12JH/03 The smtp transport now requests PRDR by default, if the server offers
13 it.
14
01a4a5c5
JH
15JH/04 Certificate name checking on server certificates, when exim is a client,
16 is now done by default. The transport option tls_verify_cert_hostname
17 can be used to disable this per-host. The build option
18 EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES is withdrawn.
19
cb1d7830 20JH/05 The value of the tls_verify_certificates smtp transport and main options
0e0f3f56 21 default to the word "system" to access the system default CA bundle.

29JH/07 Changed the default rfc1413 lookup settings to disable calls. Few
30 sites use this now.
31
50dc7409
JH
32JH/08 The EXPERIMENTAL_DSN compile option is no longer needed; all Delivery
33 Status Notification (bounce) messages are now MIME format per RFC 3464.
34 Support for RFC 3461 DSN options NOTIFY,ENVID,RET,ORCPT can be advertised
35 under the control of the dsn_advertise_hosts option, and routers may
36 have a dsn_lasthop option.
37
0f0c8159
JH
38JH/09 A timeout of 2 minutes is now applied to all malware scanner types by
39 default, modifiable by a malware= option. The list separator for
23763898 40 the options can now be changed in the usual way. Bug 68.
4e71661f 41
1ad6489e

AL
53JH/14 Bug 1573: The spam= ACL condition now additionally supports Rspamd.
54 Patch from Andrew Lewis.
55

dc7b3d36 57 now supports optional time-restrictions, weighting, and priority
fd4d8871
R
58 modifiers per server. Patch originally by <rommer@active.by>.
59
60JH/16 The spamd_address main option now supports a mixed list of local
2aad5761
JH
61 and remote servers. Remote servers can be IPv6 addresses, and
62 specify a port-range.

98
8241d8dd
JH
99JH/28 Bug 1588: Do not use the A lookup following an AAAA for setting the FQDN.
100 Normally benign, it bites when the pair was led to by a CNAME;
101 modern usage is to not canoicalize the domain to a CNAME target
102 (and we were inconsistent anyway for A-only vs AAAA+A).

105Exim version 4.85
106-----------------
107TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
108 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
109 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
110 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
111 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
112 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
113 the script parsing/test process like normal.
114
ac20058f
TL
115TL/02 The BSD's have an arc4random API. One of the functions to induce
116 adding randomness was arc4random_stir(), but it has been removed in
117 OpenBSD 5.5. Detect this OpenBSD version and skip calling this
118 function when detected.
119
a9b8ec8b
JH
120JH/01 Expand the EXPERIMENTAL_TPDA feature. Several different events now
121 cause callback expansion.
122
6286d7c4
TL
123TL/03 Bugzilla 1518: Clarify "condition" processing in routers; that
124 syntax errors in an expansion can be treated as a string instead of
125 logging or causing an error, due to the internal use of bool_lax
126 instead of bool when processing it.
127
0f06b4f2 128JH/02 Add EXPERIMENTAL_DANE, allowing for using the DNS as trust-anchor for
d567a64d
JH
129 server certificates when making smtp deliveries.

138 Merged patch from Sebastian Wiedenroth.
e449c3b0 139
bd21a787
WB
140JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process. Several recipients, combined
141 with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split
142 over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly. This eventually
143 resulted in duplicates being sent. This issue only became common enough
144 to notice due to the introduction of conection certificate information,
145 the item size being so much larger. Found and fixed by Wolfgang Breyha.
146
8bc732e8
JH
147JH/06 Bug 1533: Fix truncation of items in headers_remove lists. A fixed
148 size buffer was used, resulting in syntax errors when an expansion
149 exceeded it.
150
a7fec7a7
JH
151JH/07 Add support for directories of certificates when compiled with a GnuTLS
152 version 3.3.6 or later.
153
774ef2d7
JH
154JH/08 Rename the TPDA expermimental facility to Event Actions. The #ifdef
155 is EXPERIMENTAL_EVENT, the main-configuration and transport options
156 both become "event_action", the variables become $event_name, $event_data
aec45841 157 and $event_defer_errno. There is a new variable $verify_mode, usable in
723fe533
JH
158 routers, transports and related events. The tls:cert event is now also
159 raised for inbound connections, if the main configuration event_action
160 option is defined.
774ef2d7 161
eca4debb
TL
162TL/06 In test suite, disable OCSP for old versions of openssl which contained
163 early OCSP support, but no stapling (appears to be less than 1.0.0).
164
8d692470
JH
165JH/09 When compiled with OpenSSL and EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES, the checks on
166 server certificate names available under the smtp transport option
167 "tls_verify_cert_hostname" now do not permit multi-component wildcard
168 matches.
169
e9477a08
JH
170JH/10 Time-related extraction expansions from certificates now use the main
171 option "timezone" setting for output formatting, and are consistent
172 between OpenSSL and GnuTLS compilations. Bug 1541.

214Exim version 4.83
215-----------------
216
217TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
218
219 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
220 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
221 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
222 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
223 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
224 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

227 utilities have not been installed.

255 results permerror and temperror. Previous values are deprecated but
256 still accepted. In a future release, err_perm and err_temp will be
257 completely removed, which will be a backward incompatibility if the
258 ACL tests for either of these two old results. Patch contributed by

283JH/12 Expand items in router/transport headers_add or headers_remove lists
284 individually rather than the list as a whole. Bug 1452.
285
286 Required for reasonable handling of multiple headers_ options when
287 they may be empty; requires that headers_remove items with embedded
288 colons must have them doubled (or the list-separator changed).

470TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
471
472 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
473 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
474 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
475 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
476 the retry rules.
477
478 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
479 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
480 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
481
482 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
483 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
484 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
485 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
486
1ddeb334
TF
487 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
488 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
489 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
490 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
491 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
492 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
493 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
494
495 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
496 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

500 Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header

503
504 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
505 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
506 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
507 username as equal to the username.

509 This change corrects that bug.

530JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
531 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
532 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
533 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
534 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
535 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
536 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
537 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
538 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
539 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
540 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

818TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
819 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
820 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
821
822 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
823 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
824 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
825 not safe for signals.
826
827 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
828 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
829 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
830 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
831 exiwhat.

833TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
834
835 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
836 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
837 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
838 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
839 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
840
841 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
842 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
843 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
844 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
845 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
846 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
847
848 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
849 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
850 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
851 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
852
853 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
854 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
855 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
856 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
857
858 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
859 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
860 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
861 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
862 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
863 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
864 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
865 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
866 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
867
868 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
869 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
870 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
871 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
872
873 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
874 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
875 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
876 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
877 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
878 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
879 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
880 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
881 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
882 details in the main documentation.

1432 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1433 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1435 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering

1452-----------------
1453
1454PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1455
6a3bceb1
PH
1456PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1457 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1458 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1459 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1460 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1461 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1462 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1463 for iplsearch lookups.
1464
1465 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1466 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1467 previously such lookups could never work.
1468
1469 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1470 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1471 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1476MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1477 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1478 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1479 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1480 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1481 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1486MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1487 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1488 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1489 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1490 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1491 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

PH
1674PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1675 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
1676 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
1677 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1678 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1679 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1680 pipelining has not been advertised.

1696 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

PH
1754 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1755 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1756 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1757 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1758 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1759 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1760 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1761 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1772PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
1773 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1774
1775 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1776 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1777
1778 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1779 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1780 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1781
1782 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1783 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1784 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1785 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1786 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1802 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
1803 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
1804 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
1805 rather than extend the field.

1812 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).

1821TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used

2b1c6e3a
PH
1830PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1831 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1832 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1833 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1834 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1835 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1836 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1837 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1838 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1839 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1840 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

1874PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

1876 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
1877 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
1878 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
1879 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
1880 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
1881 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 1884 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
1885 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
1886 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
1887 function.
1888 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
1889 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
1890 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
1891 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
1892 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
1893 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
1894 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
1895 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
1896 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

1902 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
1903 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
1904 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
1905 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
1906 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
1907 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
1908 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

1913
322050c2
PH
1914PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
1915 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
1916 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
1917 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
1918 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
1919 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
1920 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
1921 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
1922 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
1923 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
1924 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
1925 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
1926 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

1928PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
1929 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
1930 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
1931 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
1932 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
1933 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
1934 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
1936PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
1937 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
1938 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
1939 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
1940 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
1941 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
1942 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
1943 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
1944 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
1945 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
1947PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
1948 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally

1950 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
1951 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
1953PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
1954 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
1955 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the

1961PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
1962 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data

1964 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
1965 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
1966 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
1967 been verified.

1999PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2000 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2001 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2002 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2003 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2004 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2005 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2006 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2007 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2008
2009 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2010 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2011 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2012 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2013 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2014 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2015 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2016 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2017 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2018
2019 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2020 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2021 hammering the server.

2036PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2037 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

2039 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2040 fails.
2041
48c7f9e2
PH
2042PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2043 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2044 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2045 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
2046 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
2047 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2048 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2049 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2050 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2051 smtp transport.

2324 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2325 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

2349PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
2350 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
2351 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
2352 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
2353 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
2354 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
2355 processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

2362
2363PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2364 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2365 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2366 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2367 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2368 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2369 addresses as local.

2412 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2432 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
2433 changes:
2434
2435 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2436 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2437 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
2438

2446PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
2447 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2448 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2449 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2450 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2451 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2452 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2453 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
2463PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2464 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2465 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2466 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2467 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2468 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2469 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2470 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2471 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2568PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2569 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2570 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2571 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2572 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2573 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2574 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2575 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2576 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2577 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

2614
2615 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2616 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2617 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2618 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2619
2620 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2621 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2622 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2623
2624PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2625 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the

2699 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2700 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2701 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2702 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2703 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2704 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2705 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2706 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2707 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2708 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2764PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2765 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2766 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2767 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2768 identical. For example:
2769
2770 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2771
2772 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2773 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2774 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2800PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to

2802
2803 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
2804
2805 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
2806 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
2807 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
2808 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
2809 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
2810
2811 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
2812
2813 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
2814
2815 The auto-replied keyword:
2816
2817 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
2818 message by an automatic process,
2819

2863PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated

2865 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
2866 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
2867 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
2868 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
2869 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
2870 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
2871 the text comparison.

3148 "warn" verbs). This seems wrong, so I have changed it.

3150TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that
3151 it should not have, which might have caused a crash in the right

3168PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
3169 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
3170 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
3171 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
3172 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
3173 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.

PH
3175PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
3176 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
3177 write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
3178 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
3179 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
3180 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

3246PH/15 The code I had for printing potentially long long variables in PH/11

PH
3249 or %lld) is chosen and #defined by OFF_T_FMT. We also define LONGLONG_T

3251 formatting function string_vformat().

3253PH/16 Applied Matthew Newton's patch to exicyclog: "If log_file_path is set in
3254 the configuration file to be ":syslog", then the script "guesses" where
3255 the logs files are, rather than using the compiled in default. In our
3256 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
3257 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
3258 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim
3259 with no configuration file to get the compiled in version, before it
3260 falls back to the previous guessing code."

3275 patch removes a few documentation additions to RFC 3028, because the

3277 and a new error check for 8bit text in MIME parts. Comparator and

3309 chmod(), fcntl(), sscanf(), and other functions from stdio.h. These were
3310 picked up on a user's system that detects such things. There doesn't seem
3311 to be a gcc warning option for this - only an attribute that has to be
3312 put on the function's prototype. It seems that in Fedora Core 4 they have
3313 set this on a number of new functions. No doubt there will be more in due
3314 course.

PH
3316PH/27 If a dnslookup or manualroute router is set with verify=only, it need not
3317 specify a transport. However, if an address that was verified by such a
3318 router was the subject of a callout, Exim crashed because it tried to
3319 read the rcpt_include_affixes from the non-existent transport. Now it
3320 just assumes that the setting of that option is false. This bug was
3321 introduced by 4.51/PH/31.

PH
3331PH/30 Exim's DNS code uses the original T_xxx names for DNS record times. These
3332 aren't the modern standard, and it seems that some systems' include files
3333 don't always have them. Exim was already checking for some of the newer
3334 ones like T_AAAA, and defining it itself. I've added checks for all the
3335 record types that Exim uses.

PH
3337PH/31 When using GnuTLS, if the parameters cache file did not exist, Exim was
3338 not automatically generating a new one, as it is supposed to. This
3339 prevented TLS from working. If the file did exist, but contained invalid
3340 data, a new version was generated, as expected. It was only the case of a
3341 non-existent file that was broken.
