11JH/01 Replace the store_release() internal interface with store_newblock(),
12 which internalises the check required to safely use the old one, plus
13 the allocate and data copy operations duplicated in both (!) of the
14 extant use locations.

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.

JH
64JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating
65 SMTP connection. Previously, when one had more receipients than the
66 first, an abortive onward connection was made. Move to full support for
67 multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
68 for all multi-message initiating connections.
69
f83a760f
JH
70JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by
71 routers. Previously, a multi-recipient message would fail to match the
72 onward-connection opened for the first recipient, and cause its closure.
73

JH
74JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
75 a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
76 initiating connection being dropped. This mattered most when the callout
77 was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
78 separate.
79

JH
80JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in

83 fake-reject.

90-----------------
91
92JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in
93 more cases is responsible for logging. This permits library-sourced
94 string to be attached to addresses during delivery, and collapses
95 pairs of long lines into single ones.

100JH/02 Rework error string handling in DKIM to pass more info back to callers.
101 This permits better logging.
102
875512a3
JH
103JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
104 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
105 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
106 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
107 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 108 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

110JH/04 Shorten the log line for daemon startup by collapsing adjacent sets of
111 identical IP addresses on different listening ports. Will also affect

116 Patch from Bernd Kuhls.
117

JH
118JH/05 Tighten up the checking in isip4 (et al): dotted-quad components larger
119 than 255 are no longer allowed.
120
7006ee24
JH
121JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
122 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
123 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
124 client, there is no benefit for these.
125 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
126 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
127 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
128 is used (3.2.4 +).

JH
133JH/07 Fix smtp transport use of limited max_rcpt under mua_wrapper. Previously
134 the check for any unsuccessful recipients did not notice the limit, and
135 erroneously found still-pending ones.
136

138 MSG_MORE. Only in-clear (not on TLS connections).
139
42055a33
JH
140JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a
141 transport-filter is involved we can buffer the headers in memory for
142 creating the signature, and read the spool data file once for the
143 signature and again for transmission.
144
eeb35890
JH
145JH/10 Enable use of sendfile in Linux builds as default. It was disabled in
146 4.77 as the kernel support then wasn't solid, having issues in 64bit
7d758a6a 147 mode. Now, it's been long enough. Add support for FreeBSD also.
eeb35890 148

JH
149JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
150 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
151 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
152 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
153 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
154 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
155 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
156
40525d07
JH
157JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
158 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
159 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 160 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
40525d07 161
f33875c3
PP
162PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
163 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
164 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
165 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
166 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
167 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
168 processing options.
169
a5ffa9b4
JH
170JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
171 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
172 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
173 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
174 connections.

410JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
411 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
412 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
413 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
414 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
415 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
416 if one fails this test.
417 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
418 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1232TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1233
1234 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1235 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1236 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1237 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1238 the retry rules.
1239
1240 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1241 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1242 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1243
1244 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1245 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1246 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1247 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1248
1ddeb334
TF
1249 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1250 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1251 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1252 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1253 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1254 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1255 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1256
1257 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1258 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1268 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1269 username as equal to the username.

1580TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1581 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1582 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1583
1584 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1585 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1586 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1587 not safe for signals.
1588
1589 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1590 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1591 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1592 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1593 exiwhat.

TF
1595TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1596
1597 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1598 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1599 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1600 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1601 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1602
1603 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1604 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1605 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1606 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1607 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1608 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1609
1610 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1611 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1612 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1613 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1614
1615 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1616 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1617 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1618 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1619
1620 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1621 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1622 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1623 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1624 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1625 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1626 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1627 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1628 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1629
1630 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1631 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1632 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1633 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1634
1635 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1636 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1637 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1638 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1639 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1640 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1641 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1642 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1643 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1644 details in the main documentation.

2215
2216PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2217
6a3bceb1
PH
2218PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2219 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2220 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2221 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2222 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2223 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2224 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2225 for iplsearch lookups.
2226
2227 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2228 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2229 previously such lookups could never work.
2230
4c04137d 2231 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2232 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2233 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2238MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2239 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2240 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2241 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2242 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2243 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2248MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2249 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2250 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2251 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2252 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2253 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2326PH/02 In an ACL statement such as

2328 deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
2329
2330 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2331 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2332 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
2333 The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second

a14e5636
PH
2436PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2437 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2438 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2439 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2440 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2441 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2442 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2454PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
2455 Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
2456 SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
2457 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2458 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
2459 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
2460 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

2488PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of
2489 whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was
2490 behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
2491 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
2492 calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
2493 uses the Exim user.

2497 sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
2498 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
2499 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
2500 intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their

58eb016e 2515PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending

PH
2516 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2517 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2518 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2519 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2520 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2521 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2522 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2523 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2533
2534PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2535 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2536
2537 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2538 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2539
2540 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2541 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2542 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2543
2544 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2545 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2546 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2547 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2548 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

PH
2562PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
2563 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
2564 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2565 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2566 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2567 rather than extend the field.

2573TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
2574 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
2575 While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K

2577 these files.

2579TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
2580 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
2581 triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
2582
2583TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
2584 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,

2587TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,

2b1c6e3a
PH
2592PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2593 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2594 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2595 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2596 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2597 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2598 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2599 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2600 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2601 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2602 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2636PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2638 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2639 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2640 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2641 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2642 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2643 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 2645PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 2646 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2647 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2648 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2649 function.
2650 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2651 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2652 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2653 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2654 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2655 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2656 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2657 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2658 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2664 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2665 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2666 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2667 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2668 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2669 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2670 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2675
322050c2
PH
2676PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2677 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2678 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2679 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2680 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2681 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2682 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2683 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2684 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2685 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2686 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2687 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2688 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2692 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2693 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2694 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2695 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2696 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2698PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2699 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2700 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2701 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2702 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2703 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2704 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2705 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2706 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2707 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

2709PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2710 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2711 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2712 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2713 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2715PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2716 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2717 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2718 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2719 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2720 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2721 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2723PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
2724 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
2725 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
2726 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2727 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2728 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2729 been verified.

2760
2761PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2762 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2763 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2764 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2765 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2766 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2767 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2768 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2769 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2770
2771 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2772 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2773 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2774 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2775 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2776 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2777 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2778 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2779 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2780
2781 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2782 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2783 hammering the server.

2798PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2799 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
2800 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
2801 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2802 fails.
2803
48c7f9e2
PH
2804PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2805 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2806 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2807 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2808 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
2809 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2810 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2811 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2812 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2813 smtp transport.

3086 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3087 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3088 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3089 451 error is used.

3111PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
3112 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
3113 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
3114 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
3115 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
3116 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
3117 processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

3122Exim version 4.61
3123-----------------
3124
3125PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3126 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3127 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3128 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3129 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3130 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3131 addresses as local.

3140 lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
3141 invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
3142 newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
3143 grumble.

3171PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
3172 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3173 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3174 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3175 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3176 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3177 bounce message.

3189 literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.

3191PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
3192 used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
3193 ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
3194 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
3195 changes:
3196
3197 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
3198 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
4c04137d 3199 suitable debugging output when -d is set.

3200
3201 (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,

3208PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3209 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3210 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3211 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3212 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3213 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3214 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3215 values from the SRV records were lost.

3217PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

3221PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from

3223 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
3224

PH
3225PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3226 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3227 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3228 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3229 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3230 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3231 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3232 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3233 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.
