JH
11JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
12 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
13
14JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in

15 non-signal-safe functions being used.
16
17JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
18 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
19 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.

23 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.

JH
25JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
26 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
27 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
28 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
29 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being

32PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
33 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
34

JH
35JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
36 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
37 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
38 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
39 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
40 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
41 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.

d8d9f930
JH
55JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
56 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
57 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
58 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
59 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
60 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
61

63
7a8b9519
JH
64JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
65 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
66 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
67 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
68

JH
69JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
70
74f1a423
JH
71JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
72 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
73 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
74 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.

JH
101JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
102 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
103 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
104 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
105 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.

120 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
121 hope that is portable enough.
122
570cb1bd
JH
123JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
124 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
125 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
126 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
127

128JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
129 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
130 SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.

133 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
134 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
135 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.

059f2ace 141 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all

e30f4f43
JH
145JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
146 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
147 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.

JH
158JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048. RHEL 8.0
159 OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key. Do for GnuTLS also, and for
160 more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
161 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.

164 side. Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.

170JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external
171 causes) even when the retry time is not yet met. Previously they were
172 not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting,
173 and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get
174 notified on each configured delay_warning cycle.

c39c8870 182GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
bb264f6b
JH
183 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
184 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
185 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
186 next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
187 be defined in redis_servers.

JH
203JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
204 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
205 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
206 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
207 input.

ce93c6d8
JH
209JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
210 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
211 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
212 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
213 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
214 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
215 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
216 Main pool for expansions.
217 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
218 active in the testsuite.
219 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.

221JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
222 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
223 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
224 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
225 round-robin DNS.

245JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating

247 first, an abortive onward connection was made. Move to full support for
248 multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
249 for all multi-message initiating connections.

251JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by

f1fed05b
JH
255JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
256 a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
257 initiating connection being dropped. This mattered most when the callout
258 was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods

326JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
327 as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
328 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
329 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
330 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
331 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
332 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
333 receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
334 (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).

450JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
451 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
452 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
453 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
454 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
455 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
456 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.

1170TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
1171 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
1172 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
1173 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
1174 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
1175 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
1176 the script parsing/test process like normal.

1536 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1537 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1538 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1539 the retry rules.
1540
1541 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1542 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1543 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1544
1545 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1546 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1547 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1548 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1549

TF
1550 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1551 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1552 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1553 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1554 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1555 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1556 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1557
1558 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1559 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1566
1567 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1568 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1569 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1570 username as equal to the username.

1881TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1882 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1883 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1884
1885 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1886 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1887 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1888 not safe for signals.
1889
1890 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1891 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1892 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1893 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1894 exiwhat.

TF
1896TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1897
1898 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1899 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1900 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1901 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1902 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1903
1904 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1905 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1906 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1907 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1908 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1909 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1910
1911 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1912 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1913 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1914 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1915
1916 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1917 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1918 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1919 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1920
1921 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1922 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1923 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1924 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1925 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1926 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1927 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1928 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1929 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1930
1931 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1932 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1933 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1934 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1935
1936 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1937 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1938 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1939 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1940 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1941 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1942 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1943 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1944 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1945 details in the main documentation.

2494
2495 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
2496 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
2497 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
2498 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
2499 build errors in sieve.c.

2517PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2518
6a3bceb1
PH
2519PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2520 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2521 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2522 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2523 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2524 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2525 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2526 for iplsearch lookups.
2527
2528 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2529 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2530 previously such lookups could never work.
2531
4c04137d 2532 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2533 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2534 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2539MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2540 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2541 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2542 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2543 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2544 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2549MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2550 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2551 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2552 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2553 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2554 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2631 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2632 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2633 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.

2737PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2738 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2739 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2740 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2741 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2742 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2743 pipelining has not been advertised.

2758 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2759 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

2792 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
2793 calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
2794 uses the Exim user.

2799 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the

PH
2817 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2818 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2819 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2820 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2821 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2822 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2823 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2824 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2832Exim version 4.66
2833-----------------
2834
2835PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2836 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2837
2838 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2839 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2840
2841 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2842 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2843 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2844
2845 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2846 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2847 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2848 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2849 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2863PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
2864 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
2865 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2866 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2867 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2868 rather than extend the field.

2874TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
2875 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).

2883
2884TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used

PH
2893PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2894 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2895 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2896 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2897 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2898 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2899 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2900 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2901 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2902 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2903 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2937PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2939 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2940 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2941 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2942 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2943 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2944 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2947 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2948 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2949 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2950 function.
2951 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2952 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2953 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2954 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2955 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2956 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2957 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2958 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2959 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2964PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2965 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2966 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2967 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2968 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2969 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2970 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2971 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2974 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2976
322050c2
PH
2977PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2978 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2979 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2980 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2981 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2982 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2983 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2984 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2985 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2986 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2987 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2988 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2989 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2992 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2993 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2994 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2995 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2996 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2997 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2999PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3000 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3001 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3002 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3003 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3004 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3005 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3006 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3007 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3008 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
3010PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

3013 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3014 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3016PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3017 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3018 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3019 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3020 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3021 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3022 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3027 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3028 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3029 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3030 been verified.

3061
3062PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3063 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3064 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3065 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3066 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3067 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3068 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3069 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3070 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3071
3072 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3073 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3074 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3075 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3076 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3077 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3078 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3079 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3080 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3081
3082 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3083 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3084 hammering the server.

PH
3099PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
3100 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
3101 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
3102 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3103 fails.
3104
48c7f9e2
PH
3105PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3106 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3107 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3108 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3109 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
3110 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3111 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3112 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3113 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3114 smtp transport.

3385 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3386 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3387 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3388 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3389 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

3475 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3476 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3477 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a

3509PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3510 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3511 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3512 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3513 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3514 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3515 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3516 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
3526PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3527 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3528 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3529 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3530 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3531 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3532 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3533 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3534 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3631PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3632 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3633 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3634 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3635 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3636 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3637 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3638 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3639 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3640 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3652 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as

3677
3678 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3679 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3680 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3681 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3682
3683 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3684 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3685 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3686
3687PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3688 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3689 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3690 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

3761PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3762 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3763 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3764 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3765 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3766 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3767 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3768 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3769 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3770 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3771 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3863PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to
3864 Electronic Mail") by including:
3865
3866 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
3867
3868 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
4c04137d 3869 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP messages, there was
456682f5
PH
3870 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
3871 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
3872 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3873
3874 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3875
3876 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3877
3878 The auto-replied keyword:
3879
3880 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3881 message by an automatic process,
3882
3883 - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
3884
3885 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
3886 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),
3887
3888 - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic
3889 processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to
3890 other messages.

PH
3926PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3927 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3928 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3929 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3930 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3931 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3932 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3933 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3934 the text comparison.
3935
96776534
PH
3936PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
3937 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated

4242 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4243 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4319 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
4320 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
4321 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim

4323 falls back to the previous guessing code."

4382 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it

4451
4452PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4453 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4454 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4455 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4456 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4457 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4458 file.
4459
4460PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4461 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4462 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4463 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4464 these two options.
4465
4466PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4467 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4468 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4469 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4470 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4471 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4472 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4473 address.

PH
4474
4475PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T

4477
4478PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4479 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4480 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4481 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4482 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4483 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4484
4485PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

4536 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
4537 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4538 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4539 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4540 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4541 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
4542 for failure.

4547 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4548 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
4549 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.

c5ddb310
PH
4561PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4562 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4563 understands it better than I do:
4564
4565 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4566 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4567
4568 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4569 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4570 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4571 => three warnings about OTP not working
4572 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4573
4574 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4575 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4576 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4577 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4578 for each call.)
4579 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4580 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4581
4582 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4583 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still

4638PH/34 Change 4.50/80 broke Exim in that it could no longer handle cases where
4639 the uid or gid is negative. A case of a negative gid caused this to be

PH
4648PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4649 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4650 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4651 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4652 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4653 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4654 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4655
4656 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4657 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4658 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4659 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4660 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4661
4662 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4663 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4664 routed further.

4666PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner.
4667 It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
4668 background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
4669 connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
4670 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
4671 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

4685PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
4686 bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which
4687 are as follows:

4689 (a) An SMTP error message from a remote host;
4690 (b) A message specified in a :fail: redirection;
4691 (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
4692 (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
4693 (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
4694
4695 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
4696 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
4697 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

4705PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
4706 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
4707 writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
4708 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4709 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4710 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4711 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4712 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4713 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
4714 the log output.

4723A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4724----------------------------------------
4725
4726Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4727changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4728needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4729in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4730that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4731release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4732from 4.43.
4733
4734I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
47354.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4736those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4737historical information.

4755 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4756 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4757 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4758 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4759 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

4761 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
4762
4763 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4764 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4765 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4766 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

4768 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
4769 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
4770 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
4771 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
4772 control that does not make sense is encountered.

481322. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4814 ignore_target_hosts.
4815
481623. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4817 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4818 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4819 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4820 "[x.x.x.x]".
4821
7d468ab8
PH
482224. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4823 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4824 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4825
482625. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4827 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4828 wake it up if nothing else does.
4829
62c0818f
PH
483026. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4831 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4832 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4833 end up negative.
4834
26034054
PH

PH
484029. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4841 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4842 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4843 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4844 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4845 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4846 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4847 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
4848
d8ef3577
PH
484930. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
4850 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
4851 than one IP address.
4852
5cb8cbc6
PH
485331. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4854 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
4855 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
4856 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
4857
14702f5b
PH
485832. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4859 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4860 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4861 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4862 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4863 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4864
063b1e99
PH
486533. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4866 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4867 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4868 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4869
652e1b65
PH
487034. 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.
4873
6f0c9a4f
PH
487435. 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
33397d19
PH
487836. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4879 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4880 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4881 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4882 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4883 very small.
4884
7bb56e1f
PH
488537. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
4886
4887 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
4888 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
4889
ea3bc19b
PH
4890 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
4891 just the host names, not the priorities.
4892
4893 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
4894 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
4895 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 4896
ea3bc19b 4897 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 4898 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 4899

4901 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
4902 domain.

PH
490941. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails

4921 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the

PH
494752. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
4948 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
4949 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
4950 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
4951 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
4952 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
4953 is going on).

PH
496054. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
4961 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
4962 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
4963
4964 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
4965 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
4966 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
4967 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
4968 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
4969 so I produce this patch..."
4970
3295e65b
PH
4971 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
4972 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
4973 is not defined.

497555. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
4976 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52

4977 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
4978 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

498959. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
4990
4991 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
4992 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
4993 of $primary_hostname.

b975ba52
PH
499560. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
4996 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
4997 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
4998 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
4999 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5000 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5001 by change 4.50/55 above.
5002
5003 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5004 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5005 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5006 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5007 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5008 running as the user.

5022 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5023 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.

502564. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5026 This has been fixed.
5027
60dc5e56
PH
502865. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5029 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5030 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5031 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5032 the caching.)
5033
533244af
PH
503466. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5035
a5a28604
PH
503667. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5037 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5038 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5039 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5040
7e634d24
PH
504168. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5042 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5043
3e11c26b
PH
504469. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5045 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5046 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5047
6729cf78
PH
504870. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5049 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5050 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5051 message there.
5052
00f00ca5
PH
505371. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5054 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5055 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5056
c9bdd01c
PH
505772. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5058 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5059 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5060 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5061
d43194df
PH
506273. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5063 during host lookups.
5064
fe5b5d0b
PH
506574. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5066 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5067
5068 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5069
76a2d7ba
PH
507075. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5071 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5072 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5073 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5074 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5075 background.
5076
507776. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5078 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5079
04f7d5b9
PH
508077. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5081 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5082 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5083
bc60667e
PH
508478. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5085
bb6e88ff
PH
508679. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5087 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5088 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5089 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5090 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5091 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5092 process earlier.
5093
1e70f85b
PH
509480. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5095 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5096 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5097 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5098 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5099
510081. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5101 tables).
5102
4e01f9d6
PH
510382. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith.

5114----------------------------------------------------
5115See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5116----------------------------------------------------
5117
5118
5119Exim version 4.44
5120-----------------
5121
5122 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5123 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5124 transport
5125
5126 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5127 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5128 place.
5129
5130 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5131 filter fails to execute.
5132
5133 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5134 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5135 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5136 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5137 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5138
5139 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5140 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5141 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5142 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5143
5144 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5145 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5146 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5147 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5148 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5149
5150 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5151
5152 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5153 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5154 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5155 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5156
5157 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5158 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5159 sender verification.
5160
516110. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5162 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5163
516411. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5165 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5166
516712. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5168 ignore_target_hosts.
5169
517013. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5171 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5172 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5173 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5174 "[x.x.x.x]".
5175
517614. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5177 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5178 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5179
518015. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5181 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5182 wake it up if nothing else does.
5183
518416. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5185 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5186 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5187 end up negative.
5188
518917. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5190 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5191
ea3a6f44 519218. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5193
519419. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5195 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5196 empty pattern.
5197
519820. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5199 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5200 one IP address.
5201
ea3a6f44
NM
520221. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5203 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5204 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5205 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5206 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5207 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5208
ea3a6f44
NM
520922. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5210 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5211 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5212
521323. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5214 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5215 $sender_host_address.
5216
521724. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5218
ea3a6f44
NM
521925. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5220 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5221 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5222
522326. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5224 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5225
ea3a6f44
NM
522627. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5227 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5228
ea3a6f44
NM
522928. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5230 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5231 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5232 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
5233
523429. eximstats updated to version 1.35
5235 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
5236 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
5237
ea3a6f44
NM
523830. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5239 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5240 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5241 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 5242
ea3a6f44
NM
524331. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5244 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5245 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 5246
ea3a6f44
NM
524731. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5248 autoreply.
bbe902f0 5249
ea3a6f44
NM
525032. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5251 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5252 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5253 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5254 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5255 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5256 is going on).
bbe902f0 5257
ea3a6f44
NM
525833. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5259 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5260 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5261 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0
PH
5262 CAN-2005-0021
5263
ea3a6f44
NM
526434. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5265 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5266 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5267 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5268 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5269 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5270 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5271
5272 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5273 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5274 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5275 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5276 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5277 running as the user.
bbe902f0
PH
5278 CAN-2005-0021
5279
ea3a6f44
NM
528035. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5281 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5282 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
bbe902f0
PH
5283 CAN-2005-0022
5284
ea3a6f44
NM
528536. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5286 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5287 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5288 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5289 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 5290
ea3a6f44
NM
529137. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5292 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5293 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5294 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5295 the caching.)
bbe902f0 5296
ea3a6f44
NM
529738. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5298 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5299 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5300 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5301 because the tests only now provoked it.

5304Exim version 4.43
5305-----------------
5306
5307 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5308 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5309 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5310 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5311 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5312 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5313 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5314
5315 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5316 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5317 the delivery.
5318
5319 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5320
5321 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5322
5323 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5324 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5325 to local_scan().
5326
5327 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5328 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5329 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5330 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5331 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5332
5333 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5334 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5335
5336 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5337
5338 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5339
534010. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5341 header_sender only.
5342
534311. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5344 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5345
534612. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5347 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5348 affecting debugging statements).
5349
535013. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5351
535214. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5353 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5354 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5355 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5356 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5357 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5358 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5359 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5360 after the received time, and all would be well.
5361
536215. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5363 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5364 condition in an expansion string.
5365
536616. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5367
536817. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5369 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5370 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5371 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5372 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5373 job under whatever limits there are.
5374
537518. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5376
537719. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5378 space).
5379
538020. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5381 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5382 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5383 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5384 return path is set.
5385
538621. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5387 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5388 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5389 binary data in such strings.
5390
539122. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5392
539323. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5394 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5395 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5396 failure, which is pointless.
5397
539824. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5399
540025. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5401
540226. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5403 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5404 Sender: header lines.
5405
540627. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5407 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5408 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5409
541028. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5411 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5412 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5413 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5414 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5415 happens.
5416
541729. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5418 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5419 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5420 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5421 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5422
542330. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5424 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5425 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5426 1024.
5427
542831. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5429 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5430
543132. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5432 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5433
543433. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5435
543632. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5437
543833. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5439
544034. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5441 syntax error.
5442
544335. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5444
544536. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5446
544737. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5448 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5449 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5450 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5451
545238. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5453 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5454
5455
5456Exim version 4.42
5457-----------------
5458
5459 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5460 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5461 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5462 it was not quoted.
5463 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5464 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5465 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5466 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5467 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5468 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5469
5470 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5471 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5472 verification failure".
5473
5474 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5475 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5476 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5477 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5478
5479 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5480 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5481 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5482 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5483 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5484 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5485 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5486 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5487 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5488 treated as a timeout.
5489
5490 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5491 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5492 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5493 not set for Exim filters).
5494
5495 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5496 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5497 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5498
5499 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5500
5501 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5502 try to make them clearer.
5503
5504 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5505 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5506
5507 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5508
5509 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5510
551110. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5512 only the Cygwin environment.
5513
551411. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5515 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5516 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5517 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5518 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5519
552012. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5521 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5522 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5523 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5524 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5525 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5526 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5527
552813. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5529 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5530
553114. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5532
5533 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5534 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5535 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5536
5537 To: susanne@some.where
5538
5539 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5540 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5541 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5542 of addresses in From: header lines).
5543
5544 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5545 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5546 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5547
5548 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5549 treated as non-personal.
5550
5551 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5552 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5553
555415. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5555
555616. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5557
555817. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5559 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5560 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5561
556218. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5563 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5564
556519. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5566 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5567 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5568 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5569 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5570 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5571
557220. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5573 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5574 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5575 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5576 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5577 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5578 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5579 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5580
5581 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5582
558321. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5584 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5585
558622. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5587 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5588 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5589
559023. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5591 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5592
559324. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5594 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5595 rather than long int.
5596
559725. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5598
559926. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5600
5601
5602Exim version 4.41
5603-----------------
5604
5605 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5606 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5607 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5608 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5609 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5610 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5611
5612
5613Exim version 4.40
5614-----------------
5615
5616 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5617 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5618
5619 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5620 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5621 socklen_t is defined.
5622
5623 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5624 always exist.
5625
5626 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5627 configured.
5628
5629 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5630 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5631 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5632 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5633 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5634
5635 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5636 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5637 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5638 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5639
5640 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5641 of flapping under certain conditions.
5642
5643 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5644 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5645 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5646
5647 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5648
564910. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5650
565111. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5652 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5653 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5654 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5655
565612. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5657 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5658 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5659 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5660 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5661 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5662 preserved with the message after it was received.
5663
566413. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5665 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5666 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5667 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5668 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5669 test suite worked just fine.
5670
567114. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5672 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5673 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5674
567515. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5676 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5677 string.
5678
567916. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5680 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5681 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5682 does not fully solve it.
5683
568417. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5685 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5686 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5687 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5688 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5689
569018. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5691 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5692 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5693
569419. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5695 string, for example:
5696
5697 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5698
5699 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5700 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5701 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5702 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5703 the routers could not see them.
5704
570520. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5706 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5707
570821. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5709 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5710 output).
5711
571222. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5713 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5714 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5715 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5716 that needed quoting.
5717
571823. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5719 was not being matched caselessly.
5720
572124. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5722 backslashes.
5723
572425. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5725 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5726 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5727 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5728 when use_sender is false.
5729
573026. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5731
573227. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5733
573428. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5735
573629. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5737 the configuration file.
5738
573930. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5740 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5741
574231. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5743
574432. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5745 bytes in the message body.
5746
574733. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5748 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5749 delivery.
5750
575134. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5752
575335. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5754
575536. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5756 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5757 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5758 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5759 another IP address.
5760
5761
5762Exim version 4.34
5763-----------------
5764
5765 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5766 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5767
5768 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5769 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5770 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5771 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5772 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5773
5774 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5775 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5776
5777 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5778 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5779 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5780
5781 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5782 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5783 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5784
5785 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5786 for routers.
5787
5788 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5789 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5790 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5791 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5792 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5793 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5794 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5795
5796
5797Exim version 4.33
5798-----------------
5799
5800 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5801 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5802 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5803 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5804 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5805 default (and expected) setting.
5806
5807 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5808 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5809 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5810 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5811
5812 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5813 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5814
5815 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5816 in domain lists.
5817
5818 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5819 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5820 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5821 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5822 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5823 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5824
5825 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5826 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5827 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5828
5829 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5830 part (NOT match_host).
5831
5832 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5833
5834 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5835 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5836 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5837 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5838 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5839 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5840 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5841 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5842 the same named file.
5843
584410. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5845 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5846 when Exim is built.
5847
584811. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5849 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5850 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5851 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5852 a host name.
5853
585412. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5855 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5856 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5857
585813. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5859
586014. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5861
586215. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5863
586416. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5865 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5866
586717. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5868 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5869 before starting the TLS session.
5870
587118. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5872
587319. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5874 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5875
587620. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5877 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5878 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5879 colon in the middle).
5880
5881
5882Exim version 4.32
5883-----------------
5884
5885 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5886 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5887 multiple configurations are in use.
5888
5889 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5890 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5891 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5892 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5893 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5894 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5895
5896 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5897 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5898
5899 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5900 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5901 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5902
5903 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5904 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5905 occurs.
5906
5907 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
5908 that used bh_ and bheader_.
5909
5910 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
5911
5912 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
5913 allowing one more file than it should have been.
5914
5915 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
5916
5917 -prval:sval
5918
5919 is equivalent to
5920
5921 -oMr rval -oMs sval
5922
5923 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
5924 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
5925 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
5926 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
5927 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
5928
592910. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
5930 Exim's behaviour:
5931
5932 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
5933 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
5934 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
5935 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
5936 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
5937 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
5938
5939 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
5940 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
5941 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
5942 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
5943 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
5944 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
5945 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
5946 string.
5947
5948 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
5949 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
5950 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
5951 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
5952 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
5953
595411. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
5955
595612. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
5957 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
5958 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
5959
596013. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
5961
596214. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
5963 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
5964 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
5965 information.
5966
596715. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
5968 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
5969
597016. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
5971 Three changes have been made:
5972
5973 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
5974 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
5975 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
5976 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
5977 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
5978
5979 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
5980 been restored.
5981
5982 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
5983 the modified behaviour.
5984
5985
5986Exim version 4.31
5987-----------------
5988
5989 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
5990 Larry Rosenman.
5991
5992 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
5993 indeed breaks things for older releases.
5994
5995 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
5996 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
5997 try to track down a specific problem.
5998
5999 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6000 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6001 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6002
6003 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6004 warning.
6005
6006 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6007 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6008 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6009 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6010 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6011 some earlier ones do not.
6012
6013 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6014
6015 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6016 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6017 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6018 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6019 address literals are enabled, of course).
6020
6021 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6022
602310. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6024 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6025 by a command such as
6026
6027 exim -f "" ...
6028
6029 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6030
603111. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6032
603312. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6034 remained set. It is now erased.
6035
603613. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6037 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6038
603914. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6040 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6041 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6042 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6043 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6044 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6045 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6046 appropriate error code.
6047
604815. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6049 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6050 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6051 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6052 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6053 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6054
605516. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6056 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6057 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6058
605917. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6060 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6061 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6062 terminate the header.
6063
606418. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6065 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6066 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6067
606819. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6069 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6070 (4.30/29). In particular:
6071
6072 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6073 imposed.
6074
6075 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6076 to write a maildirsize file.
6077
6078 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6079 the transport, the new value overrides.
6080
6081 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6082 count.
6083
608420. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6085 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6086 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6087 space or a tab.
6088
608921. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6090 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6091 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6092 the fallback hosts.
6093
609422. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6095 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6096 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6097
609823. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6099 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6100 using a union.
6101
610224. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6103 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6104 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6105
610625. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6107
610826. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6109
611027. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6111
611228. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6113 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6114 become corrupted.
6115
611629. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6117 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6118 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6119 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6120 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6121 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6122 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6123 too great.
6124
612530. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6126 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6127 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6128 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6129 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6130 incorrectly.
6131
613231. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6133 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6134 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6135 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6136 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6137 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6138 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6139 cached value only when the same options are set.
6140
614132. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6142
614333. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6144 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6145 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6146 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6147 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6148
614934: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6150 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6151 it is clearly obsolete.
6152
615335. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6154 transport.
6155
615636. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6157 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6158 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6159 times.
6160
616137. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6162 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6163 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6164 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6165 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6166
616738. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6168 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6169 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6170 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6171
617239. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6173
6174 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6175
6176 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6177 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6178 2^31.
6179
618040. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6181 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6182 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6183 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6184 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6185 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6186 $localpart_data.
6187
618841. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6189 with the -f command-line option.
6190
619142. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6192 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6193 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6194 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6195 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6196 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6197
619843. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6199 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6200 line.
6201
620244. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6203 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6204 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6205 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6206 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6207 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6208 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6209 buffer is too small.
6210
621145. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6212 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6213
621446. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6215 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6216 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6217 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6218 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6219 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6220 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6221 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6222 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6223
622447. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6225 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6226 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6227
622848. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6229 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6230 ACL").
6231
623249. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6233 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6234 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6235 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6236 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6237
623850. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6239 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6240 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6241 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6242 is set.
6243
624451. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6245
624652. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6247
624853. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6249 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6250
625154. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6252 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6253 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6254
625555. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6256 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6257 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6258 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6259 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6260
626156. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6262 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6263 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6264 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6265 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6266 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6267 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6268
626957. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6270 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6271 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6272 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6273 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6274 the test of how many are available.
6275
627658. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6277 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6278 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6279 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6280 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6281 new message is started.
6282
628359. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6284 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6285
628660. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6287 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6288
628961. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6290 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6291 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6292 is no long logged.
6293
629462. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6295 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6296 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6297 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6298 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6299 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6300 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6301
630263. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6303 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6304 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6305 interpreted as octal.
6306
630764. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6308 setting.
6309
631065. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6311 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6312 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6313 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6314 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6315 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6316
631766. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6318 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6319 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6320 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6321
6322 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6323 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6324 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6325 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6326
6327 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6328 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6329 is a bug fix.
6330
6331 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6332 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6333
633467. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6335
633668. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6337 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6338 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6339 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6340
634169. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6342 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6343 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6344 supplied", which is not helpful.
6345
634670. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6347 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6348 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6349
635071. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6351 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6352 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6353 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6354 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6355 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6356 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6357 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6358
635972. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6360 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6361 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6362 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6363 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6364
636573. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6366 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6367 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6368 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6369 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6370 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6371
637274. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6373 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6374 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6375
637675. Added write_rejectlog option.
6377
637876. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6379 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6380 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6381 variables.
6382
638377. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6384
638578. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6386 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6387 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6388 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6389 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6390 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6391 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6392 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6393
639479. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6395 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6396 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6397 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6398 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6399
640080. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6401 Haardt.
6402
640381. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6404 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6405 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6406 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6407 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6408 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6409 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6410 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6411 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6412
6413
6414Exim version 4.30
6415-----------------
6416
6417 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6418 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6419 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6420
6421 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6422 fixed.
6423
6424 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6425 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6426 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6427
6428 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6429 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6430 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6431 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6432 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6433 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6434
6435 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6436 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6437 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6438 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6439 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6440 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6441 the Exim test suite.
6442
6443 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6444 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6445 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6446 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6447
6448 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6449 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6450 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6451 specify it in this variable.
6452
6453 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6454 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6455 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6456 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6457
6458 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6459 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6460 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6461 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6462
6463 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6464 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6465 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6466 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6467 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6468
6469 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6470
647110. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6472 they are logged.
6473
647411. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6475 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6476 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6477 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6478 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6479
648012. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6481 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6482
648313. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6484 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6485 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6486 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6487 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6488
648914. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6490 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6491
649215. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6493 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6494 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6495
649616. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6497 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6498
649917. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6500 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6501
650218. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6503 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6504 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6505
650619. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6507 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6508
650920. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6510 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6511 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6512 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6513
651421. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6515
651622. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6517 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6518 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6519 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6520
652123. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6522
652324. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6524 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6525
652625. Added .include_if_exists.
6527
652826. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6529 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6530 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6531 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6532 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6533 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6534
653527. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6536
653728. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6538 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6539 this.
6540
654129. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6542
654330. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6544 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6545
6546 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6547 550 Sender verify failed
6548
6549 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6550 the final line of the response.
6551
655231. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6553 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6554 all other user lookups.
6555
655632. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6557 delivery time.
6558
655933. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6560 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6561 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6562 result into an int without checking.
6563
656434. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6565 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6566 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6567
656835. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6569 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6570 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6571 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6572
657336. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6574 correctly.
6575
657637. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6577 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6578
657938. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6580 to the empty sender.
6581
658239. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6583 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6584 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6585 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6586 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6587 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6588 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6589 panic log.
6590
659140. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6592 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6593 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6594 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6595 used.
6596
659741. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6598 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6599
660042. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6601 timestamps.
6602
660343. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6604 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6605
660644. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6607
660845. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6609 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6610 logs.
6611
661246. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6613 as soon as it is encountered.
6614
661547. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6616
661748. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6618 rewritten to "<>".
6619
662049. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6621 recognizes a tab character.
6622
662350. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6624 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6625 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6626 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6627
662851. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6629
663052. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6631 crash.
6632
663353. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6634
663554. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6636
663755. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6638 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6639 2822.
6640
664156. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6642 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6643 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6644 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6645 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6646
664757. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6648 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6649
665058. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6651 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6652 list (.included file names were always shown).
6653
665459. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6655 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6656 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6657 root at that time.
6658
665960. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6660 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6661
666261. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6663
666462. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6665
666663. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6667
666864. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6669 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6670 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6671 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6672 failures to open the logs.
6673
667465. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6675 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6676 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6677 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6678 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6679 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6680 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6681
6682
6683Exim version 4.24
6684-----------------
6685
6686 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6687 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6688 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6689 change 4.23/1.
6690
6691 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6692 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6693 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6694
6695 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6696 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6697 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6698
6699 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6700 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6701 causing some misleading effects.
6702
6703 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6704 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6705 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6706
6707 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6708 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6709 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6710 queue-runner function directly.
6711
6712
6713Exim version 4.23
6714-----------------
6715
6716 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6717 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6718
6719 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6720 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6721 was always written to the default place.
6722
6723 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6724 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6725 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6726
6727 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6728
6729 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6730
6731 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6732 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6733 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6734
6735 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6736 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6737 must start.
6738
6739 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6740 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6741 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6742
6743 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6744 command line option is disabled.
6745
6746 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6747 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6748
6749 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6750
6751 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6752
6753 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6754 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6755
675610. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6757
675811. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6759 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6760 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6761 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6762 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6763 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6764
676512. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6766 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6767 timeout.
6768
676913. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6770 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6771
677214. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6773 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6774
677515. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6776 received was valid base64.
6777
677816. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6779 name of the variable that was being set.
6780
678117. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6782
678318. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6784 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6785 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6786 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6787 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6788 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6789
679019. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6791
679220. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6793 nor realm was specified.
6794
679521. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6796 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6797 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6798 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6799
680022. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6801 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6802 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6803
680423. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6805 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6806 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6807
680824. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6809 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6810 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6811 some systems use these upper case variants.
6812
681325. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6814 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6815 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6816 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6817
681826. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6819
682027. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6821 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6822
682328. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6824 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6825 expansion variable.
6826
682729. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6828
682930. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6830 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6831 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6832 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6833
683431. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6835 using it.
6836
683732. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6838 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6839 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6840
684133. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6842 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6843
684434. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6845 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6846 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6847 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6848
684935. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6850 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6851 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6852
685336. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6854
685537. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6856 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6857 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6858 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6859 aborted.
6860
686138. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6862 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6863 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6864
686539. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6866
686740. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6868 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6869
687041. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6871 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6872
687342. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6874 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6875 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6876 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6877 when emails are that large.
6878
6879
6880
6881Exim version 4.22
6882-----------------
6883
6884 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6885 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6886
6887 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6888 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6889 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6890
6891 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6892 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6893 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6894
6895 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6896 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6897 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6898 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6899 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6900
6901 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6902 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6903 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6904 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6905 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6906 ever.
6907
6908 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
6909 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
6910 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
6911 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
6912 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
6913 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
6914 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
6915 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
6916 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
6917 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
6918 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
6919 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
6920 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
6921 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
6922
6923 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
6924 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
6925 parameterised it.
6926
6927 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
6928 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
6929 error should be diagnosed.
6930
6931 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
6932 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
6933 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
6934 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
6935 appeared instead of "NULL".
6936
693710. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
6938 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
6939 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
6940 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
6941 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
6942 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
6943 proceeds).
6944
6945 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
6946 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
6947 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
6948
6949
6950Exim version 4.21
6951-----------------
6952
6953 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
6954 or receiver verification errors.
6955
6956 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
6957 name.
6958
6959 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
6960 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
6961 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
6962 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
6963
6964 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
6965 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
6966 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
6967 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
6968 shouldn't happen again.
6969
6970 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
6971 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
6972 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
6973
6974 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
6975 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
6976
6977 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
6978
6979 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
6980 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
6981
6982 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
6983 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
6984 RFC.
6985
698610. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
6987 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
6988 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
6989
699011. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
6991 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
6992 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
6993 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
6994
699512. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
6996 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
6997 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
6998 to define what should happen).
6999
700013. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7001 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7002 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7003
700414. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7005
700615. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7007
700816. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7009 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7010
4c04137d 701117. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7012 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7013 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7014 structure in all cases.
7015
7016 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7017 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7018 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7019 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7020
702118. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7022 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7023 domain name.
7024
702519. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7026 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7027
702820. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7029 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7030
703121. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7032 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7033 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7034
703522. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7036 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7037 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7038
703923. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7040 the book and for uniformity.
7041
704224. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7043
704425. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7045 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7046 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7047 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7048 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7049 non-existent command as the problem.
7050
705126. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7052 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7053 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7054
705527. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7056
705728. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7058 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7059 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7060
706129. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7062 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7063 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7064 timestamps using strftime().
7065
706630. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7067 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7068
706932. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7070 transport-time rewrites.
7071
707233. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7073 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7074 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7075 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7076
707734. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7078 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7079
708035. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7081 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7082 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7083 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7084 comma and a space.
7085
708636. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7087 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7088 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7089 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7090 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7091 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7092 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7093
709437. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7095 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7096 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7097 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7098 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7099
710038. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7101 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7102 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7103 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7104 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7105 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7106 remaining text gets split now.
7107
710839. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7109 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7110 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7111 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7112
711340. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7114 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7115 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7116 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7117 $return_path.
7118
711941. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7120 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7121 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7122 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7123 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7124 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7125 passed through if needed.
7126
712742. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7128 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7129 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7130 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7131 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7132 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7133
713443. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7135 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7136 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7137 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7138 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7139
714044. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7141 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7142 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7143 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7144 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7145
714645. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7147 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7148 noticed.
7149
715046. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7151 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7152 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7153 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7154 mayhem of various kinds.
7155
715647. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7157 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7158 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7159 the right test for positive values.
7160
716148. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7162 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7163 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7164 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7165 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7166 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7167 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7168 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7169 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7170 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7171 envelope.
7172
717349. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7174 module.
7175
717650. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7177 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7178 forbidding it.
7179
718051. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7181 the existing equality matching.
7182
718352. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7184 dealing with inode numbers.
7185
718653. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7187 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7188 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7189
719054. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7191 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7192 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7193 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7194 local_scan().
7195
719655. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7197 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7198 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7199 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7200 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7201 relay addresses has also been removed.
7202
720356. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7204
720557. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7206 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7207 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7208
720958. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7210 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7211 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7212 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7213 processing applies to CR:
7214
7215 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7216 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7217
7218 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7219 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7220 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7221 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7222
722359. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7224 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7225 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7226
722760. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7228 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7229 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7230 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7231 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7232 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7233 arisen.
7234
723561. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7236 program routers.
7237
723862. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7239 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7240 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7241 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7242 adds:
7243
7244 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7245
7246 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7247
7248 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7249
725063. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7251 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7252 not considered personal.
7253
725464. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7255
725665. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7257
725866. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7259
726067. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7261 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7262 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7263 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7264 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7265 header lines, and spool format errors.
7266
726768. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7268 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7269 for more flexibility.
7270
727169. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7272 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7273 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7274
727570. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7276 Sabourenkov.
7277
727871. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7279 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7280 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7281 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7282 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7283 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7284 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7285 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7286 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7287
728872. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7289 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7290 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7291 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7292 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7293 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7294 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7295
729673. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7297 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7298 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7299
730074. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7301 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7302 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7303 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7304 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7305 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7306 instead of killing the process with assert().
7307
730875. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7309 than Unicode encoding.
7310
731176. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7312 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7313 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7314 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7315
731677. Added process_log_path.
7317
731878. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7319 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7320
732179. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7322 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7323
732480. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7325 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7326 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7327
732881. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7329 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7330 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7331 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7332 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7333 were applied:
7334
7335 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7336 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7337 as invalid.
7338
733982. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7340 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7341 they will be used during message reception.
