Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
18. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
information about exactly what failed.
+19. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.

Exim version 4.43

New Features in Exim
--------------------
The main use of these variables is expected to be to distinguish between
rejections of MAIL and rejections of RCPT.
+ 8. The command line option -dd behaves exactly like -d except when used on a
+ command that starts a daemon process. In that case, debugging is turned off
+ for the subprocesses that the daemon creates. Thus, it is useful for
+ monitoring the behaviour of the daemon without creating as much output as
+ full debugging.

Version 4.43

+-dd + Ditto, but if a daemon, not for subprocesses
-dropcr Remove CR character in input: became a no-op in 4.21
-E Internal use only
-ex * Synonym for -oex (for several different x)
