9427e879 11JH/01 Bug 1922: Support IDNA2008. This has slightly different conversion rules
4c04137d 12 than -2003 did; needs libidn2 in addition to libidn.

16PP/01 GitHub PR 50: Do not call ldap_start_tls_s on ldapi:// connections.
17 Patch provided by "Björn", documentation fix added too.

19JH/03 Bug 2003: fix Proxy Protocol v2 handling: the address size field was
20 missing a wire-to-host endian conversion.

JH
22JH/04 Bug 2004: fix CHUNKING in non-PIPELINEING mode. Chunk data following
23 close after a BDAT command line could be taken as a following command,
24 giving a synch failure. Fix by only checking for synch immediately
25 before acknowledging the chunk.

27PP/02 GitHub PR 52: many spelling fixes, which include fixing parsing of
28 no_require_dnssec option and creation of _HAVE_TRANSPORT_APPEND_MAILDIR

33-----------------
4c57a40e 34

JH
35JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination
36 supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one).
8d042305 37
03d5892b
JH
38JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten
39 years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs
40 acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime.
41
4b0fe319
JH
42JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
43 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
44 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
45 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
46 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
47 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
48 if one fails this test.
49 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
50 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

52JH/04 Bug 1810: make continued-use of an open smtp transport connection
53 non-noisy when a race steals the message being considered.

23bb6982 55JH/05 If main configuration option tls_certificate is unset, generate a
f59aaaaa 56 self-signed certificate for inbound TLS connections.

f42deca9 59 in rewrites and routers.

JH
61JH/07 Retire gnutls_require_mac et.al. These were nonfunctional since 4.80
62 and logged a warning sing 4.83; now they are a configuration file error.
63
05392bbc
JH
64JH/08 Bug 1836: Fix crash in VRFY handling when handed an unqualified name
65 (lacking @domain). Apply the same qualification processing as RCPT.
66

67JH/09 Bug 1804: Avoid writing msglog files when in -bh or -bhc mode.

cfab9d68

69JH/10 Support ${sha256:} applied to a string (as well as the previous
70 certificate).
71

JH
72JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when
73 a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection.
74 This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough
75 connection after a verify cache hit.
76 Do not update it with the verify result either.
77
78JH/12 Cutthrough: disable when verify option success_on_redirect is used, and
79 when routing results in more than one destination address.
80
ae8386f0
JH
81JH/13 Cutthrough: expand transport dkim_domain option when testing for dkim
82 signing (which inhibits the cutthrough capability). Previously only
83 the presence of an option was tested; now an expansion evaluating as
84 empty is permissible (obviously it should depend only on data available
85 when the cutthrough connection is made).
86
0d9fa8c0
JH
87JH/14 Fix logging of errors under PIPELINING. Previously the log line giving
88 the relevant preceding SMTP command did not note the pipelining mode.
89

90JH/15 Fix counting of empty lines in $body_linecount and $message_linecount.
91 Previously they were not counted.
92

JH
93JH/16 DANE: treat a TLSA lookup response having all non-TLSA RRs, the same
94 as one having no matching records. Previously we deferred the message
95 that needed the lookup.
96
4c04137d 97JH/17 Fakereject: previously logged as a normal message arrival "<="; now

106 after the data-go-ahead and data-ack. Patch from Jason Betts.

JH
111JH/22 Fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries. If a port was
112 specified by a router, it must also match for the delivery to be
113 compatible.
114
e3b1f624
JH
115JH/23 Bug 1874: fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries.
116 When one of the recipients of a message was unsuitable for the connection
117 (has no matching addresses), we lost track of needing to mark it
118 deferred. As a result mail would be lost.

JH
120JH/24 Bug 1832: Log EHLO response on getting conn-close response for HELO.
121
f59aaaaa 122JH/25 Decoding ACL controls is now done using a binary search; the source code
2d009132
JH
123 takes up less space and should be simpler to maintain. Merge the ACL
124 condition decode tables also, with similar effect.

d1f9fb42
JH
126JH/26 Fix problem with one_time used on a redirect router which returned the
127 parent address unchanged. A retry would see the parent address marked as
128 delivered, so not attempt the (identical) child. As a result mail would
129 be lost.

131JH/27 Fix a possible security hole, wherein a process operating with the Exim
132 UID can gain a root shell. Credit to http://www.halfdog.net/ for
133 discovery and writeup. Ubuntu bug 1580454; no bug raised against Exim
134 itself :(

136JH/28 Enable {spool,log} filesystem space and inode checks as default.
137 Main config options check_{log,spool}_{inodes,space} are now
138 100 inodes, 10MB unless set otherwise in the configuration.

f59aaaaa 153 GnuTLS, when a session startup failed (eg because the client disconnected)
ad7fc6eb
JH
154 Exim did stdio operations after fclose. This was exposed by a recent
155 change which nulled out the file handle after the fclose.

157JH/32 Bug 1909: Fix OCSP proof verification for cases where the proof is
158 signed directly by the cert-signing cert, rather than an intermediate
159 OCSP-signing cert. This is the model used by LetsEncrypt.

JH
179JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16
180 and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request
181 it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
182 client dropping the TLS connection.

TF
187TF/02 Improve the consistency of logging incoming and outgoing interfaces.
188 The I= interface field on outgoing lines is now after the H= remote
189 host field, same as incoming lines. There is a separate
190 outgoing_interface log selector which allows you to disable the
191 outgoing I= field.

JH
193JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
194 If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
195 open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
196 deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
197 leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
198 check on the next write.

200HS/01 Bug 1671: Fix post transport crash.
201 Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
202 process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
203 using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
204 file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.

209JH/04 Bug 1686: When compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO: Add extra information
210 to DSN fail messages (bounces): remote IP, remote greeting, remote response
211 to HELO, local diagnostic string.
212
805bb5c3
JH
213JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from
214 log line to debug. Even when configured with a tls authenticator many
215 client connections are expected to not authenticate in this way, so
216 an authenticate fail is not an error.

218HS/02 Add the Exim version string to the process info. This way exiwhat
219 gives some more detail about the running daemon.

4c04137d 221JH/06 Bug 1395: time-limit caching of DNS lookups, to the TTL value. This may
14b3c5bc
JH
222 matter for fast-change records such as DNSBLs.
223
6f6dedcc
JH
224JH/07 Bug 1678: Always record an interface option value, if set, as part of a
225 retry record, even if constant. There may be multiple transports with
226 different interface settings and the retry behaviour needs to be kept
227 distinct.

252
23f3dc67
JH
253JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
254 defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built
4c04137d 255 with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testsuite sane.
23f3dc67
JH
256 If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
257 logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably
258 they will retry in-clear.
259 Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
260 at installation time.

262HS/03 Add -bP config_file as a synonym for -bP configure_file, for consistency
263 with the $config_file variable.

5ef5dd52
JB
265JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
266 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
267 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
268 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
4c04137d 269 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx response.

271GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
272 to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
273 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
274 installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
275 result is that the running daemon panics and dies.

f444c2c7
JH
315JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM
316 support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones. This means DKIM is
07c73177
JH
317 only supported when built with TLS support. The PolarSSL SHA routines
318 are still used when the TLS library is too old for convenient support.

320JH/35 Require SINGLE_DH_USE by default in OpenSSL (main config option
321 openssl_options), for security. OpenSSL forces this from version 1.1.0
322 server-side so match that on older versions.
323
07c73177 324JH/36 Bug 1778: longstanding bug in memory use by the ${run } expansion: A fresh

JH
331JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was
332 incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a
333 body-termination at the receiving system - resulting in truncated mails.
62ac2eb7 334 Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message
1bc460a6
JH
335 via the normal store-and-forward channel. This could result in duplicates
336 received - but deduplicating mailstores were liable to retain only the
337 initial truncated version.

864TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
865
866 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
867 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
868 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
869 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
870 the retry rules.
871
872 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
873 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
874 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
875
876 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
877 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
878 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
879 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
880
1ddeb334
TF
881 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
882 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
883 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
884 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
885 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
886 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
887 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
888
889 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
890 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

899 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
900 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
901 username as equal to the username.

TF
1212TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1213 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1214 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1215
1216 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1217 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1218 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1219 not safe for signals.
1220
1221 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1222 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1223 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1224 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1225 exiwhat.

TF
1227TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1228
1229 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1230 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1231 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1232 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1233 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1234
1235 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1236 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1237 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1238 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1239 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1240 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1241
1242 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1243 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1244 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1245 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1246
1247 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1248 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1249 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1250 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1251
1252 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1253 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1254 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1255 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1256 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1257 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1258 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1259 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1260 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1261
1262 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1263 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1264 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1265 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1266
1267 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1268 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1269 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1270 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1271 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1272 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1273 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1274 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1275 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1276 details in the main documentation.

1848PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1849
6a3bceb1
PH
1850PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1851 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1852 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1853 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1854 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1855 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1856 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1857 for iplsearch lookups.
1858
1859 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1860 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1861 previously such lookups could never work.
1862
4c04137d 1863 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
1864 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1865 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1870MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1871 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1872 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1873 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1874 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1875 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
1880MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1881 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1882 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1883 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1884 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1885 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2068PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2069 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2071 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2072 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2073 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2074 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2148 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2149 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2150 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2151 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2152 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2153 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2154 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2155 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2166PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2167 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2168
2169 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2170 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2171
2172 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2173 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2174 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2175
2176 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2177 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2178 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2179 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2180 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2197 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

PH
2224PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2225 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2226 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2227 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2228 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2229 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2230 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2231 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2232 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2233 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2234 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2268PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2270 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2271 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2272 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2273 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2274 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2275 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2278 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2279 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2280 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2281 function.
2282 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2283 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2284 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2285 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2286 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2287 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2288 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2289 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2290 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2297 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2298 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2299 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2300 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2301 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2302 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2311 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2312 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2313 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2314 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2315 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2316 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2317 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2318 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2319 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2320 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2322PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2323 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2324 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2325 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2326 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2327 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2328 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2330PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2331 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2332 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2333 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2334 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2335 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2336 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2337 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2338 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2339 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

2341PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2343 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2344 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2345 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

2347PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2348 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2349 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2350 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2351 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2352 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2353 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2358 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2359 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2360 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2361 been verified.

2392
2393PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2394 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2395 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2396 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2397 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2398 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2399 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2400 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2401 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2402
2403 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2404 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2405 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2406 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2407 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2408 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2409 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2410 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2411 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2412
2413 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2414 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2415 hammering the server.

2433 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2434 fails.
2435
48c7f9e2
PH
2436PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2437 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2438 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2439 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2440 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
2441 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2442 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2443 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2444 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2445 smtp transport.

2713PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
2714 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
2715 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2716 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2717 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2718 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2719 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2720 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2721 451 error is used.

2743PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash

2746 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
2747 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an

2757PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2758 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2759 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2760 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2761 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2762 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2763 addresses as local.

2805 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
2806 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
2807 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
2808 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a

2841 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2842 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2843 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2844 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2845 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2846 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2847 values from the SRV records were lost.

2849PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

2856
727071f8
PH
2857PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2858 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2859 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2860 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2861 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2862 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2863 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2864 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2865 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

2962PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put

2965 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2966 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2967 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2968 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2969 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2970 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

3011 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3012 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3013
3014 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3015 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3016 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3017
3018PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3019 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the

3078PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being
3079 honoured for bounces generated during the reception of non-SMTP messages.
3080 In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
3081 been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
3082 body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
3083 include only those that have been read before the error was detected.
3084 (In the case of an ACL rejection, they have all been read.)

3086PH/69 The HTML version of the specification is now built in a directory called

3092PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3093 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3094 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3095 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3096 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3097 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3098 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3099 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3100 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3101 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3102 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3116
3117 (2) Add control=submission to the relay_from_hosts and authenticated
3118 clients checks, on the grounds that messages accepted by these
3119 statements are most likely to be submissions.

3121PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck:
3122
3123 (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is
3124 not a single digit.
3125
3126 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
3127 string.
3128
3129 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
3130 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
3131 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3132 silly things.
3133
3134 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
3135 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
3136
3137 (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result
3138 inside the third argument.

3147PH/05 When a filter generated an autoreply, the entire To: header line was
3148 quoted in the delivery log line, like this:
3149
3150 => >A.N.Other <ano@some.domain> <original@ddress> ...
3151
3152 This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There
3153 may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like
3154 this:
3155
3156 => >ano@some.domain,ona@other.domain <original@ddress> ...

PH
3158PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
3159 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
3160 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
3161 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3162 identical. For example:
3163
3164 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3165
3166 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
3167 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
3168 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

3170PH/07 When both +timestamp and +memory debugging was on, the value given by
3171 $tod_xxx expansions could be wrong, because the tod_stamp() function was

3173 Debugging no longer uses the tod_stamp() function when +timestamp is set.

3194PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to

3196
3197 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
3198
3199 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
4c04137d 3200 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP messages, there was
456682f5
PH
3201 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
3202 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
3203 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3204
3205 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3206
3207 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3208
3209 The auto-replied keyword:
3210
3211 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3212 message by an automatic process,
3213
3214 - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
3215
3216 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
3217 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),
3218
3219 - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic
3220 processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to
3221 other messages.

3242PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve
3243 extension "envelope-auth". The code is finished and in agreement with
3244 other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact,
3245 nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
3246 not changing the active code.
3247
3248 Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This
3249 helps a great deal to understand what a filter does.

PH
3257PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3258 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3259 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3260 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3261 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3262 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3263 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3264 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3265 the text comparison.
3266
96776534
PH
3267PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
3268 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
3269 form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
3270 The same fix has been applied.
