446415f5 HSHR |
3 | This document describes *changes* to previous versions, that might |
4 | affect Exim's operation, with an unchanged configuration file. For new | |
5 | options, and new features, see the NewStuff file next to this ChangeLog. | |

8 | Since Exim version 4.90 |
9 | ----------------- | |
10 | ||
11 | JH/03 Fix pgsql lookup for multiple result-tuples with a single column. | |
12 | Previously only the last row was returned. | |
13 | ||

15 | Exim version 4.90 |
16 | ----------------- | |
17 | ||
18 | JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in | |
19 | more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced | |
20 | string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses | |
21 | pairs of long lines into single ones. | |
22 | ||
856d1e16 PP |
23 | PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly |
24 | during configuration. Wildcards are allowed and expanded. | |
25 | ||
b9df1829 JH |
26 | JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers. |
27 | This permits better logging. | |
28 | ||
875512a3 JH |
29 | JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active, |
30 | do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on | |
31 | the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any | |
32 | subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is | |
33 | affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS | |
5013d912 | 34 | Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged. |
875512a3 | 35 | |
fc3f96af JH |
36 | JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of |
37 | identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect | |
38 | "exiwhat" output. | |
39 | ||

40 | PP/02 Bug 2070: uClibc defines __GLIBC__ without providing glibc headers; |
41 | add noisy ifdef guards to special-case this sillyness. | |
42 | Patch from Bernd Kuhls. | |
43 | ||
8d909960 JH |
44 | JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger |
45 | than 255 are no longer allowed. | |
46 | ||
7006ee24 JH |
47 | JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers. |
48 | Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we | |
49 | currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and | |
50 | client, there is no benefit for these. | |
51 | GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't | |
52 | call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled | |
53 | by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string | |
54 | is used (3.2.4 +). | |
55 | ||
6e411084 PP |
56 | PP/03 Add $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support for reproducible builds, per spec at |
57 | <https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/>. | |
58 | ||
4c2471ca JH |
59 | JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously |
60 | the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and | |
61 | erroneously found still-pending ones. | |
62 | ||
4e910c01 JH |
63 | JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support |
64 | MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections). | |
65 | ||
42055a33 JH |
66 | JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a |
67 | transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for | |
68 | creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the | |
69 | signature and again for transmission. | |
70 | ||
eeb35890 JH |
71 | JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in |
72 | 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit | |
7d758a6a | 73 | mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also. |
eeb35890 | 74 | |
b7d3afcf JH |
75 | JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the |
76 | case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to | |
77 | a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed | |
78 | to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP | |
79 | connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command | |
80 | which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry | |
81 | database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha. | |
82 | ||
40525d07 JH |
83 | JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were |
84 | false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response | |
85 | or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of | |
a5ffa9b4 | 86 | awareness of the SMTP input buffering. |
40525d07 | 87 | |
f33875c3 PP |
88 | PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option. |
89 | Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a | |
90 | security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their | |
91 | own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to | |
92 | Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration | |
93 | AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop | |
94 | processing options. | |
95 | ||
a5ffa9b4 JH |
96 | JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was |
97 | taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server) | |
98 | responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means | |
99 | a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS | |
100 | connections. | |
925ac8e4 | 101 | |
6600985a PP |
102 | PP/05 OpenSSL/1.1: use DH_bits() for more accurate DH param sizes. This |
103 | affects you only if you're dancing at the edge of the param size limits. | |
104 | If you are, and this message makes sense to you, then: raise the | |
105 | configured limit or use OpenSSL 1.1. Nothing we can do for older | |
106 | versions. | |
107 | ||
ac4d558b JH |
108 | JH/14 For the "sock" variant of the malware scanner interface, accept an empty |
109 | cmdline element to get the documented default one. Previously it was | |
110 | inaccessible. | |
111 | ||
e69636bc JH |
112 | JH/15 Fix a crash in the smtp transport caused when two hosts in succession |
113 | are unsuable for non-message-specific reasons - eg. connection timeout, | |
114 | banner-time rejection. | |
115 | ||
a843a57e JH |
116 | JH/16 Fix logging of delivery remote port, when specified by router, under |
117 | callout/hold. | |
118 | ||
8e041ae0 PP |
119 | PP/06 Repair manualroute's ability to take options in any order, even if one |
120 | is the name of a transport. | |
833c70bc PP |
121 | Fixes bug 2140. |

35a04365 HSHR |
123 | HS/01 Cleanup, prevent repeated use of -p/-oMr (CVE-2017-1000369) |
124 | ||
4226691b JH |
125 | JH/17 Change the list-building routines interface to use the expanding-string |
126 | triplet model, for better allocation and copying behaviour. | |
127 | ||
d185889f JH |
128 | JH/18 Prebuild the data-structure for "builtin" macros, for faster startup. |
129 | Previously it was constructed the first time a possibly-matching string | |
130 | was met in the configuration file input during startup; now it is done | |
131 | during compilation. | |
132 | ||
0a6c178c JH |
133 | JH/19 Bug 2141: Use the full-complex API for Berkeley DB rather than the legacy- |
134 | compatible one, to avoid the (poorly documented) possibility of a config | |
135 | file in the working directory redirecting the DB files, possibly correpting | |
02745400 | 136 | some existing file. CVE-2017-10140 assigned for BDB. |
0a6c178c | 137 | |
fae8970d JH |
138 | JH/20 Bug 2147: Do not defer for a verify-with-callout-and-random which is not |
139 | cache-hot. Previously, although the result was properly cached, the | |
140 | initial verify call returned a defer. | |
141 | ||
ad1a76fe | 142 | JH/21 Bug 2151: Avoid using SIZE on the MAIL for a callout verify, on any but |
14de8063 JH |
143 | the main verify for receipient in uncached-mode. |
144 | ||
ad1a76fe JH |
145 | JH/22 Retire historical build files to an "unsupported" subdir. These are |
146 | defined as "ones for which we have no current evidence of testing". | |
147 | ||
135e9496 JH |
148 | JH/23 DKIM: enforce the DNS pubkey record "h" permitted-hashes optional field, |
149 | if present. Previously it was ignored. | |
150 | ||
f2ed27cf JH |
151 | JH/24 Start using specified-initialisers in C structure init coding. This is |
152 | a C99 feature (it's 2017, so now considered safe). | |
153 | ||
7eb0e5d2 JH |
154 | JH/25 Use one-bit bitfields for flags in the "addr" data structure. Previously |
155 | if was a fixed-sized field and bitmask ops via macros; it is now more | |
156 | extensible. | |

165 | JH/26 Fix DKIM bug: when the pseudoheader generated for signing was exactly |
166 | the right size to place the terminating semicolon on its own folded | |
167 | line, the header hash was calculated to an incorrect value thanks to | |
168 | the (relaxed) space the fold became. | |

171 | and confused the parent. | |
172 | ||
848214f7 JH |
173 | JH/27 Fix SOCKS bug: an unitialized pointer was deref'd by the transport process |
174 | which could crash as a result. This could lead to undeliverable messages. | |

9e0ed81f JH |
176 | JH/28 Logging: "next input sent too soon" now shows where input was truncated |
177 | for log purposes. | |
178 | ||
2540f2f8 JH |
179 | JH/29 Fix queue_run_in_order to ignore the PID portion of the message ID. This |
180 | matters on fast-turnover and PID-randomising systems, which were getting | |
181 | out-of-order delivery. | |
182 | ||
e5ab0ba9 JH |
183 | JH/30 Fix a logging bug on aarch64: an unsafe routine was previously used for |
184 | a possibly-overlapping copy. The symptom was that "Remote host closed | |
185 | connection in response to HELO" was logged instead of the actual 4xx | |
186 | error for the HELO. | |
187 | ||
e99a3a6c JH |
188 | JH/31 Fix CHUNKING code to properly flush the unwanted chunk after an error. |
189 | Previously only that bufferd was discarded, resulting in SYMTP command | |
190 | desynchronisation. | |
191 | ||
18067c75 JH |
192 | JH/32 DKIM: when a message has multiple signatures matching an identity given |
193 | in dkim_verify_signers, run the dkim acl once for each. Previously only | |
194 | one run was done. Bug 2189. | |
195 | ||
72934ba7 JH |
196 | JH/33 Downgrade an unfound-list name (usually a typo in the config file) from |
197 | "panic the current process" to "deliberately defer". The panic log is | |
198 | still written with the problem list name; the mail and reject logs now | |
199 | get a temp-reject line for the message that was being handled, saying | |
200 | something like "domains check lookup or other defer". The SMTP 451 | |
201 | message is still "Temporary local problem". | |

bd8fbe36 JH |
240 | JH/05 Have the EHLO response advertise VRFY, if there is a vrfy ACL defined. |
241 | Previously we did not; the RFC seems ambiguous and VRFY is not listed | |
242 | by IANA as a service extension. However, John Klensin suggests that we | |
243 | should. | |
244 | ||
245 | JH/06 Bug 2017: Fix DKIM verification in -bh test mode. The data feed into | |
b895f4b2 JH |
246 | the dkim code may be unix-mode line endings rather than smtp wire-format |
247 | CRLF, so prepend a CR to any bare LF. | |
fd047340 | 248 | |
bd8fbe36 | 249 | JH/07 Rationalise the coding for callout smtp conversations and transport ones. |
902fbd69 JH |
250 | As a side-benfit, callouts can now use PIPELINING hence fewer round-trips. |
251 | ||
bd8fbe36 JH |
252 | JH/08 Bug 2016: Fix DKIM verification vs. CHUNKING. Any BDAT commands after |
253 | the first were themselves being wrongly included in the feed into dkim | |
254 | processing; with most chunk sizes in use this resulted in an incorrect | |
255 | body hash calculated value. | |
256 | ||
eea19017 JH |
257 | JH/09 Bug 2014: permit inclusion of a DKIM-Signature header in a received |
258 | DKIM signature block, for verification. Although advised against by | |
259 | standards it is specifically not ruled illegal. | |
260 | ||
44e6651b JH |
261 | JH/10 Bug 2025: Fix reception of (quoted) local-parts with embedded spaces. |
262 | ||
263 | JH/11 Bug 2029: Fix crash in DKIM verification when a message signature block is | |
264 | missing a body hash (the bh= tag). | |
265 | ||
266 | JH/12 Bug 2018: Re-order Proxy Protocol startup versus TLS-on-connect startup. | |
267 | It seems that HAProxy sends the Proxy Protocol information in clear and | |
268 | only then does a TLS startup, so do the same. | |
269 | ||
270 | JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client | |
271 | TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set | |
272 | Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on | |
273 | too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of | |
274 | requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used | |
275 | by non-daemon-related Exim processes. | |
276 | ||
277 | JH/14 Bug 2000: Reject messages recieved with CHUNKING but with malformed line | |
278 | endings, at least on the first header line. Try to canonify any that get | |
279 | past that check, despite the cost. | |
280 | ||

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

284 | ||
f700ea4d PP |
285 | PP/03 Bug 2018: For Proxy Protocol and TLS-on-connect, do not over-read and |

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

329 | JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination |
330 | supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one). | |

03d5892b JH |
332 | JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten |
333 | years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs | |
334 | acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime. | |
335 | ||
4b0fe319 JH |
336 | JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously |
337 | a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style) | |
338 | or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup | |
339 | was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the | |
340 | TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority | |
341 | MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane) | |
342 | if one fails this test. | |
343 | This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado; | |
344 | but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it. | |

366 | JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when |
367 | a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection. | |
368 | This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough | |
369 | connection after a verify cache hit. | |
370 | Do not update it with the verify result either. | |
371 | ||
372 | JH/12 Cutthrough: disable when verify option success_on_redirect is used, and | |
373 | when routing results in more than one destination address. | |
374 | ||
ae8386f0 JH |
375 | JH/13 Cutthrough: expand transport dkim_domain option when testing for dkim |
376 | signing (which inhibits the cutthrough capability). Previously only | |
377 | the presence of an option was tested; now an expansion evaluating as | |
378 | empty is permissible (obviously it should depend only on data available | |
379 | when the cutthrough connection is made). | |

387 | JH/16 DANE: treat a TLSA lookup response having all non-TLSA RRs, the same |

405 | JH/22 Fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries. If a port was |
406 | specified by a router, it must also match for the delivery to be | |
407 | compatible. | |

409 | JH/23 Bug 1874: fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries. |
410 | When one of the recipients of a message was unsuitable for the connection | |
411 | (has no matching addresses), we lost track of needing to mark it | |
412 | deferred. As a result mail would be lost. | |

f59aaaaa | 416 | JH/25 Decoding ACL controls is now done using a binary search; the source code |
2d009132 JH |

420 | JH/26 Fix problem with one_time used on a redirect router which returned the |
421 | parent address unchanged. A retry would see the parent address marked as | |

423 | be lost. | |

473 | JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16 |
474 | and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request | |

488 | If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held | |
489 | open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a | |
490 | deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging | |
491 | leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the | |
492 | check on the next write. | |

507 | JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from |

547 | JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now |
548 | defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built | |
4c04137d | 549 | with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testsuite sane. |
23f3dc67 JH |
550 | If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is |
551 | logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably | |
552 | they will retry in-clear. | |

560 | in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type | |

562 | information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host, | |
4c04137d | 563 | and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx response. |

568 | installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user; | |

609 | JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM |
610 | support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones. This means DKIM is | |
07c73177 JH |

625 | JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was |
626 | incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a | |

62ac2eb7 | 628 | Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message |
1bc460a6 JH |
629 | via the normal store-and-forward channel. This could result in duplicates |

795 | TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as |
796 | no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific | |
797 | test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near | |
798 | the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl | |
799 | script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these | |
800 | variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through | |
801 | the script parsing/test process like normal. | |

828 | JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process. Several recipients, combined |
829 | with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split | |
830 | over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly. This eventually | |
831 | resulted in duplicates being sent. This issue only became common enough | |
4c04137d | 832 | to notice due to the introduction of connection certificate information, |

844 | both become "event_action", the variables become $event_name, $event_data | |
aec45841 | 845 | and $event_defer_errno. There is a new variable $verify_mode, usable in |
723fe533 JH |
846 | routers, transports and related events. The tls:cert event is now also |
847 | raised for inbound connections, if the main configuration event_action | |
848 | option is defined. | |

904 | ||
905 | TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery. | |
906 | ||
907 | When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up | |
908 | the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to | |
909 | deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing | |
910 | delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming | |
911 | connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging | |
912 | a "Bad file descriptor" error. | |

67bd1ab3 TF |
1158 | TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients. |
1159 | ||
1160 | When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the | |
1161 | recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry | |
1162 | hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to | |
1163 | any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using | |
1164 | the retry rules. | |
1165 | ||
1166 | So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly | |
1167 | deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the | |
1168 | address never reaches the final cutoff time. | |
1169 | ||
1170 | This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against | |
1171 | their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code | |
1172 | to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers | |
1173 | in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store. | |
1174 | ||
1ddeb334 TF |
1175 | This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the |
1176 | final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do | |
1177 | this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a | |
1178 | domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle | |
1179 | the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use | |
1180 | this as an approximation for the destination being like a local | |
1181 | delivery, as in LMTP. | |
67bd1ab3 TF |
1182 | |
1183 | I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check | |
1184 | redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place. | |

1189 | ||
1190 | Resent-From: f | |
1191 | ||
1192 | When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded | |
1193 | the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added | |
1194 | a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the | |
1195 | username as equal to the username. | |

1219 | Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH. | |
1220 | Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new | |
1221 | config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server | |
1222 | advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new | |
1223 | acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after | |
1224 | the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL. | |
4c04137d | 1225 | The client is controlled by both of: a hosts_try_prdr option |
fd98a5c6 JH |
1226 | on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement. |

1505 | ||
921b12ca TF |
1506 | TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might |
1507 | lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it | |
1508 | got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat. | |
1509 | ||
1510 | The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process | |
1511 | log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general | |
1512 | purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are | |
1513 | not safe for signals. | |
1514 | ||
1515 | The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process | |
1516 | log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety. | |
1517 | Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code. | |
1518 | Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies | |
1519 | exiwhat. | |
1520 | ||
c99ce5c9 TF |
1521 | TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition. |
1522 | ||
1523 | The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which | |
1524 | has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes | |
1525 | are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the | |
1526 | database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This | |
4c04137d | 1527 | means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.) |
c99ce5c9 TF |
1528 | |
1529 | Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that | |
1530 | makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a | |
1531 | message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify | |
1532 | per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you | |
1533 | must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to | |
1534 | /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required. | |
1535 | ||
1536 | The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for | |
1537 | backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in | |
1538 | ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or | |
1539 | /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly. | |
1540 | ||
1541 | A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization | |
1542 | of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other | |
1543 | aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent | |
1544 | to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }. | |
1545 | ||
1546 | The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism | |
1547 | (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is | |
1548 | used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the | |
1549 | measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data) | |
1550 | or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter | |
1551 | /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.) | |
1552 | Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than | |
1553 | one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail | |
1554 | and per_byte options don't have this problem.) | |
1555 | ||
1556 | The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate | |
1557 | is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first | |
1558 | after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's | |
1559 | count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly. | |
1560 | ||
1561 | The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique | |
1562 | events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different | |
1563 | recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It | |
1564 | behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but | |
1565 | duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like | |
1566 | the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option | |
1567 | is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for | |
1568 | example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses | |
1569 | with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further | |
1570 | details in the main documentation. | |

1762 | PP/02 Let /dev/null have normal permissions. |
1763 | The 4.73 fixes were a little too stringent and complained about the | |
1764 | permissions on /dev/null. Exempt it from some checks. | |
1765 | Reported by Andreas M. Kirchwitz. | |
1766 | ||
6545de78 PP |
1767 | PP/03 Report version information for many libraries, including |
1768 | Exim version information for dynamically loaded libraries. Created | |
1769 | version.h, now support a version extension string for distributors | |
1770 | who patch heavily. Dynamic module ABI change. | |

1772 | PP/04 CVE-2011-0017 - check return value of setuid/setgid. This is a |
1773 | privilege escalation vulnerability whereby the Exim run-time user | |
1774 | can cause root to append content of the attacker's choosing to | |
1775 | arbitrary files. | |

1780 | PP/06 Bugzilla 1071: fix delivery logging with untrusted macros. |
1781 | If dropping privileges for untrusted macros, we disabled normal logging | |
1782 | on the basis that it would fail; for the Exim run-time user, this is not | |
1783 | the case, and it resulted in successful deliveries going unlogged. | |
1784 | Fixed. Reported by Andreas Metzler. | |

ec5a0394 PP |
1808 | without a peer certificate, leading to a segfault because of an |
1809 | assumption that peers always have certificates. Be a little more | |

2113 | Exim version 4.69 |
2114 | ----------------- | |
2115 | ||
4b3504d0 TK |
2116 | TK/01 Add preliminary DKIM support. Currently requires a forked version of |
2117 | ALT-N's libdkim that I have put here: | |
2118 | http://duncanthrax.net/exim-experimental/ | |
2119 | ||
2120 | Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They | |
2121 | were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved | |
2122 | keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could | |
2123 | not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering | |
2124 | build errors in sieve.c. | |
2125 | ||
81ea09ca NM |
2126 | NM/01 Bugzilla 592: --help option is handled incorrectly if exim is invoked |
2127 | as mailq or other aliases. Changed the --help handling significantly | |
2128 | to do whats expected. exim_usage() emits usage/help information. | |
2129 | ||
f13cddcb SC |
2130 | SC/01 Added the -bylocaldomain option to eximstats. |

eb4c0de6 PH |
2139 | Exim version 4.68 |
2140 | ----------------- | |
2141 | ||
2142 | PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer. | |
2143 | ||
6a3bceb1 PH |
2144 | PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup |
2145 | in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"), | |
2146 | dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not | |
2147 | contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available | |
2148 | in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys | |
2149 | (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4 | |
2150 | keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work | |
2151 | for iplsearch lookups. | |
2152 | ||
2153 | This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with | |
2154 | colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because | |
2155 | previously such lookups could never work. | |
2156 | ||
4c04137d | 2157 | The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in |
6a3bceb1 PH |
2158 | ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is |
2159 | incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations. | |
2160 | ||
2e30fa9d TK |
2161 | TK/01 Change PRVS address formatting scheme to reflect latests BATV draft |
2162 | version. | |
2163 | ||
0806a9c5 MH |
2164 | MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s |
2165 | conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling | |
2166 | a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their | |
2167 | right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an | |
2168 | attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially | |
2169 | exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user. | |
2170 | ||
ae276964 TK |
2171 | TK/02 Bugzilla 502: Apply patch to make the SPF-Received: header use |
2172 | $primary_hostname instead of what libspf2 thinks the hosts name is. | |
2173 | ||
0f2cbd1b MH |
2174 | MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for |
2175 | a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a | |
2176 | symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that | |
2177 | Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that | |
2178 | symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry | |
2179 | exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.) | |
2180 | ||
2b85bce7 PH |
2181 | PH/03 The body_linecount and body_zerocount variables are now exported in the |
2182 | local_scan API. | |
2183 | ||
93655c46 PH |
2184 | PH/04 Added the $dnslist_matched variable. |
2185 | ||
6c512171 PH |
2186 | PH/05 Unset $tls_cipher and $tls_peerdn before making a connection as a client. |
2187 | This means they are set thereafter only if the connection becomes | |
2188 | encrypted. | |
2189 | ||
2190 | PH/06 Added the client_condition to authenticators so that some can be skipped | |
2191 | by clients under certain conditions. | |
2192 | ||
aa6dc513 PH |
2193 | PH/07 The error message for a badly-placed control=no_multiline_responses left |
2194 | "_responses" off the end of the name. | |
2195 | ||
a96603a0 PH |
2196 | PH/08 Added -Mvc to output a copy of a message in RFC 2822 format. |
2197 | ||
8f240103 PH |
2198 | PH/09 Tidied the code for creating ratelimiting keys, creating them explicitly |
2199 | (without spaces) instead of just copying the configuration text. | |
2200 | ||
2201 | PH/10 Added the /noupdate option to the ratelimit ACL condition. | |
2202 | ||
d677b2f2 PH |
2203 | PH/11 Added $max_received_linelength. |
2204 | ||
d52120f2 PH |
2205 | PH/12 Added +ignore_defer and +include_defer to host lists. |
2206 | ||
64f2600a PH |
2207 | PH/13 Installed PCRE version 7.2. This needed some changes because of the new |
2208 | way in which PCRE > 7.0 is built. | |
2209 | ||
8669f003 PH |
2210 | PH/14 Implemented queue_only_load_latch. |
2211 | ||
a4dc33a8 PH |
2212 | PH/15 Removed an incorrect (int) cast when reading the value of SIZE in a |
2213 | MAIL command. The effect was to mangle the value on 64-bit systems. | |
2214 | ||
d6a60c0f PH |
2215 | PH/16 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer. |
2216 | ||
8f128379 PH |
2217 | PH/17 Added the NOTQUIT ACL, based on a patch from Ted Cooper. |
2218 | ||
8932dffe PH |
2219 | PH/18 If a system quota error occurred while trying to create the file for |
2220 | a maildir delivery, the message "Mailbox is full" was not appended to the | |
2221 | bounce if the delivery eventually timed out. Change 4.67/27 below applied | |
2222 | only to a quota excession during the actual writing of the file. | |
d6a60c0f | 2223 | |
ddea74fa | 2224 | PH/19 It seems that peer DN values may contain newlines (and other non-printing |
48ed62d9 PH |
2225 | characters?) which causes problems in log lines. The DN values are now |
2226 | passed through string_printing() before being added to log lines. | |
2227 | ||
ddea74fa | 2228 | PH/20 Added the "servers=" facility to MySQL and PostgreSQL lookups. (Oracle |
b7670459 PH |
2229 | and InterBase are left for another time.) |
2230 | ||
ddea74fa PH |
2231 | PH/21 Added message_body_newlines option. |
2232 | ||
ce9f225c PH |
2233 | PH/22 Guard against possible overflow in moan_check_errorcopy(). |
2234 | ||
19897d52 PH |
2235 | PH/23 POSIX allows open() to be a macro; guard against that. |
2236 | ||
bc64a74d PH |
2237 | PH/24 If the recipient of an error message contained an @ in the local part |
2238 | (suitably quoted, of course), incorrect values were put in $domain and | |
2239 | $local_part during the evaluation of errors_copy. | |
2240 | ||

b4ed4da0 PH |
2242 | Exim version 4.67 |
2243 | ----------------- | |
2244 | ||
22ad45c9 MH |
2245 | MH/01 Fix for bug #448, segfault in Dovecot authenticator when interface_address |
2246 | is unset (happens when testing with -bh and -oMi isn't used). Thanks to | |
2247 | Jan Srzednicki. | |
2248 | ||
b4ed4da0 PH |
2249 | PH/01 Added a new log selector smtp_no_mail, to log SMTP sessions that do not |
2250 | issue a MAIL command. | |
2251 | ||
431b7361 PH |
2252 | PH/02 In an ACL statement such as |
2253 | ||
2254 | deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2 | |
2255 | ||
2256 | if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than | |
2257 | 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list, | |
2258 | the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied. | |
2259 | The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second | |
2260 | item. This has been fixed. | |
2261 | ||
2262 | PH/03 Added additional dnslists conditions == and =& which are different from | |
2263 | = and & when the dns lookup returns more than one IP address. | |
2264 | ||
83da1223 PH |
2265 | PH/04 Added gnutls_require_{kx,mac,protocols} to give more control over the |
2266 | cipher suites used by GnuTLS. These options are ignored by OpenSSL. | |
2267 | ||
54fc8428 PH |
2268 | PH/05 After discussion on the list, added a compile time option ENABLE_DISABLE_ |
2269 | FSYNC, which compiles an option called disable_fsync that allows for | |
2270 | bypassing fsync(). The documentation is heavily laced with warnings. | |
2271 | ||
34c5e8dd SC |
2272 | SC/01 Updated eximstats to collate all SpamAssassin rejects into one bucket. |
2273 | ||
bbe15da8 PH |
2274 | PH/06 Some tidies to the infrastructure of the Test Suite that is concerned |
2275 | with the auxiliary C programs that it uses: (1) Arrange for BIND_8_COMPAT | |
2276 | to be defined when compiling on OSX (Darwin); (2) Tidies to the Makefile, | |
2277 | including adding "make clean"; (3) Added -fPIC when compiling the test | |
2278 | dynamically loaded module, to get rid of a warning. | |
2279 | ||
0e8a9471 MH |
2280 | MH/02 Fix for bug #451, causing paniclog entries to be written if a bounce |
2281 | message fails, move_frozen_messages = true and ignore_bounce_errors_after | |
2282 | = 0s. The bug is otherwise harmless. | |
2283 | ||
f0872424 PH |
2284 | PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of |
2285 | $auth1 could be overwritten, and so not correctly preserved, after a | |
2286 | successful authentication. This usually meant that the value preserved by | |
2287 | the server_setid option was incorrect. | |
2288 | ||
b01dd148 PH |
2289 | PH/08 Added $smtp_count_at_connection_start, deliberately with a long name. |
2290 | ||
6bf342e1 PH |
2291 | PH/09 Installed PCRE release 7.0. |
2292 | ||
273f34d0 PH |
2293 | PH/10 The acl_not_smtp_start ACL was, contrary to the documentation, not being |
2294 | run for batched SMTP input. It is now run at the start of every message | |
2295 | in the batch. While fixing this I discovered that the process information | |
2296 | (output by running exiwhat) was not always getting set for -bs and -bS | |
2297 | input. This is fixed, and it now also says "batched" for BSMTP. | |
2298 | ||
cf8b11a5 PH |
2299 | PH/11 Added control=no_pipelining. |
2300 | ||
41c7c167 PH |
2301 | PH/12 Added $sending_ip_address and $sending_port (mostly Magnus Holmgren's |
2302 | patch, slightly modified), and move the expansion of helo_data till after | |
2303 | the connection is made in the smtp transport (so it can use these | |
2304 | values). | |
2305 | ||
9c57cbc0 PH |
2306 | PH/13 Added ${rfc2047d: to decoded RFC 2047 strings. |
2307 | ||
f3f065bb PH |
2308 | PH/14 Added log_selector = +pid. |
2309 | ||
047bdd8c PH |
2310 | PH/15 Flush SMTP output before delaying, unless control=no_delay_flush is set. |
2311 | ||
0ce9abe6 PH |
2312 | PH/16 Add ${if forany and ${if forall. |
2313 | ||
0e22dfd1 PH |
2314 | PH/17 Added dsn_from option to vary the From: line in DSNs. |
2315 | ||
4c590bd1 PH |
2316 | PH/18 Flush SMTP output before performing a callout, unless control = |
2317 | no_callout_flush is set. | |
2318 | ||
09945f1e PH |
2319 | PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when address_retry_include_sender |
2320 | was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete the retry | |
2321 | item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is now | |
2322 | fixed. | |
2323 | ||
c51b8e75 PH |
2324 | PH/20 Added hosts_avoid_pipelining to the smtp transport. |
2325 | ||
e28326d8 | 2326 | PH/21 Long custom messages for fakedefer and fakereject are now split up |
4c04137d | 2327 | into multiline responses in the same way that messages for "deny" and |
e28326d8 PH |
2328 | other ACL rejections are. |
2329 | ||
75b1493f PH |
2330 | PH/22 Applied Jori Hamalainen's speed-up changes and typo fixes to exigrep, |
2331 | with slight modification. | |
2332 | ||
7c5214ec PH |
2333 | PH/23 Applied sieve patches from the maintainer "tracking the latest notify |
2334 | draft, changing the syntax and factoring some duplicate code". | |
2335 | ||
4311097e PH |
2336 | PH/24 When the log selector "outgoing_port" was set, the port was shown as -1 |
2337 | for deliveries of the second and subsequent messages over the same SMTP | |
2338 | connection. | |
2339 | ||
29f89cad PH |
2340 | PH/25 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch for ${addresses, ${map, ${filter, and |
2341 | ${reduce, with only minor "tidies". | |
2342 | ||
5e687460 SC |
2343 | SC/02 Applied Daniel Tiefnig's patch to improve the '($parent) =' pattern match. |
2344 | ||
c3611384 PH |
2345 | PH/26 Added a "continue" ACL modifier that does nothing, for the benefit of its |
2346 | expansion side effects. | |
2347 | ||
5a11a7b4 PH |
2348 | PH/27 When a message times out after an over-quota error from an Exim-imposed |
2349 | quota, the bounce message says "mailbox is full". This message was not | |
2350 | being given when it was a system quota that was exceeded. It now should | |
2351 | be the same. | |
2352 | ||
0e20aff9 MH |
2353 | MH/03 Made $recipients available in local_scan(). local_scan() already has |
2354 | better access to the recipient list through recipients_list[], but | |
2355 | $recipients can be useful in postmaster-provided expansion strings. | |
2356 | ||
ca86f471 PH |
2357 | PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct |
2358 | in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the | |
2359 | address, for example: MAIL FROM:<foo@bar> SIZE=1234. The option settings | |
2360 | were accidentally chopped off. | |
2361 | ||
a14e5636 PH |
2362 | PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read - |
2363 | there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be | |
2364 | any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is | |
2365 | some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might | |
2366 | arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for | |
2367 | HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when | |
2368 | pipelining has not been advertised. | |
2369 | ||
ec95d1a6 PH |
2370 | PH/30 MH's patch to allow iscntrl() characters to be list separators. |
2371 | ||
42855d71 PH |
2372 | PH/31 Unlike :fail:, a custom message specified with :defer: was not being |
2373 | returned in the SMTP response when smtp_return_error_details was false. | |
2374 | This has been fixed. | |
2375 | ||
57c2c631 PH |
2376 | PH/32 Change the Dovecot authenticator to use read() and write() on the socket |
2377 | instead of the C I/O that was originally supplied, because problems were | |
2378 | reported on Solaris. | |
2379 | ||
58c01c94 PH |
2380 | PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in |
2381 | Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to | |
2382 | SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is | |
2383 | no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() | |
2384 | was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has | |
2385 | changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile | |
2386 | error. Exim's code has been fixed. | |
2387 | ||
dee5a20a PH |
2388 | PH/34 Change HDA_SIZE in oracle.c from 256 to 512. This is needed for 64-bit |
2389 | cpus. | |
2390 | ||
d2ee6114 PH |
2391 | PH/35 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which fixes a bug in "notify". |
2392 | ||
b2d5182b PH |
2393 | PH/36 Applied John Jetmore's patch to add -v functionality to exigrep. |
2394 | ||
79749a79 PH |
2395 | PH/37 If a message is not accepted after it has had an id assigned (e.g. |
2396 | because it turns out to be too big or there is a timeout) there is no | |
3ce62588 PH |
2397 | "Completed" line in the log. When some messages of this type were |
2398 | selected by exigrep, they were listed as "not completed". Others were | |
2399 | picked up by some special patterns. I have improved the selection | |
2400 | criteria to be more general. | |
79749a79 | 2401 | |
c456d9bb PH |
2402 | PH/38 The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router can now be set |
2403 | to "ignore", to completely ignore a host whose IP address cannot be | |
2404 | found. If all hosts are ignored, the behaviour is controlled by the new | |
2405 | host_all_ignored option. | |
2406 | ||
cd9868ec PH |
2407 | PH/39 In a list of hosts for manualroute, if one item (either because of multi- |
2408 | homing or because of multiple MX records with /mx) generated more than | |
2409 | one IP address, and the following item turned out to be the local host, | |
2410 | all the secondary addresses of the first item were incorrectly removed | |
2411 | from the list, along with the local host and any following hosts (which | |
2412 | is what is supposed to happen). | |
2413 | ||
ebeaf996 PH |
2414 | PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of |
2415 | whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was | |
2416 | behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever | |
2417 | started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it | |
2418 | calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always | |
2419 | uses the Exim user. | |
2420 | ||
2679d413 PH |
2421 | PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a |
2422 | message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad | |
2423 | sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen | |
2424 | with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the | |
2425 | RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is | |

2440 | ||
58eb016e | 2441 | PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending |
563b63fa PH |
2442 | the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the |
2443 | case where the client has not sent further data following the '.' | |
2444 | (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be | |
2445 | any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call | |
2446 | to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is | |
2447 | either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read | |
2448 | the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim | |
58eb016e | 2449 | would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see. |
563b63fa PH |
2450 | This could lead to message repetition. This fix should cure that, at |
2451 | least in a lot of common cases. | |

2457 | Exim version 4.66 |
2458 | ----------------- | |
2459 | ||
2460 | PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one | |
2461 | fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed: | |
2462 | ||
2463 | (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison | |
2464 | operators. This behaviour has been restored. | |
2465 | ||
2466 | (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat | |
2467 | their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers | |
2468 | starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal. | |
2469 | ||
2470 | While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that | |
2471 | hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option | |
2472 | and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0. | |
2473 | The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as | |
2474 | decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation. | |
2475 | ||

2477 | Exim version 4.65 |
2478 | ----------------- | |
2479 | ||
2480 | TK/01 Disable default definition of HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE. Clashes with | |
2481 | Linux large file support (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) on older glibc | |
2482 | versions. (#438) | |
2483 | ||
d6066548 MH |
2484 | MH/01 Don't check that the operands of numeric comparison operators are |
2485 | integers when their expansion is in "skipping" mode (fixes bug | |
2486 | introduced by 4.64-PH/07). | |
2487 | ||
4362ff0d PH |
2488 | PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767) |
2489 | child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count | |
2490 | is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a | |
2491 | large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous | |
2492 | (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit | |
2493 | rather than extend the field. | |

21d74bd9 TK |
2499 | TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a |
2500 | leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402). | |
2501 | While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K | |
2502 | filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating | |
2503 | these files. | |
2504 | ||
2505 | TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing | |
2506 | processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails, | |
2507 | triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401. | |
2508 | ||
2509 | TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used | |
2510 | in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable, | |
2511 | hence the _LINUX specificness. | |
944e9e9c TF |
2512 | |
2513 | TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter, | |
2514 | there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any | |
2515 | header after the first one which had an odd number of characters | |
2516 | in the field name. | |
2517 | ||
2b1c6e3a PH |
2518 | PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender |
2519 | callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This | |
2520 | is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient | |
2521 | verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case | |
2522 | the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special | |
2523 | case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g. | |
2524 | rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL | |
2525 | address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection. | |
2526 | Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is | |
2527 | left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying | |
2528 | RCPT means that the domain itself is ok). | |
2529 | ||
1f872c80 PH |
2530 | PH/02 Tidied a number of unused variable and signed/unsigned warnings that |
2531 | gcc 4.1.1 threw up. | |
2532 | ||
2533 | PH/03 On Solaris, an unexpectedly close socket (dropped connection) can | |
2534 | manifest itself as EPIPE rather than ECONNECT. When tidying away a | |
2535 | session, the daemon ignores ECONNECT errors and logs others; it now | |
2536 | ignores EPIPE as well. | |
2537 | ||

a2405d83 JJ |

2559 | PH/10 Added the log_reject_target ACL modifier to specify where to log |
2560 | rejections. | |
2561 | ||
26da7e20 PH |
2562 | PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_ |
2563 | hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and | |
2564 | probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing | |
2565 | callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been | |
2566 | changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport | |
2567 | instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If | |
2568 | there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host | |
2569 | addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used. | |
6ea85e9a | 2570 | |
14aa5a05 | 2571 | PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various |
7befa435 | 2572 | tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below): |
14aa5a05 PH |
2573 | (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer |
2574 | overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format() | |
2575 | function. | |
2576 | (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum | |
2577 | hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring. | |
2578 | (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function. | |
2579 | Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function. | |
2580 | (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well. | |
2581 | (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify | |
2582 | service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its | |
2583 | interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and | |
2584 | changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now. | |
2585 | ||
ff75a1f7 PH |
2586 | PH/13 Added $message_headers_raw to provide the headers without RFC 2047 |
2587 | decoding. | |
2588 | ||
e6f6568e PH |
2589 | PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the |
2590 | address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without | |
2591 | -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a | |
2592 | successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However, | |
2593 | with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A | |
2594 | failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C, | |
2595 | with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's | |
2596 | parentage before showing the successful verification of C. | |
2597 | ||
d6f6e0dc PH |
2598 | PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to |
2599 | look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined | |
2600 | list. | |
2601 | ||
322050c2 PH |
2602 | PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and |
2603 | RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when | |
2604 | they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they | |
2605 | wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some | |
2606 | cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups). | |
2607 | To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to | |
2608 | host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument | |
2609 | containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now | |
2610 | sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp | |
2611 | transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to | |
2612 | host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses | |
2613 | of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES | |
2614 | (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents). | |
2615 | ||
08955dd3 PH |
2616 | PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make |
2617 | spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary | |
2618 | switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is | |
2619 | overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist. | |
2620 | Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the | |
2621 | str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first | |
2622 | character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement. | |
2623 | ||
1eccaa59 PH |
2624 | PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The |
2625 | flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not | |
2626 | turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being | |
2627 | set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to | |
2628 | be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_ | |
2629 | verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I | |
2630 | came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax | |
2631 | while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting | |
2632 | the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused | |
2633 | trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct. | |
2634 | ||
602e59e5 PH |
2635 | PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called |
2636 | with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally | |
2637 | came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply, | |
2638 | but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the | |
2639 | code for some other use. I have removed all the tests. | |
2640 | ||
411ef850 PH |
2641 | PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a |
2642 | feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto | |
2643 | embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the | |
2644 | only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is | |
2645 | always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad | |
2646 | effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the | |
2647 | RSA_EXPORT functionality. | |
2648 | ||
7befa435 PH |
2649 | PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot |
2650 | authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data | |
2651 | (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed | |
2652 | to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option | |
2653 | if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the | |
2654 | local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has | |
2655 | been verified. | |
2656 | ||
48da4259 | 2657 | PH/22 As suggested by Dennis Davis, added a server_condition option to *all* |
16ff981e PH |
2658 | authenticators. This can be used for authorization after authentication |
2659 | succeeds. (In the case of plaintext, it servers for both authentication | |
2660 | and authorization.) | |
2661 | ||
48da4259 PH |
2662 | PH/23 Testing for tls_required and lost_connection in a retry rule didn't work |
2663 | if any retry times were supplied. | |
2664 | ||
d1d5595c PH |
2665 | PH/24 Exim crashed if verify=helo was activated during an incoming -bs |
2666 | connection, where there is no client IP address to check. In this | |
2667 | situation, the verify now always succeeds. | |
2668 | ||
0ef732d9 PH |
2669 | PH/25 Applied John Jetmore's -Mset patch. |
2670 | ||
328895cc PH |
2671 | PH/26 Added -bem to be like -Mset, but loading a message from a file. |
2672 | ||
fd700877 PH |
2673 | PH/27 In a string expansion for a processed (not raw) header when multiple |
2674 | headers of the same name were present, leading whitespace was being | |
2675 | removed from all of them, but trailing whitespace was being removed only | |
2676 | from the last one. Now trailing whitespace is removed from each header | |
f6c332bd PH |
2677 | before concatenation. Completely empty headers in a concatenation (as |
2678 | before) are ignored. | |
fd700877 | 2679 | |
8dce1a6f PH |
2680 | PH/28 Fixed bug in backwards-compatibility feature of PH/09 (thanks to John |
2681 | Jetmore). It would have mis-read ACL variables from pre-4.61 spool files. | |
2682 | ||
17af4a17 PH |
2683 | PH/29 [Removed. This was a change that I later backed out, and forgot to |
2684 | correct the ChangeLog entry (that I had efficiently created) before | |
2685 | committing the later change.] | |
f6c332bd PH |
2686 | |
2687 | PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered | |
2688 | address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other | |
2689 | messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced", | |
2690 | so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries | |
2691 | for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more | |
2692 | hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had | |
2693 | the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list | |
2694 | of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there | |
2695 | was no problem. Two fixes have been applied: | |
2696 | ||
2697 | (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none | |
2698 | of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts | |
2699 | for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a | |
2700 | candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a | |
2701 | successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely | |
2702 | reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host". | |
2703 | This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done | |
2704 | previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any | |
2705 | harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization. | |
2706 | ||
2707 | (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the | |
2708 | routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep | |
2709 | hammering the server. | |
2710 | ||
c1114884 PH |
2711 | PH/31 Installed Andrew Findlay's patch to close the writing end of the socket |
2712 | in ${readsocket because some servers need this prod. | |

7a0743eb PH |
2714 | PH/32 Added some extra debug output when updating a wait-xxx database. |
2715 | ||
0d85fa3f PH |
2716 | PH/33 The hint "could be header name not terminated by colon", which has been |
2717 | given for certain expansion errors for a long time, was not being given | |
2718 | for the ${if def:h_colon_omitted{... case. | |
2719 | ||
1bf43b78 PH |
2720 | PH/34 The spec says: "With one important exception, whenever a domain list is |
2721 | being scanned, $domain contains the subject domain." There was at least | |
2722 | one case where this was not true. | |
2723 | ||
520de300 PH |
2724 | PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being |
2725 | written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really | |
2726 | panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have | |
2727 | removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname() | |
2728 | fails. | |
2729 | ||
48c7f9e2 PH |
2730 | PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue |
2731 | runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant | |
2732 | that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different | |
2733 | message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse | |
4c04137d | 2734 | things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting |
48c7f9e2 PH |
2735 | server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems. |
2736 | I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now | |
2737 | based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change | |
2738 | can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the | |
2739 | smtp transport. | |
2740 | ||
99ea1c86 PH |
2741 | PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the |
2742 | remote server are returned as part of bounce messages. This was not | |
2743 | happening for LMTP over a pipe (the lmtp transport), but now it is the | |
2744 | same for both kinds of LMTP. | |
2745 | ||
a2042e78 PH |
2746 | PH/38 Despite being documented as not happening, Exim was rewriting addresses |
2747 | in header lines that were in fact CNAMEs. This is no longer the case. | |
2748 | ||
4fbcfc2e PH |
2749 | PH/39 If -R or -S was given with -q<time>, the effect of -R or -S was ignored, |
2750 | and queue runs started by the daemon processed all messages. This has | |
2751 | been fixed so that -R and -S can now usefully be given with -q<time>. | |

2772 | ||
2773 | SC/02 Eximstats V1.44 | |
2774 | Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in the generated | |
2775 | parser. This improves both readability and performance. | |
2776 | ||
2777 | SC/03 Eximstats V1.45 (Marco Gaiarin / Steve Campbell) | |
2778 | Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics. | |
2779 | Don't display local sender or destination tables unless | |
2780 | there is data to show. | |
2781 | Added average volumes into the top table text output. | |
2782 | ||
2783 | SC/04 Eximstats V1.46 | |
2784 | Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients) | |
2785 | as well as the number of messages. | |
2786 | ||
2787 | SC/05 Eximstats V1.47 | |
2788 | Added 'Message too big' to the list of mail rejection | |
2789 | reasons (thanks to Marco Gaiarin). | |
2790 | ||
2791 | SC/06 Eximstats V1.48 | |
2792 | Mainlog lines which have GMT offsets and are too short to | |
2793 | have a flag are now skipped. | |
2794 | ||
2795 | SC/07 Eximstats V1.49 (Alain Williams) | |
2796 | Added the -emptyok flag. | |
2797 | ||
2798 | SC/08 Eximstats V1.50 | |
2799 | Fixes for obtaining the IP address from reject messages. | |
2800 | ||
0ea2a468 JJ |
2801 | JJ/03 exipick.20061117.2, made header handling as similar to exim as possible |
2802 | (added [br]h_ prefixes, implemented RFC2047 decoding. Fixed | |
4c04137d | 2803 | whitespace changes from 4.64-PH/27 |
0ea2a468 JJ |
2804 | |
2805 | JJ/04 exipick.20061117.2, fixed format and added $message_headers_raw to | |
2806 | match 4.64-PH/13 | |
2807 | ||
2808 | JJ/05 exipick.20061117.2, bug fixes (error out sooner when invalid criteria | |
2809 | are found, allow negative numbers in numeric criteria) | |
2810 | ||
2811 | JJ/06 exipick.20061117.2, added new $message_body_missing variable | |
2812 | ||
2813 | JJ/07 exipick.20061117.2, added $received_ip_address and $received_port | |
2814 | to match changes made in 4.64-PH/43 | |
2815 | ||
8a10f5a4 PH |
2816 | PH/46 Applied Jori Hamalainen's patch to add features to exiqsumm. |
2817 | ||
30e18802 PH |
2818 | PH/47 Put in an explicit test for a DNS lookup of an address record where the |
2819 | "domain" is actually an IP address, and force a failure. This locks out | |
2820 | those revolvers/nameservers that support "A-for-A" lookups, in | |
2821 | contravention of the specifications. | |
2822 | ||
55728a4f PH |
2823 | PH/48 When a host name was looked up from an IP address, and the subsequent |
2824 | forward lookup of the name timed out, the host name was left in | |
2825 | $sender_host_name, contrary to the specification. | |
d7d7b289 | 2826 | |
d7837193 PH |
2827 | PH/49 Although default lookup types such as lsearch* or cdb*@ have always been |
2828 | restricted to single-key lookups, Exim was not diagnosing an error if | |
2829 | * or *@ was used with a query-style lookup. | |
2830 | ||
87054a31 PH |
2831 | PH/50 Increased the value of DH_BITS in tls-gnu.c from 768 to 1024. |
2832 | ||
ea2c01d2 MH |
2833 | MH/01 local_scan ABI version incremented to 1.1. It should have been updated |
2834 | long ago, but noone interested enough thought of it. Let's just say that | |
2835 | the "1.1" means that there are some new functions that weren't there at | |
2836 | some point in the past. | |
2837 | ||
e4fa6968 PH |
2838 | PH/51 Error processing for expansion failure of helo_data from an smtp |
2839 | transport during callout processing was broken. | |
2840 | ||
56f5d9bd PH |
2841 | PH/52 Applied John Jetmore's patch to allow tls-on-connect and STARTTLS to be |
2842 | tested/used via the -bh/-bhc/-bs options. | |
2843 | ||
922e1c28 PH |
2844 | PH/53 Added missing "#include <time.h>" to pcre/pcretest.c (this was a PCRE |
2845 | bug, fixed in subsequent PCRE releases). | |
2846 | ||
21eb6e72 PH |
2847 | PH/54 Applied Robert Bannocks' patch to avoid a problem with references that |
2848 | arises when using the Solaris LDAP libraries (but not with OpenLDAP). | |
2849 | ||
a0540757 PH |
2850 | PH/55 Check for a ridiculously long file name in exim_dbmbuild. |
2851 | ||
944e9e9c | 2852 | |
478be7b0 SC |
2853 | Exim version 4.63 |
2854 | ----------------- | |
2855 | ||
2856 | SC/01 Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in eximstats generated | |
2857 | parser. This improves both readability and performance. | |
2858 | ||
2859 | SC/02 Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics in eximstats. | |
2860 | Don't display local sender or destination tables in eximstats unless | |
2861 | there is data to show. | |
2862 | Added average volumes into the eximstats top table text output. | |
2863 | ||
2864 | SC/03 Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients) as well | |
2865 | as the number of messages in eximstats. | |
2866 | ||
2b965a65 TF |
2867 | TF/01 Correct an error in the documentation for the redirect router. Exim |
2868 | does (usually) call initgroups() when daemonizing. | |
478be7b0 | 2869 | |
45b91596 PH |
2870 | TF/02 Call initgroups() when dropping privilege in exim.c, so that Exim runs |
2871 | with consistent privilege compared to when running as a daemon. | |
478be7b0 | 2872 | |
c59f5781 TF |
2873 | TF/03 Note in the spec that $authenticated_id is not set for local |
2874 | submissions from trusted users. | |
2875 | ||
90fc3069 TF |
2876 | TF/04 The ratelimit per_rcpt option now works correctly in acl_not_smtp. |
2877 | Thanks to Dean Brooks <dean@iglou.com> for the patch. | |
2878 | ||
6083aca0 TF |
2879 | TF/05 Make it easier to get SMTP authentication and TLS/SSL support working |
2880 | by adding some example configuration directives to the default | |
2881 | configuration file. A little bit of work is required to uncomment the | |
2882 | directives and define how usernames and passwords are checked, but | |
2883 | there is now a framework to start from. | |
2884 | ||
765b530f PH |
2885 | PH/01 Added #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 to ldap.c because some of the "old" |
2886 | functions that Exim currently uses aren't defined in ldap.h for OpenLDAP | |
2887 | without this. I don't know how relevant this is to other LDAP libraries. | |
2888 | ||
4e167a8c PH |
2889 | PH/02 Add the verb name to the "unknown ACL verb" error. |
2890 | ||
4608d683 PH |
2891 | PH/03 Magnus Holmgren's patch for filter_prepend_home. |
2892 | ||
b8dc3e4a PH |
2893 | PH/03 Fixed Bugzilla #101: macro definition between ACLs doesn't work. |
2894 | ||
5418e93b PH |
2895 | PH/04 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch to fix Bugzilla #98: transport's home |
2896 | directory not expanded when it should be if an expanded home directory | |
2897 | was set for the address (which is overridden by the transport). | |
2898 | ||
b4a9bda2 PH |
2899 | PH/05 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch to fix Bugzilla #99: a problem with |
2900 | libradius. | |
2901 | ||
45b91596 PH |
2902 | PH/06 Added acl_not_smtp_start, based on Johannes Berg's patch, and set the |
2903 | bit to forbid control=suppress_local_fixups in the acl_not_smtp ACL, | |
2904 | because it is too late at that time, and has no effect. | |
2905 | ||
5547e2c5 PH |
2906 | PH/07 Changed ${quote_pgsql to quote ' as '' instead of \' because of a |
2907 | security issue with \' (bugzilla #107). I could not use the | |
2908 | PQescapeStringConn() function, because it needs a PGconn value as one of | |
2909 | its arguments. | |
2910 | ||
dbcef0ea PH |
2911 | PH/08 When testing addresses using -bt, indicate those final addresses that |
2912 | are duplicates that would not cause an additional delivery. At least one | |
2913 | person was confused, thinking that -bt output corresponded to deliveries. | |
2914 | (Suppressing duplicates isn't a good idea as you lose the information | |
2915 | about possibly different redirections that led to the duplicates.) | |
2916 | ||
25257489 PH |
2917 | PH/09 Applied patch from Erik to use select() instead of poll() in spam.c on |
2918 | systems where poll() doesn't work, in particular OS X. | |
2919 | ||
c816d124 PH |
2920 | PH/10 Added more information to debugging output for retry time not reached. |
2921 | ||
a9ccd69a PH |
2922 | PH/11 Applied patch from Arkadiusz Miskiewicz to apply a timeout to read |
2923 | operations in malware.c. | |
2924 | ||
75fa1910 PH |
2925 | PH/12 Applied patch from Magnus Holmgren to include the "h" tag in Domain Keys |
2926 | signatures. | |
2927 | ||
a7d7aa58 PH |
2928 | PH/13 If write_rejectlog was set false when logging was sent to syslog with |
2929 | syslog_duplication set false, log lines that would normally be written | |
2930 | both the the main log and to the reject log were not written to syslog at | |
2931 | all. | |
2932 | ||
42119b09 PH |
2933 | PH/14 In the default configuration, change the use of "message" in ACL warn |
2934 | statements to "add_header". | |
2935 | ||
41609df5 PH |
2936 | PH/15 Diagnose a filter syntax error for "seen", "unseen", or "noerror" if not |
2937 | not followed by a command (e.g. "seen endif"). | |
2938 | ||
a5bd321b PH |
2939 | PH/16 Recognize SMTP codes at the start of "message" in ACLs and after :fail: |
2940 | and :defer: in a redirect router. Add forbid_smtp_code to suppress the | |
2941 | latter. | |
2942 | ||
e85a7ad5 | 2943 | PH/17 Added extra conditions to the default value of delay_warning_condition |
5dff5817 PH |
2944 | so that it is now: |
2945 | ||
e85a7ad5 PH |
2946 | ${if or { \ |
2947 | { !eq{$h_list-id:$h_list-post:$h_list-subscribe:}{} } \ | |
2948 | { match{$h_precedence:}{(?i)bulk|list|junk} } \ | |
2949 | { match{$h_auto-submitted:}{(?i)auto-generated|auto-replied} } \ | |
5dff5817 PH |
2950 | }{no}{yes}} |
2951 | ||
e85a7ad5 PH |
2952 | The Auto-Submitted: and various List- headers are standardised, whereas I |
2953 | don't think Precedence: ever was. | |
5dff5817 | 2954 | |
d8fe1c03 PH |
2955 | PH/18 Refactored debugging code in route_finduser() to show more information, |
2956 | in particular, the error code if getpwnam() issues one. | |
2957 | ||
16282d2b PH |
2958 | PH/19 Added PQsetClientEncoding(conn, "SQL_ASCII") to the pgsql code module. |
2959 | This is apparently needed in addition to the PH/07 change above to avoid | |
2960 | any possible encoding problems. | |
2961 | ||
35d40a98 PH |
2962 | PH/20 Perl can change the locale. Exim was resetting it after a ${perl call, |
2963 | but not after initializing Perl. | |
2964 | ||
034d99ab PH |
2965 | PH/21 Added a call to PQsetNoticeProcessor() to catch pgsql "notices" and |
2966 | output them only if debugging. By default they are written stderr, | |
2967 | apparently, which is not desirable. | |
2968 | ||
6ec97b1b PH |
2969 | PH/22 Added Alain Williams' LDAP patch to support setting REFERRALS=off on |
2970 | queries. | |
2971 | ||
e22ca4ac JJ |
2972 | JJ/01 exipick: added --reverse (and -R synonym), --random, --size, --sort and |
2973 | --not options | |
2974 | ||
2975 | JJ/02 exipick: rewrote --help documentation to hopefully make more clear. | |
2976 | ||
33d73e3b PH |
2977 | PH/23 Made -oMaa and -oMt work with -bh and -bs to pretend the connection is |
2978 | authenticated or an ident call has been made. Suppress the default | |
2979 | values for $authenticated_id and $authenticated_sender (but permit -oMai | |
2980 | and -oMas) when testing with -bh. | |
2981 | ||
9ecb03f3 PH |
2982 | PH/24 Re-jigged the order of the tests in the default configuration so that the |
2983 | tests for valid domains and recipients precede the DNS black list and CSA | |
2984 | tests, on the grounds that those ones are more expensive. | |
2985 | ||
084efe8d PH |
2986 | PH/25 Exim was not testing for a space following SMTP commands such as EHLO |
2987 | that require one. Thus, EHLORHUBARB was interpreted as a valid command. | |
2988 | This bug exists in every version of Exim that I still have, right back to | |
2989 | 0.12. | |
2990 | ||
366fc9f0 PH |
2991 | PH/26 (n)wildlsearch lookups are documented as being done case-insensitively. |
2992 | However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by | |
2993 | including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already | |
2994 | lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a | |
2995 | one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected. | |
2996 | ||

c887c79e TF |
2998 | Exim version 4.62 |
2999 | ----------------- | |
3000 | ||
3001 | TF/01 Fix the add_header change below (4.61 PH/55) which had a bug that (amongst | |
3002 | other effects) broke the use of negated acl sub-conditions. | |
3003 | ||
1cce3af8 PH |
3004 | PH/01 ${readsocket now supports Internet domain sockets (modified John Jetmore |
3005 | patch). | |
3006 | ||
afb3eaaf PH |
3007 | PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow". |
3008 | "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error. | |
3009 | Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure, | |
3010 | tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some | |
3011 | kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this. | |
3012 | Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a | |
3013 | 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs | |
3014 | if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a | |
3015 | 451 error is used. | |
3016 | ||
e173618b PH |
3017 | PH/03 Add -lutil to the default FreeBSD LIBS setting. |
3018 | ||
dd16e114 PH |
3019 | PH/04 Change PH/19 for 4.61 was too wide. It should not be applied to host |
3020 | errors. Otherwise a message that provokes a temporary error (when other | |
3021 | messages do not) can cause a whole host to time out. | |
3022 | ||
f7fd3850 PH |
3023 | PH/05 Batch deliveries by appendfile and pipe transports did not work when the |
3024 | addresses were routed directly to files or pipes from a redirect router. | |
3025 | File deliveries just didn't batch; pipe deliveries might have suffered | |
3026 | odd errors. | |
3027 | ||
d87df92c PH |
3028 | PH/06 A failure to get a lock for a hints database would erroneously always say |
3029 | "Failed to get write lock", even when it was really a read lock. | |
3030 | ||
7e9f683d PH |
3031 | PH/07 The appendfile transport was creating MBX lock files with a fixed mode |
3032 | of 0600. This has been changed to use the value of the lockfile_mode | |
3033 | option (which defaults to 0600). | |
3034 | ||
bfad5236 PH |
3035 | PH/08 Applied small patch from the Sieve maintainer. |
3036 | ||
01c490df PH |
3037 | PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash |
3038 | folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed | |
3039 | up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was | |
3040 | used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox | |
3041 | was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an | |
3042 | excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota | |
3043 | processing for deliveries into excluded directories. | |
3044 | ||
d6629cdc PH |
3045 | PH/10 Added the maildirfolder_create_regex option to appendfile. |
3046 | ||
1cce3af8 | 3047 | |
214e2000 PH |
3048 | Exim version 4.61 |
3049 | ----------------- | |
3050 | ||
3051 | PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD | |
3052 | system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD | |
3053 | systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken | |
3054 | code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the | |
3055 | IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was | |
3056 | that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6 | |
3057 | addresses as local. | |
3058 | ||
f9daeae0 PH |
3059 | PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@ |
3060 | [ipv6:....] because it didn't know about the "ipv6:" prefix. | |
3061 | ||
7e66e54d PH |
3062 | PH/03 Added disable_ipv6. |
3063 | ||
c8ea1597 PH |
3064 | PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the |
3065 | decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers | |
3066 | lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically | |
3067 | invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all | |
3068 | newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not | |
3069 | grumble. | |
3070 | ||
911f6fde PH |
3071 | PH/05 If group was specified without a user on a router, and no group or user |
3072 | was specified on a transport, the group from the router was ignored. | |
3073 | ||
47ca6d6c PH |
3074 | PH/06 Increased the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type, and arranged |
3075 | for visible compile-time settings that can be used to change these | |
3076 | numbers, for those that want even more. Backwards compatibility with old | |
3077 | spool files has been maintained. However, going back to a previous Exim | |
3078 | release will lost any variables that are in spool files. | |
3079 | ||
ed0e9820 PH |
3080 | PH/07 Two small changes when running in the test harness: increase delay when |
3081 | passing a TCP/IP connection to a new process, in case the original | |
3082 | process has to generate a bounce, and remove special handling of | |
3083 | 127.0.0.2 (sic), which is no longer necessary. | |
3084 | ||
eff37e47 PH |
3085 | PH/08 Changed debug output of dbfn_open() flags from numbers to names, so as to |
3086 | be the same on different OS. | |
3087 | ||
1921d2ea PH |
3088 | PH/09 Moved a debug statement in filter processing to avoid a race problem when |
3089 | testing. | |
3090 | ||
b3f69ca8 JJ |
3091 | JJ/01 exipick: fixed bug where -b (brief) output option showed "Vars:" |
3092 | whether --show-vars was specified or not | |
3093 | ||
3094 | JJ/02 exipick: Added support for new ACL variable spool format introduced | |
3095 | in 4.61-PH/06 | |
3096 | ||
424a1c63 PH |
3097 | PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a |
3098 | syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to | |
3099 | generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the | |
3100 | autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file | |
3101 | name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that | |
3102 | it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a | |
3103 | bounce message. | |
3104 | ||
7a100415 PH |
3105 | PH/11 The exinext utility has a -C option for testing purposes, but although |
3106 | the given file was scanned by exinext itself; it wasn't being passed on | |
3107 | when Exim was called. | |
3108 | ||
19b9dc85 PH |
3109 | PH/12 In the smtp transport, treat an explicit ECONNRESET error the same as |
3110 | an end-of-file indication when reading a command response. | |
3111 | ||
309bd837 PH |
3112 | PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was |
3113 | compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always | |
3114 | recognized, so I have changed this. It also means that IPv4 domain | |
3115 | literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized. | |
3116 | ||
59e82a2a PH |
3117 | PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be |
3118 | used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at | |
3119 | ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was | |
3120 | non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two | |
3121 | changes: | |
3122 | ||
3123 | (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader | |
3124 | in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate | |
4c04137d | 3125 | suitable debugging output when -d is set. |
59e82a2a PH |
3126 | |
3127 | (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root, | |
3128 | outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs | |
3129 | the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid. | |
3130 | ||
9edc04ce PH |
3131 | PH/15 Minor change to Makefile for building test_host (undocumented testing |
3132 | feature). | |
3133 | ||
1349e1e5 PH |
3134 | PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the |
3135 | additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records. | |
3136 | Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids | |
3137 | major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one | |
3138 | type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has | |
3139 | fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding | |
3140 | address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port | |
3141 | values from the SRV records were lost. | |
3142 | ||
ea49d0e1 PH |
3143 | PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not |
3144 | using the correct key (the original address) when searching the retry | |
3145 | rules in order to find which one to use for generating the retry hint. | |
3146 | ||
064a94c9 PH |
3147 | PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from |
3148 | adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the | |
3149 | errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used. | |
3150 | ||
727071f8 PH |
3151 | PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since |
3152 | failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now | |
3153 | it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the | |
3154 | message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better | |
3155 | behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the | |
3156 | "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message | |
3157 | when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the | |
3158 | "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent | |
3159 | delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended. | |
dd16e114 | 3160 | [Note: This change was subsequently modified - see PH/04 for 4.62.] |
727071f8 | 3161 | |
f78eb7c6 PH |
3162 | PH/20 Added $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 to contain authentication data (as well as |
3163 | $1, $2, $3) because the numerical variables can be reset during some | |
3164 | expansion items (e.g. "match"), thereby losing the authentication data. | |
3165 | ||
21c28500 PH |
3166 | PH/21 Make -bV show the size of off_t variables so that the test suite can |
3167 | decide whether to run tests for quotas > 2G. | |
3168 | ||
3169 | PH/22 Test the values given for quota, quota_filecount, quota_warn_threshold, | |
3170 | mailbox_size, and mailbox_filecount in the appendfile transport. If a | |
3171 | filecount value is greater than 2G or if a quota value is greater than 2G | |
3172 | on a system where the size of off_t is not greater than 4, a panic error | |
3173 | is given. | |
3174 | ||
1688f43b PH |
3175 | PH/23 When a malformed item such as 1.2.3/24 appears in a host list, it can |
3176 | never match. The debug and -bh output now contains an explicit error | |
3177 | message indicating a malformed IPv4 address or mask. | |
3178 | ||
3179 | PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address | |
3180 | 1.2.3.4 without a mask. Now it is not recognized as an IP address, and | |
3181 | PH/23 above applies. | |
3182 | ||
9675b384 PH |
3183 | PH/25 Do not write to syslog when running in the test harness. The only |
3184 | occasion when this arises is a failure to open the main or panic logs | |
3185 | (for which there is an explicit test). | |
3186 | ||
6a3f1455 PH |
3187 | PH/26 Added the /no_tell option to "control=freeze". |
3188 | ||
dac79d3e PH |
3189 | PH/27 If a host name lookup failed very early in a connection, for example, if |
3190 | the IP address matched host_lookup and the reverse lookup yielded a name | |
3191 | that did not have a forward lookup, an error message of the form "no IP | |
3192 | address found for host xxx.xxx.xxx (during SMTP connection from NULL)" | |
3193 | could be logged. Now it outputs the IP address instead of "NULL". | |
1349e1e5 | 3194 | |
5977a0b3 PH |
3195 | PH/28 An enabling patch from MH: add new function child_open_exim2() which |
3196 | allows the sender and the authenticated sender to be set when | |
3197 | submitting a message from within Exim. Since child_open_exim() is | |
3198 | documented for local_scan(), the new function should be too. | |
3199 | ||
c91535f3 PH |
3200 | PH/29 In GnuTLS, a forced expansion failure for tls_privatekey was not being |
3201 | ignored. In both GnuTLS and OpenSSL, an expansion of tls_privatekey that | |
3202 | results in an empty string is now treated as unset. | |
3203 | ||
0d46a8c8 PH |
3204 | PH/30 Fix eximon buffer overflow bug (Bugzilla #73). |
3205 | ||
278c6e6c PH |
3206 | PH/31 Added sender_verify_fail logging option. |
3207 | ||
2cbb4081 PH |
3208 | PH/32 In November 2003, the code in Exim that added an empty Bcc: header when |
3209 | needed by RFC 822 but not by RFC 2822 was commented out. I have now | |
3210 | tidied the source and removed it altogether. | |
3211 | ||
3eef829e PH |
3212 | PH/33 When a queue run was abandoned because the load average was too high, a |
3213 | log line was always written; now it is written only if the queue_run log | |
3214 | selector is set. In addition, the log line for abandonment now contains | |
3215 | information about the queue run such as the pid. This is always present | |
3216 | in "start" and "stop" lines but was omitted from the "abandon" line. | |
3217 | ||
1ab95fa6 PH |
3218 | PH/34 Omit spaces between a header name and the colon in the error message that |
3219 | is given when verify = headers_syntax fails (if there are lots of them, | |
3220 | the message gets confusing). | |
3221 | ||
230205fc PH |
3222 | PH/35 Change the default for dns_check_names_pattern to allow slashes within |
3223 | names, as there are now some PTR records that contain slashes. This check | |
3224 | is only to protect against broken name servers that fall over on strange | |
3225 | characters, so the fact that it applies to all lookups doesn't matter. | |
3226 | ||
75e0e026 PH |
3227 | PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the |
3228 | special code in Exim that was needed for the old test suite. For example, | |
3229 | sorting DNS records because real resolvers return them in an arbitrary | |
3230 | order. The new test suite's fake resolver always returns records in the | |
3231 | same order. | |
3232 | ||
3233 | PH/37 When running in the test harness, use -odi for submitted messages (e.g. | |
3234 | bounces) except when queue_only is set, to avoid logging races between | |
3235 | the different processes. | |
3236 | ||
145396a6 PH |
3237 | PH/38 Panic-die if .include specifies a non-absolute path. |

3239 | PH/39 A tweak to the "H" retry rule from its user. |
3240 | ||
11121d3d JJ |
3241 | JJ/03 exipick: Removed parentheses from 'next' and 'last' calls that specified |
3242 | a label. They prevented compilation on older perls. | |
3243 | ||
3244 | JJ/04 exipick: Refactored code to prevent implicit split to @_ which caused | |
3245 | a warning to be raised on newish perls. | |
3246 | ||
3247 | JJ/05 exipick: Fixed bug where -bpc always showed a count of all messages | |
3248 | on queue. Changes to match documented behaviour of showing count of | |
3249 | messages matching specified criteria. | |
3250 | ||
8def5aaf PH |
3251 | PH/40 Changed the default ident timeout from 30s to 5s. |
3252 | ||
929ba01c PH |
3253 | PH/41 Added support for the use of login_cap features, on those BSD systems |
3254 | that have them, for controlling the resources used by pipe deliveries. | |
3255 | ||
2632889e PH |
3256 | PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put |
3257 | message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of | |
3258 | the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates | |
3259 | files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these | |
3260 | files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because, | |
3261 | being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have | |
3262 | created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode | |
3263 | argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required | |
3264 | mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the | |
3265 | content scanning code have been changed to use this function. | |
3266 | ||
944a9c55 PH |
3267 | PH/43 If retry_interval_max is set greater than 24 hours, it is quietly reset |
3268 | to 24 hours. This avoids potential overflow problems when processing G | |
3269 | and H retry rules. I suspect nobody ever tinkers with this value. | |
3270 | ||
4a23603b PH |
3271 | PH/44 Added STRIP_COMMAND=/usr/bin/strip to the FreeBSD Makefile. |
3272 | ||
4730f942 PH |
3273 | PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's |
3274 | challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By | |
3275 | default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is | |
3276 | received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors. | |
3277 | The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as | |
3278 | they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the | |
3279 | challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in | |
3280 | the variable. | |
3281 | ||
30dba1e6 PH |
3282 | PH/46 Messages that are created by the autoreply transport now contains a |
3283 | References: header, in accordance with RFCs 2822 and 3834. | |
3284 | ||
382afc6b PH |
3285 | PH/47 Added authenticated_sender_force to the smtp transport. |
3286 | ||
a86229cf PH |
3287 | PH/48 The ${prvs expansion was broken on systems where time_t was long long. |
3288 | ||
50c99ba6 PH |
3289 | PH/49 Installed latest patch from the Sieve maintainer. |
3290 | ||
d35e429d PH |
3291 | PH/50 When an Exim quota was set without a file count quota, and mailbox_size |
3292 | was also set, the appendfile transport was unnecessarily scanning a | |
3293 | directory of message files (e.g. for maildir delivery) to find the count | |
3294 | of files (along with the size), even though it did not need this | |
3295 | information. It now does the scan only if it needs to find either the | |
3296 | size of the count of files. | |
3297 | ||
f90d018c PH |
3298 | PH/51 Added ${time_eval: to convert Exim time strings into seconds. |
3299 | ||
75def545 PH |
3300 | PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is |
3301 | used in LMTP mode: | |
3302 | ||
3303 | (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given | |
3304 | for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport | |
3305 | was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too | |
3306 | frequently, and not timed out correctly. | |
3307 | ||
3308 | (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned | |
3309 | for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual | |
3310 | recipients that were returned after the DATA command. | |
3311 | ||
3312 | PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address, | |
3313 | when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the | |
3314 | sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only | |
3315 | "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as | |
3316 | well as "retry timeout exceeded". | |
3317 | ||
c46782ef PH |
3318 | PH/54 Added control=allow_auth_unadvertised, as it seems there are clients that |
3319 | do this, and (what is worse) MTAs that accept it. | |
3320 | ||
71fafd95 PH |
3321 | PH/55 Added the add_header modified to ACLs. The use of "message" with "warn" |
3322 | will now be deprecated. | |
3323 | ||
2c5db4fd PH |
3324 | PH/56 New os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer. |
3325 | ||
9cf6b11a JJ |
3326 | JJ/06 exipick: added --unsorted option to allow unsorted output in all output |
3327 | formats (previously only available in exim formats via -bpr, -bpru, | |
3328 | and -bpra. Now also available in native and exiqgrep formats) | |
3329 | ||
3330 | JJ/07 exipick: added --freeze and --thaw options to allow faster interaction | |
3331 | with very large, slow to parse queues | |
3332 | ||
3333 | JJ/08 exipick: added ! as generic prefix to negate any criteria format | |
3334 | ||
3335 | JJ/09 exipick: miscellaneous performance enhancements (~24% improvements) | |
3336 | ||
898d150f PH |
3337 | PH/57 Tidies in SMTP dialogue display in debug output: (i) It was not showing |
3338 | responses to authentication challenges, though it was showing the | |
3339 | challenges; (ii) I've removed the CR characters from the debug output for | |
3340 | SMTP output lines. | |
3341 | ||
46218253 PH |
3342 | PH/58 Allow for the insertion of a newline as well as a space when a string |
3343 | is turned into more than one encoded-word during RFC 2047 encoding. The | |
3344 | Sieve code now uses this. | |
3345 | ||
e97957bc PH |
3346 | PH/59 Added the following errors that can be detected in retry rules: mail_4xx, |
3347 | data_4xx, lost_connection, tls_required. | |
3348 | ||
81e509d7 PH |
3349 | PH/60 When a VRFY deferred or FAILED, the log message rather than the user |
3350 | message was being sent as an SMTP response. | |
3351 | ||
3d240ff7 PH |
3352 | PH/61 Add -l and -k options to exicyclog. |
3353 | ||
b37c4101 PH |
3354 | PH/62 When verifying, if an address was redirected to one new address, so that |
3355 | verification continued, and the new address failed or deferred after | |
3356 | having set something in $address_data, the value of $address_data was not | |
3357 | passed back to the ACL. This was different to the case when no | |
3358 | redirection occurred. The value is now passed back in both cases. | |
3359 | ||
79378e0f PH |
3360 | PH/63 Changed the macro HAVE_LOGIN_CAP (see PH/41 for this release above) to |
3361 | HAVE_SETCLASSRESOURCES because there are different APIs in use that all | |
3362 | use login_cap.h, so on its own it isn't the distinguishing feature. The | |
3363 | new name refers directly to the setclassresources() function. | |
3364 | ||
e49c7bb4 PH |
3365 | PH/65 Added configuration files for NetBSD3. |
3366 | ||
d114ec46 PH |

f3d7df6c PH |
3369 | PH/67 Fixed minor infelicity in the sorting of addresses to ensure that IPv6 |
3370 | is preferred over IPv4. | |
3371 | ||
715ab376 PH |
3372 | PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being |
3373 | honoured for bounces generated during the reception of non-SMTP messages. | |
3374 | In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has | |
3375 | been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_ | |
3376 | body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message | |
3377 | include only those that have been read before the error was detected. | |
3378 | (In the case of an ACL rejection, they have all been read.) | |
3379 | ||
6b31b150 PH |
3380 | PH/69 The HTML version of the specification is now built in a directory called |
3381 | spec_html instead of spec.html, because the latter looks like a path with | |
3382 | a MIME-type, and this confuses some software. | |
3383 | ||
3384 | PH/70 Catch two compiler warnings in sieve.c. | |
3385 | ||
d515a917 PH |
3386 | PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The |
3387 | function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but | |
3388 | if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the | |
3389 | socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in | |
3390 | between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When | |
3391 | the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file | |
3392 | descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is | |
3393 | not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by | |
3394 | the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where | |
3395 | this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now | |
3396 | uses, but I've fixed it anyway. | |
3397 | ||
9b8fadde PH |
3398 | PH/72 Make dns_again_means_nonexist apply to lookups using gethostbyname() as |
3399 | well as to direct DNS lookups. Otherwise the handling of names in host | |
3400 | lists is inconsistent and therefore confusing. | |

cc38ddbf PH |
3406 | PH/01 Two changes to the default runtime configuration: |
3407 | ||
3408 | (1) Move the checks for relay_from_hosts and authenticated clients from | |
3409 | after to before the (commented out) DNS black list checks. | |
3410 | ||
3411 | (2) Add control=submission to the relay_from_hosts and authenticated | |
3412 | clients checks, on the grounds that messages accepted by these | |
3413 | statements are most likely to be submissions. | |
5de37277 | 3414 | |
72fdd6ae PH |
3415 | PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck: |
3416 | ||
3417 | (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is | |
3418 | not a single digit. | |
3419 | ||
3420 | (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty | |
3421 | string. | |
3422 | ||
3423 | (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of | |
3424 | ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code, | |
3425 | because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do | |
3426 | silly things. | |
3427 | ||
3428 | (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by | |
3429 | one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-). | |
3430 | ||
3431 | (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result | |
3432 | inside the third argument. | |

3434 | PH/03 For some reason, the default setting of PATH when running a command from |

3437 | ||
f174f16e PH |
3438 | PH/04 SUPPORT_TRANSLATE_IP_ADDRESS and MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES did not cause |

b2f5a032 | 3440 | |
c25242d7 PH |
3441 | PH/05 When a filter generated an autoreply, the entire To: header line was |
3442 | quoted in the delivery log line, like this: | |
3443 | ||
3444 | => >A.N.Other <ano@some.domain> <original@ddress> ... | |
3445 | ||
3446 | This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There | |
3447 | may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like | |
3448 | this: | |
3449 | ||
3450 | => >ano@some.domain,ona@other.domain <original@ddress> ... | |
3451 | ||
82c19f95 PH |
3452 | PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO |
3453 | command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was | |
3454 | not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the | |
3455 | IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were | |
3456 | identical. For example: | |
3457 | ||
3458 | Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4]) | |
3459 | ||
3460 | However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data | |
3461 | if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it | |
3462 | doesn't show the same IP address twice. | |
3463 | ||
d7ffbc12 PH |
3464 | PH/07 When both +timestamp and +memory debugging was on, the value given by |
3465 | $tod_xxx expansions could be wrong, because the tod_stamp() function was | |
3466 | called by the debug printing, thereby overwriting the timestamp buffer. | |
3467 | Debugging no longer uses the tod_stamp() function when +timestamp is set. | |
3468 | ||
9f526266 PH |
3469 | PH/08 When the original message was included in an autoreply transport, it |
3470 | always said "this is a copy of the message, including all the headers", | |
3471 | even if body_only or headers_only was set. It now gives an appropriate | |
3472 | message. | |

3474 | PH/09 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which: |
3475 | ||
3476 | o fixes some comments | |
3477 | o adds the (disabled) notify extension core | |
3478 | o adds some debug output for the result of if/elsif tests | |
3479 | o points to the current vacation draft in the documentation | |
3480 | and documents the missing references header update | |
3481 | ||
3482 | and most important: | |
3483 | ||
3484 | o fixes a bug in processing the envelope test (when testing | |
4c04137d | 3485 | multiple envelope elements, the last element determined the |
87fcc8b9 PH |
3486 | result) |
3487 | ||
456682f5 PH |
3488 | PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to |
3489 | Electronic Mail") by including: | |
3490 | ||
3491 | Auto-submitted: auto-generated | |
3492 | ||
3493 | in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as | |
4c04137d | 3494 | warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP messages, there was |
456682f5 PH |
3495 | also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of |
3496 | hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response | |
3497 | to another message, thes have all been changed to: | |
3498 | ||
3499 | Auto-Submitted: auto-replied | |
3500 | ||
3501 | in accordance with these statements in the RFC: | |
3502 | ||
3503 | The auto-replied keyword: | |
3504 | ||
3505 | - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another | |
3506 | message by an automatic process, | |
3507 | ||
3508 | - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages, | |
3509 | ||
3510 | - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message | |
3511 | Disposition Notifications (MDNs), | |
3512 | ||
3513 | - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic | |
3514 | processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to | |
3515 | other messages. | |
3516 | ||
3e46c1aa PH |
3517 | PH/11 Added "${if def:sender_address {(envelope-from <$sender_address>)\n\t}}" |
3518 | to the default Received: header definition. | |
456682f5 | 3519 | |
49826d12 PH |
3520 | PH/12 Added log selector acl_warn_skipped (default on). |
3521 | ||
eba0c039 PH |
3522 | PH/13 After a successful wildlsearch lookup, discard the values of numeric |
3523 | variables because (a) they are in the wrong storage pool and (b) even if | |
3524 | they were copied, it wouldn't work properly because of the caching. | |
3525 | ||
a0d6ba8a PH |
3526 | PH/14 Add check_rfc2047_length to disable enforcement of RFC 2047 length |
3527 | checking when decoding. Apparently there are clients that generate | |
3528 | overlong encoded strings. Why am I not surprised? | |
3529 | ||
f0917727 PH |
3530 | PH/15 If the first argument of "${if match_address" was not empty, but did not |
3531 | contain an "@" character, Exim crashed. Now it writes a panic log message | |
3532 | and treats the condition as false. | |
3533 | ||
096fee00 PH |
3534 | PH/16 In autoreply, treat an empty string for "once" the same as unset. |
3535 | ||
024bd3c2 PH |
3536 | PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve |
3537 | extension "envelope-auth". The code is finished and in agreement with | |
3538 | other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact, | |
3539 | nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus | |
3540 | not changing the active code. | |
3541 | ||
3542 | Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This | |
3543 | helps a great deal to understand what a filter does. | |
3544 | ||
3545 | Document more things not specified clearly in RFC3028. I had all this | |
3546 | sorted out, when out of a sudden new issues came to my mind. Oops." | |
3547 | ||
df199fec PH |
3548 | PH/18 Exim was not recognizing the "net-" search type prefix in match_ip lists |
3549 | (Bugzilla #53). | |
3550 | ||
d27f1df3 PH |
3551 | PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated |
3552 | canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from | |
3553 | the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with | |
3554 | addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did | |
3555 | have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6 | |
3556 | addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could | |
3557 | fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison | |
3558 | by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of | |
3559 | the text comparison. | |
3560 | ||
96776534 PH |
3561 | PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was |
3562 | given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated | |
3563 | form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated. | |
3564 | The same fix has been applied. | |
3565 | ||
5de37277 | 3566 | |
9a799bc0 PH |
3567 | Exim version 4.54 |
3568 | ----------------- | |
3569 | ||
3570 | PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was | |
3571 | set to 36 (for Darwin and Cygwin), but the ${base62d: operator did not. | |
3572 | It now does. | |
3573 | ||
99a4b039 PH |
3574 | PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on |
3575 | the CVS lines, and there was a missing #if HAVE_IPV6 in host.c. | |
3576 | ||
3577 | PH/03 Typo: missing ".o" in src/pcre/Makefile. | |
3578 | ||
4b233853 PH |
3579 | PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-" |
3580 | header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929. | |
3581 | Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as | |
3582 | non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated | |
3583 | anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.) | |
3584 | ||
8857ccfd PH |
3585 | TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax |
3586 | errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option | |
3587 | now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters | |
3588 | but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain | |
3589 | or /domain=). | |
3590 | ||
433a2980 PH |
3591 | PH/05 Some modifications to the interface to the fake nameserver for the new |
3592 | testing suite. | |
3593 | ||
3e46c1aa | 3594 | |
9a799bc0 | 3595 | |
e3a311ba TK |
3596 | Exim version 4.53 |
3597 | ----------------- | |
3598 | ||
3599 | TK/01 Added the "success_on_redirect" address verification option. See | |
3600 | NewStuff for rationale and an example. | |
3601 | ||
13b685f9 PH |
3602 | PH/01 Added support for SQLite, basic code supplied by David Woodhouse. |
3603 | ||
395ff96d PH |
3604 | PH/02 Patch to exigrep to allow it to work on syslog lines. |
3605 | ||
5b68f6e4 PH |
3606 | PH/03 When creating an mbox file for a virus/spam scan, use fseek() instead of |
3607 | fread() to skip over the body file's header line, because in Cygwin the | |
3608 | header line is locked and is inaccessible. | |
3609 | ||
1ab52c69 PH |
3610 | PH/04 Added $message_exim_id, ultimately to replace $message_id (they will both |
3611 | co-exist for some time) to make it clear that it is the Exim ID that is | |
3612 | referenced, not the Message-ID: header line. | |
3613 | ||
b07e6aa3 PH |
3614 | PH/05 Replaced all Tom's calls to snprintf() with calls to the internal |
3615 | string_format() function, because snprintf() does not exist on all | |
3616 | operating systems. | |
3617 | ||
254e032f PH |
3618 | PH/06 The use of forbid_filter_existstest now also locks out the use of the |
3619 | ${stat: expansion item. | |
3620 | ||
3af76a81 PH |
3621 | PH/07 Changed "SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error" into "SMTP |
3622 | protocol synchronization error", to keep the pedants happy. | |
3623 | ||
2548ba04 PH |
3624 | PH/08 Arrange for USE_INET_NTOA_FIX to be set in config.h for AIX systems as |
3625 | well as for IRIX systems, when gcc is being used. See the host.c source | |
3626 | file for comments. | |
3627 | ||
b6c6011d PH |
3628 | PH/09 Installed latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer. |
3629 | ||
cf39cf57 PH |
3630 | PH/10 Named domain lists were not working if used in a queue_smtp_domains |
3631 | setting. | |
3632 | ||
f1513293 PH |
3633 | PH/11 Added support for the IGNOREQUOTA extension to LMTP, both to the lmtp |
3634 | transport and to the smtp transport in LMTP mode. | |
3635 | ||
727549a4 PH |
3636 | TK/02 Remove one case of BASE64 error detection FTTB (undocumented anyway). |
3637 | ||
af46795e PH |
3638 | PH/12 There was a missing call to search_tidyup() before the fork() in rda.c to |
3639 | run a filter in a subprocess. This could lead to confusion in subsequent | |
3640 | lookups in the parent process. There should also be a search_tidyup() at | |
3641 | the end of the subprocess. | |
3642 | ||
d7b47fd0 PH |
3643 | PH/13 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true |
3644 | only if the host matched helo_try_verify_hosts, which caused the | |
3645 | verification to occur when the EHLO/HELO command was issued. The ACL just | |
3646 | tested the remembered result. Now, if a previous verification attempt has | |
3647 | not happened, "verify = helo" does it there and then. | |
3648 | ||
ee744174 JJ |
3649 | JJ/01 exipick: added $message_exim_id variable (see 4.53-PH/04) |
3650 | ||
b582ab87 PH |
3651 | TK/03 Fix log output including CR from clamd. |
3652 | ||
41a13e0a PH |
3653 | PH/14 A reference to $reply_address when Reply-to: was empty and From: did not |
3654 | exist provoked a memory error which could cause a segfault. | |
3655 | ||
f625cc5a PH |
3656 | PH/15 Installed PCRE 6.2 |
3657 | ||
3658 | PH/17 Defined BIND_8_COMPAT in the Darwin os.h file. | |
3659 | ||
21f7af35 PH |
3660 | PH/18 Reversed 4.52/PH/17 because the HP-UX user found it wasn't the cause |
3661 | of the problem. Specifically, suggested +O2 rather than +O1 for the | |
3662 | HP-UX compiler. | |
3663 | ||
31480e42 PH |
3664 | PH/19 Added sqlite_lock_timeout option (David Woodhouse's patch). |
3665 | ||
2d280592 PH |
3666 | PH/20 If a delivery was routed to a non-standard port by means of an SRV |
3667 | record, the port was not correctly logged when the outgoing_port log | |
3668 | selector was set (it logged the transort's default port). | |
3669 | ||
7cd1141b PH |
3670 | PH/21 Added support for host-specific ports to manualroute, queryprogram, |
3671 | fallback_hosts, and "hosts" in the smtp transport. | |
3672 | ||
3673 | PH/22 If the log selector "outgoing_port" is set, the port is now also given on | |
3674 | host errors such as "Connection refused". | |
3675 | ||
750af86e PH |
3676 | PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius |
3677 | authentication with radiusclient 0.4.9: | |
3678 | ||
3679 | - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly | |
3680 | - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length. | |
3681 | ||
3682 | The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17 | |
3683 | were not taken care of correctly. The code is still untested by me (my | |
3684 | Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of radiusclient), but it was | |
3685 | contributed by a Radius user. | |
3686 | ||
3687 | PH/24 When doing a callout, the value of $domain wasn't set correctly when | |
3688 | expanding the "port" option of the smtp transport. | |
3689 | ||
4304270b TK |
3690 | TK/04 MIME ACL: Fix buffer underrun that occurs when EOF condition is met |
3691 | while reading a MIME header. Thanks to Tom Hughes for a patch. | |
3692 | ||
750af86e PH |
3693 | PH/24 Include config.h inside local_scan.h so that configuration settings are |
3694 | available. | |
3695 | ||
64ffc24f PH |
3696 | PH/25 Make $smtp_command_argument available after all SMTP commands. This means |
3697 | that in an ACL for RCPT (for example), you can examine exactly what was | |
3698 | received. | |
3699 | ||
5dd9625b PH |
3700 | PH/26 Exim was recognizing IPv6 addresses of the form [IPv6:....] in EHLO |
3701 | commands, but it was not correctly comparing the address with the actual | |
3702 | client host address. Thus, it would show the EHLO address in Received: | |
3703 | header lines when this was not necessary. | |
3704 | ||
5591031b PH |
3705 | PH/27 Added the % operator to ${eval:}. |
3706 | ||
ba18e66a PH |
3707 | PH/28 Exim tries to create and chdir to its spool directory when it starts; |
3708 | it should be ignoring failures (because with -C, for example, it has lost | |
3709 | privilege). It wasn't ignoring creation failures other than "already | |
3710 | exists". | |
3711 | ||
9cec981f PH |
3712 | PH/29 Added "crypteq" to the list of supported features that Exim outputs when |
3713 | -bV or -d is used. | |
3714 | ||
aa2b5c79 PH |
3715 | PH/30 Fixed (presumably very longstanding) bug in exim_dbmbuild: if it failed |
3716 | because an input line was too long, either on its own, or by virtue of | |
1509d3a8 PH |
3717 | too many continuations, the temporary file was not being removed, and the |
3718 | return code was incorrect. | |
aa2b5c79 | 3719 | |
48a53b7f PH |
3720 | PH/31 Missing "BOOL" in function definition in filtertest.c. |
3721 | ||
1c59d63b PH |
3722 | PH/32 Applied Sieve patches from the maintainer. |
3723 | ||
671012da TK |
3724 | TK/05 Domainkeys: Accomodate for a minor API change in libdomainkeys 0.67. |
3725 | ||
1509d3a8 PH |
3726 | PH/33 Added "verify = not_blind". |
3727 | ||
3728 | PH/34 There are settings for CHOWN_COMMAND and MV_COMMAND that can be used in | |
3729 | Local/Makefile (with some defaults set). These are used in built scripts | |
3730 | such as exicyclog, but they have never been used in the exim_install | |
3731 | script (though there are many overriding facilities there). I have | |
3732 | arranged that the exim_install script now takes note of these two | |
3733 | settings. | |
3734 | ||
3735 | PH/35 Installed configuration files for Dragonfly. | |
3736 | ||
2fe1a124 PH |
3737 | PH/36 When a locally submitted message by a trusted user did not contain a |
3738 | From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP | |
3739 | MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender | |
3740 | name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From: | |
3741 | header. Furthermore, $originator_name was used for submission mode | |
3742 | messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way, | |
3743 | which is clearly wrong. | |
3744 | ||
8800895a PH |
3745 | PH/37 Added control=suppress_local_fixups. |
3746 | ||
ccfdb010 PH |
3747 | PH/38 When log_selector = +received_sender was set, and the addition of the |
3748 | sender made the log line's construction buffer exactly full, or one byte | |
3749 | less than full, an overflow happened when the terminating "\n" was | |
3750 | subsequently added. | |
3751 | ||
1130bfb0 PH |
3752 | PH/39 Added a new log selector, "unknown_in_list", which provokes a log entry |
3753 | when the result of a list match is failure because a DNS lookup failed. | |
3754 | ||
ebcb507f PH |
3755 | PH/40 RM_COMMAND is now used in the building process. |
3756 | ||
c35e155c PH |
3757 | PH/41 Added a "distclean" target to the top-level Makefile; it deletes all |
3758 | the "build-* directories that it finds. | |
3759 | ||
95d1f782 PH |
3760 | PH/42 (But a TF fix): In a domain list, Exim incorrectly matched @[] if the IP |
3761 | address in a domain literal was a prefix of an interface address. | |
3762 | ||
fd6de02e PH |
3763 | PH/43 (Again a TF fix): In the dnslookup router, do not apply widen_domains |
3764 | when verifying a sender address, unless rewrite_headers is false. | |
3765 | ||
58de37c5 PH |
3766 | PH/44 Wrote a long comment about why errors_to addresses are verified as |
3767 | recipients, not senders. | |
3768 | ||
261cf466 TF |
3769 | TF/01 Add missing LIBS=-lm to OS/Makefile-OpenBSD which was overlooked when |
3770 | the ratelimit ACL was added. | |
3771 | ||
3ee512ff PH |
3772 | PH/45 Added $smtp_command for the full command (cf $smtp_command_argument). |
3773 | ||
e08c430f PH |
3774 | PH/46 Added extra information about PostgreSQL errors to the error string. |
3775 | ||
bef5a11f PH |
3776 | PH/47 Added an interface to a fake DNS resolver for use by the new test suite, |
3777 | avoiding the need to install special zones in a real server. This is | |
3778 | backwards compatible; if it can't find the fake resolver, it drops back. | |
3779 | Thus, both old and new test suites can be run. | |
3780 | ||
7546de58 TF |
3781 | TF/02 Added util/ratelimit.pl |
3782 | ||
e5d5a95f TF |
3783 | TF/03 Minor fix to the ratelimit code to improve its behaviour in case the |
3784 | clock is set back in time. | |
3785 | ||
2e88a017 TF |
3786 | TF/04 Fix the ratelimit support in exim_fixdb. Patch provided by Brian |
3787 | Candler <B.Candler@pobox.com>. | |
3788 | ||
a5f65aa4 TF |
3789 | TF/05 The fix for PH/43 was not completely correct; widen_domains is always |
3790 | OK for addresses that are the result of redirections. | |
3791 | ||
e7726cbf PH |
3792 | PH/48 A number of further additions for the benefit of the new test suite, |
3793 | including a fake gethostbyname() that interfaces to the fake DNS resolver | |
3794 | (see PH/47 above). | |
3795 | ||
a7fdad5b TF |
3796 | TF/06 The fix for widen_domains has also been applied to qualify_single and |
3797 | search_parents which are the other dnslookup options that can cause | |
3798 | header rewrites. | |
3799 | ||
6af56900 PH |
3800 | PH/49 Michael Haardt's randomized retrying, but as a separate retry parameter |
3801 | type ("H"). | |
3802 | ||
0925ede6 PH |
3803 | PH/50 Make never_users, trusted_users, admin_groups, trusted_groups expandable. |
3804 | ||
66afa403 TF |
3805 | TF/07 Exim produced the error message "an SRV record indicated no SMTP |
3806 | service" if it encountered an MX record with an empty target hostname. | |
3807 | The message is now "an MX or SRV record indicated no SMTP service". | |
3808 | ||
0154e85a TF |
3809 | TF/08 Change PH/13 introduced the possibility that verify=helo may defer, |
3810 | if the DNS of the sending site is misconfigured. This is quite a | |
3811 | common situation. This change restores the behaviour of treating a | |
3812 | helo verification defer as a failure. | |
3813 | ||
16f12c76 PH |
3814 | PH/51 If self=fail was set on a router, the bounce message did not include the |
3815 | actual error message. | |
3816 | ||
bbe902f0 | 3817 | |
e5a9dba6 PH |
3818 | Exim version 4.52 |
3819 | ----------------- | |
3820 | ||
3821 | TF/01 Added support for Client SMTP Authorization. See NewStuff for details. | |
3822 | ||
22c3b60b PH |
3823 | PH/01 When a transport filter timed out in a pipe delivery, and the pipe |
3824 | command itself ended in error, the underlying message about the transport | |
3825 | filter timeout was being overwritten with the pipe command error. Now the | |
3826 | underlying error message should be appended to the second error message. | |
3827 | ||
06a9b4b5 PH |
3828 | TK/01 Fix poll() being unavailable on Mac OSX 10.2. |
3829 | ||
c1ac6996 PH |
3830 | PH/02 Reduce the amount of output that "make" produces by default. Full output |
3831 | can still be requested. | |
3832 | ||
9c7a242c PH |
3833 | PH/03 The warning log line about a condition test deferring for a "warn" verb |
3834 | was being output only once per connection, rather than after each | |
3835 | occurrence (because it was using the same function as for successful | |
3836 | "warn" verbs). This seems wrong, so I have changed it. | |
3837 | ||
87ba3f5f PH |
3838 | TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that |
3839 | it should not have, which might have caused a crash in the right | |
3840 | circumstances, but probably never did. | |
3841 | ||
3842 | PH/04 Installed a modified version of Tony Finch's patch to make submission | |
3843 | mode fix the return path as well as the Sender: header line, and to | |
3844 | add a /name= option so that you can make the user's friendly name appear | |
3845 | in the header line. | |
3846 | ||
29aba418 TF |
3847 | TF/03 Added the control = fakedefer ACL modifier. |
3848 | ||
fe0dab11 TF |
3849 | TF/04 Added the ratelimit ACL condition. See NewStuff for details. Thanks to |
3850 | Mark Lowes for thorough testing. | |
870f6ba8 | 3851 | |
11d337a4 TK |
3852 | TK/02 Rewrote SPF support to work with libspf2 versions >1.2.0. |
3853 | ||
3854 | TK/03 Merged latest SRS patch from Miles Wilton. | |
3855 | ||
415c8f3b PH |
3856 | PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts |
3857 | with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier). | |
3858 | Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to | |
4c04137d | 3859 | preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were |
415c8f3b PH |
3860 | scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion, |
3861 | so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h. | |
11d337a4 | 3862 | |
958541e9 PH |
3863 | PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout |
3864 | in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single | |
3865 | write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write. | |
3866 | This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it | |
3867 | would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It | |
3868 | doesn't have to be particularly precise. | |
3869 | ||
c206415f TK |
3870 | TK/04 Added simple SPF lookup method in EXPERIMENTAL_SPF. See NewStuff for |
3871 | details. Thanks to Chris Webb <chris@arachsys.com> for the patch! | |
3872 | ||
2a4be8f9 PH |
3873 | PH/07 Added "fullpostmaster" verify option, which does a check to <postmaster> |
3874 | without a domain if the check to <postmaster@domain> fails. | |
3875 | ||
1cba11c5 SC |
3876 | SC/01 Eximstats: added -xls and the ability to specify output files |
3877 | (patch written by Frank Heydlauf). | |
3878 | ||
4c04137d | 3879 | SC/02 Eximstats: use FileHandles for outputting results. |
1cba11c5 SC |
3880 | |
3881 | SC/03 Eximstats: allow any combination of xls, txt, and html output. | |
3882 | ||
3883 | SC/04 Eximstats: fixed display of large numbers with -nvr option | |
3884 | ||
3885 | SC/05 Eximstats: fixed merging of reports with empty tables. | |
3886 | ||
3887 | SC/06 Eximstats: added the -include_original_destination flag | |
3888 | ||
3889 | SC/07 Eximstats: removed tabs and trailing whitespace. | |
3890 | ||
1005d00e TK |
3891 | TK/05 Malware: Improve on aveserver error handling. Patch from Alex Miller. |
3892 | ||
3893 | TK/06 MBOX spool code: Add real "From " MBOX separator line | |
3894 | so the .eml file is really in mbox format (even though | |
3895 | most programs do not really care). Patch from Alex Miller. | |
3896 | ||
3897 | TK/07 MBOX spool code: Add X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To: headers. | |
3898 | The latter is generated from $received_to and is only set if the | |
3899 | message has one envelope recipient. SA can use these headers, | |
3900 | obviously out-of-the-box. Patch from Alex Miller. | |
3901 | ||
9b4768fa PH |
3902 | PH/08 The ${def test on a variable was returning false if the variable's |
3903 | value was "0", contrary to what the specification has always said! | |
3904 | The result should be true unless the variable is empty. | |
3905 | ||
3906 | PH/09 The syntax error of a character other than { following "${if | |
3907 | def:variable_name" (after optional whitespace) was not being diagnosed. | |
3908 | An expansion such as ${if def:sender_ident:{xxx}{yyy}} in which an | |
3909 | accidental colon was present, for example, could give incorrect results. | |
3910 | ||
0d7eb84a PH |
3911 | PH/10 Tidied the code in a number of places where the st_size field of a stat() |
3912 | result is used (not including appendfile, where other changes are about | |
3913 | to be made). | |
3914 | ||
3915 | PH/11 Upgraded appendfile so that quotas larger than 2G are now supported. | |
3916 | This involved changing a lot of size variables from int to off_t. It | |
3917 | should work with maildirs and everything. | |
3918 | ||
40727bee TK |
3919 | TK/08 Apply fix provided by Michael Haardt to prevent deadlock in case of |
3920 | spamd dying while we are connected to it. | |
3921 | ||
554d2369 TF |
3922 | TF/05 Fixed a ${extract error message typo reported by Jeremy Harris |
3923 | <jgh@wizmail.org> | |
3924 | ||
1f922db1 PH |
3925 | PH/12 Applied Alex Kiernan's patch for the API change for the error callback |
3926 | function for BDB 4.3. | |
3927 | ||
ef213c3b PH |
3928 | PH/13 Changed auto_thaw such that it does not apply to bounce messages. |
3929 | ||
8ac170f3 PH |
3930 | PH/14 Imported PCRE 6.0; this was more than just a trivial operation because |
3931 | the sources for PCRE have been re-arranged and more files are now | |
3932 | involved. | |
3933 | ||
b1c749bb PH |
3934 | PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11 |
3935 | above was not the best (it lost precision). The length of off_t variables | |
3936 | is now inspected at build time, and an appropriate printing format (%ld | |
c6c2dc1d PH |
3937 | or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T |
3938 | to be "long long int" or "long int". This is needed for the internal | |
3939 | formatting function string_vformat(). | |
b1c749bb | 3940 | |
4aac9b49 PH |
3941 | PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in |
3942 | the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where | |
3943 | the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our | |
3944 | case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script | |
3945 | suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks | |
3946 | to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim | |
3947 | with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it | |
3948 | falls back to the previous guessing code." | |
3949 | ||
294520c8 TK |
3950 | TK/09 Added "prvs" and "prvscheck" expansion items. These help a lot with |
3951 | implementing BATV in an Exim configuration. See NewStuff for the gory | |
3952 | details. | |
3953 | ||
5bd022fe PH |
3954 | PH/17 Applied Michael Haardt's patch for HP-UX, affecting only the os.h and |
3955 | Makefile that are specific to HP-UX. | |
3956 | ||
90e9ce59 PH |
3957 | PH/18 If the "use_postmaster" option was set for a recipient callout together |
3958 | with the "random" option, the postmaster address was used as the MAIL | |
3959 | FROM address for the random test, but not for the subsequent recipient | |
3960 | test. It is now used for both. | |
3961 | ||
5ea81592 PH |
3962 | PH/19 Applied Michael Haardt's patch to update Sieve to RFC3028bis. "The |
3963 | patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the | |
3964 | latest draft now contains them. It adds the new en;ascii-case comparator | |
3965 | and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and | |
3966 | require names are now matched exactly. I enabled the subaddress | |
3967 | extension, but it is not well tested yet (read: it works for me)." | |
3968 | ||
c6c2dc1d PH |
3969 | PH/20 Added macros for time_t as for off_t (see PH/15 above) and used them to |
3970 | rework some of the code of TK/09 above to avoid the hardwired use of | |
3971 | "%lld" and "long long". Replaced the call to snprintf() with a call to | |
3972 | string_vformat(). | |
3973 | ||
fffffe4c PH |
3974 | PH/21 Added some other messages to those in 4.51/PH/42, namely "All relevant MX |
3975 | records point to non-existent hosts", "retry timeout exceeded", and | |
3976 | "retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period". | |
ca02eafb | 3977 | |
9a26b6b2 PH |
3978 | PH/22 Fixed some oversights/typos causing bugs when Exim is compiled with |
3979 | experimental DomainKeys support: | |
3980 | ||
3981 | (1) The filter variables $n0-$n9 and $sn0-$sn9 were broken. | |
3982 | (2) On an error such as an illegally used "control", the wrong name for | |
3983 | the control was given. | |
3984 | ||
3985 | These problems did NOT occur unless DomainKeys support was compiled. | |
3986 | ||
4aee0225 PH |
3987 | PH/23 Added daemon_startup_retries and daemon_startup_sleep. |
3988 | ||
32d668a5 PH |
3989 | PH/24 Added ${if match_ip condition. |
3990 | ||
8187c3f3 PH |
3991 | PH/25 Put debug statements on either side of calls to EXIM_DBOPEN() for hints |
3992 | databases so that it will be absolutely obvious if a crash occurs in the | |
3993 | DB library. This is a regular occurrence (often caused by mis-matched | |
3994 | db.h files). | |
3995 | ||
ff790e47 | 3996 | PH/26 Insert a lot of missing (void) casts for functions such as chown(), |
f1e894f3 PH |
3997 | chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were |
3998 | picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem | |
3999 | to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be | |
4000 | put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have | |
4001 | set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due | |
4002 | course. | |
ff790e47 | 4003 | |
5417f6d1 PH |
4004 | PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not |
4005 | specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a | |
4006 | router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to | |
4007 | read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it | |
4008 | just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was | |
4009 | introduced by 4.51/PH/31. | |
4010 | ||
59cf8544 PH |
4011 | PH/28 Changed -d+all to exclude +memory, because that information is very |
4012 | rarely of interest, but it makes the output a lot bigger. People tend to | |
4013 | do -d+all out of habit. | |
4014 | ||
e7ad8a65 PH |
4015 | PH/29 Removed support for the Linux-libc5 build, as it is obsolete and the |
4016 | code in os-type was giving problems when libc.so lives in lib64, like on | |
4017 | x86_64 Fedora Core. | |
4018 | ||
ade42478 PH |
4019 | PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These |
4020 | aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files | |
4021 | don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer | |
4022 | ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the | |
4023 | record types that Exim uses. | |
4024 | ||
182ad5cf PH |
4025 | PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was |
4026 | not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This | |
4027 | prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid | |
4028 | data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a | |
4029 | non-existent file that was broken. | |
4030 | ||
b0d9fc80 TK |
4031 | TK/10 Domainkeys: Fix a bug in verification that caused a crash in conjunction |
4032 | with a change in libdomainkeys > 0.64. | |
4033 | ||
4034 | TK/11 Domainkeys: Change the logic how the "testing" policy flag is retrieved | |
4035 | from DNS. If the selector record carries the flag, it now has | |
4036 | precedence over the domain-wide flag. | |
4037 | ||
4038 | TK/12 Cleared some compiler warnings related to SPF, SRS and DK code. | |
4039 | ||
47c7a64a PH |
4040 | PH/32 In mua_wrapper mode, if an smtp transport configuration error (such as |
4041 | the use of a port name that isn't defined in /etc/services) occurred, the | |
4042 | message was deferred as in a normal delivery, and thus remained on the | |
4043 | spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This | |
4044 | is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the | |
4045 | same time. | |
4046 | ||
a388bce4 SC |
4047 | SC/08 Eximstats: whilst parsing the mainlog(s), store information about |
4048 | the messages in a hash of arrays rather than using individual hashes. | |
4049 | This is a bit cleaner and results in dramatic memory savings, albeit | |
4050 | at a slight CPU cost. | |
4051 | ||
4052 | SC/09 Eximstats: added the -show_rt<list> and the -show_dt<list> flags | |
4053 | as requested by Marc Sherman. | |
4054 | ||
4055 | SC/10 Eximstats: added histograms for user specified patterns as requested | |
4056 | by Marc Sherman. | |
4057 | ||
0793e4ed SC |
4058 | SC/11 Eximstats: v1.43 - bugfix for pattern histograms with -h0 specified. |
4059 | ||
c58b88df PH |
4060 | PH/33 Patch from the Cygwin maintainer to add "b" to all occurences of |
4061 | fopen() in the content-scanning modules that did not already have it. | |
4062 | ||
e7ad8a65 | 4063 | |
7982096b PH |
4064 | Exim version 4.51 |
4065 | ----------------- | |
4066 | ||
1a46a8c5 PH |
4067 | TK/01 Added Yahoo DomainKeys support via libdomainkeys. See |
4068 | doc/experimental-spec.txt for details. (http://domainkeys.sf.net) | |
4069 | ||
2f079f46 | 4070 | TK/02 Fix ACL "control" statement not being available in MIME ACL. |
1a46a8c5 PH |
4071 | |
4072 | TK/03 Fix ACL "regex" condition not being available in MIME ACL. | |
4073 | ||
4074 | PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used | |
4075 | to test Sieve filters that use "vacation". | |
4076 | ||
4077 | PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch | |
4078 | that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file. | |
4079 | The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility, | |
4080 | if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an | |
4081 | old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This | |
4082 | means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the | |
4083 | file. | |
4084 | ||
4085 | PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not | |
4086 | work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the | |
4087 | parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried | |
4088 | again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of | |
4089 | these two options. | |
4090 | ||
4091 | PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are | |
4092 | redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog | |
4093 | entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to | |
4094 | consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for | |
4095 | "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an | |
4096 | address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under | |
4097 | certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same | |
c2c19e9d | 4098 | address. |
1a46a8c5 PH |
4099 | |
4100 | PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T | |
4101 | in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim. | |
4102 | ||
4103 | PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify = | |
4104 | header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash. | |
4105 | In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify = | |
4106 | reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are | |
4107 | supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_ | |
4108 | lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.) | |
4109 | ||
4110 | PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as | |
4111 | defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH | |
4112 | commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended | |
4113 | SMTP commands that take arguments. | |
4114 | ||
4115 | PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony | |
4116 | Finch). | |
4117 | ||
4118 | PH/09 Previously, an attempt to use ${perl when it wasn't compiled gave an | |
4119 | "unknown" error; now it says that the functionality isn't in the binary. | |
8d67ada3 | 4120 | |
49c2d5ea PH |
4121 | PH/10 Added a nasty fudge to try to recognize and flatten LDAP passwords in |
4122 | an address' error message when a string expansion fails (syntax or | |
f331f3b6 PH |
4123 | whatever). Otherwise the password may appear in the log. Following change |
4124 | PH/42 below, there is no longer a chance of it appearing in a bounce | |
4125 | message. | |
49c2d5ea | 4126 | |
bf759a8b PH |
4127 | PH/11 Installed exipick version 20050225.0 from John Jetmore. |
4128 | ||
83364d30 PH |
4129 | PH/12 If the last host in a fallback_hosts list was multihomed, only the first |
4130 | of its addresses was ever tried. (Bugzilla bug #2.) | |
4131 | ||
7999bbd7 PH |
4132 | PH/13 If "headers_add" in a transport didn't end in a newline, Exim printed |
4133 | the result incorrectly in the debug output. (It correctly added a newline | |
4134 | to what was transported.) | |
4135 | ||
7dbf77c9 PH |
4136 | TF/01 Added $received_time. |
4137 | ||
74e0617f PH |
4138 | PH/14 Modified the default configuration to add an acl_smtp_data ACL, with |
4139 | commented out examples of how to interface to a virus scanner and to | |
4140 | SpamAssassin. Also added commented examples of av_scanner and | |
4141 | spamd_address settings. | |
4142 | ||
2f079f46 PH |
4143 | PH/15 Further to TK/02 and TK/03 above, tidied up the tables of what conditions |
4144 | and controls are allowed in which ACLs. There were a couple of minor | |
4145 | errors. Some of the entries in the conditions table (which is a table of | |
4146 | where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a | |
4147 | negation of where the condition IS allowed. | |
4148 | ||
8c841523 PH |
4149 | PH/16 Installed updated OS/os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer. |
4150 | ||
7766a4f0 PH |
4151 | PH/17 The API for radiusclient changed at release 0.4.0. Unfortunately, the |
4152 | header file does not have a version number, so I've had to invent a new | |
4153 | value for RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, namely "RADIUSCLIENTNEW" to request the new | |
4154 | API. The code is untested by me (my Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of | |
4155 | radiusclient), but it was contributed by a Radius user. | |
4156 | ||
8b417f2c PH |
4157 | PH/18 Installed Lars Mainka's patch for the support of CRL collections in |
4158 | files or directories, for OpenSSL. | |
4159 | ||
901f42cb PH |
4160 | PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log |
4161 | file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the | |
4162 | ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see | |
4163 | the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this | |
4164 | fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited | |
4165 | for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources | |
4166 | run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check | |
4167 | for failure. | |
4168 | ||
f9b9210e PH |
4169 | PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing |
4170 | the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return | |
4171 | from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time, | |
4172 | the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty | |
4173 | string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1 | |
4174 | (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed. | |
4175 | There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after | |
4176 | "input=". | |
4177 | ||
54cdb463 PH |
4178 | PH/21 Added acl_not_smtp_mime to allow for MIME scanning for non-SMTP messages. |
4179 | ||
cf00dad6 PH |
4180 | PH/22 Added support for macro redefinition, and (re)definition in between |
4181 | driver and ACL definitions. | |
4182 | ||
acb1b346 PH |
4183 | PH/23 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was expanding server_hostname, but then |

4186 | PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it |
4187 | hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who | |
4188 | understands it better than I do: | |
4189 | ||
4190 | "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl | |
4191 | authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5): | |
4192 | ||
4193 | On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these. | |
4194 | This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list. | |
4195 | => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work | |
4196 | => three warnings about OTP not working | |
4197 | => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ... | |
4198 | ||
4199 | With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now | |
4200 | SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the | |
4201 | authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech() | |
4202 | gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different | |
4203 | for each call.) | |
4204 | => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or | |
4205 | nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech. | |
4206 | ||
4207 | I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine, | |
4208 | unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still | |
4209 | caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone." | |

4219 | PH/27 $acl_verify_message is now set immediately after the failure of a |
4220 | verification in an ACL, and so is available in subsequent modifiers. In | |
4221 | particular, the message can be preserved by coding like this: | |
4222 | ||
4223 | warn !verify = sender | |
4224 | set acl_m0 = $acl_verify_message | |
4225 | ||
4226 | Previously, $acl_verify_message was set only while expanding "message" | |

4237 | PH/29 Installed patch from the Sieve maintainer that adds the options |
4238 | sieve_useraddress and sieve_subaddress to the redirect router. | |

5ca2a9a1 PH |
4240 | PH/30 In these circumstances: |
4241 | . Two addresses routed to the same list of hosts; | |
4242 | . First host does not offer TLS; | |
4243 | . First host accepts first address; | |
4244 | . First host gives temporary error to second address; | |
4245 | . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established; | |
4246 | . Second host accepts second address. | |
4247 | Exim incorrectly logged both deliveries with the TLS parameters (cipher | |
4248 | and peerdn, if requested) that were in fact used only for the second | |
4249 | address. | |
7e8bec7a | 4250 | |
c688b954 PH |
4251 | PH/31 When doing a callout as part of verifying an address, Exim was not paying |
4252 | attention to any local part prefix or suffix that was matched by the | |
4253 | router that accepted the address. It now behaves in the same way as it | |
4254 | does for delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless | |
4255 | rcpt_include_affixes is set on the transport. | |

ebb6e6d5 PH |
4263 | PH/34 Change 4.50/80 broke Exim in that it could no longer handle cases where |
4264 | the uid or gid is negative. A case of a negative gid caused this to be | |
4265 | noticed. The fix allows for either to be negative. | |
4266 | ||

4267 | PH/35 ACL_WHERE_MIME is now declared unconditionally, to avoid too much code |
4268 | clutter, but the tables that are indexed by ACL_WHERE_xxx values had been | |
4269 | overlooked. | |
4270 | ||
4271 | PH/36 The change PH/12 above was broken. Fixed it. | |
4272 | ||
d7174846 PH |
4273 | PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on |
4274 | the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the | |
4275 | same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no | |
4276 | longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous | |
4277 | routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies | |
4278 | went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's | |
4279 | behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given. | |
4280 | ||
4281 | I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete. | |
4282 | Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote | |
4283 | transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be | |
4284 | done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are | |
4285 | presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance. | |
4286 | ||
4287 | For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking | |
4288 | still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be | |
4289 | routed further. | |
4290 | ||
cfe75fc3 PH |
4291 | PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner. |
4292 | It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The | |
4293 | background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a | |
4294 | connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan | |
4295 | spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it | |
4296 | blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out." | |

4301 | binary zeroes or newlines because the value is written to log lines and | |
4302 | to spool files. There was no check on this. Now the value is run through | |

4310 | PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in |
4311 | bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which | |
4312 | are as follows: | |
4313 | ||
4314 | (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host; | |
4315 | (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection; | |
4316 | (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter; | |
4317 | (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router; | |
4318 | (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option. | |
4319 | ||
4320 | In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and | |
4321 | warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such | |
4322 | as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given. | |

2e2a30b4 PH |
4330 | PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe |
4331 | process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while | |
4332 | writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a | |
4333 | successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For | |
4334 | consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now | |
4335 | treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However, | |
4336 | there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called | |
4337 | timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for | |
4338 | both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in | |
4339 | the log output. | |

4344 | from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of | |
4345 | "make". | |

4348 | A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50 |
4349 | ---------------------------------------- | |
4350 | ||
4351 | Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of | |
4352 | changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was | |
4353 | needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially | |
4354 | in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes | |
4355 | that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance | |
4356 | release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start | |
4357 | from 4.43. | |
4358 | ||
4359 | I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since | |
4360 | 4.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to | |
4361 | those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the | |
4362 | historical information. | |
4363 | ||
4364 | ||
f7b63901 | 4365 | Exim version 4.50 |
495ae4b0 PH |
4366 | ----------------- |
4367 | ||
5fe762f6 PH |
4368 | 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file. |
4369 | ||
139059f6 | 4370 | 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the |
5fe762f6 | 4371 | computation of the current number of files was incorrect. |
495ae4b0 | 4372 | |
7086e875 PH |
4373 | 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The |
4374 | bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in | |
4375 | place. | |
4376 | ||
35af9f61 PH |
4377 | 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport |
4378 | filter fails to execute. | |
4379 | ||
b668c215 PH |
4380 | 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a |
4381 | subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This | |
4382 | was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is | |
4383 | now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport | |
4384 | filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports. | |
4385 | ||
a494b1e1 PH |
4386 | 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option. |
4387 | ||
4388 | 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file | |
4389 | descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value | |
4390 | unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these | |
4391 | systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256. | |
35edf2ff | 4392 | |
c5fcb476 PH |
4393 | 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This |
4394 | was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra | |
4395 | controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of | |
4396 | "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a | |
4397 | control that does not make sense is encountered. | |
4398 | ||
69358f02 PH |
4399 | 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission". |
4400 | ||
5be20824 PH |
4401 | 10. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight). |
4402 | ||
eb2c0248 PH |
4403 | 11. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message |
4404 | received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup | |
4405 | failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a | |
4406 | cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on. | |
4407 | ||
2a3eea10 PH |
4408 | 12. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value |
4409 | of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the | |
4410 | sender verification. | |
4411 | ||
4412 | 13. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in | |
4413 | $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement. | |
4414 | ||
23c7ff99 PH |
4415 | 14. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router. |
4416 | ||
4deaf07d PH |
4417 | 15. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different |
4418 | connection timeout. | |
4419 | ||
926e1192 PH |
4420 | 16. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0 |
4421 | was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.) | |
4422 | ||
650edc6f PH |
4423 | 17. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from |
4424 | the spool by the -Mrm option. | |
4425 | ||
2c7db3f5 PH |
4426 | 18. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain |
4427 | information about exactly what failed. | |
4428 | ||
3d235903 PH |
4429 | 19. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process. |
4430 | ||
7c7ad977 PH |
4431 | 20. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it |
4432 | handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the | |
4433 | CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility). | |
4434 | ||
981756db PH |
4435 | 21. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp". |
4436 | It is now set to "smtps". | |
4437 | ||
d4eb88df PH |
4438 | 22. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of |
4439 | ignore_target_hosts. | |
4440 | ||
4441 | 23. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was | |
4442 | being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if | |
4443 | matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely, | |
4444 | since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as | |
4445 | "[x.x.x.x]". | |
4446 | ||
7d468ab8 PH |
4447 | 24. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the |
4448 | code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in | |
4449 | modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug. | |
4450 | ||
4451 | 25. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore | |
4452 | SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to | |
4453 | wake it up if nothing else does. | |
4454 | ||
62c0818f PH |
4455 | 26. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values |
4456 | for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result. | |
4457 | The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount | |
4458 | end up negative. | |
4459 | ||
26034054 PH |
4460 | 27. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this |
4461 | support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H. | |
4462 | ||
af66f652 PH |
4463 | 28. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore. |
4464 | ||
90af77f4 PH |
4465 | 29. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty |
4466 | subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an | |
4467 | empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong | |
4468 | because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a | |
4469 | database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are | |
4470 | lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to | |
4471 | contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty | |
4472 | address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty. | |
4473 | ||
d8ef3577 PH |
4474 | 30. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the |
4475 | host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more | |
4476 | than one IP address. | |
4477 | ||
5cb8cbc6 PH |
4478 | 31. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a |
4479 | function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former | |
4480 | is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space, | |
4481 | $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes. | |
4482 | ||
14702f5b PH |
4483 | 32. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings |
4484 | such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for | |
4485 | encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and | |
4486 | generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I | |
4487 | have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from | |
4488 | 1024 to 2048 bytes. | |
4489 | ||
063b1e99 PH |
4490 | 33. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the |
4491 | condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string | |
4492 | is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less | |
4493 | cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions. | |
4494 | ||
652e1b65 PH |
4495 | 34. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if |
4496 | there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now | |
4497 | respected. | |
4498 | ||
6f0c9a4f PH |
4499 | 35. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the |
4500 | canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in | |
4501 | $sender_host_address. | |
4502 | ||
33397d19 PH |
4503 | 36. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to |
4504 | "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible | |
4505 | that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up | |
4506 | for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's | |
4507 | per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems | |
4508 | very small. | |
4509 | ||
7bb56e1f PH |
4510 | 37. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways. |
4511 | ||
4512 | (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it | |
4513 | finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care. | |
4514 | ||
ea3bc19b PH |
4515 | (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns |
4516 | just the host names, not the priorities. | |
4517 | ||
4518 | (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be | |
ff4dbb19 PH |
4519 | looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be |
4520 | controlled by a keyword. | |
7bb56e1f | 4521 | |
ea3bc19b | 4522 | (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when |
7bb56e1f | 4523 | multiple records are returned. |
33397d19 | 4524 | |
0bcb2a0e PH |
4525 | 38. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply |
4526 | a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS | |
4527 | domain. | |
4528 | ||
2ac0e484 PH |
4529 | 39. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall. |
4530 | ||
4e1fde53 PH |
4531 | 40. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a |
4532 | delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output. | |
4533 | ||
de365ded PH |
4534 | 41. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails |
4535 | to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name | |
4536 | of the failing file when there is a problem reading it. | |
4537 | ||
f05da2e8 PH |
4538 | 42. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run. |

4540 | 43. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity. |
4541 | ||
f7b63901 PH |
4542 | 44. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source. |
4543 | ||
4544 | 45. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get | |
4545 | transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active | |
4546 | < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the | |
4547 | introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare | |
4548 | because the tests only now provoked it. | |
4549 | ||
a444213a PH |
4550 | 46. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed |
4551 | (this can affect the format of dates). | |
4552 | ||
0ec020ea PH |
4553 | 47. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for |
4554 | which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding | |
4555 | messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was | |
4556 | deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence. | |
4557 | ||
b1206957 PH |
4558 | 48. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats. |
4559 | ||
4560 | 49. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving | |
4561 | on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail, | |
4562 | contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it | |
4563 | was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified. | |
4564 | ||
26dd5a95 PH |
4565 | 50. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal |
4566 | (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256, | |
4567 | AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128. | |
4568 | ||
343b2385 PH |
4569 | 51. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an |
4570 | autoreply. | |
4571 | ||
1c5466b9 PH |
4572 | 52. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be |
4573 | recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back | |
4574 | as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by | |
4575 | increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that | |
4576 | happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I | |
4577 | have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what | |
4578 | is going on). | |
4579 | ||
55ee9ee3 PH |
4580 | 53. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if |
4581 | the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep | |
4582 | was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in | |
4583 | the line. | |
4584 | ||
d38f8232 PH |
4585 | 54. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A |
4586 | patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to | |
4587 | create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote: | |
4588 | ||
4589 | "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with | |
4590 | Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one | |
4591 | Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code | |
4592 | of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. | |
4593 | But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result, | |
4594 | so I produce this patch..." | |
4595 | ||
3295e65b PH |
4596 | Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ |
4597 | REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro | |
4598 | is not defined. | |
4599 | ||
7102e136 PH |
4600 | 55. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The |
4601 | keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The | |
b975ba52 PH |
4602 | dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it |
4603 | leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses. | |
ea3a6f44 | 4604 | CAN-2005-0021 |
7102e136 | 4605 | |
3ca0ba97 PH |
4606 | 56. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP. |
4607 | ||
c2bcbe20 PH |
4608 | 57. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very |
4609 | long debug lines gets shown. | |
4610 | ||
18ce445d PH |
4611 | 58. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep |
4612 | exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02... | |
4613 | ||
1f5b4c3d PH |
4614 | 59. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option: |
4615 | ||
4616 | (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable. | |
4617 | (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead | |
4618 | of $primary_hostname. | |
4619 | ||
b975ba52 PH |
4620 | 60. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known |
4621 | to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was | |
4622 | not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies | |
4623 | if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked | |
85b87bc2 PH |
4624 | from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8 |
4625 | components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed | |
4626 | by change 4.50/55 above. | |
4627 | ||
4628 | If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton() | |
4629 | itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that | |
4630 | data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as | |
4631 | exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could | |
4632 | find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is | |
4633 | running as the user. | |
ea3a6f44 | 4634 | CAN-2005-0021 |
85b87bc2 PH |
4635 | |
4636 | 61. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code | |
4637 | (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the | |
4638 | spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it. | |
ea3a6f44 | 4639 | CAN-2005-0022 |
b975ba52 | 4640 | |
17ffcae7 PH |
4641 | 62. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and |
4642 | os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD. | |
4643 | ||
d95f9fdb PH |
4644 | 63. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that |
4645 | need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when | |
4646 | deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is | |
4647 | necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec | |
4648 | when deliver_drop_privilege is set. | |
4649 | ||
86b8287f PH |
4650 | 64. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs. |
4651 | This has been fixed. | |
4652 | ||
60dc5e56 PH |
4653 | 65. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list |
4654 | was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool; | |
4655 | consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same | |
4656 | SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked | |
4657 | the caching.) | |
4658 | ||
533244af PH |
4659 | 66. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50. |
4660 | ||
a5a28604 PH |
4661 | 67. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP |
4662 | address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of | |
4663 | the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to | |
4664 | work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code. | |
4665 | ||
7e634d24 PH |
4666 | 68. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those |
4667 | with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly. | |
4668 | ||
3e11c26b PH |
4669 | 69. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with |
4670 | negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers | |
4671 | apparently mutter when there is no cast. | |
4672 | ||
6729cf78 PH |
4673 | 70. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a |
4674 | user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was | |
4675 | put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system | |
4676 | message there. | |
4677 | ||
00f00ca5 PH |
4678 | 71. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP |
4679 | session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except | |
4680 | that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does. | |
4681 | ||
c9bdd01c PH |
4682 | 72. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command. |
4683 | This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization | |
4684 | error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization | |
4685 | check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout. | |
4686 | ||
d43194df PH |
4687 | 73. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs |
4688 | during host lookups. | |
4689 | ||
fe5b5d0b PH |
4690 | 74. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used |
4691 | when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case: | |
4692 | ||
4693 | verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok | |
4694 | ||
76a2d7ba PH |
4695 | 75. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that |
4696 | those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything | |
4697 | wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it | |
4698 | could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens | |
4699 | stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the | |
4700 | background. | |
4701 | ||
4702 | 76. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main | |
4703 | log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic. | |
4704 | ||
04f7d5b9 PH |
4705 | 77. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to |
4706 | the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or | |
4707 | for the non-SMTP ACL. | |
4708 | ||
bc60667e PH |
4709 | 78. Error message wording change in sieve.c. |
4710 | ||
bb6e88ff PH |
4711 | 79. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be |
4712 | restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up | |
4713 | a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous | |
4714 | connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done | |
4715 | earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something | |
4716 | else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed | |
4717 | process earlier. | |
4718 | ||
1e70f85b PH |
4719 | 80. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one |
4720 | or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable. | |
4721 | It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A | |
4722 | related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became | |
4723 | illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part. | |
4724 | ||
4725 | 81. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top | |
4726 | tables). | |
4727 | ||
4e01f9d6 PH |
4728 | 82. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith. |
4729 | ||
1ee1cef2 PH |
4730 | 83. Patch from Sieve maintainer to fix unterminated string problem in |
4731 | "vacation" handling. | |
4732 | ||
6e2b4ccc PH |
4733 | 84. Some minor changes to the Linux configuration files to help with other |
4734 | OS variants using glibc. | |
4735 | ||
8e669ac1 PH |
4736 | 85. One more patch for Sieve to update vacation handling to latest spec. |

4739 | ---------------------------------------------------- |
4740 | See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases. | |
4741 | ---------------------------------------------------- | |
4742 | ||
4743 | ||
4744 | Exim version 4.44 | |
4745 | ----------------- | |
4746 | ||
4747 | 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be | |
4748 | incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile | |
4749 | transport | |
4750 | ||
4751 | 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The | |
4752 | bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in | |
4753 | place. | |
4754 | ||
4755 | 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport | |
4756 | filter fails to execute. | |
4757 | ||
4758 | 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a | |
4759 | subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This | |
4760 | was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is | |
4761 | now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport | |
4762 | filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports. | |
4763 | ||
4764 | 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file | |
4765 | descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value | |
4766 | unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these | |
4767 | systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256. | |
4768 | ||
4769 | 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This | |
4770 | was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra | |
4771 | controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of | |
4772 | "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a | |
4773 | control that does not make sense is encountered. | |
4774 | ||
4775 | 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight). | |
4776 | ||
4777 | 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message | |
4778 | received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup | |
4779 | failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a | |
4780 | cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on. | |
4781 | ||
4782 | 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value | |
4783 | of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the | |
4784 | sender verification. | |
4785 | ||
4786 | 10. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0 | |
4787 | was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.) | |
4788 | ||
4789 | 11. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from | |
4790 | the spool by the -Mrm option. | |
4791 | ||
4792 | 12. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of | |
4793 | ignore_target_hosts. | |
4794 | ||
4795 | 13. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was | |
4796 | being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if | |
4797 | matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely, | |
4798 | since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as | |
4799 | "[x.x.x.x]". | |
4800 | ||
4801 | 14. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the | |
4802 | code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in | |
4803 | modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug. | |
4804 | ||
4805 | 15. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore | |
4806 | SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to | |
4807 | wake it up if nothing else does. | |
4808 | ||
4809 | 16. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values | |
4810 | for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result. | |
4811 | The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount | |
4812 | end up negative. | |
4813 | ||
4814 | 17. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this | |
4815 | support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H. | |
4816 | ||
ea3a6f44 | 4817 | 18. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore. |
bbe902f0 PH |
4818 | |
4819 | 19. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list. | |
4820 | Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an | |
4821 | empty pattern. | |
4822 | ||
4823 | 20. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the | |
4824 | host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than | |
4825 | one IP address. | |
4826 | ||
ea3a6f44 NM |
4827 | 21. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings |
4828 | such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for | |
4829 | encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and | |
4830 | generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I | |
4831 | have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from | |
4832 | 1024 to 2048 bytes. | |
bbe902f0 | 4833 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4834 | 22. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if |
4835 | there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now | |
4836 | respected. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4837 | |
4838 | 23. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the | |
4839 | canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in | |
4840 | $sender_host_address. | |
4841 | ||
4842 | 24. Updated eximstats to version 1.33 | |
4843 | ||
ea3a6f44 NM |
4844 | 25. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails |
4845 | to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name | |
4846 | of the failing file when there is a problem reading it. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4847 | |
4848 | 26. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files. | |
ea3a6f44 | 4849 | As per change 25. |
bbe902f0 | 4850 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4851 | 27. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed |
4852 | (this can affect the format of dates). | |
bbe902f0 | 4853 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4854 | 28. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for |
4855 | which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding | |
4856 | messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was | |
4857 | deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4858 | |
4859 | 29. eximstats updated to version 1.35 | |
4860 | 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines | |
4861 | 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly | |
4862 | ||
ea3a6f44 NM |
4863 | 30. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving |
4864 | on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail, | |
4865 | contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it | |
4866 | was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified. | |
bbe902f0 | 4867 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4868 | 31. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal |
4869 | (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256, | |
4870 | AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128. | |
bbe902f0 | 4871 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4872 | 31. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an |
4873 | autoreply. | |
bbe902f0 | 4874 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4875 | 32. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be |
4876 | recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back | |
4877 | as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by | |
4878 | increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that | |
4879 | happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I | |
4880 | have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what | |
4881 | is going on). | |
bbe902f0 | 4882 | |
ea3a6f44 NM |
4883 | 33. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The |
4884 | keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The | |
4885 | dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it | |
4886 | leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses. | |
bbe902f0 PH |
4887 | CAN-2005-0021 |
4888 | ||

4889 | 34. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known |
4890 | to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was | |
4891 | not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies | |
4892 | if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked | |
4893 | from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8 | |
4894 | components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed | |
4895 | by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above. | |
4896 | ||
4897 | If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton() | |
4898 | itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that | |
4899 | data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as | |
4900 | exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could | |
4901 | find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is | |
4902 | running as the user. | |

4905 | 35. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code |
4906 | (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the | |
4907 | spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it. | |

4910 | 36. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that |
4911 | need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when | |
4912 | deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is | |
4913 | necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec | |
4914 | when deliver_drop_privilege is set. | |

4916 | 37. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list |
4917 | was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool; | |
4918 | consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same | |
4919 | SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked | |
4920 | the caching.) | |

4922 | 38. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get |
4923 | transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active | |
4924 | < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the | |
4925 | introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare | |
4926 | because the tests only now provoked it. | |

4929 | Exim version 4.43 |
4930 | ----------------- | |
4931 | ||
4932 | 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before | |
4933 | PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE. | |
4934 | Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F | |
4935 | return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations, | |
4936 | which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write | |
4937 | failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending | |
4938 | messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts. | |
4939 | ||
4940 | 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted | |
4941 | message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing | |
4942 | the delivery. | |
4943 | ||
4944 | 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option. | |
4945 | ||
4946 | 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router. | |
4947 | ||
4948 | 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(), | |
4949 | header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them | |
4950 | to local_scan(). | |
4951 | ||
4952 | 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already | |
4953 | inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it | |
4954 | was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if | |
4955 | there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could | |
4956 | be inserted if Exim was badly configured. | |
4957 | ||
4958 | 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all | |
4959 | the Received: headers, as well as at the end. | |
4960 | ||
4961 | 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code. | |
4962 | ||
4963 | 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option. | |
4964 | ||
4965 | 10. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify= | |
4966 | header_sender only. | |
4967 | ||
4968 | 11. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors | |
4969 | (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}). | |
4970 | ||
4971 | 12. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer | |
4972 | differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly | |
4973 | affecting debugging statements). | |
4974 | ||
4975 | 13. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded). | |
4976 | ||
4977 | 14. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the | |
4978 | same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the | |
4979 | same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message | |
4980 | remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner | |
4981 | would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but | |
4982 | after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then | |
4983 | bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error; | |
4984 | in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick | |
4985 | after the received time, and all would be well. | |
4986 | ||
4987 | 15. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not | |
4988 | being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain | |
4989 | condition in an expansion string. | |
4990 | ||
4991 | 16. Added the ${str2b64: operator. | |
4992 | ||
4993 | 17. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of | |
4994 | processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already | |
4995 | adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore, | |
4996 | errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are | |
4997 | logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its | |
4998 | job under whatever limits there are. | |
4999 | ||
5000 | 18. Imported PCRE 5.0. | |
5001 | ||
5002 | 19. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading | |
5003 | space). | |
5004 | ||
5005 | 20. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was | |
5006 | redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed | |
5007 | that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this | |
5008 | case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no | |
5009 | return path is set. | |
5010 | ||
5011 | 21. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading | |
5012 | a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge | |
5013 | string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for | |
5014 | binary data in such strings. | |
5015 | ||
5016 | 22. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM). | |
5017 | ||
5018 | 23. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the | |
5019 | uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default | |
5020 | setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final | |
5021 | failure, which is pointless. | |
5022 | ||
5023 | 24. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports. | |
5024 | ||
5025 | 25. Implemented acl_smtp_predata. | |
5026 | ||
5027 | 26. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the | |
5028 | authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or | |
5029 | Sender: header lines. | |
5030 | ||
5031 | 27. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added | |
5032 | definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename, | |
5033 | chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin. | |
5034 | ||
5035 | 28. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it | |
5036 | does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for | |
5037 | long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog | |
5038 | errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems | |
5039 | much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now | |
5040 | happens. | |
5041 | ||
5042 | 29. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it | |
5043 | has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is | |
5044 | so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However, | |
5045 | there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write | |
5046 | log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards. | |
5047 | ||
5048 | 30. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote | |
5049 | delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of | |
5050 | the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to | |
5051 | 1024. | |
5052 | ||
5053 | 31. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a | |
5054 | specific sender, in particular, an empty sender. | |
5055 | ||
5056 | 32. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes | |
5057 | it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced. | |
5058 | ||
5059 | 33. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part". | |
5060 | ||
5061 | 32. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog. | |
5062 | ||
5063 | 33. Added an ACL for QUIT. | |
5064 | ||
5065 | 34. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a | |
5066 | syntax error. | |
5067 | ||
5068 | 35. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile. | |
5069 | ||
5070 | 36. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs. | |
5071 | ||
5072 | 37. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick | |
5073 | in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such | |
5074 | that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond | |
5075 | fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less). | |
5076 | ||
5077 | 38. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on | |
5078 | FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported). | |
5079 | ||
5080 | ||
5081 | Exim version 4.42 | |
5082 | ----------------- | |
5083 | ||
5084 | 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the | |
5085 | quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically: | |
5086 | (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace, | |
5087 | it was not quoted. | |
5088 | (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e. | |
5089 | tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted. | |
5090 | This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a | |
5091 | separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix | |
5092 | should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but | |
5093 | since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code. | |
5094 | ||
5095 | 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no | |
5096 | reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout | |
5097 | verification failure". | |
5098 | ||
5099 | 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long | |
5100 | return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby | |
5101 | overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I | |
5102 | have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this). | |
5103 | ||
5104 | 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives | |
5105 | when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim | |
5106 | restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout. | |
5107 | This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron | |
5108 | job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select() | |
5109 | timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never | |
5110 | kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the | |
5111 | time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call | |
5112 | to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is | |
5113 | treated as a timeout. | |
5114 | ||
5115 | 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve | |
5116 | extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a | |
5117 | separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is | |
5118 | not set for Exim filters). | |
5119 | ||
5120 | 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the | |
5121 | local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not | |
5122 | quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @. | |
5123 | ||
5124 | 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files. | |
5125 | ||
5126 | 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to | |
5127 | try to make them clearer. | |
5128 | ||
5129 | 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when | |
5130 | verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using | |
5131 | ||
5132 | verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache | |
5133 | ||
5134 | the cache was (incorrectly) being used. | |
5135 | ||
5136 | 10. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects | |
5137 | only the Cygwin environment. | |
5138 | ||
5139 | 11. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote | |
5140 | addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel | |
5141 | remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged. | |
5142 | (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from | |
5143 | the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.) | |
5144 | ||
5145 | 12. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header | |
5146 | lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol" | |
5147 | field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any | |
5148 | indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and | |
5149 | uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is | |
5150 | encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These | |
5151 | names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines. | |
5152 | ||
5153 | 13. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation" | |
5154 | extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs. | |
5155 | ||
5156 | 14. Changes to the "personal" filter test: | |
5157 | ||
5158 | (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of | |
5159 | "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was | |
5160 | anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for | |
5161 | ||
5162 | To: susanne@some.where | |
5163 | ||
5164 | This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn, | |
5165 | and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal" | |
5166 | are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts | |
5167 | of addresses in From: header lines). | |
5168 | ||
5169 | (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been | |
5170 | extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*", | |
5171 | taken from the Sieve specification recommendations. | |
5172 | ||
5173 | (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is | |
5174 | treated as non-personal. | |
5175 | ||
5176 | (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed | |
5177 | because it now seems ill-conceived. | |
5178 | ||
5179 | 15. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected. | |
5180 | ||
5181 | 16. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore. | |
5182 | ||
5183 | 17. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for | |
5184 | string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use | |
5185 | of string_sprintf() is now avoided. | |
5186 | ||
5187 | 18. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA | |
5188 | ACL and the local_scan() function. | |
5189 | ||
5190 | 19. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for | |
5191 | the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was | |
5192 | specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The | |
5193 | default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK | |
5194 | (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug | |
5195 | (I found it when inspecting the code). | |
5196 | ||
5197 | 20. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It | |
5198 | defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP | |
5199 | commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more | |
5200 | than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the | |
5201 | next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of | |
5202 | hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing | |
5203 | out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an | |
5204 | additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example: | |
5205 | ||
5206 | verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s | |
5207 | ||
5208 | 21. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks | |
5209 | to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer). | |
5210 | ||
5211 | 22. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and | |
5212 | subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its | |
5213 | memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO. | |
5214 | ||
5215 | 23. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now | |
5216 | records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not. | |
5217 | ||
5218 | 24. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being | |
5219 | formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int | |
5220 | rather than long int. | |
5221 | ||
5222 | 25. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer. | |
5223 | ||
5224 | 26. Added the never_mail option to autoreply. | |
5225 | ||
5226 | ||
5227 | Exim version 4.41 | |
5228 | ----------------- | |
5229 | ||
5230 | 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon | |
5231 | crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is | |
5232 | closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the | |
5233 | order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write | |
5234 | to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has | |
5235 | been fixed by making things happen in the correct order. | |
5236 | ||
5237 | ||
5238 | Exim version 4.40 | |
5239 | ----------------- | |
5240 | ||
5241 | 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed | |
5242 | before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response. | |
5243 | ||
5244 | 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for | |
5245 | some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where | |
5246 | socklen_t is defined. | |
5247 | ||
5248 | 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they | |
5249 | always exist. | |
5250 | ||
5251 | 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not | |
5252 | configured. | |
5253 | ||
5254 | 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so | |
5255 | that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub- | |
5256 | expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if | |
5257 | the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when | |
5258 | it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example). | |
5259 | ||
5260 | 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate | |
5261 | store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are | |
5262 | flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings. | |
5263 | This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources. | |
5264 | ||
5265 | 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount | |
5266 | of flapping under certain conditions. | |
5267 | ||
5268 | 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now | |
5269 | it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log | |
5270 | lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines. | |
5271 | ||
5272 | 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file. | |
5273 | ||
5274 | 10. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin. | |
5275 | ||
5276 | 11. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value | |
5277 | could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a | |
5278 | new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for | |
5279 | the duration of the SMTP connection. | |
5280 | ||
5281 | 12. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line | |
5282 | contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it | |
5283 | did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values | |
5284 | of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient | |
5285 | addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for | |
5286 | non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being | |
5287 | preserved with the message after it was received. | |
5288 | ||
5289 | 13. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log | |
5290 | "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of | |
5291 | the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different | |
5292 | strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated | |
5293 | its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my | |
5294 | test suite worked just fine. | |
5295 | ||
5296 | 14. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This | |
5297 | doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my", | |
5298 | which in any case is probably the better facility to use. | |
5299 | ||
5300 | 15. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating | |
5301 | error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format | |
5302 | string. | |
5303 | ||
5304 | 16. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased | |
5305 | from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups | |
5306 | for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it | |
5307 | does not fully solve it. | |
5308 | ||
5309 | 17. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the | |
5310 | buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same | |
5311 | action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases. | |
5312 | Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen; | |
5313 | sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed". | |
5314 | ||
5315 | 18. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was | |
5316 | using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process | |
5317 | crashed while trying to generate an error log message. | |
5318 | ||
5319 | 19. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single | |
5320 | string, for example: | |
5321 | ||
5322 | warn message = H1: something\nH2: something | |
5323 | ||
5324 | the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view | |
5325 | though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the | |
5326 | second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been | |
5327 | fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way, | |
5328 | the routers could not see them. | |
5329 | ||
5330 | 20. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to | |
5331 | suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list. | |
5332 | ||
5333 | 21. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in | |
5334 | ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is | |
5335 | output). | |
5336 | ||
5337 | 22. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in | |
5338 | particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building | |
5339 | a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused | |
5340 | incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character | |
5341 | that needed quoting. | |
5342 | ||
5343 | 23. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item | |
5344 | was not being matched caselessly. | |
5345 | ||
5346 | 24. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with | |
5347 | backslashes. | |
5348 | ||
5349 | 25. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job | |
5350 | properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include | |
5351 | the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more | |
5352 | callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key | |
5353 | when use_sender is false. | |
5354 | ||
5355 | 26. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs. | |
5356 | ||
5357 | 27. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers. | |
5358 | ||
5359 | 28. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records. | |
5360 | ||
5361 | 29. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for | |
5362 | the configuration file. | |
5363 | ||
5364 | 30. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose | |
5365 | (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible. | |
5366 | ||
5367 | 31. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts. | |
5368 | ||
5369 | 32. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero | |
5370 | bytes in the message body. | |
5371 | ||
5372 | 33. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the | |
5373 | "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir | |
5374 | delivery. | |
5375 | ||
5376 | 34. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei. | |
5377 | ||
5378 | 35. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists. | |
5379 | ||
5380 | 36. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if | |
5381 | IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6 | |
5382 | address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded | |
5383 | into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with | |
5384 | another IP address. | |
5385 | ||
5386 | ||
5387 | Exim version 4.34 | |
5388 | ----------------- | |
5389 | ||
5390 | 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of | |
5391 | hosts" instead of "hostlist". | |
5392 | ||
5393 | 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified | |
5394 | address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the | |
5395 | name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer | |
5396 | overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete | |
5397 | code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it! | |
5398 | ||
5399 | 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce | |
5400 | message to get a bit more predictability in the log output. | |
5401 | ||
5402 | 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In | |
5403 | theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_ | |
5404 | per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection. | |
5405 | ||
5406 | 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a | |
5407 | lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router | |
5408 | "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data. | |
5409 | ||
5410 | 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test | |
5411 | for routers. | |
5412 | ||
5413 | 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused | |
5414 | problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using | |
5415 | local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they | |
5416 | were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion). | |
5417 | I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the | |
5418 | body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they | |
5419 | are run, the timestamp in the header is updated. | |
5420 | ||
5421 | ||
5422 | Exim version 4.33 | |
5423 | ----------------- | |
5424 | ||
5425 | 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled | |
5426 | before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when | |
5427 | deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The | |
5428 | effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused | |
5429 | crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its | |
5430 | default (and expected) setting. | |
5431 | ||
5432 | 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming | |
5433 | message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root. | |
5434 | The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up | |
5435 | of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent. | |
5436 | ||
5437 | 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored | |
5438 | for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation. | |
5439 | ||
5440 | 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary | |
5441 | in domain lists. | |
5442 | ||
5443 | 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that | |
5444 | operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <> | |
5445 | for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original | |
5446 | (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it | |
5447 | wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the | |
5448 | sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten. | |
5449 | ||
5450 | 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router. | |
5451 | This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches | |
5452 | ignore_target_hosts, the router declines. | |
5453 | ||
5454 | 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_ | |
5455 | part (NOT match_host). | |
5456 | ||
5457 | 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set. | |
5458 | ||
5459 | 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race | |
5460 | condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The | |
5461 | issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed | |
5462 | after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock, | |
5463 | there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also | |
5464 | acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file | |
5465 | at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it | |
5466 | checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to | |
5467 | the same named file. | |
5468 | ||
5469 | 10. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes. | |
5470 | It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted | |
5471 | when Exim is built. | |
5472 | ||
5473 | 11. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made | |
5474 | to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is | |
5475 | not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses | |
5476 | that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain | |
5477 | a host name. | |
5478 | ||
5479 | 12. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup | |
5480 | defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is | |
5481 | processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted. | |
5482 | ||
5483 | 13. Added the iplsearch lookup type. | |
5484 | ||
5485 | 14. Added ident_timeout as a log selector. | |
5486 | ||
5487 | 15. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector. | |
5488 | ||
5489 | 16. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport | |
5490 | option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections. | |
5491 | ||
5492 | 17. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing | |
5493 | in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list | |
5494 | before starting the TLS session. | |
5495 | ||
5496 | 18. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output. | |
5497 | ||
5498 | 19. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when | |
5499 | bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines. | |
5500 | ||
5501 | 20. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included | |
5502 | a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the | |
5503 | first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a | |
5504 | colon in the middle). | |
5505 | ||
5506 | ||
5507 | Exim version 4.32 | |
5508 | ----------------- | |
5509 | ||
5510 | 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier | |
5511 | to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when | |
5512 | multiple configurations are in use. | |
5513 | ||
5514 | 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was | |
5515 | an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a | |
5516 | message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message | |
5517 | and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of | |
5518 | the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and | |
5519 | patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6. | |
5520 | ||
5521 | 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during | |
5522 | delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used. | |
5523 | ||
5524 | 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set | |
5525 | an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now | |
5526 | treated in the same way as a connect() failure. | |
5527 | ||
5528 | 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion | |
5529 | that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer | |
5530 | occurs. | |
5531 | ||
5532 | 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines | |
5533 | that used bh_ and bheader_. | |
5534 | ||
5535 | 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists. | |
5536 | ||
5537 | 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was | |
5538 | allowing one more file than it should have been. | |
5539 | ||
5540 | 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option | |
5541 | ||
5542 | -prval:sval | |
5543 | ||
5544 | is equivalent to | |
5545 | ||
5546 | -oMr rval -oMs sval | |
5547 | ||
5548 | and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The | |
5549 | host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set. | |
5550 | Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to | |
5551 | embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or | |
5552 | "s", but I don't think that's a major issue. | |
5553 | ||
5554 | 10. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect | |
5555 | Exim's behaviour: | |
5556 | ||
5557 | (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the | |
5558 | 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes: | |
5559 | those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are | |
5560 | only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in | |
5561 | separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again. | |
5562 | There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour. | |
5563 | ||
5564 | (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a | |
5565 | macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is | |
5566 | not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where | |
5567 | it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in | |
5568 | one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice | |
5569 | did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a | |
5570 | function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing | |
5571 | string. | |
5572 | ||
5573 | (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop | |
5574 | instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very | |
5575 | few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when | |
5576 | the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is | |
5577 | given if an attempt is made to use such a condition. | |
5578 | ||
5579 | 11. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}. | |
5580 | ||
5581 | 12. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly | |
5582 | from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being | |
5583 | subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice. | |
5584 | ||
5585 | 13. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time. | |
5586 | ||
5587 | 14. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up | |
5588 | "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data | |
5589 | unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more | |
5590 | information. | |
5591 | ||
5592 | 15. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in | |
5593 | the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts. | |
5594 | ||
5595 | 16. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined. | |
5596 | Three changes have been made: | |
5597 | ||
5598 | (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole | |
5599 | recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages | |
5600 | to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has | |
5601 | been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to | |
5602 | MAIL if the sender used is not empty. | |
5603 | ||
5604 | (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has | |
5605 | been restored. | |
5606 | ||
5607 | (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want | |
5608 | the modified behaviour. | |
5609 | ||
5610 | ||
5611 | Exim version 4.31 | |
5612 | ----------------- | |
5613 | ||
5614 | 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of | |
5615 | Larry Rosenman. | |
5616 | ||
5617 | 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and | |
5618 | indeed breaks things for older releases. | |
5619 | ||
5620 | 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data | |
5621 | from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to | |
5622 | try to track down a specific problem. | |
5623 | ||
5624 | 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting | |
5625 | to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes | |
5626 | getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout. | |
5627 | ||
5628 | 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler | |
5629 | warning. | |
5630 | ||
5631 | 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the | |
5632 | fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now | |
5633 | configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but | |
5634 | can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and | |
5635 | Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but | |
5636 | some earlier ones do not. | |
5637 | ||
5638 | 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly. | |
5639 | ||
5640 | 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address | |
5641 | parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of | |
5642 | address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts | |
5643 | this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when | |
5644 | address literals are enabled, of course). | |
5645 | ||
5646 | 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux. | |
5647 | ||
5648 | 10. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f | |
5649 | encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only | |
5650 | by a command such as | |
5651 | ||
5652 | exim -f "" ... | |
5653 | ||
5654 | where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug. | |
5655 | ||
5656 | 11. Installed PCRE release 4.5. | |
5657 | ||
5658 | 12. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name | |
5659 | remained set. It is now erased. | |
5660 | ||
5661 | 13. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute | |
5662 | times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62). | |
5663 | ||
5664 | 14. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use | |
5665 | were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log | |
5666 | selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test, | |
5667 | but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL, | |
5668 | and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors. | |
5669 | In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not | |
5670 | actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an | |
5671 | appropriate error code. | |
5672 | ||
5673 | 15. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may | |
5674 | be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most | |
5675 | such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some | |
5676 | messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug | |
5677 | that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement | |
5678 | caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral. | |
5679 | ||
5680 | 16. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer | |
5681 | was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process | |
5682 | the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case. | |
5683 | ||
5684 | 17. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the | |
5685 | first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF | |
5686 | in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to | |
5687 | terminate the header. | |
5688 | ||
5689 | 18. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data | |
5690 | unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the | |
5691 | termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex. | |
5692 | ||
5693 | 19. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light | |
5694 | of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation | |
5695 | (4.30/29). In particular: | |
5696 | ||
5697 | . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is | |
5698 | imposed. | |
5699 | ||
5700 | . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt | |
5701 | to write a maildirsize file. | |
5702 | ||
5703 | . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in | |
5704 | the transport, the new value overrides. | |
5705 | ||
5706 | . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the | |
5707 | count. | |
5708 | ||
5709 | 20. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the | |
5710 | message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with | |
5711 | isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a | |
5712 | space or a tab. | |
5713 | ||
5714 | 21. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their | |
5715 | expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was | |
5716 | bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try | |
5717 | the fallback hosts. | |
5718 | ||
5719 | 22. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the | |
5720 | equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses | |
5721 | to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems. | |
5722 | ||
5723 | 23. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this | |
5724 | gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly", | |
5725 | using a union. | |
5726 | ||
5727 | 24. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems | |
5728 | (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar * | |
5729 | instead of char *, causing compiler failure. | |
5730 | ||
5731 | 25. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files. | |
5732 | ||
5733 | 26. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c. | |
5734 | ||
5735 | 27. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz"). | |
5736 | ||
5737 | 28. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers | |
5738 | contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions, | |
5739 | become corrupted. | |
5740 | ||
5741 | 29. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test | |
5742 | when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the | |
5743 | verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout | |
5744 | options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep | |
5745 | track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a | |
5746 | callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization. | |
5747 | The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be | |
5748 | too great. | |
5749 | ||
5750 | 30. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address | |
5751 | to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the | |
5752 | postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a | |
5753 | subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the | |
5754 | postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail, | |
5755 | incorrectly. | |
5756 | ||
5757 | 31. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however, | |
5758 | it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that | |
5759 | were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different | |
5760 | options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases | |
5761 | where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a | |
5762 | dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any | |
5763 | widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the | |
5764 | cached value only when the same options are set. | |
5765 | ||
5766 | 32. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution. | |
5767 | ||
5768 | 33. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other | |
5769 | than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an | |
5770 | Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for | |
5771 | the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each | |
5772 | wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out. | |
5773 | ||
5774 | 34: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not | |
5775 | maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and | |
5776 | it is clearly obsolete. | |
5777 | ||
5778 | 35. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp | |
5779 | transport. | |
5780 | ||
5781 | 36. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the | |
5782 | client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't | |
5783 | understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple | |
5784 | times. | |
5785 | ||
5786 | 37. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround. | |
5787 | Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature, | |
5788 | which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus | |
5789 | library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS, | |
5790 | disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect." | |
5791 | ||
5792 | 38. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could | |
5793 | lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file | |
5794 | size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just | |
5795 | as it does if it cannot open a log file. | |
5796 | ||
5797 | 39. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains | |
5798 | ||
5799 | CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE | |
5800 | ||
5801 | The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file | |
5802 | support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than | |
5803 | 2^31. | |
5804 | ||
5805 | 40. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for | |
5806 | instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup, | |
5807 | causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the | |
5808 | same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data | |
5809 | after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check | |
5810 | failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to | |
5811 | $localpart_data. | |
5812 | ||
5813 | 41. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given | |
5814 | with the -f command-line option. | |
5815 | ||
5816 | 42. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing | |
5817 | $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was | |
5818 | incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which | |
5819 | it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never | |
5820 | happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when | |
5821 | deliver_drop_privilege is set. | |
5822 | ||
5823 | 43. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon - | |
5824 | it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log | |
5825 | line. | |
5826 | ||
5827 | 44. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines | |
5828 | and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000 | |
5829 | bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to | |
5830 | say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to | |
5831 | 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have | |
5832 | also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk, | |
5833 | tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a | |
5834 | buffer is too small. | |
5835 | ||
5836 | 45. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in | |
5837 | lsearch lookups. Now it does. | |
5838 | ||
5839 | 46. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length | |
5840 | buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long, | |
5841 | thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong. | |
5842 | Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the | |
5843 | string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out | |
5844 | that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes | |
5845 | that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build | |
5846 | structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that | |
5847 | expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited. | |
5848 | ||
5849 | 47. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was | |
5850 | more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened | |
5851 | data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length. | |
5852 | ||
5853 | 48. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test | |
5854 | xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA | |
5855 | ACL"). | |
5856 | ||
5857 | 49. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally | |
5858 | replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement | |
5859 | no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed | |
5860 | at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is | |
5861 | to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line. | |
5862 | ||
5863 | 50. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of | |
5864 | messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed | |
5865 | by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on | |
5866 | large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order | |
5867 | is set. | |
5868 | ||
5869 | 51. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution. | |
5870 | ||
5871 | 52. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router. | |
5872 | ||
5873 | 53. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not | |
5874 | reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session. | |
5875 | ||
5876 | 54. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not | |
5877 | differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this | |
5878 | actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it. | |
5879 | ||
5880 | 55. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address | |
5881 | was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to | |
5882 | send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed | |
5883 | it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>. | |
5884 | (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.) | |
5885 | ||
5886 | 56. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the | |
5887 | target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the | |
5888 | qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are | |
5889 | inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must | |
5890 | be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a | |
5891 | target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These | |
5892 | two options are now turned off when doing these lookups. | |
5893 | ||
5894 | 57. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the | |
5895 | concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the | |
5896 | number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes, | |
5897 | which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is | |
5898 | to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing | |
5899 | the test of how many are available. | |
5900 | ||
5901 | 58. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is | |
5902 | remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a | |
5903 | message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written. | |
4c04137d | 5904 | However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an |
495ae4b0 PH |
5905 | entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a |
5906 | new message is started. | |
5907 | ||
5908 | 59. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the | |
5909 | debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set. | |
5910 | ||
5911 | 60. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use | |
5912 | of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1). | |
5913 | ||
5914 | 61. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming | |
5915 | connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and | |
5916 | isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error | |
5917 | is no long logged. | |
5918 | ||
5919 | 62. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and | |
5920 | die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that | |
5921 | on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is | |
5922 | included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error | |
5923 | for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a | |
5924 | protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a | |
5925 | failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down. | |
5926 | ||
5927 | 63. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This | |
5928 | makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted | |
5929 | from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be | |
5930 | interpreted as octal. | |
5931 | ||
5932 | 64. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global | |
5933 | setting. | |
5934 | ||
5935 | 65. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the | |
5936 | report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten, | |
5937 | Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new | |
5938 | copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.) | |
5939 | At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has | |
5940 | been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way. | |
5941 | ||
5942 | 66. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a | |
5943 | message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp | |
5944 | in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log | |
5945 | line. There are two side-effects of this change: | |
5946 | ||
5947 | (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the | |
5948 | logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because | |
5949 | it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message | |
5950 | that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected. | |
5951 | ||
5952 | (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header | |
5953 | is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this | |
5954 | is a bug fix. | |
5955 | ||
5956 | This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set | |
5957 | after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called. | |
5958 | ||
5959 | 67. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer. | |
5960 | ||
5961 | 68. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS | |
5962 | gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to | |
5963 | change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate, | |
5964 | which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty. | |
5965 | ||
5966 | 69. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL | |
5967 | gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any | |
5968 | supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate | |
5969 | supplied", which is not helpful. | |
5970 | ||
5971 | 70. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any | |
5972 | message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from | |
5973 | Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit. | |
5974 | ||
5975 | 71. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in | |
5976 | the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual | |
5977 | sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I | |
5978 | have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that | |
5979 | the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the | |
5980 | recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops, | |
5981 | since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>. | |
5982 | [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.] | |
5983 | ||
5984 | 72. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as | |
5985 | temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after | |
5986 | the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write | |
5987 | a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was | |
5988 | actually sending 8xx at this point.) | |
5989 | ||
5990 | 73. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when | |
5991 | the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the | |
5992 | middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA | |
5993 | ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration | |
4c04137d | 5994 | error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The |
495ae4b0 PH |
5995 | incident is still logged to the main and panic logs. |
5996 | ||
5997 | 74. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages | |
5998 | in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except | |
5999 | when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged. | |
6000 | ||
6001 | 75. Added write_rejectlog option. | |
6002 | ||
6003 | 76. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user | |
6004 | was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the | |
6005 | main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn | |
6006 | variables. | |
6007 | ||
6008 | 77. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector. | |
6009 | ||
6010 | 78. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred | |
6011 | when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's | |
6012 | retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to | |
6013 | be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an | |
6014 | occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue | |
6015 | longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was | |
6016 | forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem; | |
6017 | setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item. | |
6018 | ||
6019 | 79. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved | |
6020 | a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL | |
6021 | command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they | |
6022 | were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a | |
6023 | message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout. | |
6024 | ||
6025 | 80. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael | |
6026 | Haardt. | |
6027 | ||
6028 | 81. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following | |
6029 | conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server; | |
6030 | (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so | |
6031 | that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection | |
6032 | or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the | |
6033 | transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had | |
6034 | been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING | |
6035 | but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect | |
6036 | behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash. | |
6037 | ||
6038 | ||
6039 | Exim version 4.30 | |
6040 | ----------------- | |
6041 | ||
6042 | 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c | |
6043 | and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been | |
6044 | pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints). | |
6045 | ||
6046 | 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been | |
6047 | fixed. | |
6048 | ||
6049 | 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a | |
6050 | certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that | |
6051 | happened to be identical to the end of the original first string. | |
6052 | ||
6053 | 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host | |
6054 | name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating | |
6055 | systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the | |
6056 | "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty | |
6057 | string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an | |
4c04137d | 6058 | empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized. |
495ae4b0 PH |
6059 | |
6060 | 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given | |
6061 | IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave | |
6062 | all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris. | |
6063 | However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the | |
6064 | DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given. | |
6065 | I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run | |
6066 | the Exim test suite. | |
6067 | ||
6068 | To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its | |
6069 | own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name. | |
6070 | If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that | |
6071 | addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found. | |
6072 | ||
6073 | This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_ | |
6074 | order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other | |
6075 | order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can | |
6076 | specify it in this variable. | |
6077 | ||
6078 | 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In | |
6079 | some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty | |
6080 | string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in | |
6081 | other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too. | |
6082 | ||
6083 | 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally | |
6084 | as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a | |
6085 | numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest | |
6086 | kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored. | |
6087 | ||
6088 | 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing | |
6089 | at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This | |
6090 | works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with | |
6091 | no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I | |
6092 | have added a single, blank menu entry in this case. | |
6093 | ||
6094 | 9. Added ${quote_local_part. | |
6095 | ||
6096 | 10. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when | |
6097 | they are logged. | |
6098 | ||
6099 | 11. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse | |
6100 | lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a | |
6101 | host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this | |
6102 | variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no | |
6103 | longer necessary for query-style lookups. | |
6104 | ||
6105 | 12. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to | |
6106 | have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed. | |
6107 | ||
6108 | 13. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the | |
6109 | version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message | |
4c04137d | 6110 | to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the |
495ae4b0 PH |
6111 | error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by |
6112 | always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root. | |
6113 | ||
6114 | 14. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance | |
6115 | against a later release with more variables having written the file. | |
6116 | ||
6117 | 15. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO. | |
6118 | Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts | |
6119 | this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front. | |
6120 | ||
6121 | 16. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the | |
6122 | OS/Makefile-Darwin file. | |
6123 | ||
6124 | 17. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied | |
6125 | only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF. | |
6126 | ||
6127 | 18. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode | |
6128 | variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int | |
6129 | to get rid of the compiler warning. | |
6130 | ||
6131 | 19. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when | |
6132 | ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set. | |
6133 | ||
6134 | 20. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However, | |
6135 | if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim | |
6136 | crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent) | |
6137 | transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance. | |
6138 | ||
6139 | 21. Added the -t option to exigrep. | |
6140 | ||
6141 | 22. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch, | |
6142 | wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_ | |
6143 | NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of | |
6144 | them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced. | |
6145 | ||
6146 | 23. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary. | |
6147 | ||
6148 | 24. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log | |
6149 | line; previously there was no indication of these. | |
6150 | ||
6151 | 25. Added .include_if_exists. | |
6152 | ||
6153 | 26. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for | |
6154 | Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some | |
6155 | versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people | |
6156 | do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is | |
6157 | not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to | |
6158 | sync a directory. This applies only to Linux. | |
6159 | ||
6160 | 27. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin. | |
6161 | ||
6162 | 28. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in | |
6163 | /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with | |
6164 | this. | |
6165 | ||
6166 | 29. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit). | |
6167 | ||
6168 | 30. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to | |
6169 | sender verification failures with (e.g.): | |
6170 | ||
6171 | 550 Verification failed for <xxx> | |
6172 | 550 Sender verify failed | |
6173 | ||
6174 | where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not | |
6175 | the final line of the response. | |
6176 | ||
6177 | 31. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired | |
6178 | limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for | |
6179 | all other user lookups. | |
6180 | ||
6181 | 32. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at | |
6182 | delivery time. | |
6183 | ||
6184 | 33. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when | |
6185 | expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this | |
6186 | resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the | |
6187 | result into an int without checking. | |
6188 | ||
6189 | 34. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules | |
6190 | did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears | |
4c04137d | 6191 | to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work. |
495ae4b0 PH |
6192 | |
6193 | 35. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least | |
6194 | 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and | |
6195 | clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it | |
6196 | as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs. | |
6197 | ||
6198 | 36. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code | |
6199 | correctly. | |
6200 | ||
6201 | 37. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX, | |
6202 | timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX. | |
6203 | ||
6204 | 38. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten | |
6205 | to the empty sender. | |
6206 | ||
6207 | 39. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed | |
6208 | stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any | |
6209 | syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from | |
6210 | the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the | |
6211 | decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return | |
6212 | code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in | |
6213 | the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the | |
6214 | panic log. | |
6215 | ||
6216 | 40. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4 | |
6217 | connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as | |
6218 | just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates | |
6219 | it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being | |
6220 | used. | |
6221 | ||
6222 | 41. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now | |
6223 | says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument. | |
6224 | ||
6225 | 42. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log | |
6226 | timestamps. | |
6227 | ||
6228 | 43. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports, | |
6229 | and whether -tls-on-connect was used. | |
6230 | ||
6231 | 44. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded. | |
6232 | ||
6233 | 45. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being | |
6234 | silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic | |
6235 | logs. | |
6236 | ||
6237 | 46. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file | |
6238 | as soon as it is encountered. | |
6239 | ||
6240 | 47. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time. | |
6241 | ||
6242 | 48. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being | |
6243 | rewritten to "<>". | |
6244 | ||
6245 | 49. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also | |
6246 | recognizes a tab character. | |
6247 | ||
6248 | 50. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by | |
6249 | extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no | |
6250 | longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section | |
6251 | at the front about calling Exim under different names. | |
6252 | ||
6253 | 51. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files. | |
6254 | ||
6255 | 52. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to | |
6256 | crash. | |
6257 | ||
6258 | 53. Installed eximstats 1.29. | |
6259 | ||
6260 | 54. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option. | |
6261 | ||
6262 | 55. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or | |
6263 | Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC | |
6264 | 2822. | |
6265 | ||
6266 | 56. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any | |
6267 | incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the | |
6268 | message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host | |
6269 | address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent- | |
6270 | lines rather than the non-Resent- lines. | |
6271 | ||
6272 | 57. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The | |
6273 | limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3. | |
6274 | ||
6275 | 58. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main | |
6276 | configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a | |
6277 | list (.included file names were always shown). | |
6278 | ||
6279 | 59. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems | |
6280 | for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it | |
6281 | setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not | |
6282 | root at that time. | |
6283 | ||
6284 | 60. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings | |
6285 | that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing. | |
6286 | ||
6287 | 61. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel. | |
6288 | ||
6289 | 62. Added $mailstore_basename variable. | |
6290 | ||
6291 | 63. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt. | |
6292 | ||
6293 | 64. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log, | |
6294 | the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug | |
6295 | output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it | |
6296 | was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the | |
6297 | failures to open the logs. | |
6298 | ||
6299 | 65. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is | |
6300 | possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to | |
6301 | provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured, | |
6302 | this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be | |
6303 | a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs | |
6304 | to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a | |
6305 | filter in a non-root, non-exim process. | |
6306 | ||
6307 | ||
6308 | Exim version 4.24 | |
6309 | ----------------- | |
6310 | ||
6311 | 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for | |
6312 | HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was | |
6313 | not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in | |
6314 | change 4.23/1. | |
6315 | ||
6316 | 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were | |
6317 | shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that | |
6318 | are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs. | |
6319 | ||
6320 | 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not | |
6321 | have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line. | |
6322 | Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines. | |
6323 | ||
6324 | 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field | |
6325 | number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored, | |
6326 | causing some misleading effects. | |
6327 | ||
6328 | 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started | |
6329 | manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the | |
6330 | same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege. | |
6331 | ||
6332 | 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always | |
6333 | re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when | |
6334 | deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the | |
6335 | queue-runner function directly. | |
6336 | ||
6337 | ||
6338 | Exim version 4.23 | |
6339 | ----------------- | |
6340 | ||
6341 | 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of | |
6342 | HEADERS_CHARSET. | |
6343 | ||
6344 | 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being | |
6345 | ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it | |
6346 | was always written to the default place. | |
6347 | ||
6348 | 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during | |
6349 | incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming | |
6350 | connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it). | |
6351 | ||
6352 | 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly. | |
6353 | ||
6354 | 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks: | |
6355 | ||
6356 | (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can | |
6357 | be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option, | |
6358 | but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root". | |
6359 | ||
6360 | (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a | |
6361 | prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option | |
6362 | must start. | |
6363 | ||
6364 | (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege | |
6365 | is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without | |
6366 | it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege. | |
6367 | ||
6368 | (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D | |
6369 | command line option is disabled. | |
6370 | ||
6371 | 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just | |
6372 | like macro names defined in the configuration file. | |
6373 | ||
6374 | 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP. | |
6375 | ||
6376 | 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed. | |
6377 | ||
6378 | 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line, | |
6379 | the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it. | |
6380 | ||
6381 | 10. Incorporated PCRE 4.4. | |
6382 | ||
6383 | 11. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an | |
6384 | SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client | |
6385 | waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the | |
6386 | point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous | |
6387 | nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its | |
6388 | way, but not yet received, when the check is performed. | |
6389 | ||
6390 | 12. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY | |
6391 | on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to | |
6392 | timeout. | |
6393 | ||
6394 | 13. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was | |
6395 | unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer. | |
6396 | ||
6397 | 14. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir | |
6398 | was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo. | |
6399 | ||
6400 | 15. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it | |
6401 | received was valid base64. | |
6402 | ||
6403 | 16. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the | |
6404 | name of the variable that was being set. | |
6405 | ||
6406 | 17. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it. | |
6407 | ||
6408 | 18. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse | |
6409 | lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For | |
6410 | example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list. | |
6411 | Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been | |
6412 | looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains | |
6413 | empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1". | |
6414 | ||
6415 | 19. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator. | |
6416 | ||
6417 | 20. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service | |
6418 | nor realm was specified. | |
6419 | ||
6420 | 21. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the | |
6421 | error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP | |
6422 | connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary | |
6423 | errors are given to SMTP connections. | |
6424 | ||
6425 | 22. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands | |
6426 | (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was | |
6427 | failing to send a response to QUIT. | |
6428 | ||
6429 | 23. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts, | |
6430 | which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO | |
6431 | ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code. | |
6432 | ||
6433 | 24. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and | |
6434 | "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is | |
6435 | case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently | |
6436 | some systems use these upper case variants. | |
6437 | ||
6438 | 25. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport | |
6439 | filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the | |
6440 | same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non- | |
6441 | socket" when it tried to send the third. | |
6442 | ||
6443 | 26. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use. | |
6444 | ||
6445 | 27. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when | |
6446 | the OS had its own crypt16() function. | |
6447 | ||
6448 | 28. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit | |
6449 | as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an | |
6450 | expansion variable. | |
6451 | ||
6452 | 29. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1. | |
6453 | ||
6454 | 30. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule | |
6455 | for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses, | |
6456 | slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence | |
6457 | /../ is explicitly forbidden. | |
6458 | ||
6459 | 31. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before | |
6460 | using it. | |
6461 | ||
6462 | 32. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as | |
6463 | well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't | |
6464 | seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it. | |
6465 | ||
6466 | 33. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database. | |
6467 | However, I am unable to do any testing of this. | |
6468 | ||
6469 | 34. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories | |
6470 | for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally | |
6471 | using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing | |
6472 | would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48). | |
6473 | ||
6474 | 35. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its | |
6475 | contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded | |
6476 | recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.) | |
6477 | ||
6478 | 36. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty. | |
6479 | ||
6480 | 37. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for | |
6481 | some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it | |
6482 | could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number, | |
6483 | i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is | |
6484 | aborted. | |
6485 | ||
6486 | 38. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message | |
6487 | when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication. | |
6488 | This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message. | |
6489 | ||
6490 | 39. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions. | |
6491 | ||
6492 | 40. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be | |
6493 | accessed later in routers, transports, and filters. | |
6494 | ||
6495 | 41. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key | |
6496 | strings in the file are not string-expanded. | |
6497 | ||
6498 | 42. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an | |
6499 | int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are | |
6500 | now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one | |
6501 | day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around | |
6502 | when emails are that large. | |
6503 | ||
6504 | ||
6505 | ||
6506 | Exim version 4.22 | |
6507 | ----------------- | |
6508 | ||
6509 | 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that | |
6510 | iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD. | |
6511 | ||
6512 | 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with | |
6513 | IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from | |
6514 | the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c. | |
6515 | ||
6516 | 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an | |
6517 | argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a | |
6518 | typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments! | |
6519 | ||
6520 | 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction | |
6521 | of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for | |
6522 | at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is | |
6523 | almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is | |
6524 | unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.] | |
6525 | ||
6526 | 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a | |
6527 | second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the | |
6528 | timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short | |
6529 | and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension | |
6530 | never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for | |
6531 | ever. | |
6532 | ||
6533 | 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner | |
6534 | process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching | |
6535 | mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into | |
6536 | the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy | |
6537 | up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery | |
6538 | process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner | |
6539 | process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process | |
6540 | still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was | |
6541 | no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect | |
6542 | the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database, | |
6543 | the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to | |
6544 | see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection | |
6545 | unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups | |
6546 | in a queue runner before running a delivery process. | |
6547 | ||
6548 | 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't | |
6549 | seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've | |
6550 | parameterised it. | |
6551 | ||
6552 | 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators | |
6553 | *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an | |
6554 | error should be diagnosed. | |
6555 | ||
6556 | 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the | |
6557 | original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it | |
6558 | output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was | |
6559 | confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have | |
6560 | appeared instead of "NULL". | |
6561 | ||
6562 | 10. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim | |
6563 | user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root | |
6564 | privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition, | |
6565 | logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the | |
6566 | configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment | |
6567 | is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but | |
6568 | proceeds). | |
6569 | ||
6570 | However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well | |
6571 | be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case, | |
6572 | and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files. | |
6573 | ||
6574 | ||
6575 | Exim version 4.21 | |
6576 | ----------------- | |
6577 | ||
6578 | 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender | |
6579 | or receiver verification errors. | |
6580 | ||
6581 | 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public | |
6582 | name. | |
6583 | ||
6584 | 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first | |
6585 | delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held | |
6586 | for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time | |
6587 | the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it. | |
6588 | ||
6589 | 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor | |
6590 | bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that | |
6591 | the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always | |
6592 | operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This | |
6593 | shouldn't happen again. | |
6594 | ||
6595 | 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the | |
6596 | Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring | |
6597 | any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed. | |
6598 | ||
6599 | 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on | |
6600 | arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan(). | |
6601 | ||
6602 | 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector. | |
6603 | ||
6604 | 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it | |
6605 | was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO. | |
6606 | ||
6607 | 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other | |
6608 | ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the | |
6609 | RFC. | |
6610 | ||
6611 | 10. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main | |
6612 | daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection | |
6613 | count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect). | |
6614 | ||
6615 | 11. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the | |
6616 | outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes | |
6617 | the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass", | |
6618 | or "require"), the connection is dropped. | |
6619 | ||
6620 | 12. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL | |
6621 | that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb, | |
6622 | but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way | |
6623 | to define what should happen). | |
6624 | ||
6625 | 13. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines | |
6626 | are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file. | |
6627 | In particular, continuation lines are supported. | |
6628 | ||
6629 | 14. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature. | |
6630 | ||
6631 | 15. Added -ti meaning -t -i. | |
6632 | ||
6633 | 16. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist | |
6634 | domains, and warn by logging if others are found. | |
6635 | ||
4c04137d | 6636 | 17. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's |
495ae4b0 PH |
6637 | returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on |
6638 | a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned | |
6639 | structure in all cases. | |
6640 | ||
6641 | Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct | |
6642 | ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That | |
6643 | means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the | |
6644 | ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage). | |
6645 | ||
6646 | 18. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option. | |
6647 | An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal | |
6648 | domain name. | |
6649 | ||
6650 | 19. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log | |
6651 | if the ACL subsequently rejects the message. | |
6652 | ||
6653 | 20. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just | |
6654 | MD5 (which is deprecated). | |
6655 | ||
6656 | 21. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it | |
6657 | took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so | |
6658 | when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does. | |
6659 | ||
6660 | 22. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin | |
6661 | with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters | |
6662 | terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning. | |
6663 | ||
6664 | 23. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and | |
6665 | the book and for uniformity. | |
6666 | ||
6667 | 24. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item. | |
6668 | ||
6669 | 25. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport, | |
4c04137d | 6670 | Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this |
495ae4b0 PH |
6671 | could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This |
6672 | has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run | |
6673 | a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a | |
6674 | non-existent command as the problem. | |
6675 | ||
6676 | 26. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received: | |
6677 | header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but | |
6678 | marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.) | |
6679 | ||
6680 | 27. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option). | |
6681 | ||
6682 | 28. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon | |
6683 | code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with | |
6684 | ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure. | |
6685 | ||
6686 | 29. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the | |
6687 | equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C | |
6688 | program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of | |
6689 | timestamps using strftime(). | |
6690 | ||
6691 | 30. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable | |
6692 | complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this. | |
6693 | ||
6694 | 32. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during | |
6695 | transport-time rewrites. | |
6696 | ||
6697 | 33. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void | |
6698 | (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the | |
6699 | function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is | |
6700 | expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers. | |
6701 | ||
6702 | 34. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A | |
6703 | records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed. | |
6704 | ||
6705 | 35. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored | |
6706 | all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP | |
6707 | value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the | |
6708 | $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a | |
6709 | comma and a space. | |
6710 | ||
6711 | 36. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used | |
6712 | to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of | |
6713 | them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only | |
6714 | those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other | |
6715 | names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS | |
6716 | administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a | |
6717 | wildcarded host restriction in an ACL. | |
6718 | ||
6719 | 37. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of | |
6720 | the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command, | |
6721 | the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the | |
6722 | value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by | |
6723 | change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-( | |
6724 | ||
6725 | 38. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs. | |
6726 | Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim | |
6727 | left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've | |
6728 | reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break | |
6729 | point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one | |
6730 | that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the | |
6731 | remaining text gets split now. | |
6732 | ||
6733 | 39. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of | |
6734 | file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it. | |
6735 | It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and | |
6736 | that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it. | |
6737 | ||
6738 | 40. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_ | |
6739 | address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an | |
6740 | oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by | |
6741 | -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to | |
6742 | $return_path. | |
6743 | ||
6744 | 41. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the | |
6745 | log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the | |
6746 | conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the | |
6747 | messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This | |
6748 | no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_ | |
6749 | message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be | |
6750 | passed through if needed. | |
6751 | ||
6752 | 42. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a | |
6753 | new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset | |
6754 | translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV | |
6755 | indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to | |
6756 | translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and | |
6757 | "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file. | |
6758 | ||
6759 | 43. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim | |
6760 | that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead | |
6761 | of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047: | |
6762 | expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local | |
6763 | message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part. | |
6764 | ||
6765 | 44. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was | |
6766 | buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID | |
6767 | ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because | |
6768 | message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have | |
6769 | incorrect size information for certain domains. | |
6770 | ||
6771 | 45. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This | |
6772 | caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not | |
6773 | noticed. | |
6774 | ||
6775 | 46. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as | |
6776 | a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real | |
6777 | address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the | |
6778 | original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing | |
6779 | mayhem of various kinds. | |
6780 | ||
6781 | 47. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking | |
6782 | when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values | |
4c04137d | 6783 | may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do |
495ae4b0 PH |
6784 | the right test for positive values. |
6785 | ||
6786 | 48. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up | |
6787 | in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they | |
6788 | appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not | |
6789 | all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a | |
6790 | change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening | |
6791 | of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was | |
6792 | trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally | |
6793 | caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain | |
6794 | twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the | |
6795 | casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message | |
6796 | envelope. | |
6797 | ||
6798 | 49. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed | |
6799 | module. | |
6800 | ||
6801 | 50. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if | |
6802 | no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not | |
6803 | forbidding it. | |
6804 | ||
6805 | 51. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to | |
6806 | the existing equality matching. | |
6807 | ||
6808 | 52. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was | |
6809 | dealing with inode numbers. | |
6810 | ||
6811 | 53. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is | |
6812 | TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable | |
6813 | called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value. | |
6814 | ||
6815 | 54. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so | |
6816 | additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an | |
6817 | smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection. | |
6818 | The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to | |
6819 | local_scan(). | |
6820 | ||
6821 | 55. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user" | |
6822 | has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router, | |
6823 | using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification | |
6824 | failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly, | |
6825 | the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable | |
6826 | relay addresses has also been removed. | |
6827 | ||
6828 | 56. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport. | |
6829 | ||
6830 | 57. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option | |
6831 | CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it | |
6832 | will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid. | |
6833 | ||
6834 | 58. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line | |
6835 | endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr | |
6836 | options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The | |
6837 | following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special | |
6838 | processing applies to CR: | |
6839 | ||
6840 | (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message, | |
6841 | nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator. | |
6842 | ||
6843 | (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added | |
6844 | after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning | |
6845 | behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either | |
6846 | to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games. | |
6847 | ||
6848 | 59. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window, | |
6849 | was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been. | |
6850 | This is a VOB (very old bug). | |
6851 | ||
6852 | 60. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has: | |
6853 | When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts, | |
6854 | the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded. | |
6855 | When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following | |
6856 | hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no | |
6857 | longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously | |
6858 | arisen. | |
6859 | ||
6860 | 61. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query | |
6861 | program routers. | |
6862 | ||
6863 | 62. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted: | |
6864 | header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and | |
6865 | is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two | |
6866 | possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim | |
6867 | adds: | |
6868 | ||
6869 | Auto-Submitted: auto-replied | |
6870 | ||
6871 | whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds | |
6872 | ||
6873 | Auto-Submitted: auto-generated | |
6874 | ||
6875 | 63. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the | |
6876 | Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it | |
6877 | not considered personal. | |
6878 | ||
6879 | 64. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option. | |
6880 | ||
6881 | 65. Added queue_only_override (default true). | |
6882 | ||
6883 | 66. Added the syslog_duplication option. | |
6884 | ||
6885 | 67. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of | |
6886 | a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line. | |
6887 | It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be | |
6888 | treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have | |
6889 | caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent | |
6890 | header lines, and spool format errors. | |
6891 | ||
6892 | 68. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the | |
6893 | client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL | |
6894 | for more flexibility. | |
6895 | ||
6896 | 69. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a | |
6897 | variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including | |
6898 | consulting and updating the callout cache. | |
6899 | ||
6900 | 70. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander | |
6901 | Sabourenkov. | |
6902 | ||
6903 | 71. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their | |
6904 | size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage". | |
6905 | Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception. | |
6906 | These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when | |
6907 | an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really | |
6908 | serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this | |
6909 | happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the | |
6910 | incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log | |
6911 | directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages. | |
6912 | ||
6913 | 72. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors | |
6914 | 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see | |
6915 | ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these | |
6916 | descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded, | |
6917 | causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null | |
6918 | got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and | |
6919 | bombs out if it can't open /dev/null. | |
6920 | ||
6921 | 73. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and | |
6922 | interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain | |
6923 | backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces. | |
6924 | ||
6925 | 74. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code | |
6926 | to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a | |
6927 | connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken | |
6928 | from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple | |
6929 | function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the | |
6930 | one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail | |
6931 | instead of killing the process with assert(). | |
6932 | ||
6933 | 75. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather | |
6934 | than Unicode encoding. | |
6935 | ||
6936 | 76. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in | |
6937 | the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted | |
6938 | NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now | |
6939 | forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid. | |
6940 | ||
6941 | 77. Added process_log_path. | |
6942 | ||
6943 | 78. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or | |
6944 | check_log_inodes was ignored. | |
6945 | ||
6946 | 79. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now | |
6947 | logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost... | |
6948 | ||
6949 | 80. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to | |
6950 | print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the | |
6951 | debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d. | |
6952 | ||
6953 | 81. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a | |
6954 | buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As | |
6955 | initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing | |
6956 | spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by | |
6957 | a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes | |
6958 | were applied: | |
6959 | ||
6960 | (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion. | |
6961 | (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected | |
6962 | as invalid. | |
6963 | ||
6964 | 82. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now | |
6965 | runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups, | |
6966 | they will be used during message reception. | |
6967 | ||
