7JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16
8 and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request
9 it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
10 client dropping the TLS connection.

12TF/01 Code cleanup: Overhaul the debug_selector and log_selector machinery to
13 support variable-length bit vectors. No functional change.

TF
15TF/02 Improve the consistency of logging incoming and outgoing interfaces.
16 The I= interface field on outgoing lines is now after the H= remote
17 host field, same as incoming lines. There is a separate
18 outgoing_interface log selector which allows you to disable the
19 outgoing I= field.

JH
21JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
22 If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
23 open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
24 deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
25 leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
26 check on the next write.

28HS/01 Bug 1671: Fix post transport crash.
29 Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
30 process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
31 using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
32 file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.

34JH/03 Bug 425: Capture substrings in $regex1, $regex2 etc from regex &
35 mime_regex ACL conditions.

37JH/04 Bug 1686: When compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO: Add extra information
38 to DSN fail messages (bounces): remote IP, remote greeting, remote response
39 to HELO, local diagnostic string.

805bb5c3
JH
41JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from
42 log line to debug. Even when configured with a tls authenticator many
43 client connections are expected to not authenticate in this way, so
44 an authenticate fail is not an error.

46HS/02 Add the Exim version string to the process info. This way exiwhat
47 gives some more detail about the running daemon.

JH
49JH/06 Bug 1395: time-limit cacheing of DNS lookups, to the TTL value. This may
50 matter for fast-change records such as DNSBLs.
51
6f6dedcc
JH
52JH/07 Bug 1678: Always record an interface option value, if set, as part of a
53 retry record, even if constant. There may be multiple transports with
54 different interface settings and the retry behaviour needs to be kept
55 distinct.

63JH/11 Bug 830: use same host for all RCPTS of a message, even under
64 hosts_randomize. This matters a lot when combined with mua_wrapper.
65
98b98887 66JH/12 Bug 1706: percent and underbar characters are no longer escaped by the

JH
71JH/14 Change header file name for freeradius-client. Relevant if compiling
72 with Radius support; from the Gentoo tree and checked under Fedora.

74JH/15 Bug 1712: Introduce $prdr_requested flag variable
75
6ff55e50

76JH/16 Bug 1714: Permit an empty string as expansion result for transport
77 option transport_filter, meaning no filtering.

79JH/17 Bug 1713: Fix non-PDKIM_DEBUG build. Patch from Jasen Betts.
80
23f3dc67
JH
81JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
82 defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built
83 with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testuite sane.
84 If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
85 logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably
86 they will retry in-clear.
87 Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
88 at installation time.
89
240c288f
JH
90HS/03 Add -bP config_file as a synonym for -bP configure_file, for consistency
91 with the $config_file variable.
92
5ef5dd52
JB
93JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
94 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
95 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
96 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
97 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx reponse.
98

GF
99GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
100 to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
101 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
102 installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
103 result is that the running daemon panics and dies.

108 selection for the EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS feature, via new per-proxy options
109 "pri" and "weight". Note that the previous implicit priority given by the
110 list order is no longer honoured.

JH
143JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM
144 support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones. This means DKIM is
145 only supported when built with TLS support.
146
a57b6200
JH
147JH/35 Require SINGLE_DH_USE by default in OpenSSL (main config option

161
01a4a5c5 162JH/04 Certificate name checking on server certificates, when exim is a client,
b3ef41c9 163 is now done by default. The transport option tls_verify_cert_hostnames

246JH/28 Bug 1588: Do not use the A lookup following an AAAA for setting the FQDN.
247 Normally benign, it bites when the pair was led to by a CNAME;
248 modern usage is to not canoicalize the domain to a CNAME target
249 (and we were inconsistent anyway for A-only vs AAAA+A).

272Exim version 4.85
273-----------------
274TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
275 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
276 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
277 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
278 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
279 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
280 the script parsing/test process like normal.

307JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process. Several recipients, combined
308 with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split
309 over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly. This eventually
310 resulted in duplicates being sent. This issue only became common enough
311 to notice due to the introduction of conection certificate information,
312 the item size being so much larger. Found and fixed by Wolfgang Breyha.

384TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
385
386 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
387 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
388 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
389 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
390 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
391 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

637TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
638
639 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
640 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
641 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
642 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
643 the retry rules.
644
645 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
646 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
647 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
648
649 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
650 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
651 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
652 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
653
1ddeb334
TF
654 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
655 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
656 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
657 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
658 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
659 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
660 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
661
662 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
663 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

703 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
704 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
705 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
706 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving

985TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
986 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
987 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
988
989 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
990 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
991 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
992 not safe for signals.
993
994 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
995 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
996 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
997 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
998 exiwhat.

1000TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1001
1002 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1003 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1004 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1005 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
1006 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
1007
1008 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1009 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1010 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1011 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1012 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1013 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1014
1015 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1016 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1017 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1018 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1019
1020 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1021 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1022 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1023 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1024
1025 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1026 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1027 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1028 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1029 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1030 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1031 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1032 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1033 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1034
1035 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1036 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1037 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1038 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1039
1040 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1041 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1042 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1043 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1044 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1045 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1046 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1047 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1048 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1049 details in the main documentation.

1599 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1600 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
1601 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
1602 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
1603 build errors in sieve.c.

1620
1621PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1622
6a3bceb1
PH
1623PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1624 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1625 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1626 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1627 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1628 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1629 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1630 for iplsearch lookups.
1631
1632 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1633 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1634 previously such lookups could never work.
1635
1636 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1637 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1638 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1643MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1644 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1645 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1646 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1647 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1648 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
1653MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1654 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1655 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1656 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1657 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1658 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1698PH/18 If a system quota error occurred while trying to create the file for
1699 a maildir delivery, the message "Mailbox is full" was not appended to the

PH
1731PH/02 In an ACL statement such as
1732
1733 deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
1734
1735 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
1736 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
1737 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
1738 The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second
1739 item. This has been fixed.

1742 = and & when the dns lookup returns more than one IP address.

PH
1747PH/05 After discussion on the list, added a compile time option ENABLE_DISABLE_

1759MH/02 Fix for bug #451, causing paniclog entries to be written if a bounce

f0872424
PH
1763PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of
1764 $auth1 could be overwritten, and so not correctly preserved, after a
1765 successful authentication. This usually meant that the value preserved by
1766 the server_setid option was incorrect.

1772PH/10 The acl_not_smtp_start ACL was, contrary to the documentation, not being
1773 run for batched SMTP input. It is now run at the start of every message
1774 in the batch. While fixing this I discovered that the process information
1775 (output by running exiwhat) was not always getting set for -bs and -bS
1776 input. This is fixed, and it now also says "batched" for BSMTP.

PH
1827PH/27 When a message times out after an over-quota error from an Exim-imposed
1828 quota, the bounce message says "mailbox is full". This message was not

1830 be the same.

0e20aff9
MH
1832MH/03 Made $recipients available in local_scan(). local_scan() already has
1833 better access to the recipient list through recipients_list[], but
1834 $recipients can be useful in postmaster-provided expansion strings.

ca86f471
PH
1836PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct
1837 in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the

1839 were accidentally chopped off.
1840
a14e5636
PH
1841PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1842 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
1843 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
1844 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1845 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1846 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1847 pipelining has not been advertised.

1857 reported on Solaris.
1858
58c01c94
PH
1859PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
1860 Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
1861 SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
1862 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
1863 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
1864 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
1865 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

1876 "Completed" line in the log. When some messages of this type were

PH
1881PH/38 The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router can now be set

PH
1886PH/39 In a list of hosts for manualroute, if one item (either because of multi-

1888 one IP address, and the following item turned out to be the local host,
1889 all the secondary addresses of the first item were incorrectly removed
1890 from the list, along with the local host and any following hosts (which

ebeaf996
PH
1893PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of
1894 whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was
1895 behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
1896 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
1897 calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
1898 uses the Exim user.

PH
1900PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a
1901 message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad
1902 sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
1903 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
1904 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
1905 intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their
1906 users.

58eb016e 1920PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending
563b63fa
PH
1921 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1922 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1923 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1924 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1925 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1926 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1927 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1928 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.
563b63fa

1940 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1941

1945 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1946 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1947 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1948
1949 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1950 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1951 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1952 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1953 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1978TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
1979 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).

PH
1997PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1998 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1999 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2000 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2001 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2002 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2003 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2004 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2005 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2006 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2007 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2041PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2043 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2044 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2045 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2046 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2047 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2048 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05
PH
2052 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2053 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2054 function.
2055 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2056 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2057 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2058 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2059 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2060 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2061 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2062 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2063 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2069 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2070 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2071 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2072 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2073 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2074 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2075 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
2081PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2082 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2083 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2084 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2085 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2086 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2087 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2088 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2089 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2090 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2091 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2092 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2093 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2096 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2097 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2098 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2099 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2100 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2101 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2103PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2104 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2105 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2106 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2107 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2108 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2109 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2110 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2111 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2112 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

2114PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2117 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2118 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2120PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a

2122 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2123 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2124 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2125 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2126 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2131 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2132 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2133 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2134 been verified.

2165
2166PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2167 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2168 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2169 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2170 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2171 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2172 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2173 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2174 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2175
2176 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2177 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2178 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2179 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2180 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2181 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2182 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2183 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2184 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2185
2186 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2187 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2188 hammering the server.

2203PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2204 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
2205 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
2206 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2207 fails.
2208
48c7f9e2
PH
2209PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2210 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2211 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2212 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
2213 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
2214 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2215 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2216 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2217 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2218 smtp transport.

2489 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2490 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2491 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2492 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2493 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

2533 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2534 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2535 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2536 addresses as local.

2579 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2614 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2615 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2616 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2617 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2618 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2619 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2620 values from the SRV records were lost.

2622PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

PH
2630PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2631 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2632 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2633 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2634 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2635 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2636 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2637 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2638 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2735PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2736 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2737 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2738 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2739 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2740 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2741 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2742 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2743 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2744 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

2752PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
2753 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
2754 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
2755 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
2756 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
2757 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
2758 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
2759 the variable.

2779PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
2780 used in LMTP mode:
2781
2782 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2783 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2784 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2785 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2786
2787 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2788 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2789 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2790
2791PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2792 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2793 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2794 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
2795 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

2865PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2866 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2867 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2868 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2869 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2870 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2871 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2872 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2873 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2874 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2875 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2898
2899 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
2900 string.
2901
2902 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2903 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2904 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2905 silly things.
2906
2907 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
2908 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

2931PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2932 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2933 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2934 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2935 identical. For example:
2936
2937 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2938
2939 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2940 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2941 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2967PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to

2969
2970 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
2971
2972 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
2973 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
2974 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
2975 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
2976 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
2977
2978 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
2979
2980 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
2981
2982 The auto-replied keyword:
2983
2984 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
2985 message by an automatic process,
2986
2987 - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
2988
2989 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
2990 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),

3033 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3034 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3035 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3036 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3037 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3038 the text comparison.

3145PH/20 If a delivery was routed to a non-standard port by means of an SRV
3146 record, the port was not correctly logged when the outgoing_port log
3147 selector was set (it logged the transort's default port).

3150 fallback_hosts, and "hosts" in the smtp transport.

PH
3155PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius
3156 authentication with radiusclient 0.4.9:
3157
3158 - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
3159 - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.
3160
3161 The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17
3162 were not taken care of correctly. The code is still untested by me (my
3163 Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of radiusclient), but it was
3164 contributed by a Radius user.
3165
3166PH/24 When doing a callout, the value of $domain wasn't set correctly when
3167 expanding the "port" option of the smtp transport.

3175PH/25 Make $smtp_command_argument available after all SMTP commands. This means

PH
3179PH/26 Exim was recognizing IPv6 addresses of the form [IPv6:....] in EHLO
3180 commands, but it was not correctly comparing the address with the actual
3181 client host address. Thus, it would show the EHLO address in Received:
3182 header lines when this was not necessary.

PH
3186PH/28 Exim tries to create and chdir to its spool directory when it starts;
3187 it should be ignoring failures (because with -C, for example, it has lost
3188 privilege). It wasn't ignoring creation failures other than "already
3189 exists".

3206
3207PH/34 There are settings for CHOWN_COMMAND and MV_COMMAND that can be used in
3208 Local/Makefile (with some defaults set). These are used in built scripts
3209 such as exicyclog, but they have never been used in the exim_install
3210 script (though there are many overriding facilities there). I have
3211 arranged that the exim_install script now takes note of these two
3212 settings.

PH
3216PH/36 When a locally submitted message by a trusted user did not contain a
3217 From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP
3218 MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender
3219 name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From:
3220 header. Furthermore, $originator_name was used for submission mode
3221 messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way,
3222 which is clearly wrong.

PH
3226PH/38 When log_selector = +received_sender was set, and the addition of the
3227 sender made the log line's construction buffer exactly full, or one byte
3228 less than full, an overflow happened when the terminating "\n" was
3229 subsequently added.

3239PH/42 (But a TF fix): In a domain list, Exim incorrectly matched @[] if the IP

3255PH/47 Added an interface to a fake DNS resolver for use by the new test suite,
3256 avoiding the need to install special zones in a real server. This is
3257 backwards compatible; if it can't find the fake resolver, it drops back.
3258 Thus, both old and new test suites can be run.

3271PH/48 A number of further additions for the benefit of the new test suite,

TF
3288TF/08 Change PH/13 introduced the possibility that verify=helo may defer,
3289 if the DNS of the sending site is misconfigured. This is quite a

3302PH/01 When a transport filter timed out in a pipe delivery, and the pipe

PH
3312PH/03 The warning log line about a condition test deferring for a "warn" verb
3313 was being output only once per connection, rather than after each

3315 "warn" verbs). This seems wrong, so I have changed it.

3317TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that
3318 it should not have, which might have caused a crash in the right
3319 circumstances, but probably never did.

3321PH/04 Installed a modified version of Tony Finch's patch to make submission
3322 mode fix the return path as well as the Sender: header line, and to
