6-----------------
7TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
8 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
9 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
10 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
11 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
12 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
13 the script parsing/test process like normal.

56-----------------
57
58TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
59
60 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
61 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
62 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
63 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
64 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
65 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

311TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
312
313 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
314 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
315 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
316 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
317 the retry rules.
318
319 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
320 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
321 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
322
323 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
324 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
325 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
326 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
327
1ddeb334
TF
328 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
329 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
330 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
331 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
332 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
333 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
334 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
335
336 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
337 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

344
345 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
346 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
347 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
348 username as equal to the username.

371JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
372 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
373 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
374 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
375 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
376 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
377 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
378 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
379 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
380 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
381 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

659TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
660 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
661 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
662
663 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
664 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
665 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
666 not safe for signals.
667
668 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
669 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
670 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
671 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
672 exiwhat.
673
c99ce5c9
TF
674TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
675
676 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
677 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
678 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
679 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
680 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
681
682 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
683 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
684 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
685 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
686 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
687 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
688
689 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
690 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
691 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
692 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
693
694 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
695 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
696 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
697 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
698
699 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
700 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
701 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
702 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
703 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
704 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
705 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
706 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
707 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
708
709 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
710 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
711 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
712 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
713
714 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
715 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
716 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
717 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
718 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
719 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
720 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
721 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
722 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
723 details in the main documentation.

1273 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1274 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1276 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering

1293-----------------
1294
1295PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1296
6a3bceb1
PH
1297PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1298 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1299 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1300 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1301 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1302 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1303 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1304 for iplsearch lookups.
1305
1306 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1307 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1308 previously such lookups could never work.
1309
1310 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1311 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1312 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1317MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1318 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1319 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1320 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1321 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1322 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1327MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1328 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1329 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1330 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1331 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1332 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1409 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than

1515PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1516 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
1517 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
1518 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1519 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1520 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1521 pipelining has not been advertised.

1536 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
1537 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

1539 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

1571 calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
1572 uses the Exim user.

1574PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a
1575 message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad
1576 sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
1577 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
1578 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
1579 intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their
1580 users.

58eb016e 1594PH/44 I found a way to check for a TCP/IP connection going away before sending

PH
1595 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1596 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1597 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1598 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1599 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1600 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1601 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1602 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1610Exim version 4.66
1611-----------------
1612
1613PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
1614 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1615
1616 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1617 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1618
1619 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1620 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1621 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1622
1623 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1624 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1625 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1626 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1627 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1641PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
1642 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
1643 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
1644 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
1645 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
1646 rather than extend the field.

1652TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
1653 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).

1661
1662TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
1663 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,

1669 in the field name.

2b1c6e3a
PH
1671PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1672 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1673 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1674 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1675 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1676 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1677 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1678 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1679 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1680 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1681 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

1715PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

1717 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
1718 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
1719 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
1720 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
1721 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
1722 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 1725 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
1726 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
1727 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
1728 function.
1729 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
1730 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
1731 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
1732 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
1733 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
1734 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
1735 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
1736 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
1737 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

1743 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
1744 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
1745 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
1746 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
1747 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
1748 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
1749 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

1754
322050c2
PH
1755PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
1756 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
1757 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
1758 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
1759 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
1760 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
1761 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
1762 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
1763 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
1764 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
1765 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
1766 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
1767 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

1769PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
1770 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
1771 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
1772 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
1773 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
1774 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
1775 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

1777PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
1778 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
1779 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
1780 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
1781 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
1782 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
1783 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
1784 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
1785 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
1786 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
1788PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
1789 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
1790 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
1791 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
1792 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
1794PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
1795 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
1796 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
1797 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
1798 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
1799 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
1800 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

PH
1802PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
1803 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
1804 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
1805 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
1806 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
1807 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
1808 been verified.

1839
1840PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
1841 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
1842 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
1843 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
1844 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
1845 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
1846 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
1847 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
1848 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
1849
1850 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
1851 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
1852 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
1853 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
1854 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
1855 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
1856 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
1857 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
1858 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
1859
1860 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
1861 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
1862 hammering the server.

1877PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
1878 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
1879 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
1880 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
1881 fails.
1882
48c7f9e2
PH
1883PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
1884 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
1885 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
1886 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
1887 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
1888 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
1889 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
1890 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
1891 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
1892 smtp transport.

2160PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".

2162 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2163 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2164 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2165 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2166 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2167 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2168 451 error is used.

2204PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD

2206 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2207 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2208 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2209 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2210 addresses as local.

2253 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
2254 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that

2276 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2277 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2278 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
2279

2282 the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.

2288 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2289 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2290 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2291 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2292 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2293 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2294 values from the SRV records were lost.

2296PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

727071f8
PH
2304PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2305 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2306 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2307 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2308 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2309 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2310 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2311 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2312 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2409PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2410 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2411 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2412 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2413 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2414 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2415 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2416 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2417 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2418 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

2430 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as

2453PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
2454 used in LMTP mode:
2455
2456 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2457 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2458 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2459 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2460
2461 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2462 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2463 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2464
2465PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2466 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2467 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2468 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

2539PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2540 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2541 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2542 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2543 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2544 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2545 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2546 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2547 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2548 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2549 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2573 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty

2575
2576 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2577 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2578 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2579 silly things.

2606 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2607 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2608 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2609 identical. For example:
2610
2611 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2612
2613 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2614 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2615 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2707 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
2708 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
2709 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
2710 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
2711 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of

3010 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
3011 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
3012 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
3013 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,

3021 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

3151 picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem

3157PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
3158 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
3159 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
3160 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
3161 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
3162 introduced by 4.51/PH/31.

3172PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
3173 aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
3174 don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
3175 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
3176 record types that Exim uses.

3178PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
3179 not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
3180 prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
3181 data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
3182 non-existent file that was broken.

3196 spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This
3197 is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the
3198 same time.

3229
3230PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
3231 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
3232 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3233 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3234 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3235 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3236 file.
3237
3238PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3239 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3240 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3241 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3242 these two options.
3243
3244PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3245 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3246 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3247 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3248 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3249 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3250 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3251 address.

PH
3252
3253PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
3254 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
3255
3256PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3257 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3258 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3259 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3260 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3261 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
3262
3263PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
3264 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH

3266 SMTP commands that take arguments.

3313PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
3314 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
3315 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
3316 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3317 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
3318 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
3319 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
3320 for failure.

3322PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing

3324 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
3325 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
3326 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
3327 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.

3338
c5ddb310
PH
3339PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
3340 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
3341 understands it better than I do:
3342
3343 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
3344 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
3345
3346 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
3347 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
3348 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
3349 => three warnings about OTP not working
3350 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
3351
3352 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
3353 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
3354 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
3355 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
3356 for each call.)
3357 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
3358 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
