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.

JH
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.

29JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of
30 identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect
31 "exiwhat" output.

33PP/02 Bug 2070: uClibc defines __GLIBC__ without providing glibc headers;
34 add noisy ifdef guards to special-case this sillyness.
35 Patch from Bernd Kuhls.

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 +).

50 <https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/>.

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.

126JH/19 Bug 2141: Use the full-complex API for Berkeley DB rather than the legacy-
127 compatible one, to avoid the (poorly documented) possibility of a config
128 file in the working directory redirecting the DB files, possibly correpting
02745400 129 some existing file. CVE-2017-10140 assigned for BDB.

220 It seems that HAProxy sends the Proxy Protocol information in clear and

223JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
224 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
225 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
226 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
227 requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used
228 by non-daemon-related Exim processes.

246JH/16 Drop variables when they go out of scope. Memory management drops a whole

249 variables at a store-reset and panics on a dangling pointer; add code
250 explicitly nulling out all the variables discovered. Fixes one known

289JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
290 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
291 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
292 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
293 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
294 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
295 if one fails this test.
296 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
297 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

320 a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection.

1111TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1112
1113 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1114 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1115 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1116 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1117 the retry rules.
1118
1119 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1120 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1121 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1122
1123 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1124 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1125 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1126 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1127
1ddeb334
TF
1128 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1129 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1130 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1131 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1132 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1133 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1134 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1135
1136 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1137 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1173 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
1174 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
1175 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
1176 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
1177 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
4c04137d 1178 The client is controlled by both of: a hosts_try_prdr option
fd98a5c6
JH
1179 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
1180 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
1181 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

1459TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1460 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1461 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1462
1463 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1464 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1465 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1466 not safe for signals.
1467
1468 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1469 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1470 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1471 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1472 exiwhat.
1473
c99ce5c9
TF
1474TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1475
1476 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1477 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1478 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1479 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1480 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1481
1482 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1483 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1484 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1485 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1486 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1487 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1488
1489 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1490 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1491 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1492 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1493
1494 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1495 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1496 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1497 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1498
1499 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1500 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1501 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1502 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1503 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1504 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1505 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1506 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1507 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1508
1509 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1510 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1511 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1512 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1513
1514 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1515 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1516 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1517 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1518 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1519 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1520 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1521 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1522 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1523 details in the main documentation.

2074 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2093-----------------
2094
2095PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2096
6a3bceb1
PH
2097PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2098 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2099 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2100 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2101 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2102 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2103 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2104 for iplsearch lookups.
2105
2106 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2107 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2108 previously such lookups could never work.
2109
4c04137d 2110 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2111 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2112 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2117MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2118 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2119 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2120 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2121 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2122 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2127MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2128 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2129 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2130 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2131 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2132 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2209 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2210 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2211 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.

2315PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2316 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2317 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2318 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2319 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2320 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2321 pipelining has not been advertised.

2336 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2337 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

2397 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2398 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2399 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2400 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2401 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim

2413PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2414 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2415
2416 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2417 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2418
2419 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2420 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2421 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2422
2423 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2424 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2425 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2426 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2427 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2444 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

PH
2471PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2472 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2473 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2474 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2475 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2476 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2477 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2478 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2479 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2480 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2481 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2517 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2518 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2519 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2520 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2521 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host

14aa5a05
PH
2526 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2527 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2528 function.
2529 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2530 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2531 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2532 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2533 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2534 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2535 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2536 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2537 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2543 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2544 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2545 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2546 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2547 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2548 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2549 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
2555PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2556 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2557 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2558 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2559 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2560 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2561 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2562 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2563 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2564 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2565 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2566 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2567 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2570 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2571 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2572 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2573 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2574 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2575 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2577PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2578 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2579 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2580 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2581 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2582 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2583 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2584 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2585 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2586 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

2588PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2594PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a

2597 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2598 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2599 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the

2639
2640PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2641 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2642 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2643 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2644 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2645 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2646 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2647 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2648 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2649
2650 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2651 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2652 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2653 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2654 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2655 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2656 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2657 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2658 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2659
2660 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2661 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2662 hammering the server.

2963 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2964 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2965 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2966 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2967 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

3087PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3088 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3089 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3090 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3091 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3092 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3093 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3094 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
3104PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3105 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3106 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3107 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3108 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3109 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3110 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3111 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3112 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3209PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3210 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3211 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3212 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3213 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3214 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3215 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3216 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3217 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3218 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3230 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as

3253PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3254 used in LMTP mode:
3255
3256 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3257 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3258 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3259 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3260
3261 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3262 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3263 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3264
3265PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3266 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3267 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3268 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3269 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

3339PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3340 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3341 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3342 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3343 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3344 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3345 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3346 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3347 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3348 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3349 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3378 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3379 silly things.

3409 identical. For example:
3410
3411 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3412
3413 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data

3492 nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
3493 not changing the active code.

PH
3504PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3505 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3506 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3507 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3508 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3509 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3510 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3511 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3512 the text comparison.
3513
96776534
PH
3514PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
3515 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated

3517 The same fix has been applied.

3887PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11
3888 above was not the best (it lost precision). The length of off_t variables
3889 is now inspected at build time, and an appropriate printing format (%ld
c6c2dc1d
PH
3890 or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T
3891 to be "long long int" or "long int". This is needed for the internal
3892 formatting function string_vformat().

PH
3894PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in
3895 the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where
3896 the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our
3897 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
3898 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
3899 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim
3900 with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it
3901 falls back to the previous guessing code."

3910PH/18 If the "use_postmaster" option was set for a recipient callout together
3911 with the "random" option, the postmaster address was used as the MAIL

3913 test. It is now used for both.

PH
3915PH/19 Applied Michael Haardt's patch to update Sieve to RFC3028bis. "The
3916 patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the
3917 latest draft now contains them. It adds the new en;ascii-case comparator
3918 and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and
3919 require names are now matched exactly. I enabled the subaddress
3920 extension, but it is not well tested yet (read: it works for me)."

PH
3922PH/20 Added macros for time_t as for off_t (see PH/15 above) and used them to
3923 rework some of the code of TK/09 above to avoid the hardwired use of

3931PH/22 Fixed some oversights/typos causing bugs when Exim is compiled with
3932 experimental DomainKeys support:
3933
3934 (1) The filter variables $n0-$n9 and $sn0-$sn9 were broken.
3935 (2) On an error such as an illegally used "control", the wrong name for
3936 the control was given.

PH
3944PH/25 Put debug statements on either side of calls to EXIM_DBOPEN() for hints
3945 databases so that it will be absolutely obvious if a crash occurs in the
3946 DB library. This is a regular occurrence (often caused by mis-matched
3947 db.h files).
3948
ff790e47 3949PH/26 Insert a lot of missing (void) casts for functions such as chown(),
f1e894f3
PH
3950 chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were
3951 picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem
3952 to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be
3953 put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have
3954 set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due
3955 course.

5417f6d1
PH
3957PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
3958 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
3959 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
3960 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
3961 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
3962 introduced by 4.51/PH/31.
3963
59cf8544
PH
3964PH/28 Changed -d+all to exclude +memory, because that information is very

PH
3972PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
3973 aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
3974 don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
3975 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
3976 record types that Exim uses.
3977
182ad5cf
PH
3978PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
3979 not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
3980 prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
3981 data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
3982 non-existent file that was broken.

3993PH/32 In mua_wrapper mode, if an smtp transport configuration error (such as
3994 the use of a port name that isn't defined in /etc/services) occurred, the
3995 message was deferred as in a normal delivery, and thus remained on the
3996 spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This
3997 is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the
3998 same time.

4000SC/08 Eximstats: whilst parsing the mainlog(s), store information about

4027PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
4028 to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
4029
4030PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4031 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4032 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4033 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4034 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4035 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4036 file.
4037
4038PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4039 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4040 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4041 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4042 these two options.
4043
4044PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4045 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4046 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4047 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4048 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4049 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4050 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4051 address.
1a46a8c5
PH
4052
4053PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
4054 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
4055
4056PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4057 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4058 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4059 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4060 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4061 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4062
4063PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
4064 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
4065 commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
4066 SMTP commands that take arguments.
4067
4068PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony
4069 Finch).

4099 where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a
4100 negation of where the condition IS allowed.

PH
4113PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
4114 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
4115 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4116 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4117 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4118 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4119 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
4120 for failure.
4121
f9b9210e
PH
4122PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
4123 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
4124 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
4125 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4126 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
4127 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
4128 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
4129 "input=".

4136PH/23 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was expanding server_hostname, but then
4137 forgetting to use the resulting value; it was using the unexpanded value.
4138
c5ddb310
PH
4139PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4140 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4141 understands it better than I do:
4142
4143 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4144 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4145
4146 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4147 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4148 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4149 => three warnings about OTP not working
4150 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4151
4152 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4153 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4154 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4155 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4156 for each call.)
4157 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4158 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4159
4160 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4161 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4162 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

d7174846
PH
4226PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4227 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4228 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4229 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4230 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4231 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4232 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4233
4234 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4235 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4236 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4237 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4238 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4239
4240 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4241 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4242 routed further.

4247 connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
4248 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
4249 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

4272
4273 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
4274 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
4275 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

4283PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
4284 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
4285 writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
4286 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4287 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4288 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4289 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4290 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4291 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
4292 the log output.

4301A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4302----------------------------------------
4303
4304Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4305changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4306needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4307in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4308that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4309release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4310from 4.43.
4311
4312I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
43134.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4314those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4315historical information.

PH
4321 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file.
4322
139059f6 4323 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the
5fe762f6 4324 computation of the current number of files was incorrect.
495ae4b0 4325

PH
4326 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
4327 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
4328 place.
4329
35af9f61
PH
4330 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4331 filter fails to execute.
4332
b668c215
PH
4333 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4334 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4335 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4336 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4337 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4338
a494b1e1
PH
4339 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
4340
4341 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4342 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4343 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4344 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

PH
4346 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4347 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4348 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4349 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4350 control that does not make sense is encountered.
4351
69358f02
PH
4352 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission".

PH
435611. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
4357 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
4358 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
4359 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.

PH
436112. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4362 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4363 sender verification.
4364
436513. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
4366 $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.

436814. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.

4371 connection timeout.
4372
926e1192
PH
437316. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
4374 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)

PH
437617. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
4377 the spool by the -Mrm option.

PH
438420. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
4385 handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
4386 CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).

PH
438821. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
4389 It is now set to "smtps".

d4eb88df
PH
439122. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4392 ignore_target_hosts.
4393
439423. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4395 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4396 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4397 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4398 "[x.x.x.x]".
4399
7d468ab8
PH
440024. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4401 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4402 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4403
440425. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4405 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4406 wake it up if nothing else does.
4407
62c0818f
PH
440826. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4409 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4410 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4411 end up negative.
4412
26034054
PH
441327. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4414 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.

441628. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
4417
90af77f4
PH
441829. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4419 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4420 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4421 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4422 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4423 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4424 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4425 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
4426
d8ef3577
PH
442730. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
4428 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
4429 than one IP address.
4430
5cb8cbc6
PH
443131. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4432 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
4433 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
4434 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
4435
14702f5b
PH
443632. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4437 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4438 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4439 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4440 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4441 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4442
063b1e99
PH
444333. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4444 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4445 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4446 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4447
652e1b65
PH
444834. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4449 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4450 respected.
4451
6f0c9a4f
PH
445235. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4453 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4454 $sender_host_address.
4455
33397d19
PH
445636. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4457 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4458 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4459 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4460 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4461 very small.
4462
7bb56e1f
PH
446337. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
4464
4465 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
4466 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
4467
ea3bc19b
PH
4468 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
4469 just the host names, not the priorities.
4470
4471 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
4472 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
4473 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 4474
ea3bc19b 4475 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 4476 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 4477
0bcb2a0e
PH
447838. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
4479 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
4480 domain.

PH
448239. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
4483
4e1fde53
PH
448440. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
4485 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.

de365ded
PH
448741. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4488 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4489 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.

PH
449544. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
4496
449745. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4498 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4499 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4500 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4501 because the tests only now provoked it.
4502

PH
450346. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4504 (this can affect the format of dates).
4505
0ec020ea
PH
450647. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4507 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4508 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4509 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.

PH
451148. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
4512
451349. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4514 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4515 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4516 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
4517
26dd5a95
PH
451850. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4519 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4520 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
4521

PH
452251. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
4523 autoreply.
4524

PH
452552. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4526 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4527 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4528 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4529 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4530 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4531 is going on).
4532
55ee9ee3
PH
453353. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
4534 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
4535 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
4536 the line.
4537
d38f8232
PH
453854. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
4539 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
4540 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
4541
4542 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
4543 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
4544 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
4545 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
4546 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
4547 so I produce this patch..."
4548
3295e65b
PH
4549 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
4550 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
4551 is not defined.
4552
7102e136
PH
455355. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4554 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
4555 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4556 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

18ce445d
PH
456458. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep

4566
1f5b4c3d
PH
456759. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
4568
4569 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
4570 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
4571 of $primary_hostname.
4572
b975ba52
PH
457360. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4574 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4575 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4576 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
4577 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4578 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4579 by change 4.50/55 above.
4580
4581 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4582 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4583 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4584 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4585 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4586 running as the user.

4588
458961. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4590 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the

459462. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
4595 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
4596
d95f9fdb
PH
459763. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4598 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4599 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4600 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4601 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
4602
86b8287f
PH
460364. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
4604 This has been fixed.
4605
60dc5e56
PH
460665. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4607 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4608 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4609 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4610 the caching.)
4611
533244af
PH
461266. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
4613
a5a28604
PH
461467. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
4615 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
4616 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
4617 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
4618
7e634d24
PH
461968. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
4620 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
4621
3e11c26b
PH
462269. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
4623 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
4624 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
4625
6729cf78
PH
462670. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
4627 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
4628 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
4629 message there.
4630
00f00ca5
PH
463171. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
4632 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
4633 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
4634
c9bdd01c
PH
463572. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
4636 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
4637 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
4638 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
4639
d43194df
PH
464073. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
4641 during host lookups.
4642

PH
464374. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
4644 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
4645
4646 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
4647
76a2d7ba
PH
464875. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
4649 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
4650 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
4651 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
4652 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
4653 background.
4654
465576. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
4656 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
4657
04f7d5b9
PH
465877. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
4659 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
4660 for the non-SMTP ACL.
4661
bc60667e
PH
466278. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
4663
bb6e88ff
PH
466479. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
4665 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
4666 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
4667 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
4668 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
4669 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
4670 process earlier.
4671
1e70f85b
PH
467280. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
4673 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
4674 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
4675 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
4676 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
4677
467881. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
4679 tables).
4680
4e01f9d6
PH
468182. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith.

4692----------------------------------------------------
4693See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
4694----------------------------------------------------
4695
4696
4697Exim version 4.44
4698-----------------
4699
4700 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
4701 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
4702 transport
4703
4704 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
4705 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
4706 place.
4707
4708 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4709 filter fails to execute.
4710
4711 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4712 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4713 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4714 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4715 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4716
4717 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4718 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4719 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4720 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
4721
4722 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4723 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4724 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4725 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4726 control that does not make sense is encountered.
4727
4728 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
4729
4730 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
4731 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
4732 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
4733 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
4734
4735 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4736 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4737 sender verification.
4738
473910. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
4740 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
4741
474211. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
4743 the spool by the -Mrm option.
4744
474512. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4746 ignore_target_hosts.
4747
474813. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4749 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4750 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4751 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4752 "[x.x.x.x]".
4753
475414. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4755 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4756 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4757
475815. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4759 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4760 wake it up if nothing else does.
4761
476216. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4763 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4764 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4765 end up negative.
4766
476717. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4768 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
4769
ea3a6f44 477018. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
4771
477219. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
4773 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
4774 empty pattern.
4775
477620. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
4777 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
4778 one IP address.
4779
ea3a6f44
NM
478021. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4781 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4782 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4783 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4784 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4785 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 4786
ea3a6f44
NM
478722. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4788 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4789 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
4790
479123. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4792 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4793 $sender_host_address.
4794
479524. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
4796
ea3a6f44
NM
479725. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4798 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4799 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
4800
480126. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 4802 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 4803
ea3a6f44
NM
480427. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4805 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 4806
ea3a6f44
NM
480728. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4808 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4809 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4810 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
4811
481229. eximstats updated to version 1.35
4813 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
4814 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
4815
ea3a6f44
NM
481630. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4817 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4818 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4819 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 4820
ea3a6f44
NM
482131. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4822 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4823 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 4824
ea3a6f44
NM
482531. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
4826 autoreply.
bbe902f0 4827
ea3a6f44
NM
482832. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4829 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4830 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4831 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4832 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4833 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4834 is going on).
bbe902f0 4835
ea3a6f44
NM
483633. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4837 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
4838 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4839 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0
PH
4840 CAN-2005-0021
4841
ea3a6f44
NM
484234. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4843 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4844 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4845 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
4846 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4847 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4848 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
4849
4850 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4851 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4852 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4853 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4854 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4855 running as the user.
bbe902f0
PH
4856 CAN-2005-0021
4857
ea3a6f44
NM
485835. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4859 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
4860 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
bbe902f0
PH
4861 CAN-2005-0022
4862
ea3a6f44
NM
486336. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4864 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4865 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4866 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4867 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 4868
ea3a6f44
NM
486937. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4870 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4871 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4872 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4873 the caching.)
bbe902f0 4874
ea3a6f44
NM
487538. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4876 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4877 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4878 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4879 because the tests only now provoked it.

4882Exim version 4.43
4883-----------------
4884
4885 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
4886 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
4887 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
4888 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
4889 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
4890 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
4891 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
4892
4893 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
4894 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
4895 the delivery.
4896
4897 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
4898
4899 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
4900
4901 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
4902 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
4903 to local_scan().
4904
4905 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
4906 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
4907 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
4908 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
4909 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
4910
4911 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
4912 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
4913
4914 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
4915
4916 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
4917
491810. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
4919 header_sender only.
4920
492111. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
4922 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
4923
492412. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
4925 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
4926 affecting debugging statements).
4927
492813. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
4929
493014. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
4931 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
4932 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
4933 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
4934 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
4935 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
4936 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
4937 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
4938 after the received time, and all would be well.
4939
494015. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
4941 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
4942 condition in an expansion string.
4943
494416. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
4945
494617. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
4947 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
4948 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
4949 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
4950 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
4951 job under whatever limits there are.
4952
495318. Imported PCRE 5.0.
4954
495519. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
4956 space).
4957
495820. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
4959 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
4960 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
4961 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
4962 return path is set.
4963
496421. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
4965 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
4966 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
4967 binary data in such strings.
4968
496922. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
4970
497123. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
4972 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
4973 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
4974 failure, which is pointless.
4975
497624. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
4977
497825. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
4979
498026. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
4981 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
4982 Sender: header lines.
4983
498427. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
4985 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
4986 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
4987
498828. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
4989 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
4990 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
4991 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
4992 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
4993 happens.
4994
499529. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
4996 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
4997 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
4998 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
4999 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5000
500130. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5002 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5003 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5004 1024.
5005
500631. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5007 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5008
500932. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5010 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5011
501233. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5013
501432. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5015
501633. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5017
501834. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5019 syntax error.
5020
502135. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5022
502336. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5024
502537. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5026 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5027 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5028 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5029
503038. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5031 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5032
5033
5034Exim version 4.42
5035-----------------
5036
5037 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5038 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5039 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5040 it was not quoted.
5041 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5042 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5043 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5044 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5045 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5046 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5047
5048 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5049 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5050 verification failure".
5051
5052 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5053 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5054 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5055 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5056
5057 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5058 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5059 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5060 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5061 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5062 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5063 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5064 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5065 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5066 treated as a timeout.
5067
5068 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5069 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5070 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5071 not set for Exim filters).
5072
5073 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5074 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5075 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5076
5077 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5078
5079 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5080 try to make them clearer.
5081
5082 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5083 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5084
5085 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5086
5087 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5088
508910. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5090 only the Cygwin environment.
5091
509211. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5093 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5094 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5095 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5096 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5097
509812. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5099 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5100 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5101 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5102 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5103 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5104 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5105
510613. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5107 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5108
510914. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5110
5111 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5112 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5113 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5114
5115 To: susanne@some.where
5116
5117 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5118 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5119 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5120 of addresses in From: header lines).
5121
5122 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5123 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5124 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5125
5126 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5127 treated as non-personal.
5128
5129 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5130 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5131
513215. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5133
513416. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5135
513617. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5137 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5138 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5139
514018. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5141 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5142
514319. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5144 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5145 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5146 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5147 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5148 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5149
515020. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5151 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5152 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5153 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5154 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5155 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5156 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5157 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5158
5159 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5160
516121. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5162 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5163
516422. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5165 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5166 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5167
516823. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5169 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5170
517124. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5172 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5173 rather than long int.
5174
517525. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5176
517726. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5178
5179
5180Exim version 4.41
5181-----------------
5182
5183 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5184 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5185 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5186 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5187 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5188 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5189
5190
5191Exim version 4.40
5192-----------------
5193
5194 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5195 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5196
5197 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5198 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5199 socklen_t is defined.
5200
5201 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5202 always exist.
5203
5204 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5205 configured.
5206
5207 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5208 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5209 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5210 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5211 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5212
5213 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5214 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5215 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5216 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5217
5218 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5219 of flapping under certain conditions.
5220
5221 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5222 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5223 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5224
5225 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5226
522710. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5228
522911. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5230 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5231 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5232 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5233
523412. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5235 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5236 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5237 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5238 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5239 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5240 preserved with the message after it was received.
5241
524213. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5243 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5244 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5245 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5246 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5247 test suite worked just fine.
5248
524914. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5250 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5251 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5252
525315. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5254 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5255 string.
5256
525716. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5258 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5259 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5260 does not fully solve it.
5261
526217. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5263 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5264 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5265 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5266 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5267
526818. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5269 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5270 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5271
527219. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5273 string, for example:
5274
5275 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5276
5277 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5278 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5279 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5280 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5281 the routers could not see them.
5282
528320. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5284 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5285
528621. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5287 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5288 output).
5289
529022. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5291 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5292 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5293 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5294 that needed quoting.
5295
529623. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5297 was not being matched caselessly.
5298
529924. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5300 backslashes.
5301
530225. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5303 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5304 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5305 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5306 when use_sender is false.
5307
530826. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5309
531027. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5311
531228. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5313
531429. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5315 the configuration file.
5316
531730. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5318 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5319
532031. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5321
532232. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5323 bytes in the message body.
5324
532533. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5326 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5327 delivery.
5328
532934. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5330
533135. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5332
533336. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5334 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5335 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5336 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5337 another IP address.
5338
5339
5340Exim version 4.34
5341-----------------
5342
5343 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5344 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5345
5346 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5347 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5348 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5349 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5350 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5351
5352 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5353 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5354
5355 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5356 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5357 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5358
5359 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5360 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5361 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5362
5363 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5364 for routers.
5365
5366 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5367 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5368 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5369 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5370 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5371 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5372 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5373
5374
5375Exim version 4.33
5376-----------------
5377
5378 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5379 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5380 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5381 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5382 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5383 default (and expected) setting.
5384
5385 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5386 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5387 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5388 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5389
5390 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5391 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5392
5393 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5394 in domain lists.
5395
5396 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5397 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5398 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5399 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5400 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5401 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5402
5403 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5404 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5405 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5406
5407 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5408 part (NOT match_host).
5409
5410 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5411
5412 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5413 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5414 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5415 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5416 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5417 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5418 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5419 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5420 the same named file.
5421
542210. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5423 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5424 when Exim is built.
5425
542611. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5427 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5428 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5429 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5430 a host name.
5431
543212. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5433 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5434 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5435
543613. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5437
543814. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5439
544015. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5441
544216. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5443 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5444
544517. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5446 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5447 before starting the TLS session.
5448
544918. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5450
545119. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5452 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5453
545420. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5455 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5456 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5457 colon in the middle).
5458
5459
5460Exim version 4.32
5461-----------------
5462
5463 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5464 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5465 multiple configurations are in use.
5466
5467 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5468 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5469 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5470 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5471 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5472 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5473
5474 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5475 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5476
5477 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5478 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5479 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5480
5481 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5482 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5483 occurs.
5484
5485 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
5486 that used bh_ and bheader_.
5487
5488 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
5489
5490 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
5491 allowing one more file than it should have been.
5492
5493 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
5494
5495 -prval:sval
5496
5497 is equivalent to
5498
5499 -oMr rval -oMs sval
5500
5501 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
5502 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
5503 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
5504 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
5505 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
5506
550710. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
5508 Exim's behaviour:
5509
5510 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
5511 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
5512 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
5513 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
5514 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
5515 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
5516
5517 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
5518 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
5519 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
5520 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
5521 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
5522 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
5523 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
5524 string.
5525
5526 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
5527 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
5528 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
5529 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
5530 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
5531
553211. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
5533
553412. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
5535 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
5536 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
5537
553813. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
5539
554014. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
5541 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
5542 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
5543 information.
5544
554515. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
5546 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
5547
554816. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
5549 Three changes have been made:
5550
5551 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
5552 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
5553 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
5554 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
5555 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
5556
5557 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
5558 been restored.
5559
5560 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
5561 the modified behaviour.
5562
5563
5564Exim version 4.31
5565-----------------
5566
5567 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
5568 Larry Rosenman.
5569
5570 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
5571 indeed breaks things for older releases.
5572
5573 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
5574 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
5575 try to track down a specific problem.
5576
5577 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
5578 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
5579 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
5580
5581 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
5582 warning.
5583
5584 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
5585 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
5586 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
5587 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
5588 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
5589 some earlier ones do not.
5590
5591 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
5592
5593 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
5594 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
5595 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5596 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
5597 address literals are enabled, of course).
5598
5599 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
5600
560110. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
5602 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
5603 by a command such as
5604
5605 exim -f "" ...
5606
5607 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
5608
560911. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
5610
561112. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
5612 remained set. It is now erased.
5613
561413. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
5615 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
5616
561714. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
5618 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
5619 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
5620 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
5621 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
5622 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
5623 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
5624 appropriate error code.
5625
562615. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
5627 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
5628 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
5629 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
5630 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
5631 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
5632
563316. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
5634 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
5635 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
5636
563717. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
5638 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
5639 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
5640 terminate the header.
5641
564218. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
5643 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
5644 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
5645
564619. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
5647 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
5648 (4.30/29). In particular:
5649
5650 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
5651 imposed.
5652
5653 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
5654 to write a maildirsize file.
5655
5656 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
5657 the transport, the new value overrides.
5658
5659 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
5660 count.
5661
566220. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
5663 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
5664 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
5665 space or a tab.
5666
566721. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
5668 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
5669 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
5670 the fallback hosts.
5671
567222. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
5673 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
5674 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
5675
567623. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
5677 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
5678 using a union.
5679
568024. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
5681 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
5682 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
5683
568425. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
5685
568626. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
5687
568827. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
5689
569028. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
5691 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
5692 become corrupted.
5693
569429. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
5695 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
5696 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
5697 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
5698 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
5699 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
5700 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
5701 too great.
5702
570330. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
5704 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
5705 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
5706 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
5707 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
5708 incorrectly.
5709
571031. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
5711 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
5712 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
5713 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
5714 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
5715 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
5716 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
5717 cached value only when the same options are set.
5718
571932. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
5720
572133. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
5722 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
5723 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
5724 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
5725 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
5726
572734: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
5728 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
5729 it is clearly obsolete.
5730
573135. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
5732 transport.
5733
573436. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
5735 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
5736 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
5737 times.
5738
573937. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
5740 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
5741 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
5742 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
5743 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
5744
574538. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
5746 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
5747 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
5748 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
5749
575039. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
5751
5752 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
5753
5754 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
5755 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
5756 2^31.
5757
575840. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
5759 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
5760 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
5761 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
5762 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
5763 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
5764 $localpart_data.
5765
576641. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
5767 with the -f command-line option.
5768
576942. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
5770 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
5771 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
5772 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
5773 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
5774 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5775
577643. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
5777 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
5778 line.
5779
578044. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
5781 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
5782 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
5783 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
5784 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
5785 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
5786 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
5787 buffer is too small.
5788
578945. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
5790 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
5791
579246. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
5793 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
5794 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
5795 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
5796 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
5797 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
5798 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
5799 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
5800 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
5801
580247. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
5803 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
5804 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
5805
580648. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
5807 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
5808 ACL").
5809
581049. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
5811 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
5812 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
5813 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
5814 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
5815
581650. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
5817 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
5818 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
5819 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
5820 is set.
5821
582251. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
5823
582452. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
5825
582653. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
5827 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
5828
582954. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
5830 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
5831 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
5832
583355. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
5834 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
5835 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
5836 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
5837 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
5838
583956. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
5840 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
5841 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
5842 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
5843 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
5844 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
5845 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
5846
584757. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
5848 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
5849 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
5850 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
5851 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
5852 the test of how many are available.
5853
585458. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
5855 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
5856 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 5857 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
5858 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
5859 new message is started.
5860
586159. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
5862 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
5863
586460. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
5865 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
5866
586761. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
5868 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
5869 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
5870 is no long logged.
5871
587262. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
5873 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
5874 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
5875 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
5876 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
5877 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
5878 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
5879
588063. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
5881 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
5882 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
5883 interpreted as octal.
5884
588564. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
5886 setting.
5887
588865. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
5889 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
5890 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
5891 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
5892 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
5893 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
5894
589566. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
5896 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
5897 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
5898 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
5899
5900 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
5901 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
5902 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
5903 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
5904
5905 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
5906 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
5907 is a bug fix.
5908
5909 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
5910 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
5911
591267. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5913
591468. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
5915 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
5916 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
5917 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
5918
591969. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
5920 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
5921 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
5922 supplied", which is not helpful.
5923
592470. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
5925 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
5926 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
5927
592871. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
5929 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
5930 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
5931 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
5932 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
5933 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
5934 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
5935 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
5936
593772. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
5938 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
5939 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
5940 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
5941 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
5942
594373. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
5944 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
5945 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
5946 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 5947 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
5948 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
5949
595074. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
5951 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
5952 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
5953
595475. Added write_rejectlog option.
5955
595676. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
5957 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
5958 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
5959 variables.
5960
596177. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
5962
596378. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
5964 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
5965 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
5966 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
5967 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
5968 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
5969 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
5970 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
5971
597279. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
5973 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
5974 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
5975 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
5976 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
5977
597880. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
5979 Haardt.
5980
598181. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
5982 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
5983 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
5984 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
5985 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
5986 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
5987 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
5988 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
5989 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
5990
5991
5992Exim version 4.30
5993-----------------
5994
5995 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
5996 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
5997 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
5998
5999 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6000 fixed.
6001
6002 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6003 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6004 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6005
6006 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6007 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6008 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6009 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6010 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6011 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6012
6013 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6014 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6015 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6016 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6017 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6018 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6019 the Exim test suite.
6020
6021 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6022 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6023 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6024 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6025
6026 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6027 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6028 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6029 specify it in this variable.
6030
6031 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6032 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6033 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6034 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6035
6036 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6037 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6038 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6039 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6040
6041 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6042 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6043 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6044 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6045 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6046
6047 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6048
604910. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6050 they are logged.
6051
605211. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6053 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6054 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6055 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6056 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6057
605812. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6059 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6060
606113. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6062 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6063 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6064 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6065 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6066
606714. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6068 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6069
607015. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6071 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6072 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6073
607416. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6075 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6076
607717. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6078 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6079
608018. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6081 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6082 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6083
608419. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6085 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6086
608720. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6088 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6089 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6090 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6091
609221. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6093
609422. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6095 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6096 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6097 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6098
609923. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6100
610124. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6102 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6103
610425. Added .include_if_exists.
6105
610626. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6107 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6108 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6109 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6110 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6111 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6112
611327. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6114
611528. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6116 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6117 this.
6118
611929. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6120
612130. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6122 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6123
6124 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6125 550 Sender verify failed
6126
6127 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6128 the final line of the response.
6129
613031. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6131 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6132 all other user lookups.
6133
613432. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6135 delivery time.
6136
613733. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6138 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6139 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6140 result into an int without checking.
6141
614234. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6143 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6144 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6145
614635. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6147 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6148 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6149 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6150
615136. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6152 correctly.
6153
615437. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6155 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6156
615738. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6158 to the empty sender.
6159
616039. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6161 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6162 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6163 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6164 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6165 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6166 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6167 panic log.
6168
616940. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6170 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6171 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6172 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6173 used.
6174
617541. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6176 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6177
617842. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6179 timestamps.
6180
618143. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6182 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6183
618444. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6185
618645. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6187 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6188 logs.
6189
619046. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6191 as soon as it is encountered.
6192
619347. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6194
619548. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6196 rewritten to "<>".
6197
619849. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6199 recognizes a tab character.
6200
620150. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6202 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6203 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6204 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6205
620651. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6207
620852. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6209 crash.
6210
621153. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6212
621354. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6214
621555. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6216 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6217 2822.
6218
621956. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6220 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6221 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6222 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6223 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6224
622557. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6226 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6227
622858. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6229 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6230 list (.included file names were always shown).
6231
623259. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6233 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6234 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6235 root at that time.
6236
623760. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6238 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6239
624061. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6241
624262. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6243
624463. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6245
624664. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6247 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6248 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6249 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6250 failures to open the logs.
6251
625265. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6253 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6254 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6255 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6256 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6257 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6258 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6259
6260
6261Exim version 4.24
6262-----------------
6263
6264 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6265 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6266 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6267 change 4.23/1.
6268
6269 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6270 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6271 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6272
6273 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6274 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6275 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6276
6277 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6278 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6279 causing some misleading effects.
6280
6281 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6282 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6283 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6284
6285 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6286 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6287 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6288 queue-runner function directly.
6289
6290
6291Exim version 4.23
6292-----------------
6293
6294 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6295 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6296
6297 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6298 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6299 was always written to the default place.
6300
6301 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6302 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6303 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6304
6305 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6306
6307 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6308
6309 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6310 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6311 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6312
6313 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6314 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6315 must start.
6316
6317 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6318 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6319 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6320
6321 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6322 command line option is disabled.
6323
6324 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6325 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6326
6327 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6328
6329 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6330
6331 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6332 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6333
633410. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6335
633611. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6337 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6338 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6339 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6340 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6341 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6342
634312. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6344 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6345 timeout.
6346
634713. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6348 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6349
635014. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6351 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6352
635315. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6354 received was valid base64.
6355
635616. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6357 name of the variable that was being set.
6358
635917. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6360
636118. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6362 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6363 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6364 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6365 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6366 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6367
636819. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6369
637020. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6371 nor realm was specified.
6372
637321. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6374 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6375 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6376 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6377
637822. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6379 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6380 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6381
638223. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6383 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6384 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6385
638624. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6387 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6388 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6389 some systems use these upper case variants.
6390
639125. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6392 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6393 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6394 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6395
639626. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6397
639827. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6399 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6400
640128. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6402 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6403 expansion variable.
6404
640529. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6406
640730. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6408 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6409 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6410 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6411
641231. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6413 using it.
6414
641532. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6416 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6417 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6418
641933. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6420 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6421
642234. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6423 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6424 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6425 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6426
642735. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6428 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6429 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6430
643136. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6432
643337. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6434 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6435 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6436 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6437 aborted.
6438
643938. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6440 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6441 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6442
644339. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6444
644540. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6446 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6447
644841. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6449 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6450
645142. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6452 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6453 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6454 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6455 when emails are that large.
6456
6457
6458
6459Exim version 4.22
6460-----------------
6461
6462 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6463 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6464
6465 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6466 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6467 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6468
6469 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6470 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6471 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6472
6473 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6474 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6475 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6476 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6477 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6478
6479 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6480 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6481 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6482 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6483 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6484 ever.
6485
6486 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
6487 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
6488 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
6489 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
6490 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
6491 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
6492 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
6493 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
6494 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
6495 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
6496 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
6497 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
6498 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
6499 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
6500
6501 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
6502 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
6503 parameterised it.
6504
6505 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
6506 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
6507 error should be diagnosed.
6508
6509 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
6510 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
6511 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
6512 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
6513 appeared instead of "NULL".
6514
651510. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
6516 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
6517 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
6518 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
6519 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
6520 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
6521 proceeds).
6522
6523 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
6524 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
6525 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
6526
6527
6528Exim version 4.21
6529-----------------
6530
6531 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
6532 or receiver verification errors.
6533
6534 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
6535 name.
6536
6537 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
6538 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
6539 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
6540 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
6541
6542 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
6543 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
6544 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
6545 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
6546 shouldn't happen again.
6547
6548 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
6549 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
6550 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
6551
6552 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
6553 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
6554
6555 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
6556
6557 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
6558 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
6559
6560 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
6561 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
6562 RFC.
6563
656410. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
6565 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
6566 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
6567
656811. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
6569 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
6570 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
6571 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
6572
657312. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
6574 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
6575 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
6576 to define what should happen).
6577
657813. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
6579 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
6580 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
6581
658214. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
6583
658415. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
6585
658616. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
6587 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
6588
4c04137d 658917. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
6590 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
6591 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
6592 structure in all cases.
6593
6594 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
6595 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
6596 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
6597 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
6598
659918. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
6600 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
6601 domain name.
6602
660319. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
6604 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
6605
660620. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
6607 MD5 (which is deprecated).
6608
660921. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
6610 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
6611 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
6612
661322. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
6614 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
6615 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
6616
661723. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
6618 the book and for uniformity.
6619
662024. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
6621
662225. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 6623 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
6624 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
6625 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
6626 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
6627 non-existent command as the problem.
6628
662926. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
6630 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
6631 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
6632
663327. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
6634
663528. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
6636 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
6637 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
6638
663929. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
6640 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
6641 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
6642 timestamps using strftime().
6643
664430. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
6645 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
6646
664732. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
6648 transport-time rewrites.
6649
665033. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
6651 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
6652 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
6653 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
6654
665534. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
6656 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
6657
665835. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
6659 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
6660 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
6661 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
6662 comma and a space.
6663
666436. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
6665 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
6666 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
6667 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
6668 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
6669 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
6670 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
6671
667237. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
6673 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
6674 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
6675 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
6676 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
6677
667838. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
6679 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
6680 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
6681 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
6682 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
6683 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
6684 remaining text gets split now.
6685
668639. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
6687 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
6688 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
6689 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
6690
669140. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
6692 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
6693 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
6694 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
6695 $return_path.
6696
669741. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
6698 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
6699 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
6700 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
6701 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
6702 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
6703 passed through if needed.
6704
670542. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
6706 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
6707 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
6708 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
6709 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
6710 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
6711
671243. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
6713 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
6714 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
6715 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
6716 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
6717
671844. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
6719 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
6720 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
6721 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
6722 incorrect size information for certain domains.
6723
672445. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
6725 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
6726 noticed.
6727
672846. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
6729 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
6730 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
6731 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
6732 mayhem of various kinds.
6733
673447. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
6735 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 6736 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
6737 the right test for positive values.
6738
673948. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
6740 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
6741 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
6742 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
6743 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
6744 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
6745 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
6746 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
6747 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
6748 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
6749 envelope.
6750
675149. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
6752 module.
6753
675450. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
6755 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
6756 forbidding it.
6757
675851. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
6759 the existing equality matching.
6760
676152. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
6762 dealing with inode numbers.
6763
676453. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
6765 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
6766 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
6767
676854. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
6769 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
6770 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
6771 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
6772 local_scan().
6773
677455. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
6775 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
6776 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
6777 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
6778 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
6779 relay addresses has also been removed.
6780
678156. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
6782
678357. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
6784 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
6785 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
6786
678758. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
6788 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
6789 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
6790 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
6791 processing applies to CR:
6792
6793 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
6794 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
6795
6796 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
6797 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
6798 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
6799 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
6800
680159. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
6802 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
6803 This is a VOB (very old bug).
6804
680560. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
6806 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
6807 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
6808 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
6809 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
6810 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
6811 arisen.
6812
681361. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
6814 program routers.
6815
681662. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
6817 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
6818 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
6819 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
6820 adds:
6821
6822 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
6823
6824 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
6825
6826 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
6827
682863. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
6829 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
6830 not considered personal.
6831
683264. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
6833
683465. Added queue_only_override (default true).
6835
683666. Added the syslog_duplication option.
6837
683867. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
6839 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
6840 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
6841 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
6842 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
6843 header lines, and spool format errors.
6844
684568. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
6846 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
6847 for more flexibility.

684969. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
6850 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
6851 consulting and updating the callout cache.
6852
685370. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
6854 Sabourenkov.
6855
685671. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
6857 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
6858 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
6859 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
6860 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
6861 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
6862 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
6863 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
6864 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
6865
686672. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
6867 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
6868 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
6869 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
6870 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
6871 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
6872 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
6873
687473. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
6875 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
6876 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
6877
687874. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
6879 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
6880 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
6881 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
6882 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
6883 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
6884 instead of killing the process with assert().
6885
688675. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
6887 than Unicode encoding.
6888
688976. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
6890 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
6891 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
6892 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
6893
689477. Added process_log_path.
6895
689678. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
6897 check_log_inodes was ignored.
6898
689979. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
6900 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
6901
690280. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
6903 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
6904 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
6905
690681. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
6907 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
6908 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
6909 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
6910 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
6911 were applied:
6912
6913 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
6914 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
6915 as invalid.
6916
691782. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
6918 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
6919 they will be used during message reception.
