8Exim version 4.93
9-----------------
10
8a40db1c
JH
11JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
12 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 13
fc243e94 14JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
15 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
16 its own TCP segment.
17
897024f1
JH
18JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
19 each verb.
20
f1be21cf
JH
21JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
22
fe12ec88
JH
23JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
24
05bf16f6
JH
25JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
26 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
27
fc243e94
JH
28JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
29 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
30 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
31 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
32 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
33 suitably configured).
34
c05bdbd6 35JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
36 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
37
14bc9cf0
JH
38JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
39 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
40 crash could result.
41
254f38d1
JH
42JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
43 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
44
c09dbcfb
JH
45JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
46 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
47 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
48 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
49 to this system.
254f38d1 50
f9fc9427
JH
51JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
52 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
53 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
54
e6024a5e
JH
55JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
56 output.
57
1fbf41cd
JH
58JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
59 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
60
3c55eef2 61JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 62 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
63 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
64 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
65 input).
66
cb80814d
HSHR
67HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
68 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
69 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
70 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
71 (It was "hdr.$pid".)
72
82a996b1
HSHR
73HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
74 shared (NFS) environment.
75
76HS/02 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
77 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
78 affected.
79
bd83c6f9
JH
80JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
81 on some platforms for bit 31.
82
d9acfc1c
JH
83JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
84 to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
85 previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
86 like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
87 and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
88 the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
89 This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
90 and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
91
b10c87b3
JH
92JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
93
7a501c87
JH
94JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
95 verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.

JH
98Exim version 4.92
99-----------------
100
9723f966
JH
101JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
102 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
103
104JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
105 non-signal-safe functions being used.
106
107JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
108 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
109 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 110
ea7b1f16
JH
111JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
112 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
113 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
114
cfbb0d24
JH
115JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
116 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
117 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
118 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
119 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
120 messed with.
121
85defcf0
PP
122PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
123 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
124
1bd642c2
JH
125JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
126 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
127 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
128 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
129 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
130 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
131 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
132
2ddb4094
JH
133JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
134 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
135
1613fd68
JH
136JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
137 legitimate.
138
e6057245
JH
139JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
140 Previously this would segfault.
141
7b9822bf
JH
142JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
143 segfault.
144
d8d9f930
JH
145JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
146 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
147 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
148 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
149 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
150 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
151
61e3f250
JH
152JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
153
7a8b9519
JH
154JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
155 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
156 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
157 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
158
49e56fb3
JH
159JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
160
74f1a423
JH
161JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
162 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
163 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
164 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
165
5054c4fd 166JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
167
168JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
5054c4fd 169
946515bf
JH
170JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
171 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
172 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
173
8c34c611
JH
174JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
175 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
176 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
177

PP
178PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
179
8a6b4e02
JH
180JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
181 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
182 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
183 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
184
0a682b6c
PP
185PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
186 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
187 promised '?' replacement.
188
c2c451ac
PP
189PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
190
8768d548
JH
191JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
192 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
193 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
194 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
195 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
196
5455f548
JH
197JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
198 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
199 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
200
25beaee4
MK
201JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
202 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
203 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
204
7ea1237c 205JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 206 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
207 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
208
ebda598a
JH
209JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
210 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
211 hope that is portable enough.
212
570cb1bd
JH
213JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
214 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
215 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
216 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
217
eb58ddf5
JH
218JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
219 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
220 SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
221
ffbc20ed
MK
222JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
223 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
224 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
225 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
226
4e928780
MK
227JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
228 msg:fail:internal event. Developement by Matthias Kurz.
229
75c121f0 230JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
059f2ace 231 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all
75c121f0
JH
232 the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
233 overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
234
e30f4f43
JH
235JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
236 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
237 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
238
a45431fa
JH
239JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
240 platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
241 (i.e. more than 2 TB). Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
242 the previous G, M, k.
243
c0fb53b7
JH
244JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
245 $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure. Previously
246 it was unset.
247
6aac3239
JH
248JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048. RHEL 8.0
249 OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key. Do for GnuTLS also, and for
250 more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
251 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.
252
5a2a0989
JH
253JH/35 OpenSSL: fail the handshake when SNI processing hits a problem, server
254 side. Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.
255
de6f74f2 256JH/36 Harden the handling of string-lists. When a list consisted of a sole
b72f857f
JH
257 "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked
258 off past the nul-terimation.
259
de6f74f2
JH
260JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external
261 causes) even when the retry time is not yet met. Previously they were
262 not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting,
263 and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get
264 notified on each configured delay_warning cycle.
265
aa6e77af 266JH/38 Bug 2351: Log failures to extract envelope addresses from message headers.
aaf3e414 267
25fa0868
JH
268JH/39 OpenSSL: clear the error stack after an SSL_accept(). With anon-auth
269 cipher-suites, an error can be left on the stack even for a succeeding
270 accept; this results in impossible error messages when a later operation
271 actually does fail.
272
cb6bd80f
JH
273AM/01 Bug 2359: GnuTLS: repeat lowlevel read and write operations while they
274 return error codes indicating retry. Under TLS1.3 this becomes required.
275
276JH/40 Fix the feature-cache refresh for EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT. Previously
277 it only wrote the new authenticators, resulting in a lack of tracking of
278 peer changes of ESMTP extensions until the next cache flush.
518b70e9 279
56ac062a
JH
280JH/41 Fix the loop reading a message header line to check for integer overflow,
281 and more-often against header_maxsize. Previously a crafted message could
282 induce a crash of the recive process; now the message is cleanly rejected.
283

284JH/42 Bug 2366: Fix the behaviour of the dkim_verify_signers option. It had

289-----------------

c39c8870 291GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
bb264f6b
JH
292 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
293 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
294 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
295 next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
296 be defined in redis_servers.

a05d3e34
JH
312JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
313 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
314 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
315 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
316 input.
317
ce93c6d8
JH
318JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
319 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
320 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
321 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
322 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
323 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
324 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
325 Main pool for expansions.
326 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
327 active in the testsuite.
328 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.

330JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
331 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
332 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
333 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
334 round-robin DNS.

336JH/07 Bug 2214: Fix SMTP responses resulting from non-accept result of MIME ACL.

JH
354JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating
355 SMTP connection. Previously, when one had more receipients than the
356 first, an abortive onward connection was made. Move to full support for
357 multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
358 for all multi-message initiating connections.
359
f83a760f
JH
360JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by
361 routers. Previously, a multi-recipient message would fail to match the
362 onward-connection opened for the first recipient, and cause its closure.
363
f1fed05b
JH
364JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
365 a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
366 initiating connection being dropped. This mattered most when the callout
367 was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
368 separate.

JH
370JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in

435JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
436 as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
437 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
438 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
439 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
440 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
441 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
442 receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
443 (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).

820JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
821 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
822 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
823 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
824 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
825 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
826 if one fails this test.
827 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
828 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1642TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1643
1644 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1645 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1646 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1647 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1648 the retry rules.
1649
1650 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1651 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1652 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1653
1654 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1655 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1656 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1657 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1658
1ddeb334
TF
1659 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1660 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1661 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1662 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1663 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1664 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1665 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1666
1667 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1668 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1675
1676 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1677 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1678 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1679 username as equal to the username.
1680

1990TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1991 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1992 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1993
1994 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1995 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1996 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1997 not safe for signals.
1998
1999 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2000 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2001 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2002 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2003 exiwhat.

TF
2005TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2006
2007 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2008 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2009 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2010 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 2011 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
2012
2013 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2014 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2015 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2016 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2017 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2018 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2019
2020 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2021 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2022 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2023 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2024
2025 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2026 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2027 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2028 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2029
2030 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2031 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2032 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2033 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2034 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2035 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2036 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2037 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2038 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2039
2040 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2041 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2042 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2043 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2044
2045 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2046 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2047 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2048 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2049 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2050 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2051 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2052 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2053 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2054 details in the main documentation.

2605 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2623Exim version 4.68
2624-----------------
2625
2626PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2627
6a3bceb1
PH
2628PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2629 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2630 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2631 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2632 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2633 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2634 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2635 for iplsearch lookups.
2636
2637 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2638 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2639 previously such lookups could never work.
2640
4c04137d 2641 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2642 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2643 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2648MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2649 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2650 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2651 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2652 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2653 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2658MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2659 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2660 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2661 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2662 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2663 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2846PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2847 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2849 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2850 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2851 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2852 pipelining has not been advertised.

2908 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the

PH
2926 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2927 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2928 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2929 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2930 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2931 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2932 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2933 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2944PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2945 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2946
2947 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2948 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2949
2950 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2951 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2952 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2953
2954 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2955 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2956 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2957 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2958 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2975 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2976 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2977 rather than extend the field.

PH
3002PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3003 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3004 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3005 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3006 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3007 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3008 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3009 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3010 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3011 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3012 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3049 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3050 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3051 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3052 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host

3058 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3059 function.
3060 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3061 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3062 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3063 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3064 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3065 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3066 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3067 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3068 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3073PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
3074 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3075 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3076 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3077 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3078 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3079 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3080 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
3086PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3087 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3088 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3089 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3090 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3091 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3092 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3093 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3094 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3095 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3096 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3097 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3098 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

3100PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3101 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3102 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3103 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3104 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3105 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3106 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

3108PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3109 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3110 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3111 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3112 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3113 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3114 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3115 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3116 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3117 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

3125PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3126 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3127 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3128 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3129 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3130 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3131 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3170
3171PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3172 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3173 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3174 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3175 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3176 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3177 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3178 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3179 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3180
3181 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3182 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3183 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3184 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3185 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3186 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3187 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3188 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3189 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3190
3191 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3192 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3193 hammering the server.

3211 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3212 fails.

48c7f9e2
PH
3214PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3215 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3216 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3217 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3218 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2

3219 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3220 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3221 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3222 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the

3491PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
3492 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
3493 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3494 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3495 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3496 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3497 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3498 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3499 451 error is used.

3521PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash

3524 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
3525 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
3526 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota

3533-----------------
3534
3535PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3536 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3537 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3538 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3539 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3540 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3541 addresses as local.

3583 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3584 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3585 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3586 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a

3618PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3619 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3620 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3621 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3622 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3623 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3624 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3625 values from the SRV records were lost.

3627PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

727071f8
PH
3635PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3636 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3637 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3638 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3639 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3640 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3641 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3642 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3643 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3740PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3741 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3742 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3743 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3744 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3745 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3746 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3747 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3748 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

3786
3787 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given

3789 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3790 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3791
3792 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3793 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3794 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3795
3796PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3797 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the

3859 been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_

3870PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3871 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3872 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3873 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3874 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3875 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3876 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3877 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3878 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3879 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3880 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3902 not a single digit.
3903
3904 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
3905 string.
3906
3907 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
3908 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
3909 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3910 silly things.
3911
3912 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
3913 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
3914
3915 (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result
3916 inside the third argument.

3930 This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There
3931 may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like

PH
3936PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
3937 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
3938 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
3939 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3940 identical. For example:
3941
3942 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3943
3944 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
3945 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
3946 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

PH
3979 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of

3983 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied

3990 message by an automatic process,

4035PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
4036 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
4037 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
4038 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4039 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4040 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4041 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4042 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4043 the text comparison.

PH
4045PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was

4342 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to

4350 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
4351 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4352 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4428 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
4429 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks

4560
4561PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4562 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4563 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4564 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4565 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4566 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4567 file.
4568
4569PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4570 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4571 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4572 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4573 these two options.
4574
4575PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4576 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4577 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4578 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4579 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4580 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4581 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4582 address.

PH
4583
4584PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T

4587PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4588 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4589 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4590 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4591 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4592 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4593
4594PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

4628 and controls are allowed in which ACLs. There were a couple of minor
4629 errors. Some of the entries in the conditions table (which is a table of
4630 where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a
4631 negation of where the condition IS allowed.

4644PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
4645 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
4646 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4647 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4648 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4649 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4650 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
4651 for failure.

4653PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
4654 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
4655 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
4656 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4657 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
4658 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.

PH
4670PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4671 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4672 understands it better than I do:
4673
4674 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4675 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4676
4677 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4678 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4679 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4680 => three warnings about OTP not working
4681 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4682
4683 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4684 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4685 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4686 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4687 for each call.)
4688 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4689 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4690
4691 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4692 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4693 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

PH
4757PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4758 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4759 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4760 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4761 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4762 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4763 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4764
4765 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4766 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4767 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4768 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4769 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4770
4771 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4772 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4773 routed further.

4817 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4818 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4819 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4820 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4821 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4822 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

4832A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4833----------------------------------------
4834
4835Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4836changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4837needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4838in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4839that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4840release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4841from 4.43.
4842
4843I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
48444.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4845those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4846historical information.

4864 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4865 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4866 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4867 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4868 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

4873 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4874 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4875 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

4924
492523. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4926 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4927 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4928 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4929 "[x.x.x.x]".

4934
493525. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore

494929. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4950 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4951 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4952 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4953 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4954 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4955 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4956 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.

495830. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the

PH
496231. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4963 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former

4965 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.

PH
496732. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4968 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4969 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4970 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4971 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4972 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4973
063b1e99
PH
497433. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4975 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4976 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4977 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4978
652e1b65
PH
497934. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4980 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now

PH
498736. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4988 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4989 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4990 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4991 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4992 very small.

PH
499437. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.

PH
502644. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
5027
502845. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5029 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5030 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5031 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5032 because the tests only now provoked it.

PH
503747. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5038 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5039 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5040 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.

504248. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.

504449. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5045 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5046 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5047 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.

PH
505652. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5057 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5058 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5059 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5060 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5061 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5062 is going on).
5063

PH
506453. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5065 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5066 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5067 the line.
5068

PH
506954. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5070 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5071 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5072
5073 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5074 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5075 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5076 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5077 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5078 so I produce this patch..."
5079
3295e65b
PH
5080 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5081 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5082 is not defined.
5083
7102e136
PH
508455. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5085 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
5086 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5087 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

PH
509558. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep

PH
509859. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5099
5100 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5101 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5102 of $primary_hostname.
5103
b975ba52
PH
510460. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5105 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5106 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5107 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5108 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5109 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5110 by change 4.50/55 above.
5111
5112 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5113 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5114 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5115 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5116 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5117 running as the user.

PH
512863. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5129 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5130 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5131 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5132 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5133

PH
513464. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5135 This has been fixed.
5136
60dc5e56
PH
513765. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5138 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5139 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5140 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5141 the caching.)

PH
514366. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.

PH
514567. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5146 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5147 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5148 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5149
7e634d24
PH
515068. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5151 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.

PH
515369. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5154 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5155 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5156
6729cf78
PH
515770. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5158 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5159 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5160 message there.
5161
00f00ca5
PH
516271. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5163 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5164 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5165
c9bdd01c
PH
516672. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5167 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5168 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5169 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5170

517173. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5172 during host lookups.

PH
517474. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5175 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5176
5177 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5178
76a2d7ba
PH
517975. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5180 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5181 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5182 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5183 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5184 background.
5185
518676. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5187 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5188
04f7d5b9
PH
518977. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5190 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5191 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5192
bc60667e
PH
519378. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5194
bb6e88ff
PH
519579. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5196 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5197 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5198 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5199 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5200 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5201 process earlier.
5202
1e70f85b
PH
520380. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5204 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5205 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5206 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5207 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5208
520981. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5210 tables).

5223----------------------------------------------------
5224See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5225----------------------------------------------------
5226
5227
5228Exim version 4.44
5229-----------------
5230
5231 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5232 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5233 transport
5234
5235 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5236 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5237 place.
5238
5239 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5240 filter fails to execute.
5241
5242 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5243 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5244 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5245 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5246 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5247
5248 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5249 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5250 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5251 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5252
5253 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5254 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5255 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5256 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5257 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5258
5259 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5260
5261 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5262 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5263 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5264 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5265
5266 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5267 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5268 sender verification.
5269
527010. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5271 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5272
527311. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5274 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5275
527612. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5277 ignore_target_hosts.
5278
527913. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5280 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5281 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5282 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5283 "[x.x.x.x]".
5284
528514. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5286 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5287 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5288
528915. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5290 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5291 wake it up if nothing else does.
5292
529316. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5294 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5295 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5296 end up negative.
5297
529817. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5299 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5300
ea3a6f44 530118. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5302
530319. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5304 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5305 empty pattern.
5306
530720. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5308 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5309 one IP address.
5310
ea3a6f44
NM
531121. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5312 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5313 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5314 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5315 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5316 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5317
ea3a6f44
NM
531822. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5319 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5320 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5321
532223. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5323 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5324 $sender_host_address.
5325
532624. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5327
ea3a6f44
NM
532825. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5329 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5330 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5331
533226. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5333 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5334
ea3a6f44
NM
533527. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5336 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5337
ea3a6f44
NM
533828. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5339 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5340 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5341 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0

5342
534329. eximstats updated to version 1.35

5408 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the

5416 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5417 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5418 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5419 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5420 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5421 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5422 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5423
5424 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5425 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5426 the delivery.
5427
5428 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5429
5430 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5431
5432 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5433 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5434 to local_scan().
5435
5436 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5437 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5438 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5439 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5440 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5441
5442 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5443 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5444
5445 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5446
5447 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5448
544910. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5450 header_sender only.
5451
545211. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5453 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5454
545512. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5456 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5457 affecting debugging statements).
5458
545913. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5460
546114. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5462 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5463 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5464 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5465 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5466 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5467 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5468 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5469 after the received time, and all would be well.
5470
547115. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5472 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5473 condition in an expansion string.
5474
547516. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5476
547717. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5478 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5479 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5480 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5481 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5482 job under whatever limits there are.
5483
548418. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5485
548619. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5487 space).
5488
548920. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5490 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5491 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5492 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5493 return path is set.
5494
549521. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5496 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5497 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5498 binary data in such strings.
5499
550022. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5501
550223. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5503 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5504 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5505 failure, which is pointless.
5506
550724. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5508
550925. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5510
551126. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5512 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5513 Sender: header lines.
5514
551527. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5516 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5517 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5518
551928. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5520 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5521 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5522 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5523 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5524 happens.
5525
552629. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5527 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5528 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5529 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5530 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5531
553230. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5533 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5534 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5535 1024.
5536
553731. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5538 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5539
554032. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5541 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5542
554333. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5544
554532. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5546
554733. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5548
554934. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5550 syntax error.
5551
555235. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5553
555436. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5555
555637. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5557 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5558 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5559 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5560
556138. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5562 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5563
5564
5565Exim version 4.42
5566-----------------
5567
5568 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5569 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5570 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5571 it was not quoted.
5572 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5573 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5574 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5575 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5576 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5577 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5578
5579 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5580 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5581 verification failure".
5582
5583 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5584 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5585 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5586 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5587
5588 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5589 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5590 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5591 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5592 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5593 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5594 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5595 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5596 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5597 treated as a timeout.
5598
5599 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5600 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5601 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5602 not set for Exim filters).
5603
5604 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5605 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5606 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5607
5608 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5609
5610 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5611 try to make them clearer.
5612
5613 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5614 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5615
5616 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5617
5618 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5619
562010. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5621 only the Cygwin environment.
5622
562311. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5624 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5625 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5626 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5627 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5628
562912. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5630 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5631 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5632 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5633 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5634 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5635 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5636
563713. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5638 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5639
564014. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5641
5642 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5643 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5644 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5645
5646 To: susanne@some.where
5647
5648 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5649 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5650 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5651 of addresses in From: header lines).
5652
5653 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5654 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5655 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5656
5657 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5658 treated as non-personal.
5659
5660 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5661 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5662
566315. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5664
566516. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5666
566717. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5668 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5669 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5670
567118. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5672 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5673
567419. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5675 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5676 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5677 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5678 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5679 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5680
568120. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5682 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5683 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5684 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5685 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5686 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5687 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5688 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5689
5690 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5691
569221. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5693 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5694
569522. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5696 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5697 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5698
569923. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5700 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5701
570224. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5703 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5704 rather than long int.
5705
570625. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5707
570826. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5709
5710
5711Exim version 4.41
5712-----------------
5713
5714 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5715 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5716 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5717 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5718 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5719 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5720
5721
5722Exim version 4.40
5723-----------------
5724
5725 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5726 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5727
5728 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5729 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5730 socklen_t is defined.
5731
5732 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5733 always exist.
5734
5735 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5736 configured.
5737
5738 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5739 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5740 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5741 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5742 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5743
5744 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5745 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5746 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5747 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5748
5749 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5750 of flapping under certain conditions.
5751
5752 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5753 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5754 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5755
5756 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5757
575810. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5759
576011. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5761 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5762 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5763 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5764
576512. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5766 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5767 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5768 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5769 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5770 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5771 preserved with the message after it was received.
5772
577313. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5774 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5775 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5776 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5777 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5778 test suite worked just fine.
5779
578014. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5781 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5782 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5783
578415. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5785 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5786 string.
5787
578816. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5789 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5790 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5791 does not fully solve it.
5792
579317. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5794 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5795 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5796 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5797 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5798
579918. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5800 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5801 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5802
580319. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5804 string, for example:
5805
5806 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5807
5808 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5809 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5810 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5811 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5812 the routers could not see them.
5813
581420. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5815 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5816
581721. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5818 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5819 output).
5820
582122. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5822 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5823 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5824 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5825 that needed quoting.
5826
582723. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5828 was not being matched caselessly.
5829
583024. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5831 backslashes.
5832
583325. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5834 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5835 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5836 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5837 when use_sender is false.
5838
583926. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5840
584127. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5842
584328. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5844
584529. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5846 the configuration file.
5847
584830. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5849 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5850
585131. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5852
585332. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5854 bytes in the message body.
5855
585633. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5857 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5858 delivery.
5859
586034. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5861
586235. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5863
586436. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5865 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5866 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5867 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5868 another IP address.
5869
5870
5871Exim version 4.34
5872-----------------
5873
5874 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5875 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5876
5877 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5878 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5879 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5880 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5881 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5882
5883 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5884 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5885
5886 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5887 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5888 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5889
5890 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5891 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5892 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5893
5894 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5895 for routers.
5896
5897 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5898 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5899 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5900 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5901 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5902 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5903 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5904
5905
5906Exim version 4.33
5907-----------------
5908
5909 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5910 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5911 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5912 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5913 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5914 default (and expected) setting.
5915
5916 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5917 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5918 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5919 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5920
5921 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5922 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5923
5924 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5925 in domain lists.
5926
5927 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5928 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5929 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5930 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5931 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5932 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5933
5934 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5935 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5936 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5937
5938 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5939 part (NOT match_host).
5940
5941 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5942
5943 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5944 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5945 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5946 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5947 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5948 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5949 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5950 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5951 the same named file.
5952
595310. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5954 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5955 when Exim is built.
5956
595711. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5958 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5959 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5960 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5961 a host name.
5962
596312. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5964 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5965 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5966
596713. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5968
596914. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5970
597115. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5972
597316. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5974 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5975
597617. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5977 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5978 before starting the TLS session.
5979
598018. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5981
598219. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5983 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5984
598520. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5986 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5987 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5988 colon in the middle).
5989
5990
5991Exim version 4.32
5992-----------------
5993
5994 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5995 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5996 multiple configurations are in use.
5997
5998 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5999 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6000 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6001 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6002 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6003 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6004
6005 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6006 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6007
6008 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6009 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6010 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6011
6012 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6013 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6014 occurs.
6015
6016 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6017 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6018
6019 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6020
6021 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6022 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6023
6024 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6025
6026 -prval:sval
6027
6028 is equivalent to
6029
6030 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6031
6032 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6033 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6034 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6035 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6036 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6037
603810. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6039 Exim's behaviour:
6040
6041 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6042 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6043 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6044 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6045 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6046 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6047
6048 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6049 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6050 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6051 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6052 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6053 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6054 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6055 string.
6056
6057 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6058 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6059 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6060 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6061 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6062
606311. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6064
606512. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6066 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6067 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6068
606913. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6070
607114. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6072 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6073 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6074 information.
6075
607615. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6077 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6078
607916. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6080 Three changes have been made:
6081
6082 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6083 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6084 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6085 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6086 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6087
6088 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6089 been restored.
6090
6091 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6092 the modified behaviour.
6093
6094
6095Exim version 4.31
6096-----------------
6097
6098 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6099 Larry Rosenman.
6100
6101 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6102 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6103
6104 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6105 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6106 try to track down a specific problem.
6107
6108 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6109 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6110 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6111
6112 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6113 warning.
6114
6115 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6116 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6117 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6118 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6119 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6120 some earlier ones do not.
6121
6122 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6123
6124 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6125 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6126 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6127 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6128 address literals are enabled, of course).
6129
6130 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6131
613210. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6133 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6134 by a command such as
6135
6136 exim -f "" ...
6137
6138 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6139
614011. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6141
614212. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6143 remained set. It is now erased.
6144
614513. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6146 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6147
614814. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6149 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6150 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6151 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6152 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6153 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6154 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6155 appropriate error code.
6156
615715. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6158 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6159 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6160 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6161 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6162 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6163
616416. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6165 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6166 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6167
616817. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6169 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6170 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6171 terminate the header.
6172
617318. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6174 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6175 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6176
617719. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6178 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6179 (4.30/29). In particular:
6180
6181 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6182 imposed.
6183
6184 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6185 to write a maildirsize file.
6186
6187 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6188 the transport, the new value overrides.
6189
6190 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6191 count.
6192
619320. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6194 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6195 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6196 space or a tab.
6197
619821. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6199 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6200 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6201 the fallback hosts.
6202
620322. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6204 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6205 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6206
620723. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6208 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6209 using a union.
6210
621124. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6212 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6213 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6214
621525. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6216
621726. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6218
621927. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6220
622128. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6222 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6223 become corrupted.
6224
622529. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6226 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6227 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6228 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6229 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6230 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6231 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6232 too great.
6233
623430. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6235 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6236 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6237 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6238 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6239 incorrectly.
6240
624131. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6242 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6243 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6244 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6245 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6246 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6247 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6248 cached value only when the same options are set.
6249
625032. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6251
625233. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6253 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6254 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6255 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6256 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6257
625834: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6259 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6260 it is clearly obsolete.
6261
626235. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6263 transport.
6264
626536. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6266 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6267 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6268 times.
6269
627037. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6271 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6272 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6273 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6274 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6275
627638. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6277 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6278 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6279 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6280
628139. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6282
6283 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6284
6285 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6286 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6287 2^31.
6288
628940. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6290 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6291 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6292 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6293 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6294 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6295 $localpart_data.
6296
629741. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6298 with the -f command-line option.
6299
630042. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6301 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6302 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6303 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6304 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6305 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6306
630743. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6308 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6309 line.
6310
631144. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6312 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6313 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6314 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6315 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6316 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6317 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6318 buffer is too small.
6319
632045. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6321 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6322
632346. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6324 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6325 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6326 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6327 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6328 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6329 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6330 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6331 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6332
633347. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6334 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6335 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6336
633748. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6338 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6339 ACL").
6340
634149. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6342 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6343 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6344 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6345 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6346
634750. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6348 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6349 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6350 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6351 is set.
6352
635351. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6354
635552. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6356
635753. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6358 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6359
636054. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6361 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6362 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6363
636455. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6365 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6366 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6367 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6368 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6369
637056. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6371 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6372 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6373 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6374 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6375 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6376 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6377
637857. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6379 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6380 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6381 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6382 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6383 the test of how many are available.
6384
638558. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6386 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6387 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6388 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6389 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6390 new message is started.
6391
639259. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6393 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6394
639560. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6396 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6397
639861. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6399 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6400 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6401 is no long logged.
6402
640362. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6404 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6405 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6406 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6407 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6408 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6409 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6410
641163. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6412 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6413 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6414 interpreted as octal.
6415
641664. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6417 setting.
6418
641965. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6420 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6421 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6422 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6423 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6424 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6425
642666. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6427 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6428 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6429 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6430
6431 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6432 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6433 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6434 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6435
6436 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6437 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6438 is a bug fix.
6439
6440 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6441 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6442
644367. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6444
644568. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6446 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6447 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6448 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6449
645069. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6451 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6452 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6453 supplied", which is not helpful.
6454
645570. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6456 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6457 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6458
645971. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6460 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6461 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6462 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6463 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6464 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6465 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6466 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6467
646872. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6469 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6470 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6471 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6472 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6473
647473. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6475 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6476 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6477 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6478 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6479 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6480
648174. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6482 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6483 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6484
648575. Added write_rejectlog option.
6486
648776. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6488 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6489 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6490 variables.
6491
649277. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6493
649478. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6495 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6496 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6497 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6498 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6499 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6500 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6501 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6502
650379. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6504 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6505 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6506 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6507 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6508
650980. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6510 Haardt.
6511
651281. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6513 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6514 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6515 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6516 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6517 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6518 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6519 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6520 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6521
6522
6523Exim version 4.30
6524-----------------
6525
6526 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6527 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6528 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6529
6530 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6531 fixed.
6532
6533 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6534 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6535 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6536
6537 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6538 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6539 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6540 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6541 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6542 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6543
6544 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6545 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6546 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6547 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6548 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6549 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6550 the Exim test suite.
6551
6552 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6553 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6554 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6555 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6556
6557 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6558 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6559 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6560 specify it in this variable.
6561
6562 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6563 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6564 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6565 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6566
6567 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6568 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6569 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6570 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6571
6572 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6573 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6574 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6575 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6576 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6577
6578 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6579
658010. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6581 they are logged.
6582
658311. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6584 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6585 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6586 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6587 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6588
658912. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6590 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6591
659213. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6593 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6594 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6595 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6596 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6597
659814. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6599 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6600
660115. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6602 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6603 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6604
660516. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6606 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6607
660817. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6609 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6610
661118. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6612 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6613 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6614
661519. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6616 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6617
661820. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6619 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6620 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6621 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6622
662321. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6624
662522. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6626 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6627 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6628 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6629
663023. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6631
663224. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6633 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6634
663525. Added .include_if_exists.
6636
663726. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6638 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6639 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6640 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6641 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6642 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6643
664427. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6645
664628. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6647 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6648 this.
6649
665029. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6651
665230. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6653 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6654
6655 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6656 550 Sender verify failed
6657
6658 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6659 the final line of the response.
6660
666131. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6662 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6663 all other user lookups.
6664
666532. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6666 delivery time.
6667
666833. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6669 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6670 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6671 result into an int without checking.
6672
667334. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6674 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6675 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6676
667735. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6678 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6679 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6680 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6681
668236. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6683 correctly.
6684
668537. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6686 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6687
668838. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6689 to the empty sender.
6690
669139. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6692 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6693 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6694 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6695 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6696 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6697 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6698 panic log.
6699
670040. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6701 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6702 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6703 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6704 used.
6705
670641. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6707 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6708
670942. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6710 timestamps.
6711
671243. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6713 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6714
671544. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6716
671745. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6718 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6719 logs.
6720
672146. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6722 as soon as it is encountered.
6723
672447. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6725
672648. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6727 rewritten to "<>".
6728
672949. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6730 recognizes a tab character.
6731
673250. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6733 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6734 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6735 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6736
673751. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6738
673952. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6740 crash.
6741
674253. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6743
674454. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6745
674655. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6747 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6748 2822.
6749
675056. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6751 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6752 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6753 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6754 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6755
675657. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6757 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6758
675958. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6760 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6761 list (.included file names were always shown).
6762
676359. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6764 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6765 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6766 root at that time.
6767
676860. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6769 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6770
677161. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6772
677362. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6774
677563. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6776
677764. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6778 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6779 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6780 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6781 failures to open the logs.
6782
678365. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6784 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6785 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6786 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6787 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6788 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6789 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6790
6791
6792Exim version 4.24
6793-----------------
6794
6795 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6796 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6797 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6798 change 4.23/1.
6799
6800 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6801 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6802 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6803
6804 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6805 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6806 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6807
6808 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6809 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6810 causing some misleading effects.
6811
6812 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6813 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6814 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6815
6816 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6817 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6818 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6819 queue-runner function directly.
6820
6821
6822Exim version 4.23
6823-----------------
6824
6825 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6826 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6827
6828 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6829 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6830 was always written to the default place.
6831
6832 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6833 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6834 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6835
6836 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6837
6838 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6839
6840 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6841 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6842 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6843
6844 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6845 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6846 must start.
6847
6848 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6849 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6850 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6851
6852 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6853 command line option is disabled.
6854
6855 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6856 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6857
6858 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6859
6860 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6861
6862 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6863 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6864
686510. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6866
686711. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6868 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6869 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6870 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6871 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6872 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6873
687412. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6875 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6876 timeout.
6877
687813. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6879 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6880
688114. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6882 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6883
688415. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6885 received was valid base64.
6886
688716. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6888 name of the variable that was being set.
6889
689017. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6891
689218. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6893 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6894 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6895 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6896 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6897 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6898
689919. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6900
690120. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6902 nor realm was specified.
6903
690421. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6905 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6906 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6907 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6908
690922. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6910 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6911 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6912
691323. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6914 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6915 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6916
691724. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6918 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6919 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6920 some systems use these upper case variants.
6921
692225. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6923 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6924 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6925 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6926
692726. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6928
692927. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6930 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6931
693228. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6933 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6934 expansion variable.
6935
693629. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6937
693830. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6939 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6940 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6941 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6942
694331. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6944 using it.
6945
694632. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6947 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6948 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6949
695033. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6951 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6952
695334. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6954 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6955 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6956 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6957
695835. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6959 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6960 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6961
696236. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6963
696437. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6965 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6966 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6967 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6968 aborted.
6969
697038. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6971 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6972 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6973
697439. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6975
697640. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6977 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6978
697941. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6980 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6981
698242. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6983 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6984 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6985 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6986 when emails are that large.
6987
6988
6989
6990Exim version 4.22
6991-----------------
6992
6993 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6994 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6995
6996 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6997 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6998 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6999
7000 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7001 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7002 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7003
7004 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7005 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7006 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7007 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7008 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7009
7010 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7011 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7012 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7013 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7014 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7015 ever.
7016
7017 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7018 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7019 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7020 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7021 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7022 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7023 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7024 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7025 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7026 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7027 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7028 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7029 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7030 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7031
7032 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7033 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7034 parameterised it.
7035
7036 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7037 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7038 error should be diagnosed.
7039
7040 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7041 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7042 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7043 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7044 appeared instead of "NULL".
7045
704610. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7047 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7048 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7049 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7050 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7051 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7052 proceeds).
7053
7054 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7055 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7056 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7057
7058
7059Exim version 4.21
7060-----------------
7061
7062 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7063 or receiver verification errors.
7064
7065 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7066 name.
7067
7068 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7069 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7070 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7071 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7072
7073 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7074 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7075 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7076 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7077 shouldn't happen again.
7078
7079 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7080 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7081 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7082
7083 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7084 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7085
7086 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7087
7088 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7089 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7090
7091 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7092 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7093 RFC.
7094
709510. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7096 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7097 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7098
709911. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7100 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7101 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7102 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7103
710412. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7105 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7106 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7107 to define what should happen).
7108
710913. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7110 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7111 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7112
711314. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7114
711515. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7116
711716. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7118 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7119
4c04137d 712017. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7121 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7122 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7123 structure in all cases.
7124
7125 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7126 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7127 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7128 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7129
713018. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7131 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7132 domain name.
7133
713419. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7135 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7136
713720. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7138 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7139
714021. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7141 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7142 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7143
714422. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7145 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7146 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7147
714823. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7149 the book and for uniformity.
7150
715124. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7152
715325. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7154 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7155 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7156 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7157 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7158 non-existent command as the problem.
7159
716026. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7161 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7162 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7163
716427. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7165
716628. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7167 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7168 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7169
717029. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7171 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7172 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7173 timestamps using strftime().
7174
717530. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7176 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7177
717832. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7179 transport-time rewrites.
7180
718133. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7182 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7183 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7184 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7185
718634. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7187 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7188
718935. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7190 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7191 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7192 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7193 comma and a space.
7194
719536. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7196 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7197 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7198 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7199 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7200 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7201 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7202
720337. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7204 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7205 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7206 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7207 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7208
720938. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7210 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7211 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7212 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7213 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7214 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7215 remaining text gets split now.
7216
721739. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7218 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7219 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7220 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7221
722240. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7223 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7224 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7225 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7226 $return_path.
7227
722841. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7229 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7230 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7231 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7232 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7233 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7234 passed through if needed.
7235
723642. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7237 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7238 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7239 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7240 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7241 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7242
724343. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7244 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7245 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7246 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7247 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7248
724944. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7250 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7251 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7252 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7253 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7254
725545. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7256 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7257 noticed.
7258
725946. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7260 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7261 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7262 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7263 mayhem of various kinds.
7264
726547. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7266 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7267 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7268 the right test for positive values.
7269
727048. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7271 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7272 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7273 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7274 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7275 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7276 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7277 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7278 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7279 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7280 envelope.
7281
728249. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7283 module.
7284
728550. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7286 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7287 forbidding it.
7288
728951. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7290 the existing equality matching.
7291
729252. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7293 dealing with inode numbers.
7294
729553. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7296 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7297 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7298
729954. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7300 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7301 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7302 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7303 local_scan().
7304
730555. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7306 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7307 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7308 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7309 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7310 relay addresses has also been removed.
7311
731256. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7313
731457. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7315 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7316 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7317
731858. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7319 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7320 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7321 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7322 processing applies to CR:
7323
7324 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7325 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7326
7327 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7328 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7329 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7330 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7331
733259. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7333 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7334 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7335
733660. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7337 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7338 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7339 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7340 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7341 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7342 arisen.
7343
734461. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7345 program routers.
7346
734762. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7348 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7349 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7350 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7351 adds:
7352
7353 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7354
7355 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7356
7357 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7358
735963. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7360 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7361 not considered personal.
7362
736364. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7364
736565. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7366
736766. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7368
736967. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7370 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7371 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7372 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7373 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7374 header lines, and spool format errors.
7375
737668. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7377 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7378 for more flexibility.
7379
738069. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7381 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7382 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7383
738470. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7385 Sabourenkov.
7386
738771. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7388 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7389 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7390 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7391 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7392 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7393 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7394 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7395 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7396
739772. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7398 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7399 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7400 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7401 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7402 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7403 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7404
740573. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7406 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7407 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7408
740974. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7410 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7411 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7412 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7413 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7414 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7415 instead of killing the process with assert().
7416
741775. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7418 than Unicode encoding.
7419
742076. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7421 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7422 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7423 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7424
742577. Added process_log_path.
7426
742778. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7428 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7429
743079. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7431 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7432
743380. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7434 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7435 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7436
743781. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7438 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7439 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7440 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7441 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7442 were applied:
7443
7444 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7445 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7446 as invalid.
7447
744882. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7449 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7450 they will be used during message reception.
7451
