6JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination
7 supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one).

JH
9JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten
10 years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs
11 acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime.
12
4b0fe319
JH
13JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
14 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
15 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
16 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
17 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
18 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
19 if one fails this test.
20 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
21 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

JH
41JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16
42 and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request
43 it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
44 client dropping the TLS connection.

49TF/02 Improve the consistency of logging incoming and outgoing interfaces.
50 The I= interface field on outgoing lines is now after the H= remote
51 host field, same as incoming lines. There is a separate
52 outgoing_interface log selector which allows you to disable the
53 outgoing I= field.
54
c8899c20
JH
55JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
56 If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
57 open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
58 deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
59 leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
60 check on the next write.

62HS/01 Bug 1671: Fix post transport crash.
63 Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
64 process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
65 using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
66 file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.

73 to HELO, local diagnostic string.
74

JH
75JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from
76 log line to debug. Even when configured with a tls authenticator many
77 client connections are expected to not authenticate in this way, so
78 an authenticate fail is not an error.

JH
86JH/07 Bug 1678: Always record an interface option value, if set, as part of a

89 distinct.

JH
115JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
116 defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built
117 with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testuite sane.
118 If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
119 logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably
120 they will retry in-clear.
121 Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
122 at installation time.
123
240c288f
JH
124HS/03 Add -bP config_file as a synonym for -bP configure_file, for consistency
125 with the $config_file variable.

JB
127JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
128 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
129 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
130 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
131 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx reponse.

133GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
134 to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
135 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
136 installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
137 result is that the running daemon panics and dies.

f444c2c7
JH
177JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM
178 support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones. This means DKIM is
07c73177
JH
179 only supported when built with TLS support. The PolarSSL SHA routines
180 are still used when the TLS library is too old for convenient support.

07c73177 186JH/36 Bug 1778: longstanding bug in memory use by the ${run } expansion: A fresh

192
1bc460a6
JH
193JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was
194 incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a
195 body-termination at the receiving system - resulting in truncated mails.
62ac2eb7 196 Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message
1bc460a6
JH
197 via the normal store-and-forward channel. This could result in duplicates
198 received - but deduplicating mailstores were liable to retain only the
199 initial truncated version.

360Exim version 4.85
361-----------------
362TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
363 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
364 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
365 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
366 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
367 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
368 the script parsing/test process like normal.

395JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process. Several recipients, combined
396 with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split
397 over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly. This eventually
398 resulted in duplicates being sent. This issue only became common enough
399 to notice due to the introduction of conection certificate information,
400 the item size being so much larger. Found and fixed by Wolfgang Breyha.

725TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
726
727 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
728 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
729 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
730 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
731 the retry rules.
732
733 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
734 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
735 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
736
737 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
738 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
739 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
740 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
741
1ddeb334
TF
742 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
743 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
744 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
745 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
746 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
747 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
748 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
749
750 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
751 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

791 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

1073TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1074 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1075 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1076
1077 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1078 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1079 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1080 not safe for signals.
1081
1082 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1083 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1084 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1085 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1086 exiwhat.
1087
c99ce5c9
TF
1088TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1089
1090 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1091 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1092 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1093 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
1094 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
1095
1096 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1097 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1098 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1099 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1100 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1101 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1102
1103 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1104 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1105 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1106 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1107
1108 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1109 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1110 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1111 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1112
1113 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1114 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1115 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1116 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1117 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1118 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1119 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1120 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1121 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1122
1123 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1124 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1125 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1126 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1127
1128 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1129 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1130 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1131 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1132 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1133 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1134 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1135 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1136 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1137 details in the main documentation.

1686
1687 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1688 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
1689 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
1690 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
1691 build errors in sieve.c.

1706Exim version 4.68
1707-----------------
1708
1709PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1710
6a3bceb1
PH
1711PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1712 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1713 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1714 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1715 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1716 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1717 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1718 for iplsearch lookups.
1719
1720 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1721 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1722 previously such lookups could never work.
1723
1724 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1725 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1726 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
1727

MH
1731MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1732 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1733 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1734 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1735 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1736 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
1741MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1742 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1743 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1744 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1745 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1746 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1819PH/02 In an ACL statement such as

1821 deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
1822
1823 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
1824 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
1825 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
1826 The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second
1827 item. This has been fixed.

PH
1929PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1930 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
1931 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
1932 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1933 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1934 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1935 pipelining has not been advertised.

1950 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
1951 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
1952 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
1953 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

2011 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2012 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2013 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2014 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2015 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim

2027PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2028 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2029
2030 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2031 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2032
2033 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2034 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2035 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2036
2037 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2038 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2039 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2040 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2041 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2058 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

PH
2085PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2086 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2087 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2088 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2089 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2090 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2091 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2092 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2093 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2094 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2095 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2129PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2131 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2132 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2133 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2134 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2135 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host

14aa5a05
PH
2140 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2141 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2142 function.
2143 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2144 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2145 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2146 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2147 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2148 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2149 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2150 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2151 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2157 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2158 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2159 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2160 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2161 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2162 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2163 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

322050c2
PH
2169PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2170 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2171 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2172 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2173 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2174 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2175 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2176 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2177 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2178 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2179 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2180 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2181 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2183PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2184 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2185 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2186 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2187 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2188 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2189 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2191PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2192 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2193 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2194 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2195 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2196 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2197 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2198 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2199 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2200 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
2202PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2204 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2205 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2206 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2208PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2209 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2210 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2211 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2212 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2213 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2214 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2219 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2220 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2221 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2222 been verified.

PH
2253
2254PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2255 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2256 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2257 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2258 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2259 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2260 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2261 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2262 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2263
2264 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2265 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2266 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2267 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2268 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2269 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2270 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2271 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2272 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2273
2274 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2275 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2276 hammering the server.

2291PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2292 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

2294 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2295 fails.
2296
48c7f9e2
PH
2297PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2298 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2299 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2300 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
2301 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
2302 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2303 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2304 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2305 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2306 smtp transport.

2576 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2577 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2578 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2579 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2580 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2581 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

2667 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2704 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2705 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2706 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding

2708 values from the SRV records were lost.

2721 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2722 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2723 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2724 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2725 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2726 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2823PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2824 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2825 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2826 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2827 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2828 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2829 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2830 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2831 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2832 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

2869
2870 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2871 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2872 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2873 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2874
2875 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2876 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2877 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2878
2879PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2880 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2881 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2882 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

2953PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2954 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2955 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2956 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2957 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2958 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2959 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2960 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2961 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2962 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2963 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2992 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2993 silly things.

3023 identical. For example:
3024
3025 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])

3121 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3122 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3123 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3124 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3125 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3126 the text comparison.

PH
3128PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
3129 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
3130 form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
3131 The same fix has been applied.

3146PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-"
3147 header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929.
3148 Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as
3149 non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated
3150 anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.)

3152TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax
3153 errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option
3154 now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters
3155 but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain
3156 or /domain=).

PH
3173PH/03 When creating an mbox file for a virus/spam scan, use fseek() instead of
3174 fread() to skip over the body file's header line, because in Cygwin the
3175 header line is locked and is inaccessible.

PH
3177PH/04 Added $message_exim_id, ultimately to replace $message_id (they will both
3178 co-exist for some time) to make it clear that it is the Exim ID that is
3179 referenced, not the Message-ID: header line.

PH
3205PH/12 There was a missing call to search_tidyup() before the fork() in rda.c to
3206 run a filter in a subprocess. This could lead to confusion in subsequent
3207 lookups in the parent process. There should also be a search_tidyup() at
3208 the end of the subprocess.

PH
3210PH/13 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true
3211 only if the host matched helo_try_verify_hosts, which caused the
3212 verification to occur when the EHLO/HELO command was issued. The ACL just
3213 tested the remembered result. Now, if a previous verification attempt has
3214 not happened, "verify = helo" does it there and then.

3233PH/20 If a delivery was routed to a non-standard port by means of an SRV

3243PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius
3244 authentication with radiusclient 0.4.9:
3245
3246 - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
3247 - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.
3248
3249 The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17
3250 were not taken care of correctly. The code is still untested by me (my
3251 Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of radiusclient), but it was
3252 contributed by a Radius user.

3267PH/26 Exim was recognizing IPv6 addresses of the form [IPv6:....] in EHLO

3270 header lines when this was not necessary.

3274PH/28 Exim tries to create and chdir to its spool directory when it starts;

3304PH/36 When a locally submitted message by a trusted user did not contain a
3305 From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP
3306 MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender
3307 name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From:
3308 header. Furthermore, $originator_name was used for submission mode
3309 messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way,
3310 which is clearly wrong.
