6Exim version 4.93+fixes
7-----------------------
8This is not an official release. It is just a branch, collecting
9proposed bugfixes. Depending on your environment the fixes may be
10necessary to build and/or run Exim successfully.

12JH/05 Regard command-line receipients as tainted.

14JH/07 Bug 2489: Fix crash in the "pam" expansion condition. It seems that the
15 PAM library frees one of the arguments given to it, despite the
16 documentation. Therefore a plain malloc must be used.

JH
19Exim version 4.93
20-----------------
21
8a40db1c
JH
22JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
23 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 24
fc243e94 25JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
26 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
27 its own TCP segment.
28
897024f1
JH
29JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
30 each verb.
31
f1be21cf
JH
32JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
33
fe12ec88
JH
34JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
35
05bf16f6
JH
36JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
37 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
38
fc243e94
JH
39JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
40 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
41 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
42 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
43 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
44 suitably configured).
45
c05bdbd6 46JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
47 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
48
14bc9cf0
JH
49JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
50 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
51 crash could result.
52
254f38d1
JH
53JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
54 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
55
c09dbcfb
JH
56JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
57 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
58 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
59 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
60 to this system.
254f38d1 61
f9fc9427
JH
62JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
63 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
64 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
65
e6024a5e
JH
66JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
67 output.
68
1fbf41cd
JH
69JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
70 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
71
3c55eef2 72JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 73 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
74 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
75 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
76 input).
77
cb80814d
HSHR
78HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
79 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
80 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
81 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
82 (It was "hdr.$pid".)
83
7d8d08c4 84HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
82a996b1
HSHR
85 shared (NFS) environment.
86
7d8d08c4 87HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
82a996b1
HSHR
88 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
89 affected.
90
bd83c6f9
JH
91JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
92 on some platforms for bit 31.
93
d9acfc1c
JH
94JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
95 to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
96 previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
97 like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
98 and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
99 the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
100 This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
101 and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
102
b10c87b3
JH
103JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
104
7a501c87
JH
105JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
106 verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
107
e5903596
JH
108JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue. Previously, even with the option
109 queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
110 facility.
111
12d95aa6
JH
112JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
113 directory-of-certs mode. Previously they were advertised despite the
114 documentation.
115
96eb7d2a
JH
116JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
117 A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
118 for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
119 not do so.
120
59c0959a 121JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
01603eec
JH
122 default. If built with the facility, DANE will be used. The facility
123 SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
124
125JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
de517fd3
JH
126 is replaced with DISABLE_TLS. Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
127 must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
128 the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
129 choice. Non-TLS builds are still supported.
59c0959a 130
48519cef
JH
131JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
132 reject under TFO.
96eb7d2a 133
efad2f41 134JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
4e48d56c 135 default. If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
efad2f41
JH
136 be requested on all coneections.
137
4e48d56c
JH
138JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
139 controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.
140
6ee11061 141PP/01 Unbreak heimdal_gssapi, broken in 4.92.
0a5441fc 142
87abcb24
JH
143JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
144 success-DSN messages. Previously the From: header was always the default
145 one for these; the option was ignored.
6ee11061 146
0a5441fc
JH
147JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
148 Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
149 single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
150 long time. Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
151
436bda2a
JH
152JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field. Previously it was the post-routing
153 delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
154 forwarding. Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
155 standards.
156
df98a6ff
JH
157JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
158 requested. Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
159 error ignored was made.
160
21aa0597
JH
161JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)
162
f3ebb786
JH
163JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
164 channel, and values derived from them. Refuse to expand any tainted
165 values, to catch one form of exploit.
166
9fa4d5b4
RJ
167JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option. Previously the expansion result
168 was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test. Found and
169 fixed by Ruben Jenster.
170
bd231acd
JH
171JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown. When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
172 an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
173 causing a segfault.
174
7b564712
JH
175JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
176 them in our smtp response.
177
9c6881f8 178JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
dbbf21a7
JH
179 any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything). Previously it
180 was only for check_local user. The change removes one item of manual
181 configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
182 handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
183
9c6881f8
JH
184JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
185 link count into consideration.
186
7d8d08c4
JH
187HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
188 caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
189
190JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
191 accordance with RFC 2308. Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
192 receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
193 surprise.
194
c3aefacc
HSHR
195HS/05 Handle trailing backslash gracefully. (CVE-2019-15846)
196
1a2e76e1
JH
197JH/39 Promote DMARC support to mainline.
198
d6c829b9
JH
199JH/40 Bug 2452: Add a References: header to DSNs.
200
49132a3b
JH
201JH/41 With GnuTLS 3.6.0 (and later) do not attempt to manage Diffie-Hellman
202 parameters. The relevant library call is documented as "Deprecated: This
203 function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. Since
204 3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919."
205
ab0e957b 206HS/06 Change the default of dnssec_request_domains to "*"
40ed89b3 207
c5040dfd
JH
208JH/42 Bug 2545: Fix CHUNKING for all RCPT commands rejected. Previously we
209 carried on and emitted a BDAT command, even when PIPELINING was not
210 active.
211
13e70f55
JH
212JH/43 Bug 2465: Fix taint-handling in dsearch lookup. Previously a nontainted
213 buffer was used for the filename, resulting in a trap when tainted
214 arguments (eg. $domain) were used.
215
2043336d
JH
216JH/44 With OpenSSL 1.1.1 (onwards) disable renegotiation for TLS1.2 and below;
217 recommended to avoid a possible server-load attack. The feature can be
218 re-enabled via the openssl_options main cofiguration option.
219
b2d54f83
JH
220JH/45 local_scan API: documented the current smtp_printf() call. This changed
221 for version 4.90 - adding a "more data" boolean to the arguments.
b3317cfa
JH
222 Bumped the ABI version number also, this having been missed previously;
223 release versions 4.90 to 4.92.3 inclusive were effectively broken in
224 respect of usage of smtp_printf() by either local_scan code or libraries
225 accessed via the ${dlfunc } expansion item. Both will need coding
226 adjustment for any calls to smtp_printf() to match the new function
227 signature; a FALSE value for the new argument is always safe.
b2d54f83 228
1bf08084
JH
229JH/46 FreeBSD: fix use of the sendfile() syscall. The shim was not updating
230 the file-offset (which the Linux syscall does, and exim expects); this
231 resulted in an indefinite loop.
232
7af11cd0
JH
233JH/47 ARC: fix crash in signing, triggered when a configuration error failed
234 to do ARC verification. The Authentication-Results: header line added
235 by the configuration then had no ARC item.
236
c5040dfd 237
d99f54e4

238Exim version 4.92
239-----------------
240
9723f966
JH
241JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
242 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
243
244JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
245 non-signal-safe functions being used.
246
247JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
248 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
249 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 250
ea7b1f16
JH
251JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
252 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
253 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
254
cfbb0d24
JH
255JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
256 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
257 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
258 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
259 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
260 messed with.
261
85defcf0
PP
262PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
263 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
264
1bd642c2
JH
265JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
266 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
267 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
268 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
269 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
270 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
271 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
272
2ddb4094
JH
273JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
274 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
275
1613fd68
JH
276JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
277 legitimate.
278
e6057245
JH
279JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
280 Previously this would segfault.
281
7b9822bf
JH
282JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
283 segfault.
284
d8d9f930
JH
285JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
286 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
287 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
288 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
289 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
290 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
291
61e3f250
JH
292JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
293
7a8b9519
JH
294JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
295 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
296 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
297 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
298
49e56fb3
JH
299JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
300
74f1a423
JH
301JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
302 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
303 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
304 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
305
5054c4fd 306JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
307
308JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
5054c4fd 309
946515bf
JH
310JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
311 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
312 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
313
8c34c611
JH
314JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
315 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
316 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
317
1bca4f5f
PP
318PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
319
8a6b4e02
JH
320JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
321 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
322 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
323 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
324
0a682b6c
PP
325PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
326 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
327 promised '?' replacement.
328
c2c451ac
PP
329PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
330
8768d548
JH
331JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
332 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
333 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
334 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
335 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
336
5455f548
JH
337JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
338 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
339 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
340
25beaee4
MK
341JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
342 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
343 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
344
7ea1237c 345JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 346 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
347 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
348
ebda598a
JH
349JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
350 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
351 hope that is portable enough.
352
570cb1bd
JH
353JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
354 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
355 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
356 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
357
eb58ddf5
JH
358JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
359 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
360 SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
361
ffbc20ed
MK
362JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
363 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
364 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
365 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
366
4e928780
MK
367JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
368 msg:fail:internal event. Developement by Matthias Kurz.
369
75c121f0 370JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
059f2ace 371 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all
75c121f0
JH
372 the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
373 overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
374
e30f4f43
JH
375JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
376 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
377 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
378
a45431fa
JH
379JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
380 platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
381 (i.e. more than 2 TB). Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
382 the previous G, M, k.
383
c0fb53b7
JH
384JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
385 $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure. Previously
386 it was unset.

459 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
460 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
461 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
462 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
463 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
464 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
465 Main pool for expansions.
466 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
467 active in the testsuite.

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

894JH/13 Bug 2027: Avoid attempting to use TCP Fast Open for non-transport client
895 TCP connections (such as for Spamd) unless the daemon successfully set
896 Fast Open mode on its listening sockets. This fixes breakage seen on
897 too-old kernels or those not configured for Fast Open, at the cost of
898 requiring both directions being enabled for TFO, and TFO never being used
899 by non-daemon-related Exim processes.

920 variables at a store-reset and panics on a dangling pointer; add code
921 explicitly nulling out all the variables discovered. Fixes one known
922 bug: a transport crash, where a dangling pointer for $sending_ip_address
923 originally assigned in a verify callout, is re-used.

960JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
961 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
962 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
963 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
964 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
965 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
966 if one fails this test.
967 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
968 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1171JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
1172 defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built
4c04137d 1173 with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testsuite sane.
23f3dc67
JH
1174 If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
1175 logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably
1176 they will retry in-clear.
1177 Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
1178 at installation time.

1183JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
1184 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
1185 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
1186 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
4c04137d 1187 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx response.

1191 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
1192 installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
1193 result is that the running daemon panics and dies.

1249JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was
1250 incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a
1251 body-termination at the receiving system - resulting in truncated mails.
62ac2eb7 1252 Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message
1bc460a6

1782TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1783
1784 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1785 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1786 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1787 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1788 the retry rules.
1789
1790 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1791 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1792 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1793
1794 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1795 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1796 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1797 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1798
1ddeb334
TF
1799 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1800 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1801 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1802 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1803 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1804 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1805 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1806
1807 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1808 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

2130TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
2131 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
2132 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
2133
2134 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
2135 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
2136 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
2137 not safe for signals.
2138
2139 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2140 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2141 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2142 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2143 exiwhat.

TF
2145TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2146
2147 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2148 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2149 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2150 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 2151 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
2152
2153 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2154 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2155 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2156 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2157 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2158 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2159
2160 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2161 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2162 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2163 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2164
2165 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2166 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2167 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2168 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2169
2170 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2171 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2172 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2173 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2174 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2175 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2176 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2177 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2178 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2179
2180 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2181 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2182 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2183 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2184
2185 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2186 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2187 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2188 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2189 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2190 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2191 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2192 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2193 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2194 details in the main documentation.

2745 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2763Exim version 4.68
2764-----------------
2765
2766PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2767
6a3bceb1
PH
2768PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2769 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2770 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2771 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2772 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2773 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2774 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2775 for iplsearch lookups.
2776
2777 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2778 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2779 previously such lookups could never work.
2780
4c04137d 2781 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2782 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2783 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.
2784

2785TK/01 Change PRVS address formatting scheme to reflect latests BATV draft
2786 version.
2787
0806a9c5
MH
2788MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2789 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2790 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2791 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2792 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2793 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2798MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2799 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2800 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2801 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2802 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2803 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2880 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2881 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2882 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.

2986PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2987 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2988 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2989 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2990 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2991 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2992 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
3004PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in

3007 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
3008 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
3009 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
3010 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

58eb016e 3065PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending
563b63fa
PH
3066 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
3067 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
3068 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
3069 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
3070 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
3071 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
3072 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 3073 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

3081Exim version 4.66
3082-----------------
3083
3084PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
3085 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
3086
3087 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
3088 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
3089
3090 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
3091 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
3092 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
3093
3094 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
3095 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
3096 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
3097 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
3098 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

3112PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
3113 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
3114 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
3115 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
3116 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
3117 rather than extend the field.

3123TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
3124 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
3125 While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
3126 filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
3127 these files.

3129TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
3130 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
3131 triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
3132
3133TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
3134 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,

3137TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,

3140 in the field name.

2b1c6e3a
PH
3142PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3143 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3144 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3145 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3146 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3147 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3148 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3149 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3150 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3151 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3152 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3186PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
3187 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
3188 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3189 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3190 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3191 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3192 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
3193 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 3195PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 3196 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
3197 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3198 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3199 function.
3200 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3201 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3202 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3203 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3204 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3205 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3206 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3207 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3208 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3213PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
3214 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3215 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3216 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3217 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3218 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3219 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3220 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

3222PH/15 Applied Michael Deutschmann's patch to allow DNS black list processing to
3223 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined
3224 list.
3225
322050c2
PH
3226PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3227 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3228 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3229 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3230 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3231 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3232 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3233 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3234 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3235 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3236 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3237 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3238 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
3240PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3241 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3242 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3243 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3244 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3245 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3246 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.
3247

PH
3248PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3249 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3250 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3251 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3252 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3253 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3254 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3255 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3256 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3257 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

602e59e5
PH
3259PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3260 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3261 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3262 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3263 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.
3264
411ef850
PH
3265PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3266 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3267 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3268 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3269 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3270 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3271 RSA_EXPORT functionality.
3272
7befa435
PH
3273PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
3274 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
3275 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
3276 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3277 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3278 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3279 been verified.

PH
3310
3311PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3312 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3313 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3314 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3315 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3316 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3317 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3318 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3319 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3320
3321 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3322 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3323 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3324 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3325 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3326 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3327 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3328 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3329 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3330
3331 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3332 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3333 hammering the server.

3348PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
3349 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
3350 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
3351 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3352 fails.
3353
48c7f9e2
PH
3354PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3355 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3356 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3357 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3358 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
3359 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3360 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3361 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3362 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3363 smtp transport.

3633 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3634 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3635 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3636 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3637 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3638 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a

3678 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3679 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was

3724 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

3760 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3761 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3762 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3763 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3764 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3765 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
3775PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3776 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3777 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3778 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3779 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3780 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3781 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3782 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3783 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3880PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3881 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3882 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3883 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3884 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3885 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3886 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3887 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3888 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3889 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3900 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3901 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3902 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the

3924PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3925 used in LMTP mode:
3926
3927 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3928 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3929 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3930 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3931
3932 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3933 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3934 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3935
3936PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3937 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3938 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3939 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3940 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

4010PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
4011 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
4012 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
4013 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
4014 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
4015 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
4016 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
4017 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
4018 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
4019 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
4020 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

4044 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty

4046
4047 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
4048 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
4049 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
4050 silly things.
4051
4052 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
4053 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

4077 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
4078 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
4079 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
4080 identical. For example:
4081
4082 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
4083
4084 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
4085 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
4086 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

4178 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4179 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4180 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4181 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4182 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4183 the text comparison.

4492 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4629 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
4630 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
4631 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
4632 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was

4700
4701PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4702 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4703 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4704 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4705 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4706 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4707 file.
4708
4709PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4710 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4711 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4712 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4713 these two options.

4718 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4719 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4720 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4721 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4722 address.

4727PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =

4729 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4730 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4731 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_

4787 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4788 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4789 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources

4810PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it

4812 understands it better than I do:
4813
4814 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4815 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4816
4817 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4818 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4819 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4820 => three warnings about OTP not working
4821 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4822
4823 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4824 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4825 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4826 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4827 for each call.)
4828 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4829 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4830

PH
4897PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4898 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4899 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4900 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4901 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4902 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4903 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4904
4905 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4906 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4907 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4908 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4909 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4910
4911 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4912 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4913 routed further.

4958 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4959 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4960 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4961 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4962 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

4972A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4973----------------------------------------
4974
4975Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4976changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4977needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4978in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4979that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4980release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4981from 4.43.
4982
4983I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
49844.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4985those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4986historical information.

5020 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5021 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5022
69358f02
PH
5023 9. Added the /retain_sender option to "control=submission".
5024
5be20824
PH
502510. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5026
eb2c0248
PH
502711. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5028 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5029 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5030 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5031
2a3eea10
PH
503212. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5033 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5034 sender verification.
5035
503613. The value of address_data from a sender verification is now available in
5037 $sender_address_data in subsequent conditions in the ACL statement.
5038
23c7ff99
PH
503914. Added forbid_sieve_filter and forbid_exim_filter to the redirect router.
5040
4deaf07d
PH
504115. Added a new option "connect=<time>" to callout options, to set a different
5042 connection timeout.
5043
926e1192
PH
504416. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5045 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5046
650edc6f
PH
504717. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5048 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5049
2c7db3f5
PH
505018. New variables $sender_verify_failure and $recipient_verify_failure contain
5051 information about exactly what failed.
5052
3d235903
PH
505319. Added -dd to debug only the daemon process.
5054
7c7ad977
PH
505520. Incorporated Michael Haardt's patch to ldap.c for improving the way it
5056 handles timeouts, both on the server side and network timeouts. Renamed the
5057 CONNECT parameter as NETTIMEOUT (but kept the old name for compatibility).
5058
981756db
PH
505921. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
5060 It is now set to "smtps".
5061
d4eb88df
PH
506222. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5063 ignore_target_hosts.
5064
506523. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5066 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5067 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5068 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5069 "[x.x.x.x]".
5070
7d468ab8
PH
507124. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5072 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5073 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5074
507525. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5076 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5077 wake it up if nothing else does.
5078
62c0818f
PH
507926. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5080 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5081 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5082 end up negative.
5083
26034054
PH
508427. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5085 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5086
af66f652
PH
508728. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
5088
90af77f4
PH
508929. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
5090 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
5091 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
5092 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
5093 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
5094 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
5095 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
5096 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
5097
d8ef3577
PH
509830. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
5099 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
5100 than one IP address.
5101
5cb8cbc6
PH
510231. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
5103 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
5104 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
5105 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
5106
14702f5b
PH
510732. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5108 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5109 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5110 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5111 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5112 1024 to 2048 bytes.
5113
063b1e99
PH
511433. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
5115 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
5116 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
5117 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
5118
652e1b65
PH
511934. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5120 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5121 respected.
5122
6f0c9a4f
PH
512335. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5124 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5125 $sender_host_address.
5126
33397d19
PH
512736. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
5128 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
5129 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
5130 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
5131 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
5132 very small.
5133
7bb56e1f
PH
513437. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
5135
5136 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
5137 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
5138
ea3bc19b
PH
5139 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
5140 just the host names, not the priorities.
5141
5142 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
5143 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
5144 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 5145
ea3bc19b 5146 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 5147 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 5148
0bcb2a0e
PH
514938. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
5150 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
5151 domain.
5152
2ac0e484
PH
515339. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
5154
4e1fde53
PH
515540. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
5156 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
5157
de365ded
PH
515841. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5159 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5160 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
5161
f05da2e8
PH
516242. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.
5163
d6453af2
PH
516443. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
5165
f7b63901
PH
516644. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
5167
516845. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5169 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5170 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5171 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5172 because the tests only now provoked it.
5173
a444213a
PH
517446. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5175 (this can affect the format of dates).
5176
0ec020ea
PH
517747. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5178 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5179 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5180 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
5181
b1206957
PH
518248. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
5183
518449. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5185 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5186 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5187 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
5188
26dd5a95
PH
518950. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5190 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5191 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
5192
343b2385
PH
519351. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5194 autoreply.
5195
1c5466b9
PH
519652. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5197 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5198 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5199 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5200 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5201 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5202 is going on).
5203
55ee9ee3
PH
520453. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5205 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5206 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5207 the line.
5208
d38f8232
PH
520954. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5210 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5211 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5212
5213 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5214 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5215 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5216 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5217 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5218 so I produce this patch..."
5219
3295e65b
PH
5220 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5221 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5222 is not defined.
5223
7102e136
PH
522455. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5225 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
5226 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5227 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
ea3a6f44 5228 CAN-2005-0021
7102e136 5229
3ca0ba97
PH
523056. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.
5231
c2bcbe20
PH
523257. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
5233 long debug lines gets shown.
5234
18ce445d
PH
523558. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
5236 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
5237
1f5b4c3d
PH
523859. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5239
5240 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5241 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5242 of $primary_hostname.
5243
b975ba52
PH
524460. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5245 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5246 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5247 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5248 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5249 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5250 by change 4.50/55 above.
5251
5252 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5253 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5254 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5255 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5256 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5257 running as the user.
ea3a6f44 5258 CAN-2005-0021
85b87bc2
PH
5259
526061. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5261 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5262 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 5263 CAN-2005-0022
b975ba52 5264
17ffcae7
PH
526562. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
5266 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
5267
d95f9fdb
PH
526863. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5269 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5270 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5271 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5272 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5273
86b8287f
PH
527464. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5275 This has been fixed.
5276
60dc5e56
PH
527765. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5278 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5279 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5280 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5281 the caching.)
5282
533244af
PH
528366. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5284
a5a28604
PH
528567. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5286 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5287 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5288 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5289
7e634d24
PH
529068. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5291 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5292
3e11c26b
PH
529369. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5294 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5295 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5296
6729cf78
PH
529770. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5298 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5299 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5300 message there.
5301
00f00ca5
PH
530271. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5303 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5304 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5305
c9bdd01c
PH
530672. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5307 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5308 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5309 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5310
d43194df
PH
531173. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5312 during host lookups.
5313
fe5b5d0b
PH
531474. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5315 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5316
5317 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5318
76a2d7ba
PH
531975. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5320 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5321 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5322 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5323 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5324 background.
5325
532676. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5327 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5328
04f7d5b9
PH
532977. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5330 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5331 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5332
bc60667e
PH
533378. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5334
bb6e88ff
PH
533579. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5336 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5337 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5338 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5339 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5340 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5341 process earlier.
5342
1e70f85b
PH
534380. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5344 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5345 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5346 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5347 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5348
534981. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5350 tables).
5351

535282. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith.

5363----------------------------------------------------
5364See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5365----------------------------------------------------
5366
5367
5368Exim version 4.44
5369-----------------
5370
5371 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5372 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5373 transport
5374
5375 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5376 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5377 place.
5378
5379 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5380 filter fails to execute.
5381
5382 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5383 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5384 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5385 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5386 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5387
5388 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5389 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5390 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5391 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5392
5393 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5394 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5395 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5396 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5397 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5398
5399 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5400
5401 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5402 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5403 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5404 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5405
5406 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5407 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5408 sender verification.
5409
541010. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5411 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5412
541311. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5414 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5415
541612. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5417 ignore_target_hosts.
5418
541913. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5420 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5421 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5422 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5423 "[x.x.x.x]".
5424
542514. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5426 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5427 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5428
542915. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5430 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5431 wake it up if nothing else does.
5432
543316. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5434 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5435 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5436 end up negative.
5437
543817. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5439 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5440
ea3a6f44 544118. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.

5442
544319. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5444 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5445 empty pattern.
5446
544720. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5448 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5449 one IP address.
5450
ea3a6f44

545121. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5452 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5453 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5454 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5455 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5456 1024 to 2048 bytes.
bbe902f0 5457
ea3a6f44
NM
545822. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5459 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5460 respected.
bbe902f0
PH
5461
546223. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5463 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5464 $sender_host_address.
5465
546624. Updated eximstats to version 1.33
5467
ea3a6f44
NM
546825. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5469 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5470 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
bbe902f0
PH
5471
547226. Expand error message when OpenSSL has problems setting up cert/key files.
ea3a6f44 5473 As per change 25.
bbe902f0 5474
ea3a6f44
NM
547527. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5476 (this can affect the format of dates).
bbe902f0 5477
ea3a6f44
NM
547828. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5479 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5480 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5481 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
bbe902f0
PH
5482
548329. eximstats updated to version 1.35
5484 1.34 - allow eximstats to parse syslog lines as well as mainlog lines
5485 1.35 - bugfix such that pie charts by volume are generated correctly

NM
548730. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5488 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5489 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5490 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
bbe902f0 5491
ea3a6f44
NM
549231. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5493 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5494 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
bbe902f0 5495

549631. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5497 autoreply.
bbe902f0 5498
ea3a6f44
NM
549932. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5500 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5501 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5502 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5503 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5504 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5505 is going on).
bbe902f0 5506
ea3a6f44
NM
550733. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5508 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5509 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5510 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

5511 CAN-2005-0021

ea3a6f44

551334. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5514 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5515 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5516 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5517 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5518 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5519 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5520
5521 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5522 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5523 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5524 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5525 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5526 running as the user.

552935. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5530 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5531 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.

553436. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5535 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5536 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5537 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5538 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
bbe902f0 5539
ea3a6f44
NM
554037. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5541 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5542 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5543 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5544 the caching.)
bbe902f0 5545

554638. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5547 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5548 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5549 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5550 because the tests only now provoked it.

5553Exim version 4.43
5554-----------------
5555
5556 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5557 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5558 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5559 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5560 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5561 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5562 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5563
5564 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5565 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5566 the delivery.
5567
5568 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5569
5570 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5571
5572 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5573 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5574 to local_scan().
5575
5576 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5577 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5578 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5579 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5580 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5581
5582 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5583 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5584
5585 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5586
5587 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5588
558910. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5590 header_sender only.
5591
559211. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5593 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5594
559512. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5596 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5597 affecting debugging statements).
5598
559913. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5600
560114. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5602 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5603 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5604 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5605 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5606 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5607 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5608 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5609 after the received time, and all would be well.
5610
561115. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5612 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5613 condition in an expansion string.
5614
561516. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5616
561717. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5618 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5619 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5620 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5621 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5622 job under whatever limits there are.
5623
562418. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5625
562619. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5627 space).
5628
562920. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5630 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5631 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5632 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5633 return path is set.
5634
563521. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5636 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5637 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5638 binary data in such strings.
5639
564022. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5641
564223. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5643 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5644 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5645 failure, which is pointless.
5646
564724. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5648
564925. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5650
565126. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5652 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5653 Sender: header lines.
5654
565527. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5656 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5657 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5658
565928. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5660 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5661 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5662 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5663 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5664 happens.
5665
566629. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5667 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5668 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5669 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5670 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5671
567230. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5673 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5674 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5675 1024.
5676
567731. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5678 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5679
568032. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5681 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5682
568333. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5684
568532. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5686
568733. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5688
568934. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5690 syntax error.
5691
569235. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5693
569436. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5695
569637. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5697 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5698 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5699 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5700
570138. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5702 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5703
5704
5705Exim version 4.42
5706-----------------
5707
5708 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5709 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5710 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5711 it was not quoted.
5712 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5713 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5714 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5715 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5716 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5717 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5718
5719 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5720 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5721 verification failure".
5722
5723 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5724 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5725 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5726 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5727
5728 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5729 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5730 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5731 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5732 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5733 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5734 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5735 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5736 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5737 treated as a timeout.
5738
5739 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5740 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5741 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5742 not set for Exim filters).
5743
5744 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5745 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5746 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5747
5748 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5749
5750 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5751 try to make them clearer.
5752
5753 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5754 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5755
5756 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5757
5758 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5759
576010. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5761 only the Cygwin environment.
5762
576311. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5764 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5765 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5766 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5767 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5768
576912. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5770 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5771 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5772 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5773 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5774 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5775 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5776
577713. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5778 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5779
578014. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5781
5782 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5783 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5784 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5785
5786 To: susanne@some.where
5787
5788 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5789 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5790 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5791 of addresses in From: header lines).
5792
5793 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5794 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5795 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5796
5797 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5798 treated as non-personal.
5799
5800 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5801 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5802
580315. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5804
580516. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5806
580717. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5808 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5809 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5810
581118. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5812 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5813
581419. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5815 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5816 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5817 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5818 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5819 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5820
582120. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5822 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5823 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5824 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5825 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5826 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5827 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5828 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5829
5830 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5831
583221. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5833 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5834
583522. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5836 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5837 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5838
583923. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5840 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5841
584224. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5843 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5844 rather than long int.
5845
584625. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5847
584826. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5849
5850
5851Exim version 4.41
5852-----------------
5853
5854 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5855 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5856 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5857 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5858 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5859 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5860
5861
5862Exim version 4.40
5863-----------------
5864
5865 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5866 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5867
5868 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5869 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5870 socklen_t is defined.
5871
5872 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5873 always exist.
5874
5875 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5876 configured.
5877
5878 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5879 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5880 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5881 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5882 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5883
5884 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5885 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5886 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5887 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5888
5889 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5890 of flapping under certain conditions.
5891
5892 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5893 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5894 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5895
5896 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5897
589810. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5899
590011. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5901 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5902 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5903 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5904
590512. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5906 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5907 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5908 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5909 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5910 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5911 preserved with the message after it was received.
5912
591313. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5914 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5915 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5916 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5917 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5918 test suite worked just fine.
5919
592014. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5921 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5922 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5923
592415. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5925 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5926 string.
5927
592816. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5929 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5930 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5931 does not fully solve it.
5932
593317. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5934 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5935 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5936 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5937 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5938
593918. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5940 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5941 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5942
594319. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5944 string, for example:
5945
5946 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5947
5948 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5949 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5950 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5951 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5952 the routers could not see them.
5953
595420. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5955 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5956
595721. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5958 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5959 output).
5960
596122. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5962 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5963 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5964 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5965 that needed quoting.
5966
596723. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5968 was not being matched caselessly.
5969
597024. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5971 backslashes.
5972
597325. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5974 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5975 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5976 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5977 when use_sender is false.
5978
597926. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5980
598127. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5982
598328. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5984
598529. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5986 the configuration file.
5987
598830. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5989 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5990
599131. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5992
599332. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5994 bytes in the message body.
5995
599633. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5997 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5998 delivery.
5999
600034. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
6001
600235. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
6003
600436. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
6005 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
6006 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
6007 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
6008 another IP address.
6009
6010
6011Exim version 4.34
6012-----------------
6013
6014 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
6015 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
6016
6017 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
6018 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
6019 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
6020 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
6021 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
6022
6023 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
6024 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
6025
6026 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
6027 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
6028 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
6029
6030 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
6031 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
6032 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
6033
6034 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
6035 for routers.
6036
6037 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
6038 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
6039 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
6040 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
6041 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
6042 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
6043 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
6044
6045
6046Exim version 4.33
6047-----------------
6048
6049 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
6050 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
6051 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
6052 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
6053 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
6054 default (and expected) setting.
6055
6056 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
6057 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
6058 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
6059 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
6060
6061 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
6062 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
6063
6064 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
6065 in domain lists.
6066
6067 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
6068 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
6069 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
6070 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
6071 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
6072 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
6073
6074 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
6075 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
6076 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
6077
6078 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
6079 part (NOT match_host).
6080
6081 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
6082
6083 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
6084 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
6085 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
6086 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
6087 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
6088 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
6089 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
6090 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
6091 the same named file.
6092
609310. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
6094 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
6095 when Exim is built.
6096
609711. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
6098 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
6099 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
6100 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
6101 a host name.
6102
610312. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
6104 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
6105 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
6106
610713. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
6108
610914. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
6110
611115. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
6112
611316. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
6114 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
6115
611617. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
6117 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
6118 before starting the TLS session.
6119
612018. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
6121
612219. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
6123 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
6124
612520. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
6126 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
6127 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
6128 colon in the middle).
6129
6130
6131Exim version 4.32
6132-----------------
6133
6134 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
6135 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
6136 multiple configurations are in use.
6137
6138 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
6139 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6140 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6141 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6142 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6143 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6144
6145 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6146 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6147
6148 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6149 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6150 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6151
6152 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6153 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6154 occurs.
6155
6156 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6157 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6158
6159 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6160
6161 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6162 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6163
6164 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6165
6166 -prval:sval
6167
6168 is equivalent to
6169
6170 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6171
6172 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6173 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6174 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6175 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6176 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6177
617810. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6179 Exim's behaviour:
6180
6181 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6182 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6183 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6184 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6185 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6186 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6187
6188 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6189 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6190 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6191 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6192 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6193 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6194 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6195 string.
6196
6197 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6198 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6199 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6200 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6201 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6202
620311. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6204
620512. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6206 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6207 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6208
620913. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6210
621114. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6212 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6213 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6214 information.
6215
621615. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6217 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6218
621916. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6220 Three changes have been made:
6221
6222 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6223 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6224 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6225 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6226 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6227
6228 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6229 been restored.
6230
6231 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6232 the modified behaviour.
6233
6234
6235Exim version 4.31
6236-----------------
6237
6238 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6239 Larry Rosenman.
6240
6241 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6242 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6243
6244 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6245 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6246 try to track down a specific problem.
6247
6248 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6249 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6250 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6251
6252 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6253 warning.
6254
6255 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6256 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6257 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6258 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6259 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6260 some earlier ones do not.
6261
6262 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6263
6264 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6265 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6266 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6267 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6268 address literals are enabled, of course).
6269
6270 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6271
627210. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6273 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6274 by a command such as
6275
6276 exim -f "" ...
6277
6278 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6279
628011. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6281
628212. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6283 remained set. It is now erased.
6284
628513. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6286 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6287
628814. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6289 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6290 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6291 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6292 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6293 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6294 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6295 appropriate error code.
6296
629715. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6298 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6299 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6300 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6301 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6302 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6303
630416. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6305 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6306 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6307
630817. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6309 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6310 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6311 terminate the header.
6312
631318. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6314 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6315 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6316
631719. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6318 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6319 (4.30/29). In particular:
6320
6321 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6322 imposed.
6323
6324 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6325 to write a maildirsize file.
6326
6327 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6328 the transport, the new value overrides.
6329
6330 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6331 count.
6332
633320. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6334 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6335 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6336 space or a tab.
6337
633821. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6339 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6340 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6341 the fallback hosts.
6342
634322. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6344 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6345 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6346
634723. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6348 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6349 using a union.
6350
635124. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6352 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6353 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6354
635525. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6356
635726. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6358
635927. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6360
636128. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6362 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6363 become corrupted.
6364
636529. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6366 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6367 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6368 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6369 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6370 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6371 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6372 too great.
6373
637430. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6375 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6376 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6377 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6378 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6379 incorrectly.
6380
638131. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6382 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6383 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6384 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6385 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6386 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6387 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6388 cached value only when the same options are set.
6389
639032. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6391
639233. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6393 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6394 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6395 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6396 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6397
639834: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6399 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6400 it is clearly obsolete.
6401
640235. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6403 transport.
6404
640536. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6406 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6407 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6408 times.
6409
641037. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6411 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6412 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6413 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6414 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6415
641638. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6417 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6418 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6419 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6420
642139. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6422
6423 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6424
6425 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6426 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6427 2^31.
6428
642940. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6430 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6431 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6432 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6433 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6434 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6435 $localpart_data.
6436
643741. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6438 with the -f command-line option.
6439
644042. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6441 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6442 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6443 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6444 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6445 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6446
644743. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6448 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6449 line.
6450
645144. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6452 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6453 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6454 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6455 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6456 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6457 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6458 buffer is too small.
6459
646045. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6461 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6462
646346. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6464 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6465 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6466 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6467 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6468 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6469 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6470 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6471 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6472
647347. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6474 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6475 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6476
647748. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6478 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6479 ACL").
6480
648149. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6482 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6483 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6484 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6485 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6486
648750. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6488 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6489 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6490 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6491 is set.
6492
649351. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6494
649552. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6496
649753. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6498 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6499
650054. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6501 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6502 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6503
650455. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6505 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6506 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6507 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6508 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6509
651056. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6511 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6512 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6513 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6514 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6515 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6516 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6517
651857. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6519 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6520 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6521 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6522 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6523 the test of how many are available.
6524
652558. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6526 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6527 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6528 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6529 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6530 new message is started.
6531
653259. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6533 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6534
653560. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6536 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6537
653861. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6539 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6540 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6541 is no long logged.
6542
654362. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6544 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6545 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6546 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6547 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6548 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6549 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6550
655163. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6552 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6553 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6554 interpreted as octal.
6555
655664. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6557 setting.
6558
655965. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6560 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6561 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6562 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6563 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6564 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6565
656666. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6567 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6568 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6569 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6570
6571 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6572 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6573 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6574 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6575
6576 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6577 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6578 is a bug fix.
6579
6580 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6581 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6582
658367. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6584
658568. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6586 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6587 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6588 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6589
659069. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6591 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6592 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6593 supplied", which is not helpful.
6594
659570. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6596 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6597 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6598
659971. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6600 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6601 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6602 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6603 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6604 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6605 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6606 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6607
660872. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6609 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6610 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6611 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6612 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6613
661473. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6615 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6616 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6617 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6618 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6619 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6620
662174. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6622 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6623 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6624
662575. Added write_rejectlog option.
6626
662776. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6628 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6629 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6630 variables.
6631
663277. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6633
663478. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6635 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6636 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6637 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6638 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6639 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6640 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6641 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6642
664379. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6644 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6645 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6646 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6647 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6648
664980. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6650 Haardt.
6651
665281. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6653 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6654 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6655 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6656 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6657 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6658 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6659 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6660 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6661
6662
6663Exim version 4.30
6664-----------------
6665
6666 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6667 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6668 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6669
6670 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6671 fixed.
6672
6673 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6674 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6675 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6676
6677 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6678 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6679 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6680 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6681 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6682 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6683
6684 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6685 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6686 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6687 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6688 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6689 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6690 the Exim test suite.
6691
6692 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6693 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6694 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6695 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6696
6697 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6698 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6699 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6700 specify it in this variable.
6701
6702 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6703 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6704 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6705 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6706
6707 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6708 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6709 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6710 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6711
6712 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6713 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6714 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6715 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6716 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6717
6718 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6719
672010. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6721 they are logged.
6722
672311. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6724 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6725 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6726 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6727 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6728
672912. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6730 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6731
673213. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6733 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6734 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6735 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6736 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6737
673814. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6739 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6740
674115. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6742 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6743 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6744
674516. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6746 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6747
674817. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6749 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6750
675118. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6752 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6753 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6754
675519. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6756 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6757
675820. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6759 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6760 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6761 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6762
676321. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6764
676522. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6766 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6767 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6768 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6769
677023. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6771
677224. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6773 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6774
677525. Added .include_if_exists.
6776
677726. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6778 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6779 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6780 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6781 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6782 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6783
678427. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6785
678628. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6787 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6788 this.
6789
679029. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6791
679230. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6793 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6794
6795 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6796 550 Sender verify failed
6797
6798 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6799 the final line of the response.
6800
680131. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6802 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6803 all other user lookups.
6804
680532. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6806 delivery time.
6807
680833. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6809 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6810 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6811 result into an int without checking.
6812
681334. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6814 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6815 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6816
681735. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6818 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6819 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6820 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6821
682236. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6823 correctly.
6824
682537. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6826 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6827
682838. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6829 to the empty sender.
6830
683139. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6832 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6833 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6834 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6835 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6836 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6837 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6838 panic log.
6839
684040. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6841 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6842 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6843 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6844 used.
6845
684641. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6847 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6848
684942. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6850 timestamps.
6851
685243. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6853 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6854
685544. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6856
685745. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6858 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6859 logs.
6860
686146. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6862 as soon as it is encountered.
6863
686447. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6865
686648. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6867 rewritten to "<>".
6868
686949. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6870 recognizes a tab character.
6871
687250. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6873 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6874 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6875 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6876
687751. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6878
687952. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6880 crash.
6881
688253. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6883
688454. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6885
688655. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6887 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6888 2822.
6889
689056. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6891 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6892 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6893 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6894 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6895
689657. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6897 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6898
689958. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6900 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6901 list (.included file names were always shown).
6902
690359. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6904 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6905 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6906 root at that time.
6907
690860. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6909 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6910
691161. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6912
691362. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6914
691563. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6916
691764. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6918 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6919 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6920 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6921 failures to open the logs.
6922
692365. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6924 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6925 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6926 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6927 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6928 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6929 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6930
6931
6932Exim version 4.24
6933-----------------
6934
6935 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6936 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6937 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6938 change 4.23/1.
6939
6940 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6941 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6942 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6943
6944 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6945 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6946 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6947
6948 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6949 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6950 causing some misleading effects.
6951
6952 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6953 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6954 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6955
6956 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6957 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6958 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6959 queue-runner function directly.
6960
6961
6962Exim version 4.23
6963-----------------
6964
6965 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6966 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6967
6968 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6969 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6970 was always written to the default place.
6971
6972 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6973 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6974 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6975
6976 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6977
6978 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6979
6980 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6981 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6982 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6983
6984 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6985 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6986 must start.
6987
6988 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6989 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6990 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6991
6992 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6993 command line option is disabled.
6994
6995 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6996 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6997
6998 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6999
7000 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
7001
7002 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
7003 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
7004
700510. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
7006
700711. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
7008 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
7009 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
7010 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
7011 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
7012 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
7013
701412. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
7015 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
7016 timeout.
7017
701813. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
7019 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
7020
702114. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
7022 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
7023
702415. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
7025 received was valid base64.
7026
702716. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
7028 name of the variable that was being set.
7029
703017. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
7031
703218. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
7033 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
7034 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
7035 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
7036 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
7037 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
7038
703919. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
7040
704120. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
7042 nor realm was specified.
7043
704421. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
7045 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
7046 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
7047 errors are given to SMTP connections.
7048
704922. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
7050 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
7051 failing to send a response to QUIT.
7052
705323. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
7054 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
7055 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
7056
705724. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
7058 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
7059 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
7060 some systems use these upper case variants.
7061
706225. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
7063 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
7064 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
7065 socket" when it tried to send the third.
7066
706726. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
7068
706927. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
7070 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
7071
707228. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
7073 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
7074 expansion variable.
7075
707629. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
7077
707830. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
7079 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
7080 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
7081 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
7082
708331. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
7084 using it.
7085
708632. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
7087 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
7088 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
7089
709033. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
7091 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
7092
709334. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
7094 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
7095 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
7096 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
7097
709835. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
7099 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
7100 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
7101
710236. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
7103
710437. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
7105 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
7106 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
7107 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
7108 aborted.
7109
711038. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
7111 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
7112 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
7113
711439. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
7115
711640. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
7117 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
7118
711941. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
7120 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
7121
712242. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
7123 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
7124 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
7125 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
7126 when emails are that large.
7127
7128
7129
7130Exim version 4.22
7131-----------------
7132
7133 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
7134 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
7135
7136 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
7137 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
7138 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
7139
7140 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7141 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7142 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7143
7144 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7145 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7146 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7147 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7148 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7149
7150 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7151 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7152 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7153 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7154 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7155 ever.
7156
7157 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7158 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7159 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7160 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7161 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7162 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7163 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7164 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7165 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7166 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7167 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7168 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7169 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7170 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7171
7172 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7173 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7174 parameterised it.
7175
7176 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7177 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7178 error should be diagnosed.
7179
7180 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7181 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7182 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7183 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7184 appeared instead of "NULL".
7185
718610. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7187 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7188 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7189 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7190 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7191 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7192 proceeds).
7193
7194 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7195 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7196 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7197
7198
7199Exim version 4.21
7200-----------------
7201
7202 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7203 or receiver verification errors.
7204
7205 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7206 name.
7207
7208 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7209 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7210 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7211 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7212
7213 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7214 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7215 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7216 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7217 shouldn't happen again.
7218
7219 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7220 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7221 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7222
7223 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7224 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7225
7226 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7227
7228 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7229 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7230
7231 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7232 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7233 RFC.
7234
723510. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7236 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7237 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7238
723911. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7240 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7241 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7242 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7243
724412. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7245 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7246 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7247 to define what should happen).
7248
724913. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7250 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7251 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7252
725314. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7254
725515. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7256
725716. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7258 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7259
4c04137d 726017. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7261 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7262 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7263 structure in all cases.
7264
7265 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7266 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7267 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7268 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7269
727018. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7271 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7272 domain name.
7273
727419. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7275 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7276
727720. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7278 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7279
728021. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7281 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7282 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7283
728422. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7285 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7286 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7287
728823. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7289 the book and for uniformity.
7290
729124. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7292
729325. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7294 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7295 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7296 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7297 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7298 non-existent command as the problem.
7299
730026. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7301 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7302 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7303
730427. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7305
730628. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7307 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7308 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7309
731029. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7311 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7312 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7313 timestamps using strftime().
7314
731530. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7316 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7317
731832. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7319 transport-time rewrites.
7320
732133. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7322 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7323 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7324 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7325
732634. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7327 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7328
732935. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7330 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7331 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7332 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7333 comma and a space.
7334
733536. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7336 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7337 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7338 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7339 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7340 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7341 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7342
734337. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7344 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7345 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7346 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7347 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7348
734938. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7350 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7351 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7352 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7353 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7354 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7355 remaining text gets split now.
7356
735739. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7358 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7359 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7360 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7361
736240. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7363 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7364 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7365 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7366 $return_path.
7367
736841. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7369 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7370 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7371 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7372 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7373 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7374 passed through if needed.
7375
737642. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7377 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7378 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7379 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7380 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7381 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7382
738343. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7384 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7385 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7386 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7387 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7388
738944. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7390 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7391 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7392 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7393 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7394
739545. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7396 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7397 noticed.
7398
739946. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7400 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7401 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7402 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7403 mayhem of various kinds.
7404
740547. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7406 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7407 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7408 the right test for positive values.
7409
741048. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7411 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7412 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7413 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7414 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7415 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7416 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7417 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7418 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7419 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7420 envelope.
7421
742249. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7423 module.
7424
742550. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7426 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7427 forbidding it.
7428
742951. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7430 the existing equality matching.
7431
743252. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7433 dealing with inode numbers.
7434
743553. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7436 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7437 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7438
743954. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7440 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7441 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7442 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7443 local_scan().
7444
744555. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7446 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7447 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7448 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7449 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7450 relay addresses has also been removed.
7451
745256. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7453
745457. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7455 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7456 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7457
745858. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7459 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7460 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7461 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7462 processing applies to CR:
7463
7464 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7465 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7466
7467 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7468 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7469 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7470 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7471
747259. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7473 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7474 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7475
747660. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7477 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7478 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7479 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7480 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7481 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7482 arisen.
7483
748461. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7485 program routers.
7486
748762. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7488 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7489 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7490 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7491 adds:
7492
7493 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7494
7495 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7496
7497 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7498
749963. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7500 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7501 not considered personal.
7502
750364. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7504
750565. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7506
750766. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7508
750967. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7510 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7511 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7512 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7513 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7514 header lines, and spool format errors.
7515
751668. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7517 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7518 for more flexibility.
7519
752069. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7521 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7522 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7523
752470. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7525 Sabourenkov.
7526
752771. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7528 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7529 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7530 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7531 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7532 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7533 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7534 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7535 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7536
753772. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7538 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7539 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7540 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7541 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7542 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7543 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7544
754573. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7546 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7547 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7548
754974. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7550 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7551 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7552 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7553 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7554 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7555 instead of killing the process with assert().
7556
755775. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7558 than Unicode encoding.
7559
756076. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7561 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7562 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7563 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7564
756577. Added process_log_path.
7566
756778. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7568 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7569
757079. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7571 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7572
757380. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7574 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7575 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7576
757781. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7578 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7579 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7580 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7581 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7582 were applied:
7583
7584 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7585 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7586 as invalid.
7587
758882. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7589 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7590 they will be used during message reception.
7591
