8Exim version 4.93
9-----------------
10
8a40db1c
JH
11JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
12 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 13
fc243e94 14JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
15 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
16 its own TCP segment.

18JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
19 each verb.

21JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.

fe12ec88
JH
23JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
24
05bf16f6
JH
25JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
26 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
27
fc243e94
JH
28JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
29 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
30 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
31 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
32 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
33 suitably configured).

JH
38JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
39 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
40 crash could result.

43Exim version 4.92
44-----------------
45
9723f966
JH
46JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
47 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
48
49JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
50 non-signal-safe functions being used.
51
52JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
53 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
54 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 55
ea7b1f16
JH
56JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
57 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
58 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
59
cfbb0d24
JH
60JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
61 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
62 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
63 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
64 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
65 messed with.
66

PP
67PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
68 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
69
1bd642c2
JH
70JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
71 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
72 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
73 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
74 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
75 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
76 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
77
2ddb4094
JH
78JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
79 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
80
1613fd68
JH
81JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
82 legitimate.
83
e6057245

84JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
85 Previously this would segfault.

JH
87JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
88 segfault.
89
d8d9f930
JH
90JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
91 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
92 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
93 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
94 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
95 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
96
61e3f250
JH
97JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
98
7a8b9519
JH
99JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
100 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
101 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
102 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
103
49e56fb3
JH
104JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
105
74f1a423
JH
106JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
107 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
108 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
109 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
110
5054c4fd 111JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.

JH
115JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
116 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
117 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
118
8c34c611
JH
119JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
120 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
121 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.

JH
125JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
126 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
127 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
128 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.

PP
134PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
135
8768d548
JH
136JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
137 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
138 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
139 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
140 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
141
5455f548
JH
142JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
143 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
144 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
145

MK
146JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
147 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
148 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
149
7ea1237c 150JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 151 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
152 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
153
ebda598a
JH
154JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
155 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
156 hope that is portable enough.
157
570cb1bd
JH
158JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
159 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
160 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
161 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
162
eb58ddf5
JH
163JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
164 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
165 SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
166
ffbc20ed
MK
167JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
168 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
169 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
170 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
171
4e928780
MK
172JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
173 msg:fail:internal event. Developement by Matthias Kurz.
174
75c121f0 175JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
059f2ace 176 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all
75c121f0
JH
177 the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
178 overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
179
e30f4f43
JH
180JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
181 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
182 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
183
a45431fa
JH
184JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
185 platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
186 (i.e. more than 2 TB). Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
187 the previous G, M, k.
188

JH
189JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
190 $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure. Previously
191 it was unset.
192
6aac3239
JH
193JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048. RHEL 8.0
194 OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key. Do for GnuTLS also, and for
195 more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
196 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.
197
5a2a0989
JH
198JH/35 OpenSSL: fail the handshake when SNI processing hits a problem, server
199 side. Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.
200
de6f74f2 201JH/36 Harden the handling of string-lists. When a list consisted of a sole
b72f857f
JH
202 "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked
203 off past the nul-terimation.
204
de6f74f2
JH
205JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external
206 causes) even when the retry time is not yet met. Previously they were
207 not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting,
208 and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get
209 notified on each configured delay_warning cycle.
210
aa6e77af 211JH/38 Bug 2351: Log failures to extract envelope addresses from message headers.
aaf3e414 212
25fa0868
JH
213JH/39 OpenSSL: clear the error stack after an SSL_accept(). With anon-auth
214 cipher-suites, an error can be left on the stack even for a succeeding
215 accept; this results in impossible error messages when a later operation
216 actually does fail.
217
cb6bd80f
JH
218AM/01 Bug 2359: GnuTLS: repeat lowlevel read and write operations while they
219 return error codes indicating retry. Under TLS1.3 this becomes required.
220
221JH/40 Fix the feature-cache refresh for EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT. Previously
222 it only wrote the new authenticators, resulting in a lack of tracking of
223 peer changes of ESMTP extensions until the next cache flush.
518b70e9 224
56ac062a
JH
225JH/41 Fix the loop reading a message header line to check for integer overflow,
226 and more-often against header_maxsize. Previously a crafted message could
227 induce a crash of the recive process; now the message is cleanly rejected.
228

c39c8870 236GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
bb264f6b
JH
237 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
238 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
239 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
240 next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
241 be defined in redis_servers.

a05d3e34
JH
257JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
258 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
259 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
260 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
261 input.
262
ce93c6d8
JH
263JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
264 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
265 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
266 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
267 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
268 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
269 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
270 Main pool for expansions.
271 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
272 active in the testsuite.
273 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.

JH
275JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
276 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
277 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
278 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
279 round-robin DNS.

JH
281JH/07 Bug 2214: Fix SMTP responses resulting from non-accept result of MIME ACL.
282 Previously a spurious "250 OK id=" response was appended to the proper
283 failure response.

285JH/08 The "support for" informational output now, which built with Content
286 Scanning support, has a line for the malware scanner interfaces compiled

JH
299JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating
300 SMTP connection. Previously, when one had more receipients than the
301 first, an abortive onward connection was made. Move to full support for
302 multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
303 for all multi-message initiating connections.
304
f83a760f
JH
305JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by
306 routers. Previously, a multi-recipient message would fail to match the
307 onward-connection opened for the first recipient, and cause its closure.
308
f1fed05b
JH
309JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
310 a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
311 initiating connection being dropped. This mattered most when the callout
312 was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
313 separate.
314
051d5efa
JH
315JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in
316 unsupported situations, from error to silently (except under debug)

JH
380JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
381 as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
382 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
383 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
384 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
385 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
386 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
387 receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
388 (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).
389 Discovered and pinpointed by David Carter.

504JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the

507 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
508 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
509 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
510 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.

1587TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1588
1589 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1590 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1591 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1592 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1593 the retry rules.
1594
1595 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1596 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1597 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1598
1599 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1600 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1601 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1602 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1603
1ddeb334
TF
1604 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1605 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1606 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1607 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1608 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1609 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1610 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1611
1612 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1613 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1620
1621 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1622 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1623 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1624 username as equal to the username.
1625

1653 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

1935TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1936 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1937 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1938
1939 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1940 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1941 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1942 not safe for signals.
1943
1944 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1945 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1946 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1947 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1948 exiwhat.

TF
1950TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1951
1952 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1953 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1954 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1955 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1956 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1957
1958 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1959 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1960 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1961 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1962 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1963 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1964
1965 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1966 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1967 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1968 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1969
1970 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1971 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1972 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1973 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1974
1975 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1976 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1977 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1978 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1979 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1980 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1981 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1982 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1983 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1984
1985 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1986 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1987 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1988 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1989
1990 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1991 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1992 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1993 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1994 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1995 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1996 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1997 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1998 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1999 details in the main documentation.

2569-----------------
2570
2571PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2572
6a3bceb1
PH
2573PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2574 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2575 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2576 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2577 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2578 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2579 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2580 for iplsearch lookups.
2581
2582 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2583 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2584 previously such lookups could never work.
2585
4c04137d 2586 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2587 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2588 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2593MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2594 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2595 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2596 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2597 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2598 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2603MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2604 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2605 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2606 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2607 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2608 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2791PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2792 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2794 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2795 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2796 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2797 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2871 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2872 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2873 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2874 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2875 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2876 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2877 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2878 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2889PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2890 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2891
2892 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2893 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2894
2895 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2896 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2897 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2898
2899 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2900 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2901 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2902 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2903 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2919 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2920 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2921 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2922 rather than extend the field.

PH
2947PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2948 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2949 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2950 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2951 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2952 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2953 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2954 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2955 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2956 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2957 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2993 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2994 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2995 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2996 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2997 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2998 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 3001 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
3002 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3003 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3004 function.
3005 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3006 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3007 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3008 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3009 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3010 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3011 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3012 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3013 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3019 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3020 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3021 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3022 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3023 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3024 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3025 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

322050c2
PH
3031PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3032 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3033 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3034 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3035 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3036 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3037 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3038 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3039 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3040 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3041 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3042 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3043 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

3046 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3047 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3048 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3049 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3050 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3051 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

3053PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3054 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3055 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3056 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3057 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3058 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3059 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3060 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3061 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused

3064PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3065 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3066 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3067 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3068 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3070PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3071 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3072 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3073 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3074 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3075 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3076 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3078PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot

3081 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3082 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3083 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3084 been verified.

3115
3116PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3117 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3118 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3119 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3120 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3121 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3122 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3123 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3124 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3125
3126 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3127 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3128 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3129 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3130 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3131 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3132 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3133 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3134 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3135
3136 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3137 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3138 hammering the server.

3154 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

3156 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3157 fails.
3158
48c7f9e2
PH
3159PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3160 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3161 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3162 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3163 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
3164 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3165 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3166 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3167 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3168 smtp transport.

3440 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3441 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3442 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3443 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

3466PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
3467 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
3468 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
3469 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
3470 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
3471 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota

3480PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3481 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3482 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3483 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3484 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3485 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3486 addresses as local.

3565 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3566 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3567 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3568 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3569 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3570 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
3580PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3581 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3582 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3583 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3584 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3585 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3586 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3587 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3588 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3685PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3686 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3687 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3688 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3689 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3690 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3691 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3692 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3693 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

3731
3732 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given

3734 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3735 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3736
3737 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3738 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3739 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3740
3741PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3742 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the

3816 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3817 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3818 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3819 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3820 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3821 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3822 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3823 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3824 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now

3838 after to before the (commented out) DNS black list checks.
3839
3840 (2) Add control=submission to the relay_from_hosts and authenticated
3841 clients checks, on the grounds that messages accepted by these
3842 statements are most likely to be submissions.

3844PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck:
3845
3846 (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is
3847 not a single digit.
3848
3849 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
3850 string.
3851
3852 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
3853 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
3854 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3855 silly things.
3856
3857 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
3858 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
3859
3860 (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result
3861 inside the third argument.

3870PH/05 When a filter generated an autoreply, the entire To: header line was
3871 quoted in the delivery log line, like this:
3872
3873 => >A.N.Other <ano@some.domain> <original@ddress> ...
3874
3875 This has been changed so that it extracts the operative address. There
3876 may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like
3877 this:

PH
3881PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
3882 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
3883 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
3884 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3885 identical. For example:
3886
3887 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3888
3889 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
3890 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
3891 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

3920 Auto-submitted: auto-generated

3922 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as

456682f5
PH
3924 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
3925 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
3926 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3927
3928 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3929
3930 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3931
3932 The auto-replied keyword:
3933
3934 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3935 message by an automatic process,
3936
3937 - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
3938
3939 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
3940 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),

3980PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3981 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3982 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3983 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3984 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3985 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3986 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3987 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3988 the text comparison.

PH
3990PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was

PH
4252PH/01 When a transport filter timed out in a pipe delivery, and the pipe
4253 command itself ended in error, the underlying message about the transport
4254 filter timeout was being overwritten with the pipe command error. Now the
4255 underlying error message should be appended to the second error message.

PH
4262PH/03 The warning log line about a condition test deferring for a "warn" verb
4263 was being output only once per connection, rather than after each
4264 occurrence (because it was using the same function as for successful
4265 "warn" verbs). This seems wrong, so I have changed it.

87ba3f5f
PH
4267TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that
4268 it should not have, which might have caused a crash in the right
4269 circumstances, but probably never did.
4270
4271PH/04 Installed a modified version of Tony Finch's patch to make submission
4272 mode fix the return path as well as the Sender: header line, and to

4274 in the header line.

415c8f3b
PH
4285PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
4286 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
4287 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
4c04137d 4288 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were
415c8f3b
PH
4289 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
4290 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.
11d337a4 4291
958541e9
PH
4292PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
4293 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
4294 write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
4295 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
4296 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4297 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4322TK/06 MBOX spool code: Add real "From " MBOX separator line

4326TK/07 MBOX spool code: Add X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To: headers.

PH
4331PH/08 The ${def test on a variable was returning false if the variable's
4332 value was "0", contrary to what the specification has always said!
4333 The result should be true unless the variable is empty.
4334
4335PH/09 The syntax error of a character other than { following "${if
4336 def:variable_name" (after optional whitespace) was not being diagnosed.
4337 An expansion such as ${if def:sender_ident:{xxx}{yyy}} in which an

PH
4363PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11
4364 above was not the best (it lost precision). The length of off_t variables
4365 is now inspected at build time, and an appropriate printing format (%ld
c6c2dc1d
PH
4366 or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T
4367 to be "long long int" or "long int". This is needed for the internal
4368 formatting function string_vformat().
b1c749bb 4369
4aac9b49
PH
4370PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in
4371 the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where
4372 the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our
4373 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
4374 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
4375 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim
4376 with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it
4377 falls back to the previous guessing code."

TK

PH
4386PH/18 If the "use_postmaster" option was set for a recipient callout together
4387 with the "random" option, the postmaster address was used as the MAIL
4388 FROM address for the random test, but not for the subsequent recipient
4389 test. It is now used for both.

5ea81592
PH
4391PH/19 Applied Michael Haardt's patch to update Sieve to RFC3028bis. "The
4392 patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the
4393 latest draft now contains them. It adds the new en;ascii-case comparator
4394 and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and
4395 require names are now matched exactly. I enabled the subaddress
4396 extension, but it is not well tested yet (read: it works for me)."
4397
c6c2dc1d
PH
4398PH/20 Added macros for time_t as for off_t (see PH/15 above) and used them to
4399 rework some of the code of TK/09 above to avoid the hardwired use of
4400 "%lld" and "long long". Replaced the call to snprintf() with a call to
4401 string_vformat().

4407PH/22 Fixed some oversights/typos causing bugs when Exim is compiled with
4408 experimental DomainKeys support:
4409
4410 (1) The filter variables $n0-$n9 and $sn0-$sn9 were broken.
4411 (2) On an error such as an illegally used "control", the wrong name for
4412 the control was given.

8187c3f3
PH
4420PH/25 Put debug statements on either side of calls to EXIM_DBOPEN() for hints
4421 databases so that it will be absolutely obvious if a crash occurs in the
4422 DB library. This is a regular occurrence (often caused by mis-matched
4423 db.h files).
4424
ff790e47 4425PH/26 Insert a lot of missing (void) casts for functions such as chown(),
f1e894f3
PH
4426 chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were
4427 picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem
4428 to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be
4429 put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have
4430 set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due
4431 course.
ff790e47 4432
5417f6d1
PH
4433PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
4434 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
4435 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
4436 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
4437 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
4438 introduced by 4.51/PH/31.
4439
59cf8544
PH
4440PH/28 Changed -d+all to exclude +memory, because that information is very

e7ad8a65
PH
4444PH/29 Removed support for the Linux-libc5 build, as it is obsolete and the

4447
ade42478
PH
4448PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
4449 aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
4450 don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
4451 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
4452 record types that Exim uses.
4453
182ad5cf
PH
4454PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
4455 not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
4456 prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
4457 data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
4458 non-existent file that was broken.

PH
4469PH/32 In mua_wrapper mode, if an smtp transport configuration error (such as
4470 the use of a port name that isn't defined in /etc/services) occurred, the
4471 message was deferred as in a normal delivery, and thus remained on the
4472 spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This
4473 is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the
4474 same time.

SC
4476SC/08 Eximstats: whilst parsing the mainlog(s), store information about

4479 at a slight CPU cost.

4503PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
4504 to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
4505
4506PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4507 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4508 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4509 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4510 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4511 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4512 file.
4513
4514PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4515 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4516 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4517 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4518 these two options.
4519
4520PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4521 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4522 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4523 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4524 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4525 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4526 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4527 address.
1a46a8c5
PH
4528
4529PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
4530 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
4531
4532PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4533 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4534 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4535 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4536 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4537 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4538
4539PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
4540 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
4541 commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
4542 SMTP commands that take arguments.

PH
4589PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
4590 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
4591 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4592 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4593 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4594 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4595 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
4596 for failure.

PH
4598PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
4599 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
4600 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
4601 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4602 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
4603 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.

4612PH/23 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was expanding server_hostname, but then
4613 forgetting to use the resulting value; it was using the unexpanded value.
4614
c5ddb310
PH
4615PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4616 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4617 understands it better than I do:
4618
4619 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4620 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4621
4622 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4623 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4624 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4625 => three warnings about OTP not working
4626 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4627
4628 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4629 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4630 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4631 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4632 for each call.)
4633 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or

4674 . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established;

PH
4702PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4703 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4704 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4705 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4706 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4707 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4708 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4709
4710 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4711 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4712 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4713 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4714 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4715
4716 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4717 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4718 routed further.

4724 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
4725 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

4751 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

4762 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4763 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4764 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4765 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4766 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4767 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

4777A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4778----------------------------------------
4779
4780Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4781changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4782needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4783in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4784that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4785release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4786from 4.43.
4787
4788I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
47894.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4790those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4791historical information.

4809 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4810 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4811 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4812 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4813 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

4818 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4819 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4820 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

486722. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
4868 ignore_target_hosts.
4869
487023. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
4871 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
4872 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
4873 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
4874 "[x.x.x.x]".
4875
7d468ab8
PH
487624. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
4877 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
4878 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
4879
488025. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
4881 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
4882 wake it up if nothing else does.
4883

PH
488426. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
4885 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
4886 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
4887 end up negative.

PH
489429. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
4895 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
4896 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
4897 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
4898 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
4899 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
4900 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
4901 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
4902
d8ef3577
PH
490330. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
4904 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
4905 than one IP address.
4906
5cb8cbc6
PH
490731. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
4908 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
4909 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
4910 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
4911
14702f5b
PH
491232. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
4913 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
4914 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
4915 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
4916 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
4917 1024 to 2048 bytes.
4918
063b1e99
PH
491933. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
4920 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
4921 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
4922 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
4923
652e1b65
PH
492434. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
4925 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
4926 respected.
4927
6f0c9a4f
PH
492835. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the

4930 $sender_host_address.

PH
493236. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
4933 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
4934 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
4935 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
4936 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
4937 very small.
4938

PH
493937. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
4940
4941 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
4942 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.

PH
4944 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns

4975 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the

500152. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5002 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5003 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5004 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5005 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5006 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5007 is going on).

501454. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5015 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5016 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5017
5018 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5019 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5020 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5021 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5022 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5023 so I produce this patch..."
5024
3295e65b

5026 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5027 is not defined.

5031 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5032 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

504058. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep

504359. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5044
5045 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5046 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5047 of $primary_hostname.

504960. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5050 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5051 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5052 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5053 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5054 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5055 by change 4.50/55 above.
5056
5057 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5058 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5059 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5060 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5061 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5062 running as the user.

PH
507363. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5074 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5075 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5076 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5077 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.

5081
60dc5e56
PH
508265. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5083 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5084 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5085 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5086 the caching.)

509067. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5091 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5092 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5093 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.

PH
510270. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5103 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5104 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5105 message there.

PH
510771. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5108 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5109 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.

PH
511172. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5112 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5113 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5114 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.

511974. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used

5122 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5123

PH
512475. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5125 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5126 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5127 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5128 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5129 background.
5130
513176. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5132 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.

PH
513477. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to

PH
514079. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5141 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5142 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5143 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5144 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5145 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5146 process earlier.

PH
514880. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5149 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5150 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5151 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5152 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.

5168----------------------------------------------------
5169See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5170----------------------------------------------------
5171
5172
5173Exim version 4.44
5174-----------------
5175
5176 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5177 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5178 transport
5179
5180 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5181 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5182 place.
5183
5184 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5185 filter fails to execute.
5186
5187 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5188 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5189 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5190 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5191 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5192
5193 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5194 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5195 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5196 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5197
5198 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5199 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5200 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5201 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5202 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5203
5204 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5205
5206 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5207 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5208 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5209 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5210
5211 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5212 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5213 sender verification.
5214
521510. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5216 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5217
521811. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5219 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5220
522112. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5222 ignore_target_hosts.
5223
522413. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5225 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5226 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5227 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5228 "[x.x.x.x]".
5229
523014. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5231 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5232 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5233
523415. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5235 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5236 wake it up if nothing else does.
5237
523816. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5239 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5240 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5241 end up negative.
5242
524317. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5244 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5245
ea3a6f44 524618. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5247
524819. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5249 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5250 empty pattern.
5251
525220. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5253 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5254 one IP address.
5255
ea3a6f44
NM
525621. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5257 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5258 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5259 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5260 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5261 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5262
ea3a6f44
NM
526322. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5264 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5265 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5266
526723. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5268 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5269 $sender_host_address.
5270
527124. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5272
ea3a6f44
NM
527325. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5274 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5275 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5276
527726. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5278 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5279
ea3a6f44
NM
528027. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5281 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5282
ea3a6f44
NM
528328. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5284 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5285 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5286 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
5287
528829. eximstats updated to version 1.35
5289 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
5290 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly

ea3a6f44
NM
529230. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5293 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5294 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5295 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 5296
ea3a6f44
NM
529731. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5298 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5299 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 5300
ea3a6f44

530131. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5302 autoreply.
bbe902f0 5303
ea3a6f44
NM
530432. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5305 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5306 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5307 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5308 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5309 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5310 is going on).
bbe902f0 5311
ea3a6f44
NM
531233. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5313 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5314 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5315 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0

5316 CAN-2005-0021

531834. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5319 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5320 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5321 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5322 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5323 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5324 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5325
5326 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5327 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5328 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5329 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5330 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5331 running as the user.

535138. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5352 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5353 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5354 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare

5358Exim version 4.43
5359-----------------
5360
5361 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5362 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5363 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5364 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5365 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5366 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5367 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5368
5369 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5370 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5371 the delivery.
5372
5373 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5374
5375 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5376
5377 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5378 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5379 to local_scan().
5380
5381 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5382 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5383 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5384 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5385 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5386
5387 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5388 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5389
5390 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5391
5392 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5393
539410. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5395 header_sender only.
5396
539711. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5398 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5399
540012. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5401 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5402 affecting debugging statements).
5403
540413. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5405
540614. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5407 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5408 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5409 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5410 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5411 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5412 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5413 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5414 after the received time, and all would be well.
5415
541615. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5417 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5418 condition in an expansion string.
5419
542016. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5421
542217. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5423 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5424 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5425 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5426 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5427 job under whatever limits there are.
5428
542918. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5430
543119. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5432 space).
5433
543420. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5435 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5436 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5437 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5438 return path is set.
5439
544021. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5441 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5442 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5443 binary data in such strings.
5444
544522. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5446
544723. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5448 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5449 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5450 failure, which is pointless.
5451
545224. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5453
545425. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5455
545626. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5457 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5458 Sender: header lines.
5459
546027. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5461 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5462 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5463
546428. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5465 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5466 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5467 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5468 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5469 happens.
5470
547129. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5472 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5473 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5474 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5475 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5476
547730. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5478 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5479 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5480 1024.
5481
548231. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5483 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5484
548532. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5486 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5487
548833. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5489
549032. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5491
549233. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5493
549434. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5495 syntax error.
5496
549735. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5498
549936. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5500
550137. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5502 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5503 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5504 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5505
550638. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5507 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5508
5509
5510Exim version 4.42
5511-----------------
5512
5513 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5514 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5515 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5516 it was not quoted.
5517 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5518 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5519 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5520 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5521 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5522 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5523
5524 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5525 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5526 verification failure".
5527
5528 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5529 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5530 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5531 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5532
5533 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5534 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5535 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5536 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5537 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5538 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5539 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5540 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5541 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5542 treated as a timeout.
5543
5544 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5545 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5546 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5547 not set for Exim filters).
5548
5549 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5550 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5551 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5552
5553 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5554
5555 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5556 try to make them clearer.
5557
5558 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5559 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5560
5561 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5562
5563 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5564
556510. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5566 only the Cygwin environment.
5567
556811. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5569 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5570 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5571 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5572 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5573
557412. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5575 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5576 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5577 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5578 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5579 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5580 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5581
558213. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5583 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5584
558514. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5586
5587 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5588 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5589 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5590
5591 To: susanne@some.where
5592
5593 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5594 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5595 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5596 of addresses in From: header lines).
5597
5598 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5599 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5600 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5601
5602 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5603 treated as non-personal.
5604
5605 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5606 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5607
560815. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5609
561016. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5611
561217. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5613 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5614 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5615
561618. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5617 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5618
561919. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5620 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5621 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5622 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5623 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5624 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5625
562620. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5627 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5628 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5629 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5630 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5631 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5632 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5633 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5634
5635 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5636
563721. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5638 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5639
564022. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5641 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5642 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5643
564423. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5645 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5646
564724. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5648 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5649 rather than long int.
5650
565125. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5652
565326. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5654
5655
5656Exim version 4.41
5657-----------------
5658
5659 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5660 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5661 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5662 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5663 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5664 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5665
5666
5667Exim version 4.40
5668-----------------
5669
5670 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5671 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5672
5673 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5674 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5675 socklen_t is defined.
5676
5677 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5678 always exist.
5679
5680 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5681 configured.
5682
5683 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5684 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5685 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5686 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5687 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5688
5689 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5690 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5691 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5692 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5693
5694 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5695 of flapping under certain conditions.
5696
5697 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5698 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5699 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5700
5701 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5702
570310. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5704
570511. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5706 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5707 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5708 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5709
571012. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5711 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5712 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5713 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5714 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5715 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5716 preserved with the message after it was received.
5717
571813. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5719 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5720 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5721 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5722 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5723 test suite worked just fine.
5724
572514. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5726 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5727 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5728
572915. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5730 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5731 string.
5732
573316. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5734 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5735 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5736 does not fully solve it.
5737
573817. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5739 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5740 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5741 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5742 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5743
574418. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5745 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5746 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5747
574819. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5749 string, for example:
5750
5751 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5752
5753 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5754 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5755 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5756 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5757 the routers could not see them.
5758
575920. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5760 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5761
576221. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5763 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5764 output).
5765
576622. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5767 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5768 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5769 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5770 that needed quoting.
5771
577223. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5773 was not being matched caselessly.
5774
577524. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5776 backslashes.
5777
577825. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5779 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5780 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5781 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5782 when use_sender is false.
5783
578426. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5785
578627. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5787
578828. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5789
579029. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5791 the configuration file.
5792
579330. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5794 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5795
579631. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5797
579832. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5799 bytes in the message body.
5800
580133. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5802 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5803 delivery.
5804
580534. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5806
580735. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5808
580936. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5810 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5811 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5812 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5813 another IP address.
5814
5815
5816Exim version 4.34
5817-----------------
5818
5819 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5820 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5821
5822 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5823 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5824 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5825 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5826 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5827
5828 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5829 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5830
5831 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5832 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5833 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5834
5835 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5836 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5837 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5838
5839 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5840 for routers.
5841
5842 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
5843 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
5844 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
5845 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
5846 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
5847 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
5848 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
5849
5850
5851Exim version 4.33
5852-----------------
5853
5854 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
5855 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
5856 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
5857 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
5858 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
5859 default (and expected) setting.
5860
5861 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
5862 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
5863 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
5864 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
5865
5866 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
5867 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
5868
5869 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
5870 in domain lists.
5871
5872 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
5873 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
5874 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
5875 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
5876 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
5877 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
5878
5879 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
5880 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
5881 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
5882
5883 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
5884 part (NOT match_host).
5885
5886 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
5887
5888 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
5889 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
5890 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
5891 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
5892 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
5893 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
5894 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
5895 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
5896 the same named file.
5897
589810. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
5899 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
5900 when Exim is built.
5901
590211. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
5903 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
5904 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
5905 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
5906 a host name.
5907
590812. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
5909 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
5910 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
5911
591213. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
5913
591414. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
5915
591615. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
5917
591816. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
5919 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
5920
592117. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
5922 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
5923 before starting the TLS session.
5924
592518. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
5926
592719. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
5928 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
5929
593020. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
5931 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
5932 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
5933 colon in the middle).
5934
5935
5936Exim version 4.32
5937-----------------
5938
5939 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
5940 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
5941 multiple configurations are in use.
5942
5943 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
5944 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
5945 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
5946 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
5947 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
5948 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
5949
5950 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
5951 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
5952
5953 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
5954 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
5955 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
5956
5957 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
5958 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
5959 occurs.
5960
5961 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
5962 that used bh_ and bheader_.
5963
5964 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
5965
5966 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
5967 allowing one more file than it should have been.
5968
5969 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
5970
5971 -prval:sval
5972
5973 is equivalent to
5974
5975 -oMr rval -oMs sval
5976
5977 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
5978 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
5979 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
5980 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
5981 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
5982
598310. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
5984 Exim's behaviour:
5985
5986 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
5987 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
5988 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
5989 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
5990 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
5991 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
5992
5993 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
5994 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
5995 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
5996 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
5997 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
5998 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
5999 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6000 string.
6001
6002 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6003 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6004 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6005 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6006 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6007
600811. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6009
601012. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6011 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6012 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6013
601413. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6015
601614. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6017 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6018 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6019 information.
6020
602115. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6022 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6023
602416. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6025 Three changes have been made:
6026
6027 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6028 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6029 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6030 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6031 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6032
6033 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6034 been restored.
6035
6036 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6037 the modified behaviour.
6038
6039
6040Exim version 4.31
6041-----------------
6042
6043 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6044 Larry Rosenman.
6045
6046 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6047 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6048
6049 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6050 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6051 try to track down a specific problem.
6052
6053 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6054 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6055 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6056
6057 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6058 warning.
6059
6060 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6061 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6062 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6063 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6064 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6065 some earlier ones do not.
6066
6067 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6068
6069 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6070 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6071 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6072 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6073 address literals are enabled, of course).
6074
6075 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6076
607710. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6078 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6079 by a command such as
6080
6081 exim -f "" ...
6082
6083 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6084
608511. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6086
608712. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6088 remained set. It is now erased.
6089
609013. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6091 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6092
609314. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6094 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6095 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6096 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6097 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6098 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6099 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6100 appropriate error code.
6101
610215. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6103 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6104 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6105 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6106 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6107 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6108
610916. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6110 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6111 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6112
611317. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6114 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6115 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6116 terminate the header.
6117
611818. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6119 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6120 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6121
612219. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6123 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6124 (4.30/29). In particular:
6125
6126 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6127 imposed.
6128
6129 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6130 to write a maildirsize file.
6131
6132 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6133 the transport, the new value overrides.
6134
6135 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6136 count.
6137
613820. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6139 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6140 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6141 space or a tab.
6142
614321. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6144 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6145 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6146 the fallback hosts.
6147
614822. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6149 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6150 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6151
615223. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6153 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6154 using a union.
6155
615624. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6157 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6158 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6159
616025. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6161
616226. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6163
616427. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6165
616628. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6167 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6168 become corrupted.
6169
617029. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6171 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6172 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6173 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6174 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6175 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6176 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6177 too great.
6178
617930. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6180 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6181 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6182 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6183 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6184 incorrectly.
6185
618631. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6187 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6188 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6189 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6190 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6191 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6192 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6193 cached value only when the same options are set.
6194
619532. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6196
619733. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6198 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6199 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6200 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6201 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6202
620334: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6204 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6205 it is clearly obsolete.
6206
620735. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6208 transport.
6209
621036. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6211 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6212 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6213 times.
6214
621537. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6216 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6217 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6218 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6219 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6220
622138. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6222 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6223 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6224 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6225
622639. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6227
6228 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6229
6230 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6231 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6232 2^31.
6233
623440. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6235 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6236 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6237 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6238 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6239 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6240 $localpart_data.
6241
624241. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6243 with the -f command-line option.
6244
624542. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6246 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6247 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6248 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6249 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6250 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6251
625243. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6253 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6254 line.
6255
625644. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6257 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6258 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6259 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6260 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6261 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6262 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6263 buffer is too small.
6264
626545. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6266 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6267
626846. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6269 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6270 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6271 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6272 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6273 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6274 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6275 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6276 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6277
627847. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6279 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6280 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6281
628248. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6283 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6284 ACL").
6285
628649. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6287 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6288 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6289 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6290 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6291
629250. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6293 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6294 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6295 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6296 is set.
6297
629851. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6299
630052. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6301
630253. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6303 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6304
630554. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6306 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6307 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6308
630955. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6310 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6311 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6312 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6313 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6314
631556. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6316 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6317 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6318 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6319 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6320 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6321 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6322
632357. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6324 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6325 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6326 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6327 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6328 the test of how many are available.
6329
633058. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6331 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6332 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6333 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6334 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6335 new message is started.
6336
633759. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6338 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6339
634060. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6341 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6342
634361. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6344 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6345 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6346 is no long logged.
6347
634862. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6349 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6350 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6351 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6352 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6353 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6354 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6355
635663. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6357 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6358 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6359 interpreted as octal.
6360
636164. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6362 setting.
6363
636465. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6365 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6366 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6367 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6368 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6369 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6370
637166. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6372 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6373 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6374 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6375
6376 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6377 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6378 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6379 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6380
6381 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6382 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6383 is a bug fix.
6384
6385 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6386 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6387
638867. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6389
639068. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6391 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6392 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6393 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6394
639569. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6396 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6397 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6398 supplied", which is not helpful.
6399
640070. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6401 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6402 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6403
640471. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6405 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6406 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6407 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6408 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6409 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6410 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6411 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6412
641372. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6414 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6415 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6416 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6417 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6418
641973. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6420 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6421 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6422 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6423 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6424 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6425
642674. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6427 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6428 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6429
643075. Added write_rejectlog option.
6431
643276. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6433 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6434 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6435 variables.
6436
643777. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6438
643978. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6440 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6441 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6442 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6443 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6444 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6445 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6446 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6447
644879. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6449 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6450 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6451 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6452 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6453
645480. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6455 Haardt.
6456
645781. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6458 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6459 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6460 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6461 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6462 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6463 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6464 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6465 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6466
6467
6468Exim version 4.30
6469-----------------
6470
6471 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6472 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6473 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6474
6475 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6476 fixed.
6477
6478 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6479 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6480 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6481
6482 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6483 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6484 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6485 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6486 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6487 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6488
6489 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6490 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6491 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6492 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6493 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6494 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6495 the Exim test suite.
6496
6497 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6498 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6499 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6500 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6501
6502 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6503 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6504 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6505 specify it in this variable.
6506
6507 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6508 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6509 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6510 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6511
6512 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6513 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6514 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6515 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6516
6517 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6518 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6519 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6520 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6521 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6522
6523 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6524
652510. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6526 they are logged.
6527
652811. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6529 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6530 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6531 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6532 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6533
653412. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6535 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6536
653713. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6538 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6539 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6540 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6541 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6542
654314. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6544 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6545
654615. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6547 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6548 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6549
655016. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6551 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6552
655317. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6554 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6555
655618. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6557 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6558 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6559
656019. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6561 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6562
656320. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6564 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6565 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6566 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6567
656821. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6569
657022. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6571 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6572 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6573 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6574
657523. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6576
657724. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6578 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6579
658025. Added .include_if_exists.
6581
658226. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6583 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6584 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6585 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6586 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6587 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6588
658927. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6590
659128. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6592 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6593 this.
6594
659529. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6596
659730. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6598 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6599
6600 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6601 550 Sender verify failed
6602
6603 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6604 the final line of the response.
6605
660631. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6607 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6608 all other user lookups.
6609
661032. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6611 delivery time.
6612
661333. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6614 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6615 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6616 result into an int without checking.
6617
661834. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6619 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6620 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6621
662235. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6623 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6624 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6625 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6626
662736. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6628 correctly.
6629
663037. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6631 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6632
663338. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6634 to the empty sender.
6635
663639. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6637 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6638 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6639 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6640 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6641 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6642 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6643 panic log.
6644
664540. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6646 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6647 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6648 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6649 used.
6650
665141. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6652 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6653
665442. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6655 timestamps.
6656
665743. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6658 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6659
666044. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6661
666245. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6663 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6664 logs.
6665
666646. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6667 as soon as it is encountered.
6668
666947. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6670
667148. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6672 rewritten to "<>".
6673
667449. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6675 recognizes a tab character.
6676
667750. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6678 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6679 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6680 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6681
668251. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6683
668452. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6685 crash.
6686
668753. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6688
668954. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6690
669155. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6692 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6693 2822.
6694
669556. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6696 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6697 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6698 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6699 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6700
670157. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6702 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6703
670458. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6705 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6706 list (.included file names were always shown).
6707
670859. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6709 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6710 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6711 root at that time.
6712
671360. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6714 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6715
671661. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6717
671862. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6719
672063. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6721
672264. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6723 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6724 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6725 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6726 failures to open the logs.
6727
672865. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6729 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6730 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6731 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6732 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6733 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6734 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6735
6736
6737Exim version 4.24
6738-----------------
6739
6740 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6741 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6742 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6743 change 4.23/1.
6744
6745 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6746 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6747 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6748
6749 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6750 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6751 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6752
6753 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6754 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6755 causing some misleading effects.
6756
6757 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6758 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6759 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6760
6761 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6762 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6763 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6764 queue-runner function directly.
6765
6766
6767Exim version 4.23
6768-----------------
6769
6770 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6771 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6772
6773 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6774 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6775 was always written to the default place.
6776
6777 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6778 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6779 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6780
6781 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6782
6783 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6784
6785 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6786 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6787 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6788
6789 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6790 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6791 must start.
6792
6793 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6794 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6795 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6796
6797 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6798 command line option is disabled.
6799
6800 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6801 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6802
6803 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6804
6805 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6806
6807 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6808 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6809
681010. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6811
681211. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6813 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6814 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6815 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6816 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6817 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6818
681912. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6820 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6821 timeout.
6822
682313. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6824 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6825
682614. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6827 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6828
682915. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6830 received was valid base64.
6831
683216. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6833 name of the variable that was being set.
6834
683517. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6836
683718. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6838 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6839 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6840 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6841 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6842 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
6843
684419. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
6845
684620. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
6847 nor realm was specified.
6848
684921. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
6850 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
6851 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
6852 errors are given to SMTP connections.
6853
685422. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
6855 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
6856 failing to send a response to QUIT.
6857
685823. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
6859 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
6860 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
6861
686224. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
6863 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
6864 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
6865 some systems use these upper case variants.
6866
686725. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
6868 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
6869 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
6870 socket" when it tried to send the third.
6871
687226. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
6873
687427. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
6875 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
6876
687728. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
6878 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
6879 expansion variable.
6880
688129. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
6882
688330. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
6884 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
6885 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
6886 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
6887
688831. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
6889 using it.
6890
689132. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
6892 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
6893 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
6894
689533. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
6896 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
6897
689834. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
6899 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
6900 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
6901 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
6902
690335. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
6904 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
6905 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
6906
690736. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
6908
690937. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
6910 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
6911 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
6912 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
6913 aborted.
6914
691538. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
6916 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
6917 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
6918
691939. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
6920
692140. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
6922 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
6923
692441. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
6925 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
6926
692742. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
6928 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
6929 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
6930 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
6931 when emails are that large.
6932
6933
6934
6935Exim version 4.22
6936-----------------
6937
6938 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
6939 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
6940
6941 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
6942 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
6943 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
6944
6945 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
6946 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
6947 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
6948
6949 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
6950 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
6951 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
6952 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
6953 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
6954
6955 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
6956 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
6957 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
6958 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
6959 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
6960 ever.
6961
6962 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
6963 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
6964 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
6965 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
6966 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
6967 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
6968 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
6969 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
6970 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
6971 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
6972 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
6973 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
6974 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
6975 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
6976
6977 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
6978 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
6979 parameterised it.
6980
6981 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
6982 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
6983 error should be diagnosed.
6984
6985 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
6986 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
6987 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
6988 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
6989 appeared instead of "NULL".
6990
699110. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
6992 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
6993 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
6994 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
6995 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
6996 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
6997 proceeds).
6998
6999 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7000 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7001 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7002
7003
7004Exim version 4.21
7005-----------------
7006
7007 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7008 or receiver verification errors.
7009
7010 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7011 name.
7012
7013 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7014 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7015 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7016 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7017
7018 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7019 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7020 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7021 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7022 shouldn't happen again.
7023
7024 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7025 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7026 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7027
7028 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7029 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7030
7031 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7032
7033 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7034 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7035
7036 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7037 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7038 RFC.
7039
704010. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7041 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7042 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7043
704411. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7045 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7046 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7047 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7048
704912. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7050 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7051 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7052 to define what should happen).
7053
705413. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7055 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7056 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7057
705814. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7059
706015. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7061
706216. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7063 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7064
4c04137d 706517. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7066 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7067 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7068 structure in all cases.
7069
7070 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7071 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7072 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7073 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7074
707518. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7076 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7077 domain name.
7078
707919. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7080 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7081
708220. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7083 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7084
708521. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7086 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7087 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7088
708922. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7090 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7091 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7092
709323. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7094 the book and for uniformity.
7095
709624. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7097
709825. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7099 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7100 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7101 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7102 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7103 non-existent command as the problem.
7104
710526. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7106 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7107 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7108
710927. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7110
711128. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7112 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7113 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7114
711529. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7116 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7117 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7118 timestamps using strftime().
7119
712030. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7121 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7122
712332. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7124 transport-time rewrites.
7125
712633. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7127 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7128 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7129 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7130
713134. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7132 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7133
713435. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7135 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7136 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7137 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7138 comma and a space.
7139
714036. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7141 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7142 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7143 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7144 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7145 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7146 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7147
714837. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7149 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7150 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7151 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7152 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7153
715438. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7155 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7156 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7157 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7158 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7159 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7160 remaining text gets split now.
7161
716239. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7163 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7164 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7165 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7166
716740. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7168 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7169 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7170 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7171 $return_path.
7172
717341. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7174 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7175 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7176 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7177 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7178 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7179 passed through if needed.
7180
718142. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7182 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7183 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7184 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7185 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7186 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7187
718843. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7189 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7190 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7191 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7192 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7193
719444. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7195 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7196 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7197 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7198 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7199
720045. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7201 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7202 noticed.
7203
720446. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7205 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7206 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7207 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7208 mayhem of various kinds.
7209
721047. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7211 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7212 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7213 the right test for positive values.
7214
721548. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7216 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7217 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7218 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7219 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7220 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7221 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7222 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7223 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7224 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7225 envelope.
7226
722749. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7228 module.
7229
723050. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7231 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7232 forbidding it.
7233
723451. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7235 the existing equality matching.
7236
723752. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7238 dealing with inode numbers.
7239
724053. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7241 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7242 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7243
724454. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7245 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7246 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7247 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7248 local_scan().
7249
725055. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7251 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7252 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7253 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7254 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7255 relay addresses has also been removed.
7256
725756. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7258
725957. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7260 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7261 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7262
726358. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7264 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7265 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7266 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7267 processing applies to CR:
7268
7269 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7270 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7271
7272 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7273 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7274 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7275 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7276
727759. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7278 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7279 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7280
728160. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7282 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7283 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7284 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7285 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7286 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7287 arisen.
7288
728961. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7290 program routers.
7291
729262. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7293 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7294 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7295 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7296 adds:
7297
7298 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7299
7300 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7301
7302 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7303
730463. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7305 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7306 not considered personal.
7307
730864. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7309
731065. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7311
731266. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7313
731467. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7315 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7316 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7317 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7318 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7319 header lines, and spool format errors.
7320
732168. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7322 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7323 for more flexibility.
7324
732569. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7326 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7327 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7328
732970. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7330 Sabourenkov.
7331
733271. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7333 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7334 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7335 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7336 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7337 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7338 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7339 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7340 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7341
734272. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7343 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7344 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7345 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7346 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7347 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7348 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7349
735073. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7351 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7352 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7353
735474. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7355 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7356 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7357 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7358 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7359 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7360 instead of killing the process with assert().
7361
736275. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7363 than Unicode encoding.
7364
736576. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7366 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7367 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7368 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7369
737077. Added process_log_path.
7371
737278. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7373 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7374
737579. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7376 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7377
737880. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7379 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7380 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7381
738281. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7383 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7384 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7385 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7386 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7387 were applied:
7388
7389 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7390 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7391 as invalid.
7392
739382. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7394 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7395 they will be used during message reception.
7396
