 Change log file for Exim from version 4.21

@@ -108,6 +108,15 @@ PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
       run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
       for failure.
 
+PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
+      the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
+      from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
+      the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
+      string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
+      (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
+      There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
+      "input=".
