22JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
23 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
24 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
25 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
26 input.

28JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
29 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
30 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
31 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
32 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
33 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
34 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
35 Main pool for expansions.
36 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
37 active in the testsuite.
38 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.

40JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
41 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
42 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
43 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
44 round-robin DNS.

52-----------------

54JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
55 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
56 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
57 pairs of long lines into single ones.

64

JH
65JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
66 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
67 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
68 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
69 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 70 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

JH
83JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
84 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
85 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
86 client, there is no benefit for these.
87 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
88 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
89 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
90 is used (3.2.4 +).

102JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a

105 signature and again for transmission.

111JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
112 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
113 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
114 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
115 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
116 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
117 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
118

JH
119JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
120 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
121 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 122 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.

PP
124PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
125 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
126 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
127 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
128 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
129 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
130 processing options.
131
a5ffa9b4
JH
132JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
133 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
134 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
135 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
136 connections.

372JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
373 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
374 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
375 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
376 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
377 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
378 if one fails this test.
379 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
380 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1194TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1195
1196 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1197 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1198 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1199 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1200 the retry rules.
1201
1202 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1203 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1204 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1205
1206 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1207 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1208 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1209 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1210
1ddeb334
TF
1211 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1212 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1213 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1214 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1215 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1216 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1217 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1218
1219 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1220 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1228 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1229 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1230 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1231 username as equal to the username.

1260 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

1542TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1543 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1544 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1545
1546 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1547 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1548 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1549 not safe for signals.
1550
1551 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1552 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1553 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1554 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies

1557TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1558
1559 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1560 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1561 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1562 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1563 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1564
1565 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1566 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1567 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1568 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1569 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1570 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1571
1572 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1573 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1574 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1575 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1576
1577 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1578 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1579 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1580 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1581
1582 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1583 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1584 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1585 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1586 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1587 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1588 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1589 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1590 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1591
1592 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1593 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1594 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1595 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1596
1597 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1598 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1599 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1600 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1601 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1602 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1603 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1604 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1605 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1606 details in the main documentation.

2157 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2177
2178PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2179
6a3bceb1
PH
2180PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2181 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2182 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2183 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2184 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2185 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2186 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2187 for iplsearch lookups.
2188
2189 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2190 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2191 previously such lookups could never work.
2192
4c04137d 2193 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2194 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2195 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2200MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2201 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2202 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2203 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2204 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2205 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
2210MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2211 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2212 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2213 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2214 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2215 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2398PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2399 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2400 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2401 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2402 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2403 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2404 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2478 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2479 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2480 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2481 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2482 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2483 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2484 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2485 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2496PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2497 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2498
2499 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2500 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2501
2502 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2503 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2504 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2505
2506 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2507 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2508 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2509 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2510 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2526 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2527 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2528 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2529 rather than extend the field.

PH
2554PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2555 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2556 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2557 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2558 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2559 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2560 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2561 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2562 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2563 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2564 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2598PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2600 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2601 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2602 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2603 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2604 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2605 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2608 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2609 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2610 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2611 function.
2612 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2613 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2614 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2615 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2616 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2617 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2618 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2619 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2620 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2626 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2627 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2628 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2629 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2630 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2631 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2632 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2637
322050c2
PH
2638PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2639 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2640 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2641 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2642 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2643 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2644 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2645 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2646 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2647 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2648 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2649 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2650 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2653 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2654 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2655 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2656 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2657 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2658 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2660PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2661 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2662 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2663 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2664 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2665 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2666 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2667 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2668 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2669 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
2671PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2674 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2675 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2677PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a

2679 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2680 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2681 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2682 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2683 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2688 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2689 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2690 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has

2722
2723PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2724 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2725 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2726 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2727 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2728 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2729 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2730 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2731 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2732
2733 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2734 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2735 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2736 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2737 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2738 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2739 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2740 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2741 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2742
2743 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2744 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2745 hammering the server.

2763 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2764 fails.
2765
48c7f9e2
PH
2766PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2767 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2768 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2769 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2770 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
2771 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2772 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2773 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2774 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2775 smtp transport.

3048 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3049 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

3085-----------------
3086
3087PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3088 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3089 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3090 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3091 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3092 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3093 addresses as local.

3102 lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
3103 invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
3104 newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
3105 grumble.

3134 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3135 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3136 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3137 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3138 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a

3156 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
3157 changes:
3158
3159 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
3160 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
4c04137d 3161 suitable debugging output when -d is set.
59e82a2a

3170PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3171 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3172 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3173 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3174 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3175 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3176 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3177 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
3179PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

3183PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from

3185 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
3186
727071f8
PH
3187PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3188 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3189 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3190 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3191 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3192 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3193 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3194 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3195 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3292PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3293 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3294 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3295 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3296 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3297 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3298 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3299 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3300 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3301 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3313 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3314 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the

3338
3339 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3340 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3341 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3342 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3343
3344 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3345 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3346 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3347
3348PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3349 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3350 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3351 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

3422PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3423 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3424 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3425 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3426 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3427 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3428 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3429 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3430 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3431 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3432 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3488PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
3489 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
3490 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
3491 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3492 identical. For example:
3493
3494 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3495
3496 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
3497 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
3498 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

3524PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to

3527 Auto-submitted: auto-generated

456682f5
PH
3531 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
3532 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
3533 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3534
3535 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3536
3537 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3538
3539 The auto-replied keyword:
3540
3541 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3542 message by an automatic process,
3543

3547 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),

3587PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3588 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3589 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3590 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3591 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3592 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3593 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3594 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3595 the text comparison.

PH
3597PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was

4c04137d 3895 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were

3899PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
3900 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
3901 write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
3902 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
3903 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
3904 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

3980 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
3981 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
3982 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim

3984 falls back to the previous guessing code."

4043 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it

4112
4113PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4114 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4115 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4116 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4117 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4118 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4119 file.
4120
4121PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4122 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4123 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4124 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4125 these two options.
4126
4127PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4128 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4129 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4130 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4131 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4132 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4133 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4134 address.

PH
4135
4136PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T

4138
4139PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4140 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4141 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4142 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4143 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4144 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4145
4146PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

4197 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
4198 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4199 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4200 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4201 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4202 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check

4208 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4209 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1

c5ddb310
PH
4222PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4223 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4224 understands it better than I do:
4225
4226 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4227 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4228
4229 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4230 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4231 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4232 => three warnings about OTP not working
4233 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4234
4235 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4236 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4237 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4238 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4239 for each call.)
4240 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4241 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4242
4243 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4244 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still

4276PH/30 In these circumstances:
4277 . Two addresses routed to the same list of hosts;
4278 . First host does not offer TLS;
4279 . First host accepts first address;
4280 . First host gives temporary error to second address;
4281 . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established;
4282 . Second host accepts second address.
4283 Exim incorrectly logged both deliveries with the TLS parameters (cipher
4284 and peerdn, if requested) that were in fact used only for the second
4285 address.

4287PH/31 When doing a callout as part of verifying an address, Exim was not paying
4288 attention to any local part prefix or suffix that was matched by the

4290 does for delivery: the affixes are removed from the local part unless

d7174846
PH
4309PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4310 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4311 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4312 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4313 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4314 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4315 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4316
4317 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4318 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4319 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4320 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4321 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4322
4323 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4324 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4325 routed further.

4328 It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
4329 background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
4330 connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
4331 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
4332 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

4347 bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which

4351 (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
4352 (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
4353 (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
4354 (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
4355
4356 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
4357 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
4358 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

4366PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
4367 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
4368 writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
4369 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4370 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4371 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4372 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4373 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4374 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
4375 the log output.

4384A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4385----------------------------------------
4386
4387Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4388changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4389needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4390in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4391that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4392release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4393from 4.43.
4394
4395I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
43964.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4397those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4398historical information.

4404 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file.

4409 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The

4411 place.

4413 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4414 filter fails to execute.

b668c215
PH
4416 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4417 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4418 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4419 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4420 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

PH
4422 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
4423
4424 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4425 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4426 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4427 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

4429 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4430 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4431 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4432 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4433 control that does not make sense is encountered.

PH
444412. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4445 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4446 sender verification.

PH
447422. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4475 ignore_target_hosts.
4476
447723. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4478 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4479 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4480 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4481 "[x.x.x.x]".
4482
7d468ab8
PH
448324. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4484 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4485 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4486
448725. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4488 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4489 wake it up if nothing else does.
4490
62c0818f
PH
449126. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4492 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4493 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4494 end up negative.
4495
26034054
PH
449627. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4497 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.

PH
449928. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
4500
90af77f4
PH
450129. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4502 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4503 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4504 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4505 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4506 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4507 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4508 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
4509
d8ef3577
PH
451030. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
4511 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
4512 than one IP address.
4513
5cb8cbc6
PH
451431. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4515 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
4516 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
4517 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
4518
14702f5b
PH
451932. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4520 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4521 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4522 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4523 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4524 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4525
063b1e99
PH
452633. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4527 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4528 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4529 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4530
652e1b65
PH
453134. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4532 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4533 respected.
4534
6f0c9a4f
PH
453535. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4536 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4537 $sender_host_address.
4538
33397d19
PH
453936. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4540 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4541 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4542 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4543 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4544 very small.
4545
7bb56e1f
PH
454637. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
4547
4548 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
4549 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
4550
ea3bc19b
PH
4551 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
4552 just the host names, not the priorities.
4553
4554 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
4555 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
4556 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 4557
ea3bc19b 4558 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 4559 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 4560
0bcb2a0e
PH
456138. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
4562 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
4563 domain.

PH
457041. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails

4572 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.

4581 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4582 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4583 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4584 because the tests only now provoked it.

PH
460852. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4609 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4610 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4611 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4612 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4613 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4614 is going on).

4619 the line.

PH
462154. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
4622 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
4623 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
4624
4625 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
4626 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
4627 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
4628 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
4629 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
4630 so I produce this patch..."
4631
3295e65b
PH
4632 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
4633 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
4634 is not defined.

PH
463655. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4637 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
4638 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4639 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

PH
464758. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep

PH
465059. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
4651
4652 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
4653 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
4654 of $primary_hostname.
4655
b975ba52
PH
465660. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4657 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4658 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4659 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
4660 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4661 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4662 by change 4.50/55 above.
4663
4664 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4665 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4666 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4667 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4668 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4669 running as the user.

PH
4671
467261. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4673 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
4674 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 4675 CAN-2005-0022

PH
467762. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
4678 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
4679
d95f9fdb
PH
468063. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4681 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4682 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
4683 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
4684 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
4685
86b8287f
PH
468664. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
4687 This has been fixed.
4688
60dc5e56
PH
468965. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
4690 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
4691 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4692 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4693 the caching.)
4694
533244af
PH
469566. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
4696
a5a28604
PH
469767. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
4698 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
4699 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
4700 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
4701
7e634d24
PH
470268. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
4703 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
4704
3e11c26b
PH
470569. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
4706 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
4707 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
4708
6729cf78
PH
470970. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
4710 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
4711 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
4712 message there.
4713
00f00ca5
PH
471471. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
4715 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
4716 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
4717
c9bdd01c
PH
471872. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
4719 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
4720 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
4721 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
4722
d43194df
PH
472373. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
4724 during host lookups.
4725
fe5b5d0b
PH
472674. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
4727 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
4728
4729 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
4730
76a2d7ba
PH
473175. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
4732 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
4733 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
4734 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
4735 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
4736 background.
4737
473876. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
4739 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
4740
04f7d5b9
PH
474177. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
4742 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
4743 for the non-SMTP ACL.
4744
bc60667e
PH
474578. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
4746
bb6e88ff
PH
474779. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
4748 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
4749 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
4750 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
4751 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
4752 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
4753 process earlier.
4754
1e70f85b
PH
475580. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
4756 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
4757 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
4758 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
4759 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
4760
476181. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
4762 tables).

4775----------------------------------------------------
4776See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
4777----------------------------------------------------
4778
4779
4780Exim version 4.44
4781-----------------
4782
4783 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
4784 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
4785 transport
4786
4787 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
4788 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
4789 place.
4790
4791 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
4792 filter fails to execute.
4793
4794 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4795 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4796 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4797 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4798 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
4799
4800 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4801 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4802 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4803 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
4804
4805 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4806 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4807 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4808 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4809 control that does not make sense is encountered.
4810
4811 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
4812
4813 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
4814 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
4815 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
4816 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
4817
4818 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
4819 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
4820 sender verification.
4821
482210. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
4823 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
4824
482511. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
4826 the spool by the -Mrm option.
4827
482812. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4829 ignore_target_hosts.
4830
483113. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4832 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4833 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4834 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4835 "[x.x.x.x]".
4836
483714. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4838 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4839 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4840
484115. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4842 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4843 wake it up if nothing else does.
4844
484516. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4846 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4847 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4848 end up negative.
4849
485017. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
4851 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
4852
ea3a6f44 485318. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
4854
485519. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
4856 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
4857 empty pattern.
4858
485920. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
4860 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
4861 one IP address.
4862
ea3a6f44
NM
486321. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4864 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4865 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4866 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4867 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4868 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 4869
ea3a6f44
NM
487022. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4871 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4872 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
4873
487423. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
4875 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
4876 $sender_host_address.
4877
487824. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
4879
ea3a6f44
NM
488025. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
4881 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
4882 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
4883
488426. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 4885 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 4886
ea3a6f44
NM
488727. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
4888 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 4889
ea3a6f44
NM
489028. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
4891 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
4892 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
4893 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
4894
489529. eximstats updated to version 1.35
4896 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
4897 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
4898
ea3a6f44
NM
489930. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
4900 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
4901 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
4902 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 4903
ea3a6f44
NM
490431. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
4905 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
4906 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 4907
ea3a6f44
NM
490831. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
4909 autoreply.
bbe902f0 4910
ea3a6f44
NM
491132. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4912 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4913 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4914 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4915 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4916 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4917 is going on).
bbe902f0 4918
ea3a6f44
NM
491933. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4920 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
4921 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4922 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0
PH
4923 CAN-2005-0021
4924
ea3a6f44
NM
492534. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4926 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4927 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4928 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
4929 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
4930 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
4931 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
4932
4933 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
4934 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
4935 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
4936 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
4937 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
4938 running as the user.
bbe902f0

4939 CAN-2005-0021
4940
ea3a6f44
NM
494135. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
4942 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
4943 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
bbe902f0

4944 CAN-2005-0022

494636. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
4947 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
4948 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is

4954 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
4955 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
4956 the caching.)

495838. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
4959 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
4960 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
4961 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
4962 because the tests only now provoked it.

4965Exim version 4.43
4966-----------------
4967
4968 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
4969 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
4970 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
4971 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
4972 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
4973 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
4974 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
4975
4976 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
4977 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
4978 the delivery.
4979
4980 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
4981
4982 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
4983
4984 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
4985 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
4986 to local_scan().
4987
4988 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
4989 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
4990 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
4991 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
4992 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
4993
4994 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
4995 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
4996
4997 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
4998
4999 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5000
500110. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5002 header_sender only.
5003
500411. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5005 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5006
500712. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5008 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5009 affecting debugging statements).
5010
501113. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5012
501314. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5014 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5015 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5016 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5017 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5018 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5019 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5020 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5021 after the received time, and all would be well.
5022
502315. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5024 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5025 condition in an expansion string.
5026
502716. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5028
502917. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5030 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5031 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5032 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5033 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5034 job under whatever limits there are.
5035
503618. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5037
503819. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5039 space).
5040
504120. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5042 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5043 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5044 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5045 return path is set.
5046
504721. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5048 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5049 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5050 binary data in such strings.
5051
505222. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5053
505423. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5055 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5056 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5057 failure, which is pointless.
5058
505924. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5060
506125. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5062
506326. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5064 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5065 Sender: header lines.
5066
506727. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5068 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5069 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5070
507128. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5072 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5073 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5074 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5075 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5076 happens.
5077
507829. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5079 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5080 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5081 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5082 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5083
508430. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5085 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5086 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5087 1024.
5088
508931. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5090 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5091
509232. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5093 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5094
509533. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5096
509732. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5098
509933. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5100
510134. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5102 syntax error.
5103
510435. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5105
510636. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5107
510837. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5109 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5110 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5111 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5112
511338. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5114 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5115
5116
5117Exim version 4.42
5118-----------------
5119
5120 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5121 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5122 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5123 it was not quoted.
5124 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5125 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5126 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5127 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5128 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5129 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5130
5131 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5132 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5133 verification failure".
5134
5135 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5136 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5137 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5138 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5139
5140 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5141 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5142 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5143 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5144 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5145 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5146 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5147 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5148 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5149 treated as a timeout.
5150
5151 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5152 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5153 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5154 not set for Exim filters).
5155
5156 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5157 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5158 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5159
5160 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5161
5162 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5163 try to make them clearer.
5164
5165 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5166 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5167
5168 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5169
5170 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5171
517210. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5173 only the Cygwin environment.
5174
517511. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5176 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5177 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5178 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5179 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5180
518112. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5182 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5183 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5184 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5185 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5186 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5187 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5188
518913. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5190 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5191
519214. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5193
5194 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5195 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5196 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5197
5198 To: susanne@some.where
5199
5200 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5201 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5202 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5203 of addresses in From: header lines).
5204
5205 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5206 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5207 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5208
5209 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5210 treated as non-personal.
5211
5212 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5213 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5214
521515. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5216
521716. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5218
521917. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5220 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5221 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5222
522318. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5224 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5225
522619. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5227 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5228 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5229 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5230 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5231 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5232
523320. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5234 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5235 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5236 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5237 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5238 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5239 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5240 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5241
5242 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5243
524421. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5245 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5246
524722. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5248 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5249 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5250
525123. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5252 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5253
525424. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5255 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5256 rather than long int.
5257
525825. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5259
526026. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5261
5262
5263Exim version 4.41
5264-----------------
5265
5266 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5267 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5268 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5269 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5270 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5271 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5272
5273
5274Exim version 4.40
5275-----------------
5276
5277 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5278 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5279
5280 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5281 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5282 socklen_t is defined.
5283
5284 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5285 always exist.
5286
5287 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5288 configured.
5289
5290 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5291 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5292 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5293 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5294 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5295
5296 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5297 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5298 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5299 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5300
5301 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5302 of flapping under certain conditions.
5303
5304 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5305 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5306 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5307
5308 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5309
531010. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5311
531211. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5313 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5314 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5315 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5316
531712. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5318 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5319 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5320 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5321 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5322 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5323 preserved with the message after it was received.
5324
532513. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5326 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5327 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5328 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5329 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5330 test suite worked just fine.
5331
533214. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5333 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5334 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5335
533615. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5337 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5338 string.
5339
534016. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5341 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5342 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5343 does not fully solve it.
5344
534517. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5346 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5347 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5348 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5349 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5350
535118. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5352 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5353 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5354
535519. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5356 string, for example:
5357
5358 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5359
5360 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5361 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5362 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5363 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5364 the routers could not see them.
5365
536620. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5367 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5368
536921. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5370 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5371 output).
5372
537322. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5374 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5375 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5376 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5377 that needed quoting.
5378
537923. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5380 was not being matched caselessly.
5381
538224. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5383 backslashes.
5384
538525. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5386 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5387 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5388 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5389 when use_sender is false.
5390
539126. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5392
539327. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5394
539528. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5396
539729. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5398 the configuration file.
5399
540030. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5401 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5402
540331. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5404
540532. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5406 bytes in the message body.
5407
540833. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5409 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5410 delivery.
5411
541234. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5413
541435. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5415
541636. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5417 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5418 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5419 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5420 another IP address.
5421
5422
5423Exim version 4.34
5424-----------------
5425
5426 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5427 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5428
5429 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5430 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5431 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5432 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5433 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5434
5435 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5436 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5437
5438 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5439 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5440 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5441
5442 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5443 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5444 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5445
5446 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5447 for routers.
5448
5449 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5450 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5451 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5452 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5453 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5454 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5455 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5456
5457
5458Exim version 4.33
5459-----------------
5460
5461 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5462 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5463 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5464 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5465 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5466 default (and expected) setting.
5467
5468 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5469 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5470 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5471 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5472
5473 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5474 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5475
5476 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5477 in domain lists.
5478
5479 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5480 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5481 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5482 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5483 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5484 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5485
5486 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5487 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5488 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5489
5490 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5491 part (NOT match_host).
5492
5493 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5494
5495 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5496 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5497 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5498 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5499 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5500 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5501 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5502 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5503 the same named file.
5504
550510. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5506 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5507 when Exim is built.
5508
550911. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5510 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5511 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5512 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5513 a host name.
5514
551512. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5516 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5517 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5518
551913. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5520
552114. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5522
552315. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5524
552516. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5526 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5527
552817. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5529 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5530 before starting the TLS session.
5531
553218. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5533
553419. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5535 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5536
553720. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5538 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5539 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5540 colon in the middle).
5541
5542
5543Exim version 4.32
5544-----------------
5545
5546 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5547 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5548 multiple configurations are in use.
5549
5550 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5551 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5552 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5553 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5554 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5555 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5556
5557 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5558 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5559
5560 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5561 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5562 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5563
5564 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5565 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5566 occurs.
5567
5568 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
5569 that used bh_ and bheader_.
5570
5571 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
5572
5573 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
5574 allowing one more file than it should have been.
5575
5576 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
5577
5578 -prval:sval
5579
5580 is equivalent to
5581
5582 -oMr rval -oMs sval
5583
5584 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
5585 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
5586 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
5587 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
5588 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
5589
559010. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
5591 Exim's behaviour:
5592
5593 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
5594 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
5595 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
5596 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
5597 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
5598 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
5599
5600 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
5601 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
5602 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
5603 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
5604 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
5605 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
5606 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
5607 string.
5608
5609 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
5610 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
5611 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
5612 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
5613 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
5614
561511. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
5616
561712. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
5618 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
5619 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
5620
562113. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
5622
562314. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
5624 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
5625 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
5626 information.
5627
562815. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
5629 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
5630
563116. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
5632 Three changes have been made:
5633
5634 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
5635 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
5636 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
5637 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
5638 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
5639
5640 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
5641 been restored.
5642
5643 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
5644 the modified behaviour.
5645
5646
5647Exim version 4.31
5648-----------------
5649
5650 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
5651 Larry Rosenman.
5652
5653 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
5654 indeed breaks things for older releases.
5655
5656 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
5657 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
5658 try to track down a specific problem.
5659
5660 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
5661 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
5662 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
5663
5664 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
5665 warning.
5666
5667 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
5668 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
5669 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
5670 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
5671 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
5672 some earlier ones do not.
5673
5674 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
5675
5676 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
5677 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
5678 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
5679 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
5680 address literals are enabled, of course).
5681
5682 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
5683
568410. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
5685 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
5686 by a command such as
5687
5688 exim -f "" ...
5689
5690 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
5691
569211. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
5693
569412. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
5695 remained set. It is now erased.
5696
569713. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
5698 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
5699
570014. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
5701 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
5702 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
5703 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
5704 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
5705 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
5706 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
5707 appropriate error code.
5708
570915. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
5710 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
5711 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
5712 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
5713 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
5714 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
5715
571616. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
5717 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
5718 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
5719
572017. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
5721 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
5722 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
5723 terminate the header.
5724
572518. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
5726 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
5727 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
5728
572919. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
5730 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
5731 (4.30/29). In particular:
5732
5733 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
5734 imposed.
5735
5736 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
5737 to write a maildirsize file.
5738
5739 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
5740 the transport, the new value overrides.
5741
5742 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
5743 count.
5744
574520. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
5746 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
5747 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
5748 space or a tab.
5749
575021. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
5751 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
5752 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
5753 the fallback hosts.
5754
575522. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
5756 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
5757 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
5758
575923. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
5760 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
5761 using a union.
5762
576324. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
5764 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
5765 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
5766
576725. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
5768
576926. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
5770
577127. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
5772
577328. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
5774 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
5775 become corrupted.
5776
577729. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
5778 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
5779 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
5780 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
5781 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
5782 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
5783 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
5784 too great.
5785
578630. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
5787 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
5788 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
5789 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
5790 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
5791 incorrectly.
5792
579331. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
5794 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
5795 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
5796 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
5797 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
5798 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
5799 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
5800 cached value only when the same options are set.
5801
580232. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
5803
580433. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
5805 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
5806 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
5807 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
5808 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
5809
581034: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
5811 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
5812 it is clearly obsolete.
5813
581435. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
5815 transport.
5816
581736. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
5818 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
5819 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
5820 times.
5821
582237. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
5823 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
5824 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
5825 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
5826 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
5827
582838. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
5829 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
5830 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
5831 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
5832
583339. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
5834
5835 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
5836
5837 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
5838 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
5839 2^31.
5840
584140. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
5842 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
5843 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
5844 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
5845 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
5846 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
5847 $localpart_data.
5848
584941. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
5850 with the -f command-line option.
5851
585242. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
5853 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
5854 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
5855 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
5856 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
5857 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5858
585943. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
5860 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
5861 line.
5862
586344. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
5864 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
5865 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
5866 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
5867 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
5868 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
5869 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
5870 buffer is too small.
5871
587245. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
5873 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
5874
587546. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
5876 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
5877 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
5878 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
5879 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
5880 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
5881 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
5882 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
5883 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
5884
588547. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
5886 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
5887 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
5888
588948. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
5890 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
5891 ACL").
5892
589349. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
5894 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
5895 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
5896 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
5897 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
5898
589950. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
5900 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
5901 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
5902 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
5903 is set.
5904
590551. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
5906
590752. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
5908
590953. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
5910 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
5911
591254. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
5913 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
5914 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
5915
591655. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
5917 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
5918 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
5919 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
5920 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
5921
592256. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
5923 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
5924 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
5925 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
5926 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
5927 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
5928 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
5929
593057. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
5931 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
5932 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
5933 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
5934 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
5935 the test of how many are available.
5936
593758. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
5938 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
5939 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 5940 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
5941 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
5942 new message is started.
5943
594459. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
5945 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
5946
594760. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
5948 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
5949
595061. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
5951 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
5952 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
5953 is no long logged.
5954
595562. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
5956 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
5957 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
5958 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
5959 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
5960 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
5961 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
5962
596363. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
5964 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
5965 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
5966 interpreted as octal.
5967
596864. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
5969 setting.
5970
597165. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
5972 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
5973 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
5974 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
5975 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
5976 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
5977
597866. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
5979 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
5980 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
5981 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
5982
5983 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
5984 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
5985 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
5986 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
5987
5988 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
5989 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
5990 is a bug fix.
5991
5992 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
5993 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
5994
599567. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5996
599768. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
5998 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
5999 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6000 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6001
600269. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6003 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6004 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6005 supplied", which is not helpful.
6006
600770. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6008 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6009 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6010
601171. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6012 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6013 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6014 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6015 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6016 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6017 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6018 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6019
602072. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6021 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6022 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6023 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6024 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6025
602673. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6027 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6028 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6029 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6030 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6031 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6032
603374. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6034 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6035 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6036
603775. Added write_rejectlog option.
6038
603976. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6040 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6041 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6042 variables.
6043
604477. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6045
604678. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6047 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6048 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6049 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6050 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6051 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6052 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6053 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6054
605579. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6056 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6057 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6058 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6059 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6060
606180. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6062 Haardt.
6063
606481. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6065 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6066 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6067 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6068 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6069 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6070 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6071 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6072 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6073
6074
6075Exim version 4.30
6076-----------------
6077
6078 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6079 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6080 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6081
6082 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6083 fixed.
6084
6085 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6086 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6087 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6088
6089 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6090 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6091 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6092 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6093 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6094 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6095
6096 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6097 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6098 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6099 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6100 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6101 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6102 the Exim test suite.
6103
6104 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6105 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6106 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6107 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6108
6109 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6110 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6111 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6112 specify it in this variable.
6113
6114 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6115 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6116 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6117 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6118
6119 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6120 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6121 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6122 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6123
6124 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6125 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6126 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6127 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6128 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6129
6130 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6131
613210. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6133 they are logged.
6134
613511. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6136 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6137 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6138 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6139 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6140
614112. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6142 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6143
614413. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6145 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6146 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6147 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6148 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6149
615014. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6151 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6152
615315. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6154 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6155 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6156
615716. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6158 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6159
616017. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6161 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6162
616318. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6164 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6165 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6166
616719. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6168 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6169
617020. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6171 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6172 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6173 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6174
617521. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6176
617722. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6178 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6179 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6180 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6181
618223. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6183
618424. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6185 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6186
618725. Added .include_if_exists.
6188
618926. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6190 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6191 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6192 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6193 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6194 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6195
619627. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6197
619828. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6199 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6200 this.
6201
620229. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6203
620430. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6205 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6206
6207 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6208 550 Sender verify failed
6209
6210 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6211 the final line of the response.
6212
621331. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6214 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6215 all other user lookups.
6216
621732. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6218 delivery time.
6219
622033. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6221 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6222 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6223 result into an int without checking.
6224
622534. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6226 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6227 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6228
622935. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6230 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6231 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6232 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6233
623436. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6235 correctly.
6236
623737. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6238 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6239
624038. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6241 to the empty sender.
6242
624339. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6244 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6245 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6246 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6247 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6248 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6249 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6250 panic log.
6251
625240. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6253 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6254 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6255 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6256 used.
6257
625841. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6259 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6260
626142. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6262 timestamps.
6263
626443. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6265 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6266
626744. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6268
626945. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6270 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6271 logs.
6272
627346. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6274 as soon as it is encountered.
6275
627647. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6277
627848. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6279 rewritten to "<>".
6280
628149. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6282 recognizes a tab character.
6283
628450. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6285 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6286 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6287 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6288
628951. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6290
629152. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6292 crash.
6293
629453. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6295
629654. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6297
629855. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6299 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6300 2822.
6301
630256. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6303 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6304 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6305 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6306 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6307
630857. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6309 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6310
631158. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6312 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6313 list (.included file names were always shown).
6314
631559. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6316 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6317 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6318 root at that time.
6319
632060. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6321 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6322
632361. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6324
632562. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6326
632763. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6328
632964. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6330 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6331 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6332 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6333 failures to open the logs.
6334
633565. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6336 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6337 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6338 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6339 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6340 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6341 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6342
6343
6344Exim version 4.24
6345-----------------
6346
6347 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6348 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6349 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6350 change 4.23/1.
6351
6352 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6353 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6354 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6355
6356 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6357 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6358 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6359
6360 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6361 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6362 causing some misleading effects.
6363
6364 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6365 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6366 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6367
6368 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6369 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6370 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6371 queue-runner function directly.
6372
6373
6374Exim version 4.23
6375-----------------
6376
6377 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6378 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6379
6380 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6381 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6382 was always written to the default place.
6383
6384 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6385 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6386 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6387
6388 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6389
6390 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6391
6392 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6393 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6394 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6395
6396 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6397 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6398 must start.
6399
6400 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6401 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6402 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6403
6404 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6405 command line option is disabled.
6406
6407 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6408 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6409
6410 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6411
6412 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6413
6414 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6415 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6416
641710. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6418
641911. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6420 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6421 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6422 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6423 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6424 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6425
642612. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6427 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6428 timeout.
6429
643013. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6431 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6432
643314. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6434 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6435
643615. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6437 received was valid base64.
6438
643916. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6440 name of the variable that was being set.
6441
644217. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6443
644418. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6445 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6446 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6447 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6448 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6449 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6450
645119. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6452
645320. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6454 nor realm was specified.
6455
645621. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6457 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6458 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6459 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6460
646122. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6462 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6463 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6464
646523. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6466 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6467 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6468
646924. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6470 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6471 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6472 some systems use these upper case variants.
6473
647425. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6475 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6476 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6477 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6478
647926. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6480
648127. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6482 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6483
648428. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6485 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6486 expansion variable.
6487
648829. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6489
649030. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6491 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6492 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6493 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6494
649531. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6496 using it.
6497
649832. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6499 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6500 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6501
650233. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6503 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6504
650534. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6506 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6507 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6508 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6509
651035. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6511 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6512 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6513
651436. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6515
651637. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6517 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6518 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6519 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6520 aborted.
6521
652238. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6523 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6524 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6525
652639. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6527
652840. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6529 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6530
653141. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6532 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6533
653442. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6535 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6536 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6537 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6538 when emails are that large.
6539
6540
6541
6542Exim version 4.22
6543-----------------
6544
6545 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6546 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6547
6548 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6549 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6550 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6551
6552 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6553 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6554 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6555
6556 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6557 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6558 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6559 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6560 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6561
6562 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6563 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6564 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6565 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6566 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6567 ever.
6568
6569 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
6570 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
6571 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
6572 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
6573 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
6574 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
6575 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
6576 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
6577 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
6578 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
6579 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
6580 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
6581 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
6582 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
6583
6584 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
6585 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
6586 parameterised it.
6587
6588 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
6589 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
6590 error should be diagnosed.
6591
6592 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
6593 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
6594 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
6595 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
6596 appeared instead of "NULL".
6597
659810. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
6599 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
6600 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
6601 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
6602 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
6603 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
6604 proceeds).
6605
6606 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
6607 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
6608 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
6609
6610
6611Exim version 4.21
6612-----------------
6613
6614 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
6615 or receiver verification errors.
6616
6617 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
6618 name.
6619
6620 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
6621 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
6622 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
6623 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
6624
6625 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
6626 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
6627 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
6628 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
6629 shouldn't happen again.
6630
6631 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
6632 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
6633 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
6634
6635 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
6636 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
6637
6638 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
6639
6640 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
6641 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
6642
6643 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
6644 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
6645 RFC.
6646
664710. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
6648 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
6649 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
6650
665111. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
6652 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
6653 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
6654 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
6655
665612. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
6657 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
6658 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
6659 to define what should happen).
6660
666113. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
6662 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
6663 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
6664
666514. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
6666
666715. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
6668
666916. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
6670 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
6671
4c04137d 667217. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
6673 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
6674 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
6675 structure in all cases.
6676
6677 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
6678 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
6679 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
6680 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
6681
668218. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
6683 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
6684 domain name.
6685
668619. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
6687 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
6688
668920. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
6690 MD5 (which is deprecated).
6691
669221. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
6693 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
6694 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
6695
669622. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
6697 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
6698 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
6699
670023. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
6701 the book and for uniformity.
6702
670324. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
6704
670525. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 6706 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
6707 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
6708 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
6709 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
6710 non-existent command as the problem.
6711
671226. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
6713 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
6714 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
6715
671627. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
6717
671828. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
6719 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
6720 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
6721
672229. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
6723 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
6724 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
6725 timestamps using strftime().
6726
672730. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
6728 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
6729
673032. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
6731 transport-time rewrites.
6732
673333. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
6734 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
6735 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
6736 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
6737
673834. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
6739 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
6740
674135. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
6742 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
6743 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
6744 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
6745 comma and a space.
6746
674736. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
6748 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
6749 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
6750 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
6751 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
6752 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
6753 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
6754
675537. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
6756 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
6757 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
6758 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
6759 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
6760
676138. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
6762 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
6763 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
6764 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
6765 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
6766 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
6767 remaining text gets split now.
6768
676939. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
6770 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
6771 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
6772 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
6773
677440. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
6775 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
6776 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
6777 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
6778 $return_path.
6779
678041. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
6781 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
6782 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
6783 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
6784 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
6785 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
6786 passed through if needed.
6787
678842. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
6789 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
6790 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
6791 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
6792 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
6793 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
6794
679543. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
6796 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
6797 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
6798 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
6799 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
6800
680144. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
6802 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
6803 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
6804 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
6805 incorrect size information for certain domains.
6806
680745. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
6808 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
6809 noticed.
6810
681146. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
6812 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
6813 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
6814 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
6815 mayhem of various kinds.
6816
681747. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
6818 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 6819 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
6820 the right test for positive values.
6821
682248. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
6823 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
6824 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
6825 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
6826 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
6827 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
6828 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
6829 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
6830 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
6831 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
6832 envelope.
6833
683449. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
6835 module.
6836
683750. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
6838 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
6839 forbidding it.
6840
684151. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
6842 the existing equality matching.
6843
684452. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
6845 dealing with inode numbers.
6846
684753. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
6848 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
6849 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
6850
685154. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
6852 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
6853 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
6854 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
6855 local_scan().
6856
685755. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
6858 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
6859 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
6860 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
6861 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
6862 relay addresses has also been removed.
6863
686456. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
6865
686657. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
6867 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
6868 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
6869
687058. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
6871 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
6872 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
6873 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
6874 processing applies to CR:
6875
6876 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
6877 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
6878
6879 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
6880 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
6881 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
6882 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
6883
688459. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
6885 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
6886 This is a VOB (very old bug).
6887
688860. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
6889 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
6890 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
6891 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
6892 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
6893 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
6894 arisen.
6895
689661. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
6897 program routers.
6898
689962. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
6900 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
6901 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
6902 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
6903 adds:
6904
6905 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
6906
6907 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
6908
6909 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
6910
691163. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
6912 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
6913 not considered personal.
6914
691564. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
6916
691765. Added queue_only_override (default true).
6918
691966. Added the syslog_duplication option.
6920
692167. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
6922 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
6923 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
6924 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
6925 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
6926 header lines, and spool format errors.
6927
692868. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
6929 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
6930 for more flexibility.
6931
693269. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
6933 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
6934 consulting and updating the callout cache.
6935
693670. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
6937 Sabourenkov.
6938
693971. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
6940 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
6941 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
6942 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
6943 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
6944 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
6945 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
6946 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
6947 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
6948
694972. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
6950 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
6951 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
6952 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
6953 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
6954 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
6955 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
6956
695773. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
6958 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
6959 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
6960
696174. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
6962 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
6963 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
6964 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
6965 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
6966 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
6967 instead of killing the process with assert().
6968
696975. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
6970 than Unicode encoding.
6971
697276. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
6973 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
6974 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
6975 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
6976
697777. Added process_log_path.
6978
697978. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
6980 check_log_inodes was ignored.
6981
698279. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
6983 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
6984
698580. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
6986 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
6987 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
6988
698981. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
6990 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
6991 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
6992 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
6993 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
6994 were applied:
6995
6996 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
6997 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
6998 as invalid.
6999
700082. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7001 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7002 they will be used during message reception.
