8Exim version 4.90
9-----------------
10
11JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
12 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
13 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
14 pairs of long lines into single ones.
15

PP
16PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly
17 during configuration. Wildcards are allowed and expanded.

19JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.
20 This permits better logging.
21
875512a3
JH
22JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
23 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
24 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
25 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
26 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 27 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

30 identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect
31 "exiwhat" output.

37JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger
38 than 255 are no longer allowed.
39
7006ee24
JH
40JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
41 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
42 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
43 client, there is no benefit for these.
44 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
45 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
46 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
47 is used (3.2.4 +).

JH
52JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously
53 the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and
54 erroneously found still-pending ones.
55
4e910c01
JH
56JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support
57 MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections).
58
42055a33
JH
59JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a
60 transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for
61 creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
62 signature and again for transmission.
63
eeb35890
JH
64JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in
65 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit
7d758a6a 66 mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also.

JH
68JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
69 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
70 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
71 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
72 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
73 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
74 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
75
40525d07
JH
76JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
77 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
78 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 79 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
40525d07 80
f33875c3
PP
81PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
82 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
83 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
84 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
85 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
86 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
87 processing options.
88
a5ffa9b4
JH
89JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
90 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
91 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
92 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
93 connections.

PP
95PP/05 OpenSSL/1.1: use DH_bits() for more accurate DH param sizes. This
96 affects you only if you're dancing at the edge of the param size limits.
97 If you are, and this message makes sense to you, then: raise the
98 configured limit or use OpenSSL 1.1. Nothing we can do for older
99 versions.

255 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
256 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
257 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of

320JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
321 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
322 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
323 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
324 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
325 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
326 if one fails this test.
327 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
328 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1142TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1143
1144 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1145 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1146 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1147 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1148 the retry rules.
1149
1150 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1151 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1152 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1153
1154 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1155 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1156 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1157 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1158
1ddeb334
TF
1159 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1160 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1161 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1162 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1163 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1164 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1165 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1166

1176 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded

1490TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1491 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1492 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1493
1494 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1495 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1496 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1497 not safe for signals.
1498
1499 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1500 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1501 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1502 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1503 exiwhat.

c99ce5c9
TF
1505TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1506
1507 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1508 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1509 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1510 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1511 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1512
1513 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1514 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1515 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1516 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1517 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1518 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1519
1520 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1521 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1522 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1523 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1524
1525 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1526 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1527 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1528 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1529
1530 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1531 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1532 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1533 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1534 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1535 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1536 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1537 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1538 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1539
1540 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1541 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1542 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1543 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1544
1545 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1546 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1547 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1548 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1549 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1550 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1551 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1552 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses

2104 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
2105 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
2106 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
2107 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering

2125
2126PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2127
6a3bceb1
PH
2128PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2129 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2130 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2131 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2132 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2133 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2134 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2135 for iplsearch lookups.
2136
2137 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2138 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2139 previously such lookups could never work.
2140
4c04137d 2141 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2142 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2143 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2148MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2149 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2150 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2151 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2152 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2153 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2158MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2159 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2160 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2161 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2162 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2163 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2240 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than

PH
2346PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2347 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2348 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2349 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2350 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2351 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2352 pipelining has not been advertised.

2367 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2368 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

2408 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the

PH
2426 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2427 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2428 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2429 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2430 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2431 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2432 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2433 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2443
2444PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2445 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2446
2447 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2448 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2449
2450 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2451 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2452 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2453
2454 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2455 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2456 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2457 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2458 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2474 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2475 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2476 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2477 rather than extend the field.

2b1c6e3a
PH
2502PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2503 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2504 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2505 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2506 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2507 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2508 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2509 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2510 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2511 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2512 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2546PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2548 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2549 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2550 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2551 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2552 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2553 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2556 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2557 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2558 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2559 function.
2560 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2561 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2562 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2563 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2564 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2565 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2566 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2567 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2568 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2574 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2575 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2576 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2577 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2578 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2579 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2580 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2585
322050c2
PH
2586PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2587 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2588 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2589 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2590 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2591 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2592 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2593 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2594 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2595 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2596 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2597 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2598 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2600PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2601 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2602 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2603 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2604 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2605 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2606 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2608PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2609 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2610 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2611 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2612 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2613 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2614 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2615 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2616 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2617 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
2619PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2622 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2623 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2625PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2626 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2627 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2628 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2629 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2630 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2631 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2636 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2637 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2638 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2639 been verified.

2670
2671PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2672 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2673 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2674 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2675 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2676 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2677 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2678 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2679 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2680
2681 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2682 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2683 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2684 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2685 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2686 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2687 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2688 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2689 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.

PH
2714PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue

2716 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2717 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2718 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting

2719 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2720 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2721 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change

2995 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2996 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2997 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2998 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

3082 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3083 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3084 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3085 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3086 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3087 bounce message.

3104 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two

3118PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3119 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3120 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3121 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3122 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3123 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3124 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3125 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
3135PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3136 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3137 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3138 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3139 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3140 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3141 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3142 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3143 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3240PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3241 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3242 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3243 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3244 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3245 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3246 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3247 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3248 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3249 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3286
3287 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3288 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3289 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3290 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3291
3292 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3293 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3294 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3295
3296PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3297 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3298 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3299 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

3371 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3372 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3373 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3374 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3375 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3376 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3377 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3378 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3379 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3380 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3440 identical. For example:
3441
3442 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])

PH
3479 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of

3485 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3486
3487 The auto-replied keyword:
3488
3489 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3490 message by an automatic process,
3491

3494 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
3495 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),

3497 - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic

3535PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3536 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3537 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3538 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3539 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3540 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3541 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3542 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3543 the text comparison.
3544
96776534
PH
3545PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was

3875TK/05 Malware: Improve on aveserver error handling. Patch from Alex Miller.
3876
3877TK/06 MBOX spool code: Add real "From " MBOX separator line
3878 so the .eml file is really in mbox format (even though
3879 most programs do not really care). Patch from Alex Miller.
3880
3881TK/07 MBOX spool code: Add X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To: headers.
3882 The latter is generated from $received_to and is only set if the
3883 message has one envelope recipient. SA can use these headers,
3884 obviously out-of-the-box. Patch from Alex Miller.

3886PH/08 The ${def test on a variable was returning false if the variable's

3918PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11
3919 above was not the best (it lost precision). The length of off_t variables
3920 is now inspected at build time, and an appropriate printing format (%ld
c6c2dc1d
PH
3921 or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T
3922 to be "long long int" or "long int". This is needed for the internal
3923 formatting function string_vformat().

PH
3925PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in
3926 the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where
3927 the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our
3928 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
3929 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
3930 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim
3931 with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it
3932 falls back to the previous guessing code."

3941PH/18 If the "use_postmaster" option was set for a recipient callout together

3947 patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the

3949 and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and

3975PH/25 Put debug statements on either side of calls to EXIM_DBOPEN() for hints
3976 databases so that it will be absolutely obvious if a crash occurs in the

3981 chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were
3982 picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem
3983 to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be
3984 put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have
3985 set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due
3986 course.

PH
3988PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
3989 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
3990 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
3991 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
3992 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
3993 introduced by 4.51/PH/31.

PH
4003PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
4004 aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
4005 don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
4006 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
4007 record types that Exim uses.

PH
4009PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
4010 not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
4011 prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
4012 data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
4013 non-existent file that was broken.

4060
4061PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4062 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4063 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4064 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4065 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4066 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4067 file.
4068
4069PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4070 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4071 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4072 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4073 these two options.
4074
4075PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4076 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4077 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4078 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4079 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4080 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4081 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4082 address.
1a46a8c5
PH
4083
4084PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
4085 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
4086
4087PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4088 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4089 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4090 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4091 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4092 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4093
4094PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
4095 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH

4097 SMTP commands that take arguments.

PH
4144PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
4145 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
4146 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4147 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4148 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4149 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4150 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
4151 for failure.

PH
4153PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
4154 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
4155 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
4156 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4157 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
4158 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.

4169
c5ddb310
PH
4170PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4171 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4172 understands it better than I do:
4173
4174 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4175 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4176
4177 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4178 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4179 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4180 => three warnings about OTP not working
4181 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4182
4183 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4184 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4185 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4186 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4187 for each call.)
4188 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4189 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4190
4191 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4192 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4193 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

PH
4257PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4258 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4259 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4260 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4261 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4262 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4263 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4264
4265 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4266 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4267 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4268 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4269 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.

4271 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4272 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4273 routed further.

4275PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner.
4276 It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
4277 background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
4278 connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
4279 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
4280 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

4294PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
4295 bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
4296 are as follows:
4297
4298 (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
4299 (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
4300 (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
4301 (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
4302 (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
4303
4304 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
4305 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
4306 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

4314PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
4315 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
4316 writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
4317 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4318 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4319 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4320 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4321 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4322 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
4323 the log output.

4332A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4333----------------------------------------
4334
4335Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4336changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4337needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4338in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4339that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4340release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4341from 4.43.
4342
4343I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
43444.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4345those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4346historical information.

4352 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file.
4353
139059f6 4354 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the

4357 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The

4359 place.

4361 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport

PH
4364 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4365 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4366 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4367 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4368 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4369

PH
4370 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
4371
4372 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4373 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4374 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4375 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

4377 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4378 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4379 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4380 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4381 control that does not make sense is encountered.

439212. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4393 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4394 sender verification.

4397 $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.

PH
442222. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4423 ignore_target_hosts.
4424
442523. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4426 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4427 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4428 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4429 "[x.x.x.x]".
4430
7d468ab8
PH
443124. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4432 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4433 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4434
443525. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4436 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4437 wake it up if nothing else does.
4438
62c0818f
PH
443926. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4440 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4441 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4442 end up negative.
4443
26034054
PH
444427. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this

444728. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
4448
90af77f4
PH
444929. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4450 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4451 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4452 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4453 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4454 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4455 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4456 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
4457
d8ef3577
PH
445830. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
4459 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
4460 than one IP address.
4461
5cb8cbc6
PH
446231. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4463 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
4464 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
4465 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
4466
14702f5b
PH
446732. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4468 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4469 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4470 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4471 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4472 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4473
063b1e99
PH
447433. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4475 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4476 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4477 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4478
652e1b65
PH
447934. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4480 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4481 respected.
4482
6f0c9a4f
PH
448335. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4484 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4485 $sender_host_address.
4486
33397d19
PH
448736. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4488 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4489 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4490 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4491 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4492 very small.
4493
7bb56e1f
PH
449437. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
4495
4496 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
4497 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
4498
ea3bc19b
PH
4499 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
4500 just the host names, not the priorities.
4501
4502 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
4503 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
4504 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 4505
ea3bc19b 4506 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 4507 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 4508
0bcb2a0e
PH
450938. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
4510 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
4511 domain.

PH
451841. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails

4527
452845. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4529 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4530 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4531 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4532 because the tests only now provoked it.

453747. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for

4540 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.

4547 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.

PH
454950. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4550 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,

PH
455652. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4557 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4558 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4559 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4560 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4561 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4562 is going on).
4563
55ee9ee3
PH
456453. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
4565 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep

4567 the line.
4568

PH
456954. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
4570 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
4571 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
4572
4573 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
4574 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
4575 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
4576 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
4577 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
4578 so I produce this patch..."
4579
3295e65b
PH
4580 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
4581 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
4582 is not defined.
4583

PH
458455. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4585 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
4586 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4587 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

459558. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep

PH
459859. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
4599
4600 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
4601 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
4602 of $primary_hostname.
4603
b975ba52
PH
460460. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4605 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4606 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4607 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
4608 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4609 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4610 by change 4.50/55 above.
4611
4612 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4613 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4614 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4615 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4616 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4617 running as the user.

PH
462863. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4629 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4630 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4631 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4632 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.

463464. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
4635 This has been fixed.
4636
60dc5e56
PH
463765. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4638 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4639 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4640 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4641 the caching.)

464567. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
4646 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
4647 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
4648 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.

4654 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
4655 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
4656
6729cf78
PH
465770. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
4658 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
4659 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
4660 message there.
4661
00f00ca5
PH
466271. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
4663 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
4664 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
4665
c9bdd01c
PH
466672. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
4667 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
4668 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
4669 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
4670

PH
467173. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
4672 during host lookups.
4673

PH
467474. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
4675 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
4676
4677 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
4678
76a2d7ba
PH
467975. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
4680 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
4681 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
4682 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
4683 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
4684 background.
4685
468676. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
4687 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
4688
04f7d5b9
PH
468977. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
4690 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
4691 for the non-SMTP ACL.
4692
bc60667e
PH
469378. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
4694
bb6e88ff
PH
469579. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
4696 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
4697 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
4698 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
4699 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
4700 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
4701 process earlier.
4702
1e70f85b
PH
470380. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
4704 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
4705 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
4706 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
4707 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
4708
470981. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
4710 tables).

4723----------------------------------------------------
4724See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
4725----------------------------------------------------
4726
4727
4728Exim version 4.44
4729-----------------
4730
4731 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
4732 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
4733 transport
4734
4735 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
4736 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
4737 place.
4738
4739 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4740 filter fails to execute.
4741
4742 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4743 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4744 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4745 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4746 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4747
4748 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4749 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4750 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4751 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
4752
4753 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4754 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4755 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4756 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4757 control that does not make sense is encountered.
4758
4759 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
4760
4761 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
4762 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
4763 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
4764 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
4765
4766 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4767 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4768 sender verification.
4769
477010. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
4771 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
4772
477311. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
4774 the spool by the -Mrm option.
4775
477612. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4777 ignore_target_hosts.
4778
477913. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4780 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4781 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4782 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4783 "[x.x.x.x]".
4784
478514. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4786 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4787 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4788
478915. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4790 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4791 wake it up if nothing else does.
4792
479316. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4794 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4795 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4796 end up negative.
4797
479817. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4799 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
4800
ea3a6f44 480118. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
4802
480319. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
4804 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
4805 empty pattern.
4806
480720. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
4808 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
4809 one IP address.
4810
ea3a6f44
NM
481121. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4812 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4813 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4814 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4815 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4816 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 4817
ea3a6f44
NM
481822. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4819 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4820 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
4821
482223. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4823 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4824 $sender_host_address.
4825
482624. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
4827
ea3a6f44
NM
482825. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4829 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4830 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
4831
483226. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 4833 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 4834
ea3a6f44
NM
483527. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4836 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 4837
ea3a6f44
NM
483828. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4839 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4840 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4841 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
4842
484329. eximstats updated to version 1.35
4844 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
4845 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
4846
ea3a6f44
NM
484730. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4848 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4849 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4850 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 4851
ea3a6f44
NM
485231. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4853 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4854 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 4855
ea3a6f44
NM
485631. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
4857 autoreply.
bbe902f0 4858
ea3a6f44
NM
485932. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4860 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4861 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4862 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4863 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4864 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4865 is going on).
bbe902f0 4866
ea3a6f44
NM
486733. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4868 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
4869 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4870 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0
PH
4871 CAN-2005-0021
4872
ea3a6f44
NM
487334. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4874 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4875 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4876 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
4877 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4878 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4879 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
4880
4881 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4882 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4883 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4884 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4885 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4886 running as the user.
bbe902f0
PH
4887 CAN-2005-0021
4888
ea3a6f44
NM
488935. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4890 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
4891 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
bbe902f0
PH
4892 CAN-2005-0022
4893
ea3a6f44
NM
489436. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4895 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4896 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4897 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4898 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 4899
ea3a6f44
NM
490037. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4901 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4902 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4903 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4904 the caching.)
bbe902f0 4905
ea3a6f44
NM
490638. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4907 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4908 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4909 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4910 because the tests only now provoked it.

PH
4913Exim version 4.43
4914-----------------
4915
4916 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
4917 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
4918 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
4919 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
4920 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
4921 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
4922 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
4923
4924 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
4925 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
4926 the delivery.
4927
4928 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
4929
4930 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
4931
4932 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
4933 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
4934 to local_scan().
4935
4936 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
4937 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
4938 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
4939 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
4940 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
4941
4942 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
4943 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
4944
4945 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
4946
4947 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
4948
494910. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
4950 header_sender only.
4951
495211. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
4953 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
4954
495512. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
4956 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
4957 affecting debugging statements).
4958
495913. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
4960
496114. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
4962 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
4963 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
4964 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
4965 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
4966 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
4967 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
4968 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
4969 after the received time, and all would be well.
4970
497115. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
4972 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
4973 condition in an expansion string.
4974
497516. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
4976
497717. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
4978 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
4979 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
4980 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
4981 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
4982 job under whatever limits there are.
4983
498418. Imported PCRE 5.0.
4985
498619. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
4987 space).
4988
498920. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
4990 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
4991 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
4992 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
4993 return path is set.
4994
499521. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
4996 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
4997 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
4998 binary data in such strings.
4999
500022. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5001
500223. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5003 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5004 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5005 failure, which is pointless.
5006
500724. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5008
500925. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5010
501126. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5012 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5013 Sender: header lines.
5014
501527. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5016 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5017 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5018
501928. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5020 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5021 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5022 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5023 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5024 happens.
5025
502629. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5027 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5028 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5029 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5030 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5031
503230. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5033 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5034 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5035 1024.
5036
503731. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5038 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5039
504032. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5041 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5042
504333. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5044
504532. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5046
504733. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5048
504934. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5050 syntax error.
5051
505235. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5053
505436. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5055
505637. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5057 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5058 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5059 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5060
506138. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5062 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5063
5064
5065Exim version 4.42
5066-----------------
5067
5068 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5069 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5070 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5071 it was not quoted.
5072 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5073 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5074 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5075 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5076 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5077 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5078
5079 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5080 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5081 verification failure".
5082
5083 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5084 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5085 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5086 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5087
5088 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5089 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5090 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5091 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5092 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5093 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5094 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5095 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5096 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5097 treated as a timeout.
5098
5099 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5100 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5101 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5102 not set for Exim filters).
5103
5104 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5105 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5106 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5107
5108 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5109
5110 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5111 try to make them clearer.
5112
5113 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5114 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5115
5116 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5117
5118 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5119
512010. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5121 only the Cygwin environment.
5122
512311. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5124 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5125 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5126 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5127 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5128
512912. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5130 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5131 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5132 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5133 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5134 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5135 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5136
513713. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5138 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5139
514014. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5141
5142 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5143 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5144 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5145
5146 To: susanne@some.where
5147
5148 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5149 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5150 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5151 of addresses in From: header lines).
5152
5153 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5154 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5155 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5156
5157 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5158 treated as non-personal.
5159
5160 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5161 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5162
516315. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5164
516516. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5166
516717. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5168 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5169 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5170
517118. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5172 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5173
517419. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5175 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5176 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5177 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5178 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5179 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5180
518120. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5182 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5183 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5184 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5185 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5186 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5187 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5188 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5189
5190 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5191
519221. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5193 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5194
519522. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5196 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5197 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5198
519923. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5200 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5201
520224. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5203 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5204 rather than long int.
5205
520625. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5207
520826. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5209
5210
5211Exim version 4.41
5212-----------------
5213
5214 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5215 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5216 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5217 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5218 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5219 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5220
5221
5222Exim version 4.40
5223-----------------
5224
5225 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5226 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5227
5228 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5229 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5230 socklen_t is defined.
5231
5232 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5233 always exist.
5234
5235 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5236 configured.
5237
5238 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5239 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5240 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5241 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5242 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5243
5244 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5245 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5246 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5247 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5248
5249 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5250 of flapping under certain conditions.
5251
5252 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5253 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5254 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5255
5256 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5257
525810. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5259
526011. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5261 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5262 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5263 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5264
526512. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5266 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5267 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5268 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5269 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5270 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5271 preserved with the message after it was received.
5272
527313. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5274 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5275 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5276 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5277 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5278 test suite worked just fine.
5279
528014. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5281 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5282 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5283
528415. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5285 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5286 string.
5287
528816. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5289 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5290 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5291 does not fully solve it.
5292
529317. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5294 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5295 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5296 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5297 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5298
529918. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5300 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5301 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5302
530319. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5304 string, for example:
5305
5306 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5307
5308 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5309 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5310 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5311 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5312 the routers could not see them.
5313
531420. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5315 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5316
531721. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5318 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5319 output).
5320
532122. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5322 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5323 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5324 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5325 that needed quoting.
5326
532723. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5328 was not being matched caselessly.
5329
533024. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5331 backslashes.
5332
533325. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5334 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5335 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5336 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5337 when use_sender is false.
5338
533926. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5340
534127. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5342
534328. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5344
534529. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5346 the configuration file.
5347
534830. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5349 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5350
535131. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5352
535332. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5354 bytes in the message body.
5355
535633. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5357 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5358 delivery.
5359
536034. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5361
536235. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5363
536436. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5365 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5366 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5367 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5368 another IP address.
5369
5370
5371Exim version 4.34
5372-----------------
5373
5374 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5375 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5376
5377 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5378 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5379 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5380 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5381 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5382
5383 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5384 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5385
5386 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5387 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5388 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5389
5390 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5391 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5392 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5393
5394 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5395 for routers.
5396
5397 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5398 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5399 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5400 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5401 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5402 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5403 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5404
5405
5406Exim version 4.33
5407-----------------
5408
5409 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5410 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5411 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5412 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5413 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5414 default (and expected) setting.
5415
5416 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5417 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5418 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5419 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5420
5421 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5422 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5423
5424 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5425 in domain lists.
5426
5427 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5428 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5429 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5430 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5431 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5432 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5433
5434 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5435 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5436 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5437
5438 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5439 part (NOT match_host).
5440
5441 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5442
5443 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5444 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5445 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5446 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5447 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5448 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5449 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5450 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5451 the same named file.
5452
545310. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5454 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5455 when Exim is built.
5456
545711. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5458 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5459 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5460 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5461 a host name.
5462
546312. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5464 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5465 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5466
546713. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5468
546914. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5470
547115. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5472
547316. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5474 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5475
547617. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5477 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5478 before starting the TLS session.
5479
548018. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5481
548219. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5483 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5484
548520. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5486 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5487 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5488 colon in the middle).
5489
5490
5491Exim version 4.32
5492-----------------
5493
5494 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5495 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5496 multiple configurations are in use.
5497
5498 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5499 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5500 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5501 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5502 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5503 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5504
5505 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5506 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5507
5508 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5509 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5510 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5511
5512 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5513 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5514 occurs.
5515
5516 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
5517 that used bh_ and bheader_.
5518
5519 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
5520
5521 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
5522 allowing one more file than it should have been.
5523
5524 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
5525
5526 -prval:sval
5527
5528 is equivalent to
5529
5530 -oMr rval -oMs sval
5531
5532 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
5533 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
5534 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
5535 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
5536 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
5537
553810. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
5539 Exim's behaviour:
5540
5541 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
5542 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
5543 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
5544 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
5545 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
5546 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
5547
5548 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
5549 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
5550 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
5551 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
5552 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
5553 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
5554 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
5555 string.
5556
5557 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
5558 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
5559 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
5560 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
5561 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
5562
556311. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
5564
556512. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
5566 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
5567 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
5568
556913. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
5570
557114. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
5572 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
5573 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
5574 information.
5575
557615. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
5577 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
5578
557916. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
5580 Three changes have been made:
5581
5582 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
5583 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
5584 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
5585 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
5586 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
5587
5588 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
5589 been restored.
5590
5591 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
5592 the modified behaviour.
5593
5594
5595Exim version 4.31
5596-----------------
5597
5598 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
5599 Larry Rosenman.
5600
5601 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
5602 indeed breaks things for older releases.
5603
5604 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
5605 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
5606 try to track down a specific problem.
5607
5608 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
5609 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
5610 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
5611
5612 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
5613 warning.
5614
5615 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
5616 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
5617 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
5618 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
5619 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
5620 some earlier ones do not.
5621
5622 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
5623
5624 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
5625 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
5626 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5627 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
5628 address literals are enabled, of course).
5629
5630 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
5631
563210. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
5633 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
5634 by a command such as
5635
5636 exim -f "" ...
5637
5638 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
5639
564011. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
5641
564212. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
5643 remained set. It is now erased.
5644
564513. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
5646 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
5647
564814. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
5649 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
5650 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
5651 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
5652 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
5653 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
5654 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
5655 appropriate error code.
5656
565715. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
5658 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
5659 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
5660 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
5661 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
5662 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
5663
566416. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
5665 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
5666 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
5667
566817. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
5669 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
5670 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
5671 terminate the header.
5672
567318. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
5674 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
5675 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
5676
567719. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
5678 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
5679 (4.30/29). In particular:
5680
5681 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
5682 imposed.
5683
5684 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
5685 to write a maildirsize file.
5686
5687 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
5688 the transport, the new value overrides.
5689
5690 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
5691 count.
5692
569320. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
5694 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
5695 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
5696 space or a tab.
5697
569821. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
5699 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
5700 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
5701 the fallback hosts.
5702
570322. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
5704 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
5705 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
5706
570723. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
5708 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
5709 using a union.
5710
571124. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
5712 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
5713 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
5714
571525. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
5716
571726. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
5718
571927. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
5720
572128. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
5722 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
5723 become corrupted.
5724
572529. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
5726 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
5727 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
5728 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
5729 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
5730 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
5731 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
5732 too great.
5733
573430. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
5735 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
5736 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
5737 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
5738 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
5739 incorrectly.
5740
574131. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
5742 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
5743 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
5744 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
5745 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
5746 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
5747 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
5748 cached value only when the same options are set.
5749
575032. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
5751
575233. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
5753 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
5754 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
5755 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
5756 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
5757
575834: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
5759 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
5760 it is clearly obsolete.
5761
576235. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
5763 transport.
5764
576536. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
5766 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
5767 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
5768 times.
5769
577037. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
5771 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
5772 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
5773 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
5774 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
5775
577638. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
5777 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
5778 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
5779 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
5780
578139. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
5782
5783 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
5784
5785 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
5786 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
5787 2^31.
5788
578940. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
5790 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
5791 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
5792 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
5793 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
5794 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
5795 $localpart_data.
5796
579741. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
5798 with the -f command-line option.
5799
580042. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
5801 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
5802 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
5803 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
5804 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
5805 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5806
580743. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
5808 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
5809 line.
5810
581144. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
5812 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
5813 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
5814 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
5815 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
5816 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
5817 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
5818 buffer is too small.
5819
582045. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
5821 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
5822
582346. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
5824 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
5825 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
5826 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
5827 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
5828 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
5829 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
5830 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
5831 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
5832
583347. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
5834 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
5835 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
5836
583748. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
5838 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
5839 ACL").
5840
584149. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
5842 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
5843 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
5844 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
5845 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
5846
584750. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
5848 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
5849 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
5850 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
5851 is set.
5852
585351. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
5854
585552. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
5856
585753. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
5858 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
5859
586054. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
5861 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
5862 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
5863
586455. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
5865 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
5866 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
5867 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
5868 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
5869
587056. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
5871 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
5872 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
5873 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
5874 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
5875 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
5876 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
5877
587857. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
5879 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
5880 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
5881 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
5882 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
5883 the test of how many are available.
5884
588558. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
5886 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
5887 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 5888 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
5889 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
5890 new message is started.
5891
589259. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
5893 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
5894
589560. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
5896 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
5897
589861. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
5899 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
5900 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
5901 is no long logged.
5902
590362. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
5904 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
5905 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
5906 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
5907 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
5908 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
5909 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
5910
591163. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
5912 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
5913 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
5914 interpreted as octal.
5915
591664. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
5917 setting.
5918
591965. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
5920 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
5921 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
5922 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
5923 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
5924 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
5925
592666. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
5927 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
5928 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
5929 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
5930
5931 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
5932 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
5933 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
5934 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
5935
5936 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
5937 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
5938 is a bug fix.
5939
5940 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
5941 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
5942
594367. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5944
594568. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
5946 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
5947 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
5948 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
5949
595069. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
5951 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
5952 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
5953 supplied", which is not helpful.
5954
595570. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
5956 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
5957 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
5958
595971. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
5960 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
5961 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
5962 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
5963 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
5964 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
5965 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
5966 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
5967
596872. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
5969 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
5970 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
5971 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
5972 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
5973
597473. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
5975 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
5976 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
5977 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 5978 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
5979 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
5980
598174. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
5982 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
5983 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
5984
598575. Added write_rejectlog option.
5986
598776. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
5988 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
5989 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
5990 variables.
5991
599277. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
5993
599478. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
5995 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
5996 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
5997 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
5998 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
5999 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6000 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6001 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6002
600379. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6004 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6005 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6006 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6007 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6008
600980. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6010 Haardt.
6011
601281. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6013 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6014 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6015 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6016 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6017 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6018 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6019 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6020 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6021
6022
6023Exim version 4.30
6024-----------------
6025
6026 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6027 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6028 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6029
6030 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6031 fixed.
6032
6033 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6034 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6035 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6036
6037 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6038 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6039 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6040 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6041 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6042 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6043
6044 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6045 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6046 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6047 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6048 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6049 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6050 the Exim test suite.
6051
6052 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6053 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6054 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6055 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6056
6057 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6058 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6059 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6060 specify it in this variable.
6061
6062 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6063 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6064 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6065 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6066
6067 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6068 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6069 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6070 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6071
6072 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6073 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6074 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6075 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6076 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6077
6078 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6079
608010. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6081 they are logged.
6082
608311. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6084 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6085 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6086 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6087 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6088
608912. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6090 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6091
609213. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6093 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6094 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6095 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6096 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6097
609814. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6099 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6100
610115. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6102 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6103 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6104
610516. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6106 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6107
610817. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6109 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6110
611118. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6112 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6113 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6114
611519. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6116 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6117
611820. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6119 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6120 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6121 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6122
612321. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6124
612522. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6126 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6127 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6128 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6129
613023. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6131
613224. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6133 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6134
613525. Added .include_if_exists.
6136
613726. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6138 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6139 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6140 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6141 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6142 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6143
614427. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6145
614628. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6147 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6148 this.
6149
615029. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6151
615230. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6153 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6154
6155 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6156 550 Sender verify failed
6157
6158 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6159 the final line of the response.
6160
616131. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6162 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6163 all other user lookups.
6164
616532. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6166 delivery time.
6167
616833. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6169 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6170 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6171 result into an int without checking.
6172
617334. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6174 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6175 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6176
617735. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6178 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6179 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6180 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6181
618236. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6183 correctly.
6184
618537. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6186 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6187
618838. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6189 to the empty sender.
6190
619139. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6192 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6193 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6194 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6195 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6196 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6197 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6198 panic log.
6199
620040. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6201 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6202 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6203 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6204 used.
6205
620641. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6207 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6208
620942. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6210 timestamps.
6211
621243. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6213 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6214
621544. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6216
621745. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6218 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6219 logs.
6220
622146. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6222 as soon as it is encountered.
6223
622447. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6225
622648. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6227 rewritten to "<>".
6228
622949. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6230 recognizes a tab character.
6231
623250. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6233 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6234 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6235 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6236
623751. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6238
623952. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6240 crash.
6241
624253. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6243
624454. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6245
624655. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6247 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6248 2822.
6249
625056. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6251 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6252 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6253 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6254 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6255
625657. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6257 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6258
625958. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6260 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6261 list (.included file names were always shown).
6262
626359. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6264 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6265 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6266 root at that time.
6267
626860. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6269 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6270
627161. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6272
627362. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6274
627563. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6276
627764. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6278 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6279 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6280 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6281 failures to open the logs.
6282
628365. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6284 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6285 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6286 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6287 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6288 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6289 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6290
6291
6292Exim version 4.24
6293-----------------
6294
6295 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6296 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6297 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6298 change 4.23/1.
6299
6300 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6301 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6302 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6303
6304 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6305 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6306 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6307
6308 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6309 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6310 causing some misleading effects.
6311
6312 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6313 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6314 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6315
6316 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6317 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6318 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6319 queue-runner function directly.
6320
6321
6322Exim version 4.23
6323-----------------
6324
6325 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6326 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6327
6328 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6329 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6330 was always written to the default place.
6331
6332 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6333 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6334 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6335
6336 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6337
6338 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6339
6340 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6341 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6342 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6343
6344 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6345 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6346 must start.
6347
6348 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6349 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6350 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6351
6352 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6353 command line option is disabled.
6354
6355 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6356 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6357
6358 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6359
6360 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6361
6362 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6363 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6364
636510. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6366
636711. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6368 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6369 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6370 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6371 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6372 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6373
637412. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6375 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6376 timeout.
6377
637813. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6379 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6380
638114. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6382 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6383
638415. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6385 received was valid base64.
6386
638716. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6388 name of the variable that was being set.
6389
639017. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6391
639218. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6393 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6394 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6395 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6396 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6397 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6398
639919. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6400
640120. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6402 nor realm was specified.
6403
640421. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6405 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6406 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6407 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6408
640922. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6410 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6411 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6412
641323. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6414 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6415 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6416
641724. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6418 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6419 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6420 some systems use these upper case variants.
6421
642225. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6423 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6424 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6425 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6426
642726. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6428
642927. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6430 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6431
643228. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6433 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6434 expansion variable.
6435
643629. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6437
643830. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6439 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6440 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6441 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6442
644331. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6444 using it.
6445
644632. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6447 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6448 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6449
645033. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6451 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6452
645334. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6454 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6455 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6456 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6457
645835. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6459 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6460 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6461
646236. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6463
646437. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6465 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6466 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6467 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6468 aborted.
6469
647038. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6471 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6472 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6473
647439. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6475
647640. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6477 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6478
647941. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6480 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6481
648242. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6483 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6484 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6485 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6486 when emails are that large.
6487
6488
6489
6490Exim version 4.22
6491-----------------
6492
6493 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6494 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6495
6496 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6497 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6498 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6499
6500 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6501 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6502 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6503
6504 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6505 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6506 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6507 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6508 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6509
6510 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6511 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6512 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6513 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6514 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6515 ever.
6516
6517 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
6518 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
6519 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
6520 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
6521 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
6522 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
6523 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
6524 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
6525 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
6526 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
6527 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
6528 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
6529 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
6530 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
6531
6532 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
6533 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
6534 parameterised it.
6535
6536 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
6537 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
6538 error should be diagnosed.
6539
6540 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
6541 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
6542 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
6543 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
6544 appeared instead of "NULL".
6545
654610. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
6547 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
6548 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
6549 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
6550 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
6551 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
6552 proceeds).
6553
6554 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
6555 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
6556 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
6557
6558
6559Exim version 4.21
6560-----------------
6561
6562 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
6563 or receiver verification errors.
6564
6565 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
6566 name.
6567
6568 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
6569 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
6570 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
6571 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
6572
6573 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
6574 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
6575 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
6576 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
6577 shouldn't happen again.
6578
6579 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
6580 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
6581 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
6582
6583 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
6584 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
6585
6586 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
6587
6588 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
6589 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
6590
6591 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
6592 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
6593 RFC.
6594
659510. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
6596 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
6597 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
6598
659911. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
6600 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
6601 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
6602 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
6603
660412. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
6605 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
6606 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
6607 to define what should happen).
6608
660913. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
6610 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
6611 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
6612
661314. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
6614
661515. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
6616
661716. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
6618 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
6619
4c04137d 662017. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
6621 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
6622 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
6623 structure in all cases.
6624
6625 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
6626 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
6627 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
6628 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
6629
663018. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
6631 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
6632 domain name.
6633
663419. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
6635 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
6636
663720. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
6638 MD5 (which is deprecated).
6639
664021. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
6641 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
6642 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
6643
664422. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
6645 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
6646 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
6647
664823. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
6649 the book and for uniformity.
6650
665124. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
6652
665325. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 6654 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
6655 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
6656 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
6657 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
6658 non-existent command as the problem.
6659
666026. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
6661 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
6662 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
6663
666427. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
6665
666628. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
6667 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
6668 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
6669
667029. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
6671 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
6672 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
6673 timestamps using strftime().
6674
667530. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
6676 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
6677
667832. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
6679 transport-time rewrites.
6680
668133. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
6682 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
6683 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
6684 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
6685
668634. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
6687 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
6688
668935. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
6690 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
6691 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
6692 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
6693 comma and a space.
6694
669536. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
6696 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
6697 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
6698 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
6699 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
6700 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
6701 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
6702
670337. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
6704 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
6705 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
6706 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
6707 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
6708
670938. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
6710 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
6711 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
6712 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
6713 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
6714 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
6715 remaining text gets split now.
6716
671739. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
6718 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
6719 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
6720 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
6721
672240. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
6723 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
6724 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
6725 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
6726 $return_path.
6727
672841. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
6729 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
6730 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
6731 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
6732 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
6733 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
6734 passed through if needed.
6735
673642. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
6737 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
6738 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
6739 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
6740 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
6741 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
6742
674343. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
6744 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
6745 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
6746 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
6747 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
6748
674944. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
6750 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
6751 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
6752 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
6753 incorrect size information for certain domains.
6754
675545. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
6756 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
6757 noticed.
6758
675946. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
6760 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
6761 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
6762 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
6763 mayhem of various kinds.
6764
676547. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
6766 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 6767 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
6768 the right test for positive values.
6769
677048. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
6771 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
6772 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
6773 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
6774 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
6775 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
6776 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
6777 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
6778 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
6779 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
6780 envelope.
6781
678249. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
6783 module.
6784
678550. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
6786 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
6787 forbidding it.
6788
678951. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
6790 the existing equality matching.
6791
679252. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
6793 dealing with inode numbers.
6794
679553. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
6796 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
6797 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
6798
679954. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
6800 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
6801 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
6802 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
6803 local_scan().
6804
680555. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
6806 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
6807 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
6808 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
6809 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
6810 relay addresses has also been removed.
6811
681256. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
6813
681457. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
6815 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
6816 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
6817
681858. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
6819 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
6820 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
6821 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
6822 processing applies to CR:
6823
6824 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
6825 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
6826
6827 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
6828 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
6829 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
6830 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
6831
683259. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
6833 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
6834 This is a VOB (very old bug).
6835
683660. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
6837 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
6838 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
6839 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
6840 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
6841 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
6842 arisen.
6843
684461. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
6845 program routers.
6846
684762. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
6848 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
6849 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
6850 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
6851 adds:
6852
6853 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
6854
6855 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
6856
6857 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
6858
685963. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
6860 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
6861 not considered personal.
6862
686364. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
6864
686565. Added queue_only_override (default true).
6866
686766. Added the syslog_duplication option.
6868
686967. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
6870 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
6871 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
6872 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
6873 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
6874 header lines, and spool format errors.
6875
687668. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
6877 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
6878 for more flexibility.
6879
688069. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
6881 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
6882 consulting and updating the callout cache.
6883
688470. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
6885 Sabourenkov.
6886
688771. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
6888 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
6889 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
6890 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
6891 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
6892 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
6893 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
6894 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
6895 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
6896
689772. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
6898 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
6899 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
6900 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
6901 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
6902 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
6903 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
6904
690573. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
6906 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
6907 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
6908
690974. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
6910 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
6911 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
6912 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
6913 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
6914 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
6915 instead of killing the process with assert().
6916
691775. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
6918 than Unicode encoding.
6919
692076. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
6921 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
6922 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
6923 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
6924
692577. Added process_log_path.
6926
692778. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
6928 check_log_inodes was ignored.
6929
693079. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
6931 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
6932
693380. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
6934 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
6935 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
6936
693781. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
6938 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
6939 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
6940 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
6941 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
6942 were applied:
6943
6944 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
6945 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
6946 as invalid.
6947
694882. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
6949 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
6950 they will be used during message reception.
