9-----------------
10
11JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
12 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
13 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
14 pairs of long lines into single ones.

16PP/01 Allow PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set in Local/Makefile and use it correctly
17 during configuration. Wildcards are allowed and expanded.

19JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.
20 This permits better logging.
21
875512a3
JH
22JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
23 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
24 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
25 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
26 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 27 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

30 identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect

37JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger
38 than 255 are no longer allowed.
39

JH
40JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
41 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
42 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
43 client, there is no benefit for these.
44 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
45 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
46 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
47 is used (3.2.4 +).

JH
52JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously
53 the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and
54 erroneously found still-pending ones.
55

JH
56JH/08 Pipeline CHUNKING command and data together, on kernels that support
57 MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections).
58
42055a33
JH
59JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a
60 transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for
61 creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
62 signature and again for transmission.
63
eeb35890
JH
64JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in
65 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit
7d758a6a 66 mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also.

68JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
69 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
70 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
71 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
72 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
73 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
74 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
75
40525d07
JH
76JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
77 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
78 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 79 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
40525d07 80
f33875c3
PP
81PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
82 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
83 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
84 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
85 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
86 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
87 processing options.
88
a5ffa9b4
JH
89JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
90 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
91 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
92 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
93 connections.

PP
95PP/05 OpenSSL/1.1: use DH_bits() for more accurate DH param sizes. This
96 affects you only if you're dancing at the edge of the param size limits.
97 If you are, and this message makes sense to you, then: raise the
98 configured limit or use OpenSSL 1.1. Nothing we can do for older
99 versions.

195JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
196 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
197 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
198 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
199 requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used
200 by non-daemon-related Exim processes.

JH
261JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
262 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
263 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
264 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
265 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
266 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
267 if one fails this test.
268 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
269 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

400 it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
401 client dropping the TLS connection.

1083TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1084
1085 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1086 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1087 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1088 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1089 the retry rules.
1090
1091 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1092 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1093 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1094
1095 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1096 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1097 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1098 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1099
1ddeb334
TF
1100 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1101 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1102 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1103 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1104 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1105 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1106 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1107
1108 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1109 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1431TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1432 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1433 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1434
1435 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1436 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1437 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1438 not safe for signals.
1439
1440 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1441 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1442 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1443 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1444 exiwhat.
1445
c99ce5c9
TF
1446TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1447
1448 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1449 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1450 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1451 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1452 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1453
1454 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1455 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1456 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1457 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1458 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1459 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1460
1461 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1462 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1463 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1464 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1465
1466 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1467 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1468 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1469 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1470
1471 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1472 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1473 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1474 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1475 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1476 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1477 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1478 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1479 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1480
1481 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1482 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1483 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1484 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1485
1486 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1487 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1488 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1489 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1490 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1491 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1492 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1493 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1494 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1495 details in the main documentation.

2066
2067PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2068
6a3bceb1
PH
2069PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2070 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2071 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2072 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2073 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2074 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2075 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2076 for iplsearch lookups.
2077
2078 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2079 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2080 previously such lookups could never work.
2081
4c04137d 2082 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2083 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2084 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2089MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2090 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2091 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2092 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2093 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2094 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
2099MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2100 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2101 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2102 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2103 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2104 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2181 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than

2287PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2288 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2290 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2291 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2292 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when

2367 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2368 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2369 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2370 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2371 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2372 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2373 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim

2385PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2386 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2387
2388 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2389 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2390
2391 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2392 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2393 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2394
2395 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2396 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2397 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2398 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2399 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2416 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

PH
2443PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2444 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2445 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2446 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2447 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2448 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2449 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2450 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2451 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2452 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2453 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2489 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2490 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2491 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2492 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2493 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host

14aa5a05
PH
2498 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2499 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2500 function.
2501 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2502 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2503 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2504 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2505 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2506 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2507 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2508 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2509 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2516 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2517 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2518 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2519 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2520 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2521 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
2527PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2528 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2529 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2530 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2531 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2532 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2533 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2534 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2535 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2536 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2537 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2538 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2539 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2542 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2543 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2544 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2545 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2546 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2547 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2549PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2550 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2551 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2552 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2553 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2554 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2555 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2556 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2557 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2558 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

2560PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

PH
2566PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2567 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2568 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2569 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2570 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2571 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the

2578 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2579 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has

PH
2611
2612PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2613 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2614 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2615 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2616 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2617 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2618 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2619 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2620 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2621
2622 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2623 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2624 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2625 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2626 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2627 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2628 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2629 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2630 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2631
2632 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2633 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2634 hammering the server.

48c7f9e2
PH
2655PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue

2657 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2658 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2659 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting

2660 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2661 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now

2932PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".

2934 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2935 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2936 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2937 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2938 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2939 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2940 451 error is used.

2979 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2980 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was

3025 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

3061 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3062 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3063 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3064 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3065 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3066 values from the SRV records were lost.

3075
727071f8
PH
3076PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3077 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3078 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3079 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3080 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3081 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3082 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3083 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3084 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

3087PH/20 Added $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 to contain authentication data (as well as
3088 $1, $2, $3) because the numerical variables can be reset during some
3089 expansion items (e.g. "match"), thereby losing the authentication data.

3094PH/22 Test the values given for quota, quota_filecount, quota_warn_threshold,
3095 mailbox_size, and mailbox_filecount in the appendfile transport. If a
3096 filecount value is greater than 2G or if a quota value is greater than 2G
3097 on a system where the size of off_t is not greater than 4, a panic error
3098 is given.

3100PH/23 When a malformed item such as 1.2.3/24 appears in a host list, it can
3101 never match. The debug and -bh output now contains an explicit error
3102 message indicating a malformed IPv4 address or mask.
3103
3104PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address
3105 1.2.3.4 without a mask. Now it is not recognized as an IP address, and
3106 PH/23 above applies.

3114PH/27 If a host name lookup failed very early in a connection, for example, if
3115 the IP address matched host_lookup and the reverse lookup yielded a name
3116 that did not have a forward lookup, an error message of the form "no IP
3117 address found for host xxx.xxx.xxx (during SMTP connection from NULL)"
3118 could be logged. Now it outputs the IP address instead of "NULL".

3120PH/28 An enabling patch from MH: add new function child_open_exim2() which
3121 allows the sender and the authenticated sender to be set when
3122 submitting a message from within Exim. Since child_open_exim() is
3123 documented for local_scan(), the new function should be too.

3133PH/32 In November 2003, the code in Exim that added an empty Bcc: header when

PH
3137PH/33 When a queue run was abandoned because the load average was too high, a
3138 log line was always written; now it is written only if the queue_run log
3139 selector is set. In addition, the log line for abandonment now contains
3140 information about the queue run such as the pid. This is always present
3141 in "start" and "stop" lines but was omitted from the "abandon" line.

PH
3147PH/35 Change the default for dns_check_names_pattern to allow slashes within
3148 names, as there are now some PTR records that contain slashes. This check
3149 is only to protect against broken name servers that fall over on strange
3150 characters, so the fact that it applies to all lookups doesn't matter.

PH
3152PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the
3153 special code in Exim that was needed for the old test suite. For example,
3154 sorting DNS records because real resolvers return them in an arbitrary
3155 order. The new test suite's fake resolver always returns records in the
3156 same order.
3157
3158PH/37 When running in the test harness, use -odi for submitted messages (e.g.
3159 bounces) except when queue_only is set, to avoid logging races between
3160 the different processes.

PH
3181PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3182 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3183 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3184 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3185 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3186 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3187 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3188 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3189 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3190 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3192PH/43 If retry_interval_max is set greater than 24 hours, it is quietly reset

PH
3198PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
3199 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
3200 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
3201 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3202 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3203 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
3204 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
3205 the variable.

PH
3216PH/50 When an Exim quota was set without a file count quota, and mailbox_size
3217 was also set, the appendfile transport was unnecessarily scanning a
3218 directory of message files (e.g. for maildir delivery) to find the count
3219 of files (along with the size), even though it did not need this
3220 information. It now does the scan only if it needs to find either the
3221 size of the count of files.

PH
3225PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3226 used in LMTP mode:
3227
3228 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3229 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3230 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3231 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3232
3233 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3234 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3235 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3236
3237PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3238 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3239 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3240 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3241 well as "retry timeout exceeded".
