the best (it lost precision). The length of off_t variables | |
3177 | is now inspected at build time, and an appropriate printing format (%ld | |
c6c2dc1d PH |
3178 | or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T |
3179 | to be "long long int" or "long int". This is needed for the internal | |
3180 | formatting function string_vformat(). | |
b1c749bb | 3181 | |
4aac9b49 PH |
3182 | PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in |
3183 | the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where | |
3184 | the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our | |
3185 | case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script | |
3186 | suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks | |
3187 | to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim | |
3188 | with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it | |
3189 | falls back to the previous guessing code." | |
3190 | ||
294520c8 TK |
3191 | TK/09 Added "prvs" and "prvscheck" expansion items. These help a lot with |
3192 | implementing BATV in an Exim configuration. See NewStuff for the gory | |
3193 | details. | |
3194 | ||
5bd022fe PH |
3195 | PH/17 Applied Michael Haardt's patch for HP-UX, affecting only the os.h and |
3196 | Makefile that are specific to HP-UX. | |
3197 | ||
90e9ce59 PH |
3198 | PH/18 If the "use_postmaster" option was set for a recipient callout together |
3199 | with the "random" option, the postmaster address was used as the MAIL | |
3200 | FROM address for the random test, but not for the subsequent recipient | |
3201 | test. It is now used for both. | |
3202 | ||
5ea81592 PH |
3203 | PH/19 Applied Michael Haardt's patch to update Sieve to RFC3028bis. "The |
3204 | patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the | |
3205 | latest draft now contains them. It adds the new en;ascii-case comparator | |
3206 | and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and | |
3207 | require names are now matched exactly. I enabled the subaddress | |
3208 | extension, but it is not well tested yet (read: it works for me)." | |
3209 | ||
c6c2dc1d PH |
3210 | PH/20 Added macros for time_t as for off_t (see PH/15 above) and used them to |
3211 | rework some of the code of TK/09 above to avoid the hardwired use of | |
3212 | "%lld" and "long long". Replaced the call to snprintf() with a call to | |
3213 | string_vformat(). | |
3214 | ||
fffffe4c PH |
3215 | PH/21 Added some other messages to those in 4.51/PH/42, namely "All relevant MX |
3216 | records point to non-existent hosts", "retry timeout exceeded", and | |
3217 | "retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period". | |
ca02eafb | 3218 | |
9a26b6b2 PH |
3219 | PH/22 Fixed some oversights/typos causing bugs when Exim is compiled with |
3220 | experimental DomainKeys support: | |
3221 | ||
3222 | (1) The filter variables $n0-$n9 and $sn0-$sn9 were broken. | |
3223 | (2) On an error such as an illegally used "control", the wrong name for | |
3224 | the control was given. | |
3225 | ||
3226 | These problems did NOT occur unless DomainKeys support was compiled. | |
3227 | ||
4aee0225 PH |
3228 | PH/23 Added daemon_startup_retries and daemon_startup_sleep. |
3229 | ||
32d668a5 PH |
3230 | PH/24 Added ${if match_ip condition. |
3231 | ||
8187c3f3 PH |
3232 | PH/25 Put debug statements on either side of calls to EXIM_DBOPEN() for hints |
3233 | databases so that it will be absolutely obvious if a crash occurs in the | |
3234 | DB library. This is a regular occurrence (often caused by mis-matched | |
3235 | db.h files). | |
3236 | ||
ff790e47 | 3237 | PH/26 Insert a lot of missing (void) casts for functions such as chown(), |
f1e894f3 PH |
3238 | chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were |
3239 | picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem | |
3240 | to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be | |
3241 | put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have | |
3242 | set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due | |
3243 | course. | |
ff790e47 | 3244 | |
5417f6d1 PH |
3245 | PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not |
3246 | specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a | |
3247 | router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to | |
3248 | read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it | |
3249 | just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was | |
3250 | introduced by 4.51/PH/31. | |
3251 | ||
59cf8544 PH |
3252 | PH/28 Changed -d+all to exclude +memory, because that information is very |
3253 | rarely of interest, but it makes the output a lot bigger. People tend to | |
3254 | do -d+all out of habit. | |
3255 | ||
e7ad8a65 PH |
3256 | PH/29 Removed support for the Linux-libc5 build, as it is obsolete and the |
3257 | code in os-type was giving problems when libc.so lives in lib64, like on | |
3258 | x86_64 Fedora Core. | |
3259 | ||
ade42478 PH |
3260 | PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These |
3261 | aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files | |
3262 | don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer | |
3263 | ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the | |
3264 | record types that Exim uses. | |
3265 | ||
182ad5cf PH |
3266 | PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was |
3267 | not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This | |
3268 | prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid | |
3269 | data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a | |
3270 | non-existent file that was broken. | |
3271 | ||
b0d9fc80 TK |
3272 | TK/10 Domainkeys: Fix a bug in verification that caused a crash in conjunction |
3273 | with a change in libdomainkeys > 0.64. | |
3274 | ||
3275 | TK/11 Domainkeys: Change the logic how the "testing" policy flag is retrieved | |
3276 | from DNS. If the selector record carries the flag, it now has | |
3277 | precedence over the domain-wide flag. | |
3278 | ||
3279 | TK/12 Cleared some compiler warnings related to SPF, SRS and DK code. | |
3280 | ||
47c7a64a PH |
3281 | PH/32 In mua_wrapper mode, if an smtp transport configuration error (such as |
3282 | the use of a port name that isn't defined in /etc/services) occurred, the | |
3283 | message was deferred as in a normal delivery, and thus remained on the | |
3284 | spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This | |
3285 | is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the | |
3286 | same time. | |
3287 | ||
a388bce4 SC |
3288 | SC/08 Eximstats: whilst parsing the mainlog(s), store information about |
3289 | the messages in a hash of arrays rather than using individual hashes. | |
3290 | This is a bit cleaner and results in dramatic memory savings, albeit | |
3291 | at a slight CPU cost. | |
3292 | ||
3293 | SC/09 Eximstats: added the -show_rt<list> and the -show_dt<list> flags | |
3294 | as requested by Marc Sherman. | |
3295 | ||
3296 | SC/10 Eximstats: added histograms for user specified patterns as requested | |
3297 | by Marc Sherman. | |
3298 | ||
0793e4ed SC |
3299 | SC/11 Eximstats: v1.43 - bugfix for pattern histograms with -h0 specified. |
3300 | ||
c58b88df PH |
3301 | PH/33 Patch from the Cygwin maintainer to add "b" to all occurences of |
3302 | fopen() in the content-scanning modules that did not already have it. | |
3303 | ||
e7ad8a65 | 3304 | |

3305 | Exim version 4.51 |
3306 | ----------------- | |
3307 | ||
1a46a8c5 PH |
3308 | TK/01 Added Yahoo DomainKeys support via libdomainkeys. See |
3309 | doc/experimental-spec.txt for details. (http://domainkeys.sf.net) | |
3310 | ||
2f079f46 | 3311 | TK/02 Fix ACL "control" statement not being available in MIME ACL. |
1a46a8c5 PH |
3312 | |
3313 | TK/03 Fix ACL "regex" condition not being available in MIME ACL. | |
3314 | ||
3315 | PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used | |
3316 | to test Sieve filters that use "vacation". | |
3317 | ||
3318 | PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch | |
3319 | that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file. | |
3320 | The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility, | |
3321 | if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an | |
3322 | old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This | |
3323 | means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the | |
3324 | file. | |
3325 | ||
3326 | PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not | |
3327 | work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the | |
3328 | parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried | |
3329 | again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of | |
3330 | these two options. | |
3331 | ||
3332 | PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are | |
3333 | redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog | |
3334 | entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to | |
3335 | consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for | |
3336 | "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an | |
3337 | address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under | |
3338 | certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same | |
c2c19e9d | 3339 | address. |
1a46a8c5 PH |
3340 | |
3341 | PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T | |
3342 | in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim. | |
3343 | ||
3344 | PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify = | |
3345 | header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash. | |
3346 | In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify = | |
3347 | reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are | |
3348 | supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_ | |
3349 | lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.) | |
3350 | ||
3351 | PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as | |
3352 | defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH | |
3353 | commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended | |
3354 | SMTP commands that take arguments. | |
3355 | ||
3356 | PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony | |
3357 | Finch). | |
3358 | ||
3359 | PH/09 Previously, an attempt to use ${perl when it wasn't compiled gave an | |
3360 | "unknown" error; now it says that the functionality isn't in the binary. | |
8d67ada3 | 3361 | |
49c2d5ea PH |
3362 | PH/10 Added a nasty fudge to try to recognize and flatten LDAP passwords in |
3363 | an address' error message when a string expansion fails (syntax or | |
f331f3b6 PH |
3364 | whatever). Otherwise the password may appear in the log. Following change |
3365 | PH/42 below, there is no longer a chance of it appearing in a bounce | |
3366 | message. | |
49c2d5ea | 3367 | |
bf759a8b PH |
3368 | PH/11 Installed exipick version 20050225.0 from John Jetmore. |
3369 | ||
83364d30 PH |
3370 | PH/12 If the last host in a fallback_hosts list was multihomed, only the first |
3371 | of its addresses was ever tried. (Bugzilla bug #2.) | |
3372 | ||
7999bbd7 PH |
3373 | PH/13 If "headers_add" in a transport didn't end in a newline, Exim printed |
3374 | the result incorrectly in the debug output. (It correctly added a newline | |
3375 | to what was transported.) | |
3376 | ||
7dbf77c9 PH |
3377 | TF/01 Added $received_time. |
3378 | ||
74e0617f PH |
3379 | PH/14 Modified the default configuration to add an acl_smtp_data ACL, with |
3380 | commented out examples of how to interface to a virus scanner and to | |
3381 | SpamAssassin. Also added commented examples of av_scanner and | |
3382 | spamd_address settings. | |
3383 | ||
2f079f46 PH |
3384 | PH/15 Further to TK/02 and TK/03 above, tidied up the tables of what conditions |
3385 | and controls are allowed in which ACLs. There were a couple of minor | |
3386 | errors. Some of the entries in the conditions table (which is a table of | |
3387 | where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a | |
3388 | negation of where the condition IS allowed. | |
3389 | ||
8c841523 PH |
3390 | PH/16 Installed updated OS/os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer. |
3391 | ||
7766a4f0 PH |
3392 | PH/17 The API for radiusclient changed at release 0.4.0. Unfortunately, the |
3393 | header file does not have a version number, so I've had to invent a new | |
3394 | value for RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, namely "RADIUSCLIENTNEW" to request the new | |
3395 | API. The code is untested by me (my Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of | |
3396 | radiusclient), but it was contributed by a Radius user. | |
3397 | ||
8b417f2c PH |
3398 | PH/18 Installed Lars Mainka's patch for the support of CRL collections in |
3399 | files or directories, for OpenSSL. | |
3400 | ||
901f42cb PH |
3401 | PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log |
3402 | file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the | |
3403 | ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see | |
3404 | the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this | |
3405 | fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited | |
3406 | for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources | |
3407 | run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check | |
3408 | for failure. | |
3409 | ||
f9b9210e PH |
3410 | PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing |
3411 | the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return | |
3412 | from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time, | |
3413 | the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty | |
3414 | string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1 | |
3415 | (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed. | |
3416 | There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after | |
3417 | "input=". | |
3418 | ||
54cdb463 PH |
3419 | PH/21 Added acl_not_smtp_mime to allow for MIME scanning for non-SMTP messages. |
3420 | ||
cf00dad6 PH |
3421 | PH/22 Added support for macro redefinition, and (re)definition in between |
3422 | driver and ACL definitions. | |
3423 | ||
acb1b346 PH |
3424 | PH/23 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was expanding server_hostname, but then |
3425 | forgetting to use the resulting value; it was using the unexpanded value. | |
3426 | ||
c5ddb310 PH |
3427 | PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it |
3428 | hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who | |
3429 | understands it better than I do: | |
3430 | ||
3431 | "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl | |
3432 | authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5): | |
3433 | ||
3434 | On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these. | |
3435 | This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list. | |
3436 | => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work | |
3437 | => three warnings about OTP not working | |
3438 | => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ... | |
3439 | ||
3440 | With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now | |
3441 | SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the | |
3442 | authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech() | |
3443 | gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different | |
3444 | for each call.) | |
3445 | => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or | |
3446 | nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech. | |
3447 | ||
3448 | I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine, | |
3449 | unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still | |
3450 | caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone." | |
3451 | ||
31619da6 PH |
3452 | PH/25 When debugging is enabled, the contents of the command line are added |

3454 | specified. | |
3455 | ||
bebaf0fc PH |
3456 | PH/26 Change scripts/os-type so that when "uname -s" returns just "GNU", the |
3457 | answer is "GNU", and only if the return is "GNU/something" is the answer | |
3458 | "Linux". | |
3459 | ||
475fe28a PH |
3460 | PH/27 $acl_verify_message is now set immediately after the failure of a |
3461 | verification in an ACL, and so is available in subsequent modifiers. In | |
3462 | particular, the message can be preserved by coding like this: | |
3463 | ||
3464 | warn !verify = sender | |
3465 | set acl_m0 = $acl_verify_message | |
3466 | ||
3467 | Previously, $acl_verify_message was set only while expanding "message" | |
3468 | and "log_message" when a very denied access. | |
3469 | ||
7e8bec7a PH |
3470 | PH/28 Modified OS/os.c-Linux with |

3472 | -#ifndef OS_LOAD_AVERAGE | |
3473 | +#if !defined(OS_LOAD_AVERAGE) && defined(__linux__) | |

3475 | to make Exim compile on kfreebsd-gnu. (I'm totally confused about the | |
3476 | nomenclature these days.) | |
3477 | ||
e4a89c47 PH |
3478 | PH/29 Installed patch from the Sieve maintainer that adds the options |
3479 | sieve_useraddress and sieve_subaddress to the redirect router. | |
3480 | ||
5ca2a9a1 PH |
3481 | PH/30 In these circumstances: |
3482 | . Two addresses routed to the same list of hosts; | |
3483 | . First host does not offer TLS; | |
3484 | . First host accepts first address; | |
3485 | . First host gives temporary error to second address; | |
3486 | . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established; | |
3487 | . Second host accepts second address. | |
3488 | Exim incorrectly logged both deliveries with the TLS parameters (cipher | |
3489 | and peerdn, if requested) that were in fact used only for the second | |
3490 | address. | |
7e8bec7a | 3491 | |
c688b954 PH |
3492 | PH/31 When doing a callout as part of verifying an address, Exim was not paying |
3493 | attention to any local part prefix or suffix that was matched by the | |
3494 | router that accepted the address. It now behaves in the same way as it | |
3495 | does for delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless | |
3496 | rcpt_include_affixes is set on the transport. | |

c688b954 | 3503 | |
ebb6e6d5 PH |
3504 | PH/34 Change 4.50/80 broke Exim in that it could no longer handle cases where |
3505 | the uid or gid is negative. A case of a negative gid caused this to be | |
3506 | noticed. The fix allows for either to be negative. | |
3507 | ||
9c4e8f60 PH |
3508 | PH/35 ACL_WHERE_MIME is now declared unconditionally, to avoid too much code |
3509 | clutter, but the tables that are indexed by ACL_WHERE_xxx values had been | |
3510 | overlooked. | |
3511 | ||
3512 | PH/36 The change PH/12 above was broken. Fixed it. | |
3513 | ||
d7174846 PH |
3514 | PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on |
3515 | the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the | |
3516 | same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no | |
3517 | longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous | |
3518 | routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies | |
3519 | went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's | |
3520 | behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given. | |
3521 | ||
3522 | I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete. | |
3523 | Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote | |
3524 | transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be | |
3525 | done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are | |
3526 | presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance. | |
3527 | ||
3528 | For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking | |
3529 | still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be | |
3530 | routed further. | |
3531 | ||
cfe75fc3 PH |
3532 | PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner. |
3533 | It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The | |
3534 | background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a | |

3541 | PH/40 The value set for $authenticated_id in an authenticator may not contain |
3542 | binary zeroes or newlines because the value is written to log lines and | |
3543 | to spool files. There was no check on this. Now the value is run through | |
3544 | the string_printing() function so that such characters are converted to | |
3545 | printable escape sequences. | |

3547 | PH/41 $message_linecount is a new variable that contains the total number of |

3551 | PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in |
3552 | bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which | |
3553 | are as follows: | |
3554 | ||
3555 | (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host; | |
3556 | (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection; | |
3557 | (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter; | |
3558 | (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router; | |
3559 | (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option. | |
3560 | ||
3561 | In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and | |
3562 | warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such | |
3563 | as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given. | |
3564 | ||

3571 | PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe |
3572 | process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while | |
3573 | writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a | |
3574 | successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For | |
3575 | consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now | |
3576 | treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However, | |
3577 | there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called | |
3578 | timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for | |
3579 | both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in | |
3580 | the log output. | |

3582 | PH/46 The "scripts/Configure-config.h" script calls "make" at one point. On |
3583 | systems where "make" and "gmake" are different, calling "gmake" at top | |

3585 | from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of | |
3586 | "make". | |

3589 | A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50 |
3590 | ---------------------------------------- | |
3591 | ||
3592 | Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of | |
3593 | changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was | |
3594 | needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially | |
3595 | in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes | |
3596 | that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance | |
3597 | release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start | |
3598 | from 4.43. | |
3599 | ||
3600 | I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since | |
3601 | 4.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to | |
3602 | those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the | |
3603 | historical information. | |
3604 | ||
3605 | ||
f7b63901 | 3606 | Exim version 4.50 |
495ae4b0 PH |
3607 | ----------------- |
3608 | ||
5fe762f6 PH |
3609 | 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file. |
3610 | ||
139059f6 | 3611 | 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the |
5fe762f6 | 3612 | computation of the current number of files was incorrect. |
495ae4b0 | 3613 | |
7086e875 PH |
3614 | 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The |
3615 | bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in | |
3616 | place. | |
3617 | ||
35af9f61 PH |
3618 | 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport |
3619 | filter fails to execute. | |
3620 | ||
b668c215 PH |
3621 | 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a |
3622 | subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This | |
3623 | was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is | |
3624 | now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport | |
3625 | filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports. | |
3626 | ||
a494b1e1 PH |
3627 | 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option. |
3628 | ||
3629 | 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file | |
3630 | descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value | |
3631 | unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these | |
3632 | systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256. | |
35edf2ff | 3633 | |
c5fcb476 PH |
3634 | 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This |
3635 | was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra | |
3636 | controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of | |
3637 | "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a | |
3638 | control that does not make sense is encountered. | |
3639 | ||
69358f02 PH |
3640 | 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission". |
3641 | ||
5be20824 PH |
3642 | 10. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight). |
3643 | ||
eb2c0248 PH |
3644 | 11. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message |
3645 | received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup | |
3646 | failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a | |
3647 | cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on. | |
3648 | ||
2a3eea10 PH |
3649 | 12. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value |
3650 | of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the | |
3651 | sender verification. | |
3652 | ||
3653 | 13. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in | |
3654 | $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement. | |
3655 | ||
23c7ff99 PH |
3656 | 14. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router. |
3657 | ||
4deaf07d PH |
3658 | 15. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different |
3659 | connection timeout. | |
3660 | ||
926e1192 PH |
3661 | 16. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0 |
3662 | was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.) | |
3663 | ||
650edc6f PH |
3664 | 17. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from |
3665 | the spool by the -Mrm option. | |
3666 | ||
2c7db3f5 PH |
3667 | 18. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain |
3668 | information about exactly what failed. | |
3669 | ||
3d235903 PH |
3670 | 19. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process. |
3671 | ||
7c7ad977 PH |
3672 | 20. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it |
3673 | handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the | |
3674 | CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility). | |
3675 | ||
981756db PH |
3676 | 21. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp". |
3677 | It is now set to "smtps". | |
3678 | ||
d4eb88df PH |
3679 | 22. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of |
3680 | ignore_target_hosts. | |
3681 | ||
3682 | 23. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was | |
3683 | being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if | |
3684 | matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely, | |
3685 | since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as | |
3686 | "[x.x.x.x]". | |
3687 | ||
7d468ab8 PH |
3688 | 24. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the |
3689 | code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in | |
3690 | modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug. | |
3691 | ||
3692 | 25. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore | |
3693 | SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to | |
3694 | wake it up if nothing else does. | |
3695 | ||
62c0818f PH |
3696 | 26. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values |
3697 | for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result. | |
3698 | The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount | |
3699 | end up negative. | |
3700 | ||
26034054 PH |
3701 | 27. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this |
3702 | support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H. | |
3703 | ||
af66f652 PH |
3704 | 28. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore. |
3705 | ||
90af77f4 PH |
3706 | 29. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty |
3707 | subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an | |
3708 | empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong | |
3709 | because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a | |
3710 | database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are | |
3711 | lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to | |
3712 | contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty | |
3713 | address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty. | |
3714 | ||
d8ef3577 PH |
3715 | 30. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the |
3716 | host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more | |
3717 | than one IP address. | |
3718 | ||
5cb8cbc6 PH |
3719 | 31. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a |
3720 | function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former | |
3721 | is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space, | |
3722 | $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes. | |
3723 | ||
14702f5b PH |
3724 | 32. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings |
3725 | such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for | |
3726 | encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and | |
3727 | generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I | |
3728 | have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from | |
3729 | 1024 to 2048 bytes. | |
3730 | ||
063b1e99 PH |
3731 | 33. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the |
3732 | condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string | |
3733 | is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less | |
3734 | cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions. | |
3735 | ||
652e1b65 PH |
3736 | 34. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if |
3737 | there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now | |
3738 | respected. | |
3739 | ||
6f0c9a4f PH |
3740 | 35. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the |
3741 | canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in | |
3742 | $sender_host_address. | |
3743 | ||
33397d19 PH |
3744 | 36. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to |
3745 | "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible | |
3746 | that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up | |
3747 | for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's | |
3748 | per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems | |
3749 | very small. | |
3750 | ||
7bb56e1f PH |
3751 | 37. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways. |
3752 | ||
3753 | (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it | |
3754 | finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care. | |
3755 | ||
ea3bc19b PH |
3756 | (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns |
3757 | just the host names, not the priorities. | |
3758 | ||
3759 | (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be | |
ff4dbb19 PH |
3760 | looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be |
3761 | controlled by a keyword. | |
7bb56e1f | 3762 | |
ea3bc19b | 3763 | (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when |
7bb56e1f | 3764 | multiple records are returned. |
33397d19 | 3765 | |
0bcb2a0e PH |
3766 | 38. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply |
3767 | a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS | |
3768 | domain. | |
3769 | ||
2ac0e484 PH |
3770 | 39. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall. |
3771 | ||
4e1fde53 PH |
3772 | 40. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a |
3773 | delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output. | |
3774 | ||
de365ded PH |
3775 | 41. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails |
3776 | to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name | |
3777 | of the failing file when there is a problem reading it. | |
3778 | ||
f05da2e8 PH |
3779 | 42. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run. |
3780 | ||
d6453af2 PH |
3781 | 43. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity. |
3782 | ||
f7b63901 PH |
3783 | 44. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source. |
3784 | ||
3785 | 45. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get | |
3786 | transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active | |
3787 | < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the | |
3788 | introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare | |
3789 | because the tests only now provoked it. | |
3790 | ||
a444213a PH |
3791 | 46. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed |
3792 | (this can affect the format of dates). | |
3793 | ||
0ec020ea PH |
3794 | 47. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for |
3795 | which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding | |
3796 | messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was | |
3797 | deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence. | |
3798 | ||
b1206957 PH |
3799 | 48. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats. |
3800 | ||
3801 | 49. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving | |
3802 | on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail, | |
3803 | contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it | |
3804 | was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified. | |
3805 | ||
26dd5a95 PH |
3806 | 50. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal |
3807 | (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256, | |
3808 | AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128. | |
3809 | ||
343b2385 PH |
3810 | 51. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an |
3811 | autoreply. | |
3812 | ||
1c5466b9 PH |
3813 | 52. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be |
3814 | recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back | |
3815 | as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by | |
3816 | increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that | |
3817 | happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I | |
3818 | have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what | |
3819 | is going on). | |
3820 | ||
55ee9ee3 PH |
3821 | 53. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if |
3822 | the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep | |
3823 | was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in | |
3824 | the line. | |
3825 | ||
d38f8232 PH |
3826 | 54. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A |
3827 | patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to | |
3828 | create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote: | |
3829 | ||
3830 | "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with | |
3831 | Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one | |
3832 | Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code | |
3833 | of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. | |
3834 | But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result, | |
3835 | so I produce this patch..." | |
3836 | ||
3295e65b PH |
3837 | Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ |
3838 | REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro | |
3839 | is not defined. | |
3840 | ||
7102e136 PH |
3841 | 55. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The |
3842 | keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The | |
b975ba52 PH |
3843 | dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it |
3844 | leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses. | |
ea3a6f44 | 3845 | CAN-2005-0021 |
7102e136 | 3846 | |
3ca0ba97 PH |
3847 | 56. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP. |
3848 | ||
c2bcbe20 PH |
3849 | 57. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very |
3850 | long debug lines gets shown. | |
3851 | ||
18ce445d PH |
3852 | 58. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep |
3853 | exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02... | |
3854 | ||
1f5b4c3d PH |
3855 | 59. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option: |
3856 | ||
3857 | (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable. | |
3858 | (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead | |
3859 | of $primary_hostname. | |
3860 | ||
b975ba52 PH |
3861 | 60. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known |
3862 | to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was | |
3863 | not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies | |
3864 | if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked | |
85b87bc2 PH |
3865 | from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8 |
3866 | components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed | |
3867 | by change 4.50/55 above. | |
3868 | ||
3869 | If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton() | |
3870 | itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that | |
3871 | data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as | |
3872 | exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could | |
3873 | find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is | |
3874 | running as the user. | |
ea3a6f44 | 3875 | CAN-2005-0021 |
85b87bc2 PH |
3876 | |
3877 | 61. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code | |
3878 | (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the | |
3879 | spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it. | |

b975ba52 | 3881 | |
17ffcae7 PH |
3882 | 62. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and |
3883 | os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD. | |
3884 | ||
d95f9fdb PH |
3885 | 63. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that |
3886 | need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when | |
3887 | deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is | |
3888 | necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec | |
3889 | when deliver_drop_privilege is set. | |
3890 | ||
86b8287f PH |
3891 | 64. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs. |
3892 | This has been fixed. | |
3893 | ||
60dc5e56 PH |
3894 | 65. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list |
3895 | was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool; | |
3896 | consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same | |
3897 | SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked | |
3898 | the caching.) | |
3899 | ||
533244af PH |
3900 | 66. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50. |
3901 | ||
a5a28604 PH |
3902 | 67. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP |
3903 | address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of | |
3904 | the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to | |
3905 | work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code. | |
3906 | ||
7e634d24 PH |
3907 | 68. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those |
3908 | with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly. | |
3909 | ||
3e11c26b PH |
3910 | 69. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with |
3911 | negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers | |
3912 | apparently mutter when there is no cast. | |
3913 | ||
6729cf78 PH |
3914 | 70. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a |
3915 | user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was | |
3916 | put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system | |
3917 | message there. | |
3918 | ||
00f00ca5 PH |
3919 | 71. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP |
3920 | session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except | |
3921 | that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does. | |
3922 | ||
c9bdd01c PH |
3923 | 72. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command. |
3924 | This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization | |
3925 | error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization | |
3926 | check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout. | |
3927 | ||
d43194df PH |
3928 | 73. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs |
3929 | during host lookups. | |
3930 | ||
fe5b5d0b PH |
3931 | 74. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used |
3932 | when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case: | |
3933 | ||
3934 | verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok | |
3935 | ||
76a2d7ba PH |
3936 | 75. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that |
3937 | those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything | |
3938 | wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it | |
3939 | could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens | |
3940 | stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the | |
3941 | background. | |
3942 | ||
3943 | 76. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main | |
3944 | log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic. | |
3945 | ||
04f7d5b9 PH |
3946 | 77. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to |
3947 | the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or | |
3948 | for the non-SMTP ACL. | |
3949 | ||
bc60667e PH |
3950 | 78. Error message wording change in sieve.c. |
3951 | ||
bb6e88ff PH |
3952 | 79. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be |
3953 | restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up | |
3954 | a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous | |
3955 | connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done | |
3956 | earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something | |
3957 | else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed | |
3958 | process earlier. | |
3959 | ||
1e70f85b PH |
3960 | 80. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one |
3961 | or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable. | |
3962 | It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A | |
3963 | related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became | |
3964 | illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part. | |
3965 | ||
3966 | 81. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top | |
3967 | tables). | |
3968 | ||
4e01f9d6 PH |
3969 | 82. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith. |
3970 | ||
1ee1cef2 PH |
3971 | 83. Patch from Sieve maintainer to fix unterminated string problem in |
3972 | "vacation" handling. | |
3973 | ||
6e2b4ccc PH |
3974 | 84. Some minor changes to the Linux configuration files to help with other |
3975 | OS variants using glibc. | |
3976 | ||
8e669ac1 PH |
3977 | 85. One more patch for Sieve to update vacation handling to latest spec. |

3980 | ---------------------------------------------------- |
3981 | See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases. | |
3982 | ---------------------------------------------------- | |
3983 | ||
3984 | ||
3985 | Exim version 4.44 | |
3986 | ----------------- | |
3987 | ||
3988 | 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be | |
3989 | incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile | |
3990 | transport | |
3991 | ||
3992 | 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The | |
3993 | bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in | |
3994 | place. | |
3995 | ||
3996 | 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport | |
3997 | filter fails to execute. | |
3998 | ||
3999 | 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a | |
4000 | subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This | |
4001 | was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is | |
4002 | now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport | |
4003 | filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports. | |
4004 | ||
4005 | 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file | |
4006 | descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value | |
4007 | unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these | |
4008 | systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256. | |
4009 | ||
4010 | 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This | |
4011 | was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra | |
4012 | controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of | |
4013 | "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a | |
4014 | control that does not make sense is encountered. | |
4015 | ||
4016 | 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight). | |
4017 | ||
4018 | 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message | |
4019 | received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup | |
4020 | failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a | |
4021 | cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on. | |
4022 | ||
4023 | 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value | |
4024 | of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the | |
4025 | sender verification. | |
4026 | ||
4027 | 10. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0 | |
4028 | was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.) | |
4029 | ||
4030 | 11. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from | |
4031 | the spool by the -Mrm option. | |
4032 | ||
4033 | 12. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of | |
4034 | ignore_target_hosts. | |
4035 | ||
4036 | 13. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was | |
4037 | being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if | |
4038 | matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely, | |
4039 | since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as | |
4040 | "[x.x.x.x]". | |
4041 | ||
4042 | 14. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the | |
4043 | code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in | |
4044 | modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug. | |
4045 | ||
4046 | 15. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore | |
4047 | SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to | |
4048 | wake it up if nothing else does. | |
4049 | ||
4050 | 16. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values | |
4051 | for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result. | |
4052 | The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount | |
4053 | end up negative. | |
4054 | ||
4055 | 17. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this | |
4056 | support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H. | |
4057 | ||
ea3a6f44 | 4058 | 18. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore. |
bbe902f0 PH |
4059 | |
4060 | 19. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list. | |
4061 | Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an | |
4062 | empty pattern. | |
4063 | ||
4064 | 20. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the | |
4065 | host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than | |
4066 | one IP address. | |
4067 | ||
ea3a6f44 NM |
4068 | 21. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings |
4069 | such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for | |
4070 | encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and | |
4071 | generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I | |
4072 | have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from | |
4073 | 1024 to 2048 bytes. | |
bbe902f0 | 4074 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4075 | 22. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if |
4076 | there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now | |
4077 | respected. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4078 | |
4079 | 23. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the | |
4080 | canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in | |
4081 | $sender_host_address. | |
4082 | ||
4083 | 24. Updated eximstats to version 1.33 | |
4084 | ||
ea3a6f44 NM |
4085 | 25. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails |
4086 | to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name | |
4087 | of the failing file when there is a problem reading it. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4088 | |
4089 | 26. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files. | |
ea3a6f44 | 4090 | As per change 25. |
bbe902f0 | 4091 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4092 | 27. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed |
4093 | (this can affect the format of dates). | |
bbe902f0 | 4094 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4095 | 28. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for |
4096 | which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding | |
4097 | messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was | |
4098 | deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4099 | |
4100 | 29. eximstats updated to version 1.35 | |
4101 | 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines | |
4102 | 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly | |
4103 | ||
ea3a6f44 NM |
4104 | 30. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving |
4105 | on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail, | |
4106 | contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it | |
4107 | was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified. | |
bbe902f0 | 4108 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4109 | 31. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal |
4110 | (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256, | |
4111 | AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128. | |
bbe902f0 | 4112 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4113 | 31. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an |
4114 | autoreply. | |
bbe902f0 | 4115 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4116 | 32. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be |
4117 | recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back | |
4118 | as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by | |
4119 | increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that | |
4120 | happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I | |
4121 | have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what | |
4122 | is going on). | |
bbe902f0 | 4123 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4124 | 33. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The |
4125 | keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The | |
4126 | dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it | |
4127 | leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4128 | CAN-2005-0021 |
4129 | ||
ea3a6f44 NM |
4130 | 34. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known |
4131 | to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was | |
4132 | not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies | |
4133 | if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked | |
4134 | from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8 | |
4135 | components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed | |
4136 | by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above. | |
4137 | ||
4138 | If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton() | |
4139 | itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that | |
4140 | data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as | |
4141 | exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could | |
4142 | find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is | |
4143 | running as the user. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4144 | CAN-2005-0021 |
4145 | ||
ea3a6f44 NM |
4146 | 35. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code |
4147 | (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the | |
4148 | spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4149 | CAN-2005-0022 |
4150 | ||
ea3a6f44 NM |
4151 | 36. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that |
4152 | need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when | |
4153 | deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is | |
4154 | necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec | |
4155 | when deliver_drop_privilege is set. | |
bbe902f0 | 4156 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4157 | 37. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list |
4158 | was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool; | |
4159 | consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same | |
4160 | SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked | |
4161 | the caching.) | |
bbe902f0 | 4162 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4163 | 38. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get |
4164 | transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active | |
4165 | < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the | |
4166 | introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare | |
4167 | because the tests only now provoked it. | |

4170 | Exim version 4.43 |
4171 | ----------------- | |
4172 | ||
4173 | 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before | |
4174 | PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE. | |
4175 | Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F | |
4176 | return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations, | |
4177 | which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write | |
4178 | failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending | |
4179 | messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts. | |
4180 | ||
4181 | 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted | |
4182 | message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing | |
4183 | the delivery. | |
4184 | ||
4185 | 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option. | |
4186 | ||
4187 | 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router. | |
4188 | ||
4189 | 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(), | |
4190 | header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them | |
4191 | to local_scan(). | |
4192 | ||
4193 | 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already | |
4194 | inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it | |
4195 | was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if | |
4196 | there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could | |
4197 | be inserted if Exim was badly configured. | |
4198 | ||
4199 | 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all | |
4200 | the Received: headers, as well as at the end. | |
4201 | ||
4202 | 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code. | |
4203 | ||
4204 | 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option. | |
4205 | ||
4206 | 10. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify= | |
4207 | header_sender only. | |
4208 | ||
4209 | 11. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors | |
4210 | (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}). | |
4211 | ||
4212 | 12. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer | |
4213 | differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly | |
4214 | affecting debugging statements). | |
4215 | ||
4216 | 13. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded). | |
4217 | ||
4218 | 14. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the | |
4219 | same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the | |
4220 | same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message | |
4221 | remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner | |
4222 | would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but | |
4223 | after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then | |
4224 | bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error; | |
4225 | in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick | |
4226 | after the received time, and all would be well. | |
4227 | ||
4228 | 15. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not | |
4229 | being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain | |
4230 | condition in an expansion string. | |
4231 | ||
4232 | 16. Added the ${str2b64: operator. | |
4233 | ||
4234 | 17. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of | |
4235 | processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already | |
4236 | adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore, | |
4237 | errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are | |
4238 | logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its | |
4239 | job under whatever limits there are. | |
4240 | ||
4241 | 18. Imported PCRE 5.0. | |
4242 | ||
4243 | 19. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading | |
4244 | space). | |
4245 | ||
4246 | 20. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was | |
4247 | redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed | |
4248 | that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this | |
4249 | case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no | |
4250 | return path is set. | |
4251 | ||
4252 | 21. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading | |
4253 | a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge | |
4254 | string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for | |
4255 | binary data in such strings. | |
4256 | ||
4257 | 22. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM). | |
4258 | ||
4259 | 23. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the | |
4260 | uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default | |
4261 | setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final | |
4262 | failure, which is pointless. | |
4263 | ||
4264 | 24. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports. | |
4265 | ||
4266 | 25. Implemented acl_smtp_predata. | |
4267 | ||
4268 | 26. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the | |
4269 | authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or | |
4270 | Sender: header lines. | |
4271 | ||
4272 | 27. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added | |
4273 | definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename, | |
4274 | chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin. | |
4275 | ||
4276 | 28. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it | |
4277 | does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for | |
4278 | long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog | |
4279 | errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems | |
4280 | much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now | |
4281 | happens. | |
4282 | ||
4283 | 29. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it | |
4284 | has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is | |
4285 | so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However, | |
4286 | there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write | |
4287 | log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards. | |
4288 | ||
4289 | 30. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote | |
4290 | delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of | |
4291 | the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to | |
4292 | 1024. | |
4293 | ||
4294 | 31. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a | |
4295 | specific sender, in particular, an empty sender. | |
4296 | ||
4297 | 32. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes | |
4298 | it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced. | |
4299 | ||
4300 | 33. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part". | |
4301 | ||
4302 | 32. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog. | |
4303 | ||
4304 | 33. Added an ACL for QUIT. | |
4305 | ||
4306 | 34. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a | |
4307 | syntax error. | |
4308 | ||
4309 | 35. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile. | |
4310 | ||
4311 | 36. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs. | |
4312 | ||
4313 | 37. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick | |
4314 | in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such | |
4315 | that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond | |
4316 | fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less). | |
4317 | ||
4318 | 38. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on | |
4319 | FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported). | |
4320 | ||
4321 | ||
4322 | Exim version 4.42 | |
4323 | ----------------- | |
4324 | ||
4325 | 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the | |
4326 | quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically: | |
4327 | (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace, | |
4328 | it was not quoted. | |
4329 | (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e. | |
4330 | tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted. | |
4331 | This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a | |
4332 | separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix | |
4333 | should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but | |
4334 | since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code. | |
4335 | ||
4336 | 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no | |
4337 | reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout | |
4338 | verification failure". | |
4339 | ||
4340 | 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long | |
4341 | return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby | |
4342 | overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I | |
4343 | have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this). | |
4344 | ||
4345 | 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives | |
4346 | when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim | |
4347 | restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout. | |
4348 | This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron | |
4349 | job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select() | |
4350 | timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never | |
4351 | kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the | |
4352 | time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call | |
4353 | to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is | |
4354 | treated as a timeout. | |
4355 | ||
4356 | 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve | |
4357 | extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a | |
4358 | separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is | |
4359 | not set for Exim filters). | |
4360 | ||
4361 | 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the | |
4362 | local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not | |
4363 | quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @. | |
4364 | ||
4365 | 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files. | |
4366 | ||
4367 | 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to | |
4368 | try to make them clearer. | |
4369 | ||
4370 | 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when | |
4371 | verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using | |
4372 | ||
4373 | verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache | |
4374 | ||
4375 | the cache was (incorrectly) being used. | |
4376 | ||
4377 | 10. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects | |
4378 | only the Cygwin environment. | |
4379 | ||
4380 | 11. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote | |
4381 | addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel | |
4382 | remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged. | |
4383 | (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from | |
4384 | the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.) | |
4385 | ||
4386 | 12. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header | |
4387 | lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol" | |
4388 | field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any | |
4389 | indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and | |
4390 | uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is | |
4391 | encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These | |
4392 | names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines. | |
4393 | ||
4394 | 13. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation" | |
4395 | extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs. | |
4396 | ||
4397 | 14. Changes to the "personal" filter test: | |
4398 | ||
4399 | (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of | |
4400 | "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was | |
4401 | anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for | |
4402 | ||
4403 | To: susanne@some.where | |
4404 | ||
4405 | This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn, | |
4406 | and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal" | |
4407 | are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts | |
4408 | of addresses in From: header lines). | |
4409 | ||
4410 | (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been | |
4411 | extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*", | |
4412 | taken from the Sieve specification recommendations. | |
4413 | ||
4414 | (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is | |
4415 | treated as non-personal. | |
4416 | ||
4417 | (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed | |
4418 | because it now seems ill-conceived. | |
4419 | ||
4420 | 15. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected. | |
4421 | ||
4422 | 16. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore. | |
4423 | ||
4424 | 17. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for | |
4425 | string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use | |
4426 | of string_sprintf() is now avoided. | |
4427 | ||
4428 | 18. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA | |
4429 | ACL and the local_scan() function. | |
4430 | ||
4431 | 19. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for | |
4432 | the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was | |
4433 | specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The | |
4434 | default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK | |
4435 | (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug | |
4436 | (I found it when inspecting the code). | |
4437 | ||
4438 | 20. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It | |
4439 | defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP | |
4440 | commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more | |
4441 | than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the | |
4442 | next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of | |
4443 | hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing | |
4444 | out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an | |
4445 | additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example: | |
4446 | ||
4447 | verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s | |
4448 | ||
4449 | 21. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks | |
4450 | to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer). | |
4451 | ||
4452 | 22. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and | |
4453 | subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its | |
4454 | memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO. | |
4455 | ||
4456 | 23. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now | |
4457 | records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not. | |
4458 | ||
4459 | 24. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being | |
4460 | formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int | |
4461 | rather than long int. | |
4462 | ||
4463 | 25. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer. | |
4464 | ||
4465 | 26. Added the never_mail option to autoreply. | |
4466 | ||
4467 | ||
4468 | Exim version 4.41 | |
4469 | ----------------- | |
4470 | ||
4471 | 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon | |
4472 | crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is | |
4473 | closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the | |
4474 | order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write | |
4475 | to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has | |
4476 | been fixed by making things happen in the correct order. | |
4477 | ||
4478 | ||
4479 | Exim version 4.40 | |
4480 | ----------------- | |
4481 | ||
4482 | 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed | |
4483 | before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response. | |
4484 | ||
4485 | 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for | |
4486 | some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where | |
4487 | socklen_t is defined. | |
4488 | ||
4489 | 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they | |
4490 | always exist. | |
4491 | ||
4492 | 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not | |
4493 | configured. | |
4494 | ||
4495 | 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so | |
4496 | that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub- | |
4497 | expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if | |
4498 | the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when | |
4499 | it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example). | |
4500 | ||
4501 | 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate | |
4502 | store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are | |
4503 | flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings. | |
4504 | This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources. | |
4505 | ||
4506 | 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount | |
4507 | of flapping under certain conditions. | |
4508 | ||
4509 | 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now | |
4510 | it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log | |
4511 | lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines. | |
4512 | ||
4513 | 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file. | |
4514 | ||
4515 | 10. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin. | |
4516 | ||
4517 | 11. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value | |
4518 | could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a | |
4519 | new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for | |
4520 | the duration of the SMTP connection. | |
4521 | ||
4522 | 12. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line | |
4523 | contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it | |
4524 | did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values | |
4525 | of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient | |
4526 | addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for | |
4527 | non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being | |
4528 | preserved with the message after it was received. | |
4529 | ||
4530 | 13. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log | |
4531 | "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of | |
4532 | the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different | |
4533 | strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated | |
4534 | its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my | |
4535 | test suite worked just fine. | |
4536 | ||
4537 | 14. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This | |
4538 | doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my", | |
4539 | which in any case is probably the better facility to use. | |
4540 | ||
4541 | 15. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating | |
4542 | error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format | |
4543 | string. | |
4544 | ||
4545 | 16. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased | |
4546 | from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups | |
4547 | for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it | |
4548 | does not fully solve it. | |
4549 | ||
4550 | 17. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the | |
4551 | buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same | |
4552 | action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases. | |
4553 | Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen; | |
4554 | sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed". | |
4555 | ||
4556 | 18. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was | |
4557 | using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process | |
4558 | crashed while trying to generate an error log message. | |
4559 | ||
4560 | 19. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single | |
4561 | string, for example: | |
4562 | ||
4563 | warn message = H1: something\nH2: something | |
4564 | ||
4565 | the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view | |
4566 | though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the | |
4567 | second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been | |
4568 | fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way, | |
4569 | the routers could not see them. | |
4570 | ||
4571 | 20. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to | |
4572 | suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list. | |
4573 | ||
4574 | 21. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in | |
4575 | ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is | |
4576 | output). | |
4577 | ||
4578 | 22. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in | |
4579 | particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building | |
4580 | a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused | |
4581 | incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character | |
4582 | that needed quoting. | |
4583 | ||
4584 | 23. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item | |
4585 | was not being matched caselessly. | |
4586 | ||
4587 | 24. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with | |
4588 | backslashes. | |
4589 | ||
4590 | 25. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job | |
4591 | properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include | |
4592 | the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more | |
4593 | callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key | |
4594 | when use_sender is false. | |
4595 | ||
4596 | 26. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs. | |
4597 | ||
4598 | 27. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers. | |
4599 | ||
4600 | 28. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records. | |
4601 | ||
4602 | 29. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for | |
4603 | the configuration file. | |
4604 | ||
4605 | 30. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose | |
4606 | (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible. | |
4607 | ||
4608 | 31. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts. | |
4609 | ||
4610 | 32. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero | |
4611 | bytes in the message body. | |
4612 | ||
4613 | 33. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the | |
4614 | "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir | |
4615 | delivery. | |
4616 | ||
4617 | 34. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei. | |
4618 | ||
4619 | 35. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists. | |
4620 | ||
4621 | 36. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if | |
4622 | IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6 | |
4623 | address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded | |
4624 | into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with | |
4625 | another IP address. | |
4626 | ||
4627 | ||
4628 | Exim version 4.34 | |
4629 | ----------------- | |
4630 | ||
4631 | 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of | |
4632 | hosts" instead of "hostlist". | |
4633 | ||
4634 | 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified | |
4635 | address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the | |
4636 | name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer | |
4637 | overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete | |
4638 | code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it! | |
4639 | ||
4640 | 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce | |
4641 | message to get a bit more predictability in the log output. | |
4642 | ||
4643 | 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In | |
4644 | theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_ | |
4645 | per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection. | |
4646 | ||
4647 | 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a | |
4648 | lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router | |
4649 | "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data. | |
4650 | ||
4651 | 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test | |
4652 | for routers. | |
4653 | ||
4654 | 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused | |
4655 | problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using | |
4656 | local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they | |
4657 | were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion). | |
4658 | I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the | |
4659 | body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they | |
4660 | are run, the timestamp in the header is updated. | |
4661 | ||
4662 | ||
4663 | Exim version 4.33 | |
4664 | ----------------- | |
4665 | ||
4666 | 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled | |
4667 | before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when | |
4668 | deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The | |
4669 | effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused | |
4670 | crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its | |
4671 | default (and expected) setting. | |
4672 | ||
4673 | 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming | |
4674 | message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root. | |
4675 | The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up | |
4676 | of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent. | |
4677 | ||
4678 | 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored | |
4679 | for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation. | |
4680 | ||
4681 | 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary | |
4682 | in domain lists. | |
4683 | ||
4684 | 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that | |
4685 | operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <> | |
4686 | for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original | |
4687 | (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it | |
4688 | wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the | |
4689 | sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten. | |
4690 | ||
4691 | 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router. | |
4692 | This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches | |
4693 | ignore_target_hosts, the router declines. | |
4694 | ||
4695 | 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_ | |
4696 | part (NOT match_host). | |
4697 | ||
4698 | 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set. | |
4699 | ||
4700 | 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race | |
4701 | condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The | |
4702 | issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed | |
4703 | after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock, | |
4704 | there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also | |
4705 | acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file | |
4706 | at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it | |
4707 | checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to | |
4708 | the same named file. | |
4709 | ||
4710 | 10. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes. | |
4711 | It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted | |
4712 | when Exim is built. | |
4713 | ||
4714 | 11. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made | |
4715 | to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is | |
4716 | not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses | |
4717 | that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain | |
4718 | a host name. | |
4719 | ||
4720 | 12. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup | |
4721 | defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is | |
4722 | processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted. | |
4723 | ||
4724 | 13. Added the iplsearch lookup type. | |
4725 | ||
4726 | 14. Added ident_timeout as a log selector. | |
4727 | ||
4728 | 15. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector. | |
4729 | ||
4730 | 16. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport | |
4731 | option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections. | |
4732 | ||
4733 | 17. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing | |
4734 | in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list | |
4735 | before starting the TLS session. | |
4736 | ||
4737 | 18. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output. | |
4738 | ||
4739 | 19. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when | |
4740 | bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines. | |
4741 | ||
4742 | 20. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included | |
4743 | a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the | |
4744 | first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a | |
4745 | colon in the middle). | |
4746 | ||
4747 | ||
4748 | Exim version 4.32 | |
4749 | ----------------- | |
4750 | ||
4751 | 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier | |
4752 | to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when | |
4753 | multiple configurations are in use. | |
4754 | ||
4755 | 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was | |
4756 | an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a | |
4757 | message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message | |
4758 | and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of | |
4759 | the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and | |
4760 | patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6. | |
4761 | ||
4762 | 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during | |
4763 | delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used. | |
4764 | ||
4765 | 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set | |
4766 | an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now | |
4767 | treated in the same way as a connect() failure. | |
4768 | ||
4769 | 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion | |
4770 | that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer | |
4771 | occurs. | |
4772 | ||
4773 | 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines | |
4774 | that used bh_ and bheader_. | |
4775 | ||
4776 | 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists. | |
4777 | ||
4778 | 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was | |
4779 | allowing one more file than it should have been. | |
4780 | ||
4781 | 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option | |
4782 | ||
4783 | -prval:sval | |
4784 | ||
4785 | is equivalent to | |
4786 | ||
4787 | -oMr rval -oMs sval | |
4788 | ||
4789 | and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The | |
4790 | host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set. | |
4791 | Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to | |
4792 | embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or | |
4793 | "s", but I don't think that's a major issue. | |
4794 | ||
4795 | 10. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect | |
4796 | Exim's behaviour: | |
4797 | ||
4798 | (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the | |
4799 | 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes: | |
4800 | those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are | |
4801 | only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in | |
4802 | separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again. | |
4803 | There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour. | |
4804 | ||
4805 | (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a | |
4806 | macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is | |
4807 | not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where | |
4808 | it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in | |
4809 | one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice | |
4810 | did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a | |
4811 | function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing | |
4812 | string. | |
4813 | ||
4814 | (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop | |
4815 | instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very | |
4816 | few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when | |
4817 | the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is | |
4818 | given if an attempt is made to use such a condition. | |
4819 | ||
4820 | 11. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}. | |
4821 | ||
4822 | 12. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly | |
4823 | from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being | |
4824 | subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice. | |
4825 | ||
4826 | 13. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time. | |
4827 | ||
4828 | 14. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up | |
4829 | "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data | |
4830 | unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more | |
4831 | information. | |
4832 | ||
4833 | 15. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in | |
4834 | the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts. | |
4835 | ||
4836 | 16. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined. | |
4837 | Three changes have been made: | |
4838 | ||
4839 | (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole | |
4840 | recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages | |
4841 | to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has | |
4842 | been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to | |
4843 | MAIL if the sender used is not empty. | |
4844 | ||
4845 | (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has | |
4846 | been restored. | |
4847 | ||
4848 | (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want | |
4849 | the modified behaviour. | |
4850 | ||
4851 | ||
4852 | Exim version 4.31 | |
4853 | ----------------- | |
4854 | ||
4855 | 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of | |
4856 | Larry Rosenman. | |
4857 | ||
4858 | 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and | |
4859 | indeed breaks things for older releases. | |
4860 | ||
4861 | 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data | |
4862 | from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to | |
4863 | try to track down a specific problem. | |
4864 | ||
4865 | 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting | |
4866 | to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes | |
4867 | getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout. | |
4868 | ||
4869 | 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler | |
4870 | warning. | |
4871 | ||
4872 | 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the | |
4873 | fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now | |
4874 | configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but | |
4875 | can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and | |
4876 | Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but | |
4877 | some earlier ones do not. | |
4878 | ||
4879 | 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly. | |
4880 | ||
4881 | 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address | |
4882 | parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of | |
4883 | address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts | |
4884 | this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when | |
4885 | address literals are enabled, of course). | |
4886 | ||
4887 | 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux. | |
4888 | ||
4889 | 10. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f | |
4890 | encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only | |
4891 | by a command such as | |
4892 | ||
4893 | exim -f "" ... | |
4894 | ||
4895 | where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug. | |
4896 | ||
4897 | 11. Installed PCRE release 4.5. | |
4898 | ||
4899 | 12. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name | |
4900 | remained set. It is now erased. | |
4901 | ||
4902 | 13. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute | |
4903 | times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62). | |
4904 | ||
4905 | 14. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use | |
4906 | were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log | |
4907 | selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test, | |
4908 | but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL, | |
4909 | and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors. | |
4910 | In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not | |
4911 | actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an | |
4912 | appropriate error code. | |
4913 | ||
4914 | 15. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may | |
4915 | be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most | |
4916 | such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some | |
4917 | messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug | |
4918 | that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement | |
4919 | caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral. | |
4920 | ||
4921 | 16. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer | |
4922 | was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process | |
4923 | the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case. | |
4924 | ||
4925 | 17. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the | |
4926 | first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF | |
4927 | in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to | |
4928 | terminate the header. | |
4929 | ||
4930 | 18. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data | |
4931 | unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the | |
4932 | termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex. | |
4933 | ||
4934 | 19. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light | |
4935 | of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation | |
4936 | (4.30/29). In particular: | |
4937 | ||
4938 | . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is | |
4939 | imposed. | |
4940 | ||
4941 | . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt | |
4942 | to write a maildirsize file. | |
4943 | ||
4944 | . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in | |
4945 | the transport, the new value overrides. | |
4946 | ||
4947 | . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the | |
4948 | count. | |
4949 | ||
4950 | 20. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the | |
4951 | message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with | |
4952 | isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a | |
4953 | space or a tab. | |
4954 | ||
4955 | 21. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their | |
4956 | expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was | |
4957 | bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try | |
4958 | the fallback hosts. | |
4959 | ||
4960 | 22. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the | |
4961 | equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses | |
4962 | to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems. | |
4963 | ||
4964 | 23. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this | |
4965 | gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly", | |
4966 | using a union. | |
4967 | ||
4968 | 24. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems | |
4969 | (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar * | |
4970 | instead of char *, causing compiler failure. | |
4971 | ||
4972 | 25. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files. | |
4973 | ||
4974 | 26. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c. | |
4975 | ||
4976 | 27. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz"). | |
4977 | ||
4978 | 28. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers | |
4979 | contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions, | |
4980 | become corrupted. | |
4981 | ||
4982 | 29. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test | |
4983 | when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the | |
4984 | verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout | |
4985 | options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep | |
4986 | track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a | |
4987 | callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization. | |
4988 | The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be | |
4989 | too great. | |
4990 | ||
4991 | 30. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address | |
4992 | to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the | |
4993 | postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a | |
4994 | subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the | |
4995 | postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail, | |
4996 | incorrectly. | |
4997 | ||
4998 | 31. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however, | |
4999 | it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that | |
5000 | were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different | |
5001 | options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases | |
5002 | where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a | |
5003 | dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any | |
5004 | widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the | |
5005 | cached value only when the same options are set. | |
5006 | ||
5007 | 32. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution. | |
5008 | ||
5009 | 33. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other | |
5010 | than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an | |
5011 | Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for | |
5012 | the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each | |
5013 | wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out. | |
5014 | ||
5015 | 34: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not | |
5016 | maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and | |
5017 | it is clearly obsolete. | |
5018 | ||
5019 | 35. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp | |
5020 | transport. | |
5021 | ||
5022 | 36. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the | |
5023 | client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't | |
5024 | understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple | |
5025 | times. | |
5026 | ||
5027 | 37. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround. | |
5028 | Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature, | |
5029 | which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus | |
5030 | library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS, | |
5031 | disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect." | |
5032 | ||
5033 | 38. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could | |
5034 | lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file | |
5035 | size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just | |
5036 | as it does if it cannot open a log file. | |
5037 | ||
5038 | 39. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains | |
5039 | ||
5040 | CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE | |
5041 | ||
5042 | The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file | |
5043 | support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than | |
5044 | 2^31. | |
5045 | ||
5046 | 40. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for | |
5047 | instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup, | |
5048 | causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the | |
5049 | same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data | |
5050 | after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check | |
5051 | failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to | |
5052 | $localpart_data. | |
5053 | ||
5054 | 41. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given | |
5055 | with the -f command-line option. | |
5056 | ||
5057 | 42. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing | |
5058 | $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was | |
5059 | incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which | |
5060 | it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never | |
5061 | happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when | |
5062 | deliver_drop_privilege is set. | |
5063 | ||
5064 | 43. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon - | |
5065 | it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log | |
5066 | line. | |
5067 | ||
5068 | 44. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines | |
5069 | and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000 | |
5070 | bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to | |
5071 | say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to | |
5072 | 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have | |
5073 | also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk, | |
5074 | tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a | |
5075 | buffer is too small. | |
5076 | ||
5077 | 45. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in | |
5078 | lsearch lookups. Now it does. | |
5079 | ||
5080 | 46. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length | |
5081 | buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long, | |
5082 | thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong. | |
5083 | Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the | |
5084 | string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out | |
5085 | that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes | |
5086 | that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build | |
5087 | structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that | |
5088 | expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited. | |
5089 | ||
5090 | 47. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was | |
5091 | more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened | |
5092 | data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length. | |
5093 | ||
5094 | 48. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test | |
5095 | xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA | |
5096 | ACL"). | |
5097 | ||
5098 | 49. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally | |
5099 | replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement | |
5100 | no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed | |
5101 | at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is | |
5102 | to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line. | |
5103 | ||
5104 | 50. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of | |
5105 | messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed | |
5106 | by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on | |
5107 | large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order | |
5108 | is set. | |
5109 | ||
5110 | 51. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution. | |
5111 | ||
5112 | 52. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router. | |
5113 | ||
5114 | 53. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not | |
5115 | reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session. | |
5116 | ||
5117 | 54. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not | |
5118 | differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this | |
5119 | actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it. | |
5120 | ||
5121 | 55. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address | |
5122 | was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to | |
5123 | send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed | |
5124 | it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>. | |
5125 | (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.) | |
5126 | ||
5127 | 56. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the | |
5128 | target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the | |
5129 | qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are | |
5130 | inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must | |
5131 | be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a | |
5132 | target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These | |
5133 | two options are now turned off when doing these lookups. | |
5134 | ||
5135 | 57. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the | |
5136 | concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the | |
5137 | number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes, | |
5138 | which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is | |
5139 | to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing | |
5140 | the test of how many are available. | |
5141 | ||
5142 | 58. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is | |
5143 | remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a | |
5144 | message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written. | |
5145 | Howewer, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an | |
5146 | entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a | |
5147 | new message is started. | |
5148 | ||
5149 | 59. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the | |
5150 | debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set. | |
5151 | ||
5152 | 60. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use | |
5153 | of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1). | |
5154 | ||
5155 | 61. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming | |
5156 | connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and | |
5157 | isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error | |
5158 | is no long logged. | |
5159 | ||
5160 | 62. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and | |
5161 | die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that | |
5162 | on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is | |
5163 | included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error | |
5164 | for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a | |
5165 | protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a | |
5166 | failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down. | |
5167 | ||
5168 | 63. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This | |
5169 | makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted | |
5170 | from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be | |
5171 | interpreted as octal. | |
5172 | ||
5173 | 64. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global | |
5174 | setting. | |
5175 | ||
5176 | 65. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the | |
5177 | report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten, | |
5178 | Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new | |
5179 | copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.) | |
5180 | At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has | |
5181 | been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way. | |
5182 | ||
5183 | 66. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a | |
5184 | message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp | |
5185 | in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log | |
5186 | line. There are two side-effects of this change: | |
5187 | ||
5188 | (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the | |
5189 | logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because | |
5190 | it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message | |
5191 | that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected. | |
5192 | ||
5193 | (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header | |
5194 | is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this | |
5195 | is a bug fix. | |
5196 | ||
5197 | This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set | |
5198 | after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called. | |
5199 | ||
5200 | 67. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer. | |
5201 | ||
5202 | 68. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS | |
5203 | gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to | |
5204 | change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate, | |
5205 | which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty. | |
5206 | ||
5207 | 69. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL | |
5208 | gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any | |
5209 | supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate | |
5210 | supplied", which is not helpful. | |
5211 | ||
5212 | 70. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any | |
5213 | message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from | |
5214 | Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit. | |
5215 | ||
5216 | 71. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in | |
5217 | the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual | |
5218 | sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I | |
5219 | have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that | |
5220 | the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the | |
5221 | recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops, | |
5222 | since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>. | |
5223 | [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.] | |
5224 | ||
5225 | 72. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as | |
5226 | temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after | |
5227 | the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write | |
5228 | a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was | |
5229 | actually sending 8xx at this point.) | |
5230 | ||
5231 | 73. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when | |
5232 | the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the | |
5233 | middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA | |
5234 | ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration | |
5235 | error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer errror. The | |
5236 | incident is still logged to the main and panic logs. | |
5237 | ||
5238 | 74. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages | |
5239 | in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except | |
5240 | when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged. | |
5241 | ||
5242 | 75. Added write_rejectlog option. | |
5243 | ||
5244 | 76. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user | |
5245 | was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the | |
5246 | main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn | |
5247 | variables. | |
5248 | ||
5249 | 77. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector. | |
5250 | ||
5251 | 78. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred | |
5252 | when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's | |
5253 | retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to | |
5254 | be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an | |
5255 | occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue | |
5256 | longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was | |
5257 | forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem; | |
5258 | setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item. | |
5259 | ||
5260 | 79. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved | |
5261 | a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL | |
5262 | command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they | |
5263 | were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a | |
5264 | message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout. | |
5265 | ||
5266 | 80. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael | |
5267 | Haardt. | |
5268 | ||
5269 | 81. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following | |
5270 | conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server; | |
5271 | (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so | |
5272 | that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection | |
5273 | or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the | |
5274 | transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had | |
5275 | been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING | |
5276 | but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect | |
5277 | behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash. | |
5278 | ||
5279 | ||
5280 | Exim version 4.30 | |
5281 | ----------------- | |
5282 | ||
5283 | 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c | |
5284 | and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been | |
5285 | pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints). | |
5286 | ||
5287 | 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been | |
5288 | fixed. | |
5289 | ||
5290 | 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a | |
5291 | certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that | |
5292 | happened to be identical to the end of the original first string. | |
5293 | ||
5294 | 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host | |
5295 | name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating | |
5296 | systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the | |
5297 | "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty | |
5298 | string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an | |
5299 | empty string, assuming it had been canonicized. | |
5300 | ||
5301 | 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given | |
5302 | IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave | |
5303 | all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris. | |
5304 | However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the | |
5305 | DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given. | |
5306 | I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run | |
5307 | the Exim test suite. | |
5308 | ||
5309 | To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its | |
5310 | own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name. | |
5311 | If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that | |
5312 | addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found. | |
5313 | ||
5314 | This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_ | |
5315 | order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other | |
5316 | order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can | |
5317 | specify it in this variable. | |
5318 | ||
5319 | 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In | |
5320 | some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty | |
5321 | string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in | |
5322 | other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too. | |
5323 | ||
5324 | 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally | |
5325 | as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a | |
5326 | numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest | |
5327 | kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored. | |
5328 | ||
5329 | 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing | |
5330 | at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This | |
5331 | works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with | |
5332 | no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I | |
5333 | have added a single, blank menu entry in this case. | |
5334 | ||
5335 | 9. Added ${quote_local_part. | |
5336 | ||
5337 | 10. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when | |
5338 | they are logged. | |
5339 | ||
5340 | 11. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse | |
5341 | lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a | |
5342 | host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this | |
5343 | variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no | |
5344 | longer necessary for query-style lookups. | |
5345 | ||
5346 | 12. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to | |
5347 | have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed. | |
5348 | ||
5349 | 13. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the | |
5350 | version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message | |
5351 | to be output. Howeve, since Exim outputs its version number before the | |
5352 | error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by | |
5353 | always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root. | |
5354 | ||
5355 | 14. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance | |
5356 | against a later release with more variables having written the file. | |
5357 | ||
5358 | 15. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO. | |
5359 | Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts | |
5360 | this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front. | |
5361 | ||
5362 | 16. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the | |
5363 | OS/Makefile-Darwin file. | |
5364 | ||
5365 | 17. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied | |
5366 | only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF. | |
5367 | ||
5368 | 18. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode | |
5369 | variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int | |
5370 | to get rid of the compiler warning. | |
5371 | ||
5372 | 19. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when | |
5373 | ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set. | |
5374 | ||
5375 | 20. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However, | |
5376 | if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim | |
5377 | crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent) | |
5378 | transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance. | |
5379 | ||
5380 | 21. Added the -t option to exigrep. | |
5381 | ||
5382 | 22. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch, | |
5383 | wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_ | |
5384 | NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of | |
5385 | them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced. | |
5386 | ||
5387 | 23. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary. | |
5388 | ||
5389 | 24. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log | |
5390 | line; previously there was no indication of these. | |
5391 | ||
5392 | 25. Added .include_if_exists. | |
5393 | ||
5394 | 26. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for | |
5395 | Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some | |
5396 | versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people | |
5397 | do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is | |
5398 | not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to | |
5399 | sync a directory. This applies only to Linux. | |
5400 | ||
5401 | 27. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin. | |
5402 | ||
5403 | 28. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in | |
5404 | /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with | |
5405 | this. | |
5406 | ||
5407 | 29. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit). | |
5408 | ||
5409 | 30. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to | |
5410 | sender verification failures with (e.g.): | |
5411 | ||
5412 | 550 Verification failed for <xxx> | |
5413 | 550 Sender verify failed | |
5414 | ||
5415 | where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not | |
5416 | the final line of the response. | |
5417 | ||
5418 | 31. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired | |
5419 | limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for | |
5420 | all other user lookups. | |
5421 | ||
5422 | 32. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at | |
5423 | delivery time. | |
5424 | ||
5425 | 33. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when | |
5426 | expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this | |
5427 | resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the | |
5428 | result into an int without checking. | |
5429 | ||
5430 | 34. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules | |
5431 | did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears | |
5432 | to have been documented since at least releast 1.62. I have made it work. | |
5433 | ||
5434 | 35. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least | |
5435 | 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and | |
5436 | clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it | |
5437 | as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs. | |
5438 | ||
5439 | 36. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code | |
5440 | correctly. | |
5441 | ||
5442 | 37. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX, | |
5443 | timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX. | |
5444 | ||
5445 | 38. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten | |
5446 | to the empty sender. | |
5447 | ||
5448 | 39. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed | |
5449 | stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any | |
5450 | syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from | |
5451 | the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the | |
5452 | decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return | |
5453 | code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in | |
5454 | the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the | |
5455 | panic log. | |
5456 | ||
5457 | 40. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4 | |
5458 | connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as | |
5459 | just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates | |
5460 | it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being | |
5461 | used. | |
5462 | ||
5463 | 41. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now | |
5464 | says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument. | |
5465 | ||
5466 | 42. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log | |
5467 | timestamps. | |
5468 | ||
5469 | 43. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports, | |
5470 | and whether -tls-on-connect was used. | |
5471 | ||
5472 | 44. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded. | |
5473 | ||
5474 | 45. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being | |
5475 | silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic | |
5476 | logs. | |
5477 | ||
5478 | 46. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file | |
5479 | as soon as it is encountered. | |
5480 | ||
5481 | 47. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time. | |
5482 | ||
5483 | 48. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being | |
5484 | rewritten to "<>". | |
5485 | ||
5486 | 49. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also | |
5487 | recognizes a tab character. | |
5488 | ||
5489 | 50. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by | |
5490 | extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no | |
5491 | longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section | |
5492 | at the front about calling Exim under different names. | |
5493 | ||
5494 | 51. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files. | |
5495 | ||
5496 | 52. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to | |
5497 | crash. | |
5498 | ||
5499 | 53. Installed eximstats 1.29. | |
5500 | ||
5501 | 54. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option. | |
5502 | ||
5503 | 55. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or | |
5504 | Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC | |
5505 | 2822. | |
5506 | ||
5507 | 56. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any | |
5508 | incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the | |
5509 | message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host | |
5510 | address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent- | |
5511 | lines rather than the non-Resent- lines. | |
5512 | ||
5513 | 57. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The | |
5514 | limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3. | |
5515 | ||
5516 | 58. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main | |
5517 | configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a | |
5518 | list (.included file names were always shown). | |
5519 | ||
5520 | 59. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems | |
5521 | for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it | |
5522 | setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not | |
5523 | root at that time. | |
5524 | ||
5525 | 60. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings | |
5526 | that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing. | |
5527 | ||
5528 | 61. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel. | |
5529 | ||
5530 | 62. Added $mailstore_basename variable. | |
5531 | ||
5532 | 63. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt. | |
5533 | ||
5534 | 64. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log, | |
5535 | the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug | |
5536 | output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it | |
5537 | was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the | |
5538 | failures to open the logs. | |
5539 | ||
5540 | 65. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is | |
5541 | possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to | |
5542 | provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured, | |
5543 | this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be | |
5544 | a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs | |
5545 | to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a | |
5546 | filter in a non-root, non-exim process. | |
5547 | ||
5548 | ||
5549 | Exim version 4.24 | |
5550 | ----------------- | |
5551 | ||
5552 | 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for | |
5553 | HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was | |
5554 | not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in | |
5555 | change 4.23/1. | |
5556 | ||
5557 | 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were | |
5558 | shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that | |
5559 | are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs. | |
5560 | ||
5561 | 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not | |
5562 | have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line. | |
5563 | Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines. | |
5564 | ||
5565 | 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field | |
5566 | number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored, | |
5567 | causing some misleading effects. | |
5568 | ||
5569 | 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started | |
5570 | manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the | |
5571 | same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege. | |
5572 | ||
5573 | 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always | |
5574 | re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when | |
5575 | deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the | |
5576 | queue-runner function directly. | |
5577 | ||
5578 | ||
5579 | Exim version 4.23 | |
5580 | ----------------- | |
5581 | ||
5582 | 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of | |
5583 | HEADERS_CHARSET. | |
5584 | ||
5585 | 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being | |
5586 | ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it | |
5587 | was always written to the default place. | |
5588 | ||
5589 | 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during | |
5590 | incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming | |
5591 | connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it). | |
5592 | ||
5593 | 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly. | |
5594 | ||
5595 | 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks: | |
5596 | ||
5597 | (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can | |
5598 | be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option, | |
5599 | but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root". | |
5600 | ||
5601 | (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a | |
5602 | prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option | |
5603 | must start. | |
5604 | ||
5605 | (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege | |
5606 | is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without | |
5607 | it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege. | |
5608 | ||
5609 | (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D | |
5610 | command line option is disabled. | |
5611 | ||
5612 | 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just | |
5613 | like macro names defined in the configuration file. | |
5614 | ||
5615 | 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP. | |
5616 | ||
5617 | 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed. | |
5618 | ||
5619 | 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line, | |
5620 | the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it. | |
5621 | ||
5622 | 10. Incorporated PCRE 4.4. | |
5623 | ||
5624 | 11. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an | |
5625 | SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client | |
5626 | waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the | |
5627 | point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous | |
5628 | nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its | |
5629 | way, but not yet received, when the check is performed. | |
5630 | ||
5631 | 12. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY | |
5632 | on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to | |
5633 | timeout. | |
5634 | ||
5635 | 13. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was | |
5636 | unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer. | |
5637 | ||
5638 | 14. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir | |
5639 | was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo. | |
5640 | ||
5641 | 15. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it | |
5642 | received was valid base64. | |
5643 | ||
5644 | 16. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the | |
5645 | name of the variable that was being set. | |
5646 | ||
5647 | 17. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it. | |
5648 | ||
5649 | 18. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse | |
5650 | lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For | |
5651 | example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list. | |
5652 | Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been | |
5653 | looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains | |
5654 | empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1". | |
5655 | ||
5656 | 19. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator. | |
5657 | ||
5658 | 20. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service | |
5659 | nor realm was specified. | |
5660 | ||
5661 | 21. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the | |
5662 | error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP | |
5663 | connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary | |
5664 | errors are given to SMTP connections. | |
5665 | ||
5666 | 22. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands | |
5667 | (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was | |
5668 | failing to send a response to QUIT. | |
5669 | ||
5670 | 23. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts, | |
5671 | which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO | |
5672 | ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code. | |
5673 | ||
5674 | 24. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and | |
5675 | "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is | |
5676 | case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently | |
5677 | some systems use these upper case variants. | |
5678 | ||
5679 | 25. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport | |
5680 | filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the | |
5681 | same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non- | |
5682 | socket" when it tried to send the third. | |
5683 | ||
5684 | 26. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use. | |
5685 | ||
5686 | 27. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when | |
5687 | the OS had its own crypt16() function. | |
5688 | ||
5689 | 28. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit | |
5690 | as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an | |
5691 | expansion variable. | |
5692 | ||
5693 | 29. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1. | |
5694 | ||
5695 | 30. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule | |
5696 | for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses, | |
5697 | slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence | |
5698 | /../ is explicitly forbidden. | |
5699 | ||
5700 | 31. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before | |
5701 | using it. | |
5702 | ||
5703 | 32. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as | |
5704 | well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't | |
5705 | seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it. | |
5706 | ||
5707 | 33. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database. | |
5708 | However, I am unable to do any testing of this. | |
5709 | ||
5710 | 34. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories | |
5711 | for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally | |
5712 | using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing | |
5713 | would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48). | |
5714 | ||
5715 | 35. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its | |
5716 | contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded | |
5717 | recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.) | |
5718 | ||
5719 | 36. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty. | |
5720 | ||
5721 | 37. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for | |
5722 | some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it | |
5723 | could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number, | |
5724 | i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is | |
5725 | aborted. | |
5726 | ||
5727 | 38. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message | |
5728 | when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication. | |
5729 | This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message. | |
5730 | ||
5731 | 39. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions. | |
5732 | ||
5733 | 40. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be | |
5734 | accessed later in routers, transports, and filters. | |
5735 | ||
5736 | 41. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key | |
5737 | strings in the file are not string-expanded. | |
5738 | ||
5739 | 42. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an | |
5740 | int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are | |
5741 | now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one | |
5742 | day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around | |
5743 | when emails are that large. | |
5744 | ||
5745 | ||
5746 | ||
5747 | Exim version 4.22 | |
5748 | ----------------- | |
5749 | ||
5750 | 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that | |
5751 | iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD. | |
5752 | ||
5753 | 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with | |
5754 | IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from | |
5755 | the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c. | |
5756 | ||
5757 | 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an | |
5758 | argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a | |
5759 | typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments! | |
5760 | ||
5761 | 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction | |
5762 | of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for | |
5763 | at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is | |
5764 | almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is | |
5765 | unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.] | |
5766 | ||
5767 | 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a | |
5768 | second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the | |
5769 | timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short | |
5770 | and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension | |
5771 | never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for | |
5772 | ever. | |
5773 | ||
5774 | 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner | |
5775 | process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching | |
5776 | mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into | |
5777 | the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy | |
5778 | up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery | |
5779 | process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner | |
5780 | process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process | |
5781 | still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was | |
5782 | no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect | |
5783 | the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database, | |
5784 | the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to | |
5785 | see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection | |
5786 | unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups | |
5787 | in a queue runner before running a delivery process. | |
5788 | ||
5789 | 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't | |
5790 | seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've | |
5791 | parameterised it. | |
5792 | ||
5793 | 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators | |
5794 | *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an | |
5795 | error should be diagnosed. | |
5796 | ||
5797 | 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the | |
5798 | original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it | |
5799 | output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was | |
5800 | confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have | |
5801 | appeared instead of "NULL". | |
5802 | ||
5803 | 10. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim | |
5804 | user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root | |
5805 | privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition, | |
5806 | logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the | |
5807 | configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment | |
5808 | is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but | |
5809 | proceeds). | |
5810 | ||
5811 | However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well | |
5812 | be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case, | |
5813 | and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files. | |
5814 | ||
5815 | ||
5816 | Exim version 4.21 | |
5817 | ----------------- | |
5818 | ||
5819 | 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender | |
5820 | or receiver verification errors. | |
5821 | ||
5822 | 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public | |
5823 | name. | |
5824 | ||
5825 | 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first | |
5826 | delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held | |
5827 | for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time | |
5828 | the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it. | |
5829 | ||
5830 | 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor | |
5831 | bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that | |
5832 | the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always | |
5833 | operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This | |
5834 | shouldn't happen again. | |
5835 | ||
5836 | 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the | |
5837 | Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring | |
5838 | any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed. | |
5839 | ||
5840 | 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on | |
5841 | arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan(). | |
5842 | ||
5843 | 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector. | |
5844 | ||
5845 | 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it | |
5846 | was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO. | |
5847 | ||
5848 | 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other | |
5849 | ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the | |
5850 | RFC. | |
5851 | ||
5852 | 10. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main | |
5853 | daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection | |
5854 | count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect). | |
5855 | ||
5856 | 11. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the | |
5857 | outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes | |
5858 | the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass", | |
5859 | or "require"), the connection is dropped. | |
5860 | ||
5861 | 12. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL | |
5862 | that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb, | |
5863 | but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way | |
5864 | to define what should happen). | |
5865 | ||
5866 | 13. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines | |
5867 | are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file. | |
5868 | In particular, continuation lines are supported. | |
5869 | ||
5870 | 14. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature. | |
5871 | ||
5872 | 15. Added -ti meaning -t -i. | |
5873 | ||
5874 | 16. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist | |
5875 | domains, and warn by logging if others are found. | |
5876 | ||
5877 | 17. At least on BSD, alignment is not guarenteed for the array of ifreq's | |
5878 | returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on | |
5879 | a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned | |
5880 | structure in all cases. | |
5881 | ||
5882 | Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct | |
5883 | ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That | |
5884 | means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the | |
5885 | ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage). | |
5886 | ||
5887 | 18. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option. | |
5888 | An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal | |
5889 | domain name. | |
5890 | ||
5891 | 19. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log | |
5892 | if the ACL subsequently rejects the message. | |
5893 | ||
5894 | 20. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just | |
5895 | MD5 (which is deprecated). | |
5896 | ||
5897 | 21. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it | |
5898 | took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so | |
5899 | when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does. | |
5900 | ||
5901 | 22. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin | |
5902 | with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters | |
5903 | terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning. | |
5904 | ||
5905 | 23. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and | |
5906 | the book and for uniformity. | |
5907 | ||
5908 | 24. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item. | |
5909 | ||
5910 | 25. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport, | |
5911 | Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILBLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this | |
5912 | could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This | |
5913 | has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run | |
5914 | a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a | |
5915 | non-existent command as the problem. | |
5916 | ||
5917 | 26. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received: | |
5918 | header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but | |
5919 | marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.) | |
5920 | ||
5921 | 27. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option). | |
5922 | ||
5923 | 28. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon | |
5924 | code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with | |
5925 | ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure. | |
5926 | ||
5927 | 29. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the | |
5928 | equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C | |
5929 | program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of | |
5930 | timestamps using strftime(). | |
5931 | ||
5932 | 30. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable | |
5933 | complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this. | |
5934 | ||
5935 | 32. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during | |
5936 | transport-time rewrites. | |
5937 | ||
5938 | 33. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void | |
5939 | (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the | |
5940 | function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is | |
5941 | expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers. | |
5942 | ||
5943 | 34. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A | |
5944 | records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed. | |
5945 | ||
5946 | 35. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored | |
5947 | all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP | |
5948 | value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the | |
5949 | $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a | |
5950 | comma and a space. | |
5951 | ||
5952 | 36. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used | |
5953 | to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of | |
5954 | them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only | |
5955 | those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other | |
5956 | names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS | |
5957 | administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a | |
5958 | wildcarded host restriction in an ACL. | |
5959 | ||
5960 | 37. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of | |
5961 | the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command, | |
5962 | the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the | |
5963 | value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by | |
5964 | change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-( | |
5965 | ||
5966 | 38. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs. | |
5967 | Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim | |
5968 | left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've | |
5969 | reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break | |
5970 | point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one | |
5971 | that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the | |
5972 | remaining text gets split now. | |
5973 | ||
5974 | 39. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of | |
5975 | file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it. | |
5976 | It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and | |
5977 | that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it. | |
5978 | ||
5979 | 40. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_ | |
5980 | address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an | |
5981 | oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by | |
5982 | -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to | |
5983 | $return_path. | |
5984 | ||
5985 | 41. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the | |
5986 | log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the | |
5987 | conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the | |
5988 | messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This | |
5989 | no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_ | |
5990 | message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be | |
5991 | passed through if needed. | |
5992 | ||
5993 | 42. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a | |
5994 | new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset | |
5995 | translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV | |
5996 | indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to | |
5997 | translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and | |
5998 | "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file. | |
5999 | ||
6000 | 43. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim | |
6001 | that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead | |
6002 | of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047: | |
6003 | expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local | |
6004 | message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part. | |
6005 | ||
6006 | 44. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was | |
6007 | buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID | |
6008 | ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because | |
6009 | message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have | |
6010 | incorrect size information for certain domains. | |
6011 | ||
6012 | 45. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This | |
6013 | caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not | |
6014 | noticed. | |
6015 | ||
6016 | 46. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as | |
6017 | a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real | |
6018 | address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the | |
6019 | original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing | |
6020 | mayhem of various kinds. | |
6021 | ||
6022 | 47. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking | |
6023 | when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values | |
6024 | may legitimatetly be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do | |
6025 | the right test for positive values. | |
6026 | ||
6027 | 48. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up | |
6028 | in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they | |
6029 | appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not | |
6030 | all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a | |
6031 | change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening | |
6032 | of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was | |
6033 | trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally | |
6034 | caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain | |
6035 | twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the | |
6036 | casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message | |
6037 | envelope. | |
6038 | ||
6039 | 49. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed | |
6040 | module. | |
6041 | ||
6042 | 50. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if | |
6043 | no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not | |
6044 | forbidding it. | |
6045 | ||
6046 | 51. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to | |
6047 | the existing equality matching. | |
6048 | ||
6049 | 52. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was | |
6050 | dealing with inode numbers. | |
6051 | ||
6052 | 53. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is | |
6053 | TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable | |
6054 | called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value. | |
6055 | ||
6056 | 54. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so | |
6057 | additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an | |
6058 | smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection. | |
6059 | The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to | |
6060 | local_scan(). | |
6061 | ||
6062 | 55. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user" | |
6063 | has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router, | |
6064 | using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification | |
6065 | failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly, | |
6066 | the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable | |
6067 | relay addresses has also been removed. | |
6068 | ||
6069 | 56. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport. | |
6070 | ||
6071 | 57. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option | |
6072 | CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it | |
6073 | will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid. | |
6074 | ||
6075 | 58. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line | |
6076 | endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr | |
6077 | options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The | |
6078 | following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special | |
6079 | processing applies to CR: | |
6080 | ||
6081 | (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message, | |
6082 | nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator. | |
6083 | ||
6084 | (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added | |
6085 | after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning | |
6086 | behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either | |
6087 | to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games. | |
6088 | ||
6089 | 59. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window, | |
6090 | was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been. | |
6091 | This is a VOB (very old bug). | |
6092 | ||
6093 | 60. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has: | |
6094 | When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts, | |
6095 | the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded. | |
6096 | When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following | |
6097 | hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no | |
6098 | longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously | |
6099 | arisen. | |
6100 | ||
6101 | 61. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query | |
6102 | program routers. | |
6103 | ||
6104 | 62. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted: | |
6105 | header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and | |
6106 | is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two | |
6107 | possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim | |
6108 | adds: | |
6109 | ||
6110 | Auto-Submitted: auto-replied | |
6111 | ||
6112 | whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds | |
6113 | ||
6114 | Auto-Submitted: auto-generated | |
6115 | ||
6116 | 63. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the | |
6117 | Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it | |
6118 | not considered personal. | |
6119 | ||
6120 | 64. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option. | |
6121 | ||
6122 | 65. Added queue_only_override (default true). | |
6123 | ||
6124 | 66. Added the syslog_duplication option. | |
6125 | ||
6126 | 67. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of | |
6127 | a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line. | |
6128 | It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be | |
6129 | treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have | |
6130 | caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent | |
6131 | header lines, and spool format errors. | |
6132 | ||
6133 | 68. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the | |
6134 | client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL | |
6135 | for more flexibility. | |
6136 | ||
6137 | 69. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a | |
6138 | variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including | |
6139 | consulting and updating the callout cache. | |
6140 | ||
6141 | 70. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander | |
6142 | Sabourenkov. | |
6143 | ||
6144 | 71. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their | |
6145 | size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage". | |
6146 | Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception. | |
6147 | These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when | |
6148 | an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really | |
6149 | serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this | |
6150 | happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the | |
6151 | incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log | |
6152 | directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages. | |
6153 | ||
6154 | 72. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors | |
6155 | 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see | |
6156 | ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these | |
6157 | descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded, | |
6158 | causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null | |
6159 | got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and | |
6160 | bombs out if it can't open /dev/null. | |
6161 | ||
6162 | 73. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and | |
6163 | interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain | |
6164 | backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces. | |
6165 | ||
6166 | 74. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code | |
6167 | to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a | |
6168 | connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken | |
6169 | from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple | |
6170 | function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the | |
6171 | one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail | |
6172 | instead of killing the process with assert(). | |
6173 | ||
6174 | 75. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather | |
6175 | than Unicode encoding. | |
6176 | ||
6177 | 76. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in | |
6178 | the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted | |
6179 | NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now | |
6180 | forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid. | |
6181 | ||
6182 | 77. Added process_log_path. | |
6183 | ||
6184 | 78. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or | |
6185 | check_log_inodes was ignored. | |
6186 | ||
6187 | 79. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now | |
6188 | logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost... | |
6189 | ||
6190 | 80. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to | |
6191 | print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the | |
6192 | debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d. | |
6193 | ||
6194 | 81. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a | |
6195 | buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As | |
6196 | initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing | |
6197 | spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by | |
6198 | a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes | |
6199 | were applied: | |
6200 | ||
6201 | (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion. | |
6202 | (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected | |
6203 | as invalid. | |
6204 | ||
6205 | 82. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now | |
6206 | runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups, | |
6207 | they will be used during message reception. | |
6208 | ||
