11JH/01 Replace the store_release() internal interface with store_newblock(),
12 which internalises the check required to safely use the old one, plus
13 the allocate and data copy operations duplicated in both (!) of the
14 extant use locations.

16Exim version 4.90
17-----------------
18
19JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
20 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
21 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
22 pairs of long lines into single ones.
23

PP
24PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly
25 during configuration. Wildcards are allowed and expanded.

27JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.
28 This permits better logging.
29
875512a3
JH
30JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
31 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
32 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
33 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
34 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 35 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

37JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of
38 identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect
39 "exiwhat" output.

42 add noisy ifdef guards to special-case this sillyness.
43 Patch from Bernd Kuhls.

JH
45JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger
46 than 255 are no longer allowed.
47
7006ee24
JH
48JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
49 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
50 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
51 client, there is no benefit for these.
52 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
53 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
54 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
55 is used (3.2.4 +).

JH
60JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously
61 the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and
62 erroneously found still-pending ones.
63
4e910c01
JH
64JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support
65 MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections).
66
42055a33
JH
67JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a
68 transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for
69 creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
70 signature and again for transmission.
71
eeb35890
JH
72JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in
73 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit
7d758a6a 74 mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also.

JH
76JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
77 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
78 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
79 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
80 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
81 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
82 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
83
40525d07
JH
84JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
85 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
86 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 87 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
40525d07 88
f33875c3
PP
89PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
90 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
91 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
92 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
93 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
94 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
95 processing options.
96
a5ffa9b4
JH
97JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
98 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
99 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
100 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
101 connections.

103PP/05 OpenSSL/1.1: use DH_bits() for more accurate DH param sizes. This
104 affects you only if you're dancing at the edge of the param size limits.
105 If you are, and this message makes sense to you, then: raise the
106 configured limit or use OpenSSL 1.1. Nothing we can do for older
107 versions.

271JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
272 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
273 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
274 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
275 requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used

337JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
338 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
339 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
340 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
341 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
342 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
343 if one fails this test.
344 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
345 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1159TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1160
1161 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1162 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1163 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1164 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1165 the retry rules.

1167 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1168 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1169 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1170
1171 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1172 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1173 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1174 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1175
1ddeb334
TF
1176 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1177 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1178 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1179 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1180 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1181 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1182 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1183
1184 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1185 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1193 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded

1509 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1510
1511 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1512 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1513 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1514 not safe for signals.
1515
1516 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1517 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1518 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1519 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1520 exiwhat.

TF
1522TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1523
1524 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1525 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1526 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1527 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1528 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1529
1530 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1531 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1532 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1533 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1534 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1535 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1536
1537 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1538 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1539 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1540 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1541
1542 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1543 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1544 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1545 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1546
1547 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1548 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1549 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1550 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1551 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1552 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1553 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1554 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1555 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1556
1557 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1558 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1559 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1560 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1561
1562 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1563 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1564 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1565 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1566 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1567 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1568 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1569 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1570 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1571 details in the main documentation.

2122 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2143PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2144
6a3bceb1
PH
2145PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2146 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2147 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2148 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2149 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2150 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2151 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2152 for iplsearch lookups.
2153
2154 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2155 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2156 previously such lookups could never work.
2157
4c04137d 2158 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2159 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2160 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2165MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2166 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2167 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2168 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2169 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2170 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2175MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2176 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2177 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2178 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2179 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2180 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2363PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2364 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2366 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2367 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2368 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2369 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2443 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2444 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2445 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2446 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2447 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2448 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2449 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2450 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

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

2489PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)

2491 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2492 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2493 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2494 rather than extend the field.

PH
2519PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2520 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2521 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2522 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2523 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2524 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2525 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2526 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2527 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2528 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2529 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2563PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2565 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2566 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2567 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2568 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2569 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2570 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2573 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2574 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2575 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2576 function.
2577 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2578 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2579 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2580 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2581 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2582 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2583 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2584 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2585 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2591 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2592 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2593 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2594 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2595 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2596 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2597 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2600 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2602
322050c2
PH
2603PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2604 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2605 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2606 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2607 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2608 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2609 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2610 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2611 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2612 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2613 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2614 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2615 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2617PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2618 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2619 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2620 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2621 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2622 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2623 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2625PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2626 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2627 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2628 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2629 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2630 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2631 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2632 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2633 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2634 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
2636PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2639 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2640 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2642PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2643 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2644 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2645 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2646 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2647 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2648 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2653 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2654 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2655 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2656 been verified.

2691 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2692 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2693 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2694 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2695 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2696 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2697
2698 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2699 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2700 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2701 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2702 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2703 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2704 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2705 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2706 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2707
2708 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2709 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2710 hammering the server.

48c7f9e2
PH
2731PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2732 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2733 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2734 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2735 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2

2736 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2737 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2738 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2739 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the

3012 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3013 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3014 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

3098PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
3099 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3100 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3101 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3102 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3103 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3104 bounce message.

3116 literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.

3118PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be

3121 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
3122 changes:
3123
3124 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
3125 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
4c04137d 3126 suitable debugging output when -d is set.
59e82a2a

PH
3135PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3136 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3137 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3138 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3139 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3140 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3141 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3142 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
3144PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

PH
3148PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from

3150 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
3151
727071f8
PH
3152PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3153 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3154 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3155 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3156 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3157 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3158 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3159 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3160 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3257PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3258 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3259 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3260 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3261 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3262 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3263 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3264 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3265 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3266 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3277 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3278 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3279 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
3280 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in

3301PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3302 used in LMTP mode:
3303
3304 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3305 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3306 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3307 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3308
3309 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3310 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3311 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3312
3313PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3314 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3315 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3316 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3317 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

3387PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3388 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3389 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3390 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3391 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3392 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3393 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3394 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3395 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3396 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3397 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3423
3424 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
3425 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
3426 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3427 silly things.
3428
3429 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
3430 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

3454 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
3455 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
3456 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3457 identical. For example:
3458
3459 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3460
3461 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data

PH
3489PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to
3490 Electronic Mail") by including:
3491
3492 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
3493
3494 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
4c04137d 3495 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP messages, there was
456682f5
PH
3496 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
3497 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
3498 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3499
3500 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3501
3502 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3503
3504 The auto-replied keyword:
3505
3506 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3507 message by an automatic process,
3508
3509 - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
3510
3511 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
3512 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),
3513
3514 - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic
3515 processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to
3516 other messages.

3540 nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus

PH
3552PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3553 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3554 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3555 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3556 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3557 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3558 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3559 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3560 the text comparison.
3561
96776534
PH
3562PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
3563 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated

3894TK/06 MBOX spool code: Add real "From " MBOX separator line
3895 so the .eml file is really in mbox format (even though

3898TK/07 MBOX spool code: Add X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To: headers.

3903PH/08 The ${def test on a variable was returning false if the variable's

3906
3907PH/09 The syntax error of a character other than { following "${if
3908 def:variable_name" (after optional whitespace) was not being diagnosed.

PH
3935PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11
3936 above was not the best (it lost precision). The length of off_t variables
3937 is now inspected at build time, and an appropriate printing format (%ld
c6c2dc1d
PH
3938 or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T
3939 to be "long long int" or "long int". This is needed for the internal
3940 formatting function string_vformat().

PH
3942PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in
3943 the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where
3944 the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our
3945 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
3946 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
3947 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim
3948 with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it
3949 falls back to the previous guessing code."

PH
3958PH/18 If the "use_postmaster" option was set for a recipient callout together

3961 test. It is now used for both.

PH
3963PH/19 Applied Michael Haardt's patch to update Sieve to RFC3028bis. "The
3964 patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the
3965 latest draft now contains them. It adds the new en;ascii-case comparator
3966 and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and
3967 require names are now matched exactly. I enabled the subaddress
3968 extension, but it is not well tested yet (read: it works for me)."

PH
3970PH/20 Added macros for time_t as for off_t (see PH/15 above) and used them to
3971 rework some of the code of TK/09 above to avoid the hardwired use of

3980 experimental DomainKeys support:
3981
3982 (1) The filter variables $n0-$n9 and $sn0-$sn9 were broken.
3983 (2) On an error such as an illegally used "control", the wrong name for

PH
3992PH/25 Put debug statements on either side of calls to EXIM_DBOPEN() for hints
3993 databases so that it will be absolutely obvious if a crash occurs in the
3994 DB library. This is a regular occurrence (often caused by mis-matched
3995 db.h files).
3996
ff790e47 3997PH/26 Insert a lot of missing (void) casts for functions such as chown(),
f1e894f3
PH
3998 chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were
3999 picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem
4000 to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be
4001 put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have
4002 set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due
4003 course.
ff790e47 4004
5417f6d1
PH
4005PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
4006 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
4007 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
4008 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
4009 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
4010 introduced by 4.51/PH/31.
4011
59cf8544
PH
4012PH/28 Changed -d+all to exclude +memory, because that information is very

PH
4016PH/29 Removed support for the Linux-libc5 build, as it is obsolete and the

ade42478
PH
4020PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
4021 aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
4022 don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
4023 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
4024 record types that Exim uses.
4025
182ad5cf
PH
4026PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
4027 not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
4028 prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
4029 data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
4030 non-existent file that was broken.

PH
4041PH/32 In mua_wrapper mode, if an smtp transport configuration error (such as
4042 the use of a port name that isn't defined in /etc/services) occurred, the
4043 message was deferred as in a normal delivery, and thus remained on the
4044 spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This
4045 is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the
4046 same time.

SC
4048SC/08 Eximstats: whilst parsing the mainlog(s), store information about

4075PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
4076 to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
4077
4078PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4079 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4080 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4081 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4082 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4083 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4084 file.
4085
4086PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4087 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4088 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4089 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4090 these two options.
4091
4092PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4093 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4094 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4095 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4096 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4097 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4098 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4099 address.
1a46a8c5
PH
4100
4101PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
4102 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
4103
4104PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4105 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4106 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4107 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4108 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4109 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4110
4111PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
4112 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
4113 commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
4114 SMTP commands that take arguments.
4115
4116PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony
4117 Finch).

PH
4161PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
4162 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
4163 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4164 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4165 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4166 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4167 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
4168 for failure.
4169
f9b9210e
PH
4170PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
4171 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
4172 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
4173 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4174 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
4175 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
4176 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
4177 "input=".

4186
c5ddb310
PH
4187PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4188 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4189 understands it better than I do:
4190
4191 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4192 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4193
4194 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4195 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4196 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4197 => three warnings about OTP not working
4198 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4199
4200 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4201 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4202 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4203 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4204 for each call.)
4205 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4206 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4207
4208 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4209 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4210 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

4274PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4275 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4276 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4277 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4278 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4279 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4280 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4281
4282 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4283 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4284 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4285 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4286 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4287
4288 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4289 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4290 routed further.

4292PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner.
4293 It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
4294 background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
4295 connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
4296 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
4297 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

4311PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
4312 bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
4313 are as follows:

4315 (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
4316 (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
4317 (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
4318 (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
4319 (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
4320
4321 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
4322 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
4323 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

4331PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
4332 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while

4334 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4335 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4336 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4337 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4338 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4339 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

4349A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4350----------------------------------------
4351
4352Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4353changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4354needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4355in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4356that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4357release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4358from 4.43.
4359
4360I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
43614.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4362those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4363historical information.

4381 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4382 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4383 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4384 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4385 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

4387 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
4388
4389 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4390 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4391 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4392 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

4394 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4395 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4396 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4397 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4398 control that does not make sense is encountered.

443922. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4440 ignore_target_hosts.
4441
444223. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4443 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4444 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4445 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4446 "[x.x.x.x]".
4447
7d468ab8
PH
444824. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4449 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4450 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4451
445225. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4453 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4454 wake it up if nothing else does.
4455
62c0818f
PH
445626. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4457 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4458 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4459 end up negative.
4460
26034054
PH

PH
446629. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4467 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4468 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4469 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4470 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4471 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4472 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4473 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
4474
d8ef3577
PH
447530. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
4476 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
4477 than one IP address.
4478
5cb8cbc6
PH
447931. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4480 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
4481 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
4482 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
4483

PH
448432. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4485 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4486 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4487 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4488 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4489 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4490
063b1e99
PH
449133. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4492 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4493 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4494 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4495
652e1b65
PH
449634. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4497 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4498 respected.
4499
6f0c9a4f
PH
450035. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4501 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4502 $sender_host_address.

33397d19
PH
450436. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4505 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4506 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4507 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4508 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4509 very small.
4510
7bb56e1f
PH
451137. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
4512
4513 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
4514 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
4515
ea3bc19b
PH
4516 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
4517 just the host names, not the priorities.
4518
4519 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19

4520 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
4521 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 4522
ea3bc19b 4523 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 4524 multiple records are returned.

4528 domain.

4547 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the

457352. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4574 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4575 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4576 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4577 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4578 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4579 is going on).

PH
458654. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
4587 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
4588 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
4589
4590 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
4591 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
4592 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
4593 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
4594 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
4595 so I produce this patch..."
4596
3295e65b
PH
4597 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
4598 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
4599 is not defined.

4603 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4604 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

4616

4618 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
4619 of $primary_hostname.

b975ba52
PH
462160. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4622 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4623 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4624 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
4625 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4626 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4627 by change 4.50/55 above.
4628
4629 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4630 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4631 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4632 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4633 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4634 running as the user.

4656 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4657 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4658 the caching.)
4659
533244af
PH
466066. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
4661
a5a28604
PH
466267. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
4663 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
4664 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
4665 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
4666
7e634d24
PH
466768. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
4668 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
4669
3e11c26b
PH
467069. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
4671 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
4672 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
4673
6729cf78
PH
467470. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
4675 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
4676 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
4677 message there.
4678
00f00ca5
PH
467971. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
4680 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
4681 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
4682
c9bdd01c
PH
468372. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
4684 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
4685 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
4686 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
4687
d43194df
PH
468873. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
4689 during host lookups.
4690
fe5b5d0b
PH
469174. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
4692 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
4693
4694 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
4695
76a2d7ba
PH
469675. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
4697 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
4698 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
4699 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
4700 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
4701 background.
4702
470376. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
4704 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
4705
04f7d5b9
PH
470677. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
4707 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
4708 for the non-SMTP ACL.
4709
bc60667e
PH
471078. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
4711
bb6e88ff
PH
471279. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
4713 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
4714 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
4715 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
4716 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
4717 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
4718 process earlier.
4719
1e70f85b
PH
472080. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
4721 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
4722 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
4723 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
4724 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
4725
472681. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
4727 tables).
4728
4e01f9d6
PH
472982. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith.

473183. Patch from Sieve maintainer to fix unterminated string problem in
4732 "vacation" handling.

473484. Some minor changes to the Linux configuration files to help with other
4735 OS variants using glibc.
4736

4740----------------------------------------------------
4741See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
4742----------------------------------------------------
4743
4744
4745Exim version 4.44
4746-----------------
4747
4748 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
4749 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
4750 transport
4751
4752 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
4753 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
4754 place.
4755
4756 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4757 filter fails to execute.
4758
4759 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4760 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4761 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4762 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4763 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4764
4765 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4766 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4767 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4768 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
4769
4770 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4771 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4772 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4773 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4774 control that does not make sense is encountered.
4775
4776 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
4777
4778 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
4779 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
4780 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
4781 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
4782
4783 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4784 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4785 sender verification.
4786
478710. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
4788 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
4789
479011. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
4791 the spool by the -Mrm option.
4792
479312. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4794 ignore_target_hosts.
4795
479613. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4797 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4798 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4799 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4800 "[x.x.x.x]".
4801
480214. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4803 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4804 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4805
480615. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4807 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4808 wake it up if nothing else does.
4809
481016. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4811 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4812 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4813 end up negative.
4814
481517. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4816 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
4817
ea3a6f44 481818. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
4819
482019. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
4821 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
4822 empty pattern.
4823
482420. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
4825 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
4826 one IP address.
4827
ea3a6f44
NM
482821. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4829 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4830 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4831 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4832 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4833 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 4834
ea3a6f44
NM
483522. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4836 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4837 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
4838
483923. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4840 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4841 $sender_host_address.
4842
484324. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
4844
ea3a6f44
NM
484525. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4846 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4847 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
4848
484926. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 4850 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 4851
ea3a6f44
NM
485227. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4853 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 4854
ea3a6f44
NM
485528. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4856 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4857 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4858 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
4859
486029. eximstats updated to version 1.35
4861 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
4862 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
4863
ea3a6f44
NM
486430. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4865 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4866 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4867 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 4868
ea3a6f44
NM
486931. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4870 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4871 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 4872
ea3a6f44
NM
487331. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
4874 autoreply.
bbe902f0 4875
ea3a6f44
NM
487632. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4877 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4878 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4879 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4880 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4881 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4882 is going on).
bbe902f0 4883
ea3a6f44
NM
488433. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4885 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
4886 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4887 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0
PH
4888 CAN-2005-0021
4889
ea3a6f44
NM
489034. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4891 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4892 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4893 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
4894 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4895 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4896 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
4897
4898 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4899 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4900 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4901 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4902 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4903 running as the user.
bbe902f0
PH
4904 CAN-2005-0021
4905
ea3a6f44
NM
490635. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4907 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
4908 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
bbe902f0
PH
4909 CAN-2005-0022
4910
ea3a6f44
NM
491136. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4912 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4913 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4914 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4915 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 4916
ea3a6f44
NM
491737. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4918 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4919 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4920 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4921 the caching.)
bbe902f0 4922
ea3a6f44
NM
492338. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4924 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4925 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4926 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4927 because the tests only now provoked it.

4930Exim version 4.43
4931-----------------
4932
4933 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
4934 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
4935 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
4936 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
4937 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
4938 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
4939 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
4940
4941 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
4942 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
4943 the delivery.
4944
4945 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
4946
4947 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
4948
4949 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
4950 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
4951 to local_scan().
4952
4953 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
4954 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
4955 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
4956 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
4957 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
4958
4959 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
4960 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
4961
4962 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
4963
4964 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
4965
496610. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
4967 header_sender only.
4968
496911. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
4970 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
4971
497212. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
4973 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
4974 affecting debugging statements).
4975
497613. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
4977
497814. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
4979 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
4980 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
4981 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
4982 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
4983 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
4984 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
4985 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
4986 after the received time, and all would be well.
4987
498815. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
4989 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
4990 condition in an expansion string.
4991
499216. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
4993
499417. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
4995 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
4996 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
4997 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
4998 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
4999 job under whatever limits there are.
5000
500118. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5002
500319. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5004 space).
5005
500620. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5007 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5008 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5009 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5010 return path is set.
5011
501221. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5013 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5014 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5015 binary data in such strings.
5016
501722. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5018
501923. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5020 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5021 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5022 failure, which is pointless.
5023
502424. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5025
502625. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5027
502826. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5029 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5030 Sender: header lines.
5031
503227. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5033 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5034 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5035
503628. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5037 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5038 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5039 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5040 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5041 happens.
5042
504329. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5044 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5045 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5046 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5047 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5048
504930. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5050 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5051 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5052 1024.
5053
505431. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5055 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5056
505732. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5058 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5059
506033. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5061
506232. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5063
506433. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5065
506634. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5067 syntax error.
5068
506935. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5070
507136. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5072
507337. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5074 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5075 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5076 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5077
507838. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5079 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5080
5081
5082Exim version 4.42
5083-----------------
5084
5085 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5086 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5087 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5088 it was not quoted.
5089 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5090 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5091 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5092 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5093 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5094 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5095
5096 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5097 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5098 verification failure".
5099
5100 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5101 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5102 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5103 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5104
5105 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5106 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5107 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5108 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5109 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5110 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5111 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5112 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5113 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5114 treated as a timeout.
5115
5116 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5117 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5118 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5119 not set for Exim filters).
5120
5121 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5122 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5123 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5124
5125 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5126
5127 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5128 try to make them clearer.
5129
5130 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5131 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5132
5133 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5134
5135 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5136
513710. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5138 only the Cygwin environment.
5139
514011. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5141 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5142 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5143 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5144 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5145
514612. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5147 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5148 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5149 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5150 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5151 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5152 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5153
515413. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5155 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5156
515714. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5158
5159 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5160 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5161 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5162
5163 To: susanne@some.where
5164
5165 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5166 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5167 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5168 of addresses in From: header lines).
5169
5170 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5171 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5172 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5173
5174 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5175 treated as non-personal.
5176
5177 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5178 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5179
518015. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5181
518216. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5183
518417. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5185 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5186 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5187
518818. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5189 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5190
519119. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5192 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5193 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5194 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5195 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5196 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5197
519820. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5199 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5200 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5201 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5202 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5203 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5204 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5205 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5206
5207 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5208
520921. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5210 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5211
521222. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5213 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5214 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5215
521623. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5217 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5218
521924. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5220 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5221 rather than long int.
5222
522325. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5224
522526. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5226
5227
5228Exim version 4.41
5229-----------------
5230
5231 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5232 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5233 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5234 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5235 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5236 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5237
5238
5239Exim version 4.40
5240-----------------
5241
5242 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5243 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5244
5245 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5246 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5247 socklen_t is defined.
5248
5249 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5250 always exist.
5251
5252 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5253 configured.
5254
5255 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5256 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5257 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5258 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5259 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5260
5261 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5262 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5263 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5264 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5265
5266 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5267 of flapping under certain conditions.
5268
5269 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5270 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5271 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5272
5273 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5274
527510. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5276
527711. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5278 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5279 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5280 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5281
528212. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5283 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5284 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5285 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5286 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5287 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5288 preserved with the message after it was received.
5289
529013. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5291 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5292 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5293 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5294 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5295 test suite worked just fine.
5296
529714. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5298 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5299 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5300
530115. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5302 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5303 string.
5304
530516. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5306 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5307 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5308 does not fully solve it.
5309
531017. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5311 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5312 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5313 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5314 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5315
531618. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5317 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5318 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5319
532019. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5321 string, for example:
5322
5323 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5324
5325 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5326 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5327 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5328 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5329 the routers could not see them.
5330
533120. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5332 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5333
533421. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5335 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5336 output).
5337
533822. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5339 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5340 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5341 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5342 that needed quoting.
5343
534423. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5345 was not being matched caselessly.
5346
534724. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5348 backslashes.
5349
535025. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5351 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5352 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5353 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5354 when use_sender is false.
5355
535626. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5357
535827. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5359
536028. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5361
536229. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5363 the configuration file.
5364
536530. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5366 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5367
536831. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5369
537032. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5371 bytes in the message body.
5372
537333. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5374 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5375 delivery.
5376
537734. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5378
537935. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5380
538136. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5382 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5383 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5384 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5385 another IP address.
5386
5387
5388Exim version 4.34
5389-----------------
5390
5391 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5392 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5393
5394 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5395 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5396 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5397 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5398 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5399
5400 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5401 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5402
5403 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5404 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5405 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5406
5407 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5408 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5409 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5410
5411 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5412 for routers.
5413
5414 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5415 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5416 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5417 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5418 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5419 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5420 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5421
5422
5423Exim version 4.33
5424-----------------
5425
5426 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5427 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5428 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5429 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5430 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5431 default (and expected) setting.
5432
5433 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5434 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5435 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5436 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5437
5438 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5439 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5440
5441 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5442 in domain lists.
5443
5444 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5445 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5446 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5447 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5448 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5449 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5450
5451 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5452 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5453 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5454
5455 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5456 part (NOT match_host).
5457
5458 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5459
5460 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5461 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5462 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5463 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5464 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5465 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5466 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5467 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5468 the same named file.
5469
547010. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5471 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5472 when Exim is built.
5473
547411. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5475 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5476 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5477 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5478 a host name.
5479
548012. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5481 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5482 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5483
548413. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5485
548614. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5487
548815. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5489
549016. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5491 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5492
549317. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5494 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5495 before starting the TLS session.
5496
549718. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5498
549919. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5500 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5501
550220. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5503 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5504 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5505 colon in the middle).
5506
5507
5508Exim version 4.32
5509-----------------
5510
5511 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5512 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5513 multiple configurations are in use.
5514
5515 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5516 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5517 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5518 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5519 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5520 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5521
5522 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5523 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5524
5525 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5526 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5527 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5528
5529 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5530 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5531 occurs.
5532
5533 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
5534 that used bh_ and bheader_.
5535
5536 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
5537
5538 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
5539 allowing one more file than it should have been.
5540
5541 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
5542
5543 -prval:sval
5544
5545 is equivalent to
5546
5547 -oMr rval -oMs sval
5548
5549 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
5550 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
5551 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
5552 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
5553 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
5554
555510. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
5556 Exim's behaviour:
5557
5558 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
5559 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
5560 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
5561 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
5562 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
5563 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
5564
5565 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
5566 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
5567 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
5568 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
5569 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
5570 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
5571 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
5572 string.
5573
5574 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
5575 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
5576 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
5577 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
5578 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
5579
558011. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
5581
558212. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
5583 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
5584 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
5585
558613. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
5587
558814. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
5589 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
5590 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
5591 information.
5592
559315. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
5594 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
5595
559616. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
5597 Three changes have been made:
5598
5599 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
5600 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
5601 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
5602 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
5603 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
5604
5605 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
5606 been restored.
5607
5608 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
5609 the modified behaviour.
5610
5611
5612Exim version 4.31
5613-----------------
5614
5615 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
5616 Larry Rosenman.
5617
5618 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
5619 indeed breaks things for older releases.
5620
5621 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
5622 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
5623 try to track down a specific problem.
5624
5625 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
5626 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
5627 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
5628
5629 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
5630 warning.
5631
5632 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
5633 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
5634 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
5635 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
5636 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
5637 some earlier ones do not.
5638
5639 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
5640
5641 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
5642 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
5643 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5644 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
5645 address literals are enabled, of course).
5646
5647 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
5648
564910. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
5650 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
5651 by a command such as
5652
5653 exim -f "" ...
5654
5655 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
5656
565711. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
5658
565912. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
5660 remained set. It is now erased.
5661
566213. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
5663 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
5664
566514. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
5666 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
5667 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
5668 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
5669 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
5670 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
5671 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
5672 appropriate error code.
5673
567415. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
5675 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
5676 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
5677 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
5678 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
5679 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
5680
568116. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
5682 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
5683 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
5684
568517. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
5686 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
5687 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
5688 terminate the header.
5689
569018. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
5691 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
5692 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
5693
569419. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
5695 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
5696 (4.30/29). In particular:
5697
5698 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
5699 imposed.
5700
5701 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
5702 to write a maildirsize file.
5703
5704 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
5705 the transport, the new value overrides.
5706
5707 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
5708 count.
5709
571020. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
5711 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
5712 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
5713 space or a tab.
5714
571521. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
5716 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
5717 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
5718 the fallback hosts.
5719
572022. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
5721 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
5722 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
5723
572423. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
5725 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
5726 using a union.
5727
572824. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
5729 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
5730 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
5731
573225. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
5733
573426. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
5735
573627. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
5737
573828. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
5739 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
5740 become corrupted.
5741
574229. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
5743 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
5744 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
5745 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
5746 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
5747 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
5748 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
5749 too great.
5750
575130. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
5752 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
5753 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
5754 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
5755 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
5756 incorrectly.
5757
575831. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
5759 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
5760 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
5761 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
5762 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
5763 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
5764 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
5765 cached value only when the same options are set.
5766
576732. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
5768
576933. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
5770 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
5771 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
5772 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
5773 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
5774
577534: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
5776 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
5777 it is clearly obsolete.
5778
577935. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
5780 transport.
5781
578236. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
5783 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
5784 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
5785 times.
5786
578737. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
5788 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
5789 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
5790 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
5791 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
5792
579338. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
5794 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
5795 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
5796 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
5797
579839. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
5799
5800 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
5801
5802 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
5803 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
5804 2^31.
5805
580640. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
5807 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
5808 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
5809 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
5810 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
5811 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
5812 $localpart_data.
5813
581441. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
5815 with the -f command-line option.
5816
581742. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
5818 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
5819 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
5820 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
5821 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
5822 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5823
582443. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
5825 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
5826 line.
5827
582844. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
5829 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
5830 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
5831 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
5832 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
5833 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
5834 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
5835 buffer is too small.
5836
583745. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
5838 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
5839
584046. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
5841 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
5842 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
5843 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
5844 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
5845 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
5846 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
5847 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
5848 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
5849
585047. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
5851 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
5852 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
5853
585448. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
5855 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
5856 ACL").
5857
585849. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
5859 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
5860 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
5861 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
5862 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
5863
586450. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
5865 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
5866 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
5867 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
5868 is set.
5869
587051. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
5871
587252. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
5873
587453. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
5875 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
5876
587754. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
5878 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
5879 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
5880
588155. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
5882 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
5883 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
5884 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
5885 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
5886
588756. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
5888 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
5889 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
5890 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
5891 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
5892 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
5893 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
5894
589557. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
5896 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
5897 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
5898 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
5899 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
5900 the test of how many are available.
5901
590258. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
5903 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
5904 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 5905 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
5906 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
5907 new message is started.
5908
590959. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
5910 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
5911
591260. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
5913 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
5914
591561. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
5916 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
5917 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
5918 is no long logged.
5919
592062. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
5921 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
5922 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
5923 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
5924 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
5925 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
5926 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
5927
592863. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
5929 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
5930 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
5931 interpreted as octal.
5932
593364. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
5934 setting.
5935
593665. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
5937 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
5938 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
5939 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
5940 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
5941 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
5942
594366. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
5944 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
5945 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
5946 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
5947
5948 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
5949 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
5950 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
5951 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
5952
5953 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
5954 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
5955 is a bug fix.
5956
5957 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
5958 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
5959
596067. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5961
596268. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
5963 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
5964 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
5965 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
5966
596769. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
5968 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
5969 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
5970 supplied", which is not helpful.
5971
597270. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
5973 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
5974 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
5975
597671. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
5977 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
5978 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
5979 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
5980 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
5981 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
5982 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
5983 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
5984
598572. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
5986 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
5987 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
5988 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
5989 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
5990
599173. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
5992 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
5993 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
5994 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 5995 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
5996 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
5997
599874. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
5999 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6000 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6001
600275. Added write_rejectlog option.
6003
600476. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6005 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6006 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6007 variables.
6008
600977. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6010
601178. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6012 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6013 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6014 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6015 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6016 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6017 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6018 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6019
602079. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6021 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6022 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6023 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6024 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6025
602680. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6027 Haardt.
6028
602981. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6030 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6031 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6032 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6033 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6034 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6035 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6036 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6037 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6038
6039
6040Exim version 4.30
6041-----------------
6042
6043 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6044 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6045 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6046
6047 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6048 fixed.
6049
6050 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6051 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6052 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6053
6054 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6055 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6056 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6057 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6058 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6059 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6060
6061 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6062 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6063 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6064 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6065 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6066 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6067 the Exim test suite.
6068
6069 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6070 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6071 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6072 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6073
6074 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6075 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6076 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6077 specify it in this variable.
6078
6079 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6080 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6081 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6082 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6083
6084 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6085 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6086 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6087 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6088
6089 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6090 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6091 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6092 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6093 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6094
6095 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6096
609710. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6098 they are logged.
6099
610011. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6101 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6102 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6103 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6104 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6105
610612. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6107 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6108
610913. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6110 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6111 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6112 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6113 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6114
611514. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6116 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6117
611815. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6119 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6120 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6121
612216. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6123 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6124
612517. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6126 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6127
612818. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6129 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6130 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6131
613219. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6133 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6134
613520. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6136 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6137 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6138 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6139
614021. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6141
614222. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6143 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6144 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6145 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6146
614723. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6148
614924. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6150 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6151
615225. Added .include_if_exists.
6153
615426. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6155 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6156 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6157 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6158 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6159 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6160
616127. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6162
616328. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6164 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6165 this.
6166
616729. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6168
616930. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6170 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6171
6172 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6173 550 Sender verify failed
6174
6175 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6176 the final line of the response.
6177
617831. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6179 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6180 all other user lookups.
6181
618232. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6183 delivery time.
6184
618533. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6186 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6187 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6188 result into an int without checking.
6189
619034. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6191 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6192 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6193
619435. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6195 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6196 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6197 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6198
619936. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6200 correctly.
6201
620237. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6203 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6204
620538. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6206 to the empty sender.
6207
620839. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6209 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6210 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6211 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6212 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6213 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6214 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6215 panic log.
6216
621740. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6218 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6219 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6220 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6221 used.
6222
622341. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6224 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6225
622642. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6227 timestamps.
6228
622943. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6230 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6231
623244. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6233
623445. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6235 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6236 logs.
6237
623846. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6239 as soon as it is encountered.
6240
624147. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6242
624348. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6244 rewritten to "<>".
6245
624649. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6247 recognizes a tab character.
6248
624950. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6250 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6251 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6252 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6253
625451. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6255
625652. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6257 crash.
6258
625953. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6260
626154. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6262
626355. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6264 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6265 2822.
6266
626756. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6268 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6269 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6270 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6271 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6272
627357. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6274 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6275
627658. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6277 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6278 list (.included file names were always shown).
6279
628059. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6281 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6282 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6283 root at that time.
6284
628560. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6286 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6287
628861. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6289
629062. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6291
629263. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6293
629464. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6295 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6296 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6297 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6298 failures to open the logs.
6299
630065. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6301 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6302 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6303 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6304 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6305 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6306 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6307
6308
6309Exim version 4.24
6310-----------------
6311
6312 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6313 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6314 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6315 change 4.23/1.
6316
6317 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6318 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6319 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6320
6321 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6322 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6323 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6324
6325 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6326 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6327 causing some misleading effects.
6328
6329 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6330 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6331 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6332
6333 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6334 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6335 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6336 queue-runner function directly.
6337
6338
6339Exim version 4.23
6340-----------------
6341
6342 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6343 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6344
6345 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6346 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6347 was always written to the default place.
6348
6349 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6350 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6351 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6352
6353 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6354
6355 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6356
6357 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6358 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6359 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6360
6361 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6362 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6363 must start.
6364
6365 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6366 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6367 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6368
6369 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6370 command line option is disabled.
6371
6372 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6373 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6374
6375 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6376
6377 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6378
6379 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6380 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6381
638210. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6383
638411. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6385 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6386 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6387 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6388 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6389 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6390
639112. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6392 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6393 timeout.
6394
639513. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6396 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6397
639814. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6399 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6400
640115. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6402 received was valid base64.
6403
640416. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6405 name of the variable that was being set.
6406
640717. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6408
640918. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6410 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6411 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6412 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6413 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6414 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6415
641619. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6417
641820. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6419 nor realm was specified.
6420
642121. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6422 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6423 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6424 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6425
642622. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6427 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6428 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6429
643023. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6431 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6432 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6433
643424. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6435 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6436 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6437 some systems use these upper case variants.
6438
643925. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6440 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6441 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6442 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6443
644426. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6445
644627. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6447 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6448
644928. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6450 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6451 expansion variable.
6452
645329. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6454
645530. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6456 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6457 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6458 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6459
646031. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6461 using it.
6462
646332. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6464 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6465 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6466
646733. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6468 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6469
647034. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6471 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6472 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6473 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6474
647535. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6476 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6477 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6478
647936. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6480
648137. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6482 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6483 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6484 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6485 aborted.
6486
648738. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6488 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6489 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6490
649139. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6492
649340. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6494 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6495
649641. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6497 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6498
649942. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6500 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6501 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6502 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6503 when emails are that large.
6504
6505
6506
6507Exim version 4.22
6508-----------------
6509
6510 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6511 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6512
6513 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6514 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6515 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6516
6517 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6518 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6519 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6520
6521 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6522 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6523 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6524 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6525 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6526
6527 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6528 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6529 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6530 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6531 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6532 ever.
6533
6534 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
6535 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
6536 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
6537 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
6538 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
6539 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
6540 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
6541 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
6542 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
6543 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
6544 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
6545 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
6546 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
6547 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
6548
6549 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
6550 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
6551 parameterised it.
6552
6553 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
6554 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
6555 error should be diagnosed.
6556
6557 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
6558 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
6559 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
6560 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
6561 appeared instead of "NULL".
6562
656310. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
6564 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
6565 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
6566 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
6567 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
6568 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
6569 proceeds).
6570
6571 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
6572 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
6573 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
6574
6575
6576Exim version 4.21
6577-----------------
6578
6579 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
6580 or receiver verification errors.
6581
6582 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
6583 name.
6584
6585 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
6586 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
6587 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
6588 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
6589
6590 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
6591 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
6592 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
6593 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
6594 shouldn't happen again.
6595
6596 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
6597 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
6598 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
6599
6600 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
6601 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
6602
6603 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
6604
6605 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
6606 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
6607
6608 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
6609 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
6610 RFC.
6611
661210. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
6613 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
6614 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
6615
661611. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
6617 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
6618 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
6619 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
6620
662112. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
6622 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
6623 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
6624 to define what should happen).
6625
662613. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
6627 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
6628 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
6629
663014. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
6631
663215. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
6633
663416. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
6635 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
6636
4c04137d 663717. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
6638 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
6639 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
6640 structure in all cases.
6641
6642 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
6643 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
6644 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
6645 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
6646
664718. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
6648 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
6649 domain name.
6650
665119. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
6652 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
6653
665420. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
6655 MD5 (which is deprecated).
6656
665721. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
6658 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
6659 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
6660
666122. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
6662 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
6663 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
6664
666523. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
6666 the book and for uniformity.
6667
666824. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
6669
667025. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 6671 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
6672 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
6673 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
6674 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
6675 non-existent command as the problem.
6676
667726. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
6678 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
6679 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
6680
668127. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
6682
668328. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
6684 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
6685 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
6686
668729. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
6688 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
6689 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
6690 timestamps using strftime().
6691
669230. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
6693 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
6694
669532. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
6696 transport-time rewrites.
6697
669833. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
6699 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
6700 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
6701 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
6702
670334. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
6704 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
6705
670635. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
6707 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
6708 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
6709 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
6710 comma and a space.
6711
671236. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
6713 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
6714 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
6715 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
6716 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
6717 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
6718 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
6719
672037. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
6721 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
6722 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
6723 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
6724 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
6725
672638. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
6727 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
6728 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
6729 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
6730 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
6731 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
6732 remaining text gets split now.
6733
673439. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
6735 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
6736 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
6737 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
6738
673940. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
6740 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
6741 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
6742 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
6743 $return_path.
6744
674541. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
6746 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
6747 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
6748 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
6749 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
6750 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
6751 passed through if needed.
6752
675342. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
6754 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
6755 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
6756 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
6757 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
6758 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
6759
676043. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
6761 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
6762 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
6763 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
6764 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
6765
676644. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
6767 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
6768 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
6769 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
6770 incorrect size information for certain domains.
6771
677245. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
6773 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
6774 noticed.
6775
677646. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
6777 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
6778 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
6779 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
6780 mayhem of various kinds.
6781
678247. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
6783 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 6784 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
6785 the right test for positive values.
6786
678748. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
6788 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
6789 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
6790 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
6791 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
6792 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
6793 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
6794 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
6795 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
6796 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
6797 envelope.
6798
679949. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
6800 module.
6801
680250. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
6803 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
6804 forbidding it.
6805
680651. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
6807 the existing equality matching.
6808
680952. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
6810 dealing with inode numbers.
6811
681253. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
6813 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
6814 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
6815
681654. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
6817 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
6818 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
6819 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
6820 local_scan().
6821
682255. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
6823 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
6824 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
6825 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
6826 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
6827 relay addresses has also been removed.
6828
682956. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
6830
683157. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
6832 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
6833 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
6834
683558. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
6836 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
6837 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
6838 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
6839 processing applies to CR:
6840
6841 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
6842 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
6843
6844 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
6845 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
6846 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
6847 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
6848
684959. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
6850 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
6851 This is a VOB (very old bug).
6852
685360. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
6854 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
6855 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
6856 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
6857 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
6858 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
6859 arisen.
6860
686161. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
6862 program routers.
6863
686462. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
6865 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
6866 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
6867 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
6868 adds:
6869
6870 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
6871
6872 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
6873
6874 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
6875
687663. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
6877 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
6878 not considered personal.
6879
688064. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
6881
688265. Added queue_only_override (default true).
6883
688466. Added the syslog_duplication option.
6885
688667. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
6887 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
6888 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
6889 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
6890 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
6891 header lines, and spool format errors.
6892
689368. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
6894 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
6895 for more flexibility.
6896
689769. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
6898 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
6899 consulting and updating the callout cache.
6900
690170. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
6902 Sabourenkov.
6903
690471. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
6905 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
6906 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
6907 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
6908 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
6909 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
6910 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
6911 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
6912 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
6913
691472. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
6915 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
6916 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
6917 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
6918 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
6919 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
6920 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
6921
692273. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
6923 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
6924 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
6925
692674. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
6927 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
6928 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
6929 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
6930 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
6931 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
6932 instead of killing the process with assert().
6933
693475. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
6935 than Unicode encoding.
6936
693776. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
6938 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
6939 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
6940 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
6941
694277. Added process_log_path.
6943
694478. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
6945 check_log_inodes was ignored.
6946
694779. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
6948 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
6949
695080. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
6951 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
6952 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
6953
695481. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
6955 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
6956 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
6957 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
6958 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
6959 were applied:
6960
6961 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
6962 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
6963 as invalid.
6964
696582. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
6966 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
6967 they will be used during message reception.
