4Exim version 4.88
5-----------------

JH
6JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination
7 supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one).
8d042305 8
03d5892b
JH
9JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten
10 years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs
11 acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime.
12
4b0fe319
JH
13JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
14 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
15 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
16 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
17 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
18 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
19 if one fails this test.
20 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
21 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

23JH/04 Bug 1810: make continued-use of an open smtp transport connection
24 non-noisy when a race steals the message being considered.

26JH/05 If main configuration option tls_certificate is unset, generate a
27 selfsigned certificate for inbound TLS connections.
28
0bd1b1ed 29JH/06 Bug 165: hide more cases of password exposure - this time in expansions
f42deca9 30 in rewrites and routers.

20b9a2dc
JH
32JH/07 Retire gnutls_require_mac et.al. These were nonfunctional since 4.80
33 and logged a warning sing 4.83; now they are a configuration file error.
34

JH
35JH/08 Bug 1836: Fix crash in VRFY handling when handed an unqualified name
36 (lacking @domain). Apply the same qualification processing as RCPT.
37

JH
38JH/09 Bug 1804: Avoid writing msglog files when in -bh or -bhc mode.
39
cfab9d68
JH
40JH/10 Support ${sha256:} applied to a string (as well as the previous
41 certificate).
42
98c82a3d
JH
43JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when
44 a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection.
45 This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough
46 connection after a verify cache hit.
47 Do not update it with the verify result either.
48
49JH/12 Cutthrough: disable when verify option success_on_redirect is used, and
50 when routing results in more than one destination address.
51
ae8386f0
JH
52JH/13 Cutthrough: expand transport dkim_domain option when testing for dkim
53 signing (which inhibits the cutthrough capability). Previously only
54 the presence of an option was tested; now an expansion evaluating as
55 empty is permissible (obviously it should depend only on data available
56 when the cutthrough connection is made).
57
0d9fa8c0
JH
58JH/14 Fix logging of errors under PIPELINING. Previously the log line giving
59 the relevant preceding SMTP command did not note the pipelining mode.

62Exim version 4.87
63-----------------
82d14d6a
JH
64JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16
65 and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request
66 it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
67 client dropping the TLS connection.
0d9b78be 68
6c6d6e48
TF
69TF/01 Code cleanup: Overhaul the debug_selector and log_selector machinery to
70 support variable-length bit vectors. No functional change.
71
ac881e27
TF
72TF/02 Improve the consistency of logging incoming and outgoing interfaces.
73 The I= interface field on outgoing lines is now after the H= remote
74 host field, same as incoming lines. There is a separate
75 outgoing_interface log selector which allows you to disable the
76 outgoing I= field.
77
c8899c20
JH
78JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
79 If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
80 open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
81 deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
82 leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
83 check on the next write.
84

HSHR
85HS/01 Bug 1671: Fix post transport crash.
86 Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
87 process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
88 using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
89 file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.
90

JH
91JH/03 Bug 425: Capture substrings in $regex1, $regex2 etc from regex &
92 mime_regex ACL conditions.
93

JH
94JH/04 Bug 1686: When compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO: Add extra information
95 to DSN fail messages (bounces): remote IP, remote greeting, remote response
96 to HELO, local diagnostic string.
97
805bb5c3
JH
98JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from
99 log line to debug. Even when configured with a tls authenticator many
100 client connections are expected to not authenticate in this way, so
101 an authenticate fail is not an error.
102
56c2a7be
HSHR
103HS/02 Add the Exim version string to the process info. This way exiwhat
104 gives some more detail about the running daemon.
105

JH
106JH/06 Bug 1395: time-limit cacheing of DNS lookups, to the TTL value. This may
107 matter for fast-change records such as DNSBLs.
108
6f6dedcc
JH
109JH/07 Bug 1678: Always record an interface option value, if set, as part of a
110 retry record, even if constant. There may be multiple transports with
111 different interface settings and the retry behaviour needs to be kept
112 distinct.
113

JH
114JH/08 Bug 1586: exiqgrep now refuses to run if there are unexpected arguments.
115

119

JH
120JH/11 Bug 830: use same host for all RCPTS of a message, even under
121 hosts_randomize. This matters a lot when combined with mua_wrapper.
122
98b98887 123JH/12 Bug 1706: percent and underbar characters are no longer escaped by the
376d2ec0
JH
124 ${quote_pgsql:<string>} operator.
125
98b98887
JH
126JH/13 Bug 1708: avoid misaligned access in cached lookup.
127
858e91c2
JH
128JH/14 Change header file name for freeradius-client. Relevant if compiling
129 with Radius support; from the Gentoo tree and checked under Fedora.
130
131JH/15 Bug 1712: Introduce $prdr_requested flag variable
132
6ff55e50
JH
133JH/16 Bug 1714: Permit an empty string as expansion result for transport
134 option transport_filter, meaning no filtering.

JB
136JH/17 Bug 1713: Fix non-PDKIM_DEBUG build. Patch from Jasen Betts.
137
23f3dc67
JH
138JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
139 defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built
140 with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testuite sane.
141 If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
142 logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably
143 they will retry in-clear.
144 Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
145 at installation time.
146
240c288f
JH
147HS/03 Add -bP config_file as a synonym for -bP configure_file, for consistency
148 with the $config_file variable.
149
5ef5dd52
JB
150JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
151 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
152 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
153 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
154 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx reponse.
155
e161710d
GF
156GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
157 to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
158 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
159 installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
160 result is that the running daemon panics and dies.
161

JH
162JH/20 Bug 1701: For MySQL lookups, support MySQL config file option group names.
163
7f06582c
JH
164JH/21 Bug 1720: Add support for priority groups and weighted-random proxy
165 selection for the EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS feature, via new per-proxy options
166 "pri" and "weight". Note that the previous implicit priority given by the
167 list order is no longer honoured.

175JH/26 Move PROXY support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
176 by defining SUPPORT_PROXY. Note that the proxy_required_hosts option
e6d2a989
JH
177 is renamed to hosts_proxy, and the proxy_{host,target}_{address,port}.
178 variables are renamed to proxy_{local,external}_{address,port}.

184 of the query string, and make ${quote_redis:} do that quoting.

194JH/32 Move Redis support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
195 by defining LOOKUP_REDIS. The libhiredis library is required.
196

JH
197JH/33 Bug 1748: Permit ACL dnslists= condition in non-smtp ACLs if explicit
198 keys are given for lookup.
199
f444c2c7
JH
200JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM
201 support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones. This means DKIM is
07c73177
JH
202 only supported when built with TLS support. The PolarSSL SHA routines
203 are still used when the TLS library is too old for convenient support.
f444c2c7 204
a57b6200
JH
205JH/35 Require SINGLE_DH_USE by default in OpenSSL (main config option
206 openssl_options), for security. OpenSSL forces this from version 1.1.0
207 server-side so match that on older versions.
208
07c73177 209JH/36 Bug 1778: longstanding bug in memory use by the ${run } expansion: A fresh
fa01e4f8 210 allocation for $value could be released as the expansion processing
07c73177 211 concluded, but leaving the global pointer active for it.
fa01e4f8 212
4f6ae5c3
JH
213JH/37 Bug 1769: Permit a VRFY ACL to override the default 252 response,
214 and to use the domains and local_parts ACL conditions.
215
1bc460a6
JH
216JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was
217 incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a
218 body-termination at the receiving system - resulting in truncated mails.
62ac2eb7 219 Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message
1bc460a6
JH
220 via the normal store-and-forward channel. This could result in duplicates
221 received - but deduplicating mailstores were liable to retain only the
222 initial truncated version.
223

235JH/43 Tidy coding issues detected by gcc --fsanitize=undefined. Some remain;
236 either intentional arithmetic overflow during PRNG, or testing config-
237 induced overflows.

239JH/44 Bug 1800: The combination of a -bhc commandline option and cutthrough
240 delivery resulted in actual delivery. Cancel cutthrough before DATA
241 stage.
242

243JH/45 Fix cutthrough, when connection not opened by verify and target hard-
244 rejects a recipient: pass the reject to the originator.
245
dc8091e7
JH
246JH/46 Multiple issues raised by Coverity. Some were obvious or plausible bugs.
247 Many were false-positives and ignorable, but it's worth fixing the
248 former class.
249
dfe7d917
JH
250JH/47 Fix build on HP-UX and older Solaris, which need (un)setenv now also
251 for the new environment-manipulation done at startup. Move the routines
252 from being local to tls.c to being global via the os.c file.
253
93cc2d6e
JH
254JH/48 Bug 1807: Fix ${extract } for the numeric/3-string case. While preparsing
255 an extract embedded as result-arg for a map, the first arg for extract
256 is unavailable so we cannot tell if this is a numbered or keyed
257 extraction. Accept either.

269 it.
270
01a4a5c5 271JH/04 Certificate name checking on server certificates, when exim is a client,
b3ef41c9 272 is now done by default. The transport option tls_verify_cert_hostnames
01a4a5c5
JH
273 can be used to disable this per-host. The build option
274 EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES is withdrawn.

JH
278 For GnuTLS, only version 3.0.20 or later.
279
610ff438 280JH/06 Verification of the server certificate for a TLS connection is now tried
6d580f19

281 (but not required) by default. The verification status is now logged by
282 default, for both outbound TLS and client-certificate supplying inbound
283 TLS connections
610ff438 284

JH
288JH/08 The EXPERIMENTAL_DSN compile option is no longer needed; all Delivery
289 Status Notification (bounce) messages are now MIME format per RFC 3464.
290 Support for RFC 3461 DSN options NOTIFY,ENVID,RET,ORCPT can be advertised
291 under the control of the dsn_advertise_hosts option, and routers may
292 have a dsn_lasthop option.
293

294JH/09 A timeout of 2 minutes is now applied to all malware scanner types by
295 default, modifiable by a malware= option. The list separator for

356 Normally benign, it bites when the pair was led to by a CNAME;

383Exim version 4.85
384-----------------
385TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
386 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
387 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
388 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
389 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
390 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
391 the script parsing/test process like normal.

748TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
749
750 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
751 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
752 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
753 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
754 the retry rules.
755
756 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
757 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
758 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
759
760 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
761 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
762 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
763 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
764
1ddeb334
TF
765 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
766 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
767 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
768 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
769 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
770 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
771 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
772
773 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
774 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

808JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
809 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
810 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
811 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
812 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
813 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
814 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
815 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
816 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
817 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
818 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

1097 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1098 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1099
1100 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1101 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1102 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1103 not safe for signals.
1104
1105 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1106 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1107 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1108 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1109 exiwhat.

TF
1111TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1112
1113 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1114 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1115 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1116 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
1117 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
1118
1119 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1120 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1121 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1122 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1123 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1124 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1125
1126 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1127 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1128 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1129 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1130
1131 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1132 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1133 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1134 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1135
1136 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1137 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1138 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1139 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1140 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1141 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1142 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1143 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1144 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1145
1146 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1147 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1148 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1149 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1150
1151 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1152 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1153 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1154 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1155 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1156 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1157 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1158 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1159 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1160 details in the main documentation.

1711 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1730-----------------
1731
1732PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1733
6a3bceb1
PH
1734PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1735 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1736 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1737 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1738 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1739 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1740 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1741 for iplsearch lookups.
1742
1743 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1744 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1745 previously such lookups could never work.
1746
1747 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1748 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1749 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1754MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1755 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1756 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1757 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1758 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1759 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1764MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1765 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1766 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1767 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1768 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1769 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1846 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than

1952PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1953 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
1954 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
1955 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1956 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1957 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1958 pipelining has not been advertised.

1973 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
1974 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

2035 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2036 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2037 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read

2050PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2051 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2052
2053 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2054 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2055
2056 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2057 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2058 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2059
2060 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2061 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2062 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2063 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2064 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

PH
2108PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2109 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2110 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2111 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2112 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2113 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2114 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2115 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2116 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2117 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2118 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2154 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2155 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2156 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2157 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2158 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host

14aa5a05
PH
2163 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2164 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2165 function.
2166 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2167 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2168 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2169 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2170 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2171 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2172 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2173 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2174 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2181 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2182 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2183 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2184 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2185 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2186 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
2192PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2193 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2194 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2195 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2196 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2197 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2198 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2199 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2200 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2201 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2202 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2203 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2204 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2207 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2208 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2209 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2210 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2211 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2212 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2214PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2215 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2216 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2217 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2218 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2219 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2220 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2221 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2222 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2223 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

2225PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2231PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a

2234 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2235 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad

2276
2277PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2278 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2279 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2280 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2281 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2282 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2283 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2284 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2285 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2286
2287 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2288 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2289 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2290 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2291 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2292 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2293 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2294 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2295 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2296
2297 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2298 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2299 hammering the server.

2314PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2315 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

2317 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2318 fails.

48c7f9e2
PH
2320PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2321 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2322 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2323 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
2324 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
2325 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2326 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2327 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2328 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2329 smtp transport.

2597PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".

2599 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2600 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2601 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2602 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2603 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2604 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2605 451 error is used.

2645 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was

2690 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2725 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2726 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2727 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2728 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2729 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2730 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2731 values from the SRV records were lost.

2733PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

2737PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from

PH
2741PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2742 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2743 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2744 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2745 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2746 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2747 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2748 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2749 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2846PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2847 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2848 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2849 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2850 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2851 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2852 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2853 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2854 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2855 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

2867 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
2868 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the

2892
2893 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2894 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2895 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2896 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2897
2898 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2899 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2900 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2901
2902PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2903 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2904 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2905 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

2976PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2977 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2978 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2979 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2980 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2981 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2982 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2983 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2984 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2985 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2986 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3047
3048 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])

3127 extension "envelope-auth". The code is finished and in agreement with
3128 other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact,
3129 nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
3130 not changing the active code.
3131
3132 Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This
3133 helps a great deal to understand what a filter does.
3134
3135 Document more things not specified clearly in RFC3028. I had all this
3136 sorted out, when out of a sudden new issues came to my mind. Oops."

PH
3141PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3142 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3143 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3144 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3145 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3146 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3147 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3148 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3149 the text comparison.
3150

PH
3151PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
3152 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
3153 form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
3154 The same fix has been applied.

3169PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-"
3170 header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929.
3171 Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as
3172 non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated
3173 anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.)

3175TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax
3176 errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option

3178 but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain

3196PH/03 When creating an mbox file for a virus/spam scan, use fseek() instead of

3228PH/12 There was a missing call to search_tidyup() before the fork() in rda.c to
3229 run a filter in a subprocess. This could lead to confusion in subsequent
3230 lookups in the parent process. There should also be a search_tidyup() at
3231 the end of the subprocess.

PH
3233PH/13 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true
3234 only if the host matched helo_try_verify_hosts, which caused the
3235 verification to occur when the EHLO/HELO command was issued. The ACL just
3236 tested the remembered result. Now, if a previous verification attempt has
3237 not happened, "verify = helo" does it there and then.

3266PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius
3267 authentication with radiusclient 0.4.9:
3268
3269 - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
3270 - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.
3271
3272 The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17
3273 were not taken care of correctly. The code is still untested by me (my
3274 Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of radiusclient), but it was
3275 contributed by a Radius user.

3290PH/26 Exim was recognizing IPv6 addresses of the form [IPv6:....] in EHLO

3297PH/28 Exim tries to create and chdir to its spool directory when it starts;

3321 script (though there are many overriding facilities there). I have
3322 arranged that the exim_install script now takes note of these two
3323 settings.
