8Exim version 4.next
9-------------------
10
11JH/01 Avoid costly startup code when not strictly needed. This reduces time
12 for some exim process initialisations. It does mean that the logging
13 of TLS configuration problems is only done for the daemon startup.
14
81344b40
JH
15JH/02 Early-pipelining support code is now included unless disabled in Makefile.
16
6ce1ece9
JH
17JH/03 DKIM verification defaults no long accept sha1 hashes, to conform to
18 RFC 8301. They can still be enabled, using the dkim_verify_hashes main
19 option.
20
179ed8c3
JH
21JH/04 Support CHUNKING from an smtp transport using a transport_filter, when
22 DKIM signing is being done. Previously a transport_filter would always
23 disable CHUNKING, falling back to traditional DATA.

28Exim version 4.93
29-----------------
30
8a40db1c
JH
31JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
32 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 33
fc243e94 34JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
35 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
36 its own TCP segment.
37
897024f1
JH
38JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
39 each verb.
40
f1be21cf
JH
41JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
42
fe12ec88
JH
43JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
44
05bf16f6
JH
45JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
46 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
47
fc243e94
JH
48JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
49 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
50 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
51 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
52 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
53 suitably configured).
54
c05bdbd6 55JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
56 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
57
14bc9cf0
JH
58JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
59 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
60 crash could result.
61
254f38d1
JH
62JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
63 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
64
c09dbcfb
JH
65JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
66 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
67 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
68 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
69 to this system.
254f38d1 70
f9fc9427
JH
71JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
72 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
73 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
74
e6024a5e
JH
75JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
76 output.
77
1fbf41cd
JH
78JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
79 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
80
3c55eef2 81JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 82 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
83 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
84 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
85 input).
86
cb80814d
HSHR
87HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
88 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
89 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
90 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
91 (It was "hdr.$pid".)
92
7d8d08c4 93HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
82a996b1
HSHR
94 shared (NFS) environment.
95
7d8d08c4 96HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
82a996b1
HSHR
97 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
98 affected.

bd83c6f9

100JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
101 on some platforms for bit 31.

d9acfc1c
JH
103JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
104 to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
105 previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
106 like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
107 and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
108 the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
109 This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
110 and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
111
b10c87b3
JH
112JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
113
7a501c87
JH
114JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
115 verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
116
e5903596
JH
117JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue. Previously, even with the option
118 queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
119 facility.
120
12d95aa6
JH
121JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
122 directory-of-certs mode. Previously they were advertised despite the
123 documentation.
124
96eb7d2a
JH
125JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
126 A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
127 for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
128 not do so.
129
59c0959a 130JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
01603eec
JH
131 default. If built with the facility, DANE will be used. The facility
132 SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
133
134JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
de517fd3
JH
135 is replaced with DISABLE_TLS. Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
136 must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
137 the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
138 choice. Non-TLS builds are still supported.
59c0959a 139
48519cef
JH
140JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
141 reject under TFO.
96eb7d2a 142
efad2f41 143JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
4e48d56c 144 default. If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
efad2f41
JH
145 be requested on all coneections.
146
4e48d56c
JH
147JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
148 controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.
149
6ee11061 150PP/01 Unbreak heimdal_gssapi, broken in 4.92.
0a5441fc 151
87abcb24
JH
152JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
153 success-DSN messages. Previously the From: header was always the default
154 one for these; the option was ignored.
6ee11061 155
0a5441fc
JH
156JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
157 Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
158 single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
159 long time. Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
160
436bda2a
JH
161JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field. Previously it was the post-routing
162 delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
163 forwarding. Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
164 standards.
165
df98a6ff
JH
166JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
167 requested. Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
168 error ignored was made.
169
21aa0597
JH
170JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)
171
f3ebb786
JH
172JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
173 channel, and values derived from them. Refuse to expand any tainted
174 values, to catch one form of exploit.
175
9fa4d5b4
RJ
176JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option. Previously the expansion result
177 was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test. Found and
178 fixed by Ruben Jenster.
179
bd231acd
JH
180JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown. When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
181 an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
182 causing a segfault.
183
7b564712
JH
184JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
185 them in our smtp response.
186
9c6881f8 187JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
dbbf21a7
JH
188 any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything). Previously it
189 was only for check_local user. The change removes one item of manual
190 configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
191 handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
192
9c6881f8
JH
193JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
194 link count into consideration.
195
7d8d08c4
JH
196HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
197 caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
198
199JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
200 accordance with RFC 2308. Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
201 receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
202 surprise.

204HS/05 Handle trailing backslash gracefully. (CVE-2019-15846)

209
49132a3b
JH
210JH/41 With GnuTLS 3.6.0 (and later) do not attempt to manage Diffie-Hellman
211 parameters. The relevant library call is documented as "Deprecated: This
212 function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. Since

JH
219JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
220 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
221
222JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
223 non-signal-safe functions being used.
224
225JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
226 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
227 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 228
ea7b1f16
JH
229JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
230 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
231 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
232
cfbb0d24
JH
233JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
234 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
235 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
236 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
237 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
238 messed with.

PP
240PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
241 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
242
1bd642c2
JH
243JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
244 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
245 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
246 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
247 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
248 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
249 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
250
2ddb4094
JH
251JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
252 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
253
1613fd68
JH
254JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
255 legitimate.
256
e6057245
JH
257JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
258 Previously this would segfault.
259
7b9822bf
JH
260JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
261 segfault.
262
d8d9f930
JH
263JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
264 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
265 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
266 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
267 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
268 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
269
61e3f250
JH
270JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
271
7a8b9519
JH
272JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
273 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
274 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
275 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
276
49e56fb3
JH
277JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
278
74f1a423
JH
279JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
280 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
281 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
282 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
283
5054c4fd 284JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.

JH
288JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
289 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
290 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
291
8c34c611
JH
292JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.

299 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
300 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
301 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.

308
8768d548
JH
309JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
310 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
311 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
312 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
313 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.

5455f548
JH
315JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
316 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were

MK
319JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
320 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so

322
7ea1237c 323JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,

JH
327JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
328 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
329 hope that is portable enough.
330
570cb1bd
JH
331JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
332 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
333 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
334 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
335
eb58ddf5
JH
336JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
337 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with

MK
340JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
341 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
342 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
343 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.

75c121f0 348JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
059f2ace 349 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all
75c121f0
JH
350 the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
351 overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
352
e30f4f43
JH
353JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
354 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
355 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
356
a45431fa
JH
357JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
358 platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
359 (i.e. more than 2 TB). Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
360 the previous G, M, k.
361
c0fb53b7
JH
362JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
363 $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure. Previously
364 it was unset.
365
6aac3239
JH
366JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048. RHEL 8.0
367 OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key. Do for GnuTLS also, and for
368 more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
369 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.
370
5a2a0989
JH
371JH/35 OpenSSL: fail the handshake when SNI processing hits a problem, server
372 side. Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.
373
de6f74f2 374JH/36 Harden the handling of string-lists. When a list consisted of a sole
b72f857f
JH
375 "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked
376 off past the nul-terimation.
377
de6f74f2
JH
378JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external
379 causes) even when the retry time is not yet met. Previously they were
380 not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting,
381 and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get
382 notified on each configured delay_warning cycle.
383
aa6e77af 384JH/38 Bug 2351: Log failures to extract envelope addresses from message headers.
aaf3e414 385
25fa0868
JH
386JH/39 OpenSSL: clear the error stack after an SSL_accept(). With anon-auth

436JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
437 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
438 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
439 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
440 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
441 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
442 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
443 Main pool for expansions.
444 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
445 active in the testsuite.

556 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
557 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
558 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
559 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the

941 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
942 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
943 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
944 if one fails this test.

1168 to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
1169 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects

1760TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1761
1762 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1763 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1764 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1765 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1766 the retry rules.
1767
1768 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1769 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1770 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1771
1772 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1773 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1774 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1775 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1776
1ddeb334
TF
1777 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1778 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1779 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1780 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1781 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1782 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1783 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1784
1785 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1786 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1822 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new

1826 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

2108TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
2109 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
2110 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
2111
2112 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
2113 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
2114 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
2115 not safe for signals.
2116
2117 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2118 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2119 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2120 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2121 exiwhat.

TF
2123TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2124
2125 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2126 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2127 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2128 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 2129 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
2130
2131 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2132 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2133 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2134 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2135 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2136 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2137
2138 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2139 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2140 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2141 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2142
2143 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2144 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2145 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2146 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2147
2148 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2149 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2150 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2151 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2152 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2153 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2154 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2155 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2156 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2157
2158 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2159 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2160 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2161 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2162
2163 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2164 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2165 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2166 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2167 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2168 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2169 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2170 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2171 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2172 details in the main documentation.

2723 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2742-----------------
2743
2744PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2745
6a3bceb1
PH
2746PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2747 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2748 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2749 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2750 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2751 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2752 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2753 for iplsearch lookups.
2754
2755 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2756 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2757 previously such lookups could never work.
2758
4c04137d 2759 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2760 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2761 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
2762

MH
2766MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2767 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2768 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2769 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2770 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2771 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

2775
0f2cbd1b
MH
2776MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2777 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2778 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2779 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2780 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2781 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2854PH/02 In an ACL statement such as

2858 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2859 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2860 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.

PH
2964PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2965 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2966 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2967 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2968 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2969 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2970 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2982PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
2983 Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
2984 SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
2985 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2986 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
2987 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
2988 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

3019 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it

3026 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
3027 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is

PH
3044 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
3045 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
3046 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
3047 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
3048 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is

3060-----------------
3061
3062PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
3063 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
3064
3065 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
3066 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
3067
3068 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
3069 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
3070 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
3071
3072 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
3073 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
3074 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
3075 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
3076 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

3090PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
3091 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
3092 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
3093 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
3094 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
3095 rather than extend the field.

3101TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
3102 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
3103 While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
3104 filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
3105 these files.

3107TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
3108 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
3109 triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
3110
3111TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
3112 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,

3115TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,

3118 in the field name.

PH
3120PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3121 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3122 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3123 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3124 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3125 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3126 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3127 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3128 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3129 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3130 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3164PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
3165 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
3166 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3167 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3168 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3169 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3170 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
3171 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 3174 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
3175 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3176 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3177 function.
3178 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3179 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3180 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3181 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3182 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3183 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3184 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3185 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3186 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3191PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
3192 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3193 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3194 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3195 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3196 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3197 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3198 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

3201 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
3202 list.
3203
322050c2
PH
3204PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3205 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3206 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3207 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3208 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3209 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3210 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3211 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3212 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3213 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3214 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3215 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3216 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

3218PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3219 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3220 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3221 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3222 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3223 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3224 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
3226PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3227 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3228 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3229 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3230 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3231 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3232 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3233 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3234 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3235 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
3237PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3238 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3239 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3240 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3241 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

411ef850
PH
3243PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3244 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3245 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3246 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3247 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3248 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3249 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

PH
3251PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
3252 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
3253 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
3254 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3255 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3256 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3257 been verified.

PH
3288
3289PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3290 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3291 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3292 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3293 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3294 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3295 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3296 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3297 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3298
3299 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3300 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3301 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3302 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3303 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3304 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3305 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3306 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3307 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3308
3309 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3310 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3311 hammering the server.

3326PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
3327 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

3329 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3330 fails.

48c7f9e2
PH
3332PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3333 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3334 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3335 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3336 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
3337 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3338 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3339 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3340 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3341 smtp transport.

3609PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".

3611 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3612 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3613 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3614 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3615 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3616 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3617 451 error is used.

3653PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3654 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3655 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3656 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3657 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3658 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3659 addresses as local.

3701 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3702 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3703 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3704 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a

3736PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3737 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3738 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3739 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3740 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3741 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3742 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3743 values from the SRV records were lost.

3745PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

3752
727071f8
PH
3753PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3754 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3755 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3756 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3757 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3758 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3759 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3760 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3761 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3858PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3859 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3860 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3861 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3862 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3863 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3864 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3865 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3866 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3867 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3878 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3879 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3880 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the

3902PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3903 used in LMTP mode:
3904
3905 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3906 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3907 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3908 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3909
3910 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3911 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3912 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3913
3914PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3915 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3916 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3917 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3918 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

3988PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3989 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3990 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3991 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3992 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3993 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3994 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3995 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3996 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3997 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3998 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

4022 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty

4024
4025 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
4026 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
4027 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
4028 silly things.
4029
4030 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
4031 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

4055 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
4056 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
4057 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
4058 identical. For example:
4059
4060 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
4061
4062 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
4063 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
4064 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

4155 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
4156 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4157 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4158 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4159 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4160 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4161 the text comparison.

4245PH/13 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true

4460 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
4c04137d 4461 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were

4468 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
4469 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4470 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4622 aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
4623 don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
4624 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
4625 record types that Exim uses.

4627PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
4628 not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
4629 prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
4630 data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
4631 non-existent file that was broken.

4678
4679PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4680 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4681 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4682 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4683 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4684 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4685 file.
4686
4687PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4688 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4689 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4690 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4691 these two options.
4692
4693PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4694 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4695 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4696 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4697 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4698 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4699 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4700 address.

4704
4705PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4706 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4707 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4708 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4709 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4710 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4711
4712PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

4764 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4765 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4766 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4767 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4768 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check

4774 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4775 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1

PH
4788PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4789 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4790 understands it better than I do:
4791
4792 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4793 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4794
4795 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4796 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4797 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4798 => three warnings about OTP not working
4799 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4800
4801 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4802 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4803 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4804 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4805 for each call.)
4806 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4807 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4808
4809 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4810 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still

PH
4875PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4876 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4877 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4878 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4879 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4880 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4881 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4882
4883 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4884 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4885 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4886 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4887 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4888
4889 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4890 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4891 routed further.

4936 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4937 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4938 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4939 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4940 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

4950A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4951----------------------------------------
4952
4953Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4954changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4955needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4956in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4957that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4958release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4959from 4.43.
4960
4961I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
49624.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4963those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4964historical information.

4993 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

502216. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5023 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5024
650edc6f
PH
502517. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5026 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5027
2c7db3f5
PH
502818. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
5029 information about exactly what failed.
5030
3d235903
PH
503119. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.
5032
7c7ad977
PH
503320. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
5034 handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
5035 CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).
5036
981756db
PH
503721. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
5038 It is now set to "smtps".
5039
d4eb88df
PH
504022. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5041 ignore_target_hosts.
5042
504323. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5044 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5045 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5046 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5047 "[x.x.x.x]".
5048
7d468ab8
PH
504924. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5050 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5051 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5052
505325. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5054 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5055 wake it up if nothing else does.
5056
62c0818f
PH
505726. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5058 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5059 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5060 end up negative.
5061
26034054
PH
506227. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5063 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5064
af66f652
PH
506528. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
5066
90af77f4
PH
506729. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
5068 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
5069 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
5070 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
5071 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
5072 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
5073 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
5074 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
5075
d8ef3577
PH
507630. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
5077 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
5078 than one IP address.
5079
5cb8cbc6
PH
508031. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
5081 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
5082 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
5083 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
5084
14702f5b
PH
508532. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5086 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5087 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5088 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5089 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5090 1024 to 2048 bytes.
5091
063b1e99
PH
509233. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
5093 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
5094 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
5095 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
5096
652e1b65
PH
509734. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5098 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5099 respected.
5100
6f0c9a4f
PH
510135. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5102 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5103 $sender_host_address.
5104
33397d19
PH
510536. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
5106 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
5107 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
5108 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
5109 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
5110 very small.
5111
7bb56e1f
PH
511237. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
5113
5114 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
5115 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
5116
ea3bc19b
PH
5117 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
5118 just the host names, not the priorities.
5119
5120 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
5121 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
5122 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 5123
ea3bc19b 5124 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 5125 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 5126
0bcb2a0e
PH
512738. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
5128 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
5129 domain.
5130
2ac0e484
PH
513139. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
5132
4e1fde53
PH
513340. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
5134 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
5135
de365ded
PH
513641. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5137 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5138 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
5139
f05da2e8
PH
514042. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.

PH
514243. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
5143
f7b63901
PH
514444. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
5145
514645. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5147 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5148 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5149 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5150 because the tests only now provoked it.
5151
a444213a
PH
515246. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5153 (this can affect the format of dates).
5154
0ec020ea
PH
515547. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5156 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5157 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5158 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
5159
b1206957
PH
516048. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
5161
516249. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5163 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5164 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5165 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
5166
26dd5a95
PH
516750. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5168 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5169 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
5170
343b2385
PH
517151. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5172 autoreply.
5173
1c5466b9
PH
517452. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5175 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5176 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5177 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5178 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5179 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5180 is going on).
5181
55ee9ee3
PH
518253. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5183 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5184 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5185 the line.
5186
d38f8232
PH
518754. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5188 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5189 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5190
5191 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5192 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5193 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5194 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5195 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5196 so I produce this patch..."
5197
3295e65b
PH
5198 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5199 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5200 is not defined.
5201
7102e136
PH
520255. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5203 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
5204 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5205 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
ea3a6f44 5206 CAN-2005-0021

PH
520856. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
5209
c2bcbe20
PH
521057. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
5211 long debug lines gets shown.
5212
18ce445d
PH
521358. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
5214 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
5215
1f5b4c3d
PH
521659. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5217
5218 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5219 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5220 of $primary_hostname.
5221
b975ba52
PH
522260. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5223 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5224 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5225 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5226 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5227 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5228 by change 4.50/55 above.
5229
5230 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5231 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5232 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5233 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5234 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5235 running as the user.
ea3a6f44 5236 CAN-2005-0021
85b87bc2
PH
5237
523861. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5239 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5240 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 5241 CAN-2005-0022
b975ba52 5242

PH
524362. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
5244 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
5245
d95f9fdb
PH
524663. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5247 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5248 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5249 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5250 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5251
86b8287f
PH
525264. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5253 This has been fixed.
5254
60dc5e56
PH
525565. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5256 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5257 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5258 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5259 the caching.)
5260
533244af
PH
526166. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5262
a5a28604
PH
526367. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5264 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5265 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5266 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5267
7e634d24
PH
526868. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5269 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5270
3e11c26b
PH
527169. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5272 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5273 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5274
6729cf78
PH
527570. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5276 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5277 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5278 message there.
5279
00f00ca5
PH
528071. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5281 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5282 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5283
c9bdd01c
PH
528472. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5285 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5286 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5287 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5288
d43194df
PH
528973. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5290 during host lookups.
5291
fe5b5d0b
PH
529274. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5293 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5294
5295 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5296
76a2d7ba
PH
529775. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5298 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5299 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5300 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5301 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5302 background.
5303
530476. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5305 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5306
04f7d5b9
PH
530777. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5308 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5309 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5310
bc60667e
PH
531178. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5312
bb6e88ff
PH
531379. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5314 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5315 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5316 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5317 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5318 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5319 process earlier.
5320
1e70f85b
PH
532180. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5322 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5323 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5324 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5325 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5326
532781. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5328 tables).

5341----------------------------------------------------
5342See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5343----------------------------------------------------
5344
5345
5346Exim version 4.44
5347-----------------
5348
5349 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5350 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5351 transport
5352
5353 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5354 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5355 place.
5356
5357 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5358 filter fails to execute.
5359
5360 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5361 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5362 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5363 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5364 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5365
5366 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5367 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5368 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5369 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5370
5371 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5372 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5373 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5374 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5375 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5376
5377 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5378
5379 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5380 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5381 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5382 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5383
5384 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5385 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5386 sender verification.
5387
538810. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5389 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5390
539111. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5392 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5393
539412. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5395 ignore_target_hosts.
5396
539713. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5398 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5399 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5400 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5401 "[x.x.x.x]".
5402
540314. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5404 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5405 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5406
540715. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5408 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5409 wake it up if nothing else does.
5410
541116. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5412 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5413 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5414 end up negative.
5415
541617. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5417 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5418
ea3a6f44 541918. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.

542119. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5422 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5423 empty pattern.
5424
542520. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5426 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5427 one IP address.
5428

542921. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5430 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5431 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5432 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5433 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5434 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5435

543622. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5437 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5438 respected.

5439
544023. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5441 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5442 $sender_host_address.
5443
544424. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5445
ea3a6f44
NM
544625. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5447 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5448 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5449
545026. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5451 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5452
ea3a6f44

545327. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5454 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5455
ea3a6f44
NM
545628. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5457 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5458 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5459 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
5460
546129. eximstats updated to version 1.35
5462 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
5463 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
5464
ea3a6f44
NM
546530. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5466 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5467 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5468 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 5469
ea3a6f44
NM
547031. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5471 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5472 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 5473

547431. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5475 autoreply.
bbe902f0 5476
ea3a6f44
NM
547732. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5478 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5479 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5480 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5481 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5482 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5483 is going on).
bbe902f0 5484
ea3a6f44
NM
548533. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5486 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5487 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5488 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0

5489 CAN-2005-0021
5490
ea3a6f44
NM
549134. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5492 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5493 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5494 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5495 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5496 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5497 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5498
5499 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5500 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5501 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5502 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5503 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5504 running as the user.

550735. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5508 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5509 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.

5510 CAN-2005-0022

551236. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5513 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5514 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5515 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5516 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 5517
ea3a6f44
NM
551837. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5519 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5520 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5521 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5522 the caching.)
bbe902f0 5523

552438. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5525 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5526 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5527 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5528 because the tests only now provoked it.

5531Exim version 4.43
5532-----------------
5533
5534 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5535 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5536 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5537 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5538 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5539 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5540 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5541
5542 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5543 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5544 the delivery.
5545
5546 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5547
5548 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5549
5550 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5551 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5552 to local_scan().
5553
5554 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5555 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5556 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5557 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5558 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5559
5560 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5561 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5562
5563 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5564
5565 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5566
556710. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5568 header_sender only.
5569
557011. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5571 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5572
557312. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5574 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5575 affecting debugging statements).
5576
557713. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5578
557914. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5580 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5581 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5582 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5583 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5584 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5585 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5586 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5587 after the received time, and all would be well.
5588
558915. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5590 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5591 condition in an expansion string.
5592
559316. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5594
559517. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5596 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5597 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5598 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5599 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5600 job under whatever limits there are.
5601
560218. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5603
560419. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5605 space).
5606
560720. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5608 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5609 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5610 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5611 return path is set.
5612
561321. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5614 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5615 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5616 binary data in such strings.
5617
561822. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5619
562023. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5621 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5622 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5623 failure, which is pointless.
5624
562524. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5626
562725. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5628
562926. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5630 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5631 Sender: header lines.
5632
563327. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5634 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5635 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5636
563728. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5638 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5639 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5640 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5641 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5642 happens.
5643
564429. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5645 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5646 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5647 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5648 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5649
565030. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5651 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5652 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5653 1024.
5654
565531. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5656 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5657
565832. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5659 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5660
566133. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5662
566332. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5664
566533. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5666
566734. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5668 syntax error.
5669
567035. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5671
567236. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5673
567437. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5675 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5676 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5677 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5678
567938. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5680 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5681
5682
5683Exim version 4.42
5684-----------------
5685
5686 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5687 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5688 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5689 it was not quoted.
5690 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5691 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5692 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5693 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5694 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5695 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5696
5697 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5698 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5699 verification failure".
5700
5701 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5702 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5703 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5704 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5705
5706 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5707 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5708 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5709 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5710 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5711 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5712 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5713 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5714 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5715 treated as a timeout.
5716
5717 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5718 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5719 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5720 not set for Exim filters).
5721
5722 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5723 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5724 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5725
5726 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5727
5728 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5729 try to make them clearer.
5730
5731 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5732 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5733
5734 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5735
5736 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5737
573810. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5739 only the Cygwin environment.
5740
574111. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5742 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5743 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5744 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5745 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5746
574712. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5748 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5749 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5750 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5751 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5752 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5753 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5754
575513. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5756 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5757
575814. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5759
5760 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5761 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5762 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5763
5764 To: susanne@some.where
5765
5766 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5767 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5768 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5769 of addresses in From: header lines).
5770
5771 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5772 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5773 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5774
5775 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5776 treated as non-personal.
5777
5778 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5779 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5780
578115. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5782
578316. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5784
578517. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5786 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5787 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5788
578918. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5790 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5791
579219. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5793 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5794 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5795 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5796 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5797 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5798
579920. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5800 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5801 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5802 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5803 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5804 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5805 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5806 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5807
5808 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5809
581021. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5811 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5812
581322. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5814 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5815 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5816
581723. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5818 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5819
582024. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5821 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5822 rather than long int.
5823
582425. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5825
582626. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5827
5828
5829Exim version 4.41
5830-----------------
5831
5832 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5833 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5834 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5835 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5836 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5837 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5838
5839
5840Exim version 4.40
5841-----------------
5842
5843 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5844 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5845
5846 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5847 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5848 socklen_t is defined.
5849
5850 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5851 always exist.
5852
5853 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5854 configured.
5855
5856 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5857 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5858 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5859 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5860 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5861
5862 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5863 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5864 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5865 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5866
5867 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5868 of flapping under certain conditions.
5869
5870 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5871 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5872 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5873
5874 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5875
587610. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5877
587811. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5879 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5880 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5881 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5882
588312. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5884 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5885 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5886 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5887 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5888 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5889 preserved with the message after it was received.
5890
589113. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5892 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5893 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5894 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5895 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5896 test suite worked just fine.
5897
589814. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5899 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5900 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5901
590215. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5903 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5904 string.
5905
590616. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5907 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5908 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5909 does not fully solve it.
5910
591117. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5912 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5913 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5914 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5915 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5916
591718. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5918 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5919 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5920
592119. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5922 string, for example:
5923
5924 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5925
5926 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5927 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5928 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5929 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5930 the routers could not see them.
5931
593220. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5933 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5934
593521. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5936 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5937 output).
5938
593922. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5940 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5941 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5942 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5943 that needed quoting.
5944
594523. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5946 was not being matched caselessly.
5947
594824. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5949 backslashes.
5950
595125. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5952 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5953 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5954 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5955 when use_sender is false.
5956
595726. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5958
595927. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5960
596128. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5962
596329. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5964 the configuration file.
5965
596630. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5967 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5968
596931. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5970
597132. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5972 bytes in the message body.
5973
597433. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5975 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5976 delivery.
5977
597834. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5979
598035. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5981
598236. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5983 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5984 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5985 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5986 another IP address.
5987
5988
5989Exim version 4.34
5990-----------------
5991
5992 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5993 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5994
5995 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5996 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5997 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5998 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5999 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
6000
6001 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
6002 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
6003
6004 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
6005 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
6006 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
6007
6008 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
6009 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
6010 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
6011
6012 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
6013 for routers.
6014
6015 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
6016 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
6017 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
6018 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
6019 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
6020 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
6021 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
6022
6023
6024Exim version 4.33
6025-----------------
6026
6027 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
6028 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
6029 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
6030 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
6031 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
6032 default (and expected) setting.
6033
6034 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
6035 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
6036 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
6037 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
6038
6039 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
6040 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
6041
6042 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
6043 in domain lists.
6044
6045 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
6046 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
6047 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
6048 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
6049 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
6050 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
6051
6052 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
6053 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
6054 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
6055
6056 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
6057 part (NOT match_host).
6058
6059 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
6060
6061 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
6062 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
6063 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
6064 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
6065 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
6066 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
6067 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
6068 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
6069 the same named file.
6070
607110. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
6072 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
6073 when Exim is built.
6074
607511. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
6076 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
6077 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
6078 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
6079 a host name.
6080
608112. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
6082 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
6083 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
6084
608513. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
6086
608714. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
6088
608915. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
6090
609116. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
6092 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
6093
609417. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
6095 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
6096 before starting the TLS session.
6097
609818. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
6099
610019. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
6101 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
6102
610320. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
6104 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
6105 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
6106 colon in the middle).
6107
6108
6109Exim version 4.32
6110-----------------
6111
6112 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
6113 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
6114 multiple configurations are in use.
6115
6116 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
6117 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6118 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6119 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6120 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6121 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6122
6123 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6124 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6125
6126 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6127 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6128 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6129
6130 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6131 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6132 occurs.
6133
6134 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6135 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6136
6137 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6138
6139 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6140 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6141
6142 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6143
6144 -prval:sval
6145
6146 is equivalent to
6147
6148 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6149
6150 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6151 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6152 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6153 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6154 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6155
615610. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6157 Exim's behaviour:
6158
6159 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6160 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6161 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6162 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6163 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6164 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6165
6166 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6167 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6168 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6169 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6170 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6171 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6172 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6173 string.
6174
6175 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6176 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6177 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6178 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6179 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6180
618111. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6182
618312. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6184 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6185 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6186
618713. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6188
618914. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6190 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6191 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6192 information.
6193
619415. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6195 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6196
619716. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6198 Three changes have been made:
6199
6200 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6201 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6202 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6203 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6204 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6205
6206 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6207 been restored.
6208
6209 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6210 the modified behaviour.
6211
6212
6213Exim version 4.31
6214-----------------
6215
6216 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6217 Larry Rosenman.
6218
6219 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6220 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6221
6222 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6223 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6224 try to track down a specific problem.
6225
6226 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6227 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6228 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6229
6230 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6231 warning.
6232
6233 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6234 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6235 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6236 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6237 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6238 some earlier ones do not.
6239
6240 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6241
6242 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6243 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6244 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6245 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6246 address literals are enabled, of course).
6247
6248 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6249
625010. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6251 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6252 by a command such as
6253
6254 exim -f "" ...
6255
6256 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6257
625811. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6259
626012. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6261 remained set. It is now erased.
6262
626313. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6264 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6265
626614. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6267 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6268 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6269 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6270 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6271 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6272 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6273 appropriate error code.
6274
627515. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6276 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6277 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6278 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6279 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6280 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6281
628216. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6283 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6284 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6285
628617. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6287 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6288 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6289 terminate the header.
6290
629118. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6292 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6293 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6294
629519. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6296 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6297 (4.30/29). In particular:
6298
6299 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6300 imposed.
6301
6302 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6303 to write a maildirsize file.
6304
6305 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6306 the transport, the new value overrides.
6307
6308 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6309 count.
6310
631120. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6312 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6313 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6314 space or a tab.
6315
631621. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6317 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6318 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6319 the fallback hosts.
6320
632122. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6322 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6323 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6324
632523. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6326 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6327 using a union.
6328
632924. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6330 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6331 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6332
633325. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6334
633526. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6336
633727. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6338
633928. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6340 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6341 become corrupted.
6342
634329. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6344 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6345 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6346 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6347 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6348 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6349 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6350 too great.
6351
635230. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6353 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6354 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6355 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6356 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6357 incorrectly.
6358
635931. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6360 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6361 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6362 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6363 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6364 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6365 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6366 cached value only when the same options are set.
6367
636832. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6369
637033. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6371 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6372 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6373 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6374 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6375
637634: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6377 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6378 it is clearly obsolete.
6379
638035. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6381 transport.
6382
638336. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6384 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6385 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6386 times.
6387
638837. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6389 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6390 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6391 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6392 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6393
639438. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6395 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6396 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6397 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6398
639939. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6400
6401 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6402
6403 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6404 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6405 2^31.
6406
640740. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6408 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6409 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6410 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6411 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6412 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6413 $localpart_data.
6414
641541. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6416 with the -f command-line option.
6417
641842. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6419 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6420 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6421 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6422 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6423 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6424
642543. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6426 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6427 line.
6428
642944. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6430 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6431 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6432 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6433 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6434 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6435 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6436 buffer is too small.
6437
643845. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6439 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6440
644146. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6442 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6443 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6444 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6445 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6446 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6447 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6448 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6449 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6450
645147. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6452 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6453 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6454
645548. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6456 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6457 ACL").
6458
645949. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6460 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6461 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6462 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6463 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6464
646550. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6466 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6467 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6468 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6469 is set.
6470
647151. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6472
647352. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6474
647553. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6476 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6477
647854. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6479 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6480 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6481
648255. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6483 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6484 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6485 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6486 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6487
648856. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6489 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6490 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6491 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6492 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6493 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6494 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6495
649657. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6497 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6498 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6499 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6500 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6501 the test of how many are available.
6502
650358. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6504 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6505 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6506 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6507 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6508 new message is started.
6509
651059. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6511 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6512
651360. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6514 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6515
651661. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6517 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6518 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6519 is no long logged.
6520
652162. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6522 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6523 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6524 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6525 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6526 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6527 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6528
652963. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6530 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6531 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6532 interpreted as octal.
6533
653464. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6535 setting.
6536
653765. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6538 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6539 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6540 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6541 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6542 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6543
654466. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6545 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6546 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6547 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6548
6549 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6550 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6551 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6552 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6553
6554 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6555 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6556 is a bug fix.
6557
6558 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6559 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6560
656167. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6562
656368. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6564 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6565 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6566 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6567
656869. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6569 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6570 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6571 supplied", which is not helpful.
6572
657370. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6574 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6575 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6576
657771. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6578 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6579 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6580 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6581 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6582 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6583 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6584 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6585
658672. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6587 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6588 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6589 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6590 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6591
659273. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6593 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6594 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6595 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6596 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6597 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6598
659974. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6600 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6601 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6602
660375. Added write_rejectlog option.
6604
660576. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6606 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6607 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6608 variables.
6609
661077. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6611
661278. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6613 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6614 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6615 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6616 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6617 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6618 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6619 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6620
662179. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6622 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6623 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6624 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6625 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6626
662780. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6628 Haardt.
6629
663081. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6631 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6632 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6633 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6634 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6635 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6636 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6637 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6638 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6639
6640
6641Exim version 4.30
6642-----------------
6643
6644 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6645 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6646 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6647
6648 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6649 fixed.
6650
6651 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6652 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6653 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6654
6655 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6656 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6657 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6658 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6659 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6660 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6661
6662 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6663 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6664 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6665 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6666 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6667 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6668 the Exim test suite.
6669
6670 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6671 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6672 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6673 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6674
6675 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6676 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6677 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6678 specify it in this variable.
6679
6680 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6681 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6682 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6683 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6684
6685 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6686 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6687 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6688 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6689
6690 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6691 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6692 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6693 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6694 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6695
6696 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6697
669810. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6699 they are logged.
6700
670111. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6702 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6703 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6704 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6705 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6706
670712. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6708 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6709
671013. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6711 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6712 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6713 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6714 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6715
671614. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6717 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6718
671915. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6720 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6721 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6722
672316. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6724 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6725
672617. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6727 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6728
672918. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6730 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6731 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6732
673319. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6734 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6735
673620. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6737 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6738 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6739 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6740
674121. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6742
674322. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6744 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6745 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6746 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6747
674823. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6749
675024. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6751 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6752
675325. Added .include_if_exists.
6754
675526. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6756 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6757 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6758 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6759 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6760 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6761
676227. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6763
676428. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6765 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6766 this.
6767
676829. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6769
677030. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6771 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6772
6773 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6774 550 Sender verify failed
6775
6776 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6777 the final line of the response.
6778
677931. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6780 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6781 all other user lookups.
6782
678332. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6784 delivery time.
6785
678633. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6787 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6788 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6789 result into an int without checking.
6790
679134. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6792 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6793 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6794
679535. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6796 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6797 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6798 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6799
680036. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6801 correctly.
6802
680337. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6804 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6805
680638. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6807 to the empty sender.
6808
680939. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6810 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6811 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6812 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6813 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6814 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6815 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6816 panic log.
6817
681840. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6819 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6820 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6821 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6822 used.
6823
682441. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6825 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6826
682742. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6828 timestamps.
6829
683043. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6831 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6832
683344. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6834
683545. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6836 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6837 logs.
6838
683946. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6840 as soon as it is encountered.
6841
684247. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6843
684448. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6845 rewritten to "<>".
6846
684749. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6848 recognizes a tab character.
6849
685050. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6851 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6852 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6853 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6854
685551. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6856
685752. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6858 crash.
6859
686053. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6861
686254. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6863
686455. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6865 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6866 2822.
6867
686856. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6869 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6870 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6871 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6872 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6873
687457. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6875 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6876
687758. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6878 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6879 list (.included file names were always shown).
6880
688159. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6882 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6883 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6884 root at that time.
6885
688660. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6887 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6888
688961. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6890
689162. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6892
689363. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6894
689564. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6896 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6897 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6898 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6899 failures to open the logs.
6900
690165. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6902 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6903 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6904 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6905 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6906 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6907 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6908
6909
6910Exim version 4.24
6911-----------------
6912
6913 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6914 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6915 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6916 change 4.23/1.
6917
6918 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6919 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6920 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6921
6922 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6923 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6924 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6925
6926 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6927 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6928 causing some misleading effects.
6929
6930 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6931 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6932 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6933
6934 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6935 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6936 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6937 queue-runner function directly.
6938
6939
6940Exim version 4.23
6941-----------------
6942
6943 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6944 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6945
6946 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6947 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6948 was always written to the default place.
6949
6950 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6951 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6952 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6953
6954 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6955
6956 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6957
6958 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6959 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6960 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6961
6962 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6963 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6964 must start.
6965
6966 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6967 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6968 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6969
6970 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6971 command line option is disabled.
6972
6973 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6974 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6975
6976 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6977
6978 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6979
6980 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6981 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6982
698310. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6984
698511. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6986 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6987 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6988 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6989 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6990 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6991
699212. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6993 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6994 timeout.
6995
699613. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6997 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6998
699914. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
7000 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
7001
700215. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
7003 received was valid base64.
7004
700516. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
7006 name of the variable that was being set.
7007
700817. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
7009
701018. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
7011 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
7012 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
7013 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
7014 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
7015 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
7016
701719. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
7018
701920. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
7020 nor realm was specified.
7021
702221. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
7023 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
7024 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
7025 errors are given to SMTP connections.
7026
702722. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
7028 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
7029 failing to send a response to QUIT.
7030
703123. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
7032 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
7033 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
7034
703524. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
7036 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
7037 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
7038 some systems use these upper case variants.
7039
704025. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
7041 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
7042 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
7043 socket" when it tried to send the third.
7044
704526. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
7046
704727. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
7048 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
7049
705028. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
7051 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
7052 expansion variable.
7053
705429. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
7055
705630. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
7057 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
7058 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
7059 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
7060
706131. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
7062 using it.
7063
706432. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
7065 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
7066 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
7067
706833. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
7069 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
7070
707134. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
7072 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
7073 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
7074 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
7075
707635. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
7077 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
7078 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
7079
708036. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
7081
708237. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
7083 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
7084 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
7085 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
7086 aborted.
7087
708838. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
7089 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
7090 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
7091
709239. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
7093
709440. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
7095 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
7096
709741. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
7098 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
7099
710042. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
7101 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
7102 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
7103 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
7104 when emails are that large.
7105
7106
7107
7108Exim version 4.22
7109-----------------
7110
7111 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
7112 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
7113
7114 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
7115 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
7116 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
7117
7118 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7119 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7120 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7121
7122 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7123 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7124 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7125 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7126 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7127
7128 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7129 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7130 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7131 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7132 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7133 ever.
7134
7135 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7136 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7137 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7138 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7139 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7140 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7141 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7142 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7143 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7144 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7145 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7146 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7147 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7148 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7149
7150 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7151 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7152 parameterised it.
7153
7154 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7155 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7156 error should be diagnosed.
7157
7158 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7159 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7160 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7161 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7162 appeared instead of "NULL".
7163
716410. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7165 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7166 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7167 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7168 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7169 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7170 proceeds).
7171
7172 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7173 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7174 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7175
7176
7177Exim version 4.21
7178-----------------
7179
7180 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7181 or receiver verification errors.
7182
7183 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7184 name.
7185
7186 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7187 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7188 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7189 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7190
7191 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7192 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7193 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7194 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7195 shouldn't happen again.
7196
7197 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7198 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7199 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7200
7201 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7202 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7203
7204 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7205
7206 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7207 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7208
7209 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7210 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7211 RFC.
7212
721310. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7214 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7215 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7216
721711. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7218 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7219 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7220 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7221
722212. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7223 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7224 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7225 to define what should happen).
7226
722713. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7228 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7229 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7230
723114. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7232
723315. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7234
723516. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7236 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7237
4c04137d 723817. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7239 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7240 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7241 structure in all cases.
7242
7243 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7244 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7245 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7246 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7247
724818. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7249 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7250 domain name.
7251
725219. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7253 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7254
725520. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7256 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7257
725821. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7259 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7260 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7261
726222. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7263 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7264 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7265
726623. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7267 the book and for uniformity.
7268
726924. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7270
727125. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7272 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7273 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7274 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7275 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7276 non-existent command as the problem.
7277
727826. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7279 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7280 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7281
728227. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7283
728428. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7285 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7286 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7287
728829. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7289 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7290 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7291 timestamps using strftime().
7292
729330. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7294 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7295
729632. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7297 transport-time rewrites.
7298
729933. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7300 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7301 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7302 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7303
730434. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7305 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7306
730735. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7308 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7309 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7310 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7311 comma and a space.
7312
731336. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7314 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7315 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7316 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7317 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7318 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7319 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7320
732137. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7322 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7323 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7324 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7325 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7326
732738. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7328 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7329 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7330 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7331 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7332 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7333 remaining text gets split now.
7334
733539. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7336 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7337 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7338 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7339
734040. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7341 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7342 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7343 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7344 $return_path.
7345
734641. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7347 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7348 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7349 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7350 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7351 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7352 passed through if needed.
7353
735442. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7355 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7356 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7357 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7358 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7359 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7360
736143. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7362 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7363 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7364 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7365 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7366
736744. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7368 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7369 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7370 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7371 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7372
737345. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7374 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7375 noticed.
7376
737746. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7378 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7379 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7380 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7381 mayhem of various kinds.
7382
738347. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7384 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7385 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7386 the right test for positive values.
7387
738848. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7389 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7390 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7391 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7392 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7393 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7394 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7395 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7396 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7397 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7398 envelope.
7399
740049. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7401 module.
7402
740350. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7404 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7405 forbidding it.
7406
740751. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7408 the existing equality matching.
7409
741052. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7411 dealing with inode numbers.
7412
741353. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7414 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7415 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7416
741754. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7418 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7419 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7420 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7421 local_scan().
7422
742355. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7424 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7425 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7426 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7427 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7428 relay addresses has also been removed.
7429
743056. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7431
743257. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7433 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7434 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7435
743658. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7437 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7438 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7439 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7440 processing applies to CR:
7441
7442 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7443 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7444
7445 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7446 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7447 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7448 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7449
745059. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7451 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7452 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7453
745460. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7455 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7456 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7457 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7458 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7459 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7460 arisen.
7461
746261. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7463 program routers.
7464
746562. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7466 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7467 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7468 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7469 adds:
7470
7471 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7472
7473 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7474
7475 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7476
747763. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7478 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7479 not considered personal.
7480
748164. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7482
748365. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7484
748566. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7486
748767. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7488 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7489 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7490 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7491 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7492 header lines, and spool format errors.
7493
749468. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7495 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7496 for more flexibility.
7497
749869. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7499 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7500 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7501
750270. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7503 Sabourenkov.
7504
750571. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7506 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7507 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7508 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7509 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7510 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7511 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7512 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7513 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7514
751572. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7516 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7517 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7518 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7519 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7520 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7521 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7522
752373. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7524 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7525 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7526
752774. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7528 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7529 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7530 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7531 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7532 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7533 instead of killing the process with assert().
7534
753575. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7536 than Unicode encoding.
7537
753876. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7539 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7540 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7541 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7542
754377. Added process_log_path.
7544
754578. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7546 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7547
754879. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7549 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7550
755180. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7552 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7553 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7554
755581. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7556 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7557 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7558 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7559 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7560 were applied:
7561
7562 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7563 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7564 as invalid.
7565
756682. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7567 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7568 they will be used during message reception.
7569
