6-----------------

8TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
9
10 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
11 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
12 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
13 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
14 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
15 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

233TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
234
235 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
236 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
237 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
238 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
239 the retry rules.
240
241 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
242 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
243 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
244
245 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
246 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
247 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
248 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
249
1ddeb334
TF
250 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
251 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
252 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
253 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
254 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
255 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
256 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
257
258 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
259 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

261TF/02 Correct gecos expansion when From: is a prefix of the username.
262
263 Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header
264
265 Resent-From: f
266
267 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
268 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
269 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
270 username as equal to the username.
271
272 This change corrects that bug.

293JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
294 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
295 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
296 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
297 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
298 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
299 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
300 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
301 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
302 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
303 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

581TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
582 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
583 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
584
585 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
586 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
587 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
588 not safe for signals.
589
590 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
591 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
592 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
593 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
594 exiwhat.
595
c99ce5c9
TF
596TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
597
598 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
599 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
600 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
601 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
602 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
603
604 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
605 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
606 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
607 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
608 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
609 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
610
611 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
612 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
613 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
614 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
615
616 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
617 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
618 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
619 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
620
621 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
622 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
623 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
624 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
625 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
626 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
627 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
628 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
629 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
630
631 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
632 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
633 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
634 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
635
636 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
637 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
638 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
639 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
640 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
641 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
642 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
643 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
644 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
645 details in the main documentation.

1195 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1196 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
1197 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
1198 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
1199 build errors in sieve.c.

PH
1219PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1220 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1221 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1222 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1223 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1224 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1225 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1226 for iplsearch lookups.
1227
1228 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1229 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1230 previously such lookups could never work.
1231
1232 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1233 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1234 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

1239MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1240 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1241 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1242 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1243 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1244 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1249MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1250 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1251 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1252 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1253 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry

1437PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1438 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

1440 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1441 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1442 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1443 pipelining has not been advertised.

1458 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
1459 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

PH
1517 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1518 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1519 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1520 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1521 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1522 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1523 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1524 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1535PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
1536 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1537
1538 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1539 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1540
1541 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1542 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1543 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1544
1545 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1546 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1547 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1548 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1549 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1580TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
1581 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
1582 triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
1583
1584TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
1585 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
1586 hence the _LINUX specificness.

1588TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,
1589 there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any
1590 header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
1591 in the field name.

PH
1593PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1594 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1595 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1596 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1597 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1598 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1599 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1600 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1601 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1602 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1603 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

1637PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
1638 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
1639 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
1640 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
1641 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
1642 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
1643 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
1644 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 1646PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 1647 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
1648 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
1649 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
1650 function.
1651 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
1652 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
1653 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
1654 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
1655 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
1656 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
1657 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
1658 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
1659 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

1664PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
1665 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
1666 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
1667 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
1668 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
1669 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
1670 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
1671 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

1674 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
1675 list.
1676
322050c2
PH
1677PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
1678 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
1679 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
1680 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
1681 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
1682 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
1683 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
1684 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
1685 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
1686 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
1687 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
1688 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
1689 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
1691PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
1692 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
1693 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
1694 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
1695 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
1696 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
1697 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
1699PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
1700 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
1701 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
1702 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
1703 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
1704 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
1705 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
1706 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
1707 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
1708 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
1710PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
1711 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
1712 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
1713 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
1714 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

411ef850
PH
1716PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
1717 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
1718 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
1719 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
1720 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
1721 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
1722 RSA_EXPORT functionality.
1723
7befa435
PH
1724PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
1725 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
1726 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
1727 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
1728 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
1729 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
1730 been verified.

1761
1762PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
1763 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
1764 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
1765 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
1766 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
1767 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
1768 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
1769 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
1770 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
1771
1772 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
1773 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
1774 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
1775 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
1776 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
1777 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
1778 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
1779 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
1780 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
1781
1782 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
1783 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
1784 hammering the server.

PH
1799PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
1800 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
1801 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
1802 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
1803 fails.
1804
48c7f9e2
PH
1805PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
1806 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
1807 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
1808 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
1809 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
1810 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
1811 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
1812 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
1813 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
1814 smtp transport.

2082PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
2083 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
2084 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2085 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2086 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2087 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2088 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2089 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2090 451 error is used.

2115 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox

2126PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2127 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2128 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2129 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2130 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2131 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2132 addresses as local.

2173 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
2174 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
2175 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
2176 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
2177 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a

2195 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
2196 changes:
2197
2198 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2199 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2200 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
2201
2202 (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,
2203 outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs
2204 the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.

2209PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
2210 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2211 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2212 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2213 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2214 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2215 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2216 values from the SRV records were lost.

ea49d0e1
PH
2218PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

727071f8
PH
2226PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2227 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2228 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2229 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2230 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2231 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2232 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2233 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2234 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

2331PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put

2334 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2335 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2336 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2337 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2338 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2339 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

2349 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
2350 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
2351 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
2352 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
2353 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
2354 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
2355 the variable.

2375PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
2376 used in LMTP mode:
2377
2378 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2379 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2380 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2381 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2382
2383 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2384 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2385 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2386
2387PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2388 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2389 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2390 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
2391 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

2461PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2462 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2463 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2464 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2465 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2466 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2467 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2468 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2469 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2470 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2471 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2494
2495 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
2496 string.
2497
2498 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2499 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2500 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2501 silly things.
2502
2503 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
2504 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

2527PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2528 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2529 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2530 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2531 identical. For example:
2532
2533 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2534
2535 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2536 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2537 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2565
2566 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
2567
2568 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
2569 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
2570 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
2571 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
2572 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
2573
2574 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
2575
2576 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
2577
2578 The auto-replied keyword:

2628 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
2629 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
2630 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
2631 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
2632 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
2633 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
2634 the text comparison.

2932 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
2933 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
2934 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
2935 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
2936 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.

2941 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
2942 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
2943 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

3019 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
3020 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks

3154 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3155 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3156 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3157 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3158 file.
3159
3160PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3161 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3162 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3163 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3164 these two options.
3165
3166PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3167 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3168 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3169 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3170 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3171 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3172 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3173 address.

3174
3175PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
3176 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
3177
3178PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3179 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3180 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3181 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3182 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3183 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
3184
3185PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
3186 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
3187 commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
3188 SMTP commands that take arguments.

3218PH/15 Further to TK/02 and TK/03 above, tidied up the tables of what conditions
3219 and controls are allowed in which ACLs. There were a couple of minor
3220 errors. Some of the entries in the conditions table (which is a table of
3221 where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a
3222 negation of where the condition IS allowed.

3229 API. The code is untested by me (my Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of
3230 radiusclient), but it was contributed by a Radius user.

PH
3235PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
3236 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
3237 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
3238 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3239 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
3240 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
3241 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
3242 for failure.

PH
3244PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
3245 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
3246 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
3247 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
3248 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
3249 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
3250 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
3251 "input=".

3258PH/23 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was expanding server_hostname, but then
3259 forgetting to use the resulting value; it was using the unexpanded value.
3260
c5ddb310
PH
3261PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
3262 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
3263 understands it better than I do:
3264
3265 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
3266 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
3267
3268 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
3269 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
3270 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
3271 => three warnings about OTP not working
3272 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
3273
3274 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
3275 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
3276 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
3277 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
3278 for each call.)
3279 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
3280 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
3281
3282 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
3283 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
3284 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

3294PH/27 $acl_verify_message is now set immediately after the failure of a

3298 warn !verify = sender
3299 set acl_m0 = $acl_verify_message

PH
3315PH/30 In these circumstances:
3316 . Two addresses routed to the same list of hosts;
3317 . First host does not offer TLS;
3318 . First host accepts first address;
3319 . First host gives temporary error to second address;
3320 . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established;
3321 . Second host accepts second address.
3322 Exim incorrectly logged both deliveries with the TLS parameters (cipher
3323 and peerdn, if requested) that were in fact used only for the second
3324 address.

3326PH/31 When doing a callout as part of verifying an address, Exim was not paying
3327 attention to any local part prefix or suffix that was matched by the

3329 does for delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless
3330 rcpt_include_affixes is set on the transport.

PH
3348PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
3349 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
3350 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
3351 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
3352 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
3353 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
3354 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
3355
3356 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
3357 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
3358 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
3359 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
3360 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
3361
3362 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
3363 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
3364 routed further.
