105TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
106
107 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
108 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
109 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
110 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
111 the retry rules.
112
113 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
114 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
115 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
116
117 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
118 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
119 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
120 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
121
1ddeb334
TF
122 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
123 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
124 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
125 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
126 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
127 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
128 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
129
130 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
131 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

TF
133TF/02 Correct gecos expansion when From: is a prefix of the username.
134
135 Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header
136
137 Resent-From: f
138
139 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
140 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
141 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
142 username as equal to the username.
143
144 This change corrects that bug.

165JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
166 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
167 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
168 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
169 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
170 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
171 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
172 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
173 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
174 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
175 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

PP
184PP/18 OpenSSL made graceful with empty tls_verify_certificates setting.
185 This is now consistent with GnuTLS, and is now documented: the
186 previous undocumented portable approach to treating the option as
187 unset was to force an expansion failure. That still works, and
188 an empty string is now equivalent.

190PP/19 Renamed DNSSEC-enabling option to "dns_dnssec_ok", to make it

438TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
439 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
440 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
441
442 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
443 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
444 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
445 not safe for signals.
446
447 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
448 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
449 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
450 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
451 exiwhat.

453TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
454
455 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
456 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
457 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
458 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
459 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
460
461 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
462 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
463 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
464 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
465 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
466 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
467
468 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
469 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
470 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
471 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
472
473 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
474 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
475 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
476 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
477
478 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
479 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
480 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
481 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
482 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
483 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
484 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
485 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
486 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
487
488 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
489 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
490 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
491 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
492
493 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
494 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
495 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
496 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
497 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
498 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
499 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
500 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
501 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
502 details in the main documentation.

1053 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1074PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1075
6a3bceb1
PH
1076PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1077 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1078 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1079 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1080 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1081 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1082 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1083 for iplsearch lookups.
1084
1085 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1086 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1087 previously such lookups could never work.
1088
1089 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1090 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1091 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

1096MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1097 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1098 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1099 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1100 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1101 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1106MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1107 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1108 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1109 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1110 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1111 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1294PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1295 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
1296 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
1297 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1298 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1299 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1300 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
1374 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1375 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1376 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1377 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1378 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1379 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1380 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1381 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1392PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
1393 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1394
1395 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1396 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1397
1398 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1399 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1400 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1401
1402 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1403 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1404 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1405 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1406 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1422 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
1423 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
1424 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
1425 rather than extend the field.

2b1c6e3a
PH
1450PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1451 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1452 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1453 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1454 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1455 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1456 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1457 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1458 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1459 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1460 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

1494PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

1496 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
1497 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
1498 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
1499 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
1500 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
1501 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 1504 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
1505 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
1506 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
1507 function.
1508 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
1509 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
1510 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
1511 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
1512 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
1513 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
1514 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
1515 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
1516 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

1522 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
1523 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
1524 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
1525 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
1526 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
1527 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
1528 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

1533
322050c2
PH
1534PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
1535 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
1536 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
1537 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
1538 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
1539 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
1540 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
1541 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
1542 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
1543 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
1544 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
1545 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
1546 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

1549 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
1550 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
1551 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
1552 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
1553 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
1554 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

1556PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
1557 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
1558 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
1559 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
1560 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
1561 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
1562 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
1563 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
1564 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
1565 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

1567PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

PH
1573PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
1574 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
1575 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the

1581PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
1582 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
1583 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
1584 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
1585 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
1586 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
1587 been verified.

1618
1619PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
1620 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
1621 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
1622 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
1623 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
1624 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
1625 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
1626 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
1627 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
1628
1629 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
1630 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
1631 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
1632 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
1633 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
1634 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
1635 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
1636 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
1637 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
1638
1639 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
1640 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
1641 hammering the server.

1656PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
1657 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
1658 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
1659 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
1660 fails.
1661
48c7f9e2
PH
1662PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
1663 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
1664 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
1665 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
1666 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
1667 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
1668 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
1669 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
1670 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
1671 smtp transport.

1944 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
1945 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

1969PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
1970 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
1971 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
1972 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
1973 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
1974 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
1975 processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

1983PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
1984 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
1985 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
1986 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
1987 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
1988 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
1989 addresses as local.

2032 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2055 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2056 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2057 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.

2068 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2069 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2070 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2071 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2072 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2073 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
2083PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2084 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2085 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2086 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2087 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2088 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2089 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2090 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2091 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

2188PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2189 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2190 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2191 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2192 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2193 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2194 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2195 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2196 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

2234
2235 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2236 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2237 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2238 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2239
2240 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2241 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2242 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2243
2244PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2245 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the

2319 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2320 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2321 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2322 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2323 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2324 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2325 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2326 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2327 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2328 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2384PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2385 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2386 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2387 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2388 identical. For example:
2389
2390 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2391
2392 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2393 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2394 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2420PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to

2422
2423 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
2424
2425 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
2426 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
2427 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
2428 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
2429 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
2430
2431 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
2432
2433 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
2434
2435 The auto-replied keyword:
2436
2437 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
2438 message by an automatic process,
2439

2483PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated

2485 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
2486 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
2487 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
2488 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
2489 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
2490 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
2491 the text comparison.

2788PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
2789 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
2790 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
2791 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
2792 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
2793 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.

2795PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout

2798 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
2799 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
2800 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

2877 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks

3009PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
3010 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
3011 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3012 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3013 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3014 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3015 file.
3016
3017PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3018 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3019 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3020 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3021 these two options.
3022
3023PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3024 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3025 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3026 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3027 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3028 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3029 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3030 address.

3035PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3036 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3037 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3038 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3039 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3040 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)

3095 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3096 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited

3118PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
3119 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
3120 understands it better than I do:
3121
3122 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
3123 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
3124
3125 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
3126 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
3127 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
3128 => three warnings about OTP not working
3129 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
3130
3131 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
3132 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
3133 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
3134 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
3135 for each call.)
3136 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
3137 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
3138

3172PH/30 In these circumstances:
3173 . Two addresses routed to the same list of hosts;
3174 . First host does not offer TLS;
3175 . First host accepts first address;
3176 . First host gives temporary error to second address;
3177 . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established;
3178 . Second host accepts second address.
3179 Exim incorrectly logged both deliveries with the TLS parameters (cipher
3180 and peerdn, if requested) that were in fact used only for the second
3181 address.

3186 does for delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless

PH
3205PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
3206 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
3207 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
3208 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
3209 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
3210 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
3211 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
3212
3213 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
3214 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
3215 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
3216 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
3217 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
3218
3219 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
3220 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
3221 routed further.

3226 connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
3227 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
3228 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

3247 (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
3248 (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
3249 (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
3250 (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
3251
3252 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
3253 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
3254 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

3262PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
3263 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
3264 writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
3265 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
3266 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
3267 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
3268 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
3269 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
3270 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
3271 the log output.

3280A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
3281----------------------------------------
3282
3283Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
3284changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
3285needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
3286in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
3287that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
3288release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
3289from 4.43.
3290
3291I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
32924.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
3293those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
3294historical information.

3312 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
3313 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
3314 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
3315 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
3316 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

3320 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
3321 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
3322 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
3323 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

3325 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
3326 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
3327 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
3328 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
3329 control that does not make sense is encountered.
