Tony Finch [Mon, 13 Jun 2011 20:48:24 +0000 (21:48 +0100)]
Improved ratelimit ACL condition.

Replace /noupdate with simpler /readonly option. (/noupdate is
supported for backwards compatibility but no longer documented.)

Better checking of the compatibility between per_* options and the
ACL in which the ratelimit condition appears.

Better handling of the start of a burst of email and of very low-rate
clients.

The new /count= option generalizes the per_byte and per_rcpt options.

The new /unique= option is a rather groovy use for a Bloom filter.

13 years agoexiwhat: Ensure the SIGUSR1 signal handler is safe.
Tony Finch [Tue, 7 Jun 2011 15:48:44 +0000 (16:48 +0100)]
exiwhat: Ensure the SIGUSR1 signal handler is safe.

exiwhat sends a SIGUSR1 to all exim processes to make them write
their status to the process log. This is all done in the signal
handler, but the logging code makes a number of calls that are not
signal safe. These can all cause crashes or recursive locking in
libc.

Firstly, obtaining and formatting the timestamp is not safe.
Doing so is unnecessary since exiwhat strips off the timestamp.
This change removes timestamps from the process log.

Secondly, exim closes all the logs after writing the process
log. Closing syslog is not signal safe, and isn't necessary.
We now only close the process log after writing to it.

Thirdly, exim may calculate the process_log_path inside the signal
handler which involves some possibly-unsafe string handling code.
This change calculates the path when reading the configuration.

Fourthly, when exim creates the process log file it might have to
call the unsafe directory_create() though this is unlikely in
practice. After this change exim only calls log_create() in a
subprocess which is safe - it sometimes needs to do so anyway, if
it is running as root and needs to drop privileges.

The new code has no process log handling in log.c which eliminates
some awkward special cases. It uses very simple code to write to
the file in the signal handler, so it is obviously safe by inspection.
