9723f966
JH
11JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
12 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
13
14JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
15 non-signal-safe functions being used.
16
17JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
18 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
19 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.

JH
21JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
22 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
23 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
24

JH
25JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
26 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
27 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
28 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
29 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
30 messed with.

PP
32PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
33 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
34
1bd642c2
JH
35JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
36 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
37 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
38 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
39 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
40 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
41 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
42

JH
43JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
44 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
45

JH
46JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
47 legitimate.

52JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
53 segfault.
54
d8d9f930
JH
55JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
56 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
57 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
58 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
59 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
60 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
61
61e3f250
JH
62JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
63
7a8b9519
JH
64JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
65 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
66 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
67 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
68
49e56fb3
JH
69JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
70
74f1a423
JH
71JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
72 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
73 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
74 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
75
5054c4fd 76JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
77
78JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.

JH
80JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
81 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
82 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
83
8c34c611
JH
84JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
85 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
86 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.

89

JH
90JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
91 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
92 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
93 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
94
0a682b6c
PP
95PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
96 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
97 promised '?' replacement.
98

PP
99PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
100
8768d548
JH
101JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
102 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
103 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
104 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
105 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
106
5455f548
JH
107JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
108 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
109 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
110

MK
111JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
112 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
113 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
114
7ea1237c 115JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 116 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
117 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
118
ebda598a
JH
119JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
120 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
121 hope that is portable enough.
122
570cb1bd
JH
123JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
124 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
125 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
126 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
127
eb58ddf5
JH
128JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
129 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
130 SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
131
ffbc20ed
MK
132JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
133 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
134 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
135 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
136
4e928780
MK
137JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
138 msg:fail:internal event. Developement by Matthias Kurz.
139
75c121f0 140JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
059f2ace 141 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all
75c121f0
JH
142 the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
143 overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
144
e30f4f43
JH
145JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
146 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
147 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
148
a45431fa
JH
149JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
150 platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
151 (i.e. more than 2 TB). Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
152 the previous G, M, k.
153
c0fb53b7
JH
154JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
155 $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure. Previously
156 it was unset.
157
6aac3239
JH
158JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048. RHEL 8.0
159 OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key. Do for GnuTLS also, and for
160 more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
161 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.
162
5a2a0989
JH
163JH/35 OpenSSL: fail the handshake when SNI processing hits a problem, server
164 side. Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.
165
de6f74f2 166JH/36 Harden the handling of string-lists. When a list consisted of a sole
b72f857f
JH
167 "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked
168 off past the nul-terimation.
169
de6f74f2
JH
170JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external
171 causes) even when the retry time is not yet met. Previously they were
172 not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting,
173 and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get
174 notified on each configured delay_warning cycle.
175
aa6e77af 176JH/38 Bug 2351: Log failures to extract envelope addresses from message headers.
aaf3e414 177
25fa0868
JH
178JH/39 OpenSSL: clear the error stack after an SSL_accept(). With anon-auth
179 cipher-suites, an error can be left on the stack even for a succeeding
180 accept; this results in impossible error messages when a later operation
181 actually does fail.

c39c8870 187GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
bb264f6b
JH
188 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
189 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
190 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
191 next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
192 be defined in redis_servers.

197JH/01 Replace the store_release() internal interface with store_newblock(),
198 which internalises the check required to safely use the old one, plus

202JH/02 Disallow '/' characters in queue names specified for the "queue=" ACL
203 modifier. This matches the restriction on the commandline.

205JH/03 Fix pgsql lookup for multiple result-tuples with a single column.
206 Previously only the last row was returned.
207
a05d3e34
JH
208JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
209 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
210 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
211 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
212 input.
213
ce93c6d8
JH
214JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
215 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
216 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
217 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
218 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
219 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
220 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
221 Main pool for expansions.
222 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
223 active in the testsuite.
224 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.
225
2577f55f
JH
226JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
227 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
228 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
229 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
230 round-robin DNS.
231
5b6f7658
JH
232JH/07 Bug 2214: Fix SMTP responses resulting from non-accept result of MIME ACL.
233 Previously a spurious "250 OK id=" response was appended to the proper
234 failure response.
235

236JH/08 The "support for" informational output now, which built with Content
237 Scanning support, has a line for the malware scanner interfaces compiled
238 in. Interface can be individually included or not at build time.
e5ba8aa7
JH
239
240JH/09 The "aveserver", "kavdaemon" and "mksd" interfaces are now not included
241 by the template makefile "src/EDITME". The "STREAM" support for an older

247JH/11 The runtime Berkeley DB library version is now additionally output by
248 "exim -d -bV". Previously only the compile-time version was shown.
249
06fdb9f7
JH
250JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating
251 SMTP connection. Previously, when one had more receipients than the
252 first, an abortive onward connection was made. Move to full support for
253 multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
254 for all multi-message initiating connections.
255
f83a760f
JH
256JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by
257 routers. Previously, a multi-recipient message would fail to match the
258 onward-connection opened for the first recipient, and cause its closure.
259
f1fed05b
JH
260JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
261 a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
262 initiating connection being dropped. This mattered most when the callout
263 was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
264 separate.
265
051d5efa
JH
266JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in
267 unsupported situations, from error to silently (except under debug)
268 ignoring. This covers use with PRDR, frozen messages, queue-only and
269 fake-reject.

JH
331JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
332 as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
333 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
334 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
335 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
336 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
337 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
338 receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
339 (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).

398JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
399 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
400 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses

JH
409JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
410 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
411 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
412 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
413 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 414 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

427JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
428 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
429 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
430 client, there is no benefit for these.
431 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
432 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
433 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
434 is used (3.2.4 +).

455JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
456 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
457 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
458 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
459 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
460 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
461 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.

JH
463JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
464 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
465 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 466 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.

469 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
470 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
471 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
472 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
473 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
474 processing options.

476JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
477 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
478 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
479 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
480 connections.

1175TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
1176 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific

1178 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
1179 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
1180 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
1181 the script parsing/test process like normal.

1535 protocol violation error. Also, make Exim more robust to bad
1536 data from the Dovecot auth socket.

1538TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1539
1540 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1541 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1542 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1543 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1544 the retry rules.
1545
1546 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1547 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1548 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1549
1550 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1551 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1552 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1553 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1554
1ddeb334
TF
1555 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1556 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1557 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1558 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1559 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1560 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1561 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1562
1563 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1564 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1571
1572 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1573 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1574 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1575 username as equal to the username.

1886TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1887 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1888 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1889
1890 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1891 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1892 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1893 not safe for signals.
1894
1895 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1896 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1897 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1898 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1899 exiwhat.

TF
1901TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1902
1903 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1904 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1905 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1906 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1907 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1908
1909 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1910 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1911 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1912 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1913 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1914 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1915
1916 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1917 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1918 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1919 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1920
1921 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1922 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1923 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1924 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1925
1926 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1927 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1928 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1929 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1930 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1931 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1932 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1933 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1934 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1935
1936 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1937 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1938 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1939 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1940
1941 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1942 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1943 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1944 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1945 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1946 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1947 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1948 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1949 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1950 details in the main documentation.

2523
6a3bceb1
PH
2524PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2525 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2526 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2527 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2528 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2529 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2530 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2531 for iplsearch lookups.
2532
2533 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2534 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2535 previously such lookups could never work.
2536
4c04137d 2537 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2538 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2539 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2544MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2545 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2546 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2547 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2548 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2549 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
2554MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2555 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2556 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2557 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2558 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry

2742PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2743 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2744 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2745 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2746 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2747 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2748 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2822 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2823 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2824 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2825 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2826 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2827 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2828 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2829 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2840PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2841 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2842
2843 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2844 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2845
2846 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2847 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2848 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2849
2850 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2851 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2852 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2853 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2854 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2868PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
2869 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
2870 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2871 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2872 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2873 rather than extend the field.

2879TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
2880 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).

2888
2889TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used

2b1c6e3a
PH
2898PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2899 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2900 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2901 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2902 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2903 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2904 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2905 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2906 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2907 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2908 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2942PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2944 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2945 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2946 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2947 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2948 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2949 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2952 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2953 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2954 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2955 function.
2956 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2957 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2958 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2959 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2960 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2961 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2962 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2963 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2964 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2969PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2970 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2971 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2972 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2973 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2974 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2975 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2976 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2979 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2981
322050c2
PH
2982PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2983 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2984 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2985 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2986 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2987 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2988 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2989 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2990 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2991 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2992 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2993 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2994 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2996PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2997 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2998 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2999 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3000 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3001 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3002 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
3004PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3005 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3006 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3007 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3008 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3009 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3010 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3011 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3012 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3013 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
3015PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3016 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3017 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3018 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3019 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3021PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3022 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3023 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3024 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3025 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3026 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3027 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3032 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3033 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3034 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3035 been verified.

3067PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3068 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3069 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3070 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3071 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3072 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3073 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3074 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3075 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3076
3077 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3078 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3079 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3080 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3081 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3082 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3083 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3084 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3085 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3086
3087 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3088 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3089 hammering the server.

3104PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
3105 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
3106 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
3107 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3108 fails.

48c7f9e2
PH
3110PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3111 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3112 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3113 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3114 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
3115 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3116 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3117 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3118 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3119 smtp transport.

3121PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the

3124 same for both kinds of LMTP.
