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.

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
31 "exiwhat" output.

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.

JH
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.

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.

171JH/12 Bug 2018: Re-order Proxy Protocol startup versus TLS-on-connect startup.
172 It seems that HAProxy sends the Proxy Protocol information in clear and
173 only then does a TLS startup, so do the same.
174
175JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
176 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
177 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
178 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
179 requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used
180 by non-daemon-related Exim processes.
181
182JH/14 Bug 2000: Reject messages recieved with CHUNKING but with malformed line
183 endings, at least on the first header line. Try to canonify any that get

JH
241JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
242 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
243 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
244 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
245 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
246 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
247 if one fails this test.
248 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
249 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

271JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when
272 a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection.
273 This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough
274 connection after a verify cache hit.

811
812 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
813 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
814 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
815 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
816 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
817 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

1063TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1064
1065 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1066 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1067 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1068 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1069 the retry rules.
1070
1071 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1072 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1073 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1074
1075 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1076 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1077 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1078 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1079
1ddeb334
TF
1080 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1081 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1082 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1083 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1084 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1085 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1086 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1087
1088 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1089 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1411TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1412 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1413 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1414
1415 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1416 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1417 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1418 not safe for signals.
1419
1420 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1421 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1422 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1423 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1424 exiwhat.
1425
c99ce5c9
TF
1426TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1427
1428 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1429 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1430 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1431 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1432 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1433
1434 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1435 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1436 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1437 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1438 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1439 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1440
1441 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1442 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1443 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1444 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1445
1446 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1447 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1448 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1449 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1450
1451 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1452 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1453 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1454 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1455 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1456 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1457 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1458 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1459 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1460
1461 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1462 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1463 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1464 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1465
1466 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1467 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1468 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1469 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1470 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1471 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1472 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1473 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1474 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1475 details in the main documentation.

1557 cause arbitrary Exim lookups (of items which can occur in lists, *not*
1558 arbitrary string expansion). This allowed for information disclosure.

2026 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2046
2047PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2048
6a3bceb1
PH
2049PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2050 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2051 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2052 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2053 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2054 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2055 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2056 for iplsearch lookups.
2057
2058 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2059 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2060 previously such lookups could never work.
2061
4c04137d 2062 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2063 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2064 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2069MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2070 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2071 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2072 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2073 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2074 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2079MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2080 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2081 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2082 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2083 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2084 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2161 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2162 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,

2267PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2268 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2270 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2271 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2272 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2273 pipelining has not been advertised.

2288 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2289 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

2319PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of

2321 behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
2322 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
2323 calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
2324 uses the Exim user.

2326PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a

2328 sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
2329 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
2330 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
2331 intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their
2332 users.

PH
2347 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2348 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2349 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2350 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2351 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2352 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2353 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2354 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2362Exim version 4.66
2363-----------------
2364
2365PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2366 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2367
2368 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2369 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2370
2371 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2372 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2373 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2374
2375 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2376 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2377 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2378 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2379 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2393PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)

2395 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2396 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2397 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2398 rather than extend the field.

2404TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
2405 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).

2414TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used

2b1c6e3a
PH
2423PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2424 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2425 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2426 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2427 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2428 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2429 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2430 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2431 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2432 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2433 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2469 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2470 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2471 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2472 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2473 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2474 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2477 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2478 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2479 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2480 function.
2481 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2482 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2483 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2484 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2485 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2486 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2487 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2488 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2489 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2495 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2496 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2497 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2498 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2499 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2500 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2501 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

322050c2
PH
2507PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2508 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2509 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2510 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2511 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2512 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2513 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2514 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2515 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2516 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2517 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2518 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2519 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2522 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2523 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2524 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2525 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2526 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2527 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2529PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2530 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2531 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2532 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2533 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2534 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2535 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2536 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2537 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2538 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
2540PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2541 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2542 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2543 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2544 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2546PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2547 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2548 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2549 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2550 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2551 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2552 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2557 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2558 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2559 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2560 been verified.

PH
2591
2592PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2593 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2594 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2595 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2596 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2597 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2598 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2599 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2600 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2601
2602 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2603 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2604 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2605 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2606 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2607 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2608 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2609 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2610 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2611
2612 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2613 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2614 hammering the server.

48c7f9e2
PH
2635PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2636 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2637 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2638 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2639 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2

2640 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2641 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now

2912PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
2913 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
2914 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2915 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2916 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2917 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2918 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2919 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2920 451 error is used.

2942PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash

2945 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
2946 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an

2954-----------------

2956PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2957 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2958 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2959 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2960 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2961 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2962 addresses as local.

3003 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3004 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3005 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3006 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3007 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a

3039PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3040 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3041 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3042 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3043 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3044 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3045 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3046 values from the SRV records were lost.

ea49d0e1
PH
3048PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

3055
727071f8
PH
3056PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3057 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3058 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3059 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3060 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3061 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3062 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3063 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3064 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

3095 the IP address matched host_lookup and the reverse lookup yielded a name
3096 that did not have a forward lookup, an error message of the form "no IP
3097 address found for host xxx.xxx.xxx (during SMTP connection from NULL)"

3103 documented for local_scan(), the new function should be too.

3132PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the

3134 sorting DNS records because real resolvers return them in an arbitrary

3136 same order.

PH
3161PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3162 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3163 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3164 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3165 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3166 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3167 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3168 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3169 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3170 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3178PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
3179 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
3180 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
3181 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3182 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3183 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
3184 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
3185 the variable.

3196PH/50 When an Exim quota was set without a file count quota, and mailbox_size
3197 was also set, the appendfile transport was unnecessarily scanning a
3198 directory of message files (e.g. for maildir delivery) to find the count
3199 of files (along with the size), even though it did not need this
3200 information. It now does the scan only if it needs to find either the
3201 size of the count of files.

3205PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3206 used in LMTP mode:
3207
3208 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3209 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3210 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3211 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3212
3213 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3214 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3215 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3216
3217PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3218 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3219 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3220 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3221 well as "retry timeout exceeded".
