I have changed it to + "/bin:/usr/bin". + +PH/04 SUPPORT_TRANSLATE_IP_ADDRESS and MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES did not cause + anything to be listed in the output from -bV. + +PH/05 When a filter generated an autoreply, the entire To: header line was + quoted in the delivery log line, like this: + + => >A.N.Other ... + + This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There + may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like + this: + + => >ano@some.domain,ona@other.domain ... + +PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO + command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was + not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the + IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were + identical. For example: + + Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4]) + + However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data + if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it + doesn't show the same IP address twice. + +PH/07 When both +timestamp and +memory debugging was on, the value given by + $tod_xxx expansions could be wrong, because the tod_stamp() function was + called by the debug printing, thereby overwriting the timestamp buffer. + Debugging no longer uses the tod_stamp() function when +timestamp is set. + +PH/08 When the original message was included in an autoreply transport, it + always said "this is a copy of the message, including all the headers", + even if body_only or headers_only was set. It now gives an appropriate + message. + +PH/09 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which: + + o fixes some comments + o adds the (disabled) notify extension core + o adds some debug output for the result of if/elsif tests + o points to the current vacation draft in the documentation + and documents the missing references header update + + and most important: + + o fixes a bug in processing the envelope test (when testing + multiple envelope elements, the last element determinted the + result) + +PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to + Electronic Mail") by including: + + Auto-submitted: auto-generated + + in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as + warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was + also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of + hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response + to another message, thes have all been changed to: + + Auto-Submitted: auto-replied + + in accordance with these statements in the RFC: + + The auto-replied keyword: + + - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another + message by an automatic process, + + - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages, + + - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message + Disposition Notifications (MDNs), + + - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic + processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to + other messages. + +PH/11 Added "${if def:sender_address {(envelope-from <$sender_address>)\n\t}}" + to the default Received: header definition. + +PH/12 Added log selector acl_warn_skipped (default on). + + +Exim version 4.54 +----------------- + +PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was + set to 36 (for Darwin and Cygwin), but the ${base62d: operator did not. + It now does. + +PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on + the CVS lines, and there was a missing #if HAVE_IPV6 in host.c. + +PH/03 Typo: missing ".o" in src/pcre/Makefile. + +PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-" + header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929. + Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as + non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated + anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.) + +TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax + errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option + now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters + but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain + or /domain=). + +PH/05 Some modifications to the interface to the fake nameserver for the new + testing suite. + +PH/06 Add ${if def:sender_address {(envelope-from <$sender_address>)\n\t}} + into the default Received: header string. + + + Exim version 4.53 ----------------- @@ -124,7 +276,8 @@ PH/29 Added "crypteq" to the list of supported features that Exim outputs when PH/30 Fixed (presumably very longstanding) bug in exim_dbmbuild: if it failed because an input line was too long, either on its own, or by virtue of - too many continuations, the temporary file was not being removed. + too many continuations, the temporary file was not being removed, and the + return code was incorrect.
