JH
7JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16
8 and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request
9 it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
10 client dropping the TLS connection.

TF
12TF/01 Code cleanup: Overhaul the debug_selector and log_selector machinery to
13 support variable-length bit vectors. No functional change.
14

TF
15TF/02 Improve the consistency of logging incoming and outgoing interfaces.
16 The I= interface field on outgoing lines is now after the H= remote
17 host field, same as incoming lines. There is a separate
18 outgoing_interface log selector which allows you to disable the
19 outgoing I= field.

JH
21JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
22 If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
23 open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
24 deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
25 leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
26 check on the next write.

28HS/01 Bug 1671: Fix post transport crash.
29 Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
30 process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
31 using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
32 file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.

JH
34JH/03 Bug 425: Capture substrings in $regex1, $regex2 etc from regex &
35 mime_regex ACL conditions.

JH
37JH/04 Bug 1686: When compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO: Add extra information
38 to DSN fail messages (bounces): remote IP, remote greeting, remote response
39 to HELO, local diagnostic string.
40
805bb5c3
JH
41JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from
42 log line to debug. Even when configured with a tls authenticator many
43 client connections are expected to not authenticate in this way, so
44 an authenticate fail is not an error.

46HS/02 Add the Exim version string to the process info. This way exiwhat
47 gives some more detail about the running daemon.

JH
49JH/06 Bug 1395: time-limit cacheing of DNS lookups, to the TTL value. This may
50 matter for fast-change records such as DNSBLs.
51
6f6dedcc
JH
52JH/07 Bug 1678: Always record an interface option value, if set, as part of a
53 retry record, even if constant. There may be multiple transports with
54 different interface settings and the retry behaviour needs to be kept
55 distinct.

57JH/08 Bug 1586: exiqgrep now refuses to run if there are unexpected arguments.

62

JH
63JH/11 Bug 830: use same host for all RCPTS of a message, even under
64 hosts_randomize. This matters a lot when combined with mua_wrapper.
65
98b98887 66JH/12 Bug 1706: percent and underbar characters are no longer escaped by the
376d2ec0
JH
67 ${quote_pgsql:<string>} operator.
68

JH
69JH/13 Bug 1708: avoid misaligned access in cached lookup.

JH
71JH/14 Change header file name for freeradius-client. Relevant if compiling
72 with Radius support; from the Gentoo tree and checked under Fedora.
73
74JH/15 Bug 1712: Introduce $prdr_requested flag variable
75
6ff55e50
JH
76JH/16 Bug 1714: Permit an empty string as expansion result for transport
77 option transport_filter, meaning no filtering.

79JH/17 Bug 1713: Fix non-PDKIM_DEBUG build. Patch from Jasen Betts.
80
23f3dc67
JH
81JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
82 defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built
83 with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testuite sane.
84 If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
85 logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably
86 they will retry in-clear.
87 Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
88 at installation time.
89
240c288f
JH
90HS/03 Add -bP config_file as a synonym for -bP configure_file, for consistency
91 with the $config_file variable.
92
5ef5dd52
JB
93JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
94 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
95 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
96 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
97 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx reponse.
98

GF
99GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
100 to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
101 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
102 installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
103 result is that the running daemon panics and dies.
104

JH
105JH/20 Bug 1701: For MySQL lookups, support MySQL config file option group names.
106
7f06582c
JH
107JH/21 Bug 1720: Add support for priority groups and weighted-random proxy
108 selection for the EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS feature, via new per-proxy options
109 "pri" and "weight". Note that the previous implicit priority given by the
110 list order is no longer honoured.

113 for DKIM processing.

115JH/23 Move SOCKS5 support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
116 by defining SUPPORT_SOCKS.
74f150bf 117
cee5f132
JH
118JH/26 Move PROXY support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
119 by defining SUPPORT_PROXY. Note that the proxy_required_hosts option
e6d2a989
JH
120 is renamed to hosts_proxy, and the proxy_{host,target}_{address,port}.
121 variables are renamed to proxy_{local,external}_{address,port}.

JH
140JH/33 Bug 1748: Permit ACL dnslists= condition in non-smtp ACLs if explicit
141 keys are given for lookup.
142
f444c2c7
JH
143JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM
144 support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones. This means DKIM is
07c73177
JH
145 only supported when built with TLS support. The PolarSSL SHA routines
146 are still used when the TLS library is too old for convenient support.
f444c2c7 147
a57b6200
JH
148JH/35 Require SINGLE_DH_USE by default in OpenSSL (main config option
149 openssl_options), for security. OpenSSL forces this from version 1.1.0
150 server-side so match that on older versions.
151
07c73177 152JH/36 Bug 1778: longstanding bug in memory use by the ${run } expansion: A fresh
fa01e4f8 153 allocation for $value could be released as the expansion processing
07c73177 154 concluded, but leaving the global pointer active for it.
fa01e4f8 155
4f6ae5c3
JH
156JH/37 Bug 1769: Permit a VRFY ACL to override the default 252 response,
157 and to use the domains and local_parts ACL conditions.
158
1bc460a6
JH
159JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was
160 incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a
161 body-termination at the receiving system - resulting in truncated mails.
62ac2eb7 162 Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message
1bc460a6
JH
163 via the normal store-and-forward channel. This could result in duplicates
164 received - but deduplicating mailstores were liable to retain only the
165 initial truncated version.
166
ab9152ff 167JH/39 Bug 1781: Fix use of DKIM private-keys having trailing '=' in the base-64.

13559da6
JH
178JH/43 Tidy coding issues detected by gcc --fsanitize=undefined. Some remain;
179 either intentional arithmetic overflow during PRNG, or testing config-
180 induced overflows.

182JH/44 Bug 1800: The combination of a -bhc commandline option and cutthrough
183 delivery resulted in actual delivery. Cancel cutthrough before DATA
184 stage.

196JH/02 The smtp transport option "multi_domain" is now expanded.
197
ad07e9ad

199 it.
200
01a4a5c5 201JH/04 Certificate name checking on server certificates, when exim is a client,
b3ef41c9 202 is now done by default. The transport option tls_verify_cert_hostnames
01a4a5c5
JH
203 can be used to disable this per-host. The build option
204 EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES is withdrawn.
205

JH
208 For GnuTLS, only version 3.0.20 or later.
209
610ff438 210JH/06 Verification of the server certificate for a TLS connection is now tried

211 (but not required) by default. The verification status is now logged by
212 default, for both outbound TLS and client-certificate supplying inbound
213 TLS connections
610ff438 214

JH
218JH/08 The EXPERIMENTAL_DSN compile option is no longer needed; all Delivery
219 Status Notification (bounce) messages are now MIME format per RFC 3464.
220 Support for RFC 3461 DSN options NOTIFY,ENVID,RET,ORCPT can be advertised
221 under the control of the dsn_advertise_hosts option, and routers may
222 have a dsn_lasthop option.
223
0f0c8159

224JH/09 A timeout of 2 minutes is now applied to all malware scanner types by
225 default, modifiable by a malware= option. The list separator for
23763898 226 the options can now be changed in the usual way. Bug 68.
4e71661f 227

230JH/11 The incoming_interface log option now also enables logging of the
231 local interface on delivery outgoing connections.
232
5032d1cf

240 Patch from Andrew Lewis.
241
fd4d8871 242JH/15 Bug 670: The spamd_address main option (for the spam= ACL condition)
dc7b3d36 243 now supports optional time-restrictions, weighting, and priority
fd4d8871
R
244 modifiers per server. Patch originally by <rommer@active.by>.
245
246JH/16 The spamd_address main option now supports a mixed list of local
2aad5761
JH
247 and remote servers. Remote servers can be IPv6 addresses, and
248 specify a port-range.
fd4d8871 249

JH
262JH/21 Support for the A6 type of dns record is withdrawn.
263
82c0c8ea
JH
264JH/22 Bug 608: The result of a QUIT or not-QUIT toplevel ACL now matters
265 rather than the verbs used.
266
b980ed83

284
8241d8dd
JH
285JH/28 Bug 1588: Do not use the A lookup following an AAAA for setting the FQDN.
286 Normally benign, it bites when the pair was led to by a CNAME;
287 modern usage is to not canoicalize the domain to a CNAME target
288 (and we were inconsistent anyway for A-only vs AAAA+A).

311Exim version 4.85
312-----------------
313TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
314 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
315 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
316 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
317 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
318 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
319 the script parsing/test process like normal.

329TL/03 Bugzilla 1518: Clarify "condition" processing in routers; that
330 syntax errors in an expansion can be treated as a string instead of

WB
346JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process. Several recipients, combined
347 with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split
348 over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly. This eventually
349 resulted in duplicates being sent. This issue only became common enough
350 to notice due to the introduction of conection certificate information,
351 the item size being so much larger. Found and fixed by Wolfgang Breyha.

360JH/08 Rename the TPDA expermimental facility to Event Actions. The #ifdef
361 is EXPERIMENTAL_EVENT, the main-configuration and transport options
362 both become "event_action", the variables become $event_name, $event_data
aec45841 363 and $event_defer_errno. There is a new variable $verify_mode, usable in
723fe533
JH
364 routers, transports and related events. The tls:cert event is now also
365 raised for inbound connections, if the main configuration event_action
366 option is defined.

424
425 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
426 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
427 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
428 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
429 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging

676TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
677
678 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
679 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
680 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
681 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
682 the retry rules.
683
684 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
685 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
686 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
687
688 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
689 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
690 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
691 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
692
1ddeb334
TF
693 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
694 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
695 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
696 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
697 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
698 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
699 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
700
701 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
702 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

742 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
743 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
744 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.

1024TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1025 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1026 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1027
1028 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1029 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1030 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1031 not safe for signals.
1032
1033 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1034 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1035 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1036 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1037 exiwhat.
1038

TF
1039TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1040
1041 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1042 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1043 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1044 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
1045 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
1046
1047 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1048 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1049 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1050 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1051 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1052 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1053
1054 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1055 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1056 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1057 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1058
1059 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1060 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1061 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1062 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1063
1064 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1065 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1066 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1067 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1068 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1069 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1070 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1071 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1072 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1073
1074 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1075 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1076 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1077 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1078
1079 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1080 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1081 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1082 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1083 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1084 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1085 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1086 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1087 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1088 details in the main documentation.

1638 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1639 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
1640 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
1641 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
1642 build errors in sieve.c.

1657Exim version 4.68
1658-----------------
1659
1660PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1661
6a3bceb1
PH
1662PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1663 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1664 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1665 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1666 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1667 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1668 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1669 for iplsearch lookups.
1670
1671 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1672 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1673 previously such lookups could never work.
1674
1675 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1676 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1677 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1682MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1683 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1684 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1685 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1686 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1687 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
1692MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1693 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1694 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1695 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1696 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1697 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1770PH/02 In an ACL statement such as

1774 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
1775 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
1776 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.

PH
1880PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1881 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
1882 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
1883 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1884 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1885 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1886 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
1898PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in

1900 SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
1901 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
1902 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
1903 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
1904 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

1935 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it

1942 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
1943 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
1944 intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their

58eb016e 1959PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending
563b63fa
PH
1960 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1961 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1962 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1963 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1964 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1965 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1966 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1967 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1976-----------------
1977
1978PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
1979 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1980
1981 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1982 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1983
1984 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1985 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1986 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1987
1988 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1989 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1990 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1991 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1992 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2006PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
2007 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
2008 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2009 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2010 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2011 rather than extend the field.

2017TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
2018 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
2019 While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
2020 filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
2021 these files.
2022
2023TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
2024 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
2025 triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
2026
2027TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
2028 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
2029 hence the _LINUX specificness.

2031TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,

2033 header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
2034 in the field name.

PH
2036PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2037 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2038 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2039 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2040 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2041 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2042 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2043 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2044 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2045 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2046 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2080PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
2081 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
2082 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2083 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2084 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2085 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2086 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2087 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 2089PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 2090 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2091 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2092 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2093 function.
2094 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2095 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2096 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2097 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2098 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2099 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2100 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2101 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2102 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2107PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2108 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2109 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2110 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2111 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2112 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2113 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2114 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2117 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
2118 list.
2119
322050c2
PH
2120PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2121 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2122 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2123 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2124 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2125 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2126 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2127 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2128 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2129 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2130 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2131 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2132 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
2134PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2135 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2136 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2137 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2138 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2139 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2140 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2142PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2143 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2144 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2145 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2146 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2147 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2148 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2149 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2150 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2151 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

602e59e5
PH
2153PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2154 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2155 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2156 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2157 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.
2158
411ef850
PH
2159PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2160 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2161 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2162 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2163 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2164 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2165 RSA_EXPORT functionality.
2166
7befa435
PH
2167PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
2168 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
2169 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
2170 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2171 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2172 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2173 been verified.

PH
2204
2205PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2206 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2207 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2208 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2209 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2210 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2211 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2212 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2213 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2214
2215 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2216 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2217 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2218 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2219 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2220 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2221 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2222 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2223 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2224
2225 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2226 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2227 hammering the server.

520de300
PH
2242PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2243 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
2244 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
2245 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2246 fails.
2247
48c7f9e2
PH
2248PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2249 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2250 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2251 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
2252 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
2253 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2254 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2255 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2256 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2257 smtp transport.

2528 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2529 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2530 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2531 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2532 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

2573 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was

2618 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2654 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2655 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2656 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2657 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2658 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2659 values from the SRV records were lost.

2669PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2670 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2671 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2672 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2673 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2674 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2675 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2676 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2677 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2774PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2775 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2776 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2777 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2778 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2779 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2780 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2781 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2782 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2783 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

2791PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
2792 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
2793 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
2794 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
2795 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
2796 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
2797 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
2798 the variable.

PH
2818PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
2819 used in LMTP mode:
2820
2821 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2822 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2823 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2824 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2825
2826 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2827 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2828 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2829
2830PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2831 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2832 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2833 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
2834 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

2890PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being

2892 In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
2893 been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
2894 body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
2895 include only those that have been read before the error was detected.

2898PH/69 The HTML version of the specification is now built in a directory called

PH
2904PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2905 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2906 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2907 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2908 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2909 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2910 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2911 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2912 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2913 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2914 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2933PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck:
2934
2935 (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is
2936 not a single digit.
2937
2938 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
2939 string.
2940
2941 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2942 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2943 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2944 silly things.
2945
2946 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
2947 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
2948
2949 (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result
2950 inside the third argument.

2961
2962 => >A.N.Other <ano@some.domain> <original@ddress> ...
2963
2964 This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There
2965 may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like

PH
2970PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2971 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2972 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2973 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2974 identical. For example:
2975
2976 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2977
2978 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2979 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2980 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2982PH/07 When both +timestamp and +memory debugging was on, the value given by

PH
3006PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to
3007 Electronic Mail") by including:
3008
3009 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
3010
3011 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
3012 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
3013 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
3014 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
3015 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3016
3017 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3018
3019 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3020
3021 The auto-replied keyword:
3022
3023 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3024 message by an automatic process,
3025

3069PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated

3071 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3072 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3073 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3074 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3075 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3076 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3077 the text comparison.

3375 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
3376 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
3377 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
3378 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
3379 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.

3384 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
3385 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
3386 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

3523 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
3524 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
3525 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
3526 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
3527 introduced by 4.51/PH/31.

3537PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
3538 aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files

3540 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
3541 record types that Exim uses.

3546 data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a

3594
3595PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
3596 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
3597 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3598 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3599 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3600 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3601 file.
3602
3603PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3604 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3605 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3606 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3607 these two options.
3608
3609PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3610 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3611 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3612 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3613 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3614 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3615 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3616 address.

3620
3621PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3622 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3623 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3624 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3625 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3626 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
3627
3628PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

3681 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3682 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
3683 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
3684 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check

3690 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
3691 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1

3704PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
3705 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
3706 understands it better than I do:
3707
3708 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
3709 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
3710
3711 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
3712 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
3713 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
3714 => three warnings about OTP not working
3715 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
3716
3717 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
3718 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
3719 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
3720 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
3721 for each call.)
3722 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
3723 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
3724

PH
3791PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
3792 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
3793 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
3794 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
3795 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
3796 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
3797 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
3798
3799 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
3800 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
3801 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
3802 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
3803 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
3804
3805 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
3806 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
3807 routed further.

3852 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
3853 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
3854 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
3855 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
3856 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

3866A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
3867----------------------------------------
3868
3869Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
3870changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
3871needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
3872in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
3873that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
3874release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
3875from 4.43.
3876
3877I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
38784.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
3879those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
3880historical information.

392111. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
3922 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
3923 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
3924 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
3925
2a3eea10
PH
392612. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
3927 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
3928 sender verification.
3929
393013. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
3931 $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.
3932
23c7ff99
PH
393314. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.
3934
4deaf07d
PH
393515. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different
3936 connection timeout.
3937
926e1192
PH
393816. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
3939 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
3940
650edc6f
PH
394117. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
3942 the spool by the -Mrm option.
3943
2c7db3f5
PH
394418. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
3945 information about exactly what failed.
3946
3d235903
PH
394719. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.
3948
7c7ad977
PH
394920. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
3950 handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
3951 CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).
3952
981756db
PH
395321. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
3954 It is now set to "smtps".
3955
d4eb88df
PH
395622. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
3957 ignore_target_hosts.
3958
395923. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
3960 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
3961 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
3962 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
3963 "[x.x.x.x]".
3964
7d468ab8
PH
396524. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
3966 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
3967 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
3968
396925. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
3970 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
3971 wake it up if nothing else does.
3972
62c0818f
PH
397326. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
3974 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
3975 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
3976 end up negative.
3977
26034054
PH
397827. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
3979 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
3980
af66f652
PH
398128. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
3982
90af77f4
PH
398329. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
3984 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
3985 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
3986 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
3987 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
3988 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
3989 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
3990 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
3991
d8ef3577
PH
399230. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
3993 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
3994 than one IP address.
3995
5cb8cbc6
PH
399631. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
3997 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
3998 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
3999 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
4000
14702f5b
PH
400132. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4002 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4003 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4004 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4005 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4006 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4007
063b1e99
PH
400833. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4009 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4010 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4011 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4012
652e1b65
PH
401334. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4014 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4015 respected.
4016
6f0c9a4f
PH
401735. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4018 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4019 $sender_host_address.
4020
33397d19
PH
402136. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4022 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4023 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4024 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4025 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4026 very small.
4027
7bb56e1f
PH
402837. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
4029
4030 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
4031 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
4032
ea3bc19b
PH
4033 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
4034 just the host names, not the priorities.
4035
4036 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
4037 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
4038 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 4039
ea3bc19b 4040 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 4041 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 4042
0bcb2a0e
PH
404338. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
4044 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
4045 domain.
4046
2ac0e484
PH
404739. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
4048
4e1fde53
PH
404940. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
4050 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
4051
de365ded
PH
405241. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4053 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4054 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
4055
f05da2e8
PH
405642. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
4057
d6453af2
PH
405843. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
4059
f7b63901
PH
406044. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
4061
406245. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4063 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4064 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4065 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4066 because the tests only now provoked it.
4067
a444213a
PH
406846. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4069 (this can affect the format of dates).
4070
0ec020ea
PH
407147. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4072 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4073 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4074 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
4075
b1206957
PH
407648. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
4077
407849. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4079 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4080 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4081 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
4082
26dd5a95
PH
408350. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4084 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4085 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
4086
343b2385
PH
408751. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
4088 autoreply.
4089
1c5466b9
PH
409052. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4091 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4092 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4093 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4094 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4095 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4096 is going on).
4097
55ee9ee3
PH
409853. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
4099 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
4100 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
4101 the line.
4102
d38f8232
PH
410354. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
4104 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
4105 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
4106
4107 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
4108 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
4109 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
4110 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
4111 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
4112 so I produce this patch..."
4113
3295e65b
PH
4114 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
4115 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
4116 is not defined.
4117
7102e136
PH
411855. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4119 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
4120 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4121 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
ea3a6f44 4122 CAN-2005-0021
7102e136 4123
3ca0ba97
PH
412456. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
4125
c2bcbe20
PH
412657. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
4127 long debug lines gets shown.
4128
18ce445d
PH
412958. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
4130 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
4131
1f5b4c3d
PH
413259. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
4133
4134 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
4135 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
4136 of $primary_hostname.
4137
b975ba52
PH
413860. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4139 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4140 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4141 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
4142 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4143 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4144 by change 4.50/55 above.
4145
4146 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4147 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4148 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4149 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4150 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4151 running as the user.
ea3a6f44 4152 CAN-2005-0021
85b87bc2
PH
4153
415461. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4155 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
4156 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 4157 CAN-2005-0022
b975ba52 4158
17ffcae7
PH
415962. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
4160 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
4161
d95f9fdb
PH
416263. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4163 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4164 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4165 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4166 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
4167
86b8287f
PH
416864. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
4169 This has been fixed.
4170
60dc5e56
PH
417165. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4172 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4173 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4174 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4175 the caching.)
4176
533244af
PH
417766. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
4178
a5a28604
PH
417967. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
4180 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
4181 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
4182 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
4183
7e634d24
PH
418468. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
4185 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
4186
3e11c26b
PH
418769. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
4188 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
4189 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
4190
6729cf78
PH
419170. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
4192 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
4193 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
4194 message there.
4195
00f00ca5
PH
419671. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
4197 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
4198 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
4199
c9bdd01c
PH
420072. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
4201 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
4202 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
4203 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
4204
d43194df
PH
420573. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
4206 during host lookups.
4207
fe5b5d0b
PH
420874. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
4209 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
4210
4211 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
4212
76a2d7ba
PH
421375. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
4214 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
4215 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
4216 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
4217 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
4218 background.
4219
422076. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
4221 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
4222
04f7d5b9
PH
422377. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
4224 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
4225 for the non-SMTP ACL.
4226
bc60667e
PH
422778. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
4228
bb6e88ff
PH
422979. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
4230 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
4231 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
4232 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
4233 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
4234 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
4235 process earlier.
4236
1e70f85b
PH
423780. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
4238 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
4239 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
4240 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
4241 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
4242
424381. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
4244 tables).
4245

4257----------------------------------------------------
4258See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
4259----------------------------------------------------
4260
4261
4262Exim version 4.44
4263-----------------
4264
4265 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
4266 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
4267 transport
4268
4269 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
4270 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
4271 place.
4272
4273 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4274 filter fails to execute.
4275
4276 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4277 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4278 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4279 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4280 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4281
4282 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4283 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4284 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4285 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
4286
4287 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4288 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4289 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4290 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4291 control that does not make sense is encountered.
4292
4293 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
4294
4295 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
4296 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
4297 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
4298 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
4299
4300 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4301 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4302 sender verification.
4303
430410. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
4305 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
4306
430711. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
4308 the spool by the -Mrm option.
4309
431012. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4311 ignore_target_hosts.
4312
431313. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4314 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4315 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4316 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4317 "[x.x.x.x]".
4318
431914. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4320 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4321 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4322
432315. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4324 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4325 wake it up if nothing else does.
4326
432716. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4328 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4329 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4330 end up negative.
4331
433217. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4333 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
4334
ea3a6f44 433518. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.

433719. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
4338 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
4339 empty pattern.
4340
434120. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
4342 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
4343 one IP address.

434521. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4346 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4347 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4348 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4349 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4350 1024 to 2048 bytes.

435222. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4353 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4354 respected.

4355
435623. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4357 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4358 $sender_host_address.
4359
436024. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
4361
ea3a6f44
NM
436225. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4363 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4364 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0

436927. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4370 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 4371
ea3a6f44
NM
437228. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4373 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4374 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4375 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.

437729. eximstats updated to version 1.35

438130. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4382 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4383 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4384 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.

438631. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4387 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4388 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.

4391 autoreply.
bbe902f0 4392

439332. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4394 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4395 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4396 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4397 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4398 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4399 is going on).
bbe902f0 4400

440133. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4402 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
4403 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4404 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

440734. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4408 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4409 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4410 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
4411 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4412 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4413 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
4414
4415 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4416 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4417 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4418 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4419 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4420 running as the user.

442335. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code

442836. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4429 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4430 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4431 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4432 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 4433
ea3a6f44
NM
443437. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4435 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4436 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4437 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4438 the caching.)

444038. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4441 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4442 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4443 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4444 because the tests only now provoked it.

4447Exim version 4.43
4448-----------------
4449
4450 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
4451 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
4452 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
4453 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
4454 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
4455 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
4456 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
4457
4458 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
4459 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
4460 the delivery.
4461
4462 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
4463
4464 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
4465
4466 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
4467 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
4468 to local_scan().
4469
4470 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
4471 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
4472 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
4473 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
4474 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
4475
4476 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
4477 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
4478
4479 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
4480
4481 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
4482
448310. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
4484 header_sender only.
4485
448611. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
4487 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
4488
448912. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
4490 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
4491 affecting debugging statements).
4492
449313. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
4494
449514. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
4496 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
4497 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
4498 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
4499 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
4500 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
4501 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
4502 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
4503 after the received time, and all would be well.
4504
450515. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
4506 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
4507 condition in an expansion string.
4508
450916. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
4510
451117. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
4512 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
4513 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
4514 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
4515 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
4516 job under whatever limits there are.
4517
451818. Imported PCRE 5.0.
4519
452019. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
4521 space).
4522
452320. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
4524 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
4525 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
4526 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
4527 return path is set.
4528
452921. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
4530 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
4531 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
4532 binary data in such strings.
4533
453422. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
4535
453623. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
4537 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
4538 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
4539 failure, which is pointless.
4540
454124. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
4542
454325. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
4544
454526. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
4546 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
4547 Sender: header lines.
4548
454927. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
4550 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
4551 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
4552
455328. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
4554 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
4555 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
4556 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
4557 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
4558 happens.
4559
456029. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
4561 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
4562 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
4563 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
4564 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
4565
456630. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
4567 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
4568 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
4569 1024.
4570
457131. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
4572 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
4573
457432. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
4575 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
4576
457733. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
4578
457932. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
4580
458133. Added an ACL for QUIT.
4582
458334. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
4584 syntax error.
4585
458635. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
4587
458836. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
4589
459037. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
4591 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
4592 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
4593 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
4594
459538. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
4596 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
4597
4598
4599Exim version 4.42
4600-----------------
4601
4602 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
4603 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
4604 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
4605 it was not quoted.
4606 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
4607 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
4608 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
4609 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
4610 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
4611 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
4612
4613 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
4614 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
4615 verification failure".
4616
4617 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
4618 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
4619 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
4620 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
4621
4622 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
4623 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
4624 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
4625 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
4626 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
4627 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
4628 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
4629 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
4630 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
4631 treated as a timeout.
4632
4633 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
4634 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
4635 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
4636 not set for Exim filters).
4637
4638 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
4639 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
4640 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
4641
4642 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
4643
4644 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
4645 try to make them clearer.
4646
4647 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
4648 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
4649
4650 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
4651
4652 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
4653
465410. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
4655 only the Cygwin environment.
4656
465711. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
4658 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
4659 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
4660 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
4661 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
4662
466312. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
4664 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
4665 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
4666 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
4667 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
4668 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
4669 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
4670
467113. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
4672 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
4673
467414. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
4675
4676 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
4677 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
4678 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
4679
4680 To: susanne@some.where
4681
4682 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
4683 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
4684 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
4685 of addresses in From: header lines).
4686
4687 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
4688 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
4689 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
4690
4691 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
4692 treated as non-personal.
4693
4694 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
4695 because it now seems ill-conceived.
4696
469715. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
4698
469916. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
4700
470117. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
4702 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
4703 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
4704
470518. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
4706 ACL and the local_scan() function.
4707
470819. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
4709 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
4710 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
4711 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
4712 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
4713 (I found it when inspecting the code).
4714
471520. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
4716 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
4717 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
4718 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
4719 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
4720 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
4721 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
4722 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
4723
4724 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
4725
472621. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
4727 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
4728
472922. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
4730 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
4731 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
4732
473323. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
4734 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
4735
473624. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
4737 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
4738 rather than long int.
4739
474025. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
4741
474226. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.

4744
4745Exim version 4.41
4746-----------------
4747
4748 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
4749 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
4750 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
4751 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
4752 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
4753 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
4754
4755
4756Exim version 4.40
4757-----------------
4758
4759 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
4760 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
4761
4762 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
4763 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
4764 socklen_t is defined.
4765
4766 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
4767 always exist.
4768
4769 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
4770 configured.
4771
4772 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
4773 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
4774 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
4775 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
4776 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
4777
4778 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
4779 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
4780 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
4781 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
4782
4783 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
4784 of flapping under certain conditions.
4785
4786 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
4787 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
4788 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
4789
4790 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
4791
479210. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
4793
479411. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
4795 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
4796 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
4797 the duration of the SMTP connection.
4798
479912. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
4800 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
4801 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
4802 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
4803 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
4804 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
4805 preserved with the message after it was received.
4806
480713. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
4808 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
4809 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
4810 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
4811 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
4812 test suite worked just fine.
4813
481414. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
4815 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
4816 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
4817
481815. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
4819 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
4820 string.
4821
482216. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
4823 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
4824 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
4825 does not fully solve it.
4826
482717. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
4828 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
4829 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
4830 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
4831 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
4832
483318. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
4834 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
4835 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
4836
483719. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
4838 string, for example:
4839
4840 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
4841
4842 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
4843 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
4844 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
4845 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
4846 the routers could not see them.
4847
484820. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
4849 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
4850
485121. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
4852 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
4853 output).
4854
485522. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
4856 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
4857 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
4858 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
4859 that needed quoting.
4860
486123. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
4862 was not being matched caselessly.
4863
486424. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
4865 backslashes.
4866
486725. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
4868 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
4869 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
4870 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
4871 when use_sender is false.
4872
487326. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
4874
487527. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
4876
487728. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
4878
487929. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
4880 the configuration file.
4881
488230. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
4883 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
4884
488531. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
4886
488732. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
4888 bytes in the message body.
4889
489033. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
4891 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
4892 delivery.
4893
489434. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
4895
489635. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
4897
489836. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
4899 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
4900 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
4901 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
4902 another IP address.
4903
4904
4905Exim version 4.34
4906-----------------
4907
4908 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
4909 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
4910
4911 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
4912 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
4913 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
4914 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
4915 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
4916
4917 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
4918 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
4919
4920 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
4921 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
4922 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
4923
4924 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
4925 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
4926 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
4927
4928 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
4929 for routers.
4930
4931 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
4932 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
4933 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
4934 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
4935 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
4936 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
4937 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
4938
4939
4940Exim version 4.33
4941-----------------
4942
4943 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
4944 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
4945 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
4946 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
4947 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
4948 default (and expected) setting.
4949
4950 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
4951 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
4952 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
4953 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
4954
4955 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
4956 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
4957
4958 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
4959 in domain lists.
4960
4961 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
4962 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
4963 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
4964 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
4965 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
4966 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
4967
4968 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
4969 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
4970 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
4971
4972 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
4973 part (NOT match_host).
4974
4975 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
4976
4977 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
4978 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
4979 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
4980 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
4981 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
4982 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
4983 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
4984 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
4985 the same named file.
4986
498710. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
4988 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
4989 when Exim is built.
4990
499111. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
4992 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
4993 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
4994 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
4995 a host name.
4996
499712. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
4998 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
4999 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5000
500113. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5002
500314. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5004
500515. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5006
500716. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5008 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5009
501017. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5011 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5012 before starting the TLS session.
5013
501418. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5015
501619. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5017 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5018
501920. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5020 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5021 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5022 colon in the middle).
5023
5024
5025Exim version 4.32
5026-----------------
5027
5028 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5029 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5030 multiple configurations are in use.
5031
5032 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5033 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5034 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5035 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5036 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5037 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5038
5039 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5040 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5041
5042 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5043 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5044 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5045
5046 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5047 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5048 occurs.
5049
5050 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
5051 that used bh_ and bheader_.
5052
5053 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
5054
5055 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
5056 allowing one more file than it should have been.
5057
5058 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
5059
5060 -prval:sval
5061
5062 is equivalent to
5063
5064 -oMr rval -oMs sval
5065
5066 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
5067 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
5068 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
5069 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
5070 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
5071
507210. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
5073 Exim's behaviour:
5074
5075 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
5076 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
5077 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
5078 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
5079 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
5080 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
5081
5082 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
5083 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
5084 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
5085 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
5086 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
5087 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
5088 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
5089 string.
5090
5091 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
5092 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
5093 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
5094 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
5095 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
5096
509711. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
5098
509912. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
5100 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
5101 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
5102
510313. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
5104
510514. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
5106 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
5107 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
5108 information.
5109
511015. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
5111 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
5112
511316. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
5114 Three changes have been made:
5115
5116 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
5117 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
5118 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
5119 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
5120 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
5121
5122 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
5123 been restored.
5124
5125 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
5126 the modified behaviour.
5127
5128
5129Exim version 4.31
5130-----------------
5131
5132 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
5133 Larry Rosenman.
5134
5135 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
5136 indeed breaks things for older releases.
5137
5138 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
5139 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
5140 try to track down a specific problem.
5141
5142 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
5143 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
5144 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
5145
5146 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
5147 warning.
5148
5149 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
5150 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
5151 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
5152 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
5153 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
5154 some earlier ones do not.
5155
5156 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
5157
5158 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
5159 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
5160 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5161 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
5162 address literals are enabled, of course).
5163
5164 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
5165
516610. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
5167 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
5168 by a command such as
5169
5170 exim -f "" ...
5171
5172 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
5173
517411. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
5175
517612. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
5177 remained set. It is now erased.
5178
517913. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
5180 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
5181
518214. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
5183 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
5184 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
5185 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
5186 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
5187 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
5188 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
5189 appropriate error code.
5190
519115. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
5192 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
5193 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
5194 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
5195 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
5196 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
5197
519816. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
5199 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
5200 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
5201
520217. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
5203 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
5204 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
5205 terminate the header.
5206
520718. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
5208 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
5209 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
5210
521119. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
5212 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
5213 (4.30/29). In particular:
5214
5215 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
5216 imposed.
5217
5218 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
5219 to write a maildirsize file.
5220
5221 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
5222 the transport, the new value overrides.
5223
5224 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
5225 count.
5226
522720. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
5228 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
5229 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
5230 space or a tab.
5231
523221. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
5233 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
5234 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
5235 the fallback hosts.
5236
523722. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
5238 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
5239 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
5240
524123. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
5242 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
5243 using a union.
5244
524524. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
5246 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
5247 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
5248
524925. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
5250
525126. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
5252
525327. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
5254
525528. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
5256 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
5257 become corrupted.
5258
525929. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
5260 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
5261 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
5262 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
5263 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
5264 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
5265 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
5266 too great.
5267
526830. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
5269 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
5270 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
5271 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
5272 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
5273 incorrectly.
5274
527531. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
5276 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
5277 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
5278 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
5279 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
5280 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
5281 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
5282 cached value only when the same options are set.
5283
528432. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
5285
528633. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
5287 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
5288 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
5289 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
5290 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
5291
529234: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
5293 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
5294 it is clearly obsolete.
5295
529635. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
5297 transport.
5298
529936. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
5300 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
5301 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
5302 times.
5303
530437. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
5305 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
5306 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
5307 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
5308 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
5309
531038. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
5311 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
5312 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
5313 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
5314
531539. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
5316
5317 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
5318
5319 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
5320 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
5321 2^31.
5322
532340. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
5324 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
5325 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
5326 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
5327 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
5328 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
5329 $localpart_data.
5330
533141. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
5332 with the -f command-line option.
5333
533442. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
5335 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
5336 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
5337 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
5338 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
5339 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5340
534143. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
5342 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
5343 line.
5344
534544. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
5346 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
5347 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
5348 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
5349 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
5350 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
5351 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
5352 buffer is too small.
5353
535445. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
5355 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
5356
535746. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
5358 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
5359 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
5360 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
5361 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
5362 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
5363 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
5364 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
5365 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
5366
536747. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
5368 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
5369 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
5370
537148. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
5372 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
5373 ACL").
5374
537549. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
5376 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
5377 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
5378 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
5379 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
5380
538150. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
5382 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
5383 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
5384 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
5385 is set.
5386
538751. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
5388
538952. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
5390
539153. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
5392 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
5393
539454. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
5395 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
5396 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
5397
539855. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
5399 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
5400 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
5401 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
5402 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
5403
540456. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
5405 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
5406 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
5407 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
5408 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
5409 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
5410 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
5411
541257. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
5413 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
5414 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
5415 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
5416 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
5417 the test of how many are available.
5418
541958. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
5420 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
5421 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
5422 Howewer, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
5423 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
5424 new message is started.
5425
542659. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
5427 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
5428
542960. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
5430 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
5431
543261. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
5433 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
5434 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
5435 is no long logged.
5436
543762. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
5438 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
5439 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
5440 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
5441 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
5442 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
5443 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
5444
544563. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
5446 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
5447 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
5448 interpreted as octal.
5449
545064. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
5451 setting.
5452
545365. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
5454 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
5455 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
5456 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
5457 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
5458 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
5459
546066. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
5461 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
5462 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
5463 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
5464
5465 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
5466 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
5467 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
5468 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
5469
5470 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
5471 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
5472 is a bug fix.
5473
5474 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
5475 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
5476
547767. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5478
547968. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
5480 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
5481 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
5482 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
5483
548469. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
5485 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
5486 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
5487 supplied", which is not helpful.
5488
548970. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
5490 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
5491 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
5492
549371. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
5494 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
5495 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
5496 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
5497 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
5498 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
5499 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
5500 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
5501
550272. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
5503 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
5504 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
5505 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
5506 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
5507
550873. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
5509 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
5510 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
5511 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
5512 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer errror. The
5513 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
5514
551574. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
5516 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
5517 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
5518
551975. Added write_rejectlog option.
5520
552176. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
5522 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
5523 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
5524 variables.
5525
552677. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
5527
552878. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
5529 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
5530 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
5531 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
5532 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
5533 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
5534 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
5535 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
5536
553779. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
5538 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
5539 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
5540 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
5541 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
5542
554380. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
5544 Haardt.
5545
554681. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
5547 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
5548 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
5549 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
5550 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
5551 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
5552 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
5553 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
5554 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
5555
5556
5557Exim version 4.30
5558-----------------
5559
5560 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
5561 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
5562 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
5563
5564 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
5565 fixed.
5566
5567 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
5568 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
5569 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
5570
5571 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
5572 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
5573 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
5574 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
5575 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
5576 empty string, assuming it had been canonicized.
5577
5578 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
5579 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
5580 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
5581 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
5582 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
5583 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
5584 the Exim test suite.
5585
5586 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
5587 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
5588 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
5589 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
5590
5591 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
5592 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
5593 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
5594 specify it in this variable.
5595
5596 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
5597 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
5598 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
5599 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
5600
5601 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
5602 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
5603 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
5604 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
5605
5606 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
5607 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
5608 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
5609 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
5610 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
5611
5612 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
5613
561410. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
5615 they are logged.
5616
561711. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
5618 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
5619 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
5620 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
5621 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
5622
562312. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
5624 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
5625
562613. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
5627 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
5628 to be output. Howeve, since Exim outputs its version number before the
5629 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
5630 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
5631
563214. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
5633 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
5634
563515. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
5636 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5637 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
5638
563916. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
5640 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
5641
564217. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
5643 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
5644
564518. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
5646 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
5647 to get rid of the compiler warning.
5648
564919. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
5650 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
5651
565220. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
5653 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
5654 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
5655 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
5656
565721. Added the -t option to exigrep.
5658
565922. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
5660 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
5661 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
5662 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
5663
566423. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
5665
566624. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
5667 line; previously there was no indication of these.
5668
566925. Added .include_if_exists.
5670
567126. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
5672 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
5673 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
5674 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
5675 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
5676 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
5677
567827. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
5679
568028. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
5681 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
5682 this.
5683
568429. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
5685
568630. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
5687 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
5688
5689 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
5690 550 Sender verify failed
5691
5692 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
5693 the final line of the response.
5694
569531. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
5696 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
5697 all other user lookups.
5698
569932. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
5700 delivery time.
5701
570233. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
5703 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
5704 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
5705 result into an int without checking.
5706
570734. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
5708 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
5709 to have been documented since at least releast 1.62. I have made it work.
5710
571135. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
5712 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
5713 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
5714 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
5715
571636. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
5717 correctly.
5718
571937. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
5720 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
5721
572238. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
5723 to the empty sender.
5724
572539. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
5726 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
5727 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
5728 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
5729 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
5730 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
5731 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
5732 panic log.
5733
573440. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
5735 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
5736 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
5737 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
5738 used.
5739
574041. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
5741 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
5742
574342. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
5744 timestamps.
5745
574643. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
5747 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
5748
574944. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
5750
575145. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
5752 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
5753 logs.
5754
575546. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
5756 as soon as it is encountered.
5757
575847. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
5759
576048. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
5761 rewritten to "<>".
5762
576349. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
5764 recognizes a tab character.
5765
576650. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
5767 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
5768 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
5769 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
5770
577151. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
5772
577352. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
5774 crash.
5775
577653. Installed eximstats 1.29.
5777
577854. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
5779
578055. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
5781 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
5782 2822.
5783
578456. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
5785 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
5786 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
5787 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
5788 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
5789
579057. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
5791 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
5792
579358. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
5794 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
5795 list (.included file names were always shown).
5796
579759. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
5798 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
5799 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
5800 root at that time.
5801
580260. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
5803 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
5804
580561. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
5806
580762. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
5808
580963. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
5810
581164. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
5812 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
5813 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
5814 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
5815 failures to open the logs.
5816
581765. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
5818 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
5819 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
5820 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
5821 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
5822 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
5823 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
5824
5825
5826Exim version 4.24
5827-----------------
5828
5829 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
5830 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
5831 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
5832 change 4.23/1.
5833
5834 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
5835 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
5836 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
5837
5838 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
5839 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
5840 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
5841
5842 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
5843 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
5844 causing some misleading effects.
5845
5846 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
5847 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
5848 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
5849
5850 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
5851 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
5852 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
5853 queue-runner function directly.
5854
5855
5856Exim version 4.23
5857-----------------
5858
5859 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
5860 HEADERS_CHARSET.
5861
5862 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
5863 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
5864 was always written to the default place.
5865
5866 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
5867 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
5868 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
5869
5870 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
5871
5872 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
5873
5874 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
5875 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
5876 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
5877
5878 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
5879 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
5880 must start.
5881
5882 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
5883 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
5884 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
5885
5886 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
5887 command line option is disabled.
5888
5889 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
5890 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
5891
5892 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
5893
5894 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
5895
5896 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
5897 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
5898
589910. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
5900
590111. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
5902 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
5903 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
5904 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
5905 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
5906 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
5907
590812. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
5909 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
5910 timeout.
5911
591213. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
5913 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
5914
591514. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
5916 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
5917
591815. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
5919 received was valid base64.
5920
592116. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
5922 name of the variable that was being set.
5923
592417. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
5925
592618. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
5927 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
5928 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
5929 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
5930 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
5931 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
5932
593319. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
5934
593520. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
5936 nor realm was specified.
5937
593821. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
5939 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
5940 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
5941 errors are given to SMTP connections.
5942
594322. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
5944 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
5945 failing to send a response to QUIT.
5946
594723. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
5948 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
5949 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
5950
595124. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
5952 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
5953 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
5954 some systems use these upper case variants.
5955
595625. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
5957 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
5958 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
5959 socket" when it tried to send the third.
5960
596126. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
5962
596327. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
5964 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
5965
596628. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
5967 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
5968 expansion variable.
5969
597029. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
5971
597230. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
5973 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
5974 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
5975 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
5976
597731. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
5978 using it.
5979
598032. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
5981 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
5982 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
5983
598433. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
5985 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
5986
598734. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
5988 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
5989 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
5990 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
5991
599235. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
5993 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
5994 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
5995
599636. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
5997
599837. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
5999 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6000 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6001 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6002 aborted.
6003
600438. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6005 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6006 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6007
600839. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6009
601040. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6011 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6012
601341. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6014 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6015
601642. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6017 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6018 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6019 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6020 when emails are that large.
6021
6022
6023
6024Exim version 4.22
6025-----------------
6026
6027 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6028 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6029
6030 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6031 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6032 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6033
6034 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6035 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6036 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6037
6038 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6039 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6040 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6041 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6042 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6043
6044 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6045 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6046 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6047 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6048 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6049 ever.
6050
6051 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
6052 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
6053 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
6054 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
6055 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
6056 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
6057 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
6058 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
6059 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
6060 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
6061 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
6062 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
6063 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
6064 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
6065
6066 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
6067 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
6068 parameterised it.
6069
6070 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
6071 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
6072 error should be diagnosed.
6073
6074 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
6075 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
6076 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
6077 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
6078 appeared instead of "NULL".
6079
608010. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
6081 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
6082 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
6083 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
6084 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
6085 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
6086 proceeds).
6087
6088 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
6089 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
6090 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
6091
6092
6093Exim version 4.21
6094-----------------
6095
6096 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
6097 or receiver verification errors.
6098
6099 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
6100 name.
6101
6102 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
6103 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
6104 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
6105 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
6106
6107 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
6108 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
6109 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
6110 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
6111 shouldn't happen again.
6112
6113 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
6114 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
6115 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
6116
6117 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
6118 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
6119
6120 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
6121
6122 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
6123 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
6124
6125 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
6126 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
6127 RFC.
6128
612910. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
6130 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
6131 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
6132
613311. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
6134 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
6135 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
6136 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
6137
613812. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
6139 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
6140 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
6141 to define what should happen).
6142
614313. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
6144 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
6145 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
6146
614714. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
6148
614915. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
6150
615116. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
6152 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
6153
615417. At least on BSD, alignment is not guarenteed for the array of ifreq's
6155 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
6156 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
6157 structure in all cases.
6158
6159 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
6160 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
6161 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
6162 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
6163
616418. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
6165 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
6166 domain name.
6167
616819. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
6169 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
6170
617120. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
6172 MD5 (which is deprecated).
6173
617421. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
6175 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
6176 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
6177
617822. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
6179 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
6180 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
6181
618223. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
6183 the book and for uniformity.
6184
618524. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
6186
618725. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
6188 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILBLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
6189 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
6190 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
6191 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
6192 non-existent command as the problem.
6193
619426. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
6195 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
6196 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
6197
619827. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
6199
620028. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
6201 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
6202 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
6203
620429. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
6205 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
6206 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
6207 timestamps using strftime().
6208
620930. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
6210 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
6211
621232. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
6213 transport-time rewrites.
6214
621533. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
6216 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
6217 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
6218 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
6219
622034. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
6221 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
6222
622335. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
6224 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
6225 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
6226 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
6227 comma and a space.
6228
622936. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
6230 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
6231 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
6232 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
6233 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
6234 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
6235 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
6236
623737. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
6238 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
6239 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
6240 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
6241 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
6242
624338. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
6244 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
6245 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
6246 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
6247 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
6248 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
6249 remaining text gets split now.
6250
625139. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
6252 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
6253 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
6254 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
6255
625640. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
6257 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
6258 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
6259 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
6260 $return_path.
6261
626241. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
6263 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
6264 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
6265 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
6266 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
6267 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
6268 passed through if needed.
6269
627042. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
6271 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
6272 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
6273 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
6274 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
6275 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
6276
627743. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
6278 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
6279 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
6280 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
6281 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
6282
628344. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
6284 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
6285 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
6286 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
6287 incorrect size information for certain domains.
6288
628945. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
6290 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
6291 noticed.
6292
629346. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
6294 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
6295 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
6296 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
6297 mayhem of various kinds.
6298
629947. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
6300 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
6301 may legitimatetly be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
6302 the right test for positive values.
6303
630448. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
6305 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
6306 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
6307 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
6308 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
6309 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
6310 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
6311 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
6312 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
6313 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
6314 envelope.
6315
631649. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
6317 module.
6318
631950. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
6320 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
6321 forbidding it.
6322
632351. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
6324 the existing equality matching.
6325
632652. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
6327 dealing with inode numbers.
6328
632953. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
6330 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
6331 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
6332
633354. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
6334 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
6335 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
6336 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
6337 local_scan().
6338
633955. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
6340 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
6341 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
6342 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
6343 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
6344 relay addresses has also been removed.
6345
634656. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
6347
634857. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
6349 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
6350 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
6351
635258. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
6353 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
6354 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
6355 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
6356 processing applies to CR:
6357
6358 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
6359 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
6360
6361 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
6362 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
6363 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
6364 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
6365
636659. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
6367 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
6368 This is a VOB (very old bug).
6369
637060. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
6371 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
6372 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
6373 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
6374 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
6375 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
6376 arisen.
6377
637861. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
6379 program routers.
6380
638162. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
6382 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
6383 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
6384 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
6385 adds:
6386
6387 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
6388
6389 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
6390
6391 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
6392
639363. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
6394 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
6395 not considered personal.
6396
639764. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
6398
639965. Added queue_only_override (default true).
6400
640166. Added the syslog_duplication option.
6402
640367. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
6404 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
6405 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
6406 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
6407 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
6408 header lines, and spool format errors.
6409
641068. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
6411 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
6412 for more flexibility.
6413
641469. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
6415 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
6416 consulting and updating the callout cache.
6417
641870. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
6419 Sabourenkov.
6420
642171. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
6422 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
6423 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
6424 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
6425 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
6426 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
6427 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
6428 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
6429 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
6430
643172. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
6432 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
6433 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
6434 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
6435 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
6436 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
6437 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
6438
643973. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
6440 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
6441 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
6442
644374. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
6444 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
6445 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
6446 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
6447 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
6448 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
6449 instead of killing the process with assert().
6450
645175. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
6452 than Unicode encoding.
6453
645476. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
6455 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
6456 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
6457 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
6458
645977. Added process_log_path.
6460
646178. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
6462 check_log_inodes was ignored.
6463
646479. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
6465 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
6466
646780. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
6468 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
6469 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
6470
647181. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
6472 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
6473 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
6474 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
6475 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
6476 were applied:
6477
6478 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
6479 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
6480 as invalid.
6481
648282. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
6483 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
6484 they will be used during message reception.
6485
