JH
6Exim version 4.94
7-----------------
d85cdeb5
JH
8
9JH/01 Avoid costly startup code when not strictly needed. This reduces time
10 for some exim process initialisations. It does mean that the logging
11 of TLS configuration problems is only done for the daemon startup.
12
81344b40
JH
13JH/02 Early-pipelining support code is now included unless disabled in Makefile.
14
6ce1ece9
JH
15JH/03 DKIM verification defaults no long accept sha1 hashes, to conform to
16 RFC 8301. They can still be enabled, using the dkim_verify_hashes main
17 option.
18
179ed8c3
JH
19JH/04 Support CHUNKING from an smtp transport using a transport_filter, when
20 DKIM signing is being done. Previously a transport_filter would always
21 disable CHUNKING, falling back to traditional DATA.
22
f0fe22cb
JH
23JH/05 Regard command-line receipients as tainted.
24
01446a56
JH
25JH/06 Bug 340: Remove the daemon pid file on exit, whe due to SIGTERM.
26
dcbfbada
FG
27JH/07 Bug 2489: Fix crash in the "pam" expansion condition. It seems that the
28 PAM library frees one of the arguments given to it, despite the
29 documentation. Therefore a plain malloc must be used.
30
c58803fd
JH
31JH/08 Bug 2491: Use tainted buffers for the transport smtp context. Previously
32 on-stack buffers were used, resulting in a taint trap when DSN information
33 copied from a received message was written into the buffer.
34
e9dfcfb7
JH
35JH/09 Bug 2493: Harden ARC verify against Outlook, whick has been seen to mix
36 the ordering of its ARC headers. This caused a crash.
37
5fae29d5
JH
38JH/10 Bug 2492: Use tainted memory for retry record when needed. Previously when
39 a new record was being constructed with information from the peer, a trap
40 was taken.
41
39fdec3c
JH
42JH/11 Bug 2494: Unset the default for dmarc_tld_file. Previously a naiive
43 installation would get error messages from DMARC verify, when it hit the
44 nonexistent file indicated by the default. Distros wanting DMARC enabled
45 should both provide the file and set the option.
46 Also enforce no DMARC verification for command-line sourced messages.
47
de41aff0
JH
48JH/12 Fix an uninitialised flag in early-pipelining. Previously connections
49 could, depending on the platform, hang at the STARTTLS response.
50
1415d1a6
JH
51JH/13 Bug 2498: Reset a counter used for ARC verify before handling another
52 message on a connection. Previously if one message had ARC headers and
53 the following one did not, a crash could result when adding an
54 Authentication-Results: header.
55
d85cdeb5 56
40ed89b3
JH
57Exim version 4.93
58-----------------
59
8a40db1c
JH
60JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
61 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 62
fc243e94 63JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
64 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
65 its own TCP segment.
66
897024f1
JH
67JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
68 each verb.
69
f1be21cf
JH
70JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
71
fe12ec88
JH
72JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
73
05bf16f6
JH
74JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
75 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
76
fc243e94
JH
77JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
78 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
79 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
80 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
81 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
82 suitably configured).
83
c05bdbd6 84JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
85 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
86
14bc9cf0
JH
87JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
88 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
89 crash could result.
90
254f38d1
JH
91JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
92 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
93
c09dbcfb
JH
94JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
95 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
96 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
97 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
98 to this system.
254f38d1 99
f9fc9427
JH
100JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
101 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
102 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
103
e6024a5e
JH
104JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
105 output.
106
1fbf41cd
JH
107JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
108 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
109
3c55eef2 110JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 111 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
112 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
113 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
114 input).
115
cb80814d
HSHR
116HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
117 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
118 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
119 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
120 (It was "hdr.$pid".)
121
7d8d08c4 122HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
82a996b1
HSHR
123 shared (NFS) environment.
124
7d8d08c4 125HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
82a996b1
HSHR
126 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
127 affected.
128
bd83c6f9
JH
129JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
130 on some platforms for bit 31.
131
d9acfc1c
JH
132JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
133 to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
134 previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
135 like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
136 and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
137 the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
138 This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
139 and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
140
b10c87b3
JH
141JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
142
7a501c87
JH
143JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
144 verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
145
e5903596
JH
146JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue. Previously, even with the option
147 queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
148 facility.
149
12d95aa6
JH
150JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
151 directory-of-certs mode. Previously they were advertised despite the
152 documentation.
153
96eb7d2a
JH
154JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
155 A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
156 for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
157 not do so.
158
59c0959a 159JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
01603eec
JH
160 default. If built with the facility, DANE will be used. The facility
161 SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
162
163JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
de517fd3
JH
164 is replaced with DISABLE_TLS. Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
165 must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
166 the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
167 choice. Non-TLS builds are still supported.
59c0959a 168
48519cef
JH
169JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
170 reject under TFO.
96eb7d2a 171
efad2f41 172JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
4e48d56c 173 default. If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
efad2f41
JH
174 be requested on all coneections.
175
4e48d56c
JH
176JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
177 controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.
178
6ee11061 179PP/01 Unbreak heimdal_gssapi, broken in 4.92.
0a5441fc 180
87abcb24
JH
181JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
182 success-DSN messages. Previously the From: header was always the default
183 one for these; the option was ignored.
6ee11061 184
0a5441fc
JH
185JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
186 Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
187 single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
188 long time. Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
189
436bda2a
JH
190JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field. Previously it was the post-routing
191 delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
192 forwarding. Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
193 standards.
194
df98a6ff
JH
195JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
196 requested. Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
197 error ignored was made.
198
21aa0597
JH
199JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)
200
f3ebb786
JH
201JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
202 channel, and values derived from them. Refuse to expand any tainted
203 values, to catch one form of exploit.
204
9fa4d5b4
RJ
205JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option. Previously the expansion result
206 was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test. Found and
207 fixed by Ruben Jenster.
208
bd231acd
JH
209JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown. When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
210 an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
211 causing a segfault.
212
7b564712
JH
213JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
214 them in our smtp response.
215
9c6881f8 216JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
dbbf21a7
JH
217 any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything). Previously it
218 was only for check_local user. The change removes one item of manual
219 configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
220 handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
221
9c6881f8
JH
222JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
223 link count into consideration.
224
7d8d08c4
JH
225HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
226 caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
227
228JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
229 accordance with RFC 2308. Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
230 receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
231 surprise.
232
c3aefacc
HSHR
233HS/05 Handle trailing backslash gracefully. (CVE-2019-15846)
234
1a2e76e1
JH
235JH/39 Promote DMARC support to mainline.
236
d6c829b9
JH
237JH/40 Bug 2452: Add a References: header to DSNs.
238
49132a3b
JH
239JH/41 With GnuTLS 3.6.0 (and later) do not attempt to manage Diffie-Hellman
240 parameters. The relevant library call is documented as "Deprecated: This
241 function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. Since
242 3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919."
243
ab0e957b 244HS/06 Change the default of dnssec_request_domains to "*"
40ed89b3 245
c5040dfd
JH
246JH/42 Bug 2545: Fix CHUNKING for all RCPT commands rejected. Previously we
247 carried on and emitted a BDAT command, even when PIPELINING was not
248 active.
249
13e70f55
JH
250JH/43 Bug 2465: Fix taint-handling in dsearch lookup. Previously a nontainted
251 buffer was used for the filename, resulting in a trap when tainted
252 arguments (eg. $domain) were used.
253
2043336d
JH
254JH/44 With OpenSSL 1.1.1 (onwards) disable renegotiation for TLS1.2 and below;
255 recommended to avoid a possible server-load attack. The feature can be
256 re-enabled via the openssl_options main cofiguration option.
257
b2d54f83
JH
258JH/45 local_scan API: documented the current smtp_printf() call. This changed
259 for version 4.90 - adding a "more data" boolean to the arguments.
b3317cfa
JH
260 Bumped the ABI version number also, this having been missed previously;
261 release versions 4.90 to 4.92.3 inclusive were effectively broken in
262 respect of usage of smtp_printf() by either local_scan code or libraries
263 accessed via the ${dlfunc } expansion item. Both will need coding
264 adjustment for any calls to smtp_printf() to match the new function
265 signature; a FALSE value for the new argument is always safe.
b2d54f83 266
1bf08084
JH
267JH/46 FreeBSD: fix use of the sendfile() syscall. The shim was not updating
268 the file-offset (which the Linux syscall does, and exim expects); this
269 resulted in an indefinite loop.
270
7af11cd0
JH
271JH/47 ARC: fix crash in signing, triggered when a configuration error failed
272 to do ARC verification. The Authentication-Results: header line added
273 by the configuration then had no ARC item.
274
c5040dfd 275
d99f54e4
JH
276Exim version 4.92
277-----------------
278
9723f966
JH
279JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
280 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
281
282JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
283 non-signal-safe functions being used.
284
285JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
286 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
287 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 288
ea7b1f16
JH
289JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
290 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
291 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
292
cfbb0d24
JH
293JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
294 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
295 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
296 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
297 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
298 messed with.
299
85defcf0
PP
300PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
301 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
302
1bd642c2
JH
303JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
304 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
305 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
306 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
307 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
308 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
309 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
310
2ddb4094
JH
311JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
312 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
313
1613fd68
JH
314JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
315 legitimate.
316
e6057245
JH
317JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
318 Previously this would segfault.
319
7b9822bf
JH
320JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
321 segfault.
322
d8d9f930
JH
323JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
324 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
325 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
326 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
327 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
328 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
329
61e3f250
JH
330JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
331
7a8b9519
JH
332JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
333 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
334 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
335 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
336
49e56fb3
JH
337JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
338
74f1a423
JH
339JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
340 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
341 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
342 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
343
5054c4fd 344JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
345
346JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
5054c4fd 347
946515bf
JH
348JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
349 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
350 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
351
8c34c611
JH
352JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
353 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
354 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
355
1bca4f5f
PP
356PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
357
8a6b4e02
JH
358JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
359 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
360 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
361 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
362
0a682b6c
PP
363PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
364 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
365 promised '?' replacement.
366
c2c451ac
PP
367PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
368
8768d548
JH
369JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
370 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
371 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
372 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
373 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
374
5455f548
JH
375JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
376 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
377 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
378
25beaee4
MK
379JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
380 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
381 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
382
7ea1237c 383JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 384 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
385 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
386
ebda598a
JH
387JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
388 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
389 hope that is portable enough.
390

496JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
497 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
498 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
499 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
500 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
501 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
502 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
503 Main pool for expansions.
504 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
505 active in the testsuite.

616 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
617 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
618 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
619 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the

999 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
1000 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
1001 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
1002 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
1003 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
1004 if one fails this test.

1567TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
1568
1569 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
1570 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
1571 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
1572 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
1573 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
1574 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

1820TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1821
1822 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1823 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1824 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1825 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1826 the retry rules.
1827
1828 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1829 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1830 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1831
1832 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1833 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1834 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1835 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1836
1ddeb334
TF
1837 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1838 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1839 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1840 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1841 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1842 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1843 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1844
1845 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1846 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

2168TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
2169 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
2170 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
2171
2172 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
2173 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
2174 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
2175 not safe for signals.
2176
2177 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2178 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2179 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2180 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2181 exiwhat.
2182
c99ce5c9
TF
2183TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2184
2185 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2186 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2187 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2188 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 2189 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
2190
2191 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2192 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2193 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2194 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2195 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2196 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2197
2198 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2199 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2200 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2201 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2202
2203 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2204 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2205 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2206 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2207
2208 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2209 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2210 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2211 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2212 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2213 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2214 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2215 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2216 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2217
2218 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2219 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2220 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2221 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2222
2223 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2224 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2225 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2226 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2227 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2228 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2229 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2230 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2231 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2232 details in the main documentation.

2783 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2801Exim version 4.68
2802-----------------
2803
2804PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2805
6a3bceb1
PH
2806PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2807 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2808 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2809 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2810 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2811 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2812 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2813 for iplsearch lookups.
2814
2815 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2816 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2817 previously such lookups could never work.
2818
4c04137d 2819 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2820 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2821 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
2822

2823TK/01 Change PRVS address formatting scheme to reflect latests BATV draft
2824 version.
2825
0806a9c5
MH
2826MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2827 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2828 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2829 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2830 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2831 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

2835
0f2cbd1b
MH
2836MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2837 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2838 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2839 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2840 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2841 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2918 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2919 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2920 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.

3024PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
3025 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

3027 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
3028 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
3029 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
3030 pipelining has not been advertised.

3045 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
3046 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

3079 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
3080 calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
3081 uses the Exim user.

3086 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the

PH
3104 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
3105 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
3106 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
3107 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
3108 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
3109 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
3110 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 3111 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

3122PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
3123 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
3124
3125 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
3126 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
3127
3128 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
3129 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
3130 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
3131
3132 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
3133 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
3134 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
3135 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
3136 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

3150PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
3151 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
3152 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
3153 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
3154 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
3155 rather than extend the field.

PH
3180PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3181 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3182 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3183 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3184 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3185 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3186 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3187 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3188 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3189 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3190 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3224PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

3226 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3227 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3228 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3229 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3230 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
3231 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 3234 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
3235 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3236 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3237 function.
3238 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3239 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3240 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3241 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3242 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3243 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3244 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3245 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3246 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3252 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3253 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3254 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3255 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3256 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3257 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3258 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

3263
322050c2
PH
3264PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3265 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3266 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3267 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3268 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3269 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3270 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3271 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3272 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3273 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3274 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3275 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3276 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

3278PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3279 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3280 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3281 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3282 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3283 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3284 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

3286PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3287 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3288 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3289 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3290 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3291 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3292 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3293 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3294 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3295 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

602e59e5
PH
3297PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3298 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3299 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3300 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3301 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3303PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3304 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3305 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3306 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3307 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3308 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3309 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3312 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data

3314 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3315 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3316 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3317 been verified.

PH
3348
3349PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3350 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3351 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3352 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3353 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3354 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3355 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3356 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3357 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3358
3359 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3360 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3361 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3362 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3363 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3364 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3365 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3366 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3367 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3368
3369 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3370 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3371 hammering the server.

3387 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

48c7f9e2
PH
3392PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3393 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3394 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3395 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3396 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2

3397 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3398 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now

3669PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".

3671 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3672 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3673 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3674 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3675 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3676 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3677 451 error is used.

3716 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3717 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3718 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3719 addresses as local.

3762 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

3797 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3798 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3799 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3800 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3801 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3802 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3803 values from the SRV records were lost.

3805PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

PH
3813PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3814 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3815 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3816 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3817 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3818 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3819 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3820 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3821 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3918PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3919 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3920 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3921 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3922 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3923 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3924 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3925 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3926 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3927 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3938 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3939 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3940 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the

3963 used in LMTP mode:
3964
3965 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3966 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3967 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3968 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3969
3970 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3971 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3972 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3973
3974PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3975 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3976 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3977 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

4048PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
4049 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
4050 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
4051 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
4052 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
4053 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
4054 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
4055 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
4056 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
4057 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
4058 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

4115 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
4116 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
4117 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
4118 identical. For example:
4119
4120 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
4121
4122 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data

4216 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4217 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4218 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4219 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4220 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4221 the text comparison.

4230-----------------
4231
4232PH/01 The ${base62: operator adjusted itself to base 36 when BASE_62 was
4233 set to 36 (for Darwin and Cygwin), but the ${base62d: operator did not.
4234 It now does.

PH
4236PH/02 Two minor problems detected in Cygwin: the os.{c,h} files had lost */ on
4237 the CVS lines, and there was a missing #if HAVE_IPV6 in host.c.
4238
4239PH/03 Typo: missing ".o" in src/pcre/Makefile.

4b233853
PH
4241PH/04 Tighten up "personal" tests: Instead of testing for any "List-"
4242 header line, restrict the check to what is listed in RFCs 2369 and 2929.
4243 Also, for "Auto-Submitted", treat anything other than "no" as
4244 non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated
4245 anything starting "auto-" as non-personal.)

PH
4247TF/01 The control=submission/name=... option had a problem with syntax
4248 errors if the name included a slash character. The /name= option
4249 now slurps the rest of the string, so it can include any characters
4250 but it must come last in the list of options (after /sender_retain
4251 or /domain=).

4258Exim version 4.53

4262 NewStuff for rationale and an example.

5b68f6e4
PH
4268PH/03 When creating an mbox file for a virus/spam scan, use fseek() instead of
4269 fread() to skip over the body file's header line, because in Cygwin the
4270 header line is locked and is inaccessible.
4271
1ab52c69
PH
4272PH/04 Added $message_exim_id, ultimately to replace $message_id (they will both
4273 co-exist for some time) to make it clear that it is the Exim ID that is
4274 referenced, not the Message-ID: header line.
4275
b07e6aa3
PH
4276PH/05 Replaced all Tom's calls to snprintf() with calls to the internal
4277 string_format() function, because snprintf() does not exist on all
4278 operating systems.
4279
254e032f
PH
4280PH/06 The use of forbid_filter_existstest now also locks out the use of the

4296 transport and to the smtp transport in LMTP mode.

PH
4298TK/02 Remove one case of BASE64 error detection FTTB (undocumented anyway).
4299
af46795e
PH
4300PH/12 There was a missing call to search_tidyup() before the fork() in rda.c to
4301 run a filter in a subprocess. This could lead to confusion in subsequent
4302 lookups in the parent process. There should also be a search_tidyup() at
4303 the end of the subprocess.
4304
d7b47fd0
PH
4305PH/13 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true
4306 only if the host matched helo_try_verify_hosts, which caused the
4307 verification to occur when the EHLO/HELO command was issued. The ACL just
4308 tested the remembered result. Now, if a previous verification attempt has
4309 not happened, "verify = helo" does it there and then.

PH
4328PH/20 If a delivery was routed to a non-standard port by means of an SRV
4329 record, the port was not correctly logged when the outgoing_port log
4330 selector was set (it logged the transort's default port).

4333 fallback_hosts, and "hosts" in the smtp transport.

PH
4338PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius
4339 authentication with radiusclient 0.4.9:
4340
4341 - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
4342 - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.
4343
4344 The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17
4345 were not taken care of correctly. The code is still untested by me (my
4346 Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of radiusclient), but it was
4347 contributed by a Radius user.

PH
4362PH/26 Exim was recognizing IPv6 addresses of the form [IPv6:....] in EHLO
4363 commands, but it was not correctly comparing the address with the actual
4364 client host address. Thus, it would show the EHLO address in Received:
4365 header lines when this was not necessary.

PH
4369PH/28 Exim tries to create and chdir to its spool directory when it starts;
4370 it should be ignoring failures (because with -C, for example, it has lost

4390PH/34 There are settings for CHOWN_COMMAND and MV_COMMAND that can be used in
4391 Local/Makefile (with some defaults set). These are used in built scripts
4392 such as exicyclog, but they have never been used in the exim_install
4393 script (though there are many overriding facilities there). I have

4399PH/36 When a locally submitted message by a trusted user did not contain a
4400 From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP
4401 MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender
4402 name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From:
4403 header. Furthermore, $originator_name was used for submission mode
4404 messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way,
4405 which is clearly wrong.

PH
4518PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
4519 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
4520 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
4c04137d 4521 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were
415c8f3b
PH
4522 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,

4525PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
4526 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
4527 write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
4528 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
4529 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4530 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4606 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
4607 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
4608 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim

4610 falls back to the previous guessing code."

4666PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
4667 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a

4669 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
4670 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was

4738
4739PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4740 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4741 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4742 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4743 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4744 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4745 file.
4746
4747PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4748 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4749 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4750 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4751 these two options.

4753PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4754 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4755 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4756 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4757 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4758 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4759 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4760 address.

4765PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4766 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4767 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4768 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4769 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4770 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)

4772PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

4825 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4826 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4827 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4828 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check

4835 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1

4848PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4849 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4850 understands it better than I do:
4851
4852 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4853 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4854
4855 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4856 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4857 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4858 => three warnings about OTP not working
4859 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4860
4861 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4862 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4863 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4864 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4865 for each call.)
4866 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4867 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4868
4869 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4870 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still

PH
4935PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4936 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4937 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4938 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4939 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4940 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4941 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4942
4943 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4944 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4945 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4946 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4947 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4948
4949 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4950 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4951 routed further.

4996 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now

4998 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called

5010A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
5011----------------------------------------
5012
5013Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
5014changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
5015needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
5016in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
5017that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
5018release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
5019from 4.43.
5020
5021I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
50224.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
5023those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
5024historical information.

PH
5028-----------------
5029
5fe762f6
PH
5030 1. Minor wording change to the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5031
139059f6 5032 2. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug: if quota_filecount was set, the
5fe762f6 5033 computation of the current number of files was incorrect.
495ae4b0 5034
7086e875
PH
5035 3. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5036 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5037 place.
5038
35af9f61
PH
5039 4. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5040 filter fails to execute.
5041
b668c215
PH
5042 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5043 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5044 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5045 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5046 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5047
a494b1e1
PH
5048 6. Added CONFIGURE_GROUP build-time option.
5049
5050 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5051 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5052 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5053 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
35edf2ff 5054
c5fcb476
PH
5055 8. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5056 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5057 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5058 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5059 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5060
69358f02
PH
5061 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission".
5062
5be20824
PH
506310. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5064
eb2c0248
PH
506511. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5066 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5067 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5068 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5069
2a3eea10
PH
507012. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5071 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5072 sender verification.
5073
507413. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
5075 $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.
5076
23c7ff99
PH
507714. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.
5078
4deaf07d
PH
507915. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different
5080 connection timeout.
5081
926e1192
PH
508216. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5083 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5084
650edc6f
PH
508517. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5086 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5087
2c7db3f5
PH
508818. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
5089 information about exactly what failed.
5090
3d235903
PH
509119. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.
5092
7c7ad977
PH
509320. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
5094 handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
5095 CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).
5096
981756db
PH
509721. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
5098 It is now set to "smtps".
5099
d4eb88df
PH
510022. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5101 ignore_target_hosts.
5102
510323. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5104 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5105 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5106 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5107 "[x.x.x.x]".
5108
7d468ab8
PH
510924. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5110 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5111 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5112
511325. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5114 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5115 wake it up if nothing else does.
5116
62c0818f
PH
511726. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5118 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5119 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5120 end up negative.
5121
26034054
PH
512227. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5123 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5124
af66f652
PH
512528. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
5126
90af77f4
PH
512729. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
5128 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
5129 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
5130 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
5131 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
5132 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
5133 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
5134 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
5135
d8ef3577
PH
513630. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
5137 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
5138 than one IP address.
5139
5cb8cbc6
PH
514031. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
5141 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
5142 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
5143 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
5144
14702f5b
PH
514532. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5146 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5147 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5148 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5149 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5150 1024 to 2048 bytes.
5151
063b1e99
PH
515233. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
5153 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
5154 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
5155 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
5156
652e1b65
PH
515734. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5158 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5159 respected.
5160
6f0c9a4f
PH
516135. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5162 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5163 $sender_host_address.
5164
33397d19
PH
516536. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
5166 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
5167 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
5168 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
5169 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
5170 very small.
5171
7bb56e1f
PH
517237. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
5173
5174 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
5175 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
5176
ea3bc19b
PH
5177 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
5178 just the host names, not the priorities.
5179
5180 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
5181 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
5182 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 5183
ea3bc19b 5184 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 5185 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 5186
0bcb2a0e
PH
518738. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
5188 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
5189 domain.
5190
2ac0e484
PH
519139. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
5192
4e1fde53
PH
519340. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
5194 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
5195
de365ded
PH
519641. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5197 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5198 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
5199
f05da2e8
PH
520042. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
5201
d6453af2
PH
520243. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
5203
f7b63901
PH
520444. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
5205
520645. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5207 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5208 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5209 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5210 because the tests only now provoked it.
5211
a444213a
PH
521246. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5213 (this can affect the format of dates).
5214
0ec020ea
PH
521547. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5216 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5217 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5218 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
5219
b1206957
PH
522048. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
5221
522249. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5223 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5224 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5225 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
5226
26dd5a95
PH
522750. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5228 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5229 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
5230
343b2385
PH
523151. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5232 autoreply.
5233
1c5466b9
PH
523452. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5235 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5236 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5237 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5238 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5239 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5240 is going on).
5241
55ee9ee3
PH
524253. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5243 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5244 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5245 the line.
5246
d38f8232
PH
524754. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5248 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5249 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5250
5251 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5252 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5253 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5254 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5255 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5256 so I produce this patch..."
5257
3295e65b
PH
5258 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5259 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5260 is not defined.
5261
7102e136
PH
526255. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5263 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
5264 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5265 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
ea3a6f44 5266 CAN-2005-0021
7102e136 5267
3ca0ba97
PH
526856. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
5269
c2bcbe20
PH
527057. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
5271 long debug lines gets shown.
5272
18ce445d
PH
527358. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
5274 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
5275
1f5b4c3d
PH
527659. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5277
5278 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5279 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5280 of $primary_hostname.
5281
b975ba52
PH
528260. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5283 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5284 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5285 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5286 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5287 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5288 by change 4.50/55 above.
5289
5290 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5291 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5292 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5293 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5294 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5295 running as the user.
ea3a6f44 5296 CAN-2005-0021
85b87bc2
PH
5297
529861. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5299 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5300 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 5301 CAN-2005-0022
b975ba52 5302
17ffcae7
PH
530362. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
5304 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
5305
d95f9fdb
PH
530663. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5307 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5308 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5309 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5310 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5311
86b8287f
PH
531264. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5313 This has been fixed.
5314
60dc5e56
PH
531565. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5316 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5317 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5318 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5319 the caching.)
5320
533244af
PH
532166. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5322
a5a28604
PH
532367. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5324 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5325 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5326 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5327
7e634d24
PH
532868. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5329 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5330
3e11c26b
PH
533169. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5332 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5333 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5334
6729cf78
PH
533570. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5336 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5337 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5338 message there.
5339
00f00ca5
PH
534071. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5341 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5342 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5343
c9bdd01c
PH
534472. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5345 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5346 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5347 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5348
d43194df
PH
534973. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5350 during host lookups.
5351
fe5b5d0b
PH
535274. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5353 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5354
5355 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5356
76a2d7ba
PH
535775. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5358 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5359 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5360 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5361 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5362 background.
5363
536476. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5365 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5366
04f7d5b9
PH
536777. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5368 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5369 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5370
bc60667e
PH
537178. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5372
bb6e88ff
PH
537379. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5374 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5375 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5376 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5377 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5378 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5379 process earlier.
5380
1e70f85b
PH
538180. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5382 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5383 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5384 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5385 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5386
538781. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5388 tables).
5389
4e01f9d6
PH
539082. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith.
5391

PH
539283. Patch from Sieve maintainer to fix unterminated string problem in
5393 "vacation" handling.
5394
6e2b4ccc
PH
539584. Some minor changes to the Linux configuration files to help with other
5396 OS variants using glibc.
5397
8e669ac1
PH

5401----------------------------------------------------
5402See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5403----------------------------------------------------
5404
5405
5406Exim version 4.44
5407-----------------
5408
5409 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5410 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5411 transport
5412
5413 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5414 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5415 place.
5416
5417 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5418 filter fails to execute.
5419
5420 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5421 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5422 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5423 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5424 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5425
5426 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5427 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5428 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5429 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5430
5431 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5432 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5433 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5434 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5435 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5436
5437 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5438
5439 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5440 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5441 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5442 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5443
5444 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5445 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5446 sender verification.
5447
544810. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5449 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5450
545111. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5452 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5453
545412. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5455 ignore_target_hosts.
5456
545713. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5458 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5459 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5460 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5461 "[x.x.x.x]".
5462
546314. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5464 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5465 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5466
546715. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5468 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5469 wake it up if nothing else does.
5470
547116. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5472 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5473 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5474 end up negative.
5475
547617. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5477 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5478
ea3a6f44 547918. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5480
548119. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5482 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5483 empty pattern.
5484
548520. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5486 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5487 one IP address.
5488
ea3a6f44
NM
548921. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5490 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5491 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5492 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5493 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5494 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5495
ea3a6f44
NM
549622. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5497 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5498 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5499
550023. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5501 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5502 $sender_host_address.
5503
550424. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5505
ea3a6f44
NM
550625. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5507 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5508 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5509
551026. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5511 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5512
ea3a6f44
NM
551327. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5514 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5515
ea3a6f44
NM
551628. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5517 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5518 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5519 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
5520
552129. eximstats updated to version 1.35
5522 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
5523 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly
5524
ea3a6f44
NM
552530. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5526 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5527 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5528 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 5529
ea3a6f44
NM
553031. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5531 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5532 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 5533
ea3a6f44
NM
553431. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5535 autoreply.
bbe902f0 5536
ea3a6f44
NM
553732. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5538 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5539 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5540 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5541 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5542 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5543 is going on).
bbe902f0 5544
ea3a6f44
NM
554533. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5546 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5547 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5548 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
bbe902f0
PH
5549 CAN-2005-0021
5550
ea3a6f44
NM
555134. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5552 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5553 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5554 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5555 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5556 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5557 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5558
5559 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5560 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5561 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5562 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5563 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5564 running as the user.
bbe902f0
PH
5565 CAN-2005-0021
5566
ea3a6f44
NM
556735. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5568 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5569 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
bbe902f0
PH
5570 CAN-2005-0022
5571
ea3a6f44
NM
557236. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5573 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5574 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5575 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5576 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 5577
ea3a6f44
NM
557837. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5579 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5580 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5581 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5582 the caching.)
bbe902f0 5583
ea3a6f44
NM
558438. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5585 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5586 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5587 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5588 because the tests only now provoked it.

5591Exim version 4.43
5592-----------------
5593
5594 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5595 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5596 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5597 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5598 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5599 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5600 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5601
5602 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5603 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5604 the delivery.
5605
5606 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5607
5608 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5609
5610 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5611 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5612 to local_scan().
5613
5614 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5615 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5616 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5617 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5618 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5619
5620 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5621 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5622
5623 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5624
5625 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5626
562710. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5628 header_sender only.
5629
563011. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5631 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5632
563312. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5634 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5635 affecting debugging statements).
5636
563713. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5638
563914. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5640 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5641 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5642 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5643 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5644 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5645 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5646 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5647 after the received time, and all would be well.
5648
564915. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5650 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5651 condition in an expansion string.
5652
565316. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5654
565517. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5656 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5657 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5658 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5659 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5660 job under whatever limits there are.
5661
566218. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5663
566419. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5665 space).
5666
566720. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5668 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5669 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5670 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5671 return path is set.
5672
567321. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5674 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5675 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5676 binary data in such strings.
5677
567822. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5679
568023. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5681 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5682 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5683 failure, which is pointless.
5684
568524. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5686
568725. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5688
568926. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5690 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5691 Sender: header lines.
5692
569327. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5694 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5695 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5696
569728. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5698 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5699 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5700 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5701 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5702 happens.
5703
570429. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5705 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5706 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5707 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5708 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5709
571030. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5711 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5712 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5713 1024.
5714
571531. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5716 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5717
571832. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5719 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5720
572133. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5722
572332. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5724
572533. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5726
572734. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5728 syntax error.
5729
573035. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5731
573236. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5733
573437. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5735 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5736 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5737 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5738
573938. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5740 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5741
5742
5743Exim version 4.42
5744-----------------
5745
5746 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5747 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5748 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5749 it was not quoted.
5750 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5751 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5752 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5753 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5754 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5755 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5756
5757 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5758 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5759 verification failure".
5760
5761 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5762 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5763 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5764 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5765
5766 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5767 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5768 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5769 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5770 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5771 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5772 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5773 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5774 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5775 treated as a timeout.
5776
5777 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5778 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5779 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5780 not set for Exim filters).
5781
5782 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5783 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5784 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5785
5786 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5787
5788 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5789 try to make them clearer.
5790
5791 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5792 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5793
5794 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5795
5796 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5797
579810. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5799 only the Cygwin environment.
5800
580111. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5802 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5803 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5804 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5805 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5806
580712. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5808 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5809 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5810 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5811 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5812 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5813 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5814
581513. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5816 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5817
581814. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5819
5820 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5821 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5822 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5823
5824 To: susanne@some.where
5825
5826 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5827 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5828 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5829 of addresses in From: header lines).
5830
5831 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5832 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5833 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5834
5835 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5836 treated as non-personal.
5837
5838 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5839 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5840
584115. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5842
584316. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5844
584517. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5846 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5847 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5848
584918. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5850 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5851
585219. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5853 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5854 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5855 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5856 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5857 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5858
585920. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5860 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5861 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5862 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5863 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5864 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5865 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5866 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5867
5868 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5869
587021. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5871 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5872
587322. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5874 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5875 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5876
587723. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5878 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5879
588024. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5881 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5882 rather than long int.
5883
588425. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5885
588626. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5887
5888
5889Exim version 4.41
5890-----------------
5891
5892 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5893 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5894 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5895 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5896 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5897 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5898
5899
5900Exim version 4.40
5901-----------------
5902
5903 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5904 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5905
5906 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5907 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5908 socklen_t is defined.
5909
5910 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5911 always exist.
5912
5913 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5914 configured.
5915
5916 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5917 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5918 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5919 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5920 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5921
5922 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5923 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5924 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5925 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5926
5927 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5928 of flapping under certain conditions.
5929
5930 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5931 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5932 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5933
5934 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5935
593610. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5937
593811. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5939 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5940 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5941 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5942
594312. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5944 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5945 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5946 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5947 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5948 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5949 preserved with the message after it was received.
5950
595113. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5952 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5953 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5954 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5955 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5956 test suite worked just fine.
5957
595814. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5959 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5960 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5961
596215. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5963 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5964 string.
5965
596616. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5967 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5968 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5969 does not fully solve it.
5970
597117. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5972 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5973 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5974 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5975 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5976
597718. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5978 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5979 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5980
598119. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5982 string, for example:
5983
5984 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5985
5986 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5987 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5988 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5989 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5990 the routers could not see them.
5991
599220. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5993 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5994
599521. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5996 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5997 output).
5998
599922. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
6000 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
6001 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
6002 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
6003 that needed quoting.
6004
600523. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
6006 was not being matched caselessly.
6007
600824. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
6009 backslashes.
6010
601125. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
6012 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
6013 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
6014 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
6015 when use_sender is false.
6016
601726. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
6018
601927. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
6020
602128. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
6022
602329. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
6024 the configuration file.
6025
602630. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
6027 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
6028
602931. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
6030
603132. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
6032 bytes in the message body.
6033
603433. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
6035 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
6036 delivery.
6037
603834. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
6039
604035. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
6041
604236. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
6043 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
6044 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
6045 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
6046 another IP address.
6047
6048
6049Exim version 4.34
6050-----------------
6051
6052 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
6053 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
6054
6055 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
6056 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
6057 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
6058 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
6059 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
6060
6061 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
6062 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
6063
6064 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
6065 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
6066 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
6067
6068 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
6069 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
6070 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
6071
6072 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
6073 for routers.
6074
6075 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
6076 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
6077 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
6078 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
6079 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
6080 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
6081 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
6082
6083
6084Exim version 4.33
6085-----------------
6086
6087 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
6088 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
6089 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
6090 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
6091 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
6092 default (and expected) setting.
6093
6094 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
6095 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
6096 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
6097 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
6098
6099 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
6100 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
6101
6102 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
6103 in domain lists.
6104
6105 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
6106 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
6107 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
6108 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
6109 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
6110 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
6111
6112 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
6113 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
6114 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
6115
6116 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
6117 part (NOT match_host).
6118
6119 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
6120
6121 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
6122 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
6123 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
6124 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
6125 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
6126 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
6127 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
6128 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
6129 the same named file.
6130
613110. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
6132 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
6133 when Exim is built.
6134
613511. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
6136 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
6137 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
6138 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
6139 a host name.
6140
614112. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
6142 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
6143 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
6144
614513. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
6146
614714. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
6148
614915. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
6150
615116. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
6152 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
6153
615417. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
6155 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
6156 before starting the TLS session.
6157
615818. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
6159
616019. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
6161 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
6162
616320. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
6164 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
6165 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
6166 colon in the middle).
6167
6168
6169Exim version 4.32
6170-----------------
6171
6172 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
6173 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
6174 multiple configurations are in use.
6175
6176 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
6177 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6178 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6179 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6180 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6181 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6182
6183 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6184 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6185
6186 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6187 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6188 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6189
6190 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6191 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6192 occurs.
6193
6194 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6195 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6196
6197 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6198
6199 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6200 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6201
6202 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6203
6204 -prval:sval
6205
6206 is equivalent to
6207
6208 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6209
6210 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6211 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6212 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6213 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6214 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6215
621610. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6217 Exim's behaviour:
6218
6219 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6220 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6221 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6222 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6223 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6224 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6225
6226 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6227 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6228 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6229 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6230 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6231 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6232 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6233 string.
6234
6235 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6236 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6237 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6238 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6239 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6240
624111. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6242
624312. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6244 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6245 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6246
624713. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6248
624914. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6250 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6251 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6252 information.
6253
625415. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6255 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6256
625716. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6258 Three changes have been made:
6259
6260 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6261 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6262 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6263 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6264 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6265
6266 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6267 been restored.
6268
6269 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6270 the modified behaviour.
6271
6272
6273Exim version 4.31
6274-----------------
6275
6276 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6277 Larry Rosenman.
6278
6279 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6280 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6281
6282 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6283 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6284 try to track down a specific problem.
6285
6286 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6287 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6288 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6289
6290 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6291 warning.
6292
6293 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6294 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6295 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6296 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6297 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6298 some earlier ones do not.
6299
6300 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6301
6302 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6303 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6304 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6305 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6306 address literals are enabled, of course).
6307
6308 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6309
631010. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6311 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6312 by a command such as
6313
6314 exim -f "" ...
6315
6316 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6317
631811. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6319
632012. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6321 remained set. It is now erased.
6322
632313. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6324 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6325
632614. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6327 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6328 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6329 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6330 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6331 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6332 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6333 appropriate error code.
6334
633515. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6336 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6337 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6338 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6339 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6340 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6341
634216. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6343 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6344 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6345
634617. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6347 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6348 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6349 terminate the header.
6350
635118. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6352 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6353 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6354
635519. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6356 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6357 (4.30/29). In particular:
6358
6359 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6360 imposed.
6361
6362 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6363 to write a maildirsize file.
6364
6365 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6366 the transport, the new value overrides.
6367
6368 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6369 count.
6370
637120. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6372 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6373 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6374 space or a tab.
6375
637621. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6377 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6378 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6379 the fallback hosts.
6380
638122. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6382 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6383 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6384
638523. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6386 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6387 using a union.
6388
638924. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6390 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6391 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6392
639325. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6394
639526. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6396
639727. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6398
639928. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6400 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6401 become corrupted.
6402
640329. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6404 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6405 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6406 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6407 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6408 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6409 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6410 too great.
6411
641230. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6413 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6414 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6415 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6416 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6417 incorrectly.
6418
641931. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6420 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6421 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6422 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6423 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6424 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6425 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6426 cached value only when the same options are set.
6427
642832. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6429
643033. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6431 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6432 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6433 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6434 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6435
643634: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6437 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6438 it is clearly obsolete.
6439
644035. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6441 transport.
6442
644336. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6444 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6445 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6446 times.
6447
644837. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6449 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6450 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6451 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6452 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6453
645438. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6455 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6456 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6457 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6458
645939. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6460
6461 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6462
6463 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6464 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6465 2^31.
6466
646740. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6468 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6469 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6470 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6471 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6472 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6473 $localpart_data.
6474
647541. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6476 with the -f command-line option.
6477
647842. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6479 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6480 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6481 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6482 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6483 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6484
648543. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6486 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6487 line.
6488
648944. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6490 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6491 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6492 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6493 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6494 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6495 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6496 buffer is too small.
6497
649845. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6499 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6500
650146. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6502 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6503 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6504 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6505 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6506 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6507 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6508 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6509 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6510
651147. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6512 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6513 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6514
651548. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6516 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6517 ACL").
6518
651949. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6520 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6521 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6522 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6523 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6524
652550. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6526 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6527 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6528 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6529 is set.
6530
653151. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6532
653352. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6534
653553. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6536 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6537
653854. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6539 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6540 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6541
654255. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6543 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6544 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6545 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6546 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6547
654856. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6549 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6550 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6551 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6552 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6553 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6554 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6555
655657. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6557 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6558 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6559 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6560 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6561 the test of how many are available.
6562
656358. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6564 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6565 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6566 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6567 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6568 new message is started.
6569
657059. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6571 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6572
657360. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6574 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6575
657661. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6577 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6578 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6579 is no long logged.
6580
658162. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6582 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6583 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6584 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6585 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6586 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6587 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6588
658963. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6590 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6591 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6592 interpreted as octal.
6593
659464. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6595 setting.
6596
659765. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6598 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6599 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6600 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6601 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6602 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6603
660466. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6605 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6606 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6607 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6608
6609 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6610 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6611 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6612 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6613
6614 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6615 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6616 is a bug fix.
6617
6618 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6619 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6620
662167. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6622
662368. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6624 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6625 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6626 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6627
662869. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6629 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6630 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6631 supplied", which is not helpful.
6632
663370. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6634 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6635 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6636
663771. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6638 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6639 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6640 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6641 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6642 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6643 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6644 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6645
664672. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6647 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6648 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6649 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6650 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6651
665273. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6653 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6654 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6655 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6656 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6657 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6658
665974. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6660 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6661 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6662
666375. Added write_rejectlog option.
6664
666576. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6666 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6667 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6668 variables.
6669
667077. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6671
667278. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6673 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6674 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6675 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6676 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6677 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6678 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6679 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6680
668179. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6682 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6683 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6684 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6685 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6686
668780. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6688 Haardt.
6689
669081. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6691 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6692 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6693 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6694 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6695 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6696 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6697 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6698 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6699
6700
6701Exim version 4.30
6702-----------------
6703
6704 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6705 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6706 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6707
6708 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6709 fixed.
6710
6711 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6712 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6713 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6714
6715 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6716 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6717 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6718 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6719 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6720 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.

6722 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6723 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6724 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6725 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6726 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6727 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6728 the Exim test suite.
6729
6730 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6731 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6732 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6733 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6734
6735 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6736 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6737 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6738 specify it in this variable.
6739
6740 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6741 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6742 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6743 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6744
6745 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6746 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6747 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6748 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6749
6750 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6751 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6752 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6753 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6754 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6755
6756 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6757
675810. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6759 they are logged.
6760
676111. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6762 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6763 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6764 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6765 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6766
676712. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6768 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6769
677013. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6771 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6772 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6773 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6774 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6775
677614. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6777 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6778
677915. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6780 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6781 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6782
678316. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6784 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6785
678617. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6787 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6788
678918. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6790 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6791 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6792
679319. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6794 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6795
679620. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6797 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6798 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6799 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6800
680121. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6802
680322. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6804 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6805 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6806 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6807
680823. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6809
681024. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6811 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6812
681325. Added .include_if_exists.
6814
681526. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6816 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6817 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6818 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6819 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6820 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6821
682227. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6823
682428. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6825 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6826 this.
6827
682829. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6829
683030. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6831 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6832
6833 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6834 550 Sender verify failed
6835
6836 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6837 the final line of the response.
6838
683931. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6840 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6841 all other user lookups.
6842
684332. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6844 delivery time.
6845
684633. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6847 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6848 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6849 result into an int without checking.
6850
685134. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6852 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6853 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6854
685535. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6856 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6857 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6858 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6859
686036. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6861 correctly.
6862
686337. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6864 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6865
686638. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6867 to the empty sender.
6868
686939. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6870 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6871 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6872 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6873 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6874 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6875 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6876 panic log.
6877
687840. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6879 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6880 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6881 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6882 used.
6883
688441. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6885 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6886
688742. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6888 timestamps.
6889
689043. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6891 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6892
689344. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6894
689545. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6896 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6897 logs.
6898
689946. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6900 as soon as it is encountered.
6901
690247. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6903
690448. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6905 rewritten to "<>".
6906
690749. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6908 recognizes a tab character.
6909
691050. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6911 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6912 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6913 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6914
691551. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6916
691752. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6918 crash.
6919
692053. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6921
692254. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6923
692455. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6925 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6926 2822.
6927
692856. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6929 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6930 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6931 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6932 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6933
693457. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6935 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6936
693758. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6938 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6939 list (.included file names were always shown).
6940
694159. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6942 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6943 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6944 root at that time.
6945
694660. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6947 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6948
694961. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6950
695162. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6952
695363. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6954
695564. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6956 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6957 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6958 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6959 failures to open the logs.
6960
696165. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6962 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6963 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6964 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6965 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6966 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6967 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6968
6969
6970Exim version 4.24
6971-----------------
6972
6973 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6974 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6975 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6976 change 4.23/1.
6977
6978 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6979 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6980 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6981
6982 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6983 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6984 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6985
6986 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6987 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6988 causing some misleading effects.
6989
6990 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6991 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6992 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6993
6994 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6995 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6996 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6997 queue-runner function directly.
6998
6999
7000Exim version 4.23
7001-----------------
7002
7003 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
7004 HEADERS_CHARSET.
7005
7006 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
7007 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
7008 was always written to the default place.
7009
7010 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
7011 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
7012 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
7013
7014 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
7015
7016 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
7017
7018 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
7019 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
7020 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
7021
7022 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
7023 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
7024 must start.
7025
7026 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
7027 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
7028 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
7029
7030 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
7031 command line option is disabled.
7032
7033 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
7034 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
7035
7036 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
7037
7038 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
7039
7040 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
7041 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
7042
704310. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
7044
704511. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
7046 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
7047 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
7048 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
7049 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
7050 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
7051
705212. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
7053 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
7054 timeout.
7055
705613. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
7057 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
7058
705914. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
7060 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
7061
706215. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
7063 received was valid base64.
7064
706516. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
7066 name of the variable that was being set.
7067
706817. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
7069
707018. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
7071 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
7072 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
7073 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
7074 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
7075 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
7076
707719. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
7078
707920. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
7080 nor realm was specified.
7081
708221. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
7083 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
7084 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
7085 errors are given to SMTP connections.
7086
708722. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
7088 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
7089 failing to send a response to QUIT.
7090
709123. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
7092 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
7093 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
7094
709524. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
7096 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
7097 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
7098 some systems use these upper case variants.
7099
710025. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
7101 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
7102 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
7103 socket" when it tried to send the third.
7104
710526. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
7106
710727. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
7108 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
7109
711028. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
7111 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
7112 expansion variable.
7113
711429. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
7115
711630. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
7117 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
7118 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
7119 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
7120
712131. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
7122 using it.
7123
712432. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
7125 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
7126 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
7127
712833. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
7129 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
7130
713134. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
7132 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
7133 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
7134 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
7135
713635. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
7137 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
7138 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
7139
714036. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
7141
714237. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
7143 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
7144 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
7145 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
7146 aborted.
7147
714838. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
7149 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
7150 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
7151
715239. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
7153
715440. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
7155 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
7156
715741. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
7158 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
7159
716042. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
7161 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
7162 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
7163 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
7164 when emails are that large.
7165
7166
7167
7168Exim version 4.22
7169-----------------
7170
7171 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
7172 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
7173
7174 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
7175 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
7176 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
7177
7178 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7179 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7180 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7181
7182 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7183 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7184 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7185 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7186 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7187
7188 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7189 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7190 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7191 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7192 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7193 ever.
7194
7195 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7196 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7197 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7198 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7199 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7200 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7201 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7202 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7203 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7204 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7205 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7206 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7207 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7208 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7209
7210 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7211 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7212 parameterised it.
7213
7214 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7215 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7216 error should be diagnosed.
7217
7218 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7219 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7220 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7221 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7222 appeared instead of "NULL".
7223
722410. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7225 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7226 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7227 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7228 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7229 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7230 proceeds).
7231
7232 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7233 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7234 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7235
7236
7237Exim version 4.21
7238-----------------
7239
7240 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7241 or receiver verification errors.
7242
7243 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7244 name.
7245
7246 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7247 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7248 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7249 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7250
7251 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7252 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7253 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7254 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7255 shouldn't happen again.
7256
7257 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7258 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7259 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7260
7261 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7262 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7263
7264 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7265
7266 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7267 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7268
7269 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7270 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7271 RFC.
7272
727310. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7274 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7275 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7276
727711. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7278 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7279 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7280 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7281
728212. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7283 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7284 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7285 to define what should happen).
7286
728713. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7288 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7289 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7290
729114. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7292
729315. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7294
729516. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7296 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7297
4c04137d 729817. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7299 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7300 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7301 structure in all cases.
7302
7303 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7304 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7305 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7306 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7307
730818. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7309 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7310 domain name.
7311
731219. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7313 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7314
731520. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7316 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7317
731821. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7319 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7320 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7321
732222. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7323 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7324 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7325
732623. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7327 the book and for uniformity.
7328
732924. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7330
733125. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7332 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7333 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7334 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7335 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7336 non-existent command as the problem.
7337
733826. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7339 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7340 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7341
734227. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7343
734428. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7345 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7346 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7347
734829. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7349 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7350 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7351 timestamps using strftime().
7352
735330. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7354 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7355
735632. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7357 transport-time rewrites.
7358
735933. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7360 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7361 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7362 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7363
736434. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7365 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7366
736735. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7368 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7369 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7370 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7371 comma and a space.
7372
737336. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7374 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7375 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7376 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7377 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7378 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7379 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7380
738137. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7382 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7383 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7384 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7385 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7386
738738. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7388 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7389 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7390 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7391 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7392 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7393 remaining text gets split now.
7394
739539. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7396 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7397 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7398 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7399
740040. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7401 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7402 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7403 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7404 $return_path.
7405
740641. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7407 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7408 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7409 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7410 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7411 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7412 passed through if needed.
7413
741442. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7415 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7416 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7417 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7418 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7419 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7420
742143. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7422 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7423 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7424 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7425 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7426
742744. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7428 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7429 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7430 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7431 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7432
743345. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7434 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7435 noticed.
7436
743746. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7438 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7439 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7440 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7441 mayhem of various kinds.
7442
744347. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7444 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7445 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7446 the right test for positive values.
7447
744848. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7449 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7450 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7451 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7452 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7453 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7454 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7455 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7456 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7457 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7458 envelope.
7459
746049. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7461 module.
7462
746350. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7464 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7465 forbidding it.
7466
746751. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7468 the existing equality matching.
7469
747052. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7471 dealing with inode numbers.
7472
747353. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7474 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7475 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7476
747754. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7478 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7479 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7480 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7481 local_scan().
7482
748355. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7484 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7485 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7486 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7487 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7488 relay addresses has also been removed.
7489
749056. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7491
749257. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7493 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7494 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7495
749658. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7497 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7498 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7499 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7500 processing applies to CR:
7501
7502 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7503 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7504
7505 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7506 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7507 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7508 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7509
751059. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7511 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7512 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7513
751460. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7515 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7516 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7517 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7518 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7519 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7520 arisen.
7521
752261. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7523 program routers.
7524
752562. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7526 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7527 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7528 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7529 adds:
7530
7531 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7532
7533 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7534
7535 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7536
753763. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7538 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7539 not considered personal.
7540
754164. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7542
754365. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7544
754566. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7546
754767. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7548 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7549 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7550 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7551 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7552 header lines, and spool format errors.
7553
755468. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7555 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7556 for more flexibility.
7557
755869. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7559 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7560 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7561
756270. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7563 Sabourenkov.
7564
756571. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7566 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7567 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7568 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7569 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7570 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7571 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7572 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7573 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7574
757572. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7576 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7577 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7578 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7579 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7580 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7581 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7582
758373. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7584 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7585 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7586
758774. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7588 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7589 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7590 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7591 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7592 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7593 instead of killing the process with assert().
7594
759575. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7596 than Unicode encoding.
7597
759876. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7599 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7600 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7601 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7602
760377. Added process_log_path.
7604
760578. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7606 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7607
760879. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7609 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7610
761180. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7612 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7613 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7614
761581. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7616 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7617 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7618 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7619 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7620 were applied:
7621
7622 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7623 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7624 as invalid.
7625
762682. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7627 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7628 they will be used during message reception.
