6Exim version 4.94
7-----------------
d85cdeb5
JH
8
9JH/01 Avoid costly startup code when not strictly needed. This reduces time
10 for some exim process initialisations. It does mean that the logging
11 of TLS configuration problems is only done for the daemon startup.
12
81344b40
JH
13JH/02 Early-pipelining support code is now included unless disabled in Makefile.
14
6ce1ece9
JH
15JH/03 DKIM verification defaults no long accept sha1 hashes, to conform to
16 RFC 8301. They can still be enabled, using the dkim_verify_hashes main
17 option.
18
179ed8c3
JH
19JH/04 Support CHUNKING from an smtp transport using a transport_filter, when
20 DKIM signing is being done. Previously a transport_filter would always
21 disable CHUNKING, falling back to traditional DATA.
22
f0fe22cb
JH
23JH/05 Regard command-line receipients as tainted.
24
01446a56
JH
25JH/06 Bug 340: Remove the daemon pid file on exit, whe due to SIGTERM.
26
dcbfbada
FG
27JH/07 Bug 2489: Fix crash in the "pam" expansion condition. It seems that the
28 PAM library frees one of the arguments given to it, despite the
29 documentation. Therefore a plain malloc must be used.
30
c58803fd
JH
31JH/08 Bug 2491: Use tainted buffers for the transport smtp context. Previously
32 on-stack buffers were used, resulting in a taint trap when DSN information
33 copied from a received message was written into the buffer.
34
e9dfcfb7
JH
35JH/09 Bug 2493: Harden ARC verify against Outlook, whick has been seen to mix
36 the ordering of its ARC headers. This caused a crash.
37
5fae29d5
JH
38JH/10 Bug 2492: Use tainted memory for retry record when needed. Previously when
39 a new record was being constructed with information from the peer, a trap
40 was taken.
41
39fdec3c
JH
42JH/11 Bug 2494: Unset the default for dmarc_tld_file. Previously a naiive
43 installation would get error messages from DMARC verify, when it hit the
44 nonexistent file indicated by the default. Distros wanting DMARC enabled
45 should both provide the file and set the option.
46 Also enforce no DMARC verification for command-line sourced messages.
47
de41aff0
JH
48JH/12 Fix an uninitialised flag in early-pipelining. Previously connections
49 could, depending on the platform, hang at the STARTTLS response.
50
1415d1a6
JH
51JH/13 Bug 2498: Reset a counter used for ARC verify before handling another
52 message on a connection. Previously if one message had ARC headers and
53 the following one did not, a crash could result when adding an
54 Authentication-Results: header.
55
2791749f
JH
56JH/14 On GNU/Hurd, retry EINTR returns from I/O on pipes, which seem to occur
57 frequently.
58
d85cdeb5 59
40ed89b3
JH
60Exim version 4.93
61-----------------
62
8a40db1c
JH
63JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
64 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 65
fc243e94 66JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
67 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
68 its own TCP segment.
69
897024f1
JH
70JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
71 each verb.
72
f1be21cf
JH
73JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
74
fe12ec88
JH
75JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
76
05bf16f6
JH
77JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
78 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
79
fc243e94
JH
80JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
81 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
82 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
83 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
84 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
85 suitably configured).
86
c05bdbd6 87JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
88 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
89
14bc9cf0
JH
90JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
91 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
92 crash could result.
93
254f38d1
JH
94JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
95 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
96
c09dbcfb
JH
97JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
98 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
99 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
100 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
101 to this system.
254f38d1 102
f9fc9427
JH
103JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
104 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
105 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
106
e6024a5e
JH
107JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
108 output.
109
1fbf41cd
JH
110JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
111 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
112
3c55eef2 113JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 114 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
115 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
116 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
117 input).
118
cb80814d
HSHR
119HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
120 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
121 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
122 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
123 (It was "hdr.$pid".)
124
7d8d08c4 125HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
82a996b1
HSHR
126 shared (NFS) environment.
127
7d8d08c4 128HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
82a996b1
HSHR
129 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
130 affected.
131
bd83c6f9
JH
132JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
133 on some platforms for bit 31.
134
d9acfc1c
JH
135JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
136 to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
137 previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
138 like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
139 and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
140 the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
141 This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
142 and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
143
b10c87b3
JH
144JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
145
7a501c87
JH
146JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
147 verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
148
e5903596
JH
149JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue. Previously, even with the option
150 queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
151 facility.
152
12d95aa6
JH
153JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
154 directory-of-certs mode. Previously they were advertised despite the
155 documentation.
156
96eb7d2a
JH
157JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
158 A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
159 for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
160 not do so.
161
59c0959a 162JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
01603eec
JH
163 default. If built with the facility, DANE will be used. The facility
164 SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
165
166JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
de517fd3
JH
167 is replaced with DISABLE_TLS. Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
168 must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
169 the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
170 choice. Non-TLS builds are still supported.
59c0959a 171
48519cef
JH
172JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
173 reject under TFO.
96eb7d2a 174
efad2f41 175JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
4e48d56c 176 default. If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
efad2f41
JH
177 be requested on all coneections.
178
4e48d56c
JH
179JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
180 controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.
181
6ee11061 182PP/01 Unbreak heimdal_gssapi, broken in 4.92.
0a5441fc 183
87abcb24
JH
184JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
185 success-DSN messages. Previously the From: header was always the default
186 one for these; the option was ignored.
6ee11061 187
0a5441fc
JH
188JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
189 Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
190 single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
191 long time. Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
192
436bda2a
JH
193JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field. Previously it was the post-routing
194 delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
195 forwarding. Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
196 standards.
197
df98a6ff
JH
198JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
199 requested. Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
200 error ignored was made.
201
21aa0597
JH
202JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)
203
f3ebb786
JH
204JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
205 channel, and values derived from them. Refuse to expand any tainted
206 values, to catch one form of exploit.
207
9fa4d5b4
RJ
208JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option. Previously the expansion result
209 was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test. Found and
210 fixed by Ruben Jenster.
211
bd231acd
JH
212JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown. When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
213 an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
214 causing a segfault.
215
7b564712
JH
216JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
217 them in our smtp response.
218
9c6881f8 219JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
dbbf21a7
JH
220 any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything). Previously it
221 was only for check_local user. The change removes one item of manual
222 configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
223 handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
224
9c6881f8
JH
225JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
226 link count into consideration.
227
7d8d08c4
JH
228HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
229 caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
230
231JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
232 accordance with RFC 2308. Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
233 receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
234 surprise.
235
c3aefacc
HSHR
236HS/05 Handle trailing backslash gracefully. (CVE-2019-15846)
237
1a2e76e1
JH
238JH/39 Promote DMARC support to mainline.
239
d6c829b9
JH
240JH/40 Bug 2452: Add a References: header to DSNs.
241
49132a3b
JH
242JH/41 With GnuTLS 3.6.0 (and later) do not attempt to manage Diffie-Hellman
243 parameters. The relevant library call is documented as "Deprecated: This
244 function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. Since
245 3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919."
246
ab0e957b 247HS/06 Change the default of dnssec_request_domains to "*"
40ed89b3 248
c5040dfd
JH
249JH/42 Bug 2545: Fix CHUNKING for all RCPT commands rejected. Previously we
250 carried on and emitted a BDAT command, even when PIPELINING was not
251 active.
252
13e70f55
JH
253JH/43 Bug 2465: Fix taint-handling in dsearch lookup. Previously a nontainted
254 buffer was used for the filename, resulting in a trap when tainted
255 arguments (eg. $domain) were used.
256
2043336d
JH
257JH/44 With OpenSSL 1.1.1 (onwards) disable renegotiation for TLS1.2 and below;
258 recommended to avoid a possible server-load attack. The feature can be
259 re-enabled via the openssl_options main cofiguration option.
260
b2d54f83
JH
261JH/45 local_scan API: documented the current smtp_printf() call. This changed
262 for version 4.90 - adding a "more data" boolean to the arguments.
b3317cfa
JH
263 Bumped the ABI version number also, this having been missed previously;
264 release versions 4.90 to 4.92.3 inclusive were effectively broken in
265 respect of usage of smtp_printf() by either local_scan code or libraries
266 accessed via the ${dlfunc } expansion item. Both will need coding
267 adjustment for any calls to smtp_printf() to match the new function
268 signature; a FALSE value for the new argument is always safe.
b2d54f83 269
1bf08084
JH
270JH/46 FreeBSD: fix use of the sendfile() syscall. The shim was not updating
271 the file-offset (which the Linux syscall does, and exim expects); this
272 resulted in an indefinite loop.
273
7af11cd0
JH
274JH/47 ARC: fix crash in signing, triggered when a configuration error failed
275 to do ARC verification. The Authentication-Results: header line added
276 by the configuration then had no ARC item.
277
c5040dfd 278
d99f54e4
JH
279Exim version 4.92
280-----------------
281
9723f966
JH
282JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
283 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
284
285JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
286 non-signal-safe functions being used.
287
288JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
289 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
290 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 291
ea7b1f16
JH
292JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
293 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
294 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
295
cfbb0d24
JH
296JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
297 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
298 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
299 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
300 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
301 messed with.
302
85defcf0
PP
303PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
304 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
305
1bd642c2
JH
306JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
307 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
308 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
309 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
310 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
311 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
312 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
313
2ddb4094
JH
314JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
315 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
316
1613fd68
JH
317JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
318 legitimate.
319
e6057245
JH
320JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
321 Previously this would segfault.
322
7b9822bf
JH
323JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
324 segfault.
325
d8d9f930
JH
326JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
327 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
328 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
329 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
330 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
331 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
332
61e3f250
JH
333JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
334
7a8b9519
JH
335JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
336 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
337 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
338 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
339
49e56fb3
JH
340JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
341
74f1a423
JH
342JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
343 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
344 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
345 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
346
5054c4fd 347JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
348
349JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
5054c4fd 350
946515bf
JH
351JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
352 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
353 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
354
8c34c611
JH
355JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
356 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
357 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
358
1bca4f5f
PP
359PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
360
8a6b4e02
JH
361JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
362 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
363 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
364 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
365
0a682b6c
PP
366PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
367 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
368 promised '?' replacement.
369
c2c451ac
PP
370PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
371
8768d548
JH
372JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
373 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
374 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
375 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
376 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
377
5455f548
JH
378JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
379 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
380 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
381
25beaee4
MK
382JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
383 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
384 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
385
7ea1237c 386JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 387 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
388 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
389
ebda598a

500 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
501 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
502 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
503 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
504 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
505 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
506 Main pool for expansions.

619 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
620 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
621 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
622 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the

1002 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
1003 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
1004 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
1005 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
1006 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
1007 if one fails this test.
1008 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;

1571
1572 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
1573 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
1574 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
1575 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
1576 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging

1823TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1824
1825 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1826 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1827 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1828 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1829 the retry rules.
1830
1831 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1832 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1833 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1834
1835 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1836 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1837 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1838 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1839
1ddeb334
TF
1840 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1841 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1842 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1843 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1844 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1845 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1846 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1847
1848 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1849 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

2171TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
2172 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
2173 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
2174
2175 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
2176 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
2177 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
2178 not safe for signals.
2179
2180 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2181 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2182 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2183 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2184 exiwhat.
2185
c99ce5c9
TF
2186TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2187
2188 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2189 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2190 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2191 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 2192 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
2193
2194 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2195 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2196 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2197 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2198 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2199 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2200
2201 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2202 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2203 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2204 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2205
2206 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2207 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2208 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2209 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2210
2211 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2212 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2213 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2214 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2215 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2216 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2217 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2218 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2219 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2220
2221 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2222 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2223 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2224 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2225
2226 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2227 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2228 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2229 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2230 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2231 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2232 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2233 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2234 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2235 details in the main documentation.

2806
2807PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2808
6a3bceb1
PH
2809PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2810 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2811 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2812 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2813 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2814 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2815 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2816 for iplsearch lookups.
2817
2818 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2819 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2820 previously such lookups could never work.
2821
4c04137d 2822 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2823 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2824 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2829MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2830 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2831 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2832 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2833 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2834 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2839MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2840 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2841 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2842 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2843 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2844 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2921 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2922 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,

3027PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
3028 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

3030 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
3031 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
3032 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
3033 pipelining has not been advertised.

3048 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
3049 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
3050 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
3051 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

3082 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it

3089 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the

3107 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
3108 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
3109 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
3110 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
3111 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
3112 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
3113 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 3114 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

3124
3125PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
3126 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
3127
3128 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
3129 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
3130
3131 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
3132 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
3133 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
3134
3135 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
3136 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
3137 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
3138 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
3139 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

3155 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
3156 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
3157 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
3158 rather than extend the field.

2b1c6e3a
PH
3183PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3184 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3185 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3186 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3187 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3188 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3189 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3190 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3191 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3192 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3193 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3229 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3230 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3231 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3232 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3233 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
3234 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05
PH
3238 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3239 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3240 function.
3241 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3242 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3243 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3244 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3245 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3246 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3247 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3248 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3249 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3255 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3256 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3257 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3258 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3259 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3260 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3261 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

3266
322050c2
PH
3267PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3268 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3269 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3270 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3271 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3272 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3273 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3274 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3275 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3276 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3277 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3278 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3279 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

3281PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3282 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3283 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3284 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3285 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3286 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3287 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

3289PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3290 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3291 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3292 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3293 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3294 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3295 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3296 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3297 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3298 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
3300PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3301 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3302 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3303 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3304 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3306PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3307 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3308 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3309 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3310 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3311 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3312 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3317 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3318 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3319 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3320 been verified.

PH
3351
3352PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3353 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3354 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3355 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3356 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3357 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3358 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3359 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3360 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3361
3362 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3363 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3364 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3365 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3366 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3367 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3368 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3369 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3370 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3371
3372 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3373 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3374 hammering the server.

48c7f9e2
PH
3395PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue

3397 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3398 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3399 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting

3400 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3401 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now

3672PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
3673 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
3674 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3675 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3676 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3677 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3678 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3679 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3680 451 error is used.

3702PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash

3705 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox

3716PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3717 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3718 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3719 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3720 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3721 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3722 addresses as local.

3765 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3766 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that

3799PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3800 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3801 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3802 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3803 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3804 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3805 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3806 values from the SRV records were lost.

3808PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

3815
727071f8
PH
3816PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3817 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3818 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3819 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3820 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3821 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3822 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3823 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3824 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3921PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3922 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3923 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3924 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3925 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3926 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3927 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3928 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3929 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3930 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3941 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3942 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3943 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the

3966 used in LMTP mode:
3967
3968 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3969 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3970 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3971 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3972
3973 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3974 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3975 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3976
3977PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3978 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3979 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3980 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3981 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

4051PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
4052 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
4053 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
4054 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
4055 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
4056 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
4057 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
4058 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
4059 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
4060 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
4061 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

4090 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
4091 silly things.

4118 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
4119 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
4120 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
4121 identical. For example:
4122
4123 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
4124
4125 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data

4218 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
4219 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4220 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4221 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4222 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4223 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4224 the text comparison.

4232Exim version 4.54
4233-----------------
4234
4235PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was
4236 set to 36 (for Darwin and Cygwin), but the ${base62d: operator did not.

4239PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on
4240 the CVS lines, and there was a missing #if HAVE_IPV6 in host.c.

4242PH/03 Typo: missing ".o" in src/pcre/Makefile.

PH
4244PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-"
4245 header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929.
4246 Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as
4247 non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated
4248 anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.)

PH
4250TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax
4251 errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option
4252 now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters
4253 but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain
4254 or /domain=).

PH
4271PH/03 When creating an mbox file for a virus/spam scan, use fseek() instead of
4272 fread() to skip over the body file's header line, because in Cygwin the
4273 header line is locked and is inaccessible.

1ab52c69
PH
4275PH/04 Added $message_exim_id, ultimately to replace $message_id (they will both
4276 co-exist for some time) to make it clear that it is the Exim ID that is
4277 referenced, not the Message-ID: header line.

PH
4279PH/05 Replaced all Tom's calls to snprintf() with calls to the internal

af46795e
PH
4303PH/12 There was a missing call to search_tidyup() before the fork() in rda.c to
4304 run a filter in a subprocess. This could lead to confusion in subsequent
4305 lookups in the parent process. There should also be a search_tidyup() at
4306 the end of the subprocess.

d7b47fd0
PH
4308PH/13 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true
4309 only if the host matched helo_try_verify_hosts, which caused the
4310 verification to occur when the EHLO/HELO command was issued. The ACL just
4311 tested the remembered result. Now, if a previous verification attempt has
4312 not happened, "verify = helo" does it there and then.

4331PH/20 If a delivery was routed to a non-standard port by means of an SRV

4341PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius
4342 authentication with radiusclient 0.4.9:
4343
4344 - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
4345 - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.
4346
4347 The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17
4348 were not taken care of correctly. The code is still untested by me (my
4349 Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of radiusclient), but it was
4350 contributed by a Radius user.

4365PH/26 Exim was recognizing IPv6 addresses of the form [IPv6:....] in EHLO

4403 From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP
4404 MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender
4405 name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From:

4407 messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way,
4408 which is clearly wrong.

4523 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
4c04137d 4524 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were
415c8f3b

4529 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single

4531 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
4532 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4533 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4669PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
4670 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a

4672 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
4673 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was

4741
4742PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4743 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4744 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4745 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4746 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4747 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4748 file.
4749
4750PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4751 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4752 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4753 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4754 these two options.

4756PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4757 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4758 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4759 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4760 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4761 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4762 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4763 address.

4767
4768PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4769 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4770 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4771 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4772 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4773 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4774
4775PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

4828 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4829 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4830 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4831 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check

4837 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4838 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1

PH
4851PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4852 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4853 understands it better than I do:
4854
4855 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4856 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4857
4858 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4859 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4860 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4861 => three warnings about OTP not working
4862 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4863
4864 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4865 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4866 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4867 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4868 for each call.)
4869 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4870 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4871
4872 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4873 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still

PH
4938PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4939 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4940 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4941 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4942 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4943 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4944 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4945
4946 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4947 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4948 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4949 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4950 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4951
4952 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4953 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4954 routed further.

4999 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
5000 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
5001 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called

5013A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
5014----------------------------------------
5015
5016Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
5017changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
5018needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
5019in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
5020that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
5021release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
5022from 4.43.
5023
5024I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
50254.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
5026those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
5027historical information.

495ae4b0
PH
5031-----------------
5032
5fe762f6
PH
5033 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5034
139059f6 5035 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the
5fe762f6 5036 computation of the current number of files was incorrect.
495ae4b0 5037
7086e875
PH
5038 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5039 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5040 place.
5041
35af9f61
PH
5042 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5043 filter fails to execute.
5044
b668c215
PH
5045 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5046 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5047 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5048 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5049 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5050
a494b1e1
PH
5051 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
5052
5053 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5054 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5055 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5056 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
35edf2ff 5057
c5fcb476
PH
5058 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5059 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5060 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5061 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5062 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5063
69358f02
PH
5064 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission".
5065
5be20824
PH
506610. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5067
eb2c0248
PH
506811. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5069 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5070 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5071 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5072
2a3eea10
PH
507312. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5074 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5075 sender verification.
5076
507713. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
5078 $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.
5079
23c7ff99
PH
508014. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.
5081
4deaf07d
PH
508215. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different
5083 connection timeout.
5084
926e1192
PH
508516. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5086 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5087
650edc6f
PH
508817. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5089 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5090
2c7db3f5
PH
509118. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
5092 information about exactly what failed.
5093
3d235903
PH
509419. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.
5095
7c7ad977
PH
509620. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
5097 handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
5098 CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).
5099
981756db
PH
510021. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
5101 It is now set to "smtps".
5102
d4eb88df
PH
510322. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5104 ignore_target_hosts.
5105
510623. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5107 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5108 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5109 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5110 "[x.x.x.x]".
5111
7d468ab8
PH
511224. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5113 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5114 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5115
511625. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5117 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5118 wake it up if nothing else does.
5119
62c0818f
PH
512026. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5121 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5122 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5123 end up negative.
5124
26034054
PH
512527. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5126 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5127
af66f652
PH
512828. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
5129
90af77f4
PH
513029. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
5131 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
5132 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
5133 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
5134 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
5135 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
5136 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
5137 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
5138
d8ef3577
PH
513930. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
5140 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
5141 than one IP address.
5142
5cb8cbc6
PH
514331. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
5144 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
5145 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
5146 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
5147
14702f5b
PH
514832. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5149 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5150 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5151 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5152 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5153 1024 to 2048 bytes.
5154
063b1e99
PH
515533. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
5156 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
5157 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
5158 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
5159
652e1b65
PH
516034. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5161 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5162 respected.
5163
6f0c9a4f
PH
516435. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5165 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5166 $sender_host_address.
5167
33397d19
PH
516836. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
5169 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
5170 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
5171 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
5172 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
5173 very small.
5174
7bb56e1f
PH
517537. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
5176
5177 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
5178 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
5179
ea3bc19b
PH
5180 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
5181 just the host names, not the priorities.
5182
5183 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
5184 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
5185 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 5186
ea3bc19b 5187 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 5188 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 5189
0bcb2a0e
PH
519038. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
5191 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
5192 domain.
5193
2ac0e484
PH
519439. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
5195
4e1fde53
PH
519640. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
5197 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
5198
de365ded
PH
519941. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5200 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5201 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
5202
f05da2e8
PH
520342. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
5204
d6453af2
PH
520543. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
5206
f7b63901
PH
520744. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
5208
520945. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5210 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5211 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5212 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5213 because the tests only now provoked it.
5214
a444213a
PH
521546. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5216 (this can affect the format of dates).
5217
0ec020ea
PH
521847. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5219 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5220 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5221 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
5222
b1206957
PH
522348. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
5224
522549. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5226 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5227 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5228 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
5229
26dd5a95
PH
523050. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5231 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5232 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
5233
343b2385
PH
523451. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5235 autoreply.
5236
1c5466b9
PH
523752. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5238 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5239 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5240 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5241 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5242 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5243 is going on).
5244
55ee9ee3
PH
524553. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5246 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5247 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5248 the line.
5249
d38f8232
PH
525054. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5251 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5252 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5253
5254 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5255 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5256 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5257 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5258 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5259 so I produce this patch..."
5260
3295e65b
PH
5261 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5262 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5263 is not defined.
5264
7102e136
PH
526555. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5266 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
5267 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5268 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
ea3a6f44 5269 CAN-2005-0021
7102e136 5270
3ca0ba97
PH
527156. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
5272
c2bcbe20
PH
527357. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
5274 long debug lines gets shown.
5275
18ce445d
PH
527658. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
5277 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
5278
1f5b4c3d
PH
527959. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5280
5281 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5282 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5283 of $primary_hostname.
5284
b975ba52
PH
528560. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5286 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5287 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5288 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5289 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5290 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5291 by change 4.50/55 above.
5292
5293 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5294 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5295 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5296 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5297 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5298 running as the user.
ea3a6f44 5299 CAN-2005-0021
85b87bc2
PH
5300
530161. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5302 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5303 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 5304 CAN-2005-0022
b975ba52 5305
17ffcae7
PH
530662. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
5307 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
5308
d95f9fdb
PH
530963. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5310 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5311 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5312 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5313 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5314
86b8287f
PH
531564. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5316 This has been fixed.
5317
60dc5e56
PH
531865. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5319 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5320 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5321 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5322 the caching.)
5323
533244af
PH
532466. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5325
a5a28604
PH
532667. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5327 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5328 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5329 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5330
7e634d24
PH
533168. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5332 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5333
3e11c26b
PH
533469. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5335 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5336 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5337
6729cf78
PH
533870. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5339 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5340 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5341 message there.
5342
00f00ca5
PH
534371. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5344 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5345 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5346
c9bdd01c
PH
534772. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5348 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5349 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5350 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5351
d43194df
PH
535273. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5353 during host lookups.
5354
fe5b5d0b
PH
535574. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5356 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5357
5358 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5359
76a2d7ba
PH
536075. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5361 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5362 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5363 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5364 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5365 background.
5366
536776. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5368 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5369
04f7d5b9
PH
537077. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5371 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5372 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5373
bc60667e
PH
537478. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5375
bb6e88ff
PH
537679. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5377 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5378 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5379 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5380 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5381 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5382 process earlier.
5383
1e70f85b
PH
538480. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5385 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5386 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5387 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5388 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5389
539081. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5391 tables).
5392
4e01f9d6
PH
539382. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith.

PH
539583. Patch from Sieve maintainer to fix unterminated string problem in
5396 "vacation" handling.
5397
6e2b4ccc
PH
539884. Some minor changes to the Linux configuration files to help with other
5399 OS variants using glibc.
5400
8e669ac1
PH

5404----------------------------------------------------
5405See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5406----------------------------------------------------
5407
5408
5409Exim version 4.44
5410-----------------
5411
5412 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5413 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5414 transport
5415
5416 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5417 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5418 place.
5419
5420 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5421 filter fails to execute.
5422
5423 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5424 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5425 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5426 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5427 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5428
5429 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5430 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5431 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5432 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5433
5434 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5435 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5436 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5437 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5438 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5439
5440 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5441
5442 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5443 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5444 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5445 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5446
5447 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5448 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5449 sender verification.
5450
545110. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5452 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5453
545411. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5455 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5456
545712. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5458 ignore_target_hosts.
5459
546013. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5461 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5462 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5463 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5464 "[x.x.x.x]".
5465
546614. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5467 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5468 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5469
547015. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5471 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5472 wake it up if nothing else does.
5473
547416. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5475 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5476 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5477 end up negative.
5478
547917. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5480 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5481
ea3a6f44 548218. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5483
548419. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5485 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5486 empty pattern.
5487
548820. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5489 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5490 one IP address.
5491
ea3a6f44
NM
549221. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5493 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5494 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5495 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5496 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5497 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5498
ea3a6f44
NM
549922. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5500 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5501 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5502
550323. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5504 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5505 $sender_host_address.
5506
550724. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5508
ea3a6f44
NM
550925. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5510 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5511 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5512
551326. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5514 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5515
ea3a6f44
NM
551627. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5517 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5518
ea3a6f44
NM
551928. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5520 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5521 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5522 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
5523
552429. eximstats updated to version 1.35
5525 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
5526 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
5527
ea3a6f44
NM
552830. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5529 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5530 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5531 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 5532
ea3a6f44
NM
553331. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5534 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5535 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 5536
ea3a6f44
NM
553731. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5538 autoreply.
bbe902f0 5539
ea3a6f44
NM
554032. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5541 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5542 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5543 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5544 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5545 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5546 is going on).
bbe902f0 5547
ea3a6f44
NM
554833. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5549 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5550 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5551 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0
PH
5552 CAN-2005-0021
5553
ea3a6f44
NM
555434. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5555 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5556 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5557 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5558 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5559 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5560 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5561
5562 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5563 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5564 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5565 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5566 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5567 running as the user.
bbe902f0
PH
5568 CAN-2005-0021
5569
ea3a6f44
NM
557035. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5571 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5572 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
bbe902f0
PH
5573 CAN-2005-0022
5574
ea3a6f44
NM
557536. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5576 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5577 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5578 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5579 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 5580
ea3a6f44
NM
558137. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5582 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5583 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5584 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5585 the caching.)
bbe902f0 5586
ea3a6f44
NM
558738. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5588 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5589 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5590 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5591 because the tests only now provoked it.

5594Exim version 4.43
5595-----------------
5596
5597 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5598 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5599 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5600 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5601 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5602 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5603 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5604
5605 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5606 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5607 the delivery.
5608
5609 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5610
5611 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5612
5613 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5614 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5615 to local_scan().
5616
5617 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5618 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5619 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5620 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5621 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5622
5623 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5624 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5625
5626 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5627
5628 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5629
563010. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5631 header_sender only.
5632
563311. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5634 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5635
563612. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5637 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5638 affecting debugging statements).
5639
564013. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5641
564214. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5643 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5644 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5645 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5646 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5647 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5648 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5649 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5650 after the received time, and all would be well.
5651
565215. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5653 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5654 condition in an expansion string.
5655
565616. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5657
565817. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5659 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5660 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5661 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5662 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5663 job under whatever limits there are.
5664
566518. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5666
566719. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5668 space).
5669
567020. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5671 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5672 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5673 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5674 return path is set.
5675
567621. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5677 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5678 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5679 binary data in such strings.
5680
568122. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5682
568323. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5684 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5685 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5686 failure, which is pointless.
5687
568824. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5689
569025. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5691
569226. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5693 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5694 Sender: header lines.
5695
569627. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5697 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5698 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5699
570028. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5701 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5702 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5703 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5704 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5705 happens.
5706
570729. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5708 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5709 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5710 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5711 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5712
571330. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5714 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5715 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5716 1024.
5717
571831. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5719 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5720
572132. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5722 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5723
572433. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5725
572632. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5727
572833. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5729
573034. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5731 syntax error.
5732
573335. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5734
573536. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5736
573737. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5738 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5739 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5740 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5741
574238. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5743 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5744
5745
5746Exim version 4.42
5747-----------------
5748
5749 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5750 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5751 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5752 it was not quoted.
5753 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5754 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5755 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5756 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5757 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5758 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5759
5760 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5761 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5762 verification failure".
5763
5764 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5765 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5766 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5767 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5768
5769 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5770 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5771 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5772 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5773 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5774 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5775 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5776 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5777 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5778 treated as a timeout.
5779
5780 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5781 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5782 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5783 not set for Exim filters).
5784
5785 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5786 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5787 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5788
5789 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5790
5791 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5792 try to make them clearer.
5793
5794 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5795 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5796
5797 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5798
5799 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5800
580110. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5802 only the Cygwin environment.
5803
580411. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5805 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5806 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5807 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5808 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5809
581012. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5811 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5812 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5813 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5814 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5815 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5816 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5817
581813. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5819 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5820
582114. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5822
5823 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5824 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5825 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5826
5827 To: susanne@some.where
5828
5829 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5830 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5831 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5832 of addresses in From: header lines).
5833
5834 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5835 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5836 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5837
5838 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5839 treated as non-personal.
5840
5841 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5842 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5843
584415. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5845
584616. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5847
584817. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5849 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5850 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5851
585218. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5853 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5854
585519. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5856 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5857 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5858 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5859 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5860 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5861
586220. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5863 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5864 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5865 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5866 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5867 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5868 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5869 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5870
5871 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5872
587321. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5874 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5875
587622. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5877 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5878 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5879
588023. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5881 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5882
588324. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5884 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5885 rather than long int.
5886
588725. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5888
588926. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5890
5891
5892Exim version 4.41
5893-----------------
5894
5895 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5896 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5897 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5898 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5899 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5900 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5901
5902
5903Exim version 4.40
5904-----------------
5905
5906 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5907 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5908
5909 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5910 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5911 socklen_t is defined.
5912
5913 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5914 always exist.
5915
5916 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5917 configured.
5918
5919 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5920 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5921 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5922 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5923 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5924
5925 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5926 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5927 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5928 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5929
5930 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5931 of flapping under certain conditions.
5932
5933 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5934 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5935 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5936
5937 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5938
593910. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5940
594111. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5942 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5943 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5944 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5945
594612. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5947 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5948 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5949 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5950 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5951 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5952 preserved with the message after it was received.
5953
595413. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5955 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5956 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5957 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5958 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5959 test suite worked just fine.
5960
596114. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5962 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5963 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5964
596515. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5966 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5967 string.
5968
596916. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5970 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5971 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5972 does not fully solve it.
5973
597417. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5975 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5976 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5977 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5978 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5979
598018. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5981 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5982 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5983
598419. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5985 string, for example:
5986
5987 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5988
5989 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5990 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5991 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5992 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5993 the routers could not see them.
5994
599520. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5996 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5997
599821. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5999 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
6000 output).
6001
600222. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
6003 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
6004 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
6005 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
6006 that needed quoting.
6007
600823. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
6009 was not being matched caselessly.
6010
601124. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
6012 backslashes.
6013
601425. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
6015 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
6016 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
6017 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
6018 when use_sender is false.
6019
602026. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
6021
602227. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
6023
602428. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
6025
602629. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
6027 the configuration file.
6028
602930. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
6030 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
6031
603231. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
6033
603432. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
6035 bytes in the message body.
6036
603733. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
6038 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
6039 delivery.
6040
604134. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
6042
604335. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
6044
604536. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
6046 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
6047 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
6048 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
6049 another IP address.
6050
6051
6052Exim version 4.34
6053-----------------
6054
6055 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
6056 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
6057
6058 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
6059 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
6060 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
6061 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
6062 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
6063
6064 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
6065 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
6066
6067 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
6068 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
6069 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
6070
6071 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
6072 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
6073 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
6074
6075 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
6076 for routers.
6077
6078 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
6079 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
6080 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
6081 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
6082 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
6083 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
6084 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
6085
6086
6087Exim version 4.33
6088-----------------
6089
6090 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
6091 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
6092 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
6093 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
6094 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
6095 default (and expected) setting.
6096
6097 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
6098 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
6099 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
6100 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
6101
6102 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
6103 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
6104
6105 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
6106 in domain lists.
6107
6108 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
6109 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
6110 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
6111 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
6112 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
6113 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
6114
6115 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
6116 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
6117 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
6118
6119 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
6120 part (NOT match_host).
6121
6122 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
6123
6124 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
6125 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
6126 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
6127 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
6128 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
6129 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
6130 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
6131 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
6132 the same named file.
6133
613410. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
6135 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
6136 when Exim is built.
6137
613811. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
6139 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
6140 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
6141 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
6142 a host name.
6143
614412. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
6145 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
6146 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
6147
614813. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
6149
615014. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
6151
615215. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
6153
615416. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
6155 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
6156
615717. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
6158 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
6159 before starting the TLS session.
6160
616118. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
6162
616319. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
6164 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
6165
616620. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
6167 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
6168 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
6169 colon in the middle).
6170
6171
6172Exim version 4.32
6173-----------------
6174
6175 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
6176 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
6177 multiple configurations are in use.
6178
6179 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
6180 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6181 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6182 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6183 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6184 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6185
6186 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6187 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6188
6189 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6190 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6191 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6192
6193 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6194 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6195 occurs.
6196
6197 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6198 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6199
6200 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6201
6202 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6203 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6204
6205 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6206
6207 -prval:sval
6208
6209 is equivalent to
6210
6211 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6212
6213 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6214 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6215 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6216 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6217 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6218
621910. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6220 Exim's behaviour:
6221
6222 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6223 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6224 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6225 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6226 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6227 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6228
6229 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6230 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6231 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6232 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6233 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6234 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6235 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6236 string.
6237
6238 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6239 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6240 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6241 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6242 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6243
624411. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6245
624612. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6247 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6248 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6249
625013. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6251
625214. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6253 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6254 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6255 information.
6256
625715. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6258 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6259
626016. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6261 Three changes have been made:
6262
6263 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6264 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6265 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6266 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6267 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6268
6269 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6270 been restored.
6271
6272 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6273 the modified behaviour.
6274
6275
6276Exim version 4.31
6277-----------------
6278
6279 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6280 Larry Rosenman.
6281
6282 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6283 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6284
6285 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6286 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6287 try to track down a specific problem.
6288
6289 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6290 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6291 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6292
6293 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6294 warning.
6295
6296 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6297 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6298 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6299 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6300 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6301 some earlier ones do not.
6302
6303 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6304
6305 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6306 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6307 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6308 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6309 address literals are enabled, of course).
6310
6311 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6312
631310. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6314 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6315 by a command such as
6316
6317 exim -f "" ...
6318
6319 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6320
632111. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6322
632312. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6324 remained set. It is now erased.
6325
632613. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6327 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6328
632914. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6330 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6331 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6332 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6333 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6334 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6335 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6336 appropriate error code.
6337
633815. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6339 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6340 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6341 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6342 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6343 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6344
634516. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6346 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6347 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6348
634917. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6350 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6351 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6352 terminate the header.
6353
635418. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6355 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6356 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6357
635819. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6359 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6360 (4.30/29). In particular:
6361
6362 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6363 imposed.
6364
6365 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6366 to write a maildirsize file.
6367
6368 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6369 the transport, the new value overrides.
6370
6371 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6372 count.
6373
637420. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6375 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6376 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6377 space or a tab.
6378
637921. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6380 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6381 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6382 the fallback hosts.
6383
638422. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6385 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6386 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6387
638823. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6389 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6390 using a union.
6391
639224. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6393 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6394 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6395
639625. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6397
639826. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6399
640027. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6401
640228. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6403 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6404 become corrupted.
6405
640629. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6407 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6408 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6409 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6410 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6411 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6412 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6413 too great.
6414
641530. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6416 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6417 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6418 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6419 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6420 incorrectly.
6421
642231. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6423 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6424 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6425 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6426 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6427 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6428 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6429 cached value only when the same options are set.
6430
643132. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6432
643333. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6434 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6435 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6436 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6437 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6438
643934: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6440 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6441 it is clearly obsolete.
6442
644335. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6444 transport.
6445
644636. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6447 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6448 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6449 times.
6450
645137. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6452 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6453 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6454 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6455 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6456
645738. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6458 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6459 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6460 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6461
646239. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6463
6464 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6465
6466 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6467 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6468 2^31.
6469
647040. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6471 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6472 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6473 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6474 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6475 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6476 $localpart_data.
6477
647841. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6479 with the -f command-line option.
6480
648142. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6482 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6483 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6484 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6485 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6486 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6487
648843. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6489 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6490 line.
6491
649244. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6493 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6494 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6495 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6496 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6497 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6498 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6499 buffer is too small.
6500
650145. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6502 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6503
650446. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6505 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6506 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6507 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6508 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6509 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6510 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6511 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6512 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6513
651447. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6515 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6516 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6517
651848. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6519 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6520 ACL").
6521
652249. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6523 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6524 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6525 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6526 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6527
652850. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6529 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6530 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6531 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6532 is set.
6533
653451. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6535
653652. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6537
653853. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6539 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6540
654154. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6542 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6543 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6544
654555. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6546 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6547 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6548 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6549 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6550
655156. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6552 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6553 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6554 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6555 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6556 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6557 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6558
655957. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6560 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6561 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6562 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6563 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6564 the test of how many are available.
6565
656658. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6567 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6568 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6569 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6570 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6571 new message is started.
6572
657359. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6574 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6575
657660. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6577 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6578
657961. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6580 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6581 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6582 is no long logged.
6583
658462. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6585 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6586 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6587 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6588 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6589 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6590 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6591
659263. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6593 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6594 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6595 interpreted as octal.
6596
659764. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6598 setting.
6599
660065. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6601 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6602 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6603 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6604 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6605 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6606
660766. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6608 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6609 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6610 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6611
6612 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6613 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6614 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6615 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6616
6617 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6618 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6619 is a bug fix.
6620
6621 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6622 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6623
662467. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6625
662668. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6627 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6628 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6629 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6630
663169. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6632 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6633 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6634 supplied", which is not helpful.
6635
663670. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6637 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6638 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6639
664071. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6641 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6642 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6643 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6644 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6645 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6646 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6647 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6648
664972. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6650 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6651 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6652 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6653 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6654
665573. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6656 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6657 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6658 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6659 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6660 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6661
666274. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6663 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6664 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6665
666675. Added write_rejectlog option.
6667
666876. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6669 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6670 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6671 variables.
6672
667377. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6674
667578. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6676 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6677 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6678 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6679 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6680 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6681 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6682 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6683
668479. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6685 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6686 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6687 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6688 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6689
669080. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6691 Haardt.
6692
669381. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6694 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6695 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6696 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6697 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6698 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6699 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6700 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6701 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6702
6703
6704Exim version 4.30
6705-----------------
6706
6707 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6708 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6709 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6710
6711 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6712 fixed.
6713
6714 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6715 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6716 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6717
6718 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6719 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6720 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6721 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6722 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6723 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.

6725 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6726 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6727 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6728 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6729 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6730 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6731 the Exim test suite.
6732
6733 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6734 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6735 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6736 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6737
6738 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6739 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6740 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6741 specify it in this variable.
6742
6743 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6744 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6745 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6746 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6747
6748 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6749 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6750 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6751 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6752
6753 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6754 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6755 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6756 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6757 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6758
6759 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6760
676110. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6762 they are logged.
6763
676411. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6765 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6766 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6767 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6768 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6769
677012. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6771 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6772
677313. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6774 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6775 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6776 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6777 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6778
677914. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6780 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6781
678215. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6783 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6784 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6785
678616. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6787 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6788
678917. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6790 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6791
679218. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6793 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6794 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6795
679619. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6797 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6798
679920. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6800 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6801 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6802 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6803
680421. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6805
680622. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6807 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6808 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6809 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6810
681123. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6812
681324. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6814 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6815
681625. Added .include_if_exists.
6817
681826. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6819 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6820 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6821 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6822 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6823 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6824
682527. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6826
682728. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6828 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6829 this.
6830
683129. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6832
683330. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6834 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6835
6836 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6837 550 Sender verify failed
6838
6839 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6840 the final line of the response.
6841
684231. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6843 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6844 all other user lookups.
6845
684632. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6847 delivery time.
6848
684933. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6850 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6851 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6852 result into an int without checking.
6853
685434. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6855 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6856 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6857
685835. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6859 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6860 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6861 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6862
686336. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6864 correctly.
6865
686637. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6867 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6868
686938. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6870 to the empty sender.
6871
687239. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6873 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6874 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6875 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6876 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6877 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6878 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6879 panic log.
6880
688140. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6882 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6883 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6884 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6885 used.
6886
688741. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6888 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6889
689042. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6891 timestamps.
6892
689343. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6894 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6895
689644. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6897
689845. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6899 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6900 logs.
6901
690246. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6903 as soon as it is encountered.
6904
690547. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6906
690748. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6908 rewritten to "<>".
6909
691049. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6911 recognizes a tab character.
6912
691350. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6914 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6915 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6916 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6917
691851. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6919
692052. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6921 crash.
6922
692353. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6924
692554. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6926
692755. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6928 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6929 2822.
6930
693156. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6932 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6933 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6934 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6935 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6936
693757. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6938 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6939
694058. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6941 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6942 list (.included file names were always shown).
6943
694459. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6945 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6946 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6947 root at that time.
6948
694960. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6950 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6951
695261. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6953
695462. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6955
695663. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6957
695864. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6959 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6960 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6961 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6962 failures to open the logs.
6963
696465. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6965 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6966 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6967 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6968 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6969 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6970 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6971
6972
6973Exim version 4.24
6974-----------------
6975
6976 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6977 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6978 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6979 change 4.23/1.
6980
6981 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6982 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6983 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6984
6985 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6986 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6987 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6988
6989 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6990 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6991 causing some misleading effects.
6992
6993 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6994 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6995 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6996
6997 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6998 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6999 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
7000 queue-runner function directly.
7001
7002
7003Exim version 4.23
7004-----------------
7005
7006 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
7007 HEADERS_CHARSET.
7008
7009 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
7010 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
7011 was always written to the default place.
7012
7013 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
7014 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
7015 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
7016
7017 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
7018
7019 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
7020
7021 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
7022 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
7023 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
7024
7025 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
7026 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
7027 must start.
7028
7029 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
7030 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
7031 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
7032
7033 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
7034 command line option is disabled.
7035
7036 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
7037 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
7038
7039 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
7040
7041 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
7042
7043 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
7044 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
7045
704610. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
7047
704811. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
7049 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
7050 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
7051 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
7052 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
7053 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
7054
705512. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
7056 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
7057 timeout.
7058
705913. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
7060 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
7061
706214. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
7063 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
7064
706515. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
7066 received was valid base64.
7067
706816. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
7069 name of the variable that was being set.
7070
707117. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
7072
707318. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
7074 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
7075 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
7076 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
7077 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
7078 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
7079
708019. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
7081
708220. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
7083 nor realm was specified.
7084
708521. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
7086 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
7087 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
7088 errors are given to SMTP connections.
7089
709022. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
7091 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
7092 failing to send a response to QUIT.
7093
709423. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
7095 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
7096 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
7097
709824. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
7099 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
7100 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
7101 some systems use these upper case variants.
7102
710325. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
7104 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
7105 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
7106 socket" when it tried to send the third.
7107
710826. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
7109
711027. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
7111 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
7112
711328. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
7114 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
7115 expansion variable.
7116
711729. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
7118
711930. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
7120 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
7121 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
7122 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
7123
712431. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
7125 using it.
7126
712732. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
7128 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
7129 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
7130
713133. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
7132 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
7133
713434. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
7135 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
7136 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
7137 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
7138
713935. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
7140 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
7141 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
7142
714336. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
7144
714537. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
7146 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
7147 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
7148 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
7149 aborted.
7150
715138. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
7152 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
7153 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
7154
715539. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
7156
715740. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
7158 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
7159
716041. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
7161 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
7162
716342. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
7164 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
7165 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
7166 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
7167 when emails are that large.
7168
7169
7170
7171Exim version 4.22
7172-----------------
7173
7174 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
7175 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
7176
7177 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
7178 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
7179 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
7180
7181 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7182 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7183 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7184
7185 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7186 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7187 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7188 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7189 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7190
7191 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7192 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7193 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7194 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7195 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7196 ever.
7197
7198 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7199 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7200 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7201 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7202 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7203 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7204 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7205 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7206 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7207 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7208 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7209 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7210 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7211 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7212
7213 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7214 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7215 parameterised it.
7216
7217 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7218 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7219 error should be diagnosed.
7220
7221 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7222 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7223 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7224 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7225 appeared instead of "NULL".
7226
722710. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7228 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7229 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7230 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7231 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7232 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7233 proceeds).
7234
7235 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7236 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7237 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7238
7239
7240Exim version 4.21
7241-----------------
7242
7243 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7244 or receiver verification errors.
7245
7246 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7247 name.
7248
7249 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7250 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7251 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7252 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7253
7254 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7255 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7256 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7257 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7258 shouldn't happen again.
7259
7260 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7261 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7262 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7263
7264 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7265 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7266
7267 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7268
7269 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7270 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7271
7272 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7273 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7274 RFC.
7275
727610. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7277 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7278 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7279
728011. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7281 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7282 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7283 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7284
728512. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7286 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7287 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7288 to define what should happen).
7289
729013. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7291 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7292 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7293
729414. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7295
729615. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7297
729816. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7299 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7300
4c04137d 730117. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7302 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7303 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7304 structure in all cases.
7305
7306 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7307 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7308 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7309 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7310
731118. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7312 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7313 domain name.
7314
731519. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7316 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7317
731820. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7319 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7320
732121. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7322 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7323 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7324
732522. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7326 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7327 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7328
732923. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7330 the book and for uniformity.
7331
733224. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7333
733425. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7335 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7336 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7337 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7338 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7339 non-existent command as the problem.
7340
734126. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7342 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7343 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7344
734527. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7346
734728. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7348 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7349 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7350
735129. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7352 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7353 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7354 timestamps using strftime().
7355
735630. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7357 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7358
735932. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7360 transport-time rewrites.
7361
736233. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7363 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7364 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7365 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7366
736734. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7368 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7369
737035. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7371 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7372 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7373 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7374 comma and a space.
7375
737636. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7377 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7378 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7379 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7380 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7381 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7382 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7383
738437. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7385 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7386 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7387 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7388 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7389
739038. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7391 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7392 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7393 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7394 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7395 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7396 remaining text gets split now.
7397
739839. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7399 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7400 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7401 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7402
740340. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7404 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7405 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7406 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7407 $return_path.
7408
740941. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7410 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7411 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7412 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7413 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7414 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7415 passed through if needed.
7416
741742. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7418 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7419 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7420 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7421 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7422 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7423
742443. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7425 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7426 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7427 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7428 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7429
743044. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7431 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7432 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7433 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7434 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7435
743645. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7437 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7438 noticed.
7439
744046. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7441 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7442 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7443 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7444 mayhem of various kinds.
7445
744647. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7447 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7448 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7449 the right test for positive values.
7450
745148. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7452 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7453 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7454 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7455 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7456 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7457 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7458 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7459 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7460 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7461 envelope.
7462
746349. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7464 module.
7465
746650. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7467 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7468 forbidding it.
7469
747051. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7471 the existing equality matching.
7472
747352. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7474 dealing with inode numbers.
7475
747653. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7477 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7478 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7479
748054. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7481 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7482 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7483 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7484 local_scan().
7485
748655. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7487 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7488 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7489 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7490 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7491 relay addresses has also been removed.
7492
749356. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7494
749557. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7496 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7497 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7498
749958. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7500 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7501 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7502 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7503 processing applies to CR:
7504
7505 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7506 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7507
7508 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7509 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7510 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7511 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7512
751359. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7514 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7515 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7516
751760. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7518 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7519 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7520 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7521 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7522 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7523 arisen.
7524
752561. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7526 program routers.
7527
752862. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7529 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7530 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7531 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7532 adds:
7533
7534 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7535
7536 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7537
7538 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7539
754063. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7541 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7542 not considered personal.
7543
754464. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7545
754665. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7547
754866. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7549
755067. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7551 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7552 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7553 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7554 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7555 header lines, and spool format errors.
7556
755768. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7558 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7559 for more flexibility.
7560
756169. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7562 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7563 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7564
756570. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7566 Sabourenkov.
7567
756871. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7569 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7570 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7571 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7572 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7573 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7574 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7575 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7576 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7577
757872. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7579 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7580 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7581 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7582 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7583 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7584 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7585
758673. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7587 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7588 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7589
759074. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7591 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7592 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7593 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7594 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7595 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7596 instead of killing the process with assert().
7597
759875. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7599 than Unicode encoding.
7600
760176. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7602 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7603 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7604 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7605
760677. Added process_log_path.
7607
760878. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7609 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7610
761179. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7612 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7613
761480. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7615 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7616 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7617
761881. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7619 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7620 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7621 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7622 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7623 were applied:
7624
7625 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7626 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7627 as invalid.
7628
762982. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7630 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7631 they will be used during message reception.
