4Exim version 4.88
5-----------------

JH
6JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination
7 supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one).
8d042305 8
03d5892b
JH
9JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten
10 years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs
11 acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime.
12
4b0fe319
JH
13JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
14 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
15 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
16 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
17 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
18 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
19 if one fails this test.
20 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
21 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.
22

JH
23JH/04 Bug 1810: make continued-use of an open smtp transport connection
24 non-noisy when a race steals the message being considered.
25
23bb6982
JH
26JH/05 If main configuration option tls_certificate is unset, generate a
27 selfsigned certificate for inbound TLS connections.
28
0bd1b1ed 29JH/06 Bug 165: hide more cases of password exposure - this time in expansions
f42deca9 30 in rewrites and routers.
0bd1b1ed 31
20b9a2dc
JH
32JH/07 Retire gnutls_require_mac et.al. These were nonfunctional since 4.80
33 and logged a warning sing 4.83; now they are a configuration file error.
34
05392bbc
JH
35JH/08 Bug 1836: Fix crash in VRFY handling when handed an unqualified name
36 (lacking @domain). Apply the same qualification processing as RCPT.
37
1a6230a3
JH
38JH/09 Bug 1804: Avoid writing msglog files when in -bh or -bhc mode.
39
cfab9d68
JH
40JH/10 Support ${sha256:} applied to a string (as well as the previous
41 certificate).
42
98c82a3d
JH
43JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when
44 a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection.
45 This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough
46 connection after a verify cache hit.
47 Do not update it with the verify result either.
48
49JH/12 Cutthrough: disable when verify option success_on_redirect is used, and
50 when routing results in more than one destination address.
51
ae8386f0
JH
52JH/13 Cutthrough: expand transport dkim_domain option when testing for dkim
53 signing (which inhibits the cutthrough capability). Previously only
54 the presence of an option was tested; now an expansion evaluating as
55 empty is permissible (obviously it should depend only on data available
56 when the cutthrough connection is made).
57
0d9fa8c0
JH
58JH/14 Fix logging of errors under PIPELINING. Previously the log line giving
59 the relevant preceding SMTP command did not note the pipelining mode.
60
3581f321
JH
61JH/15 Fix counting of empty lines in $body_linecount and $message_linecount.
62 Previously they were not counted.
63
ef3a1a30
JH
64JH/16 DANE: treat a TLSA lookup response having all non-TLSA RRs, the same
65 as one having no matching records. Previously we deferred the message
66 that needed the lookup.
67
803628d5 68JH/17 Fakereject: previously logged as a norml message arrival "<="; now
27b9e5f4
JH
69 distinguished as "(=".
70
1435d4b2
JH
71JH/18 Bug 1867: make the fail_defer_domains option on a dnslookup router work
72 for missing MX records. Previously it only worked for missing A records.
73
eea0defe
JB
74JH/19 Bug 1850: support Radius libraries that return REJECT_RC.
75
76JH/20 Bug 1872: Ensure that acl_smtp_notquit is run when the connection drops
77 after the data-go-ahead and data-ack. Patch from Jason Betts.

79JH/21 Bug 1846: Send DMARC forensic reports for reject and quaratine results,
80 even for a "none" policy. Patch from Tony Meyer.
81
1c788856
JH
82JH/22 Fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries. If a port was
83 specified by a router, it must also match for the delivery to be
84 compatible.
85
e3b1f624
JH
86JH/23 Bug 1874: fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries.
87 When one of the recipients of a message was unsuitable for the connection
88 (has no matching addresses), we lost track of needing to mark it
89 deferred. As a result mail would be lost.
90
a57ce043
JH
91JH/24 Bug 1832: Log EHLO response on getting conn-close response for HELO.
92
d7bed771 93JH/25 Decoding ACL controls is now done using a binary search; the sourcecode
2d009132
JH
94 takes up less space and should be simpler to maintain. Merge the ACL
95 condition decode tables also, with similar effect.
d7bed771 96
d1f9fb42
JH
97JH/26 Fix problem with one_time used on a redirect router which returned the
98 parent address unchanged. A retry would see the parent address marked as
99 delivered, so not attempt the (identical) child. As a result mail would
100 be lost.
101
92b0827a
JH
102JH/27 Fix a possible security hole, wherein a process operating with the Exim
103 UID can gain a root shell. Credit to http://www.halfdog.net/ for
104 discovery and writeup. Ubuntu bug 1580454; no bug raised against Exim
105 itself :(
106
ddf1b11a
JH
107JH/28 Enable {spool,log} filesystem space and inode checks as default.
108 Main config options check_{log,spool}_{inodes,space} are now
109 100 inodes, 10MB unless set otherwise in the configuration.
110
3cc3f762
JH
111JH/29 Fix the connection_reject log selector to apply to the connect ACL.
112 Previously it only applied to the main-section connection policy
113 options.
114

118Exim version 4.87
119-----------------
82d14d6a
JH
120JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16
121 and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request
122 it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
123 client dropping the TLS connection.
0d9b78be 124
6c6d6e48
TF
125TF/01 Code cleanup: Overhaul the debug_selector and log_selector machinery to
126 support variable-length bit vectors. No functional change.
127
ac881e27
TF
128TF/02 Improve the consistency of logging incoming and outgoing interfaces.
129 The I= interface field on outgoing lines is now after the H= remote
130 host field, same as incoming lines. There is a separate
131 outgoing_interface log selector which allows you to disable the
132 outgoing I= field.
133
c8899c20
JH
134JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
135 If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
136 open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
137 deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
138 leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
139 check on the next write.
140
f1b81d81
HSHR
141HS/01 Bug 1671: Fix post transport crash.
142 Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
143 process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
144 using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
145 file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.
146
f38917cc
JH
147JH/03 Bug 425: Capture substrings in $regex1, $regex2 etc from regex &
148 mime_regex ACL conditions.
149
895fbaf2
JH
150JH/04 Bug 1686: When compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO: Add extra information
151 to DSN fail messages (bounces): remote IP, remote greeting, remote response
152 to HELO, local diagnostic string.
153
805bb5c3
JH
154JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from
155 log line to debug. Even when configured with a tls authenticator many
156 client connections are expected to not authenticate in this way, so
157 an authenticate fail is not an error.
158
56c2a7be
HSHR
159HS/02 Add the Exim version string to the process info. This way exiwhat
160 gives some more detail about the running daemon.
161
14b3c5bc
JH
162JH/06 Bug 1395: time-limit cacheing of DNS lookups, to the TTL value. This may
163 matter for fast-change records such as DNSBLs.
164
6f6dedcc
JH
165JH/07 Bug 1678: Always record an interface option value, if set, as part of a
166 retry record, even if constant. There may be multiple transports with
167 different interface settings and the retry behaviour needs to be kept
168 distinct.
169
0f557e90
JH
170JH/08 Bug 1586: exiqgrep now refuses to run if there are unexpected arguments.
171
172JH/09 Bug 1700: ignore space & tab embedded in base64 during decode.
173
ec0eb1a3
JH
174JH/10 Bug 840: fix log_defer_output option of pipe transport
175
41e93589
JH
176JH/11 Bug 830: use same host for all RCPTS of a message, even under
177 hosts_randomize. This matters a lot when combined with mua_wrapper.
178
98b98887 179JH/12 Bug 1706: percent and underbar characters are no longer escaped by the
376d2ec0
JH
180 ${quote_pgsql:<string>} operator.
181
98b98887
JH
182JH/13 Bug 1708: avoid misaligned access in cached lookup.
183
858e91c2
JH
184JH/14 Change header file name for freeradius-client. Relevant if compiling
185 with Radius support; from the Gentoo tree and checked under Fedora.
186
187JH/15 Bug 1712: Introduce $prdr_requested flag variable
188
6ff55e50
JH
189JH/16 Bug 1714: Permit an empty string as expansion result for transport
190 option transport_filter, meaning no filtering.

JB
192JH/17 Bug 1713: Fix non-PDKIM_DEBUG build. Patch from Jasen Betts.
193
23f3dc67
JH
194JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
195 defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built
196 with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testuite sane.
197 If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
198 logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably
199 they will retry in-clear.
200 Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
201 at installation time.
202
240c288f
JH
203HS/03 Add -bP config_file as a synonym for -bP configure_file, for consistency
204 with the $config_file variable.
205
5ef5dd52
JB
206JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
207 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
208 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
209 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
210 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx reponse.
211
e161710d
GF
212GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
213 to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
214 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
215 installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
216 result is that the running daemon panics and dies.
217

JH
218JH/20 Bug 1701: For MySQL lookups, support MySQL config file option group names.
219
7f06582c
JH
220JH/21 Bug 1720: Add support for priority groups and weighted-random proxy
221 selection for the EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS feature, via new per-proxy options
222 "pri" and "weight". Note that the previous implicit priority given by the
223 list order is no longer honoured.

226 for DKIM processing.

228JH/23 Move SOCKS5 support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
229 by defining SUPPORT_SOCKS.
74f150bf 230
cee5f132
JH
231JH/26 Move PROXY support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
232 by defining SUPPORT_PROXY. Note that the proxy_required_hosts option
e6d2a989
JH
233 is renamed to hosts_proxy, and the proxy_{host,target}_{address,port}.
234 variables are renamed to proxy_{local,external}_{address,port}.
cee5f132 235
8c5d388a

236JH/27 Move Internationalisation support from Experimental to mainline, enabled
237 for a build by defining SUPPORT_I18N
238
2d8d625b
JH
239JH/28 Bug 1745: Fix redis lookups to handle (quoted) spaces embedded in parts
240 of the query string, and make ${quote_redis:} do that quoting.
241
0cbf2b82
JH
242JH/29 Move Events support from Experimental to mainline, enabled by default
243 and removable for a build by defining DISABLE_EVENT.

248 cached by the daemon.
249
de78e2d5
JH
250JH/32 Move Redis support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
251 by defining LOOKUP_REDIS. The libhiredis library is required.
252
379ba7d0
JH
253JH/33 Bug 1748: Permit ACL dnslists= condition in non-smtp ACLs if explicit
254 keys are given for lookup.
255
f444c2c7
JH
256JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM
257 support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones. This means DKIM is
07c73177
JH
258 only supported when built with TLS support. The PolarSSL SHA routines
259 are still used when the TLS library is too old for convenient support.
f444c2c7 260
a57b6200
JH
261JH/35 Require SINGLE_DH_USE by default in OpenSSL (main config option
262 openssl_options), for security. OpenSSL forces this from version 1.1.0
263 server-side so match that on older versions.
264
07c73177 265JH/36 Bug 1778: longstanding bug in memory use by the ${run } expansion: A fresh
fa01e4f8 266 allocation for $value could be released as the expansion processing
07c73177 267 concluded, but leaving the global pointer active for it.
fa01e4f8 268
4f6ae5c3
JH
269JH/37 Bug 1769: Permit a VRFY ACL to override the default 252 response,
270 and to use the domains and local_parts ACL conditions.
271
1bc460a6
JH
272JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was
273 incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a
274 body-termination at the receiving system - resulting in truncated mails.
62ac2eb7 275 Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message
1bc460a6
JH
276 via the normal store-and-forward channel. This could result in duplicates
277 received - but deduplicating mailstores were liable to retain only the
278 initial truncated version.
279
ab9152ff 280JH/39 Bug 1781: Fix use of DKIM private-keys having trailing '=' in the base-64.

JH
284JH/41 Bug 1792: Fix selection of headers to sign for DKIM: bottom-up. While
285 we're in there, support oversigning also; bug 1309.

af483912
JH
287JH/42 Bug 1796: Fix error logged on a malware scanner connection failure.
288
bc3c7bb7 289HS/04 Add support for keep_environment and add_environment options.
df3def24 290
13559da6
JH
291JH/43 Tidy coding issues detected by gcc --fsanitize=undefined. Some remain;
292 either intentional arithmetic overflow during PRNG, or testing config-
293 induced overflows.
294
59eaad2b
JH
295JH/44 Bug 1800: The combination of a -bhc commandline option and cutthrough
296 delivery resulted in actual delivery. Cancel cutthrough before DATA
297 stage.
298
f9334a28
JH
299JH/45 Fix cutthrough, when connection not opened by verify and target hard-
300 rejects a recipient: pass the reject to the originator.
301
dc8091e7
JH
302JH/46 Multiple issues raised by Coverity. Some were obvious or plausible bugs.
303 Many were false-positives and ignorable, but it's worth fixing the
304 former class.
305
dfe7d917
JH
306JH/47 Fix build on HP-UX and older Solaris, which need (un)setenv now also
307 for the new environment-manipulation done at startup. Move the routines
308 from being local to tls.c to being global via the os.c file.
309
93cc2d6e
JH
310JH/48 Bug 1807: Fix ${extract } for the numeric/3-string case. While preparsing
311 an extract embedded as result-arg for a map, the first arg for extract
312 is unavailable so we cannot tell if this is a numbered or keyed
313 extraction. Accept either.

322JH/02 The smtp transport option "multi_domain" is now expanded.
323
ad07e9ad
JH
324JH/03 The smtp transport now requests PRDR by default, if the server offers
325 it.
326
01a4a5c5 327JH/04 Certificate name checking on server certificates, when exim is a client,
b3ef41c9 328 is now done by default. The transport option tls_verify_cert_hostnames
01a4a5c5
JH
329 can be used to disable this per-host. The build option
330 EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES is withdrawn.
331
cb1d7830 332JH/05 The value of the tls_verify_certificates smtp transport and main options
0e0f3f56 333 default to the word "system" to access the system default CA bundle.

JH
334 For GnuTLS, only version 3.0.20 or later.
335
610ff438 336JH/06 Verification of the server certificate for a TLS connection is now tried
6d580f19
JH
337 (but not required) by default. The verification status is now logged by
338 default, for both outbound TLS and client-certificate supplying inbound
339 TLS connections
610ff438 340
f926e272
JH
341JH/07 Changed the default rfc1413 lookup settings to disable calls. Few
342 sites use this now.
343
50dc7409
JH
344JH/08 The EXPERIMENTAL_DSN compile option is no longer needed; all Delivery
345 Status Notification (bounce) messages are now MIME format per RFC 3464.
346 Support for RFC 3461 DSN options NOTIFY,ENVID,RET,ORCPT can be advertised
347 under the control of the dsn_advertise_hosts option, and routers may
348 have a dsn_lasthop option.
349
0f0c8159
JH
350JH/09 A timeout of 2 minutes is now applied to all malware scanner types by
351 default, modifiable by a malware= option. The list separator for

356JH/11 The incoming_interface log option now also enables logging of the
357 local interface on delivery outgoing connections.
358
5032d1cf

365JH/14 Bug 1573: The spam= ACL condition now additionally supports Rspamd.
366 Patch from Andrew Lewis.
367
fd4d8871 368JH/15 Bug 670: The spamd_address main option (for the spam= ACL condition)
dc7b3d36 369 now supports optional time-restrictions, weighting, and priority
fd4d8871
R
370 modifiers per server. Patch originally by <rommer@active.by>.
371
372JH/16 The spamd_address main option now supports a mixed list of local
2aad5761
JH
373 and remote servers. Remote servers can be IPv6 addresses, and
374 specify a port-range.
fd4d8871 375
23763898

444 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
445 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
446 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
447 the script parsing/test process like normal.

804TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
805
806 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
807 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
808 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
809 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
810 the retry rules.
811
812 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
813 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
814 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
815
816 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
817 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
818 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
819 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
820
1ddeb334
TF
821 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
822 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
823 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
824 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
825 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
826 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
827 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
828
829 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
830 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

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

865 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
866 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
867 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
868 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
869 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
870 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
871 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
872 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
873 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
874 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

1152TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1153 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1154 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1155
1156 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1157 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1158 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1159 not safe for signals.
1160
1161 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1162 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1163 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1164 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1165 exiwhat.

TF
1167TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1168
1169 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1170 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1171 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1172 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
1173 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
1174
1175 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1176 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1177 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1178 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1179 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1180 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1181
1182 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1183 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1184 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1185 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1186
1187 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1188 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1189 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1190 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1191
1192 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1193 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1194 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1195 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1196 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1197 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1198 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1199 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1200 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1201
1202 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1203 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1204 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1205 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1206
1207 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1208 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1209 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1210 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1211 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1212 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1213 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1214 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1215 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1216 details in the main documentation.

1767 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1788PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1789
6a3bceb1
PH
1790PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1791 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1792 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1793 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1794 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1795 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1796 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1797 for iplsearch lookups.
1798
1799 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1800 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1801 previously such lookups could never work.
1802
1803 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1804 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1805 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

1810MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1811 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1812 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1813 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1814 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1815 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1820MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1821 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1822 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1823 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1824 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1825 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2008PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2009 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2011 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2012 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2013 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2014 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2088 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2089 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2090 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2091 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2092 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2093 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2094 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2095 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2106PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2107 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2108
2109 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2110 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2111
2112 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2113 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2114 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2115
2116 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2117 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2118 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2119 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2120 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2136 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2137 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2138 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2139 rather than extend the field.

PH
2164PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2165 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2166 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2167 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2168 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2169 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2170 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2171 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2172 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2173 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2174 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2208PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2210 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2211 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2212 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2213 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2214 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2215 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2218 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2219 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2220 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2221 function.
2222 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2223 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2224 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2225 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2226 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2227 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2228 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2229 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2230 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2236 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2237 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2238 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2239 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2240 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2241 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2242 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2245 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2247
322050c2
PH
2248PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2249 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2250 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2251 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2252 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2253 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2254 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2255 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2256 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2257 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2258 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2259 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2260 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2263 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2264 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2265 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2266 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2267 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2268 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

2270PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2271 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2272 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2273 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2274 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2275 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2276 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2277 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2278 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2279 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
2281PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2284 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2285 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2287PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a

2289 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2290 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2291 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2292 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2293 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2299 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2300 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has

2333PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2334 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2335 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2336 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2337 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2338 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2339 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2340 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2341 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2342
2343 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2344 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2345 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2346 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2347 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2348 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2349 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2350 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2351 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2352
2353 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2354 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2355 hammering the server.

2370PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2371 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
2372 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
2373 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2374 fails.

48c7f9e2
PH
2376PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2377 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2378 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2379 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
2380 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
2381 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2382 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2383 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2384 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2385 smtp transport.

2658 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2659 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

2746 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2769 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2770 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2771 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.

2780PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
2781 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2782 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2783 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2784 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2785 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2786 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2787 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
2797PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2798 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2799 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2800 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2801 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2802 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2803 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2804 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2805 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2902PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2903 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2904 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2905 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2906 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2907 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2908 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2909 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2910 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2911 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

2923 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as

2948
2949 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2950 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2951 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2952 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2953
2954 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2955 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2956 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2957
2958PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2959 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2960 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2961 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

3032PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3033 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3034 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3035 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3036 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3037 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3038 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3039 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3040 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3041 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3042 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3101 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3102 identical. For example:
3103
3104 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])

3110PH/07 When both +timestamp and +memory debugging was on, the value given by
3111 $tod_xxx expansions could be wrong, because the tod_stamp() function was
3112 called by the debug printing, thereby overwriting the timestamp buffer.
3113 Debugging no longer uses the tod_stamp() function when +timestamp is set.

3134PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to
3135 Electronic Mail") by including:
3136
3137 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
3138
3139 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
3140 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
3141 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
3142 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
3143 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3144
3145 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3146
3147 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3148
3149 The auto-replied keyword:
3150
3151 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3152 message by an automatic process,
3153
3154 - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
3155
3156 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
3157 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),
3158
3159 - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic
3160 processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to
3161 other messages.

3182PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve
3183 extension "envelope-auth". The code is finished and in agreement with
3184 other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact,
3185 nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
3186 not changing the active code.
3187
3188 Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This
3189 helps a great deal to understand what a filter does.
3190

3192 sorted out, when out of a sudden new issues came to my mind. Oops."

PH
3197PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3198 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3199 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3200 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3201 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3202 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3203 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3204 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3205 the text comparison.
3206
96776534
PH
3207PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
3208 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
3209 form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
3210 The same fix has been applied.
