8Exim version 4.93
9-----------------
10
8a40db1c
JH
11JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
12 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 13
fc243e94 14JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
15 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
16 its own TCP segment.
17
897024f1
JH
18JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
19 each verb.
20
f1be21cf
JH
21JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
22
fe12ec88
JH
23JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
24
05bf16f6
JH
25JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
26 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
27
fc243e94
JH
28JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
29 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
30 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
31 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
32 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
33 suitably configured).
34
c05bdbd6 35JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
36 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
37
14bc9cf0
JH
38JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
39 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
40 crash could result.
41
254f38d1
JH
42JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
43 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
44
c09dbcfb
JH
45JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
46 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
47 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
48 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
49 to this system.
254f38d1 50
f9fc9427
JH
51JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
52 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
53 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
54
e6024a5e
JH
55JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
56 output.
57
1fbf41cd
JH
58JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
59 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
60
3c55eef2 61JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 62 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
63 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
64 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
65 input).
66

HSHR
67HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
68 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
69 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
70 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
71 (It was "hdr.$pid".)

HSHR
73HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
74 shared (NFS) environment.
75

77 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
78 affected.

81Exim version 4.92
82-----------------
83
9723f966
JH
84JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
85 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
86
87JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
88 non-signal-safe functions being used.
89
90JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
91 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
92 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 93
ea7b1f16
JH
94JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
95 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
96 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
97
cfbb0d24
JH
98JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
99 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
100 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
101 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
102 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
103 messed with.
104
85defcf0
PP
105PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
106 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
107
1bd642c2
JH
108JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
109 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
110 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
111 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
112 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
113 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
114 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
115
2ddb4094
JH
116JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
117 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
118
1613fd68
JH
119JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
120 legitimate.
121
e6057245
JH
122JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
123 Previously this would segfault.
124
7b9822bf
JH
125JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
126 segfault.
127
d8d9f930
JH
128JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
129 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
130 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
131 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
132 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
133 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
134
61e3f250
JH
135JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
136
7a8b9519
JH
137JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
138 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
139 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
140 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
141
49e56fb3
JH
142JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
143
74f1a423
JH
144JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
145 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
146 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
147 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
148
5054c4fd 149JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
150
151JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
5054c4fd 152
946515bf
JH
153JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
154 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
155 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
156
8c34c611
JH
157JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
158 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
159 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
160
1bca4f5f
PP
161PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
162
8a6b4e02
JH
163JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
164 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
165 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
166 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
167
0a682b6c
PP
168PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
169 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
170 promised '?' replacement.
171
c2c451ac
PP
172PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
173
8768d548
JH
174JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
175 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
176 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
177 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
178 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
179
5455f548
JH
180JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
181 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
182 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
183
25beaee4
MK
184JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
185 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
186 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
187
7ea1237c 188JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 189 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
190 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
191
ebda598a
JH
192JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
193 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
194 hope that is portable enough.
195
570cb1bd
JH
196JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
197 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
198 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
199 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
200
eb58ddf5
JH
201JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
202 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
203 SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
204
ffbc20ed
MK
205JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
206 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
207 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
208 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
209
4e928780
MK
210JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
211 msg:fail:internal event. Developement by Matthias Kurz.
212
75c121f0 213JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
059f2ace 214 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all
75c121f0
JH
215 the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
216 overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
217
e30f4f43
JH
218JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
219 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
220 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
221
a45431fa
JH
222JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
223 platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
224 (i.e. more than 2 TB). Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
225 the previous G, M, k.
226
c0fb53b7
JH
227JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
228 $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure. Previously
229 it was unset.
230
6aac3239
JH
231JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048. RHEL 8.0
232 OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key. Do for GnuTLS also, and for
233 more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
234 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.
235
5a2a0989
JH
236JH/35 OpenSSL: fail the handshake when SNI processing hits a problem, server
237 side. Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.
238
de6f74f2 239JH/36 Harden the handling of string-lists. When a list consisted of a sole
b72f857f
JH
240 "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked
241 off past the nul-terimation.
242
de6f74f2
JH
243JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external
244 causes) even when the retry time is not yet met. Previously they were
245 not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting,
246 and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get
247 notified on each configured delay_warning cycle.
248
aa6e77af 249JH/38 Bug 2351: Log failures to extract envelope addresses from message headers.
aaf3e414 250
25fa0868
JH
251JH/39 OpenSSL: clear the error stack after an SSL_accept(). With anon-auth
252 cipher-suites, an error can be left on the stack even for a succeeding
253 accept; this results in impossible error messages when a later operation
254 actually does fail.
255
cb6bd80f
JH
256AM/01 Bug 2359: GnuTLS: repeat lowlevel read and write operations while they
257 return error codes indicating retry. Under TLS1.3 this becomes required.
258
259JH/40 Fix the feature-cache refresh for EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT. Previously
260 it only wrote the new authenticators, resulting in a lack of tracking of
261 peer changes of ESMTP extensions until the next cache flush.
518b70e9 262
56ac062a
JH
263JH/41 Fix the loop reading a message header line to check for integer overflow,
264 and more-often against header_maxsize. Previously a crafted message could
265 induce a crash of the recive process; now the message is cleanly rejected.
266

272-----------------

c39c8870 274GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
bb264f6b
JH
275 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
276 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
277 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
278 next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
279 be defined in redis_servers.

a05d3e34
JH
295JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
296 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
297 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
298 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
299 input.

JH
301JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
302 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
303 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
304 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
305 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
306 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
307 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
308 Main pool for expansions.
309 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
310 active in the testsuite.
311 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.

313JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
314 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
315 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
316 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
317 round-robin DNS.

337JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating
338 SMTP connection. Previously, when one had more receipients than the
339 first, an abortive onward connection was made. Move to full support for
340 multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
341 for all multi-message initiating connections.
342
f83a760f
JH
343JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by
344 routers. Previously, a multi-recipient message would fail to match the
345 onward-connection opened for the first recipient, and cause its closure.
346
f1fed05b
JH
347JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
348 a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
349 initiating connection being dropped. This mattered most when the callout
350 was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
351 separate.

JH
353JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in

418JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
419 as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
420 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
421 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
422 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
423 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
424 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
425 receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
426 (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).
427 Discovered and pinpointed by David Carter.

803JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
804 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
805 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
806 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
807 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
808 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
809 if one fails this test.
810 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
811 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1625TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1626
1627 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1628 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1629 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1630 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1631 the retry rules.
1632
1633 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1634 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1635 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1636
1637 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1638 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1639 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1640 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1641
1ddeb334
TF
1642 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1643 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1644 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1645 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1646 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1647 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1648 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1649
1650 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1651 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1659 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1660 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1661 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1662 username as equal to the username.

1691 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

1973TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1974 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1975 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1976
1977 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1978 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1979 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1980 not safe for signals.
1981
1982 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1983 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1984 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1985 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1986 exiwhat.

1988TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1989
1990 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1991 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1992 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1993 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1994 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1995
1996 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1997 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1998 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1999 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2000 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2001 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2002
2003 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2004 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2005 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2006 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2007
2008 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2009 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2010 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2011 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2012
2013 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2014 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2015 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2016 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2017 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2018 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2019 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2020 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2021 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2022
2023 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2024 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2025 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2026 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2027
2028 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2029 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2030 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2031 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2032 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2033 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2034 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2035 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2036 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2037 details in the main documentation.

2608
2609PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2610
6a3bceb1
PH
2611PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2612 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2613 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2614 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2615 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2616 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2617 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2618 for iplsearch lookups.
2619
2620 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2621 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2622 previously such lookups could never work.
2623
4c04137d 2624 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2625 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2626 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2631MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2632 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2633 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2634 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2635 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2636 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
2641MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2642 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2643 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2644 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2645 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2646 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2829PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2830 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2832 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2833 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2834 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2835 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2909 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2910 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2911 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2912 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2913 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2914 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2915 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2916 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2927PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2928 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2929
2930 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2931 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2932
2933 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2934 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2935 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2936
2937 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2938 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2939 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2940 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2941 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2958 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

2b1c6e3a
PH
2985PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2986 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2987 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2988 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2989 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2990 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2991 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2992 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2993 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2994 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2995 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3031 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3032 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3033 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3034 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3035 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
3036 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05
PH
3040 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3041 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3042 function.
3043 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3044 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3045 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3046 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3047 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3048 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3049 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3050 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3051 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3059 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3060 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3061 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3062 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3063 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

3065PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to
3066 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
3067 list.
3068
322050c2
PH
3069PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3070 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3071 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3072 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3073 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3074 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3075 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3076 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3077 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3078 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3079 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3080 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3081 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
3083PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3084 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3085 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3086 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3087 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3088 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3089 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
3091PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3092 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3093 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3094 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3095 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3096 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3097 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3098 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3099 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3100 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
3102PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3103 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3104 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3105 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3106 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3108PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3109 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3110 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3111 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3112 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3113 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3114 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

PH
3116PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
3117 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
3118 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
3119 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3120 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3121 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3122 been verified.

PH
3153
3154PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3155 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3156 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3157 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3158 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3159 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3160 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3161 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3162 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3163
3164 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3165 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3166 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3167 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3168 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3169 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3170 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3171 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3172 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3173
3174 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3175 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3176 hammering the server.

3191PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
3192 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
3193 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
3194 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3195 fails.
3196
48c7f9e2
PH
3197PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3198 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3199 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3200 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3201 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
3202 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3203 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3204 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3205 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3206 smtp transport.

3474PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
3475 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
3476 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3477 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3478 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3479 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3480 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3481 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3482 451 error is used.

3507 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
3508 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
3509 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota

3518PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3519 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3520 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3521 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3522 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3523 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3524 addresses as local.

3567 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

3602 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3603 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3604 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3605 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3606 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3607 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3608 values from the SRV records were lost.

3610PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

727071f8
PH
3618PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3619 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3620 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3621 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3622 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3623 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3624 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3625 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3626 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3723PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3724 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3725 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3726 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3727 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3728 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3729 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3730 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3731 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

3772 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3773 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3774
3775 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3776 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3777 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3778
3779PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3780 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the

3839PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being
3840 honoured for bounces generated during the reception of non-SMTP messages.
3841 In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
3842 been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
3843 body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
3844 include only those that have been read before the error was detected.

PH
3853PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3854 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3855 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3856 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3857 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3858 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3859 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3860 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3861 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3862 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3863 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3882PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck:
3883
3884 (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is
3885 not a single digit.
3886
3887 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
3888 string.
3889
3890 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
3891 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
3892 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3893 silly things.
3894
3895 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
3896 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
3897
3898 (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result
3899 inside the third argument.

3912
3913 This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There
3914 may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like

PH
3919PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
3920 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
3921 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
3922 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3923 identical. For example:
3924
3925 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3926
3927 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
3928 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
3929 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

3959
3960 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as

456682f5
PH
3962 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
3963 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
3964 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3965
3966 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3967
3968 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3969
3970 The auto-replied keyword:
3971
3972 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3973 message by an automatic process,
3974
3975 - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,

3977 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
3978 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),

PH
4018PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
4019 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
4020 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
4021 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4022 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4023 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4024 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4025 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4026 the text comparison.
4027
96776534
PH
4028PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was

4243PH/47 Added an interface to a fake DNS resolver for use by the new test suite,
4244 avoiding the need to install special zones in a real server. This is

4323PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
4324 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
4325 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
4c04137d 4326 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were
415c8f3b

4327 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,

4330PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
4331 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
4332 write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
4333 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
4334 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4335 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4410 the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our
4411 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
4412 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
4413 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim
4414 with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it
4415 falls back to the previous guessing code."

PH
4471PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
4472 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
4473 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
4474 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
4475 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was

4486PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These

4489 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
4490 record types that Exim uses.

PH
4492PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was

4543
4544PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4545 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4546 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4547 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4548 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4549 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4550 file.
4551
4552PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4553 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4554 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4555 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4556 these two options.
4557
4558PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4559 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4560 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4561 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4562 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4563 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4564 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4565 address.
1a46a8c5
PH
4566
4567PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T

4569
4570PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4571 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4572 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4573 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4574 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4575 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4576
4577PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
4578 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH

4580 SMTP commands that take arguments.

4630 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4631 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4632 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4633 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
4634 for failure.

4636PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
4637 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
4638 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
4639 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4640 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
4641 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
4642 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
4643 "input=".

PH
4653PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4654 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4655 understands it better than I do:
4656
4657 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4658 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4659
4660 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4661 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4662 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4663 => three warnings about OTP not working
4664 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4665
4666 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4667 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4668 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4669 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4670 for each call.)
4671 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4672 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4673
4674 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4675 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4676 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

PH
4740PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4741 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4742 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4743 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4744 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4745 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4746 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4747
4748 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4749 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4750 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4751 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4752 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4753
4754 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4755 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4756 routed further.

4800 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4801 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4802 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4803 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4804 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4805 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

4815A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4816----------------------------------------
4817
4818Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4819changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4820needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4821in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4822that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4823release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4824from 4.43.
4825
4826I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
48274.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4828those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4829historical information.

4847 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a

4849 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4850 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4851 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

4856 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4857 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4858 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

4906 ignore_target_hosts.
4907
490823. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4909 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4910 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4911 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4912 "[x.x.x.x]".

PH
491424. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the

4917
491825. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore

PH
493229. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4933 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4934 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4935 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4936 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4937 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4938 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4939 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.

PH
494130. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the

PH
494531. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4946 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former

4948 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.

PH
495032. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4951 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4952 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4953 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4954 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4955 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4956
063b1e99
PH
495733. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4958 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4959 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4960 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4961
652e1b65
PH
496234. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4963 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4964 respected.

PH
497036. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4971 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4972 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4973 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4974 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4975 very small.

PH
497737. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.

5029 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5030 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.

503250. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal

PH
503952. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5040 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5041 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5042 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5043 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5044 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5045 is going on).

PH
504753. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5048 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5049 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5050 the line.

PH
505254. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5053 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5054 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5055
5056 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5057 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5058 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5059 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5060 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5061 so I produce this patch..."
5062
3295e65b
PH
5063 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5064 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5065 is not defined.
5066

PH
506755. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5068 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
5069 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5070 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

PH
507858. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep

PH
508159. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5082
5083 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5084 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5085 of $primary_hostname.
5086
b975ba52
PH
508760. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5088 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5089 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5090 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5091 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5092 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5093 by change 4.50/55 above.
5094
5095 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5096 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5097 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5098 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5099 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5100 running as the user.

PH
511163. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5112 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5113 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5114 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5115 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.

5118 This has been fixed.
5119
60dc5e56
PH
512065. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5121 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5122 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5123 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5124 the caching.)

PH
512867. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5129 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5130 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5131 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5132

PH
513368. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5134 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.

PH
513669. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with

5138 apparently mutter when there is no cast.

PH
514070. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5141 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5142 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5143 message there.
5144
00f00ca5
PH
514571. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5146 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5147 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5148
c9bdd01c
PH
514972. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5150 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5151 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5152 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.

515774. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used

5160 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5161
76a2d7ba
PH
516275. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5163 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5164 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5165 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5166 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5167 background.
5168
516976. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5170 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5171
04f7d5b9
PH
517277. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5173 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5174 for the non-SMTP ACL.

PH
517678. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5177
bb6e88ff
PH
517879. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5179 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5180 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5181 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5182 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5183 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5184 process earlier.
5185
1e70f85b
PH
518680. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5187 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5188 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5189 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5190 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.

5206----------------------------------------------------
5207See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5208----------------------------------------------------
5209
5210
5211Exim version 4.44
5212-----------------
5213
5214 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5215 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5216 transport
5217
5218 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5219 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5220 place.
5221
5222 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5223 filter fails to execute.
5224
5225 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5226 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5227 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5228 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5229 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5230
5231 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5232 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5233 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5234 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5235
5236 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5237 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5238 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5239 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5240 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5241
5242 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5243
5244 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5245 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5246 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5247 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5248
5249 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5250 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5251 sender verification.
5252
525310. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5254 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5255
525611. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5257 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5258
525912. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5260 ignore_target_hosts.
5261
526213. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5263 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5264 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5265 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5266 "[x.x.x.x]".
5267
526814. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5269 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5270 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5271
527215. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5273 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5274 wake it up if nothing else does.
5275
527616. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5277 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5278 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5279 end up negative.
5280
528117. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5282 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5283
ea3a6f44 528418. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5285
528619. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5287 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5288 empty pattern.
5289
529020. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5291 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5292 one IP address.
5293
ea3a6f44
NM
529421. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5295 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5296 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5297 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5298 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5299 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5300
ea3a6f44
NM
530122. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5302 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5303 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5304
530523. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5306 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5307 $sender_host_address.
5308
530924. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5310
ea3a6f44
NM
531125. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5312 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5313 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5314
531526. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5316 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5317
ea3a6f44
NM
531827. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5319 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5320
ea3a6f44
NM
532128. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5322 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5323 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5324 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
5325
532629. eximstats updated to version 1.35
5327 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines

5391 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the

5396Exim version 4.43
5397-----------------
5398
5399 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5400 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5401 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5402 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5403 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5404 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5405 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5406
5407 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5408 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5409 the delivery.
5410
5411 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5412
5413 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5414
5415 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5416 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5417 to local_scan().
5418
5419 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5420 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5421 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5422 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5423 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5424
5425 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5426 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5427
5428 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5429
5430 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5431
543210. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5433 header_sender only.
5434
543511. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5436 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5437
543812. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5439 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5440 affecting debugging statements).
5441
544213. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5443
544414. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5445 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5446 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5447 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5448 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5449 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5450 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5451 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5452 after the received time, and all would be well.
5453
545415. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5455 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5456 condition in an expansion string.
5457
545816. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5459
546017. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5461 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5462 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5463 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5464 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5465 job under whatever limits there are.
5466
546718. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5468
546919. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5470 space).
5471
547220. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5473 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5474 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5475 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5476 return path is set.
5477
547821. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5479 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5480 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5481 binary data in such strings.
5482
548322. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5484
548523. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5486 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5487 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5488 failure, which is pointless.
5489
549024. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5491
549225. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5493
549426. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5495 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5496 Sender: header lines.
5497
549827. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5499 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5500 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5501
550228. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5503 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5504 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5505 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5506 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5507 happens.
5508
550929. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5510 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5511 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5512 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5513 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5514
551530. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5516 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5517 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5518 1024.
5519
552031. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5521 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5522
552332. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5524 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5525
552633. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5527
552832. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5529
553033. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5531
553234. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5533 syntax error.
5534
553535. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5536
553736. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5538
553937. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5540 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5541 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5542 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5543
554438. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5545 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5546
5547
5548Exim version 4.42
5549-----------------
5550
5551 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5552 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5553 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5554 it was not quoted.
5555 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5556 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5557 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5558 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5559 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5560 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5561
5562 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5563 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5564 verification failure".
5565
5566 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5567 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5568 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5569 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5570
5571 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5572 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5573 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5574 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5575 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5576 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5577 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5578 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5579 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5580 treated as a timeout.
5581
5582 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5583 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5584 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5585 not set for Exim filters).
5586
5587 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5588 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5589 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5590
5591 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5592
5593 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5594 try to make them clearer.
5595
5596 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5597 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5598
5599 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5600
5601 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5602
560310. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5604 only the Cygwin environment.
5605
560611. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5607 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5608 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5609 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5610 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5611
561212. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5613 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5614 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5615 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5616 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5617 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5618 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5619
562013. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5621 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5622
562314. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5624
5625 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5626 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5627 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5628
5629 To: susanne@some.where
5630
5631 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5632 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5633 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5634 of addresses in From: header lines).
5635
5636 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5637 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5638 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5639
5640 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5641 treated as non-personal.
5642
5643 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5644 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5645
564615. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5647
564816. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5649
565017. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5651 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5652 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5653
565418. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5655 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5656
565719. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5658 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5659 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5660 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5661 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5662 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5663
566420. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5665 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5666 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5667 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5668 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5669 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5670 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5671 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5672
5673 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5674
567521. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5676 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5677
567822. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5679 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5680 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5681
568223. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5683 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5684
568524. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5686 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5687 rather than long int.
5688
568925. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5690
569126. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5692
5693
5694Exim version 4.41
5695-----------------
5696
5697 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5698 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5699 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5700 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5701 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5702 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5703
5704
5705Exim version 4.40
5706-----------------
5707
5708 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5709 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5710
5711 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5712 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5713 socklen_t is defined.
5714
5715 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5716 always exist.
5717
5718 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5719 configured.
5720
5721 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5722 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5723 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5724 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5725 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5726
5727 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5728 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5729 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5730 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5731
5732 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5733 of flapping under certain conditions.
5734
5735 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5736 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5737 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5738
5739 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5740
574110. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5742
574311. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5744 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5745 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5746 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5747
574812. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5749 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5750 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5751 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5752 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5753 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5754 preserved with the message after it was received.
5755
575613. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5757 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5758 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5759 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5760 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5761 test suite worked just fine.
5762
576314. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5764 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5765 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5766
576715. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5768 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5769 string.
5770
577116. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5772 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5773 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5774 does not fully solve it.
5775
577617. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5777 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5778 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5779 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5780 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5781
578218. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5783 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5784 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5785
578619. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5787 string, for example:
5788
5789 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5790
5791 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5792 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5793 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5794 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5795 the routers could not see them.
5796
579720. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5798 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5799
580021. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5801 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5802 output).
5803
580422. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5805 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5806 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5807 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5808 that needed quoting.
5809
581023. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5811 was not being matched caselessly.
5812
581324. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5814 backslashes.
5815
581625. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5817 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5818 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5819 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5820 when use_sender is false.
5821
582226. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5823
582427. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5825
582628. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5827
582829. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5829 the configuration file.
5830
583130. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5832 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5833
583431. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5835
583632. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5837 bytes in the message body.
5838
583933. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5840 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5841 delivery.
5842
584334. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5844
584535. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5846
584736. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5848 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5849 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5850 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5851 another IP address.
5852
5853
5854Exim version 4.34
5855-----------------
5856
5857 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5858 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5859
5860 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5861 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5862 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5863 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5864 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5865
5866 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5867 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5868
5869 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5870 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5871 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5872
5873 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5874 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5875 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5876
5877 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5878 for routers.
5879
5880 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5881 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5882 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5883 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5884 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5885 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5886 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5887
5888
5889Exim version 4.33
5890-----------------
5891
5892 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5893 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5894 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5895 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5896 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5897 default (and expected) setting.
5898
5899 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5900 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5901 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5902 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5903
5904 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5905 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5906
5907 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5908 in domain lists.
5909
5910 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5911 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5912 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5913 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5914 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5915 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5916
5917 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5918 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5919 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5920
5921 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5922 part (NOT match_host).
5923
5924 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5925
5926 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5927 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5928 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5929 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5930 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5931 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5932 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5933 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5934 the same named file.
5935
593610. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5937 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5938 when Exim is built.
5939
594011. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5941 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5942 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5943 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5944 a host name.
5945
594612. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5947 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5948 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5949
595013. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5951
595214. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5953
595415. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5955
595616. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5957 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5958
595917. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5960 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5961 before starting the TLS session.
5962
596318. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5964
596519. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5966 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5967
596820. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5969 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5970 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5971 colon in the middle).
5972
5973
5974Exim version 4.32
5975-----------------
5976
5977 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5978 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5979 multiple configurations are in use.
5980
5981 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5982 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5983 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5984 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5985 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5986 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5987
5988 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5989 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5990
5991 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5992 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5993 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5994
5995 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5996 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5997 occurs.
5998
5999 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6000 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6001
6002 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6003
6004 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6005 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6006
6007 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6008
6009 -prval:sval
6010
6011 is equivalent to
6012
6013 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6014
6015 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6016 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6017 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6018 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6019 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6020
602110. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6022 Exim's behaviour:
6023
6024 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6025 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6026 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6027 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6028 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6029 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6030
6031 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6032 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6033 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6034 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6035 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6036 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6037 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6038 string.
6039
6040 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6041 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6042 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6043 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6044 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6045
604611. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6047
604812. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6049 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6050 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6051
605213. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6053
605414. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6055 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6056 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6057 information.
6058
605915. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6060 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6061
606216. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6063 Three changes have been made:
6064
6065 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6066 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6067 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6068 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6069 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6070
6071 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6072 been restored.
6073
6074 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6075 the modified behaviour.
6076
6077
6078Exim version 4.31
6079-----------------
6080
6081 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6082 Larry Rosenman.
6083
6084 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6085 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6086
6087 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6088 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6089 try to track down a specific problem.
6090
6091 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6092 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6093 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6094
6095 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6096 warning.
6097
6098 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6099 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6100 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6101 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6102 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6103 some earlier ones do not.
6104
6105 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6106
6107 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6108 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6109 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6110 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6111 address literals are enabled, of course).
6112
6113 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6114
611510. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6116 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6117 by a command such as
6118
6119 exim -f "" ...
6120
6121 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6122
612311. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6124
612512. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6126 remained set. It is now erased.
6127
612813. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6129 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6130
613114. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6132 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6133 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6134 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6135 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6136 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6137 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6138 appropriate error code.
6139
614015. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6141 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6142 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6143 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6144 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6145 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6146
614716. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6148 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6149 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6150
615117. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6152 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6153 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6154 terminate the header.
6155
615618. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6157 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6158 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6159
616019. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6161 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6162 (4.30/29). In particular:
6163
6164 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6165 imposed.
6166
6167 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6168 to write a maildirsize file.
6169
6170 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6171 the transport, the new value overrides.
6172
6173 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6174 count.
6175
617620. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6177 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6178 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6179 space or a tab.
6180
618121. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6182 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6183 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6184 the fallback hosts.
6185
618622. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6187 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6188 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6189
619023. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6191 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6192 using a union.
6193
619424. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6195 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6196 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6197
619825. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6199
620026. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6201
620227. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6203
620428. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6205 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6206 become corrupted.
6207
620829. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6209 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6210 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6211 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6212 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6213 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6214 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6215 too great.
6216
621730. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6218 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6219 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6220 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6221 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6222 incorrectly.
6223
622431. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6225 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6226 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6227 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6228 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6229 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6230 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6231 cached value only when the same options are set.
6232
623332. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6234
623533. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6236 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6237 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6238 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6239 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6240
624134: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6242 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6243 it is clearly obsolete.
6244
624535. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6246 transport.
6247
624836. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6249 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6250 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6251 times.
6252
625337. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6254 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6255 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6256 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6257 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6258
625938. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6260 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6261 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6262 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6263
626439. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6265
6266 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6267
6268 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6269 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6270 2^31.
6271
627240. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6273 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6274 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6275 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6276 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6277 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6278 $localpart_data.
6279
628041. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6281 with the -f command-line option.
6282
628342. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6284 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6285 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6286 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6287 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6288 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6289
629043. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6291 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6292 line.
6293
629444. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6295 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6296 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6297 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6298 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6299 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6300 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6301 buffer is too small.
6302
630345. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6304 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6305
630646. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6307 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6308 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6309 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6310 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6311 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6312 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6313 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6314 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6315
631647. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6317 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6318 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6319
632048. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6321 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6322 ACL").
6323
632449. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6325 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6326 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6327 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6328 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6329
633050. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6331 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6332 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6333 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6334 is set.
6335
633651. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6337
633852. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6339
634053. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6341 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6342
634354. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6344 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6345 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6346
634755. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6348 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6349 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6350 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6351 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6352
635356. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6354 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6355 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6356 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6357 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6358 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6359 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6360
636157. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6362 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6363 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6364 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6365 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6366 the test of how many are available.
6367
636858. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6369 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6370 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6371 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6372 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6373 new message is started.
6374
637559. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6376 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6377
637860. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6379 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6380
638161. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6382 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6383 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6384 is no long logged.
6385
638662. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6387 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6388 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6389 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6390 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6391 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6392 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6393
639463. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6395 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6396 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6397 interpreted as octal.
6398
639964. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6400 setting.
6401
640265. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6403 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6404 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6405 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6406 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6407 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6408
640966. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6410 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6411 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6412 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6413
6414 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6415 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6416 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6417 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6418
6419 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6420 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6421 is a bug fix.
6422
6423 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6424 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6425
642667. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6427
642868. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6429 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6430 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6431 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6432
643369. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6434 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6435 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6436 supplied", which is not helpful.
6437
643870. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6439 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6440 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6441
644271. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6443 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6444 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6445 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6446 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6447 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6448 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6449 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6450
645172. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6452 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6453 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6454 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6455 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6456
645773. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6458 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6459 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6460 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6461 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6462 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6463
646474. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6465 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6466 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6467
646875. Added write_rejectlog option.
6469
647076. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6471 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6472 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6473 variables.
6474
647577. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6476
647778. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6478 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6479 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6480 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6481 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6482 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6483 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6484 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6485
648679. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6487 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6488 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6489 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6490 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6491
649280. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6493 Haardt.
6494
649581. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6496 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6497 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6498 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6499 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6500 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6501 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6502 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6503 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6504
6505
6506Exim version 4.30
6507-----------------
6508
6509 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6510 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6511 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6512
6513 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6514 fixed.
6515
6516 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6517 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6518 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6519
6520 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6521 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6522 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6523 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6524 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6525 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6526
6527 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6528 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6529 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6530 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6531 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6532 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6533 the Exim test suite.
6534
6535 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6536 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6537 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6538 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6539
6540 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6541 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6542 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6543 specify it in this variable.
6544
6545 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6546 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6547 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6548 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6549
6550 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6551 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6552 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6553 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6554
6555 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6556 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6557 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6558 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6559 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6560
6561 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6562
656310. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6564 they are logged.
6565
656611. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6567 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6568 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6569 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6570 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6571
657212. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6573 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6574
657513. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6576 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6577 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6578 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6579 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6580
658114. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6582 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6583
658415. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6585 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6586 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6587
658816. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6589 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6590
659117. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6592 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6593
659418. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6595 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6596 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6597
659819. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6599 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6600
660120. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6602 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6603 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6604 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6605
660621. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6607
660822. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6609 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6610 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6611 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6612
661323. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6614
661524. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6616 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6617
661825. Added .include_if_exists.
6619
662026. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6621 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6622 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6623 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6624 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6625 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6626
662727. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6628
662928. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6630 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6631 this.
6632
663329. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6634
663530. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6636 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6637
6638 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6639 550 Sender verify failed
6640
6641 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6642 the final line of the response.
6643
664431. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6645 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6646 all other user lookups.
6647
664832. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6649 delivery time.
6650
665133. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6652 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6653 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6654 result into an int without checking.
6655
665634. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6657 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6658 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6659
666035. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6661 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6662 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6663 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6664
666536. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6666 correctly.
6667
666837. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6669 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6670
667138. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6672 to the empty sender.
6673
667439. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6675 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6676 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6677 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6678 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6679 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6680 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6681 panic log.
6682
668340. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6684 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6685 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6686 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6687 used.
6688
668941. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6690 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6691
669242. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6693 timestamps.
6694
669543. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6696 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6697
669844. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6699
670045. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6701 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6702 logs.
6703
670446. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6705 as soon as it is encountered.
6706
670747. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6708
670948. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6710 rewritten to "<>".
6711
671249. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6713 recognizes a tab character.
6714
671550. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6716 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6717 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6718 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6719
672051. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6721
672252. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6723 crash.
6724
672553. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6726
672754. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6728
672955. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6730 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6731 2822.
6732
673356. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6734 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6735 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6736 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6737 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6738
673957. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6740 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6741
674258. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6743 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6744 list (.included file names were always shown).
6745
674659. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6747 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6748 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6749 root at that time.
6750
675160. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6752 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6753
675461. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6755
675662. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6757
675863. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6759
676064. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6761 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6762 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6763 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6764 failures to open the logs.
6765
676665. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6767 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6768 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6769 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6770 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6771 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6772 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6773
6774
6775Exim version 4.24
6776-----------------
6777
6778 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6779 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6780 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6781 change 4.23/1.
6782
6783 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6784 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6785 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6786
6787 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6788 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6789 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6790
6791 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6792 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6793 causing some misleading effects.
6794
6795 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6796 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6797 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6798
6799 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6800 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6801 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6802 queue-runner function directly.
6803
6804
6805Exim version 4.23
6806-----------------
6807
6808 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6809 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6810
6811 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6812 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6813 was always written to the default place.
6814
6815 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6816 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6817 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6818
6819 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6820
6821 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6822
6823 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6824 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6825 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6826
6827 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6828 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6829 must start.
6830
6831 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6832 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6833 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6834
6835 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6836 command line option is disabled.
6837
6838 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6839 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6840
6841 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6842
6843 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6844
6845 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6846 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6847
684810. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6849
685011. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6851 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6852 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6853 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6854 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6855 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6856
685712. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6858 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6859 timeout.
6860
686113. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6862 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6863
686414. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6865 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6866
686715. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6868 received was valid base64.
6869
687016. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6871 name of the variable that was being set.
6872
687317. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6874
687518. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6876 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6877 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6878 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6879 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6880 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6881
688219. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6883
688420. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6885 nor realm was specified.
6886
688721. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6888 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6889 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6890 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6891
689222. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6893 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6894 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6895
689623. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6897 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6898 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6899
690024. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6901 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6902 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6903 some systems use these upper case variants.
6904
690525. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6906 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6907 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6908 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6909
691026. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6911
691227. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6913 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6914
691528. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6916 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6917 expansion variable.
6918
691929. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6920
692130. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6922 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6923 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6924 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6925
692631. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6927 using it.
6928
692932. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6930 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6931 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6932
693333. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6934 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6935
693634. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6937 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6938 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6939 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6940
694135. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6942 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6943 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6944
694536. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6946
694737. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6948 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6949 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6950 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6951 aborted.
6952
695338. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6954 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6955 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6956
695739. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6958
695940. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6960 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6961
696241. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6963 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6964
696542. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6966 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6967 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6968 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6969 when emails are that large.
6970
6971
6972
6973Exim version 4.22
6974-----------------
6975
6976 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6977 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6978
6979 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6980 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6981 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6982
6983 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6984 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6985 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6986
6987 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6988 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6989 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6990 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6991 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6992
6993 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6994 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6995 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6996 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6997 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6998 ever.
6999
7000 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7001 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7002 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7003 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7004 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7005 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7006 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7007 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7008 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7009 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7010 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7011 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7012 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7013 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7014
7015 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7016 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7017 parameterised it.
7018
7019 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7020 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7021 error should be diagnosed.
7022
7023 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7024 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7025 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7026 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7027 appeared instead of "NULL".
7028
702910. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7030 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7031 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7032 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7033 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7034 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7035 proceeds).
7036
7037 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7038 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7039 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7040
7041
7042Exim version 4.21
7043-----------------
7044
7045 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7046 or receiver verification errors.
7047
7048 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7049 name.
7050
7051 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7052 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7053 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7054 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7055
7056 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7057 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7058 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7059 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7060 shouldn't happen again.
7061
7062 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7063 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7064 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7065
7066 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7067 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7068
7069 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7070
7071 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7072 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7073
7074 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7075 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7076 RFC.
7077
707810. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7079 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7080 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7081
708211. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7083 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7084 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7085 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7086
708712. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7088 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7089 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7090 to define what should happen).
7091
709213. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7093 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7094 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7095
709614. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7097
709815. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7099
710016. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7101 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7102
4c04137d 710317. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7104 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7105 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7106 structure in all cases.
7107
7108 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7109 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7110 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7111 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7112
711318. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7114 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7115 domain name.
7116
711719. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7118 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7119
712020. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7121 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7122
712321. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7124 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7125 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7126
712722. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7128 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7129 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7130
713123. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7132 the book and for uniformity.
7133
713424. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7135
713625. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7137 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7138 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7139 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7140 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7141 non-existent command as the problem.
7142
714326. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7144 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7145 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7146
714727. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7148
714928. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7150 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7151 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7152
715329. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7154 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7155 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7156 timestamps using strftime().
7157
715830. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7159 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7160
716132. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7162 transport-time rewrites.
7163
716433. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7165 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7166 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7167 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7168
716934. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7170 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7171
717235. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7173 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7174 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7175 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7176 comma and a space.
7177
717836. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7179 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7180 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7181 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7182 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7183 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7184 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7185
718637. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7187 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7188 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7189 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7190 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7191
719238. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7193 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7194 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7195 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7196 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7197 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7198 remaining text gets split now.
7199
720039. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7201 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7202 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7203 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7204
720540. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7206 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7207 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7208 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7209 $return_path.
7210
721141. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7212 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7213 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7214 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7215 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7216 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7217 passed through if needed.
7218
721942. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7220 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7221 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7222 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7223 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7224 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7225
722643. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7227 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7228 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7229 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7230 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7231
723244. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7233 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7234 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7235 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7236 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7237
723845. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7239 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7240 noticed.
7241
724246. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7243 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7244 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7245 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7246 mayhem of various kinds.
7247
724847. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7249 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7250 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7251 the right test for positive values.
7252
725348. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7254 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7255 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7256 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7257 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7258 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7259 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7260 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7261 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7262 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7263 envelope.
7264
726549. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7266 module.
7267
726850. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7269 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7270 forbidding it.
7271
727251. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7273 the existing equality matching.
7274
727552. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7276 dealing with inode numbers.
7277
727853. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7279 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7280 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7281
728254. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7283 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7284 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7285 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7286 local_scan().
7287
728855. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7289 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7290 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7291 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7292 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7293 relay addresses has also been removed.
7294
729556. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7296
729757. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7298 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7299 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7300
730158. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7302 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7303 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7304 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7305 processing applies to CR:
7306
7307 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7308 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7309
7310 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7311 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7312 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7313 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7314
731559. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7316 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7317 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7318
731960. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7320 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7321 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7322 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7323 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7324 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7325 arisen.
7326
732761. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7328 program routers.
7329
733062. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7331 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7332 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7333 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7334 adds:
7335
7336 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7337
7338 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7339
7340 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7341
734263. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7343 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7344 not considered personal.
7345
734664. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7347
734865. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7349
735066. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7351
735267. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7353 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7354 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7355 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7356 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7357 header lines, and spool format errors.
7358
735968. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7360 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7361 for more flexibility.
7362
736369. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7364 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7365 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7366
736770. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7368 Sabourenkov.
7369
737071. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7371 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7372 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7373 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7374 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7375 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7376 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7377 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7378 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7379
738072. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7381 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7382 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7383 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7384 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7385 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7386 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7387
738873. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7389 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7390 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7391
739274. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7393 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7394 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7395 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7396 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7397 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7398 instead of killing the process with assert().
7399
740075. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7401 than Unicode encoding.
7402
740376. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7404 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7405 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7406 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7407
740877. Added process_log_path.
7409
741078. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7411 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7412
741379. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7414 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7415
741680. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7417 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7418 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7419
742081. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7421 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7422 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7423 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7424 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7425 were applied:
7426
7427 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7428 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7429 as invalid.
7430
743182. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7432 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7433 they will be used during message reception.
7434
