JH
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
8aa16eb7
JH
56JH/14 Bug 2500: Rewind some of the common-coding in string handling between the
57 Exim main code and Exim-related utities. The introduction of taint
58 tracking also did many adjustments to string handling. Since then, eximon
59 frequently terminated with an assert failure.
60
c4639661
JH
61JH/15 When PIPELINING, synch after every hundred or so RCPT commands sent and
62 check for 452 responses. This slightly helps the inefficieny of doing
63 a large alias-expansion into a recipient-limited target. The max_rcpt
64 transport option still applies (and at the current default, will override
65 the new feature). The check is done for either cause of synch, and forces
66 a fast-retry of all 452'd recipients using a new MAIL FROM on the same
67 connection. The new facility is not tunable at this time.
68
d85cdeb5 69
40ed89b3
JH
70Exim version 4.93
71-----------------
72
8a40db1c
JH
73JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
74 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 75
fc243e94 76JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
77 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
78 its own TCP segment.
79
897024f1
JH
80JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
81 each verb.
82
f1be21cf
JH
83JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
84
fe12ec88
JH
85JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
86
05bf16f6
JH
87JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
88 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
89
fc243e94
JH
90JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
91 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
92 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
93 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
94 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
95 suitably configured).
96
c05bdbd6 97JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
98 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
99
14bc9cf0
JH
100JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
101 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
102 crash could result.
103
254f38d1
JH
104JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
105 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
106
c09dbcfb
JH
107JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
108 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
109 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
110 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
111 to this system.
254f38d1 112
f9fc9427
JH
113JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
114 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
115 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
116
e6024a5e
JH
117JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
118 output.
119
1fbf41cd
JH
120JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
121 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
122
3c55eef2 123JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 124 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
125 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
126 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
127 input).
128
cb80814d
HSHR
129HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
130 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
131 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
132 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
133 (It was "hdr.$pid".)
134
7d8d08c4 135HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
82a996b1
HSHR
136 shared (NFS) environment.
137
7d8d08c4 138HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
82a996b1
HSHR
139 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
140 affected.
141
bd83c6f9
JH
142JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
143 on some platforms for bit 31.
144
d9acfc1c
JH
145JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
146 to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
147 previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
148 like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
149 and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
150 the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
151 This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
152 and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
153
b10c87b3
JH
154JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
155
7a501c87
JH
156JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
157 verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
158
e5903596
JH
159JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue. Previously, even with the option
160 queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
161 facility.
162
12d95aa6
JH
163JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
164 directory-of-certs mode. Previously they were advertised despite the
165 documentation.
166
96eb7d2a
JH
167JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
168 A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
169 for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
170 not do so.
171
59c0959a 172JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
01603eec
JH
173 default. If built with the facility, DANE will be used. The facility
174 SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
175
176JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
de517fd3
JH
177 is replaced with DISABLE_TLS. Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
178 must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
179 the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
180 choice. Non-TLS builds are still supported.
59c0959a 181
48519cef
JH
182JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
183 reject under TFO.
96eb7d2a 184
efad2f41 185JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
4e48d56c 186 default. If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
efad2f41
JH
187 be requested on all coneections.
188
4e48d56c
JH
189JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
190 controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.
191
6ee11061 192PP/01 Unbreak heimdal_gssapi, broken in 4.92.
0a5441fc 193
87abcb24
JH
194JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
195 success-DSN messages. Previously the From: header was always the default
196 one for these; the option was ignored.
6ee11061 197
0a5441fc
JH
198JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
199 Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
200 single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
201 long time. Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
202
436bda2a
JH
203JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field. Previously it was the post-routing
204 delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
205 forwarding. Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
206 standards.
207
df98a6ff
JH
208JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
209 requested. Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
210 error ignored was made.
211
21aa0597
JH
212JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)
213
f3ebb786
JH
214JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
215 channel, and values derived from them. Refuse to expand any tainted
216 values, to catch one form of exploit.
217
9fa4d5b4
RJ
218JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option. Previously the expansion result
219 was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test. Found and
220 fixed by Ruben Jenster.
221
bd231acd
JH
222JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown. When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
223 an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
224 causing a segfault.
225
7b564712
JH
226JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
227 them in our smtp response.
228
9c6881f8 229JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
dbbf21a7
JH
230 any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything). Previously it
231 was only for check_local user. The change removes one item of manual
232 configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
233 handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
234
9c6881f8
JH
235JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
236 link count into consideration.
237
7d8d08c4
JH
238HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
239 caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
240
241JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
242 accordance with RFC 2308. Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
243 receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
244 surprise.
245
c3aefacc
HSHR
246HS/05 Handle trailing backslash gracefully. (CVE-2019-15846)
247
1a2e76e1
JH
248JH/39 Promote DMARC support to mainline.
249
d6c829b9
JH
250JH/40 Bug 2452: Add a References: header to DSNs.
251
49132a3b
JH
252JH/41 With GnuTLS 3.6.0 (and later) do not attempt to manage Diffie-Hellman
253 parameters. The relevant library call is documented as "Deprecated: This
254 function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. Since
255 3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919."
256
ab0e957b 257HS/06 Change the default of dnssec_request_domains to "*"
40ed89b3 258
c5040dfd
JH
259JH/42 Bug 2545: Fix CHUNKING for all RCPT commands rejected. Previously we
260 carried on and emitted a BDAT command, even when PIPELINING was not
261 active.
262
13e70f55
JH
263JH/43 Bug 2465: Fix taint-handling in dsearch lookup. Previously a nontainted
264 buffer was used for the filename, resulting in a trap when tainted
265 arguments (eg. $domain) were used.
266
2043336d
JH
267JH/44 With OpenSSL 1.1.1 (onwards) disable renegotiation for TLS1.2 and below;
268 recommended to avoid a possible server-load attack. The feature can be
269 re-enabled via the openssl_options main cofiguration option.
270
b2d54f83
JH
271JH/45 local_scan API: documented the current smtp_printf() call. This changed
272 for version 4.90 - adding a "more data" boolean to the arguments.
b3317cfa
JH
273 Bumped the ABI version number also, this having been missed previously;
274 release versions 4.90 to 4.92.3 inclusive were effectively broken in
275 respect of usage of smtp_printf() by either local_scan code or libraries
276 accessed via the ${dlfunc } expansion item. Both will need coding
277 adjustment for any calls to smtp_printf() to match the new function
278 signature; a FALSE value for the new argument is always safe.
b2d54f83 279
1bf08084
JH
280JH/46 FreeBSD: fix use of the sendfile() syscall. The shim was not updating
281 the file-offset (which the Linux syscall does, and exim expects); this
282 resulted in an indefinite loop.
283
7af11cd0
JH
284JH/47 ARC: fix crash in signing, triggered when a configuration error failed
285 to do ARC verification. The Authentication-Results: header line added
286 by the configuration then had no ARC item.
287
c5040dfd 288
d99f54e4
JH
289Exim version 4.92
290-----------------
291
9723f966
JH
292JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
293 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
294
295JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
296 non-signal-safe functions being used.
297
298JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
299 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
300 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 301
ea7b1f16
JH
302JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
303 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
304 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
305
cfbb0d24
JH
306JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
307 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
308 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
309 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
310 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
311 messed with.
312
85defcf0
PP
313PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
314 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
315
1bd642c2
JH
316JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
317 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
318 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
319 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
320 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
321 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
322 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
323
2ddb4094
JH
324JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
325 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
326
1613fd68
JH
327JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
328 legitimate.
329
e6057245
JH
330JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
331 Previously this would segfault.
332
7b9822bf
JH
333JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
334 segfault.
335
d8d9f930
JH
336JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
337 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
338 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
339 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
340 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
341 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
342
61e3f250
JH
343JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
344
7a8b9519
JH
345JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
346 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
347 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
348 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
349
49e56fb3
JH
350JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
351
74f1a423
JH
352JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
353 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
354 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
355 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
356
5054c4fd 357JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
358
359JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
5054c4fd 360
946515bf
JH
361JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
362 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
363 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
364
8c34c611
JH
365JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
366 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
367 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
368
1bca4f5f
PP
369PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
370
8a6b4e02
JH
371JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
372 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
373 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
374 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
375
0a682b6c
PP
376PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
377 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
378 promised '?' replacement.
379
c2c451ac
PP
380PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
381
8768d548
JH
382JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
383 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
384 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
385 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
386 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
387
5455f548
JH
388JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
389 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
390 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.

509JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
510 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
511 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
512 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
513 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
514 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
515 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
516 Main pool for expansions.
517 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,

626JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such

628 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
629 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
630 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
631 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
632 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the

1170 Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
1171 process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
1172 using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
1173 file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.

1581
1582 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
1583 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
1584 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
1585 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
1586 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging

1833TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1834
1835 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1836 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1837 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1838 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1839 the retry rules.
1840
1841 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1842 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1843 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1844
1845 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1846 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1847 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1848 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1849
1ddeb334
TF
1850 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1851 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1852 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1853 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1854 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1855 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1856 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1857
1858 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1859 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

2181TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
2182 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
2183 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
2184
2185 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
2186 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
2187 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
2188 not safe for signals.
2189
2190 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2191 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2192 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2193 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2194 exiwhat.
2195
c99ce5c9
TF
2196TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2197
2198 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2199 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2200 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2201 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 2202 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
2203
2204 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2205 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2206 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2207 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2208 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2209 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2210
2211 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2212 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2213 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2214 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2215
2216 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2217 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2218 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2219 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2220
2221 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2222 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2223 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2224 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2225 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2226 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2227 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2228 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2229 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2230
2231 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2232 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2233 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2234 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2235
2236 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2237 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2238 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2239 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2240 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2241 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2242 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2243 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2244 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2245 details in the main documentation.

2795 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
2796 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
2797 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
2798 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
2799 build errors in sieve.c.

2814Exim version 4.68
2815-----------------
2816
2817PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2818
6a3bceb1
PH
2819PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2820 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2821 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2822 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2823 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2824 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2825 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2826 for iplsearch lookups.
2827
2828 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2829 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2830 previously such lookups could never work.
2831
4c04137d 2832 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2833 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2834 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
2835

2837 version.
2838

MH
2839MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2840 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2841 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2842 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2843 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2844 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

2848
0f2cbd1b
MH
2849MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2850 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2851 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2852 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2853 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2854 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2927PH/02 In an ACL statement such as

2929 deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
2930
2931 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2932 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2933 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
2934 The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second
2935 item. This has been fixed.

PH
3037PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
3038 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
3039 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
3040 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
3041 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
3042 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
3043 pipelining has not been advertised.

3058 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
3059 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
3060 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
3061 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

3117 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
3118 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
3119 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
3120 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
3121 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
3122 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
3123 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim

3135PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
3136 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
3137
3138 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
3139 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
3140
3141 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
3142 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
3143 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
3144
3145 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
3146 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
3147 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
3148 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
3149 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

3166 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

PH
3193PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3194 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3195 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3196 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3197 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3198 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3199 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3200 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3201 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3202 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3203 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3239 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3240 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3241 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3242 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3243 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host

14aa5a05
PH
3248 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3249 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3250 function.
3251 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3252 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3253 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3254 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3255 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3256 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3257 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3258 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3259 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3266 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3267 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3268 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3269 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3270 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3271 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

3276
322050c2
PH
3277PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3278 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3279 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3280 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3281 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3282 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3283 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3284 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3285 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3286 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3287 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3288 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3289 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

3292 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3293 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3294 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3295 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3296 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3297 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

3299PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3300 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3301 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3302 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3303 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3304 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3305 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3306 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3307 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3308 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

3310PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

3313 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3314 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3316PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3317 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3318 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3319 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3320 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3321 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3322 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3328 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3329 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has

PH
3361
3362PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3363 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3364 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3365 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3366 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3367 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3368 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3369 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3370 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3371
3372 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3373 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3374 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3375 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3376 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3377 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3378 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3379 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3380 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3381
3382 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3383 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3384 hammering the server.

48c7f9e2
PH
3405PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue

3407 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3408 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3409 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting

3410 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3411 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now

3685 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3686 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3687 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3688 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3689 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

3775 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

3812 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3813 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3814 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3815 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3816 values from the SRV records were lost.

3826PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3827 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3828 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3829 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3830 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3831 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3832 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3833 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3834 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3931PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3932 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3933 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3934 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3935 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3936 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3937 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3938 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3939 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3940 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3952 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3953 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the

3977
3978 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3979 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3980 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3981 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3982
3983 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3984 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3985 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3986
3987PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3988 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3989 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3990 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

4061PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
4062 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
4063 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
4064 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
4065 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
4066 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
4067 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
4068 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
4069 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
4070 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
4071 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

4132
4133 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])

4227 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
4228 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
4229 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4230 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4231 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4232 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4233 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4234 the text comparison.
4235
96776534
PH
4236PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
4237 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
4238 form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
4239 The same fix has been applied.

4619 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
4620 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
4621 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim
4622 with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it
4623 falls back to the previous guessing code."

4682 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it

4751
4752PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4753 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4754 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4755 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4756 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4757 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4758 file.
4759
4760PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4761 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4762 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4763 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4764 these two options.

4766PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4767 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4768 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4769 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4770 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4771 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4772 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4773 address.

4777
4778PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4779 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4780 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4781 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4782 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4783 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4784
4785PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

4837 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4838 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4839 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4840 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4841 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check

4847 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4848 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1

PH
4861PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4862 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4863 understands it better than I do:
4864
4865 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4866 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4867
4868 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4869 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4870 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4871 => three warnings about OTP not working
4872 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4873
4874 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4875 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4876 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4877 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4878 for each call.)
4879 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4880 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4881
4882 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4883 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4884 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

PH
4948PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4949 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4950 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4951 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4952 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4953 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4954 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4955
4956 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4957 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4958 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4959 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4960 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4961
4962 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4963 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4964 routed further.

5008 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
5009 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
5010 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
5011 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
5012 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
5013 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
5014 the log output.

5016PH/46 The "scripts/Configure-config.h" script calls "make" at one point. On
5017 systems where "make" and "gmake" are different, calling "gmake" at top
5018 level broke things. I've arranged for the value of $(MAKE) to be passed
5019 from the Makefile to this script so that it can call the same version of
5020 "make".

5023A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
5024----------------------------------------
5025
5026Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
5027changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
5028needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
5029in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
5030that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
5031release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
5032from 4.43.
5033
5034I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
50354.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
5036those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
5037historical information.

PH
5043 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5044
139059f6 5045 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the
5fe762f6 5046 computation of the current number of files was incorrect.
495ae4b0 5047
7086e875
PH
5048 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5049 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5050 place.
5051
35af9f61
PH
5052 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5053 filter fails to execute.
5054
b668c215
PH
5055 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5056 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5057 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5058 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5059 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5060
a494b1e1
PH
5061 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
5062
5063 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5064 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5065 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5066 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
35edf2ff 5067
c5fcb476
PH
5068 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5069 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5070 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5071 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5072 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5073
69358f02
PH
5074 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission".
5075
5be20824
PH
507610. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5077
eb2c0248
PH
507811. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5079 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5080 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5081 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5082
2a3eea10
PH
508312. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5084 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5085 sender verification.
5086
508713. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
5088 $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.
5089
23c7ff99
PH
509014. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.
5091
4deaf07d
PH
509215. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different
5093 connection timeout.
5094
926e1192
PH
509516. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5096 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5097
650edc6f
PH
509817. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5099 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5100
2c7db3f5
PH
510118. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
5102 information about exactly what failed.
5103
3d235903
PH
510419. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.
5105
7c7ad977
PH
510620. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
5107 handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
5108 CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).
5109
981756db
PH
511021. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
5111 It is now set to "smtps".
5112
d4eb88df
PH
511322. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5114 ignore_target_hosts.
5115
511623. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5117 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5118 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5119 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5120 "[x.x.x.x]".
5121
7d468ab8
PH
512224. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5123 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5124 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5125
512625. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5127 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5128 wake it up if nothing else does.
5129
62c0818f
PH
513026. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5131 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5132 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5133 end up negative.
5134
26034054
PH
513527. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5136 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5137
af66f652
PH
513828. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
5139
90af77f4
PH
514029. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
5141 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
5142 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
5143 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
5144 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
5145 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
5146 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
5147 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
5148
d8ef3577
PH
514930. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
5150 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
5151 than one IP address.
5152
5cb8cbc6
PH
515331. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
5154 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
5155 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
5156 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
5157
14702f5b
PH
515832. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5159 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5160 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5161 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5162 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5163 1024 to 2048 bytes.
5164
063b1e99
PH
516533. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
5166 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
5167 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
5168 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
5169
652e1b65
PH
517034. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5171 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5172 respected.
5173
6f0c9a4f
PH
517435. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5175 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5176 $sender_host_address.
5177
33397d19
PH
517836. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
5179 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
5180 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
5181 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
5182 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
5183 very small.
5184
7bb56e1f
PH
518537. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
5186
5187 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
5188 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
5189
ea3bc19b
PH
5190 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
5191 just the host names, not the priorities.
5192
5193 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
5194 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
5195 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 5196
ea3bc19b 5197 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 5198 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 5199
0bcb2a0e
PH
520038. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
5201 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
5202 domain.
5203
2ac0e484
PH
520439. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
5205
4e1fde53
PH
520640. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
5207 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
5208
de365ded
PH
520941. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5210 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5211 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
5212
f05da2e8
PH
521342. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.

d6453af2
PH
521543. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
5216
f7b63901
PH
521744. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
5218
521945. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5220 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5221 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5222 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5223 because the tests only now provoked it.
5224
a444213a
PH
522546. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5226 (this can affect the format of dates).
5227
0ec020ea
PH
522847. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5229 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5230 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5231 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
5232
b1206957
PH
523348. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
5234
523549. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5236 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5237 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5238 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
5239
26dd5a95
PH
524050. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5241 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5242 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
5243
343b2385
PH
524451. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5245 autoreply.
5246
1c5466b9
PH
524752. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5248 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5249 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5250 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5251 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5252 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5253 is going on).
5254
55ee9ee3
PH
525553. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5256 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5257 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5258 the line.
5259
d38f8232
PH
526054. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5261 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5262 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5263
5264 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5265 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5266 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5267 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5268 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5269 so I produce this patch..."
5270
3295e65b
PH
5271 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5272 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5273 is not defined.
5274
7102e136
PH
527555. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5276 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
5277 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5278 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

PH
528156. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
5282
c2bcbe20
PH
528357. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
5284 long debug lines gets shown.
5285
18ce445d
PH
528658. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
5287 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
5288
1f5b4c3d
PH
528959. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5290
5291 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5292 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5293 of $primary_hostname.
5294
b975ba52
PH
529560. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5296 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5297 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5298 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5299 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5300 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5301 by change 4.50/55 above.
5302
5303 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5304 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5305 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5306 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5307 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5308 running as the user.

PH
5310
531161. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5312 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5313 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 5314 CAN-2005-0022
b975ba52 5315

PH
531662. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
5317 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
5318
d95f9fdb
PH
531963. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5320 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5321 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5322 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5323 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5324
86b8287f
PH
532564. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5326 This has been fixed.
5327
60dc5e56
PH
532865. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5329 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5330 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5331 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5332 the caching.)
5333
533244af
PH
533466. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5335
a5a28604
PH
533667. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5337 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5338 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5339 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5340
7e634d24
PH
534168. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5342 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5343
3e11c26b
PH
534469. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5345 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5346 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5347
6729cf78
PH
534870. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5349 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5350 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5351 message there.
5352
00f00ca5
PH
535371. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5354 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5355 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5356
c9bdd01c
PH
535772. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5358 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5359 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5360 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5361
d43194df
PH
536273. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5363 during host lookups.
5364
fe5b5d0b
PH
536574. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5366 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5367
5368 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5369
76a2d7ba
PH
537075. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5371 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5372 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5373 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5374 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5375 background.
5376
537776. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5378 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5379
04f7d5b9
PH
538077. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5381 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5382 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5383
bc60667e
PH
538478. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5385
bb6e88ff
PH
538679. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5387 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5388 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5389 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5390 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5391 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5392 process earlier.
5393
1e70f85b
PH
539480. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5395 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5396 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5397 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5398 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.

5414----------------------------------------------------
5415See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5416----------------------------------------------------
5417
5418
5419Exim version 4.44
5420-----------------
5421
5422 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5423 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5424 transport
5425
5426 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5427 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5428 place.
5429
5430 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5431 filter fails to execute.
5432
5433 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5434 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5435 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5436 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5437 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5438
5439 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5440 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5441 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5442 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5443
5444 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5445 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5446 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5447 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5448 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5449
5450 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5451
5452 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5453 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5454 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5455 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5456
5457 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5458 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5459 sender verification.
5460
546110. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5462 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5463
546411. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5465 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5466
546712. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5468 ignore_target_hosts.
5469
547013. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5471 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5472 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5473 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5474 "[x.x.x.x]".
5475
547614. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5477 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5478 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5479
548015. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5481 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5482 wake it up if nothing else does.
5483
548416. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5485 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5486 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5487 end up negative.
5488
548917. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5490 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5491
ea3a6f44 549218. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5493
549419. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5495 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5496 empty pattern.
5497
549820. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5499 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5500 one IP address.
5501
ea3a6f44
NM
550221. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5503 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5504 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5505 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5506 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5507 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5508
ea3a6f44
NM
550922. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5510 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5511 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5512
551323. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5514 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5515 $sender_host_address.
5516
551724. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5518
ea3a6f44
NM
551925. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5520 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5521 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5522
552326. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5524 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5525
ea3a6f44
NM
552627. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5527 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5528
ea3a6f44
NM
552928. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5530 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5531 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5532 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
5533
553429. eximstats updated to version 1.35
5535 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
5536 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
5537
ea3a6f44
NM
553830. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5539 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5540 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5541 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 5542
ea3a6f44
NM
554331. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5544 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5545 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 5546
ea3a6f44
NM
554731. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5548 autoreply.
bbe902f0 5549
ea3a6f44
NM
555032. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5551 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5552 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5553 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5554 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5555 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5556 is going on).
bbe902f0 5557
ea3a6f44
NM
555833. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5559 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5560 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5561 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0
PH
5562 CAN-2005-0021
5563
ea3a6f44
NM
556434. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5565 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5566 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5567 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5568 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5569 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5570 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5571
5572 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5573 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5574 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5575 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5576 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5577 running as the user.
bbe902f0

5578 CAN-2005-0021
5579
ea3a6f44
NM
558035. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5581 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5582 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
bbe902f0
PH
5583 CAN-2005-0022
5584
ea3a6f44
NM
558536. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5586 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5587 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5588 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5589 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 5590
ea3a6f44
NM
559137. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5592 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5593 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5594 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5595 the caching.)
bbe902f0 5596
ea3a6f44
NM
559738. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5598 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5599 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5600 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5601 because the tests only now provoked it.

5604Exim version 4.43
5605-----------------
5606
5607 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5608 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5609 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5610 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5611 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5612 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5613 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5614
5615 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5616 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5617 the delivery.
5618
5619 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5620
5621 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5622
5623 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5624 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5625 to local_scan().
5626
5627 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5628 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5629 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5630 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5631 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5632
5633 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5634 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5635
5636 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5637
5638 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5639
564010. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5641 header_sender only.
5642
564311. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5644 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5645
564612. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5647 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5648 affecting debugging statements).
5649
565013. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5651
565214. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5653 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5654 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5655 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5656 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5657 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5658 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5659 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5660 after the received time, and all would be well.
5661
566215. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5663 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5664 condition in an expansion string.
5665
566616. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5667
566817. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5669 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5670 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5671 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5672 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5673 job under whatever limits there are.
5674
567518. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5676
567719. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5678 space).
5679
568020. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5681 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5682 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5683 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5684 return path is set.
5685
568621. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5687 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5688 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5689 binary data in such strings.
5690
569122. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5692
569323. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5694 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5695 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5696 failure, which is pointless.
5697
569824. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5699
570025. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5701
570226. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5703 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5704 Sender: header lines.
5705
570627. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5707 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5708 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5709
571028. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5711 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5712 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5713 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5714 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5715 happens.
5716
571729. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5718 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5719 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5720 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5721 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5722
572330. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5724 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5725 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5726 1024.
5727
572831. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5729 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5730
573132. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5732 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5733
573433. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5735
573632. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5737
573833. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5739
574034. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5741 syntax error.
5742
574335. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5744
574536. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5746
574737. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5748 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5749 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5750 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5751
575238. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5753 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5754
5755
5756Exim version 4.42
5757-----------------
5758
5759 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5760 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5761 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5762 it was not quoted.
5763 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5764 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5765 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5766 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5767 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5768 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5769
5770 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5771 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5772 verification failure".
5773
5774 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5775 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5776 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5777 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5778
5779 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5780 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5781 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5782 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5783 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5784 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5785 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5786 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5787 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5788 treated as a timeout.
5789
5790 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5791 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5792 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5793 not set for Exim filters).
5794
5795 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5796 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5797 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5798
5799 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5800
5801 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5802 try to make them clearer.
5803
5804 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5805 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5806
5807 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5808
5809 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5810
581110. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5812 only the Cygwin environment.
5813
581411. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5815 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5816 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5817 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5818 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5819
582012. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5821 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5822 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5823 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5824 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5825 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5826 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5827
582813. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5829 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5830
583114. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5832
5833 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5834 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5835 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5836
5837 To: susanne@some.where
5838
5839 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5840 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5841 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5842 of addresses in From: header lines).
5843
5844 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5845 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5846 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5847
5848 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5849 treated as non-personal.
5850
5851 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5852 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5853
585415. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5855
585616. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5857
585817. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5859 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5860 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5861
586218. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5863 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5864
586519. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5866 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5867 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5868 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5869 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5870 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5871
587220. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5873 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5874 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5875 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5876 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5877 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5878 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5879 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5880
5881 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5882
588321. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5884 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5885
588622. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5887 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5888 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5889
589023. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5891 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5892
589324. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5894 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5895 rather than long int.
5896
589725. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5898
589926. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5900
5901
5902Exim version 4.41
5903-----------------
5904
5905 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5906 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5907 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5908 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5909 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5910 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5911
5912
5913Exim version 4.40
5914-----------------
5915
5916 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5917 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5918
5919 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5920 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5921 socklen_t is defined.
5922
5923 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5924 always exist.
5925
5926 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5927 configured.
5928
5929 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5930 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5931 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5932 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5933 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5934
5935 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5936 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5937 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5938 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5939
5940 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5941 of flapping under certain conditions.
5942
5943 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5944 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5945 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5946
5947 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5948
594910. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5950
595111. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5952 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5953 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5954 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5955
595612. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5957 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5958 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5959 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5960 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5961 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5962 preserved with the message after it was received.
5963
596413. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5965 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5966 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5967 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5968 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5969 test suite worked just fine.
5970
597114. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5972 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5973 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5974
597515. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5976 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5977 string.
5978
597916. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5980 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5981 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5982 does not fully solve it.
5983
598417. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5985 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5986 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5987 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5988 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5989
599018. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5991 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5992 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5993
599419. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5995 string, for example:
5996
5997 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5998
5999 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
6000 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
6001 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
6002 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
6003 the routers could not see them.
6004
600520. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
6006 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
6007
600821. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
6009 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
6010 output).
6011
601222. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
6013 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
6014 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
6015 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
6016 that needed quoting.
6017
601823. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
6019 was not being matched caselessly.
6020
602124. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
6022 backslashes.
6023
602425. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
6025 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
6026 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
6027 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
6028 when use_sender is false.
6029
603026. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
6031
603227. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
6033
603428. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
6035
603629. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
6037 the configuration file.
6038
603930. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
6040 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
6041
604231. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
6043
604432. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
6045 bytes in the message body.
6046
604733. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
6048 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
6049 delivery.
6050
605134. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
6052
605335. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
6054
605536. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
6056 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
6057 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
6058 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
6059 another IP address.
6060
6061
6062Exim version 4.34
6063-----------------
6064
6065 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
6066 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
6067
6068 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
6069 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
6070 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
6071 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
6072 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
6073
6074 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
6075 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
6076
6077 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
6078 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
6079 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
6080
6081 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
6082 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
6083 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
6084
6085 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
6086 for routers.
6087
6088 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
6089 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
6090 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
6091 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
6092 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
6093 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
6094 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
6095
6096
6097Exim version 4.33
6098-----------------
6099
6100 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
6101 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
6102 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
6103 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
6104 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
6105 default (and expected) setting.
6106
6107 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
6108 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
6109 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
6110 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
6111
6112 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
6113 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
6114
6115 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
6116 in domain lists.
6117
6118 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
6119 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
6120 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
6121 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
6122 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
6123 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
6124
6125 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
6126 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
6127 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
6128
6129 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
6130 part (NOT match_host).
6131
6132 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
6133
6134 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
6135 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
6136 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
6137 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
6138 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
6139 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
6140 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
6141 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
6142 the same named file.
6143
614410. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
6145 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
6146 when Exim is built.
6147
614811. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
6149 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
6150 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
6151 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
6152 a host name.
6153
615412. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
6155 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
6156 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
6157
615813. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
6159
616014. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
6161
616215. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
6163
616416. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
6165 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
6166
616717. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
6168 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
6169 before starting the TLS session.
6170
617118. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
6172
617319. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
6174 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
6175
617620. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
6177 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
6178 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
6179 colon in the middle).
6180
6181
6182Exim version 4.32
6183-----------------
6184
6185 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
6186 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
6187 multiple configurations are in use.
6188
6189 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
6190 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6191 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6192 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6193 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6194 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6195
6196 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6197 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6198
6199 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6200 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6201 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6202
6203 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6204 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6205 occurs.
6206
6207 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6208 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6209
6210 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6211
6212 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6213 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6214
6215 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6216
6217 -prval:sval
6218
6219 is equivalent to
6220
6221 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6222
6223 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6224 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6225 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6226 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6227 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6228
622910. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6230 Exim's behaviour:
6231
6232 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6233 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6234 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6235 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6236 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6237 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6238
6239 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6240 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6241 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6242 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6243 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6244 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6245 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6246 string.
6247
6248 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6249 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6250 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6251 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6252 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6253
625411. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6255
625612. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6257 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6258 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6259
626013. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6261
626214. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6263 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6264 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6265 information.
6266
626715. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6268 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6269
627016. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6271 Three changes have been made:
6272
6273 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6274 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6275 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6276 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6277 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6278
6279 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6280 been restored.
6281
6282 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6283 the modified behaviour.
6284
6285
6286Exim version 4.31
6287-----------------
6288
6289 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6290 Larry Rosenman.
6291
6292 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6293 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6294
6295 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6296 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6297 try to track down a specific problem.
6298
6299 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6300 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6301 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6302
6303 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6304 warning.
6305
6306 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6307 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6308 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6309 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6310 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6311 some earlier ones do not.
6312
6313 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6314
6315 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6316 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6317 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6318 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6319 address literals are enabled, of course).
6320
6321 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6322
632310. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6324 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6325 by a command such as
6326
6327 exim -f "" ...
6328
6329 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6330
633111. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6332
633312. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6334 remained set. It is now erased.
6335
633613. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6337 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6338
633914. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6340 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6341 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6342 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6343 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6344 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6345 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6346 appropriate error code.
6347
634815. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6349 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6350 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6351 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6352 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6353 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6354
635516. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6356 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6357 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6358
635917. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6360 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6361 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6362 terminate the header.
6363
636418. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6365 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6366 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6367
636819. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6369 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6370 (4.30/29). In particular:
6371
6372 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6373 imposed.
6374
6375 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6376 to write a maildirsize file.
6377
6378 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6379 the transport, the new value overrides.
6380
6381 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6382 count.
6383
638420. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6385 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6386 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6387 space or a tab.
6388
638921. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6390 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6391 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6392 the fallback hosts.
6393
639422. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6395 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6396 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6397
639823. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6399 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6400 using a union.
6401
640224. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6403 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6404 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6405
640625. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6407
640826. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6409
641027. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6411
641228. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6413 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6414 become corrupted.
6415
641629. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6417 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6418 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6419 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6420 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6421 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6422 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6423 too great.
6424
642530. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6426 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6427 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6428 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6429 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6430 incorrectly.
6431
643231. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6433 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6434 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6435 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6436 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6437 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6438 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6439 cached value only when the same options are set.
6440
644132. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6442
644333. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6444 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6445 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6446 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6447 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6448
644934: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6450 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6451 it is clearly obsolete.
6452
645335. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6454 transport.
6455
645636. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6457 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6458 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6459 times.
6460
646137. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6462 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6463 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6464 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6465 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6466
646738. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6468 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6469 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6470 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6471
647239. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6473
6474 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6475
6476 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6477 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6478 2^31.
6479
648040. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6481 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6482 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6483 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6484 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6485 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6486 $localpart_data.
6487
648841. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6489 with the -f command-line option.
6490
649142. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6492 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6493 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6494 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6495 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6496 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6497
649843. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6499 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6500 line.
6501
650244. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6503 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6504 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6505 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6506 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6507 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6508 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6509 buffer is too small.
6510
651145. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6512 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6513
651446. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6515 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6516 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6517 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6518 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6519 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6520 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6521 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6522 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6523
652447. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6525 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6526 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6527
652848. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6529 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6530 ACL").
6531
653249. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6533 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6534 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6535 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6536 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6537
653850. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6539 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6540 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6541 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6542 is set.
6543
654451. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6545
654652. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6547
654853. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6549 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6550
655154. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6552 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6553 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6554
655555. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6556 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6557 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6558 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6559 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6560
656156. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6562 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6563 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6564 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6565 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6566 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6567 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6568
656957. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6570 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6571 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6572 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6573 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6574 the test of how many are available.
6575
657658. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6577 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6578 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6579 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6580 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6581 new message is started.
6582
658359. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6584 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6585
658660. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6587 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6588
658961. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6590 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6591 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6592 is no long logged.
6593
659462. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6595 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6596 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6597 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6598 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6599 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6600 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6601
660263. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6603 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6604 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6605 interpreted as octal.
6606
660764. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6608 setting.
6609
661065. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6611 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6612 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6613 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6614 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6615 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6616
661766. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6618 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6619 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6620 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6621
6622 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6623 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6624 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6625 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6626
6627 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6628 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6629 is a bug fix.
6630
6631 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6632 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6633
663467. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6635
663668. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6637 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6638 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6639 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6640
664169. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6642 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6643 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6644 supplied", which is not helpful.
6645
664670. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6647 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6648 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6649
665071. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6651 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6652 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6653 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6654 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6655 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6656 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6657 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6658
665972. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6660 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6661 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6662 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6663 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6664
666573. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6666 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6667 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6668 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6669 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6670 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6671
667274. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6673 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6674 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6675
667675. Added write_rejectlog option.
6677
667876. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6679 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6680 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6681 variables.
6682
668377. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6684
668578. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6686 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6687 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6688 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6689 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6690 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6691 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6692 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6693
669479. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6695 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6696 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6697 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6698 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6699
670080. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6701 Haardt.
6702
670381. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6704 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6705 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6706 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6707 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6708 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6709 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6710 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6711 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6712
6713
6714Exim version 4.30
6715-----------------
6716
6717 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6718 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6719 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6720
6721 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6722 fixed.
6723
6724 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6725 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6726 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6727
6728 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6729 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6730 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6731 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6732 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6733 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6734
6735 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6736 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6737 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6738 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6739 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6740 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6741 the Exim test suite.
6742
6743 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6744 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6745 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6746 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6747
6748 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6749 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6750 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6751 specify it in this variable.
6752
6753 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6754 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6755 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6756 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6757
6758 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6759 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6760 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6761 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6762
6763 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6764 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6765 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6766 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6767 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6768
6769 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6770
677110. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6772 they are logged.
6773
677411. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6775 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6776 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6777 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6778 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6779
678012. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6781 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6782
678313. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6784 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6785 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6786 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6787 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6788
678914. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6790 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6791
679215. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6793 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6794 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6795
679616. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6797 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6798
679917. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6800 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6801
680218. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6803 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6804 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6805
680619. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6807 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6808
680920. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6810 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6811 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6812 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6813
681421. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6815
681622. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6817 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6818 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6819 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6820
682123. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6822
682324. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6824 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6825
682625. Added .include_if_exists.
6827
682826. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6829 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6830 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6831 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6832 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6833 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6834
683527. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6836
683728. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6838 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6839 this.
6840
684129. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6842
684330. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6844 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6845
6846 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6847 550 Sender verify failed
6848
6849 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6850 the final line of the response.
6851
685231. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6853 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6854 all other user lookups.
6855
685632. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6857 delivery time.
6858
685933. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6860 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6861 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6862 result into an int without checking.
6863
686434. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6865 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6866 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6867
686835. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6869 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6870 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6871 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6872
687336. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6874 correctly.
6875
687637. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6877 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6878
687938. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6880 to the empty sender.
6881
688239. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6883 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6884 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6885 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6886 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6887 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6888 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6889 panic log.
6890
689140. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6892 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6893 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6894 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6895 used.
6896
689741. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6898 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6899
690042. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6901 timestamps.
6902
690343. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6904 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6905
690644. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6907
690845. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6909 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6910 logs.
6911
691246. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6913 as soon as it is encountered.
6914
691547. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6916
691748. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6918 rewritten to "<>".
6919
692049. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6921 recognizes a tab character.
6922
692350. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6924 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6925 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6926 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6927
692851. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6929
693052. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6931 crash.
6932
693353. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6934
693554. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6936
693755. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6938 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6939 2822.
6940
694156. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6942 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6943 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6944 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6945 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6946
694757. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6948 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6949
695058. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6951 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6952 list (.included file names were always shown).
6953
695459. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6955 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6956 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6957 root at that time.
6958
695960. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6960 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6961
696261. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6963
696462. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6965
696663. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6967
696864. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6969 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6970 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6971 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6972 failures to open the logs.
6973
697465. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6975 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6976 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6977 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6978 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6979 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6980 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6981
6982
6983Exim version 4.24
6984-----------------
6985
6986 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6987 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6988 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6989 change 4.23/1.
6990
6991 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6992 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6993 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6994
6995 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6996 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6997 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6998
6999 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
7000 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
7001 causing some misleading effects.
7002
7003 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
7004 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
7005 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
7006
7007 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
7008 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
7009 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
7010 queue-runner function directly.
7011
7012
7013Exim version 4.23
7014-----------------
7015
7016 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
7017 HEADERS_CHARSET.
7018
7019 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
7020 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
7021 was always written to the default place.
7022
7023 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
7024 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
7025 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
7026
7027 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
7028
7029 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
7030
7031 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
7032 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
7033 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
7034
7035 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
7036 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
7037 must start.
7038
7039 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
7040 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
7041 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
7042
7043 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
7044 command line option is disabled.
7045
7046 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
7047 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
7048
7049 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
7050
7051 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
7052
7053 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
7054 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
7055
705610. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
7057
705811. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
7059 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
7060 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
7061 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
7062 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
7063 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
7064
706512. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
7066 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
7067 timeout.
7068
706913. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
7070 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
7071
707214. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
7073 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
7074
707515. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
7076 received was valid base64.
7077
707816. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
7079 name of the variable that was being set.
7080
708117. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
7082
708318. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
7084 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
7085 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
7086 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
7087 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
7088 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
7089
709019. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
7091
709220. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
7093 nor realm was specified.
7094
709521. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
7096 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
7097 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
7098 errors are given to SMTP connections.
7099
710022. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
7101 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
7102 failing to send a response to QUIT.
7103
710423. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
7105 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
7106 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
7107
710824. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
7109 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
7110 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
7111 some systems use these upper case variants.
7112
711325. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
7114 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
7115 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
7116 socket" when it tried to send the third.
7117
711826. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
7119
712027. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
7121 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
7122
712328. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
7124 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
7125 expansion variable.
7126
712729. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
7128
712930. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
7130 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
7131 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
7132 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
7133
713431. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
7135 using it.
7136
713732. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
7138 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
7139 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
7140
714133. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
7142 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
7143
714434. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
7145 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
7146 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
7147 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
7148
714935. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
7150 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
7151 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
7152
715336. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
7154
715537. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
7156 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
7157 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
7158 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
7159 aborted.
7160
716138. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
7162 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
7163 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
7164
716539. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
7166
716740. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
7168 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
7169
717041. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
7171 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
7172
717342. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
7174 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
7175 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
7176 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
7177 when emails are that large.
7178
7179
7180
7181Exim version 4.22
7182-----------------
7183
7184 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
7185 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
7186
7187 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
7188 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
7189 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
7190
7191 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7192 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7193 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7194
7195 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7196 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7197 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7198 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7199 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7200
7201 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7202 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7203 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7204 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7205 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7206 ever.
7207
7208 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7209 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7210 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7211 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7212 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7213 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7214 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7215 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7216 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7217 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7218 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7219 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7220 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7221 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7222
7223 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7224 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7225 parameterised it.
7226
7227 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7228 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7229 error should be diagnosed.
7230
7231 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7232 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7233 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7234 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7235 appeared instead of "NULL".
7236
723710. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7238 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7239 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7240 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7241 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7242 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7243 proceeds).
7244
7245 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7246 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7247 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7248
7249
7250Exim version 4.21
7251-----------------
7252
7253 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7254 or receiver verification errors.
7255
7256 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7257 name.
7258
7259 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7260 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7261 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7262 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7263
7264 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7265 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7266 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7267 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7268 shouldn't happen again.
7269
7270 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7271 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7272 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7273
7274 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7275 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7276
7277 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7278
7279 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7280 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7281
7282 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7283 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7284 RFC.
7285
728610. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7287 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7288 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7289
729011. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7291 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7292 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7293 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7294
729512. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7296 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7297 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7298 to define what should happen).
7299
730013. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7301 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7302 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7303
730414. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7305
730615. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7307
730816. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7309 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7310
4c04137d 731117. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7312 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7313 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7314 structure in all cases.
7315
7316 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7317 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7318 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7319 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7320
732118. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7322 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7323 domain name.
7324
732519. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7326 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7327
732820. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7329 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7330
733121. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7332 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7333 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7334
733522. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7336 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7337 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7338
733923. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7340 the book and for uniformity.
7341
734224. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7343
734425. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7345 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7346 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7347 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7348 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7349 non-existent command as the problem.
7350
735126. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7352 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7353 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7354
735527. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7356
735728. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7358 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7359 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7360
736129. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7362 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7363 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7364 timestamps using strftime().
7365
736630. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7367 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7368
736932. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7370 transport-time rewrites.
7371
737233. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7373 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7374 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7375 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7376
737734. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7378 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7379
738035. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7381 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7382 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7383 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7384 comma and a space.
7385
738636. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7387 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7388 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7389 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7390 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7391 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7392 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7393
739437. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7395 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7396 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7397 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7398 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7399
740038. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7401 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7402 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7403 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7404 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7405 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7406 remaining text gets split now.
7407
740839. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7409 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7410 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7411 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7412
741340. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7414 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7415 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7416 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7417 $return_path.
7418
741941. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7420 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7421 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7422 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7423 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7424 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7425 passed through if needed.
7426
742742. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7428 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7429 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7430 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7431 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7432 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7433
743443. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7435 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7436 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7437 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7438 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7439
744044. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7441 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7442 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7443 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7444 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7445
744645. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7447 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7448 noticed.
7449
745046. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7451 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7452 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7453 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7454 mayhem of various kinds.
7455
745647. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7457 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7458 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7459 the right test for positive values.
7460
746148. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7462 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7463 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7464 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7465 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7466 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7467 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7468 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7469 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7470 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7471 envelope.
7472
747349. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7474 module.
7475
747650. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7477 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7478 forbidding it.
7479
748051. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7481 the existing equality matching.
7482
748352. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7484 dealing with inode numbers.
7485
748653. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7487 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7488 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7489
749054. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7491 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7492 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7493 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7494 local_scan().
7495
749655. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7497 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7498 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7499 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7500 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7501 relay addresses has also been removed.
7502
750356. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7504
750557. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7506 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7507 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7508
750958. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7510 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7511 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7512 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7513 processing applies to CR:
7514
7515 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7516 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7517
7518 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7519 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7520 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7521 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7522
752359. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7524 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7525 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7526
752760. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7528 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7529 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7530 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7531 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7532 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7533 arisen.
7534
753561. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7536 program routers.
7537
753862. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7539 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7540 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7541 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7542 adds:
7543
7544 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7545
7546 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7547
7548 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7549
755063. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7551 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7552 not considered personal.
7553
755464. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7555
755665. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7557
755866. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7559
756067. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7561 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7562 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7563 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7564 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7565 header lines, and spool format errors.
7566
756768. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7568 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7569 for more flexibility.
7570
757169. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7572 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7573 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7574
757570. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7576 Sabourenkov.
7577
757871. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7579 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7580 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7581 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7582 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7583 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7584 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7585 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7586 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7587
758872. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7589 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7590 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7591 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7592 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7593 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7594 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.

759673. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7597 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7598 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7599
760074. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7601 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7602 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7603 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7604 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7605 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7606 instead of killing the process with assert().
7607
760875. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7609 than Unicode encoding.
7610
761176. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7612 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7613 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7614 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7615
761677. Added process_log_path.
7617
761878. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7619 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7620
762179. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7622 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7623
762480. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7625 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7626 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7627
762881. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7629 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7630 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7631 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7632 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7633 were applied:
7634
7635 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7636 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7637 as invalid.
7638
763982. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7640 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7641 they will be used during message reception.
