9-----------------

9723f966
JH
11JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
12 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
13
14JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
15 non-signal-safe functions being used.
16
17JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
18 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
19 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 20
ea7b1f16
JH
21JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
22 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
23 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
24
cfbb0d24
JH
25JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
26 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
27 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
28 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
29 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
30 messed with.
31

PP
32PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
33 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
34
1bd642c2
JH
35JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
36 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
37 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
38 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
39 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
40 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
41 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
42
2ddb4094
JH
43JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
44 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
45
1613fd68
JH
46JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
47 legitimate.
48
e6057245
JH
49JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
50 Previously this would segfault.
51

JH
52JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
53 segfault.
54
d8d9f930
JH
55JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
56 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
57 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
58 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
59 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
60 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
61
61e3f250
JH
62JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
63
7a8b9519
JH
64JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
65 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
66 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
67 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
68
49e56fb3
JH
69JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
70
74f1a423
JH
71JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
72 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
73 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
74 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
75
5054c4fd 76JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
77
78JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
5054c4fd 79
946515bf
JH
80JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
81 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
82 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
83
8c34c611
JH
84JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
85 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
86 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
87

PP
88PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
89
8a6b4e02
JH
90JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
91 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
92 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
93 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
94
0a682b6c
PP
95PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
96 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
97 promised '?' replacement.
98
c2c451ac
PP
99PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
100
8768d548
JH
101JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
102 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
103 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
104 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
105 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
106
5455f548
JH
107JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
108 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
109 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
110

MK
111JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
112 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
113 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
114
7ea1237c 115JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 116 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
117 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
118
ebda598a
JH
119JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
120 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
121 hope that is portable enough.
122
570cb1bd
JH
123JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
124 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
125 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
126 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
127
eb58ddf5
JH
128JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
129 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
130 SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
131
ffbc20ed
MK
132JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
133 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
134 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
135 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
136
4e928780
MK
137JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
138 msg:fail:internal event. Developement by Matthias Kurz.
139
75c121f0 140JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
059f2ace 141 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all
75c121f0
JH
142 the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
143 overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
144
e30f4f43
JH
145JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
146 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
147 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
148
a45431fa
JH
149JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
150 platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
151 (i.e. more than 2 TB). Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
152 the previous G, M, k.
153
c0fb53b7
JH
154JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
155 $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure. Previously
156 it was unset.
157
6aac3239
JH
158JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048. RHEL 8.0
159 OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key. Do for GnuTLS also, and for
160 more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
161 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.
162
5a2a0989
JH
163JH/35 OpenSSL: fail the handshake when SNI processing hits a problem, server
164 side. Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.
165
b72f857f
JH
166JH/36 Harder the handling of string-lists. When a list consisted of a sole
167 "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked
168 off past the nul-terimation.

172-----------------
459fca58 173
c39c8870 174GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
bb264f6b
JH
175 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
176 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
177 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
178 next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
179 be defined in redis_servers.

184JH/01 Replace the store_release() internal interface with store_newblock(),
185 which internalises the check required to safely use the old one, plus
186 the allocate and data copy operations duplicated in both (!) of the
187 extant use locations.
188

JH
189JH/02 Disallow '/' characters in queue names specified for the "queue=" ACL
190 modifier. This matches the restriction on the commandline.

bbfb5dcd
JH
192JH/03 Fix pgsql lookup for multiple result-tuples with a single column.
193 Previously only the last row was returned.
194
a05d3e34
JH
195JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
196 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
197 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
198 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
199 input.
200
ce93c6d8
JH
201JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
202 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
203 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
204 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
205 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
206 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
207 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
208 Main pool for expansions.
209 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
210 active in the testsuite.
211 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.
212
2577f55f
JH
213JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
214 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
215 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
216 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
217 round-robin DNS.
218
5b6f7658
JH
219JH/07 Bug 2214: Fix SMTP responses resulting from non-accept result of MIME ACL.
220 Previously a spurious "250 OK id=" response was appended to the proper
221 failure response.
222
c11d665d

223JH/08 The "support for" informational output now, which built with Content
224 Scanning support, has a line for the malware scanner interfaces compiled
225 in. Interface can be individually included or not at build time.
e5ba8aa7
JH
226
227JH/09 The "aveserver", "kavdaemon" and "mksd" interfaces are now not included
228 by the template makefile "src/EDITME". The "STREAM" support for an older
229 ClamAV interface method is removed.

234JH/11 The runtime Berkeley DB library version is now additionally output by
235 "exim -d -bV". Previously only the compile-time version was shown.
236
06fdb9f7
JH
237JH/12 Bug 2230: Fix cutthrough routing for nonfirst messages in an initiating
238 SMTP connection. Previously, when one had more receipients than the
239 first, an abortive onward connection was made. Move to full support for
240 multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
241 for all multi-message initiating connections.
242
f83a760f
JH
243JH/13 Bug 2229: Fix cutthrough routing for nonstandard port numbers defined by
244 routers. Previously, a multi-recipient message would fail to match the
245 onward-connection opened for the first recipient, and cause its closure.
246
f1fed05b
JH
247JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
248 a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the
249 initiating connection being dropped. This mattered most when the callout
250 was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
251 separate.
252
051d5efa
JH
253JH/15 Relax results from ACL control request to enable cutthrough, in
254 unsupported situations, from error to silently (except under debug)
255 ignoring. This covers use with PRDR, frozen messages, queue-only and
256 fake-reject.

270 and send a quit.

JH
282JH/21 Fix memory leak during multi-message connections using STARTTLS. A buffer
283 was allocated for every new TLS startup, meaning one per message. Fix
284 by only allocating once (OpenSSL) or freeing on TLS-close (GnuTLS).
285

310JH/28 Ensure that variables possibly set during message acceptance are marked
311 dead before release of memory in the daemon loop. This stops complaints
312 about them when the debug_store option is enabled. Discovered specifically
313 for sender_rate_period, but applies to a whole set of variables.
c232fc99
JH
314 Do the same for the queue-runner and queue-list loops, for variables set
315 from spool message files. Do the same for the SMTP per-message loop, for
316 certain variables indirectly set in ACL operations.

JH
318JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
319 as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
320 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
321 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
322 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
323 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
324 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
325 receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
326 (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).
327 Discovered and pinpointed by David Carter.

398 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
399 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
400 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 401 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

442JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
443 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
444 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
445 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
446 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
447 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
448 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.

1162TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
1163 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
1164 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
1165 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
1166 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
1167 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
1168 the script parsing/test process like normal.

1525TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1526
1527 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1528 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1529 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1530 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1531 the retry rules.
1532
1533 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1534 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1535 address never reaches the final cutoff time.

1537 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1538 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1539 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1540 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.

1542 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1543 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1544 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1545 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1546 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1547 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1548 delivery, as in LMTP.

1549
1550 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1551 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1559 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
1560 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
1561 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
1562 username as equal to the username.

1873TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1874 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1875 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1876
1877 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1878 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1879 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1880 not safe for signals.
1881
1882 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1883 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1884 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1885 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1886 exiwhat.

c99ce5c9
TF
1888TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1889
1890 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1891 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1892 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1893 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1894 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1895
1896 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1897 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1898 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1899 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1900 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1901 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1902
1903 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1904 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1905 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1906 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1907
1908 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1909 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1910 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1911 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1912
1913 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1914 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1915 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1916 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1917 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1918 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1919 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1920 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1921 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1922
1923 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1924 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1925 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1926 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1927
1928 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1929 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1930 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1931 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1932 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1933 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1934 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1935 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1936 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1937 details in the main documentation.

2488 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2510
6a3bceb1
PH
2511PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2512 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2513 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2514 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2515 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2516 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2517 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2518 for iplsearch lookups.
2519
2520 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2521 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2522 previously such lookups could never work.
2523
4c04137d 2524 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2525 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2526 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2531MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2532 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2533 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2534 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2535 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2536 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
2541MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2542 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2543 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2544 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2545 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2546 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

2729PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2730 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2732 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2733 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2734 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2735 pipelining has not been advertised.

2784 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it

PH
2809 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2810 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2811 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2812 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2813 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2814 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2815 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2816 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2826
2827PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2828 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2829
2830 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2831 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2832
2833 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2834 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2835 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2836
2837 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2838 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2839 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2840 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2841 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

PH
2855PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
2856 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
2857 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
2858 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
2859 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
2860 rather than extend the field.

2866TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
2867 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
2868 While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K

2870 these files.

2872TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
2873 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
2874 triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
2875
2876TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
2877 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,

2b1c6e3a
PH
2885PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2886 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2887 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2888 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2889 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2890 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2891 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2892 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2893 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2894 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2895 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2929PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2931 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2932 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2933 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2934 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2935 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2936 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2939 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2940 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2941 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2942 function.
2943 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2944 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2945 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2946 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2947 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2948 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2949 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2950 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2951 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2957 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2958 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2959 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2960 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2961 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2962 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2963 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2966 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2968
322050c2
PH
2969PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2970 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2971 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2972 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2973 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2974 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2975 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2976 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2977 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2978 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2979 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2980 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2981 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
2983PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2984 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2985 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2986 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2987 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2988 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2989 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2991PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2992 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2993 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2994 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2995 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2996 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2997 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2998 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2999 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3000 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

602e59e5
PH
3002PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3003 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3004 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3005 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3006 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3008PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3009 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3010 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3011 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3012 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3013 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3014 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3019 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3020 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3021 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3022 been verified.

3053
3054PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3055 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3056 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3057 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3058 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3059 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3060 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3061 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3062 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3063
3064 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3065 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3066 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3067 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3068 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3069 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3070 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3071 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3072 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3073
3074 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3075 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3076 hammering the server.

3091PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
3092 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
3093 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
3094 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3095 fails.
3096
48c7f9e2
PH
3097PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3098 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3099 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3100 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3101 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
3102 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3103 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3104 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3105 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3106 smtp transport.

3108PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the
