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

8Exim version 4.90
9-----------------
10
11JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
12 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
13 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
14 pairs of long lines into single ones.
15
856d1e16
PP
16PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly
17 during configuration. Wildcards are allowed and expanded.

JH
19JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.
20 This permits better logging.
21
875512a3
JH
22JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
23 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
24 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
25 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
26 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 27 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.
875512a3 28

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

4c04137d 45 than -2003 did; needs libidn2 in addition to libidn.

52JH/03 Bug 2003: fix Proxy Protocol v2 handling: the address size field was
53 missing a wire-to-host endian conversion.
54

JH
55JH/04 Bug 2004: fix CHUNKING in non-PIPELINEING mode. Chunk data following
56 close after a BDAT command line could be taken as a following command,
57 giving a synch failure. Fix by only checking for synch immediately
58 before acknowledging the chunk.
59

60PP/02 GitHub PR 52: many spelling fixes, which include fixing parsing of
61 no_require_dnssec option and creation of _HAVE_TRANSPORT_APPEND_MAILDIR
62 macro. Patches provided by Josh Soref.
63

JH
64JH/05 Have the EHLO response advertise VRFY, if there is a vrfy ACL defined.
65 Previously we did not; the RFC seems ambiguous and VRFY is not listed
66 by IANA as a service extension. However, John Klensin suggests that we
67 should.
68
69JH/06 Bug 2017: Fix DKIM verification in -bh test mode. The data feed into
b895f4b2
JH
70 the dkim code may be unix-mode line endings rather than smtp wire-format
71 CRLF, so prepend a CR to any bare LF.
fd047340 72
bd8fbe36 73JH/07 Rationalise the coding for callout smtp conversations and transport ones.
902fbd69
JH
74 As a side-benfit, callouts can now use PIPELINING hence fewer round-trips.
75
bd8fbe36
JH
76JH/08 Bug 2016: Fix DKIM verification vs. CHUNKING. Any BDAT commands after
77 the first were themselves being wrongly included in the feed into dkim
78 processing; with most chunk sizes in use this resulted in an incorrect
79 body hash calculated value.
80
eea19017
JH
81JH/09 Bug 2014: permit inclusion of a DKIM-Signature header in a received
82 DKIM signature block, for verification. Although advised against by
83 standards it is specifically not ruled illegal.
84

JH
85JH/10 Bug 2025: Fix reception of (quoted) local-parts with embedded spaces.
86
87JH/11 Bug 2029: Fix crash in DKIM verification when a message signature block is
88 missing a body hash (the bh= tag).
89
90JH/12 Bug 2018: Re-order Proxy Protocol startup versus TLS-on-connect startup.
91 It seems that HAProxy sends the Proxy Protocol information in clear and
92 only then does a TLS startup, so do the same.
93
94JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
95 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
96 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
97 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
98 requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used
99 by non-daemon-related Exim processes.
100
101JH/14 Bug 2000: Reject messages recieved with CHUNKING but with malformed line
102 endings, at least on the first header line. Try to canonify any that get
103 past that check, despite the cost.
104
b6040544
JH
105JH/15 Angle-bracket nesting (an error inserted by broken sendmails) levels are
106 now limited to an arbitrary five deep, while parsing addresses with the
107 strip_excess_angle_brackets option enabled.

109PP/03 Bug 2018: For Proxy Protocol and TLS-on-connect, do not over-read and
110 instead leave the unprompted TLS handshake in socket buffer for the
111 TLS library to consume.

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

125PP/06 Drop '.' from @INC in various Perl scripts.

129PP/08 Reduce a number of compilation warnings under clang; building with
130 CC=clang CFLAGS+=-Wno-dangling-else -Wno-logical-op-parentheses
131 should be warning-free.

153JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination
154 supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one).
8d042305 155

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

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

385 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
386 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
4c04137d 387 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx response.

982TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
983
984 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
985 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
986 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
987 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
988 the retry rules.
989
990 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
991 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
992 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
993
994 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
995 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
996 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
997 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
998
1ddeb334
TF
999 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1000 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1001 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1002 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1003 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1004 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1005 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1006
1007 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1008 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1016 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1017 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1018 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1019 username as equal to the username.

1048 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

1330TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1331 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1332 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1333
1334 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1335 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1336 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1337 not safe for signals.
1338
1339 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1340 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1341 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1342 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1343 exiwhat.
1344
c99ce5c9
TF
1345TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1346
1347 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1348 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1349 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1350 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1351 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1352
1353 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1354 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1355 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1356 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1357 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1358 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1359
1360 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1361 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1362 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1363 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1364
1365 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1366 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1367 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1368 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1369
1370 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1371 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1372 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1373 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1374 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1375 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1376 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1377 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1378 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1379
1380 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1381 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1382 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1383 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1384
1385 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1386 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1387 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1388 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1389 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1390 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1391 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1392 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1393 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1394 details in the main documentation.

1944 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1945 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1947 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering

1964-----------------
1965
1966PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1967
6a3bceb1
PH
1968PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1969 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1970 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1971 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1972 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1973 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1974 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1975 for iplsearch lookups.
1976
1977 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1978 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1979 previously such lookups could never work.
1980
4c04137d 1981 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
1982 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1983 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1988MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1989 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1990 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1991 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1992 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1993 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
1998MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1999 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2000 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2001 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2002 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2003 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

PH
2186PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2187 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2188 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2189 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2190 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2191 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2192 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2204PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in

2207 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2208 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
2209 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
2210 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

PH
2266 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2267 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2268 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2269 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2270 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2271 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2272 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2273 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2284PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2285 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2286
2287 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2288 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2289
2290 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2291 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2292 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2293
2294 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2295 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2296 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2297 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2298 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2315 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2316 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2317 rather than extend the field.

2323TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
2324 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
2325 While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
2326 filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
2327 these files.

2329TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
2330 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
2331 triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
2332
2333TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
2334 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
2335 hence the _LINUX specificness.

2337TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,

2339 header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
2340 in the field name.

PH
2342PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2343 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2344 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2345 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2346 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2347 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2348 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2349 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2350 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2351 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2352 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2386PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
2387 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
2388 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2389 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2390 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2391 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2392 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2393 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 2395PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 2396 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2397 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2398 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2399 function.
2400 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2401 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2402 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2403 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2404 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2405 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2406 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2407 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2408 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2413PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2414 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2415 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2416 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2417 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2418 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2419 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2420 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2422PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to
2423 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
2424 list.
2425
322050c2
PH
2426PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2427 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2428 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2429 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2430 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2431 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2432 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2433 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2434 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2435 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2436 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2437 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2438 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
2440PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2441 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2442 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2443 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2444 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2445 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2446 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2448PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2449 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2450 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2451 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2452 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2453 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2454 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2455 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2456 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2457 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

602e59e5
PH
2459PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2460 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2461 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2462 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2463 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

411ef850
PH
2465PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2466 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2467 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2468 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2469 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2470 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2471 RSA_EXPORT functionality.
2472
7befa435
PH
2473PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
2474 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
2475 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
2476 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2477 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2478 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2479 been verified.

2510
2511PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2512 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2513 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2514 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2515 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2516 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2517 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2518 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2519 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2520
2521 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2522 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2523 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2524 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2525 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2526 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2527 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2528 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2529 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2530
2531 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2532 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2533 hammering the server.

2548PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2549 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

2551 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2552 fails.
2553
48c7f9e2
PH
2554PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2555 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2556 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2557 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2558 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
2559 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2560 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2561 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2562 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2563 smtp transport.

2831PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".

2833 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2834 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2835 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2836 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2837 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2838 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2839 451 error is used.

2875PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2876 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2877 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2878 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2879 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2880 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2881 addresses as local.

2922 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
2923 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
2924 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
2925 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that

2958PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
2959 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2960 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2961 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2962 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2963 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2964 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2965 values from the SRV records were lost.

2967PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

2974
727071f8
PH
2975PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2976 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2977 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2978 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2979 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2980 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2981 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2982 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2983 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

3083 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3084 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3085 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3086 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3087 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3088 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3089 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3097PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
3098 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
3099 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
3100 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3101 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3102 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
3103 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
3104 the variable.

3124PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3125 used in LMTP mode:
3126
3127 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3128 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3129 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3130 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3131
3132 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3133 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3134 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3135
3136PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3137 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3138 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3139 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3140 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

3210PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3211 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3212 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3213 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3214 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3215 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3216 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3217 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3218 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3219 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3220 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3243
3244 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
3245 string.
3246
3247 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
3248 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
3249 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3250 silly things.
3251
3252 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
3253 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

3276PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
3277 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
3278 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
3279 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3280 identical. For example:
3281
3282 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3283
3284 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
3285 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
3286 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

PH
3319 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of

3377 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3378 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3379 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3380 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3381 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3382 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3383 the text comparison.

3500PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius

3884PH/33 Patch from the Cygwin maintainer to add "b" to all occurences of
3885 fopen() in the content-scanning modules that did not already have it.

3888Exim version 4.51
3889-----------------
3890
1a46a8c5
PH
3891TK/01 Added Yahoo DomainKeys support via libdomainkeys. See
3892 doc/experimental-spec.txt for details. (http://domainkeys.sf.net)
3893
2f079f46 3894TK/02 Fix ACL "control" statement not being available in MIME ACL.
1a46a8c5
PH
3895
3896TK/03 Fix ACL "regex" condition not being available in MIME ACL.
3897
3898PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
3899 to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
3900
3901PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
3902 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
3903 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3904 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3905 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3906 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3907 file.
3908
3909PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3910 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3911 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3912 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3913 these two options.
3914
3915PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3916 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3917 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3918 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3919 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3920 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3921 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3922 address.
1a46a8c5
PH
3923
3924PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
3925 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
3926
3927PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3928 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3929 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3930 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3931 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3932 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
3933
3934PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
3935 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
3936 commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
3937 SMTP commands that take arguments.
3938
3939PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony
3940 Finch).
3941
3942PH/09 Previously, an attempt to use ${perl when it wasn't compiled gave an
3943 "unknown" error; now it says that the functionality isn't in the binary.
8d67ada3 3944
49c2d5ea
PH
3945PH/10 Added a nasty fudge to try to recognize and flatten LDAP passwords in
3946 an address' error message when a string expansion fails (syntax or
f331f3b6
PH
3947 whatever). Otherwise the password may appear in the log. Following change
3948 PH/42 below, there is no longer a chance of it appearing in a bounce
3949 message.

PH
3956PH/13 If "headers_add" in a transport didn't end in a newline, Exim printed
3957 the result incorrectly in the debug output. (It correctly added a newline
3958 to what was transported.)

PH
3962PH/14 Modified the default configuration to add an acl_smtp_data ACL, with
3963 commented out examples of how to interface to a virus scanner and to

3965 spamd_address settings.

2f079f46
PH
3967PH/15 Further to TK/02 and TK/03 above, tidied up the tables of what conditions
3968 and controls are allowed in which ACLs. There were a couple of minor
3969 errors. Some of the entries in the conditions table (which is a table of
3970 where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a
3971 negation of where the condition IS allowed.

3973PH/16 Installed updated OS/os.c-cygwin from the Cygwin maintainer.

7766a4f0
PH
3975PH/17 The API for radiusclient changed at release 0.4.0. Unfortunately, the
3976 header file does not have a version number, so I've had to invent a new
3977 value for RADIUS_LIB_TYPE, namely "RADIUSCLIENTNEW" to request the new
3978 API. The code is untested by me (my Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of
3979 radiusclient), but it was contributed by a Radius user.
3980

PH
3981PH/18 Installed Lars Mainka's patch for the support of CRL collections in
3982 files or directories, for OpenSSL.
3983
901f42cb
PH
3984PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
3985 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
3986 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
3987 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3988 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
3989 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
3990 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
3991 for failure.
3992
f9b9210e
PH
3993PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
3994 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
3995 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
3996 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
3997 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
3998 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
3999 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
4000 "input=".

4007PH/23 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was expanding server_hostname, but then
4008 forgetting to use the resulting value; it was using the unexpanded value.
4009
c5ddb310
PH
4010PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4011 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4012 understands it better than I do:
4013
4014 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4015 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4016
4017 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4018 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4019 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4020 => three warnings about OTP not working
4021 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4022
4023 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4024 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4025 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4026 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4027 for each call.)
4028 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4029 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4030
4031 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4032 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4033 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

PH
4039PH/26 Change scripts/os-type so that when "uname -s" returns just "GNU", the
4040 answer is "GNU", and only if the return is "GNU/something" is the answer
4041 "Linux".
4042
475fe28a
PH
4043PH/27 $acl_verify_message is now set immediately after the failure of a
4044 verification in an ACL, and so is available in subsequent modifiers. In
4045 particular, the message can be preserved by coding like this:
4046
4047 warn !verify = sender
4048 set acl_m0 = $acl_verify_message
4049
4050 Previously, $acl_verify_message was set only while expanding "message"
4051 and "log_message" when a very denied access.

4054
4055 -#ifndef OS_LOAD_AVERAGE
4056 +#if !defined(OS_LOAD_AVERAGE) && defined(__linux__)
4057
4058 to make Exim compile on kfreebsd-gnu. (I'm totally confused about the
4059 nomenclature these days.)

PH
4061PH/29 Installed patch from the Sieve maintainer that adds the options
4062 sieve_useraddress and sieve_subaddress to the redirect router.
4063
5ca2a9a1
PH
4064PH/30 In these circumstances:
4065 . Two addresses routed to the same list of hosts;
4066 . First host does not offer TLS;
4067 . First host accepts first address;
4068 . First host gives temporary error to second address;
4069 . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established;
4070 . Second host accepts second address.
4071 Exim incorrectly logged both deliveries with the TLS parameters (cipher
4072 and peerdn, if requested) that were in fact used only for the second
4073 address.
7e8bec7a 4074
c688b954
PH
4075PH/31 When doing a callout as part of verifying an address, Exim was not paying
4076 attention to any local part prefix or suffix that was matched by the
4077 router that accepted the address. It now behaves in the same way as it
4078 does for delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless
4079 rcpt_include_affixes is set on the transport.

ebb6e6d5
PH
4087PH/34 Change 4.50/80 broke Exim in that it could no longer handle cases where
4088 the uid or gid is negative. A case of a negative gid caused this to be
4089 noticed. The fix allows for either to be negative.

9c4e8f60
PH
4091PH/35 ACL_WHERE_MIME is now declared unconditionally, to avoid too much code
4092 clutter, but the tables that are indexed by ACL_WHERE_xxx values had been
4093 overlooked.
4094
4095PH/36 The change PH/12 above was broken. Fixed it.
4096
d7174846
PH
4097PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4098 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4099 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4100 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4101 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4102 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4103 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4104
4105 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4106 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4107 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4108 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4109 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4110
4111 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4112 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4113 routed further.

PH
4115PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner.
4116 It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
4117 background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
4118 connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
4119 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
4120 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

PH
4124PH/40 The value set for $authenticated_id in an authenticator may not contain
4125 binary zeroes or newlines because the value is written to log lines and
4126 to spool files. There was no check on this. Now the value is run through
4127 the string_printing() function so that such characters are converted to
4128 printable escape sequences.

PH
4134PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
4135 bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
4136 are as follows:
4137
4138 (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
4139 (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
4140 (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
4141 (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
4142 (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
4143
4144 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
4145 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
4146 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

4153
2e2a30b4
PH
4154PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
4155 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
4156 writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
4157 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4158 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4159 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4160 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4161 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4162 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
4163 the log output.

PH
4165PH/46 The "scripts/Configure-config.h" script calls "make" at one point. On
4166 systems where "make" and "gmake" are different, calling "gmake" at top

4168 from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of
4169 "make".

4172A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4173----------------------------------------
4174
4175Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4176changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4177needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4178in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4179that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4180release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4181from 4.43.
4182
4183I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
41844.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4185those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4186historical information.

PH
4192 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file.
4193
139059f6 4194 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the

PH
4197 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The

4199 place.
4200

4201 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4202 filter fails to execute.
4203
b668c215
PH
4204 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4205 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4206 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4207 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4208 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4209
a494b1e1
PH
4210 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
4211
4212 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4213 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4214 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4215 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

PH
4217 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4218 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4219 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4220 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4221 control that does not make sense is encountered.

4226
eb2c0248
PH
422711. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
4228 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
4229 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
4230 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.

2a3eea10
PH
423212. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4233 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4234 sender verification.
4235
423613. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
4237 $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.

926e1192
PH
424416. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
4245 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)

PH
425520. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
4256 handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
4257 CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).

PH
426222. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4263 ignore_target_hosts.
4264
426523. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4266 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4267 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4268 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4269 "[x.x.x.x]".
4270
7d468ab8
PH
427124. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4272 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4273 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4274
427525. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4276 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4277 wake it up if nothing else does.
4278
62c0818f
PH
427926. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4280 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4281 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4282 end up negative.
4283
26034054
PH
428427. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4285 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.

af66f652
PH
428728. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
4288
90af77f4
PH
428929. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4290 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4291 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4292 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4293 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4294 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4295 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4296 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
4297
d8ef3577
PH
429830. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
4299 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
4300 than one IP address.
4301
5cb8cbc6
PH
430231. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4303 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
4304 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
4305 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
4306
14702f5b
PH
430732. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4308 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4309 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4310 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4311 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4312 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4313
063b1e99
PH
431433. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4315 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4316 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4317 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4318
652e1b65
PH
431934. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4320 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4321 respected.
4322
6f0c9a4f
PH
432335. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4324 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4325 $sender_host_address.
4326
33397d19
PH
432736. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4328 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4329 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4330 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4331 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4332 very small.
4333
7bb56e1f
PH
433437. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
4335
4336 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
4337 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
4338
ea3bc19b
PH
4339 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
4340 just the host names, not the priorities.
4341
4342 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
4343 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
4344 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 4345
ea3bc19b 4346 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 4347 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 4348
0bcb2a0e
PH
434938. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
4350 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
4351 domain.
4352
2ac0e484
PH
435339. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
4354
4e1fde53
PH
435540. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
4356 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
4357
de365ded
PH
435841. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4359 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4360 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
4361
f05da2e8
PH
436242. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.

d6453af2
PH
436443. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
4365
f7b63901
PH
436644. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
4367
436845. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4369 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4370 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4371 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4372 because the tests only now provoked it.
4373
a444213a
PH
437446. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4375 (this can affect the format of dates).
4376
0ec020ea
PH
437747. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4378 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4379 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4380 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
4381
b1206957
PH
438248. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
4383
438449. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4385 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4386 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4387 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
4388
26dd5a95
PH
438950. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4390 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4391 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
4392
343b2385
PH
439351. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
4394 autoreply.
4395
1c5466b9
PH
439652. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4397 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4398 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4399 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4400 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4401 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4402 is going on).
4403
55ee9ee3
PH
440453. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
4405 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
4406 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
4407 the line.
4408
d38f8232
PH
440954. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
4410 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
4411 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
4412
4413 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
4414 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
4415 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
4416 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
4417 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
4418 so I produce this patch..."
4419
3295e65b
PH
4420 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
4421 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
4422 is not defined.
4423
7102e136
PH
442455. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4425 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
4426 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4427 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

PH
443056. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.

c2bcbe20
PH
443257. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
4433 long debug lines gets shown.
4434
18ce445d
PH
443558. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
4436 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
4437
1f5b4c3d
PH
443859. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
4439
4440 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
4441 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
4442 of $primary_hostname.
4443
b975ba52
PH
444460. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4445 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4446 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4447 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
4448 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4449 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4450 by change 4.50/55 above.
4451
4452 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4453 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4454 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4455 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4456 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4457 running as the user.

PH
4459
446061. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4461 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
4462 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 4463 CAN-2005-0022

PH
446562. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
4466 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
4467
d95f9fdb
PH
446863. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4469 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4470 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4471 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4472 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
4473
86b8287f
PH
447464. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
4475 This has been fixed.
4476
60dc5e56
PH
447765. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4478 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4479 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4480 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4481 the caching.)
4482
533244af
PH
448366. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
4484
a5a28604
PH
448567. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
4486 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
4487 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
4488 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
4489
7e634d24
PH
449068. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
4491 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
4492
3e11c26b
PH
449369. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
4494 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
4495 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
4496
6729cf78
PH
449770. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
4498 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
4499 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
4500 message there.
4501
00f00ca5
PH
450271. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
4503 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
4504 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
4505
c9bdd01c
PH
450672. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
4507 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
4508 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
4509 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
4510
d43194df
PH
451173. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
4512 during host lookups.
4513
fe5b5d0b
PH
451474. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
4515 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
4516
4517 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
4518
76a2d7ba
PH
451975. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
4520 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
4521 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
4522 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
4523 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
4524 background.
4525
452676. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
4527 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
4528
04f7d5b9
PH
452977. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
4530 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
4531 for the non-SMTP ACL.
4532
bc60667e
PH
453378. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
4534
bb6e88ff
PH
453579. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
4536 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
4537 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
4538 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
4539 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
4540 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
4541 process earlier.
4542
1e70f85b
PH
454380. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
4544 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
4545 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
4546 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
4547 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
4548
454981. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
4550 tables).

4563----------------------------------------------------
4564See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
4565----------------------------------------------------
4566
4567
4568Exim version 4.44
4569-----------------
4570
4571 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
4572 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
4573 transport
4574
4575 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
4576 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
4577 place.
4578
4579 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4580 filter fails to execute.
4581
4582 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4583 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4584 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4585 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4586 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4587
4588 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4589 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4590 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4591 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
4592
4593 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4594 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4595 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4596 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4597 control that does not make sense is encountered.
4598
4599 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
4600
4601 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
4602 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
4603 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
4604 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
4605
4606 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4607 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4608 sender verification.
4609
461010. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
4611 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
4612
461311. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
4614 the spool by the -Mrm option.
4615
461612. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4617 ignore_target_hosts.
4618
461913. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4620 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4621 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4622 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4623 "[x.x.x.x]".
4624
462514. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4626 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4627 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4628
462915. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4630 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4631 wake it up if nothing else does.
4632
463316. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4634 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4635 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4636 end up negative.
4637
463817. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4639 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
4640
ea3a6f44 464118. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
4642
464319. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
4644 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
4645 empty pattern.
4646
464720. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
4648 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
4649 one IP address.
4650
ea3a6f44
NM
465121. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4652 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4653 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4654 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4655 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4656 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 4657
ea3a6f44
NM
465822. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4659 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4660 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
4661
466223. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4663 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4664 $sender_host_address.
4665
466624. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
4667
ea3a6f44
NM
466825. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4669 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4670 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
4671
467226. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 4673 As per change 25.

4676 (this can affect the format of dates).

467828. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4679 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4680 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4681 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.

468730. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4688 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4689 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4690 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.

469932. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4700 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4701 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4702 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4703 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4704 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4705 is going on).

470733. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4708 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
4709 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4710 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

471334. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4714 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4715 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4716 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
4717 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4718 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4719 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
4720
4721 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4722 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4723 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4724 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4725 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4726 running as the user.

473436. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4735 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4736 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4737 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4738 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.

474037. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4741 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4742 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4743 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4744 the caching.)

4749 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare

4753Exim version 4.43
4754-----------------
4755
4756 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
4757 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
4758 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
4759 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
4760 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
4761 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
4762 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
4763
4764 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
4765 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
4766 the delivery.
4767
4768 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
4769
4770 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
4771
4772 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
4773 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
4774 to local_scan().
4775
4776 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
4777 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
4778 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
4779 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
4780 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
4781
4782 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
4783 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
4784
4785 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
4786
4787 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
4788
478910. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
4790 header_sender only.
4791
479211. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
4793 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
4794
479512. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
4796 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
4797 affecting debugging statements).
4798
479913. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
4800
480114. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
4802 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
4803 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
4804 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
4805 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
4806 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
4807 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
4808 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
4809 after the received time, and all would be well.
4810
481115. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
4812 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
4813 condition in an expansion string.
4814
481516. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
4816
481717. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
4818 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
4819 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
4820 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
4821 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
4822 job under whatever limits there are.
4823
482418. Imported PCRE 5.0.
4825
482619. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
4827 space).
4828
482920. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
4830 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
4831 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
4832 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
4833 return path is set.
4834
483521. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
4836 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
4837 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
4838 binary data in such strings.
4839
484022. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
4841
484223. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
4843 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
4844 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
4845 failure, which is pointless.
4846
484724. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
4848
484925. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
4850
485126. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
4852 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
4853 Sender: header lines.
4854
485527. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
4856 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
4857 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
4858
485928. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
4860 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
4861 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
4862 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
4863 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
4864 happens.
4865
486629. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
4867 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
4868 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
4869 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
4870 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
4871
487230. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
4873 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
4874 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
4875 1024.
4876
487731. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
4878 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
4879
488032. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
4881 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
4882
488333. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
4884
488532. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
4886
488733. Added an ACL for QUIT.
4888
488934. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
4890 syntax error.
4891
489235. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
4893
489436. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
4895
489637. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
4897 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
4898 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
4899 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
4900
490138. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
4902 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
4903
4904
4905Exim version 4.42
4906-----------------
4907
4908 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
4909 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
4910 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
4911 it was not quoted.
4912 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
4913 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
4914 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
4915 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
4916 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
4917 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
4918
4919 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
4920 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
4921 verification failure".
4922
4923 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
4924 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
4925 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
4926 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
4927
4928 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
4929 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
4930 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
4931 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
4932 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
4933 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
4934 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
4935 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
4936 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
4937 treated as a timeout.
4938
4939 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
4940 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
4941 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
4942 not set for Exim filters).
4943
4944 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
4945 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
4946 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
4947
4948 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
4949
4950 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
4951 try to make them clearer.
4952
4953 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
4954 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
4955
4956 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
4957
4958 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
4959
496010. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
4961 only the Cygwin environment.
4962
496311. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
4964 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
4965 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
4966 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
4967 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
4968
496912. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
4970 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
4971 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
4972 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
4973 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
4974 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
4975 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
4976
497713. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
4978 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
4979
498014. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
4981
4982 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
4983 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
4984 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
4985
4986 To: susanne@some.where
4987
4988 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
4989 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
4990 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
4991 of addresses in From: header lines).
4992
4993 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
4994 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
4995 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
4996
4997 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
4998 treated as non-personal.
4999
5000 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5001 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5002
500315. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5004
500516. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5006
500717. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5008 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5009 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5010
501118. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5012 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5013
501419. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5015 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5016 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5017 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5018 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5019 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5020
502120. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5022 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5023 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5024 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5025 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5026 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5027 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5028 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5029
5030 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5031
503221. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5033 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5034
503522. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5036 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5037 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5038
503923. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5040 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5041
504224. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5043 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5044 rather than long int.
5045
504625. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5047
504826. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5049
5050
5051Exim version 4.41
5052-----------------
5053
5054 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5055 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5056 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5057 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5058 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5059 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5060
5061
5062Exim version 4.40
5063-----------------
5064
5065 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5066 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5067
5068 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5069 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5070 socklen_t is defined.
5071
5072 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5073 always exist.
5074
5075 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5076 configured.
5077
5078 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5079 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5080 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5081 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5082 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5083
5084 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5085 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5086 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5087 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5088
5089 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5090 of flapping under certain conditions.
5091
5092 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5093 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5094 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5095
5096 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5097
509810. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5099
510011. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5101 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5102 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5103 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5104
510512. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5106 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5107 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5108 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5109 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5110 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5111 preserved with the message after it was received.
5112
511313. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5114 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5115 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5116 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5117 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5118 test suite worked just fine.
5119
512014. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5121 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5122 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5123
512415. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5125 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5126 string.
5127
512816. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5129 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5130 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5131 does not fully solve it.
5132
513317. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5134 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5135 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5136 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5137 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5138
513918. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5140 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5141 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5142
514319. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5144 string, for example:
5145
5146 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5147
5148 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5149 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5150 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5151 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5152 the routers could not see them.
5153
515420. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5155 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5156
515721. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5158 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5159 output).
5160
516122. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5162 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5163 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5164 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5165 that needed quoting.
5166
516723. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5168 was not being matched caselessly.
5169
517024. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5171 backslashes.
5172
517325. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5174 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5175 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5176 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5177 when use_sender is false.
5178
517926. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5180
518127. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5182
518328. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5184
518529. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5186 the configuration file.
5187
518830. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5189 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5190
519131. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5192
519332. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5194 bytes in the message body.
5195
519633. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5197 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5198 delivery.
5199
520034. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5201
520235. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5203
520436. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5205 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5206 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5207 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5208 another IP address.
5209
5210
5211Exim version 4.34
5212-----------------
5213
5214 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5215 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5216
5217 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5218 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5219 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5220 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5221 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5222
5223 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5224 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5225
5226 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5227 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5228 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5229
5230 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5231 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5232 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5233
5234 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5235 for routers.
5236
5237 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5238 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5239 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5240 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5241 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5242 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5243 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5244
5245
5246Exim version 4.33
5247-----------------
5248
5249 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5250 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5251 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5252 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5253 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5254 default (and expected) setting.
5255
5256 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5257 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5258 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5259 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5260
5261 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5262 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5263
5264 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5265 in domain lists.
5266
5267 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5268 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5269 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5270 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5271 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5272 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5273
5274 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5275 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5276 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5277
5278 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5279 part (NOT match_host).
5280
5281 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5282
5283 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5284 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5285 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5286 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5287 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5288 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5289 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5290 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5291 the same named file.
5292
529310. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5294 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5295 when Exim is built.
5296
529711. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5298 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5299 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5300 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5301 a host name.
5302
530312. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5304 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5305 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5306
530713. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5308
530914. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5310
531115. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5312
531316. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5314 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5315
531617. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5317 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5318 before starting the TLS session.
5319
532018. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5321
532219. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5323 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5324
532520. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5326 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5327 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5328 colon in the middle).
5329
5330
5331Exim version 4.32
5332-----------------
5333
5334 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5335 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5336 multiple configurations are in use.
5337
5338 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5339 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5340 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5341 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5342 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5343 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5344
5345 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5346 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5347
5348 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5349 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5350 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5351
5352 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5353 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5354 occurs.
5355
5356 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
5357 that used bh_ and bheader_.
5358
5359 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
5360
5361 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
5362 allowing one more file than it should have been.
5363
5364 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
5365
5366 -prval:sval
5367
5368 is equivalent to
5369
5370 -oMr rval -oMs sval
5371
5372 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
5373 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
5374 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
5375 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
5376 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
5377
537810. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
5379 Exim's behaviour:
5380
5381 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
5382 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
5383 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
5384 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
5385 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
5386 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
5387
5388 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
5389 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
5390 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
5391 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
5392 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
5393 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
5394 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
5395 string.
5396
5397 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
5398 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
5399 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
5400 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
5401 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
5402
540311. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
5404
540512. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
5406 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
5407 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
5408
540913. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
5410
541114. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
5412 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
5413 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
5414 information.
5415
541615. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
5417 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
5418
541916. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
5420 Three changes have been made:
5421
5422 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
5423 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
5424 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
5425 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
5426 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
5427
5428 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
5429 been restored.
5430
5431 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
5432 the modified behaviour.
5433
5434
5435Exim version 4.31
5436-----------------
5437
5438 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
5439 Larry Rosenman.
5440
5441 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
5442 indeed breaks things for older releases.
5443
5444 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
5445 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
5446 try to track down a specific problem.
5447
5448 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
5449 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
5450 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
5451
5452 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
5453 warning.
5454
5455 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
5456 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
5457 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
5458 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
5459 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
5460 some earlier ones do not.
5461
5462 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
5463
5464 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
5465 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
5466 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5467 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
5468 address literals are enabled, of course).
5469
5470 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
5471
547210. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
5473 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
5474 by a command such as
5475
5476 exim -f "" ...
5477
5478 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
5479
548011. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
5481
548212. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
5483 remained set. It is now erased.
5484
548513. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
5486 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
5487
548814. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
5489 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
5490 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
5491 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
5492 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
5493 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
5494 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
5495 appropriate error code.
5496
549715. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
5498 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
5499 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
5500 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
5501 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
5502 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
5503
550416. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
5505 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
5506 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
5507
550817. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
5509 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
5510 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
5511 terminate the header.
5512
551318. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
5514 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
5515 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
5516
551719. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
5518 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
5519 (4.30/29). In particular:
5520
5521 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
5522 imposed.
5523
5524 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
5525 to write a maildirsize file.
5526
5527 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
5528 the transport, the new value overrides.
5529
5530 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
5531 count.
5532
553320. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
5534 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
5535 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
5536 space or a tab.
5537
553821. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
5539 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
5540 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
5541 the fallback hosts.
5542
554322. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
5544 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
5545 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
5546
554723. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
5548 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
5549 using a union.
5550
555124. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
5552 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
5553 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
5554
555525. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
5556
555726. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
5558
555927. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
5560
556128. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
5562 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
5563 become corrupted.
5564
556529. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
5566 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
5567 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
5568 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
5569 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
5570 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
5571 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
5572 too great.
5573
557430. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
5575 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
5576 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
5577 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
5578 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
5579 incorrectly.
5580
558131. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
5582 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
5583 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
5584 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
5585 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
5586 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
5587 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
5588 cached value only when the same options are set.
5589
559032. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
5591
559233. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
5593 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
5594 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
5595 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
5596 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
5597
559834: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
5599 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
5600 it is clearly obsolete.
5601
560235. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
5603 transport.
5604
560536. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
5606 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
5607 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
5608 times.
5609
561037. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
5611 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
5612 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
5613 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
5614 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
5615
561638. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
5617 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
5618 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
5619 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
5620
562139. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
5622
5623 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
5624
5625 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
5626 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
5627 2^31.
5628
562940. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
5630 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
5631 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
5632 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
5633 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
5634 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
5635 $localpart_data.
5636
563741. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
5638 with the -f command-line option.
5639
564042. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
5641 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
5642 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
5643 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
5644 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
5645 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5646
564743. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
5648 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
5649 line.
5650
565144. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
5652 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
5653 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
5654 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
5655 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
5656 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
5657 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
5658 buffer is too small.
5659
566045. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
5661 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
5662
566346. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
5664 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
5665 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
5666 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
5667 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
5668 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
5669 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
5670 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
5671 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
5672
567347. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
5674 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
5675 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
5676
567748. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
5678 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
5679 ACL").
5680
568149. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
5682 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
5683 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
5684 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
5685 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
5686
568750. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
5688 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
5689 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
5690 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
5691 is set.
5692
569351. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
5694
569552. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
5696
569753. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
5698 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
5699
570054. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
5701 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
5702 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
5703
570455. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
5705 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
5706 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
5707 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
5708 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
5709
571056. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
5711 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
5712 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
5713 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
5714 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
5715 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
5716 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
5717
571857. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
5719 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
5720 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
5721 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
5722 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
5723 the test of how many are available.
5724
572558. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
5726 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
5727 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 5728 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
5729 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
5730 new message is started.
5731
573259. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
5733 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
5734
573560. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
5736 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
5737
573861. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
5739 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
5740 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
5741 is no long logged.
5742
574362. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
5744 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
5745 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
5746 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
5747 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
5748 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
5749 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
5750
575163. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
5752 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
5753 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
5754 interpreted as octal.
5755
575664. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
5757 setting.
5758
575965. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
5760 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
5761 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
5762 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
5763 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
5764 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
5765
576666. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
5767 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
5768 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
5769 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
5770
5771 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
5772 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
5773 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
5774 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
5775
5776 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
5777 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
5778 is a bug fix.
5779
5780 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
5781 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
5782
578367. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5784
578568. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
5786 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
5787 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
5788 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
5789
579069. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
5791 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
5792 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
5793 supplied", which is not helpful.
5794
579570. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
5796 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
5797 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
5798
579971. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
5800 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
5801 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
5802 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
5803 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
5804 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
5805 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
5806 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
5807
580872. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
5809 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
5810 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
5811 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
5812 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
5813
581473. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
5815 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
5816 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
5817 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 5818 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
5819 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
5820
582174. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
5822 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
5823 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
5824
582575. Added write_rejectlog option.
5826
582776. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
5828 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
5829 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
5830 variables.
5831
583277. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
5833
583478. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
5835 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
5836 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
5837 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
5838 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
5839 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
5840 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
5841 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
5842
584379. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
5844 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
5845 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
5846 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
5847 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
5848
584980. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
5850 Haardt.
5851
585281. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
5853 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
5854 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
5855 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
5856 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
5857 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
5858 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
5859 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
5860 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
5861
5862
5863Exim version 4.30
5864-----------------
5865
5866 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
5867 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
5868 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
5869
5870 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
5871 fixed.
5872
5873 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
5874 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
5875 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
5876
5877 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
5878 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
5879 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
5880 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
5881 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 5882 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
5883
5884 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
5885 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
5886 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
5887 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
5888 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
5889 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
5890 the Exim test suite.
5891
5892 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
5893 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
5894 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
5895 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
5896
5897 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
5898 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
5899 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
5900 specify it in this variable.
5901
5902 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
5903 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
5904 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
5905 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
5906
5907 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
5908 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
5909 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
5910 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
5911
5912 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
5913 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
5914 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
5915 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
5916 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
5917
5918 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
5919
592010. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
5921 they are logged.
5922
592311. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
5924 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
5925 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
5926 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
5927 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
5928
592912. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
5930 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
5931
593213. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
5933 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 5934 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
5935 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
5936 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
5937
593814. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
5939 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
5940
594115. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
5942 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5943 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
5944
594516. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
5946 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
5947
594817. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
5949 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
5950
595118. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
5952 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
5953 to get rid of the compiler warning.
5954
595519. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
5956 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
5957
595820. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
5959 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
5960 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
5961 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
5962
596321. Added the -t option to exigrep.
5964
596522. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
5966 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
5967 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
5968 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
5969
597023. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
5971
597224. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
5973 line; previously there was no indication of these.
5974
597525. Added .include_if_exists.
5976
597726. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
5978 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
5979 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
5980 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
5981 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
5982 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
5983
598427. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
5985
598628. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
5987 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
5988 this.
5989
599029. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
5991
599230. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
5993 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
5994
5995 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
5996 550 Sender verify failed
5997
5998 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
5999 the final line of the response.
6000
600131. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6002 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6003 all other user lookups.
6004
600532. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6006 delivery time.
6007
600833. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6009 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6010 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6011 result into an int without checking.
6012
601334. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6014 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6015 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6016
601735. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6018 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6019 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6020 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6021
602236. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6023 correctly.
6024
602537. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6026 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6027
602838. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6029 to the empty sender.
6030
603139. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6032 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6033 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6034 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6035 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6036 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6037 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6038 panic log.
6039
604040. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6041 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6042 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6043 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6044 used.
6045
604641. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6047 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6048
604942. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6050 timestamps.
6051
605243. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6053 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6054
605544. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6056
605745. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6058 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6059 logs.
6060
606146. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6062 as soon as it is encountered.
6063
606447. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6065
606648. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6067 rewritten to "<>".
6068
606949. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6070 recognizes a tab character.
6071
607250. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6073 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6074 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6075 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6076
607751. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6078
607952. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6080 crash.
6081
608253. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6083
608454. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6085
608655. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6087 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6088 2822.
6089
609056. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6091 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6092 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6093 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6094 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6095
609657. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6097 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6098
609958. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6100 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6101 list (.included file names were always shown).
6102
610359. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6104 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6105 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6106 root at that time.
6107
610860. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6109 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6110
611161. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6112
611362. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6114
611563. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6116
611764. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6118 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6119 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6120 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6121 failures to open the logs.
6122
612365. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6124 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6125 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6126 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6127 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6128 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6129 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6130
6131
6132Exim version 4.24
6133-----------------
6134
6135 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6136 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6137 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6138 change 4.23/1.
6139
6140 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6141 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6142 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6143
6144 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6145 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6146 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6147
6148 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6149 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6150 causing some misleading effects.
6151
6152 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6153 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6154 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6155
6156 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6157 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6158 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6159 queue-runner function directly.
6160
6161
6162Exim version 4.23
6163-----------------
6164
6165 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6166 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6167
6168 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6169 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6170 was always written to the default place.
6171
6172 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6173 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6174 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6175
6176 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6177
6178 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6179
6180 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6181 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6182 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6183
6184 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6185 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6186 must start.
6187
6188 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6189 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6190 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6191
6192 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6193 command line option is disabled.
6194
6195 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6196 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6197
6198 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6199
6200 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6201
6202 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6203 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6204
620510. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6206
620711. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6208 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6209 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6210 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6211 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6212 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6213
621412. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6215 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6216 timeout.
6217
621813. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6219 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6220
622114. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6222 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6223
622415. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6225 received was valid base64.
6226
622716. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6228 name of the variable that was being set.
6229
623017. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6231
623218. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6233 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6234 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6235 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6236 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6237 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6238
623919. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6240
624120. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6242 nor realm was specified.
6243
624421. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6245 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6246 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6247 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6248
624922. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6250 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6251 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6252
625323. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6254 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6255 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6256
625724. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6258 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6259 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6260 some systems use these upper case variants.
6261
626225. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6263 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6264 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6265 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6266
626726. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6268
626927. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6270 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6271
627228. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6273 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6274 expansion variable.
6275
627629. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6277
627830. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6279 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6280 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6281 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6282
628331. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6284 using it.
6285
628632. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6287 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6288 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6289
629033. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6291 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6292
629334. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6294 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6295 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6296 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6297
629835. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6299 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6300 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6301
630236. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6303
630437. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6305 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6306 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6307 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6308 aborted.
6309
631038. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6311 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6312 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6313
631439. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6315
631640. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6317 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6318
631941. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6320 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6321
632242. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6323 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6324 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6325 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6326 when emails are that large.
6327
6328
6329
6330Exim version 4.22
6331-----------------
6332
6333 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6334 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6335
6336 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6337 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6338 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6339
6340 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6341 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6342 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6343
6344 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6345 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6346 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6347 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6348 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6349
6350 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6351 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6352 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6353 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6354 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6355 ever.
6356
6357 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
6358 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
6359 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
6360 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
6361 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
6362 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
6363 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
6364 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
6365 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
6366 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
6367 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
6368 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
6369 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
6370 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
6371
6372 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
6373 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
6374 parameterised it.
6375
6376 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
6377 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
6378 error should be diagnosed.
6379
6380 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
6381 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
6382 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
6383 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
6384 appeared instead of "NULL".
6385
638610. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
6387 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
6388 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
6389 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
6390 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
6391 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
6392 proceeds).
6393
6394 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
6395 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
6396 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
6397
6398
6399Exim version 4.21
6400-----------------
6401
6402 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
6403 or receiver verification errors.
6404
6405 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
6406 name.
6407
6408 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
6409 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
6410 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
6411 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
6412
6413 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
6414 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
6415 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
6416 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
6417 shouldn't happen again.
6418
6419 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
6420 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
6421 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
6422
6423 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
6424 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
6425
6426 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
6427
6428 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
6429 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
6430
6431 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
6432 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
6433 RFC.
6434
643510. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
6436 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
6437 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
6438
643911. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
6440 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
6441 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
6442 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
6443
644412. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
6445 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
6446 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
6447 to define what should happen).
6448
644913. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
6450 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
6451 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
6452
645314. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
6454
645515. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
6456
645716. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
6458 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
6459
4c04137d 646017. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
6461 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
6462 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
6463 structure in all cases.
6464
6465 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
6466 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
6467 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
6468 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
6469
647018. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
6471 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
6472 domain name.
6473
647419. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
6475 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
6476
647720. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
6478 MD5 (which is deprecated).
6479
648021. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
6481 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
6482 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
6483
648422. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
6485 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
6486 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
6487
648823. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
6489 the book and for uniformity.
6490
649124. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
6492
649325. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 6494 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
6495 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
6496 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
6497 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
6498 non-existent command as the problem.
6499
650026. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
6501 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
6502 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
6503
650427. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
6505
650628. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
6507 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
6508 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
6509
651029. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
6511 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
6512 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
6513 timestamps using strftime().
6514
651530. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
6516 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
6517
651832. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
6519 transport-time rewrites.
6520
652133. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
6522 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
6523 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
6524 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
6525
652634. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
6527 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
6528
652935. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
6530 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
6531 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
6532 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
6533 comma and a space.
6534
653536. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
6536 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
6537 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
6538 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
6539 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
6540 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
6541 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
6542
654337. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
6544 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
6545 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
6546 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
6547 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
6548
654938. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
6550 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
6551 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
6552 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
6553 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
6554 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
6555 remaining text gets split now.
6556
655739. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
6558 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
6559 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
6560 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
6561
656240. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
6563 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
6564 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
6565 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
6566 $return_path.
6567
656841. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
6569 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
6570 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
6571 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
6572 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
6573 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
6574 passed through if needed.
6575
657642. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
6577 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
6578 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
6579 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
6580 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
6581 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
6582
658343. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
6584 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
6585 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
6586 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
6587 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
6588
658944. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
6590 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
6591 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
6592 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
6593 incorrect size information for certain domains.
6594
659545. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
6596 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
6597 noticed.
6598
659946. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
6600 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
6601 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
6602 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
6603 mayhem of various kinds.
6604
660547. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
6606 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 6607 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
6608 the right test for positive values.
6609
661048. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
6611 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
6612 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
6613 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
6614 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
6615 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
6616 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
6617 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
6618 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
6619 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
6620 envelope.
6621
662249. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
6623 module.
6624
662550. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
6626 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
6627 forbidding it.
6628
662951. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
6630 the existing equality matching.
6631
663252. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
6633 dealing with inode numbers.
6634
663553. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
6636 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
6637 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
6638
663954. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
6640 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
6641 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
6642 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
6643 local_scan().
6644
664555. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
6646 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
6647 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
6648 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
6649 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
6650 relay addresses has also been removed.
6651
665256. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
6653
665457. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
6655 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
6656 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
6657
665858. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
6659 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
6660 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
6661 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
6662 processing applies to CR:
6663
6664 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
6665 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
6666
6667 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
6668 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
6669 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
6670 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
6671
667259. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
6673 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
6674 This is a VOB (very old bug).
6675
667660. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
6677 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
6678 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
6679 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
6680 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
6681 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
6682 arisen.
6683
668461. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
6685 program routers.
6686
668762. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
6688 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
6689 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
6690 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
6691 adds:
6692
6693 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
6694
6695 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
6696
6697 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
6698
669963. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
6700 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
6701 not considered personal.
6702
670364. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
6704
670565. Added queue_only_override (default true).
6706
670766. Added the syslog_duplication option.
6708
670967. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
6710 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
6711 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
6712 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
6713 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
6714 header lines, and spool format errors.
6715
671668. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
6717 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
6718 for more flexibility.
6719
672069. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
6721 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
6722 consulting and updating the callout cache.
6723
672470. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
6725 Sabourenkov.
6726
672771. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
6728 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
6729 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
6730 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
6731 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
6732 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
6733 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
6734 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
6735 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
6736
673772. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
6738 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
6739 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
6740 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
6741 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
6742 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
6743 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
6744
674573. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
6746 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
6747 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
6748
674974. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
6750 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
6751 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
6752 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
6753 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
6754 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
6755 instead of killing the process with assert().
6756
675775. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
6758 than Unicode encoding.
6759
676076. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
6761 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
6762 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
6763 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
6764
676577. Added process_log_path.
6766
676778. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
6768 check_log_inodes was ignored.
6769
677079. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
6771 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
6772
677380. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
6774 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
6775 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
6776
677781. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
6778 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
6779 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
6780 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
6781 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
6782 were applied:
6783
6784 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
6785 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
6786 as invalid.
6787
678882. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
6789 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
6790 they will be used during message reception.
6791
