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

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

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
27 cipher, Certificate or OCSP information.
28

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.

52JH/04 Bug 2004: fix CHUNKING in non-PIPELINEING mode. Chunk data following
53 close after a BDAT command line could be taken as a following command,
54 giving a synch failure. Fix by only checking for synch immediately
55 before acknowledging the chunk.

57PP/02 GitHub PR 52: many spelling fixes, which include fixing parsing of

59 macro. Patches provided by Josh Soref.

JH
61JH/05 Have the EHLO response advertise VRFY, if there is a vrfy ACL defined.
62 Previously we did not; the RFC seems ambiguous and VRFY is not listed
63 by IANA as a service extension. However, John Klensin suggests that we
64 should.
65
66JH/06 Bug 2017: Fix DKIM verification in -bh test mode. The data feed into
b895f4b2
JH
67 the dkim code may be unix-mode line endings rather than smtp wire-format
68 CRLF, so prepend a CR to any bare LF.
fd047340 69
bd8fbe36 70JH/07 Rationalise the coding for callout smtp conversations and transport ones.
902fbd69
JH
71 As a side-benfit, callouts can now use PIPELINING hence fewer round-trips.
72
bd8fbe36
JH
73JH/08 Bug 2016: Fix DKIM verification vs. CHUNKING. Any BDAT commands after
74 the first were themselves being wrongly included in the feed into dkim
75 processing; with most chunk sizes in use this resulted in an incorrect
76 body hash calculated value.
77
eea19017
JH
78JH/09 Bug 2014: permit inclusion of a DKIM-Signature header in a received
79 DKIM signature block, for verification. Although advised against by
80 standards it is specifically not ruled illegal.
81

JH
82JH/10 Bug 2025: Fix reception of (quoted) local-parts with embedded spaces.
83
84JH/11 Bug 2029: Fix crash in DKIM verification when a message signature block is
85 missing a body hash (the bh= tag).
86
87JH/12 Bug 2018: Re-order Proxy Protocol startup versus TLS-on-connect startup.
88 It seems that HAProxy sends the Proxy Protocol information in clear and
89 only then does a TLS startup, so do the same.
90
91JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
92 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
93 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
94 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
95 requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used
96 by non-daemon-related Exim processes.
97
98JH/14 Bug 2000: Reject messages recieved with CHUNKING but with malformed line
99 endings, at least on the first header line. Try to canonify any that get
100 past that check, despite the cost.

102JH/15 Angle-bracket nesting (an error inserted by broken sendmails) levels are
103 now limited to an arbitrary five deep, while parsing addresses with the

113
90341c71
JH
114JH/16 Drop variables when they go out of scope. Memory management drops a whole
115 region in one operation, for speed, and this leaves assigned pointers
116 dangling. Add checks run only under the testsuite which checks all
117 variables at a store-reset and panics on a dangling pointer; add code
118 explicitly nulling out all the variables discovered. Fixes one known
119 bug: a transport crash, where a dangling pointer for $sending_ip_address
120 originally assigned in a verify callout, is re-used.

150JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination
151 supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one).
8d042305 152
03d5892b
JH
153JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten
154 years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs
155 acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime.
156
4b0fe319
JH
157JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
158 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
159 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
160 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
161 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
162 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
163 if one fails this test.
164 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
165 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

98c82a3d
JH
187JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when
188 a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection.
189 This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough
190 connection after a verify cache hit.
191 Do not update it with the verify result either.
192
193JH/12 Cutthrough: disable when verify option success_on_redirect is used, and
194 when routing results in more than one destination address.
195
ae8386f0
JH
196JH/13 Cutthrough: expand transport dkim_domain option when testing for dkim
197 signing (which inhibits the cutthrough capability). Previously only
198 the presence of an option was tested; now an expansion evaluating as
199 empty is permissible (obviously it should depend only on data available
200 when the cutthrough connection is made).

380JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
381 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
382 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
383 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
4c04137d 384 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx response.

430JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM
431 support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones. This means DKIM is

JH
446JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was
447 incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a
448 body-termination at the receiving system - resulting in truncated mails.
62ac2eb7 449 Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message
1bc460a6
JH
450 via the normal store-and-forward channel. This could result in duplicates
451 received - but deduplicating mailstores were liable to retain only the
452 initial truncated version.

979TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
980
981 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
982 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
983 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
984 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
985 the retry rules.
986
987 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
988 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
989 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
990
991 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
992 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
993 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
994 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
995
1ddeb334
TF
996 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
997 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
998 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
999 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1000 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1001 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1002 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1003
1004 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1005 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1013 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1014 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1015 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1016 username as equal to the username.

1327TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1328 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1329 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1330
1331 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1332 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1333 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1334 not safe for signals.
1335
1336 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1337 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1338 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1339 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1340 exiwhat.
1341
c99ce5c9
TF
1342TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1343
1344 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1345 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1346 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1347 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1348 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1349
1350 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1351 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1352 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1353 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1354 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1355 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1356
1357 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1358 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1359 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1360 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1361
1362 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1363 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1364 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1365 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1366
1367 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1368 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1369 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1370 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1371 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1372 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1373 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1374 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1375 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1376
1377 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1378 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1379 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1380 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1381
1382 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1383 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1384 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1385 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1386 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1387 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1388 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1389 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1390 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1391 details in the main documentation.

1941 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1942 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
1943 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
1944 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
1945 build errors in sieve.c.

1961-----------------
1962
1963PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1964
6a3bceb1
PH
1965PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1966 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1967 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1968 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1969 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1970 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1971 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1972 for iplsearch lookups.
1973
1974 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1975 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1976 previously such lookups could never work.
1977
4c04137d 1978 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
1979 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1980 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1985MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1986 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1987 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1988 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1989 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1990 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
1995MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1996 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1997 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1998 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1999 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2000 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2077 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2078 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2079 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.

PH
2183PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2184 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2185 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2186 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2187 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2188 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2189 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2201PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
2202 Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
2203 SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
2204 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2205 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
2206 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
2207 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

2238 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it

2245 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the

PH
2263 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2264 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2265 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2266 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2267 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2268 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2269 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2270 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2281PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2282 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2283
2284 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2285 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2286
2287 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2288 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2289 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2290
2291 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2292 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2293 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2294 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2295 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2320TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
2321 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
2322 While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
2323 filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
2324 these files.
2325
2326TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
2327 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
2328 triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
2329
2330TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
2331 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
2332 hence the _LINUX specificness.

2334TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,
2335 there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any
2336 header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
2337 in the field name.

PH
2339PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2340 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2341 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2342 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2343 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2344 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2345 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2346 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2347 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2348 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2349 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2354PH/03 On Solaris, an unexpectedly close socket (dropped connection) can
2355 manifest itself as EPIPE rather than ECONNECT. When tidying away a
2356 session, the daemon ignores ECONNECT errors and logs others; it now
2357 ignores EPIPE as well.

PH
2383PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
2384 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
2385 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2386 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2387 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2388 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2389 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2390 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.
6ea85e9a 2391
14aa5a05 2392PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 2393 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2394 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2395 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2396 function.
2397 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2398 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2399 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2400 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2401 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2402 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2403 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2404 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2405 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

e6f6568e
PH
2410PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2411 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2412 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2413 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2414 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2415 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2416 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2417 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
2419PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to
2420 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
2421 list.
2422
322050c2
PH
2423PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2424 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2425 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2426 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2427 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2428 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2429 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2430 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2431 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2432 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2433 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2434 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2435 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).
2436
08955dd3
PH
2437PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2438 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2439 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2440 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2441 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2442 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2443 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.
2444
1eccaa59
PH
2445PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2446 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2447 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2448 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2449 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2450 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2451 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2452 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2453 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2454 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.
2455
602e59e5
PH
2456PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2457 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2458 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2459 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2460 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.
2461
411ef850
PH
2462PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2463 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2464 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2465 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2466 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2467 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2468 RSA_EXPORT functionality.
2469
7befa435
PH
2470PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
2471 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
2472 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
2473 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2474 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2475 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2476 been verified.
2477
48da4259 2478PH/22 As suggested by Dennis Davis, added a server_condition option to *all*

2479 authenticators. This can be used for authorization after authentication
2480 succeeds. (In the case of plaintext, it servers for both authentication
2481 and authorization.)

2494PH/27 In a string expansion for a processed (not raw) header when multiple

PH
2507
2508PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2509 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2510 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2511 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2512 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2513 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2514 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2515 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2516 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2517
2518 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2519 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2520 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2521 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2522 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2523 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2524 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2525 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2526 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2527
2528 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2529 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2530 hammering the server.

2541PH/34 The spec says: "With one important exception, whenever a domain list is

520de300
PH
2545PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2546 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
2547 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
2548 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2549 fails.
2550
48c7f9e2
PH
2551PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2552 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2553 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2554 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2555 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
2556 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2557 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2558 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2559 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2560 smtp transport.

PH
2562PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the

2565 same for both kinds of LMTP.

2828PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".

2831 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2832 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2833 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2834 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2835 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

2875 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2876 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2877 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2878 addresses as local.

2921 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2957 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2958 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2959 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2960 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2961 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2962 values from the SRV records were lost.

2964PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

2972PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2973 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2974 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2975 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2976 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2977 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2978 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2979 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2980 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

3077PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put

3080 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3081 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3082 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3083 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode

3094PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
3095 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
3096 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
3097 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3098 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3099 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
3100 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
3101 the variable.

3121PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3122 used in LMTP mode:
3123
3124 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3125 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3126 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3127 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3128
3129 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3130 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3131 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3132
3133PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3134 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3135 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3136 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3137 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

3207PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3208 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3209 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3210 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3211 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3212 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3213 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3214 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3215 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3216 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3217 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3240
3241 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
3242 string.
3243
3244 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
3245 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
3246 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3247 silly things.
3248
3249 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
3250 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
3251

3273PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
3274 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
3275 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
3276 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3277 identical. For example:
3278
3279 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3280
3281 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
3282 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
3283 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

PH
3316 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of

3318 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3319
3320 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3321
3322 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3323
3324 The auto-replied keyword:
3325
3326 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3327 message by an automatic process,
3328

3374 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3375 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3376 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3377 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3378 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3379 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3380 the text comparison.

3499
3500 - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
3501 - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.

3893TK/03 Fix ACL "regex" condition not being available in MIME ACL.
3894
3895PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
3896 to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
3897
3898PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
3899 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
3900 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3901 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3902 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3903 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3904 file.
3905
3906PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3907 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3908 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3909 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3910 these two options.
3911
3912PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3913 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3914 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3915 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3916 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3917 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3918 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3919 address.
1a46a8c5
PH
3920
3921PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
3922 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
3923
3924PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3925 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3926 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3927 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3928 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3929 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
3930
3931PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
3932 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
3933 commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
3934 SMTP commands that take arguments.
3935
3936PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony

PH
3981PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
3982 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
3983 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
3984 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3985 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
3986 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
3987 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
3988 for failure.
3989
f9b9210e
PH
3990PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
3991 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
3992 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
3993 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
3994 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
3995 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
3996 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
3997 "input=".

4006
c5ddb310
PH
4007PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4008 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4009 understands it better than I do:
4010
4011 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4012 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4013
4014 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4015 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4016 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4017 => three warnings about OTP not working
4018 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4019
4020 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4021 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4022 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4023 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4024 for each call.)
4025 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4026 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4027
4028 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4029 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4030 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

PH
4094PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4095 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4096 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4097 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4098 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4099 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4100 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4101
4102 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4103 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4104 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4105 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4106 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4107
4108 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4109 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4110 routed further.

4116 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
4117 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

4139 (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
4140
4141 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
4142 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
4143 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

4151PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
4152 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while

4154 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4155 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4156 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4157 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4158 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4159 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
4160 the log output.

4169A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4170----------------------------------------
4171
4172Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4173changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4174needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4175in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4176that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4177release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4178from 4.43.
4179
4180I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
41814.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4182those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4183historical information.

4201 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4202 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4203 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4204 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4205 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

4209 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4210 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4211 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4212 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

4261
426223. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4263 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4264 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4265 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4266 "[x.x.x.x]".

426824. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the

4270 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4271
427225. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4273 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4274 wake it up if nothing else does.

428127. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4282 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
4283
af66f652
PH
428428. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
4285
90af77f4
PH
428629. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4287 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4288 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4289 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4290 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4291 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4292 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4293 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
4294
d8ef3577
PH
429530. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
4296 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
4297 than one IP address.
4298
5cb8cbc6
PH
429931. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4300 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
4301 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
4302 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
4303
14702f5b
PH
430432. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4305 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4306 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4307 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4308 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4309 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4310
063b1e99
PH
431133. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4312 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4313 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4314 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4315
652e1b65
PH
431634. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4317 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4318 respected.
4319
6f0c9a4f
PH
432035. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4321 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4322 $sender_host_address.
4323
33397d19
PH
432436. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4325 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4326 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4327 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4328 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4329 very small.
4330
7bb56e1f
PH
433137. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
4332
4333 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
4334 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
4335
ea3bc19b
PH
4336 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
4337 just the host names, not the priorities.
4338
4339 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
4340 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
4341 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 4342
ea3bc19b 4343 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 4344 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 4345
0bcb2a0e
PH
434638. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
4347 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
4348 domain.
4349
2ac0e484
PH
435039. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
4351
4e1fde53
PH
435240. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
4353 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
4354
de365ded
PH
435541. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4356 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4357 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
4358
f05da2e8
PH
435942. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
4360
d6453af2
PH
436143. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
4362
f7b63901
PH
436344. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
4364
436545. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4366 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4367 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4368 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4369 because the tests only now provoked it.
4370
a444213a
PH
437146. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4372 (this can affect the format of dates).
4373
0ec020ea
PH
437447. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4375 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4376 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4377 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
4378
b1206957
PH
437948. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
4380
438149. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4382 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4383 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4384 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
4385
26dd5a95
PH
438650. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4387 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4388 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
4389
343b2385
PH
439051. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
4391 autoreply.
4392
1c5466b9
PH
439352. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4394 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4395 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4396 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4397 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4398 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4399 is going on).
4400
55ee9ee3
PH
440153. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
4402 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
4403 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
4404 the line.
4405
d38f8232
PH
440654. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
4407 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
4408 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
4409
4410 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
4411 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
4412 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
4413 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
4414 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
4415 so I produce this patch..."
4416
3295e65b
PH
4417 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
4418 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
4419 is not defined.
4420
7102e136
PH
442155. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4422 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
4423 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4424 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
ea3a6f44 4425 CAN-2005-0021
7102e136 4426

PH
442756. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
4428
c2bcbe20
PH
442957. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
4430 long debug lines gets shown.
4431
18ce445d
PH
443258. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
4433 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
4434
1f5b4c3d
PH
443559. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
4436
4437 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
4438 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
4439 of $primary_hostname.
4440
b975ba52
PH
444160. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4442 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4443 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4444 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
4445 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4446 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4447 by change 4.50/55 above.
4448
4449 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4450 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4451 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4452 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4453 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4454 running as the user.
ea3a6f44 4455 CAN-2005-0021
85b87bc2
PH
4456
445761. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4458 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
4459 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 4460 CAN-2005-0022
b975ba52 4461

PH
446262. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
4463 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
4464
d95f9fdb
PH
446563. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4466 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4467 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4468 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4469 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
4470
86b8287f
PH
447164. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
4472 This has been fixed.
4473
60dc5e56
PH
447465. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4475 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4476 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4477 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4478 the caching.)
4479
533244af
PH
448066. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
4481
a5a28604
PH
448267. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
4483 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
4484 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
4485 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
4486
7e634d24
PH
448768. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
4488 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
4489
3e11c26b
PH
449069. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
4491 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
4492 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
4493
6729cf78
PH
449470. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
4495 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
4496 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
4497 message there.
4498
00f00ca5
PH
449971. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
4500 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
4501 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
4502
c9bdd01c
PH
450372. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
4504 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
4505 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
4506 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
4507
d43194df
PH
450873. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
4509 during host lookups.
4510
fe5b5d0b
PH
451174. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
4512 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
4513
4514 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
4515
76a2d7ba
PH
451675. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
4517 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
4518 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
4519 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
4520 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
4521 background.
4522
452376. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
4524 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
4525
04f7d5b9
PH
452677. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
4527 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
4528 for the non-SMTP ACL.
4529
bc60667e
PH
453078. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
4531
bb6e88ff
PH
453279. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
4533 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
4534 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
4535 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
4536 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
4537 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
4538 process earlier.
4539
1e70f85b
PH
454080. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
4541 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
4542 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
4543 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
4544 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
4545
454681. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
4547 tables).

4560----------------------------------------------------
4561See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
4562----------------------------------------------------
4563
4564
4565Exim version 4.44
4566-----------------
4567
4568 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
4569 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
4570 transport
4571
4572 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
4573 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
4574 place.
4575
4576 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4577 filter fails to execute.
4578
4579 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4580 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4581 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4582 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4583 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4584
4585 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4586 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4587 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4588 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
4589
4590 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4591 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4592 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4593 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4594 control that does not make sense is encountered.
4595
4596 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
4597
4598 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
4599 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
4600 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
4601 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
4602
4603 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4604 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4605 sender verification.
4606
460710. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
4608 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
4609
461011. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
4611 the spool by the -Mrm option.
4612
461312. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4614 ignore_target_hosts.
4615
461613. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4617 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4618 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4619 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4620 "[x.x.x.x]".
4621
462214. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4623 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4624 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4625
462615. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4627 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4628 wake it up if nothing else does.
4629
463016. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4631 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4632 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4633 end up negative.
4634
463517. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4636 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
4637
ea3a6f44 463818. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
4639
464019. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
4641 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
4642 empty pattern.
4643
464420. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
4645 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
4646 one IP address.
4647
ea3a6f44
NM
464821. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4649 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4650 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4651 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4652 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4653 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 4654
ea3a6f44
NM
465522. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4656 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4657 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
4658
465923. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4660 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4661 $sender_host_address.
4662
466324. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
4664
ea3a6f44
NM
466525. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4666 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4667 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
4668
466926. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 4670 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 4671
ea3a6f44
NM
467227. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4673 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 4674
ea3a6f44

467528. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4676 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4677 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4678 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.

468430. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4685 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4686 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4687 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.

468931. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4690 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4691 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.

469632. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4697 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4698 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4699 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4700 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4701 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4702 is going on).

470433. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4705 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
4706 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4707 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

471034. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4711 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4712 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4713 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
4714 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4715 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4716 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
4717
4718 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4719 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4720 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4721 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4722 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4723 running as the user.

472635. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4727 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the

473136. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4732 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4733 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4734 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4735 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 4736

473737. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4738 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4739 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4740 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4741 the caching.)

474338. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4744 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4745 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4746 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4747 because the tests only now provoked it.

4750Exim version 4.43
4751-----------------
4752
4753 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
4754 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
4755 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
4756 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
4757 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
4758 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
4759 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
4760
4761 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
4762 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
4763 the delivery.
4764
4765 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
4766
4767 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
4768
4769 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
4770 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
4771 to local_scan().
4772
4773 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
4774 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
4775 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
4776 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
4777 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
4778
4779 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
4780 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
4781
4782 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
4783
4784 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
4785
478610. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
4787 header_sender only.
4788
478911. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
4790 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
4791
479212. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
4793 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
4794 affecting debugging statements).
4795
479613. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
4797
479814. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
4799 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
4800 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
4801 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
4802 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
4803 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
4804 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
4805 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
4806 after the received time, and all would be well.
4807
480815. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
4809 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
4810 condition in an expansion string.
4811
481216. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
4813
481417. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
4815 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
4816 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
4817 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
4818 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
4819 job under whatever limits there are.
4820
482118. Imported PCRE 5.0.
4822
482319. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
4824 space).
4825
482620. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
4827 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
4828 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
4829 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
4830 return path is set.
4831
483221. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
4833 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
4834 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
4835 binary data in such strings.
4836
483722. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
4838
483923. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
4840 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
4841 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
4842 failure, which is pointless.
4843
484424. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
4845
484625. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
4847
484826. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
4849 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
4850 Sender: header lines.
4851
485227. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
4853 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
4854 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
4855
485628. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
4857 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
4858 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
4859 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
4860 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
4861 happens.
4862
486329. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
4864 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
4865 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
4866 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
4867 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
4868
486930. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
4870 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
4871 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
4872 1024.
4873
487431. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
4875 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
4876
487732. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
4878 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
4879
488033. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
4881
488232. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
4883
488433. Added an ACL for QUIT.
4885
488634. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
4887 syntax error.
4888
488935. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
4890
489136. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
4892
489337. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
4894 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
4895 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
4896 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
4897
489838. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
4899 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
4900
4901
4902Exim version 4.42
4903-----------------
4904
4905 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
4906 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
4907 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
4908 it was not quoted.
4909 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
4910 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
4911 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
4912 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
4913 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
4914 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
4915
4916 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
4917 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
4918 verification failure".
4919
4920 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
4921 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
4922 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
4923 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
4924
4925 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
4926 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
4927 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
4928 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
4929 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
4930 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
4931 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
4932 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
4933 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
4934 treated as a timeout.
4935
4936 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
4937 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
4938 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
4939 not set for Exim filters).
4940
4941 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
4942 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
4943 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
4944
4945 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
4946
4947 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
4948 try to make them clearer.
4949
4950 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
4951 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
4952
4953 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
4954
4955 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
4956
495710. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
4958 only the Cygwin environment.
4959
496011. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
4961 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
4962 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
4963 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
4964 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
4965
496612. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
4967 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
4968 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
4969 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
4970 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
4971 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
4972 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
4973
497413. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
4975 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
4976
497714. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
4978
4979 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
4980 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
4981 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
4982
4983 To: susanne@some.where
4984
4985 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
4986 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
4987 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
4988 of addresses in From: header lines).
4989
4990 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
4991 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
4992 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
4993
4994 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
4995 treated as non-personal.
4996
4997 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
4998 because it now seems ill-conceived.
4999
500015. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5001
500216. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5003
500417. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5005 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5006 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5007
500818. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5009 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5010
501119. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5012 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5013 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5014 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5015 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5016 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5017
501820. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5019 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5020 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5021 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5022 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5023 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5024 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5025 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5026
5027 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5028
502921. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5030 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5031
503222. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5033 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5034 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5035
503623. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5037 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5038
503924. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5040 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5041 rather than long int.
5042
504325. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5044
504526. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5046
5047
5048Exim version 4.41
5049-----------------
5050
5051 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5052 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5053 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5054 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5055 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5056 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5057
5058
5059Exim version 4.40
5060-----------------
5061
5062 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5063 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5064
5065 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5066 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5067 socklen_t is defined.
5068
5069 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5070 always exist.
5071
5072 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5073 configured.
5074
5075 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5076 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5077 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5078 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5079 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5080
5081 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5082 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5083 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5084 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5085
5086 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5087 of flapping under certain conditions.
5088
5089 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5090 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5091 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5092
5093 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5094
509510. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5096
509711. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5098 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5099 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5100 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5101
510212. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5103 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5104 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5105 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5106 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5107 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5108 preserved with the message after it was received.
5109
511013. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5111 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5112 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5113 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5114 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5115 test suite worked just fine.
5116
511714. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5118 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5119 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5120
512115. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5122 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5123 string.
5124
512516. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5126 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5127 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5128 does not fully solve it.
5129
513017. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5131 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5132 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5133 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5134 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5135
513618. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5137 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5138 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5139
514019. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5141 string, for example:
5142
5143 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5144
5145 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5146 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5147 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5148 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5149 the routers could not see them.
5150
515120. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5152 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5153
515421. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5155 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5156 output).
5157
515822. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5159 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5160 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5161 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5162 that needed quoting.
5163
516423. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5165 was not being matched caselessly.
5166
516724. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5168 backslashes.
5169
517025. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5171 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5172 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5173 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5174 when use_sender is false.
5175
517626. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5177
517827. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5179
518028. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5181
518229. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5183 the configuration file.
5184
518530. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5186 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5187
518831. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5189
519032. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5191 bytes in the message body.
5192
519333. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5194 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5195 delivery.
5196
519734. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5198
519935. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5200
520136. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5202 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5203 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5204 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5205 another IP address.
5206
5207
5208Exim version 4.34
5209-----------------
5210
5211 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5212 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5213
5214 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5215 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5216 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5217 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5218 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5219
5220 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5221 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5222
5223 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5224 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5225 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5226
5227 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5228 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5229 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5230
5231 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5232 for routers.
5233
5234 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5235 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5236 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5237 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5238 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5239 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5240 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5241
5242
5243Exim version 4.33
5244-----------------
5245
5246 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5247 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5248 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5249 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5250 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5251 default (and expected) setting.
5252
5253 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5254 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5255 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5256 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5257
5258 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5259 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5260
5261 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5262 in domain lists.
5263
5264 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5265 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5266 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5267 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5268 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5269 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5270
5271 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5272 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5273 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5274
5275 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5276 part (NOT match_host).
5277
5278 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5279
5280 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5281 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5282 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5283 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5284 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5285 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5286 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5287 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5288 the same named file.
5289
529010. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5291 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5292 when Exim is built.
5293
529411. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5295 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5296 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5297 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5298 a host name.
5299
530012. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5301 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5302 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5303
530413. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5305
530614. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5307
530815. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5309
531016. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5311 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5312
531317. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5314 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5315 before starting the TLS session.
5316
531718. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5318
531919. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5320 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5321
532220. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5323 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5324 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5325 colon in the middle).
5326
5327
5328Exim version 4.32
5329-----------------
5330
5331 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5332 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5333 multiple configurations are in use.
5334
5335 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5336 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5337 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5338 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5339 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5340 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5341
5342 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5343 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5344
5345 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5346 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5347 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5348
5349 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5350 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5351 occurs.
5352
5353 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
5354 that used bh_ and bheader_.
5355
5356 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
5357
5358 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
5359 allowing one more file than it should have been.
5360
5361 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
5362
5363 -prval:sval
5364
5365 is equivalent to
5366
5367 -oMr rval -oMs sval
5368
5369 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
5370 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
5371 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
5372 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
5373 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
5374
537510. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
5376 Exim's behaviour:
5377
5378 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
5379 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
5380 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
5381 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
5382 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
5383 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
5384
5385 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
5386 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
5387 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
5388 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
5389 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
5390 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
5391 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
5392 string.
5393
5394 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
5395 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
5396 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
5397 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
5398 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
5399
540011. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
5401
540212. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
5403 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
5404 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
5405
540613. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
5407
540814. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
5409 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
5410 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
5411 information.
5412
541315. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
5414 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
5415
541616. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
5417 Three changes have been made:
5418
5419 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
5420 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
5421 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
5422 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
5423 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
5424
5425 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
5426 been restored.
5427
5428 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
5429 the modified behaviour.
5430
5431
5432Exim version 4.31
5433-----------------
5434
5435 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
5436 Larry Rosenman.
5437
5438 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
5439 indeed breaks things for older releases.
5440
5441 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
5442 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
5443 try to track down a specific problem.
5444
5445 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
5446 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
5447 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
5448
5449 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
5450 warning.
5451
5452 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
5453 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
5454 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
5455 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
5456 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
5457 some earlier ones do not.
5458
5459 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
5460
5461 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
5462 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
5463 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5464 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
5465 address literals are enabled, of course).
5466
5467 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
5468
546910. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
5470 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
5471 by a command such as
5472
5473 exim -f "" ...
5474
5475 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
5476
547711. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
5478
547912. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
5480 remained set. It is now erased.
5481
548213. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
5483 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
5484
548514. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
5486 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
5487 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
5488 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
5489 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
5490 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
5491 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
5492 appropriate error code.
5493
549415. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
5495 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
5496 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
5497 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
5498 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
5499 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
5500
550116. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
5502 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
5503 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
5504
550517. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
5506 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
5507 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
5508 terminate the header.
5509
551018. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
5511 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
5512 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
5513
551419. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
5515 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
5516 (4.30/29). In particular:
5517
5518 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
5519 imposed.
5520
5521 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
5522 to write a maildirsize file.
5523
5524 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
5525 the transport, the new value overrides.
5526
5527 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
5528 count.
5529
553020. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
5531 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
5532 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
5533 space or a tab.
5534
553521. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
5536 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
5537 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
5538 the fallback hosts.
5539
554022. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
5541 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
5542 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
5543
554423. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
5545 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
5546 using a union.
5547
554824. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
5549 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
5550 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
5551
555225. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
5553
555426. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
5555
555627. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
5557
555828. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
5559 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
5560 become corrupted.
5561
556229. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
5563 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
5564 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
5565 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
5566 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
5567 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
5568 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
5569 too great.
5570
557130. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
5572 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
5573 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
5574 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
5575 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
5576 incorrectly.
5577
557831. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
5579 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
5580 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
5581 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
5582 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
5583 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
5584 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
5585 cached value only when the same options are set.
5586
558732. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
5588
558933. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
5590 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
5591 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
5592 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
5593 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
5594
559534: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
5596 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
5597 it is clearly obsolete.
5598
559935. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
5600 transport.
5601
560236. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
5603 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
5604 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
5605 times.
5606
560737. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
5608 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
5609 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
5610 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
5611 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
5612
561338. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
5614 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
5615 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
5616 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
5617
561839. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
5619
5620 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
5621
5622 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
5623 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
5624 2^31.
5625
562640. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
5627 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
5628 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
5629 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
5630 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
5631 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
5632 $localpart_data.
5633
563441. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
5635 with the -f command-line option.
5636
563742. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
5638 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
5639 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
5640 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
5641 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
5642 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5643
564443. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
5645 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
5646 line.
5647
564844. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
5649 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
5650 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
5651 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
5652 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
5653 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
5654 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
5655 buffer is too small.
5656
565745. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
5658 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
5659
566046. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
5661 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
5662 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
5663 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
5664 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
5665 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
5666 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
5667 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
5668 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
5669
567047. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
5671 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
5672 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
5673
567448. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
5675 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
5676 ACL").
5677
567849. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
5679 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
5680 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
5681 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
5682 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
5683
568450. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
5685 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
5686 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
5687 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
5688 is set.
5689
569051. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
5691
569252. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
5693
569453. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
5695 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
5696
569754. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
5698 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
5699 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
5700
570155. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
5702 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
5703 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
5704 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
5705 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
5706
570756. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
5708 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
5709 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
5710 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
5711 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
5712 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
5713 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
5714
571557. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
5716 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
5717 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
5718 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
5719 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
5720 the test of how many are available.
5721
572258. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
5723 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
5724 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 5725 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
5726 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
5727 new message is started.
5728
572959. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
5730 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
5731
573260. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
5733 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
5734
573561. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
5736 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
5737 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
5738 is no long logged.
5739
574062. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
5741 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
5742 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
5743 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
5744 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
5745 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
5746 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
5747
574863. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
5749 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
5750 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
5751 interpreted as octal.
5752
575364. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
5754 setting.
5755
575665. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
5757 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
5758 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
5759 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
5760 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
5761 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
5762
576366. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
5764 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
5765 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
5766 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
5767
5768 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
5769 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
5770 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
5771 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
5772
5773 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
5774 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
5775 is a bug fix.
5776
5777 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
5778 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
5779
578067. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5781
578268. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
5783 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
5784 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
5785 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
5786
578769. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
5788 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
5789 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
5790 supplied", which is not helpful.
5791
579270. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
5793 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
5794 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
5795
579671. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
5797 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
5798 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
5799 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
5800 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
5801 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
5802 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
5803 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
5804
580572. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
5806 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
5807 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
5808 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
5809 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
5810
581173. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
5812 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
5813 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
5814 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 5815 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
5816 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
5817
581874. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
5819 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
5820 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
5821
582275. Added write_rejectlog option.
5823
582476. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
5825 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
5826 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
5827 variables.
5828
582977. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
5830
583178. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
5832 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
5833 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
5834 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
5835 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
5836 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
5837 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
5838 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
5839
584079. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
5841 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
5842 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
5843 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
5844 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
5845
584680. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
5847 Haardt.
5848
584981. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
5850 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
5851 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
5852 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
5853 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
5854 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
5855 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
5856 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
5857 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
5858
5859
5860Exim version 4.30
5861-----------------
5862
5863 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
5864 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
5865 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
5866
5867 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
5868 fixed.
5869
5870 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
5871 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
5872 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
5873
5874 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
5875 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
5876 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
5877 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
5878 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 5879 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
5880
5881 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
5882 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
5883 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
5884 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
5885 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
5886 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
5887 the Exim test suite.
5888
5889 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
5890 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
5891 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
5892 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
5893
5894 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
5895 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
5896 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
5897 specify it in this variable.
5898
5899 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
5900 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
5901 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
5902 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
5903
5904 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
5905 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
5906 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
5907 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
5908
5909 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
5910 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
5911 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
5912 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
5913 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
5914
5915 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
5916
591710. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
5918 they are logged.
5919
592011. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
5921 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
5922 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
5923 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
5924 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
5925
592612. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
5927 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
5928
592913. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
5930 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 5931 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
5932 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
5933 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
5934
593514. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
5936 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
5937
593815. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
5939 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5940 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
5941
594216. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
5943 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
5944
594517. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
5946 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
5947
594818. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
5949 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
5950 to get rid of the compiler warning.
5951
595219. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
5953 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
5954
595520. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
5956 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
5957 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
5958 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
5959
596021. Added the -t option to exigrep.
5961
596222. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
5963 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
5964 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
5965 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
5966
596723. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
5968
596924. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
5970 line; previously there was no indication of these.
5971
597225. Added .include_if_exists.
5973
597426. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
5975 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
5976 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
5977 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
5978 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
5979 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
5980
598127. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
5982
598328. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
5984 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
5985 this.
5986
598729. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
5988
598930. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
5990 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
5991
5992 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
5993 550 Sender verify failed
5994
5995 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
5996 the final line of the response.
5997
599831. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
5999 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6000 all other user lookups.
6001
600232. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6003 delivery time.
6004
600533. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6006 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6007 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6008 result into an int without checking.
6009
601034. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6011 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6012 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6013
601435. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6015 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6016 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6017 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6018
601936. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6020 correctly.
6021
602237. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6023 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6024
602538. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6026 to the empty sender.
6027
602839. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6029 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6030 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6031 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6032 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6033 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6034 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6035 panic log.
6036
603740. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6038 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6039 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6040 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6041 used.
6042
604341. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6044 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6045
604642. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6047 timestamps.
6048
604943. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6050 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6051
605244. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6053
605445. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6055 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6056 logs.
6057
605846. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6059 as soon as it is encountered.
6060
606147. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6062
606348. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6064 rewritten to "<>".
6065
606649. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6067 recognizes a tab character.
6068
606950. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6070 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6071 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6072 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6073
607451. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6075
607652. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6077 crash.
6078
607953. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6080
608154. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6082
608355. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6084 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6085 2822.
6086
608756. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6088 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6089 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6090 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6091 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6092
609357. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6094 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6095
609658. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6097 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6098 list (.included file names were always shown).
6099
610059. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6101 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6102 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6103 root at that time.
6104
610560. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6106 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6107
610861. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6109
611062. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6111
611263. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6113
611464. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6115 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6116 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6117 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6118 failures to open the logs.
6119
612065. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6121 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6122 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6123 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6124 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6125 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6126 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6127
6128
6129Exim version 4.24
6130-----------------
6131
6132 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6133 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6134 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6135 change 4.23/1.
6136
6137 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6138 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6139 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6140
6141 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6142 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6143 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6144
6145 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6146 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6147 causing some misleading effects.
6148
6149 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6150 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6151 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6152
6153 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6154 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6155 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6156 queue-runner function directly.
6157
6158
6159Exim version 4.23
6160-----------------
6161
6162 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6163 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6164
6165 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6166 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6167 was always written to the default place.
6168
6169 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6170 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6171 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6172
6173 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6174
6175 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6176
6177 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6178 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6179 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6180
6181 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6182 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6183 must start.
6184
6185 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6186 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6187 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6188
6189 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6190 command line option is disabled.
6191
6192 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6193 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6194
6195 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6196
6197 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6198
6199 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6200 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6201
620210. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6203
620411. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6205 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6206 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6207 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6208 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6209 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6210
621112. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6212 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6213 timeout.
6214
621513. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6216 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6217
621814. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6219 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6220
622115. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6222 received was valid base64.
6223
622416. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6225 name of the variable that was being set.
6226
622717. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6228
622918. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6230 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6231 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6232 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6233 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6234 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6235
623619. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6237
623820. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6239 nor realm was specified.
6240
624121. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6242 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6243 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6244 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6245
624622. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6247 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6248 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6249
625023. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6251 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6252 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6253
625424. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6255 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6256 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6257 some systems use these upper case variants.
6258
625925. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6260 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6261 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6262 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6263
626426. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6265
626627. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6267 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6268
626928. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6270 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6271 expansion variable.
6272
627329. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6274
627530. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6276 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6277 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6278 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6279
628031. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6281 using it.
6282
628332. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6284 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6285 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6286
628733. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6288 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6289
629034. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6291 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6292 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6293 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6294
629535. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6296 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6297 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6298
629936. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6300
630137. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6302 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6303 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6304 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6305 aborted.
6306
630738. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6308 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6309 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6310
631139. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6312
631340. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6314 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6315
631641. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6317 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6318
631942. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6320 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6321 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6322 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6323 when emails are that large.
6324
6325
6326
6327Exim version 4.22
6328-----------------
6329
6330 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6331 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6332
6333 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6334 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6335 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6336
6337 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6338 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6339 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6340
6341 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6342 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6343 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6344 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6345 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6346
6347 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6348 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6349 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6350 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6351 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6352 ever.
6353
6354 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
6355 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
6356 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
6357 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
6358 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
6359 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
6360 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
6361 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
6362 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
6363 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
6364 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
6365 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
6366 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
6367 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
6368
6369 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
6370 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
6371 parameterised it.
6372
6373 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
6374 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
6375 error should be diagnosed.
6376
6377 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
6378 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
6379 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
6380 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
6381 appeared instead of "NULL".
6382
638310. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
6384 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
6385 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
6386 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
6387 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
6388 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
6389 proceeds).
6390
6391 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
6392 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
6393 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
6394
6395
6396Exim version 4.21
6397-----------------
6398
6399 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
6400 or receiver verification errors.
6401
6402 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
6403 name.
6404
6405 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
6406 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
6407 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
6408 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
6409
6410 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
6411 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
6412 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
6413 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
6414 shouldn't happen again.
6415
6416 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
6417 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
6418 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
6419
6420 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
6421 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
6422
6423 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
6424
6425 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
6426 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
6427
6428 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
6429 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
6430 RFC.
6431
643210. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
6433 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
6434 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
6435
643611. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
6437 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
6438 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
6439 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
6440
644112. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
6442 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
6443 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
6444 to define what should happen).
6445
644613. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
6447 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
6448 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
6449
645014. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
6451
645215. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
6453
645416. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
6455 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
6456
4c04137d 645717. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
6458 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
6459 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
6460 structure in all cases.
6461
6462 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
6463 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
6464 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
6465 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
6466
646718. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
6468 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
6469 domain name.
6470
647119. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
6472 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
6473
647420. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
6475 MD5 (which is deprecated).
6476
647721. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
6478 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
6479 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
6480
648122. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
6482 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
6483 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
6484
648523. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
6486 the book and for uniformity.
6487
648824. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
6489
649025. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 6491 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
6492 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
6493 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
6494 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
6495 non-existent command as the problem.
6496
649726. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
6498 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
6499 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
6500
650127. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
6502
650328. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
6504 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
6505 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
6506
650729. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
6508 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
6509 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
6510 timestamps using strftime().
6511
651230. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
6513 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
6514
651532. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
6516 transport-time rewrites.
6517
651833. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
6519 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
6520 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
6521 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
6522
652334. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
6524 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
6525
652635. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
6527 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
6528 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
6529 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
6530 comma and a space.
6531
653236. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
6533 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
6534 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
6535 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
6536 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
6537 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
6538 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
6539
654037. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
6541 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
6542 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
6543 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
6544 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
6545
654638. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
6547 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
6548 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
6549 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
6550 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
6551 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
6552 remaining text gets split now.
6553
655439. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
6555 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
6556 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
6557 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
6558
655940. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
6560 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
6561 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
6562 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
6563 $return_path.
6564
656541. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
6566 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
6567 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
6568 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
6569 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
6570 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
6571 passed through if needed.
6572
657342. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
6574 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
6575 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
6576 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
6577 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
6578 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
6579
658043. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
6581 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
6582 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
6583 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
6584 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
6585
658644. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
6587 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
6588 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
6589 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
6590 incorrect size information for certain domains.
6591
659245. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
6593 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
6594 noticed.
6595
659646. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
6597 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
6598 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
6599 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
6600 mayhem of various kinds.
6601
660247. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
6603 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 6604 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
6605 the right test for positive values.
6606
660748. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
6608 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
6609 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
6610 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
6611 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
6612 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
6613 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
6614 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
6615 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
6616 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
6617 envelope.
6618
661949. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
6620 module.
6621
662250. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
6623 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
6624 forbidding it.
6625
662651. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
6627 the existing equality matching.
6628
662952. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
6630 dealing with inode numbers.
6631
663253. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
6633 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
6634 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
6635
663654. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
6637 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
6638 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
6639 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
6640 local_scan().
6641
664255. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
6643 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
6644 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
6645 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
6646 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
6647 relay addresses has also been removed.
6648
664956. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
6650
665157. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
6652 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
6653 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
6654
665558. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
6656 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
6657 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
6658 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
6659 processing applies to CR:
6660
6661 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
6662 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
6663
6664 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
6665 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
6666 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
6667 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
6668
666959. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
6670 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
6671 This is a VOB (very old bug).
6672
667360. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
6674 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
6675 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
6676 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
6677 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
6678 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
6679 arisen.
6680
668161. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
6682 program routers.
6683
668462. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
6685 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
6686 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
6687 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
6688 adds:
6689
6690 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
6691
6692 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
6693
6694 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
6695
669663. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
6697 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
6698 not considered personal.
6699
670064. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
6701
670265. Added queue_only_override (default true).
6703
670466. Added the syslog_duplication option.
6705
670667. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
6707 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
6708 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
6709 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
6710 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
6711 header lines, and spool format errors.
6712
671368. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
6714 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
6715 for more flexibility.
6716
671769. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
6718 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
6719 consulting and updating the callout cache.
6720
672170. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
6722 Sabourenkov.
6723
672471. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
6725 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
6726 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
6727 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
6728 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
6729 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
6730 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
6731 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
6732 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
6733
673472. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
6735 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
6736 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
6737 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
6738 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
6739 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
6740 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
6741
674273. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
6743 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
6744 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
6745
674674. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
6747 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
6748 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
6749 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
6750 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
6751 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
6752 instead of killing the process with assert().
6753
675475. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
6755 than Unicode encoding.
6756
675776. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
6758 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
6759 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
6760 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
6761
676277. Added process_log_path.
6763
676478. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
6765 check_log_inodes was ignored.
6766
676779. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
6768 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
6769
677080. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
6771 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
6772 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
6773
677481. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
6775 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
6776 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
6777 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
6778 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
6779 were applied:
6780
6781 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
6782 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
6783 as invalid.
6784
678582. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
6786 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
6787 they will be used during message reception.
6788
