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.

40JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process. Several recipients, combined
41 with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split
42 over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly. This eventually
43 resulted in duplicates being sent. This issue only became common enough
44 to notice due to the introduction of conection certificate information,
45 the item size being so much larger. Found and fixed by Wolfgang Breyha.

80
81 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
82 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
83 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
84 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
85 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
86 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

332TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
333
334 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
335 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
336 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
337 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
338 the retry rules.
339
340 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
341 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
342 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
343
344 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
345 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
346 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
347 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
348
1ddeb334
TF
349 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
350 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
351 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
352 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
353 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
354 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
355 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
356
357 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
358 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

398 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
399 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option

680TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
681 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
682 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
683
684 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
685 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
686 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
687 not safe for signals.
688
689 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
690 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
691 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
692 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
693 exiwhat.
694
c99ce5c9
TF
695TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
696
697 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
698 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
699 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
700 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
701 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
702
703 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
704 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
705 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
706 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
707 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
708 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
709
710 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
711 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
712 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
713 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
714
715 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
716 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
717 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
718 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
719
720 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
721 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
722 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
723 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
724 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
725 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
726 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
727 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
728 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
729
730 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
731 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
732 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
733 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
734
735 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
736 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
737 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
738 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
739 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
740 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
741 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
742 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
743 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
744 details in the main documentation.

1294 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1295 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1297 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering

1316PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1317
6a3bceb1
PH
1318PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1319 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1320 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1321 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1322 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1323 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1324 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1325 for iplsearch lookups.
1326
1327 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1328 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1329 previously such lookups could never work.
1330
1331 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1332 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1333 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1338MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1339 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1340 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1341 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1342 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1343 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1348MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1349 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1350 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1351 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1352 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1353 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1430 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than

1536PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1537 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

1539 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1540 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1541 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1542 pipelining has not been advertised.

1557 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
1558 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

1588PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of

1590 behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
1591 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
1592 calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
1593 uses the Exim user.

1598 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
1599 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
1600 intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their

1616 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1617 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1618 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1619 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1620 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1621 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1622 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim

1631Exim version 4.66
1632-----------------
1633
1634PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
1635 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1636
1637 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1638 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1639
1640 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1641 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1642 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1643
1644 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1645 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1646 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1647 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1648 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1663 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
1664 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
1665 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
1666 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
1667 rather than extend the field.

PH
1692PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1693 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1694 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1695 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1696 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1697 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1698 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1699 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1700 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1701 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1702 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

1738 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
1739 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
1740 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
1741 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
1742 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
1743 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05
PH
1747 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
1748 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
1749 function.
1750 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
1751 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
1752 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
1753 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
1754 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
1755 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
1756 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
1757 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
1758 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

1765 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
1766 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
1767 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
1768 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
1769 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
1770 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
1776PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
1777 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
1778 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
1779 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
1780 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
1781 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
1782 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
1783 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
1784 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
1785 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
1786 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
1787 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
1788 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

1790PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
1791 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
1792 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
1793 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
1794 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
1795 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
1796 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

1798PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
1799 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
1800 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
1801 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
1802 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
1803 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
1804 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
1805 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
1806 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
1807 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
1809PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
1810 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
1811 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
1812 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
1813 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
1815PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
1816 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
1817 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
1818 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
1819 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
1820 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
1821 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

1824 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data

1826 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
1827 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
1828 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
1829 been verified.

1860
1861PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
1862 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
1863 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
1864 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
1865 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
1866 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
1867 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
1868 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
1869 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
1870
1871 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
1872 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
1873 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
1874 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
1875 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
1876 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
1877 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
1878 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
1879 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
1880
1881 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
1882 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
1883 hammering the server.

1898PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
1899 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

1901 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
1902 fails.
1903
48c7f9e2
PH
1904PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
1905 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
1906 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
1907 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
1908 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
1909 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
1910 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
1911 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
1912 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
1913 smtp transport.

2181PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".

2183 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2184 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2185 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2186 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2187 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2188 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2189 451 error is used.

2225PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2226 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2227 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2228 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2229 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2230 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2231 addresses as local.

2274 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2298 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2299 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.

2309 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2310 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2311 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2312 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2313 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2314 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2315 values from the SRV records were lost.

2317PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

PH
2325PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2326 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2327 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2328 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2329 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2330 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2331 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2332 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2333 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2430PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2431 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2432 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2433 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2434 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2435 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2436 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2437 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2438 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2439 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

2451 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as

2474PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
2475 used in LMTP mode:
2476
2477 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2478 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2479 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2480 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2481
2482 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2483 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2484 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2485
2486PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2487 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2488 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2489 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

2560PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2561 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2562 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2563 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2564 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2565 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2566 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2567 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2568 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2569 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2570 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2597 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2598 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2599 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2600 silly things.

2627 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2628 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2629 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2630 identical. For example:
2631
2632 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2633
2634 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data

2636 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2728 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
2729 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
2730 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
2731 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
2732 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of

3032 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
3033 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
3034 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,

3042 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

3152PH/22 Fixed some oversights/typos causing bugs when Exim is compiled with
3153 experimental DomainKeys support:
3154
3155 (1) The filter variables $n0-$n9 and $sn0-$sn9 were broken.
3156 (2) On an error such as an illegally used "control", the wrong name for
3157 the control was given.

3159 These problems did NOT occur unless DomainKeys support was compiled.

3165PH/25 Put debug statements on either side of calls to EXIM_DBOPEN() for hints

3171 chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were
3172 picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem
3173 to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be
3174 put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have
3175 set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due
3176 course.

3178PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
3179 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
3180 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
3181 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
3182 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
3183 introduced by 4.51/PH/31.

3193PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
3194 aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
3195 don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
3196 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
3197 record types that Exim uses.

3199PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
3200 not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
3201 prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
3202 data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
3203 non-existent file that was broken.

3214PH/32 In mua_wrapper mode, if an smtp transport configuration error (such as
3215 the use of a port name that isn't defined in /etc/services) occurred, the
3216 message was deferred as in a normal delivery, and thus remained on the
3217 spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This
3218 is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the
3219 same time.

3221SC/08 Eximstats: whilst parsing the mainlog(s), store information about

3248PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
3249 to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
3250
3251PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
3252 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
3253 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3254 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3255 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3256 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3257 file.
3258
3259PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3260 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3261 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3262 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3263 these two options.
3264
3265PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3266 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3267 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3268 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3269 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3270 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3271 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3272 address.
1a46a8c5
PH
3273
3274PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
3275 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
3276
3277PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3278 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3279 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3280 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3281 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3282 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
3283
3284PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
3285 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
3286 commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
3287 SMTP commands that take arguments.
3288
3289PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony
3290 Finch).
3291
3292PH/09 Previously, an attempt to use ${perl when it wasn't compiled gave an

3320 where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a
3321 negation of where the condition IS allowed.

PH
3334PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
3335 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
3336 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
3337 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3338 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
3339 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
3340 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
3341 for failure.

PH
3343PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
3344 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
3345 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
3346 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
3347 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
3348 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
3349 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
3350 "input=".
