6Exim version 4.94
7-----------------
d85cdeb5
JH
8
9JH/01 Avoid costly startup code when not strictly needed. This reduces time
10 for some exim process initialisations. It does mean that the logging
11 of TLS configuration problems is only done for the daemon startup.
12
81344b40
JH
13JH/02 Early-pipelining support code is now included unless disabled in Makefile.
14
6ce1ece9
JH
15JH/03 DKIM verification defaults no long accept sha1 hashes, to conform to
16 RFC 8301. They can still be enabled, using the dkim_verify_hashes main
17 option.
18
179ed8c3
JH
19JH/04 Support CHUNKING from an smtp transport using a transport_filter, when
20 DKIM signing is being done. Previously a transport_filter would always
21 disable CHUNKING, falling back to traditional DATA.
22
f0fe22cb
JH
23JH/05 Regard command-line receipients as tainted.
24
01446a56
JH
25JH/06 Bug 340: Remove the daemon pid file on exit, whe due to SIGTERM.
26
dcbfbada
FG
27JH/07 Bug 2489: Fix crash in the "pam" expansion condition. It seems that the
28 PAM library frees one of the arguments given to it, despite the
29 documentation. Therefore a plain malloc must be used.
30
c58803fd
JH
31JH/08 Bug 2491: Use tainted buffers for the transport smtp context. Previously
32 on-stack buffers were used, resulting in a taint trap when DSN information
33 copied from a received message was written into the buffer.
34
e9dfcfb7
JH
35JH/09 Bug 2493: Harden ARC verify against Outlook, whick has been seen to mix
36 the ordering of its ARC headers. This caused a crash.
37
5fae29d5
JH
38JH/10 Bug 2492: Use tainted memory for retry record when needed. Previously when
39 a new record was being constructed with information from the peer, a trap
40 was taken.
41
39fdec3c
JH
42JH/11 Bug 2494: Unset the default for dmarc_tld_file. Previously a naiive
43 installation would get error messages from DMARC verify, when it hit the
44 nonexistent file indicated by the default. Distros wanting DMARC enabled
45 should both provide the file and set the option.
46 Also enforce no DMARC verification for command-line sourced messages.
47
de41aff0
JH
48JH/12 Fix an uninitialised flag in early-pipelining. Previously connections
49 could, depending on the platform, hang at the STARTTLS response.
50
1415d1a6
JH
51JH/13 Bug 2498: Reset a counter used for ARC verify before handling another
52 message on a connection. Previously if one message had ARC headers and
53 the following one did not, a crash could result when adding an
54 Authentication-Results: header.
55
8aa16eb7
JH
56JH/14 Bug 2500: Rewind some of the common-coding in string handling between the
57 Exim main code and Exim-related utities. The introduction of taint
58 tracking also did many adjustments to string handling. Since then, eximon
59 frequently terminated with an assert failure.
60
c4639661
JH
61JH/15 When PIPELINING, synch after every hundred or so RCPT commands sent and
62 check for 452 responses. This slightly helps the inefficieny of doing
63 a large alias-expansion into a recipient-limited target. The max_rcpt
64 transport option still applies (and at the current default, will override
65 the new feature). The check is done for either cause of synch, and forces
66 a fast-retry of all 452'd recipients using a new MAIL FROM on the same
67 connection. The new facility is not tunable at this time.
68
98eb9592
JH
69JH/16 Fix the variables set by the gsasl authenticator. Previously a pointer to
70 library live data was being used, so the results became garbage. Make
71 copies while it is still usable.
72
a55697ac
JH
73JH/17 Logging: when the deliver_time selector ise set, include the DT= field
74 on delivery deferred (==) and failed (**) lines (if a delivery was
75 attemtped). Previously it was only on completion (=>) lines.
76
2b615f22
JH
77JH/18 Authentication: the gsasl driver not provides the $authN variables in time
78 for the expansion of the server_scram_iter and server_scram_salt options.
79
79e5ebf9 80WB/01 SPF: DNS lookups for the obsolete SPF RR type done by the libspf2 library
549d36dd
WB
81 are now specifically given a NO_DATA response without hitting the system
82 resolver. The library goes on to do the now-standard TXT lookup.
79e5ebf9 83 Use of dnsdb lookups is not affected.
b1c673dd
JH
84
85JH/19 Bug 2507: Modules: on handling a dynamic-module (lookups) open failure,
86 only retrieve the errormessage once. Previously two calls to dlerror()
87 were used, and the second one (for mainlog/paniclog) retrieved null
88 information.
79e5ebf9 89
7d99cba1
JH
90JH/20 Taint checking: disallow use of tainted data for
91 - the appendfile transport file and directory options
92 - the pipe transport command
481e63ca 93 - the autoreply transport file, log and once options
7d99cba1 94 - file names used by the redirect router (including filter files)
ed162055 95 - named-queue names
9214d2e4 96 Previously this was permitted.
0d2e392e 97
7a66b3af
JH
98JH/21 Bug 2501: Fix init call in the heimdal authenticator. Previously it
99 adjusted the size of a major service buffer; this failed because the
100 buffer was in use at the time. Change to a compile-time increase in the
101 buffer size, when this authenticator is compiled into exim.
102
4381d60b
JH
103JH/22 Taint-checking: move to safe-mode taint checking on all platforms. The
104 previous fast-mode was untenable in the face of glibs using mmap to
105 support larger malloc requests.
36eb5d3d 106
c8b050fd
PP
107PP/01 Update the openssl_options possible values through OpenSSL 1.1.1c.
108 New values supported, if defined on system where compiled:
109 allow_no_dhe_kex, cryptopro_tlsext_bug, enable_middlebox_compat,
110 no_anti_replay, no_encrypt_then_mac, prioritize_chacha, tlsext_padding
111
92562f63
JH
112JH/23 Performance improvement in the initial phase of a two-pass queue run. By
113 running a limited number of proceses in parallel, a benefit is gained. The
114 amount varies with the platform hardware and load. The use of the option
115 queue_run_in_order means we cannot do this, as ordering becomes
116 indeterminate.
117
5c329a43
JH
118JH/24 Bug 2524: fix the cyrus_sasl auth driver gssapi usage. A previous fix
119 had introduced a string-copy (for ensuring NUL-termination) which was not
120 appropriate for that case, which can include embedded NUL bytes in the
121 block of data. Investigation showed the copy to actually be needless, the
122 data being length-specified.
123
bd95ffc2
JH
124JH/25 Fix use of concurrent TLS connections under GnuTLS. When a callout was
125 done during a receiving connection, and both used TLS, global info was
126 used rather than per-connection info for tracking the state of data
127 queued for transmission. This could result in a connection hang.
128
5bf8a516
JH
129JH/26 Fix use of the SIZE parameter on MAIL commands, on continued connections.
130 Previously, when delivering serveral messages down a single connection
131 only the first would provide a SIZE. This was due to the size information
132 not being properly tracked.
133
158d7137
AW
134JH/27 Bug 2530: When operating in a timezone with sub-minute offset, such as
135 TAI (at 37 seconds currently), pretend to be in UTC for time-related
136 expansion and logging. Previously, spurious values such as a future
137 minute could be seen.
138
03f110c5
JH
139JH/28 Bug 2533: Fix expansion of ${tr } item. When called in some situations
140 it could crash from a null-deref. This could also affect the
141 ${addresses: } operator and ${readsock } item.
142
b273058b
JH
143JH/29 Bug 2537: Fix $mime_part_count. When a single connection had a non-mime
144 message following a mime one, the variable was not reset.
145
4ca005cd
JH
146JH/30 When an pipelined-connect fails at the first response, assume incorrect
147 cached capability (perhaps the peer reneged?) and immediately retry in
148 non-pipelined mode.
149
130212d3
JH
150JH/31 Fix spurious detection of timeout while writing to transport filter.
151
5fcc791a
JH
152JH/32 Bug 2541: Fix segfault on bad cmdline -f (sender) argument. Previously
153 an attempt to copy the string was made before checking it.
154

JH
156Exim version 4.93
157-----------------
158
8a40db1c
JH
159JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
160 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 161
fc243e94 162JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
163 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
164 its own TCP segment.
165
897024f1
JH
166JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
167 each verb.
168
f1be21cf
JH
169JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
170
fe12ec88
JH
171JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
172
05bf16f6
JH
173JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
174 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
175
fc243e94
JH
176JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
177 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
178 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
179 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
180 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
181 suitably configured).
182
c05bdbd6 183JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
184 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
185
14bc9cf0
JH
186JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
187 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
188 crash could result.
189
254f38d1
JH
190JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
191 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
192
c09dbcfb
JH
193JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
194 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
195 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
196 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
197 to this system.
254f38d1 198
f9fc9427
JH
199JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
200 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
201 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
202
e6024a5e
JH
203JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
204 output.
205
1fbf41cd
JH
206JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
207 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
208
3c55eef2 209JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 210 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
211 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
212 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
213 input).
214
cb80814d
HSHR
215HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
216 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
217 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
218 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
219 (It was "hdr.$pid".)
220
7d8d08c4 221HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
82a996b1
HSHR
222 shared (NFS) environment.
223
7d8d08c4 224HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
82a996b1
HSHR
225 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
226 affected.
227
bd83c6f9
JH
228JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
229 on some platforms for bit 31.
230
d9acfc1c
JH
231JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
232 to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
233 previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
234 like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
235 and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
236 the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
237 This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
238 and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
239
b10c87b3
JH
240JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
241
7a501c87
JH
242JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
243 verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
244
e5903596
JH
245JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue. Previously, even with the option
246 queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
247 facility.
248
12d95aa6
JH
249JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
250 directory-of-certs mode. Previously they were advertised despite the
251 documentation.
252
96eb7d2a
JH
253JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
254 A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
255 for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
256 not do so.
257
59c0959a 258JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
01603eec
JH
259 default. If built with the facility, DANE will be used. The facility
260 SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
261
262JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
de517fd3
JH
263 is replaced with DISABLE_TLS. Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
264 must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
265 the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
266 choice. Non-TLS builds are still supported.
59c0959a 267
48519cef
JH
268JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
269 reject under TFO.
96eb7d2a 270
efad2f41 271JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
4e48d56c 272 default. If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
efad2f41
JH
273 be requested on all coneections.
274
4e48d56c

275JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
276 controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.

0a5441fc 279
87abcb24
JH
280JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
281 success-DSN messages. Previously the From: header was always the default
282 one for these; the option was ignored.
6ee11061 283
0a5441fc
JH
284JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
285 Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
286 single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
287 long time. Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
288
436bda2a
JH
289JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field. Previously it was the post-routing
290 delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
291 forwarding. Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
292 standards.
293
df98a6ff
JH
294JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
295 requested. Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
296 error ignored was made.

298JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)

f3ebb786
JH
300JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
301 channel, and values derived from them. Refuse to expand any tainted
302 values, to catch one form of exploit.
303
9fa4d5b4
RJ
304JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option. Previously the expansion result
305 was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test. Found and
306 fixed by Ruben Jenster.
307
bd231acd
JH
308JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown. When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
309 an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
310 causing a segfault.
311

JH
312JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
313 them in our smtp response.
314
9c6881f8 315JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
dbbf21a7
JH
316 any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything). Previously it
317 was only for check_local user. The change removes one item of manual
318 configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
319 handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
320
9c6881f8

321JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
322 link count into consideration.

7d8d08c4
JH
324HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
325 caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
326
327JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
328 accordance with RFC 2308. Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
329 receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
330 surprise.

345JH/42 Bug 2545: Fix CHUNKING for all RCPT commands rejected. Previously we
346 carried on and emitted a BDAT command, even when PIPELINING was not
347 active.
348
13e70f55
JH
349JH/43 Bug 2465: Fix taint-handling in dsearch lookup. Previously a nontainted
350 buffer was used for the filename, resulting in a trap when tainted
351 arguments (eg. $domain) were used.

2043336d
JH
353JH/44 With OpenSSL 1.1.1 (onwards) disable renegotiation for TLS1.2 and below;
354 recommended to avoid a possible server-load attack. The feature can be
355 re-enabled via the openssl_options main cofiguration option.
356
b2d54f83
JH
357JH/45 local_scan API: documented the current smtp_printf() call. This changed
358 for version 4.90 - adding a "more data" boolean to the arguments.
b3317cfa
JH
359 Bumped the ABI version number also, this having been missed previously;
360 release versions 4.90 to 4.92.3 inclusive were effectively broken in
361 respect of usage of smtp_printf() by either local_scan code or libraries
362 accessed via the ${dlfunc } expansion item. Both will need coding
363 adjustment for any calls to smtp_printf() to match the new function
364 signature; a FALSE value for the new argument is always safe.
b2d54f83 365
1bf08084
JH
366JH/46 FreeBSD: fix use of the sendfile() syscall. The shim was not updating
367 the file-offset (which the Linux syscall does, and exim expects); this
368 resulted in an indefinite loop.
369
7af11cd0
JH
370JH/47 ARC: fix crash in signing, triggered when a configuration error failed
371 to do ARC verification. The Authentication-Results: header line added
372 by the configuration then had no ARC item.

378JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
379 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
380
381JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
382 non-signal-safe functions being used.
383
384JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
385 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
386 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 387
ea7b1f16

402JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and

405 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
406 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
407 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
408 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.

595JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
596 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
597 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
598 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
599 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
600 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
601 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
602 Main pool for expansions.
603 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,

715 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
716 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
717 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.

836JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
837 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
838 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
839 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
840 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
841 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
842 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.

1919TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1920
1921 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1922 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1923 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1924 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1925 the retry rules.
1926
1927 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1928 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1929 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1930
1931 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1932 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1933 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1934 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1935
1ddeb334
TF
1936 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1937 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1938 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1939 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1940 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1941 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1942 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1943
1944 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1945 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1949 Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header

1951 Resent-From: f
1952
1953 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1954 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1955 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1956 username as equal to the username.
1957
1958 This change corrects that bug.

1985 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

2267TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
2268 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
2269 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
2270
2271 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
2272 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
2273 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
2274 not safe for signals.
2275
2276 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2277 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2278 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2279 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2280 exiwhat.

2282TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2283
2284 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2285 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2286 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2287 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 2288 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
2289
2290 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2291 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2292 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2293 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2294 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2295 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2296
2297 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2298 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2299 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2300 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2301
2302 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2303 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2304 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2305 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2306
2307 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2308 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2309 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2310 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2311 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2312 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2313 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2314 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2315 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2316
2317 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2318 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2319 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2320 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2321
2322 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2323 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2324 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2325 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2326 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2327 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2328 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2329 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2330 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2331 details in the main documentation.

2882 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2901-----------------
2902
2903PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2904
6a3bceb1
PH
2905PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2906 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2907 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2908 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2909 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2910 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2911 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2912 for iplsearch lookups.
2913
2914 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2915 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2916 previously such lookups could never work.
2917
4c04137d 2918 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2919 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2920 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2925MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2926 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2927 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2928 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2929 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2930 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2935MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2936 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2937 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2938 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2939 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2940 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

PH
3123PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
3124 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
3125 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
3126 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
3127 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
3128 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
3129 pipelining has not been advertised.

3185 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the

PH
3203 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
3204 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
3205 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
3206 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
3207 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
3208 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
3209 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 3210 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

3220
3221PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
3222 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
3223
3224 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
3225 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
3226
3227 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
3228 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
3229 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
3230
3231 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
3232 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
3233 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
3234 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
3235 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

3249PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)

3251 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
3252 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
3253 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
3254 rather than extend the field.

3261 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).

3270TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used

2b1c6e3a
PH
3279PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3280 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3281 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3282 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3283 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3284 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3285 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3286 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3287 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3288 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3289 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3323PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

3325 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3326 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3327 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3328 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3329 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
3330 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 3332PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 3333 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
3334 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3335 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3336 function.
3337 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3338 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3339 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3340 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3341 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3342 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3343 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3344 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3345 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3351 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3352 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3353 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3354 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3355 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3356 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3357 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

3360 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

3362
322050c2
PH
3363PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3364 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3365 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3366 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3367 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3368 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3369 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3370 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3371 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3372 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3373 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3374 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3375 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

3377PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3378 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3379 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3380 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3381 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3382 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3383 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
3385PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3386 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3387 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3388 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3389 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3390 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3391 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3392 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3393 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3394 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
3396PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3397 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3398 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3399 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3400 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3402PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3403 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3404 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3405 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3406 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3407 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3408 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3413 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3414 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3415 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3416 been verified.

3447
3448PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3449 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3450 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3451 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3452 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3453 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3454 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3455 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3456 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3457
3458 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3459 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3460 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3461 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3462 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3463 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3464 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3465 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3466 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3467
3468 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3469 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3470 hammering the server.

3488 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3489 fails.
3490
48c7f9e2
PH
3491PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3492 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3493 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3494 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3495 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
3496 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3497 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3498 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3499 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3500 smtp transport.

3773 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3774 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

3860 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3861 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3862 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3863 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a

3895PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3896 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3897 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3898 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3899 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3900 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3901 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3902 values from the SRV records were lost.

3904PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

727071f8
PH
3912PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3913 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3914 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3915 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3916 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3917 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3918 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3919 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3920 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
4017PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
4018 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
4019 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
4020 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
4021 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
4022 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
4023 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
4024 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
4025 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
4026 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

4038 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
4039 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the

4063
4064 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
4065 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
4066 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
4067 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
4068
4069 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
4070 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
4071 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
4072
4073PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
4074 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
4075 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
4076 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

4147PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
4148 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
4149 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
4150 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
4151 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
4152 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
4153 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
4154 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
4155 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
4156 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
4157 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

4213PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
4214 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
4215 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
4216 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
4217 identical. For example:
4218
4219 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
4220
4221 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
4222 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
4223 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

PH
4249PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to
4250 Electronic Mail") by including:
4251
4252 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
4253
4254 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
4c04137d 4255 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP messages, there was
456682f5
PH
4256 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
4257 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
4258 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
4259
4260 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
4261
4262 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
4263
4264 The auto-replied keyword:
4265
4266 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
4267 message by an automatic process,
4268
4269 - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
4270
4271 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
4272 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),

4275 processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to
4276 other messages.

4300 nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
4301 not changing the active code.

PH
4312PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
4313 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
4314 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
4315 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4316 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4317 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4318 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4319 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4320 the text comparison.
4321
96776534
PH
4322PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
4323 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated

4325 The same fix has been applied.

4617PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
4618 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
4619 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
4c04137d 4620 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were
415c8f3b
PH
4621 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,

PH
4624PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
4625 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
4626 write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
4627 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
4628 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4629 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4704 the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our
4705 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
4706 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
4707 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim

4709 falls back to the previous guessing code."

4768 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
4769 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was

4837
4838PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4839 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4840 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4841 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4842 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4843 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4844 file.
4845
4846PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4847 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4848 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4849 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4850 these two options.
4851
4852PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4853 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4854 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4855 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4856 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4857 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4858 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4859 address.

4860
4861PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T

4863
4864PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4865 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4866 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4867 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4868 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4869 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4870
4871PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

4923 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4924 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4925 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4926 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources

4933 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4934 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1

PH
4947PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4948 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4949 understands it better than I do:
4950
4951 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4952 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4953
4954 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4955 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4956 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4957 => three warnings about OTP not working
4958 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4959
4960 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4961 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4962 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4963 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4964 for each call.)
4965 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4966 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4967
4968 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4969 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still

5015 does for delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless

PH
5034PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
5035 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
5036 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
5037 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
5038 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
5039 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
5040 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
5041
5042 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
5043 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
5044 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
5045 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
5046 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
5047
5048 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
5049 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
5050 routed further.

5056 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
5057 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

5095 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
5096 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
5097 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
5098 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
5099 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

5109A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
5110----------------------------------------
5111
5112Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
5113changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
5114needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
5115in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
5116that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
5117release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
5118from 4.43.
5119
5120I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
51214.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
5122those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
5123historical information.

5141 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5142 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5143 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5144 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5145 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

5149 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5150 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5151 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5152 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

5157 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5158 control that does not make sense is encountered.

519922. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5200 ignore_target_hosts.
5201
520223. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5203 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5204 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5205 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5206 "[x.x.x.x]".
5207

PH
520824. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5209 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5210 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5211
521225. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5213 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5214 wake it up if nothing else does.

62c0818f
PH
521626. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5217 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5218 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5219 end up negative.

PH
522629. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
5227 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
5228 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
5229 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
5230 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
5231 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
5232 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
5233 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
5234
d8ef3577
PH
523530. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
5236 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
5237 than one IP address.
5238
5cb8cbc6
PH
523931. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
5240 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
5241 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
5242 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
5243
14702f5b
PH
524432. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5245 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5246 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5247 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5248 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5249 1024 to 2048 bytes.
5250
063b1e99
PH
525133. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
5252 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
5253 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
5254 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
5255
652e1b65
PH
525634. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5257 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5258 respected.
5259
6f0c9a4f
PH
526035. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5261 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5262 $sender_host_address.
5263
33397d19
PH
526436. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
5265 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
5266 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
5267 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
5268 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
5269 very small.
5270
7bb56e1f
PH
527137. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
5272
5273 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
5274 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
5275
ea3bc19b
PH
5276 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
5277 just the host names, not the priorities.

5280 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
5281 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 5282

7bb56e1f 5284 multiple records are returned.

5307 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the

533352. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5334 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5335 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5336 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5337 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5338 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5339 is going on).

PH
534654. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5347 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5348 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5349
5350 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5351 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5352 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5353 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5354 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5355 so I produce this patch..."
5356
3295e65b
PH
5357 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5358 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5359 is not defined.

5378 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5379 of $primary_hostname.

b975ba52
PH
538160. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5382 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5383 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5384 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5385 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5386 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5387 by change 4.50/55 above.
5388
5389 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5390 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5391 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5392 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5393 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5394 running as the user.

5398 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5399 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.

PH
540262. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
5403 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
5404
d95f9fdb
PH
540563. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5406 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5407 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5408 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5409 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5410

PH
541164. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5412 This has been fixed.
5413
60dc5e56
PH
541465. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5415 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5416 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5417 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5418 the caching.)
5419

PH
542066. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5421
a5a28604
PH
542267. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5423 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5424 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5425 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5426
7e634d24
PH
542768. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5428 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5429
3e11c26b
PH
543069. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5431 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5432 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5433
6729cf78
PH
543470. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5435 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5436 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5437 message there.
5438
00f00ca5
PH
543971. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5440 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5441 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5442
c9bdd01c
PH
544372. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5444 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5445 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5446 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5447
d43194df
PH
544873. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5449 during host lookups.
5450
fe5b5d0b
PH
545174. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5452 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5453
5454 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5455
76a2d7ba
PH
545675. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5457 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5458 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5459 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5460 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5461 background.
5462
546376. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5464 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5465
04f7d5b9
PH
546677. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5467 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5468 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5469
bc60667e
PH
547078. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5471
bb6e88ff
PH
547279. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5473 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5474 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5475 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5476 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5477 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5478 process earlier.
5479
1e70f85b
PH
548080. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5481 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5482 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5483 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5484 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5485
548681. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5487 tables).

5500----------------------------------------------------
5501See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5502----------------------------------------------------
5503
5504
5505Exim version 4.44
5506-----------------
5507
5508 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5509 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5510 transport
5511
5512 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5513 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5514 place.
5515
5516 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5517 filter fails to execute.
5518
5519 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5520 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5521 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5522 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5523 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5524
5525 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5526 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5527 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5528 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5529
5530 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5531 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5532 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5533 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5534 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5535
5536 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5537
5538 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5539 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5540 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5541 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5542
5543 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5544 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5545 sender verification.
5546
554710. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5548 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5549
555011. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5551 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5552
555312. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5554 ignore_target_hosts.
5555
555613. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5557 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5558 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5559 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5560 "[x.x.x.x]".
5561
556214. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5563 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5564 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5565
556615. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5567 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5568 wake it up if nothing else does.
5569
557016. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5571 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5572 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5573 end up negative.
5574
557517. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5576 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5577
ea3a6f44 557818. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5579
558019. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5581 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5582 empty pattern.
5583
558420. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5585 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5586 one IP address.
5587
ea3a6f44
NM
558821. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5589 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5590 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5591 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5592 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5593 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5594
ea3a6f44
NM
559522. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5596 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5597 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5598
559923. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5600 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5601 $sender_host_address.
5602
560324. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5604
ea3a6f44
NM
560525. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5606 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5607 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5608
560926. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5610 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5611
ea3a6f44
NM
561227. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5613 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5614
ea3a6f44
NM
561528. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5616 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5617 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5618 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
5619
562029. eximstats updated to version 1.35
5621 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
5622 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
5623
ea3a6f44
NM
562430. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5625 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5626 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5627 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 5628
ea3a6f44
NM
562931. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5630 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5631 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 5632
ea3a6f44
NM
563331. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5634 autoreply.
bbe902f0 5635
ea3a6f44
NM
563632. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5637 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5638 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5639 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5640 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5641 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5642 is going on).
bbe902f0 5643
ea3a6f44
NM
564433. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5645 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5646 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5647 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0
PH
5648 CAN-2005-0021
5649
ea3a6f44
NM
565034. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5651 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5652 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5653 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5654 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5655 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5656 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5657
5658 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5659 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5660 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5661 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5662 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5663 running as the user.
bbe902f0

5664 CAN-2005-0021
5665
ea3a6f44
NM
566635. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5667 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5668 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
bbe902f0

5669 CAN-2005-0022

567136. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5672 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5673 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is

5675 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 5676

567737. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5678 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5679 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5680 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5681 the caching.)
bbe902f0 5682
ea3a6f44
NM
568338. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5684 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5685 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5686 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5687 because the tests only now provoked it.

5690Exim version 4.43
5691-----------------
5692
5693 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5694 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5695 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5696 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5697 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5698 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5699 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5700
5701 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5702 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5703 the delivery.
5704
5705 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5706
5707 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5708
5709 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5710 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5711 to local_scan().
5712
5713 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5714 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5715 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5716 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5717 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5718
5719 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5720 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5721
5722 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5723
5724 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5725
572610. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5727 header_sender only.
5728
572911. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5730 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5731
573212. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5733 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5734 affecting debugging statements).
5735
573613. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5737
573814. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5739 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5740 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5741 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5742 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5743 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5744 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5745 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5746 after the received time, and all would be well.
5747
574815. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5749 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5750 condition in an expansion string.
5751
575216. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5753
575417. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5755 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5756 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5757 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5758 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5759 job under whatever limits there are.
5760
576118. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5762
576319. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5764 space).
5765
576620. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5767 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5768 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5769 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5770 return path is set.
5771
577221. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5773 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5774 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5775 binary data in such strings.
5776
577722. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5778
577923. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5780 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5781 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5782 failure, which is pointless.
5783
578424. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5785
578625. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5787
578826. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5789 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5790 Sender: header lines.
5791
579227. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5793 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5794 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5795
579628. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5797 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5798 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5799 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5800 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5801 happens.
5802
580329. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5804 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5805 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5806 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5807 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5808
580930. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5810 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5811 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5812 1024.
5813
581431. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5815 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5816
581732. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5818 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5819
582033. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5821
582232. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5823
582433. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5825
582634. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5827 syntax error.
5828
582935. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5830
583136. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5832
583337. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5834 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5835 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5836 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5837
583838. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5839 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5840
5841
5842Exim version 4.42
5843-----------------
5844
5845 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5846 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5847 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5848 it was not quoted.
5849 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5850 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5851 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5852 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5853 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5854 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5855
5856 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5857 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5858 verification failure".
5859
5860 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5861 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5862 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5863 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5864
5865 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5866 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5867 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5868 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5869 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5870 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5871 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5872 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5873 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5874 treated as a timeout.
5875
5876 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5877 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5878 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5879 not set for Exim filters).
5880
5881 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5882 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5883 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5884
5885 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5886
5887 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5888 try to make them clearer.
5889
5890 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5891 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5892
5893 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5894
5895 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5896
589710. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5898 only the Cygwin environment.
5899
590011. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5901 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5902 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5903 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5904 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5905
590612. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5907 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5908 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5909 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5910 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5911 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5912 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5913
591413. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5915 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5916
591714. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5918
5919 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5920 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5921 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5922
5923 To: susanne@some.where
5924
5925 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5926 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5927 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5928 of addresses in From: header lines).
5929
5930 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5931 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5932 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5933
5934 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5935 treated as non-personal.
5936
5937 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5938 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5939
594015. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5941
594216. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5943
594417. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5945 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5946 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5947
594818. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5949 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5950
595119. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5952 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5953 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5954 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5955 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5956 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5957
595820. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5959 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5960 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5961 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5962 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5963 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5964 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5965 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5966
5967 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5968
596921. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5970 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5971
597222. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5973 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5974 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5975
597623. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5977 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5978
597924. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5980 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5981 rather than long int.
5982
598325. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5984
598526. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5986
5987
5988Exim version 4.41
5989-----------------
5990
5991 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5992 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5993 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5994 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5995 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5996 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5997
5998
5999Exim version 4.40
6000-----------------
6001
6002 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
6003 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
6004
6005 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
6006 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
6007 socklen_t is defined.
6008
6009 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
6010 always exist.
6011
6012 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
6013 configured.
6014
6015 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
6016 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
6017 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
6018 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
6019 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
6020
6021 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
6022 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
6023 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
6024 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
6025
6026 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
6027 of flapping under certain conditions.
6028
6029 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
6030 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
6031 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
6032
6033 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
6034
603510. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
6036
603711. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
6038 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
6039 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
6040 the duration of the SMTP connection.
6041
604212. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
6043 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
6044 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
6045 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
6046 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
6047 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
6048 preserved with the message after it was received.
6049
605013. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
6051 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
6052 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
6053 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
6054 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
6055 test suite worked just fine.
6056
605714. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
6058 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
6059 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
6060
606115. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
6062 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
6063 string.
6064
606516. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
6066 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
6067 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
6068 does not fully solve it.
6069
607017. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
6071 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
6072 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
6073 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
6074 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
6075
607618. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
6077 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
6078 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
6079
608019. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
6081 string, for example:
6082
6083 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
6084
6085 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
6086 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
6087 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
6088 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
6089 the routers could not see them.
6090
609120. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
6092 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
6093
609421. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
6095 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
6096 output).
6097
609822. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
6099 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
6100 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
6101 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
6102 that needed quoting.
6103
610423. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
6105 was not being matched caselessly.
6106
610724. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
6108 backslashes.
6109
611025. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
6111 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
6112 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
6113 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
6114 when use_sender is false.
6115
611626. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
6117
611827. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
6119
612028. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
6121
612229. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
6123 the configuration file.
6124
612530. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
6126 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
6127
612831. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
6129
613032. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
6131 bytes in the message body.
6132
613333. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
6134 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
6135 delivery.
6136
613734. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
6138
613935. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
6140
614136. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
6142 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
6143 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
6144 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
6145 another IP address.
6146
6147
6148Exim version 4.34
6149-----------------
6150
6151 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
6152 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
6153
6154 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
6155 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
6156 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
6157 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
6158 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
6159
6160 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
6161 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
6162
6163 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
6164 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
6165 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
6166
6167 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
6168 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
6169 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
6170
6171 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
6172 for routers.
6173
6174 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
6175 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
6176 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
6177 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
6178 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
6179 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
6180 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
6181
6182
6183Exim version 4.33
6184-----------------
6185
6186 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
6187 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
6188 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
6189 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
6190 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
6191 default (and expected) setting.
6192
6193 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
6194 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
6195 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
6196 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
6197
6198 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
6199 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
6200
6201 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
6202 in domain lists.
6203
6204 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
6205 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
6206 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
6207 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
6208 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
6209 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
6210
6211 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
6212 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
6213 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
6214
6215 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
6216 part (NOT match_host).
6217
6218 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
6219
6220 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
6221 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
6222 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
6223 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
6224 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
6225 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
6226 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
6227 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
6228 the same named file.
6229
623010. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
6231 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
6232 when Exim is built.
6233
623411. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
6235 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
6236 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
6237 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
6238 a host name.
6239
624012. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
6241 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
6242 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
6243
624413. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
6245
624614. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
6247
624815. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
6249
625016. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
6251 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
6252
625317. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
6254 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
6255 before starting the TLS session.
6256
625718. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
6258
625919. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
6260 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
6261
626220. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
6263 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
6264 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
6265 colon in the middle).

6267
6268Exim version 4.32
6269-----------------
6270
6271 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
6272 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
6273 multiple configurations are in use.
6274
6275 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
6276 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6277 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6278 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6279 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6280 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6281
6282 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6283 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6284
6285 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6286 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6287 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6288
6289 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6290 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6291 occurs.
6292
6293 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6294 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6295
6296 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6297
6298 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6299 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6300
6301 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6302
6303 -prval:sval
6304
6305 is equivalent to
6306
6307 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6308
6309 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6310 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6311 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6312 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6313 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6314
631510. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6316 Exim's behaviour:
6317
6318 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6319 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6320 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6321 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6322 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6323 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6324
6325 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6326 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6327 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6328 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6329 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6330 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6331 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6332 string.
6333
6334 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6335 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6336 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6337 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6338 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6339
634011. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6341
634212. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6343 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6344 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6345
634613. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6347
634814. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6349 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6350 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6351 information.
6352
635315. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6354 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6355
635616. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6357 Three changes have been made:
6358
6359 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6360 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6361 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6362 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6363 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6364
6365 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6366 been restored.
6367
6368 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6369 the modified behaviour.
6370
6371
6372Exim version 4.31
6373-----------------
6374
6375 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6376 Larry Rosenman.
6377
6378 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6379 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6380
6381 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6382 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6383 try to track down a specific problem.
6384
6385 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6386 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6387 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6388
6389 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6390 warning.
6391
6392 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6393 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6394 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6395 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6396 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6397 some earlier ones do not.
6398
6399 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6400
6401 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6402 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6403 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6404 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6405 address literals are enabled, of course).
6406
6407 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6408
640910. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6410 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6411 by a command such as
6412
6413 exim -f "" ...
6414
6415 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6416
641711. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6418
641912. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6420 remained set. It is now erased.
6421
642213. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6423 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6424
642514. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6426 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6427 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6428 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6429 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6430 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6431 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6432 appropriate error code.
6433
643415. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6435 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6436 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6437 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6438 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6439 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6440
644116. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6442 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6443 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6444
644517. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6446 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6447 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6448 terminate the header.
6449
645018. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6451 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6452 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6453
645419. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6455 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6456 (4.30/29). In particular:
6457
6458 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6459 imposed.
6460
6461 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6462 to write a maildirsize file.
6463
6464 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6465 the transport, the new value overrides.
6466
6467 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6468 count.
6469
647020. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6471 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6472 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6473 space or a tab.
6474
647521. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6476 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6477 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6478 the fallback hosts.
6479
648022. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6481 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6482 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6483
648423. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6485 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6486 using a union.
6487
648824. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6489 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6490 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6491
649225. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6493
649426. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6495
649627. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6497
649828. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6499 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6500 become corrupted.
6501
650229. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6503 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6504 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6505 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6506 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6507 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6508 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6509 too great.
6510
651130. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6512 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6513 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6514 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6515 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6516 incorrectly.
6517
651831. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6519 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6520 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6521 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6522 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6523 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6524 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6525 cached value only when the same options are set.
6526
652732. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6528
652933. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6530 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6531 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6532 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6533 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6534
653534: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6536 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6537 it is clearly obsolete.
6538
653935. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6540 transport.
6541
654236. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6543 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6544 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6545 times.
6546
654737. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6548 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6549 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6550 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6551 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6552
655338. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6554 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6555 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6556 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6557
655839. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6559
6560 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6561
6562 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6563 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6564 2^31.
6565
656640. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6567 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6568 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6569 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6570 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6571 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6572 $localpart_data.
6573
657441. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6575 with the -f command-line option.
6576
657742. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6578 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6579 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6580 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6581 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6582 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6583
658443. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6585 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6586 line.
6587
658844. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6589 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6590 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6591 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6592 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6593 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6594 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6595 buffer is too small.
6596
659745. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6598 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6599
660046. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6601 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6602 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6603 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6604 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6605 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6606 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6607 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6608 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6609
661047. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6611 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6612 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6613
661448. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6615 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6616 ACL").
6617
661849. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6619 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6620 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6621 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6622 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6623
662450. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6625 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6626 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6627 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6628 is set.
6629
663051. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6631
663252. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6633
663453. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6635 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6636
663754. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6638 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6639 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6640
664155. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6642 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6643 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6644 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6645 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6646
664756. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6648 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6649 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6650 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6651 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6652 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6653 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6654
665557. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6656 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6657 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6658 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6659 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6660 the test of how many are available.
6661
666258. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6663 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6664 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6665 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6666 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6667 new message is started.
6668
666959. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6670 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6671
667260. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6673 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6674
667561. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6676 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6677 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6678 is no long logged.
6679
668062. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6681 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6682 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6683 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6684 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6685 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6686 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6687
668863. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6689 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6690 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6691 interpreted as octal.
6692
669364. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6694 setting.
6695
669665. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6697 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6698 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6699 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6700 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6701 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6702
670366. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6704 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6705 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6706 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6707
6708 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6709 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6710 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6711 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6712
6713 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6714 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6715 is a bug fix.
6716
6717 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6718 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6719
672067. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6721
672268. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6723 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6724 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6725 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6726
672769. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6728 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6729 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6730 supplied", which is not helpful.
6731
673270. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6733 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6734 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6735
673671. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6737 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6738 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6739 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6740 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6741 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6742 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6743 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6744
674572. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6746 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6747 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6748 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6749 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6750
675173. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6752 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6753 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6754 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6755 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6756 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6757
675874. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6759 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6760 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6761
676275. Added write_rejectlog option.
6763
676476. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6765 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6766 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6767 variables.
6768
676977. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6770
677178. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6772 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6773 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6774 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6775 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6776 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6777 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6778 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6779
678079. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6781 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6782 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6783 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6784 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6785
678680. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6787 Haardt.
6788
678981. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6790 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6791 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6792 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6793 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6794 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6795 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6796 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6797 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6798
6799
6800Exim version 4.30
6801-----------------
6802
6803 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6804 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6805 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6806
6807 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6808 fixed.
6809
6810 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6811 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6812 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6813
6814 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6815 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6816 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6817 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6818 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6819 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6820
6821 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6822 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6823 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6824 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6825 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6826 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6827 the Exim test suite.
6828
6829 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6830 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6831 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6832 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6833
6834 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6835 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6836 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6837 specify it in this variable.
6838
6839 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6840 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6841 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6842 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6843
6844 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6845 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6846 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6847 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6848
6849 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6850 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6851 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6852 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6853 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6854
6855 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6856
685710. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6858 they are logged.
6859
686011. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6861 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6862 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6863 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6864 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6865
686612. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6867 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6868
686913. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6870 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6871 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6872 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6873 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6874
687514. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6876 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6877
687815. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6879 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6880 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6881
688216. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6883 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6884
688517. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6886 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6887
688818. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6889 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6890 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6891
689219. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6893 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6894
689520. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6896 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6897 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6898 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6899
690021. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6901
690222. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6903 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6904 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6905 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6906
690723. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6908
690924. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6910 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6911
691225. Added .include_if_exists.
6913
691426. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6915 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6916 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6917 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6918 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6919 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6920
692127. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6922
692328. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6924 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6925 this.
6926
692729. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6928
692930. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6930 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6931
6932 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6933 550 Sender verify failed
6934
6935 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6936 the final line of the response.
6937
693831. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6939 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6940 all other user lookups.
6941
694232. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6943 delivery time.
6944
694533. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6946 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6947 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6948 result into an int without checking.
6949
695034. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6951 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6952 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6953
695435. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6955 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6956 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6957 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6958
695936. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6960 correctly.
6961
696237. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6963 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6964
696538. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6966 to the empty sender.
6967
696839. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6969 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6970 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6971 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6972 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6973 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6974 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6975 panic log.
6976
697740. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6978 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6979 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6980 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6981 used.
6982
698341. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6984 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6985
698642. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6987 timestamps.
6988
698943. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6990 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6991
699244. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6993
699445. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6995 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6996 logs.
6997
699846. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6999 as soon as it is encountered.
7000
700147. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
7002
700348. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
7004 rewritten to "<>".
7005
700649. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
7007 recognizes a tab character.
7008
700950. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
7010 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
7011 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
7012 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
7013
701451. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
7015
701652. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
7017 crash.
7018
701953. Installed eximstats 1.29.
7020
702154. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
7022
702355. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
7024 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
7025 2822.
7026
702756. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
7028 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
7029 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
7030 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
7031 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
7032
703357. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
7034 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
7035
703658. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
7037 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
7038 list (.included file names were always shown).
7039
704059. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
7041 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
7042 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
7043 root at that time.
7044
704560. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
7046 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
7047
704861. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
7049
705062. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
7051
705263. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
7053
705464. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
7055 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
7056 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
7057 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
7058 failures to open the logs.
7059
706065. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
7061 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
7062 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
7063 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
7064 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
7065 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
7066 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
7067
7068
7069Exim version 4.24
7070-----------------
7071
7072 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
7073 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
7074 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
7075 change 4.23/1.
7076
7077 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
7078 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
7079 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
7080
7081 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
7082 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
7083 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
7084
7085 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
7086 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
7087 causing some misleading effects.
7088
7089 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
7090 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
7091 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
7092
7093 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
7094 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
7095 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
7096 queue-runner function directly.
7097
7098
7099Exim version 4.23
7100-----------------
7101
7102 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
7103 HEADERS_CHARSET.
7104
7105 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
7106 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
7107 was always written to the default place.
7108
7109 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
7110 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
7111 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
7112
7113 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
7114
7115 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
7116
7117 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
7118 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
7119 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
7120
7121 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
7122 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
7123 must start.
7124
7125 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
7126 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
7127 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
7128
7129 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
7130 command line option is disabled.
7131
7132 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
7133 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
7134
7135 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
7136
7137 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
7138
7139 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
7140 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
7141
714210. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
7143
714411. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
7145 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
7146 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
7147 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
7148 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
7149 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
7150
715112. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
7152 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
7153 timeout.
7154
715513. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
7156 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
7157
715814. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
7159 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
7160
716115. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
7162 received was valid base64.
7163
716416. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
7165 name of the variable that was being set.
7166
716717. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
7168
716918. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
7170 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
7171 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
7172 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
7173 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
7174 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
7175
717619. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
7177
717820. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
7179 nor realm was specified.
7180
718121. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
7182 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
7183 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
7184 errors are given to SMTP connections.
7185
718622. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
7187 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
7188 failing to send a response to QUIT.
7189
719023. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
7191 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
7192 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
7193
719424. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
7195 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
7196 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
7197 some systems use these upper case variants.
7198
719925. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
7200 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
7201 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
7202 socket" when it tried to send the third.
7203
720426. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
7205
720627. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
7207 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
7208
720928. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
7210 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
7211 expansion variable.
7212
721329. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
7214
721530. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
7216 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
7217 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
7218 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
7219
722031. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
7221 using it.
7222
722332. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
7224 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
7225 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
7226
722733. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
7228 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
7229
723034. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
7231 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
7232 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
7233 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
7234
723535. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
7236 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
7237 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
7238
723936. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
7240
724137. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
7242 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
7243 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
7244 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
7245 aborted.
7246
724738. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
7248 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
7249 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
7250
725139. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
7252
725340. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
7254 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
7255
725641. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
7257 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
7258
725942. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
7260 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
7261 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
7262 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
7263 when emails are that large.
7264
7265
7266
7267Exim version 4.22
7268-----------------
7269
7270 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
7271 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
7272
7273 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
7274 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
7275 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
7276
7277 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7278 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7279 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7280
7281 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7282 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7283 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7284 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7285 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7286
7287 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7288 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7289 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7290 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7291 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7292 ever.
7293
7294 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7295 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7296 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7297 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7298 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7299 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7300 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7301 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7302 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7303 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7304 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7305 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7306 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7307 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7308
7309 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7310 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7311 parameterised it.
7312
7313 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7314 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7315 error should be diagnosed.
7316
7317 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7318 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7319 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7320 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7321 appeared instead of "NULL".
7322
732310. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7324 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7325 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7326 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7327 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7328 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7329 proceeds).
7330
7331 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7332 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7333 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7334
7335
7336Exim version 4.21
7337-----------------
7338
7339 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7340 or receiver verification errors.
7341
7342 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7343 name.
7344
7345 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7346 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7347 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7348 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7349
7350 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7351 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7352 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7353 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7354 shouldn't happen again.
7355
7356 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7357 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7358 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7359
7360 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7361 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7362
7363 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7364
7365 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7366 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7367
7368 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7369 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7370 RFC.
7371
737210. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7373 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7374 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7375
737611. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7377 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7378 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7379 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7380
738112. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7382 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7383 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7384 to define what should happen).
7385
738613. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7387 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7388 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7389
739014. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7391
739215. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7393
739416. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7395 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7396
4c04137d 739717. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7398 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7399 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7400 structure in all cases.
7401
7402 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7403 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7404 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7405 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7406
740718. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7408 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7409 domain name.
7410
741119. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7412 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7413
741420. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7415 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7416
741721. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7418 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7419 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7420
742122. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7422 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7423 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7424
742523. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7426 the book and for uniformity.
7427
742824. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7429
743025. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7431 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7432 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7433 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7434 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7435 non-existent command as the problem.
7436
743726. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7438 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7439 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7440
744127. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7442
744328. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7444 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7445 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7446
744729. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7448 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7449 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7450 timestamps using strftime().
7451
745230. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7453 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7454
745532. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7456 transport-time rewrites.
7457
745833. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7459 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7460 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7461 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7462
746334. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7464 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7465
746635. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7467 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7468 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7469 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7470 comma and a space.
7471
747236. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7473 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7474 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7475 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7476 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7477 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7478 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7479
748037. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7481 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7482 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7483 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7484 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7485
748638. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7487 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7488 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7489 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7490 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7491 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7492 remaining text gets split now.
7493
749439. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7495 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7496 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7497 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7498
749940. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7500 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7501 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7502 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7503 $return_path.
7504
750541. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7506 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7507 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7508 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7509 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7510 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7511 passed through if needed.
7512
751342. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7514 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7515 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7516 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7517 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7518 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7519
752043. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7521 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7522 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7523 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7524 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7525
752644. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7527 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7528 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7529 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7530 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7531
753245. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7533 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7534 noticed.
7535
753646. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7537 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7538 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7539 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7540 mayhem of various kinds.
7541
754247. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7543 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7544 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7545 the right test for positive values.
7546
754748. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7548 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7549 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7550 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7551 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7552 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7553 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7554 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7555 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7556 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7557 envelope.
7558
755949. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7560 module.
7561
756250. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7563 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7564 forbidding it.
7565
756651. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7567 the existing equality matching.
7568
756952. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7570 dealing with inode numbers.
7571
757253. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7573 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7574 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7575
757654. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7577 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7578 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7579 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7580 local_scan().
7581
758255. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7583 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7584 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7585 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7586 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7587 relay addresses has also been removed.
7588
758956. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7590
759157. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7592 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7593 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7594
759558. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7596 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7597 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7598 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7599 processing applies to CR:
7600
7601 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7602 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7603
7604 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7605 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7606 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7607 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7608
760959. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7610 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7611 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7612
761360. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7614 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7615 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7616 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7617 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7618 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7619 arisen.
7620
762161. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7622 program routers.
7623
762462. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7625 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7626 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7627 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7628 adds:
7629
7630 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7631
7632 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7633
7634 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7635
763663. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7637 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7638 not considered personal.
7639
764064. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7641
764265. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7643
764466. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7645
764667. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7647 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7648 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7649 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7650 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7651 header lines, and spool format errors.
7652
765368. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7654 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7655 for more flexibility.
7656
765769. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7658 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7659 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7660
766170. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7662 Sabourenkov.
7663
766471. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7665 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7666 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7667 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7668 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7669 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7670 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7671 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7672 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7673
767472. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7675 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7676 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7677 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7678 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7679 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7680 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7681
768273. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7683 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7684 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7685
768674. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7687 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7688 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7689 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7690 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7691 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7692 instead of killing the process with assert().
7693
769475. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7695 than Unicode encoding.
7696
769776. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7698 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7699 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7700 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7701
770277. Added process_log_path.
7703
770478. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7705 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7706
770779. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7708 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7709
771080. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7711 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7712 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7713
771481. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7715 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7716 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7717 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7718 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7719 were applied:
7720
7721 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7722 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7723 as invalid.
7724
772582. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7726 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7727 they will be used during message reception.
