14
15TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
16
17 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
18 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
19 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
20 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
21 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
22 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

268TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
269
270 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
271 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
272 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
273 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
274 the retry rules.
275
276 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
277 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
278 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
279
280 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
281 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
282 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
283 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
284
1ddeb334
TF
285 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
286 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
287 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
288 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
289 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
290 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
291 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
292
293 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
294 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

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

329 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
330 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
331 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
332 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
333 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
334 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
335 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
336 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
337 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
338 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

616TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
617 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
618 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
619
620 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
621 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
622 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
623 not safe for signals.
624
625 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
626 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
627 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
628 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
629 exiwhat.
630
c99ce5c9
TF
631TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
632
633 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
634 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
635 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
636 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
637 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
638
639 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
640 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
641 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
642 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
643 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
644 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
645
646 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
647 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
648 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
649 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
650
651 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
652 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
653 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
654 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
655
656 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
657 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
658 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
659 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
660 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
661 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
662 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
663 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
664 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
665
666 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
667 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
668 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
669 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
670
671 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
672 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
673 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
674 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
675 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
676 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
677 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
678 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
679 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
680 details in the main documentation.

1231 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1252PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1253
6a3bceb1
PH
1254PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1255 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1256 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1257 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1258 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1259 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1260 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1261 for iplsearch lookups.
1262
1263 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1264 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1265 previously such lookups could never work.
1266
1267 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1268 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1269 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1274MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1275 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1276 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1277 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1278 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1279 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1284MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1285 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1286 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1287 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1288 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1289 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

PH
1472PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1473 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
1474 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
1475 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1476 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1477 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1478 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
1490PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
1491 Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
1492 SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
1493 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
1494 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
1495 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
1496 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

1527 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it

1534 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
1535 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is

PH
1552 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1553 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1554 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1555 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1556 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1557 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1558 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1559 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1573 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1574 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1575
1576 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1577 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1578 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1579
1580 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1581 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1582 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1583 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1584 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1598PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
1599 child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
1600 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
1601 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
1602 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
1603 rather than extend the field.

1609TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
1610 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
1611 While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
1612 filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
1613 these files.

1615TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
1616 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,

1618
1619TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
1620 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,

1623TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,

1626 in the field name.

2b1c6e3a
PH
1628PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1629 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1630 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1631 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1632 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1633 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1634 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1635 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1636 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1637 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1638 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

1672PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
1673 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
1674 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
1675 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
1676 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
1677 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
1678 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
1679 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 1682 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
1683 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
1684 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
1685 function.
1686 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
1687 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
1688 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
1689 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
1690 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
1691 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
1692 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
1693 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
1694 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

1699PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
1700 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
1701 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
1702 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
1703 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
1704 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
1705 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
1706 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

1711
322050c2
PH
1712PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
1713 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
1714 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
1715 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
1716 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
1717 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
1718 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
1719 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
1720 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
1721 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
1722 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
1723 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
1724 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

1726PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
1727 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
1728 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
1729 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
1730 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
1731 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
1732 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
1734PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
1735 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
1736 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
1737 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
1738 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
1739 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
1740 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
1741 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
1742 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
1743 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
1745PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
1746 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
1747 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
1748 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
1749 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
1751PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
1752 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
1753 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
1754 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
1755 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
1756 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
1757 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

1759PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
1760 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data

1762 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
1763 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
1764 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
1765 been verified.

1796
1797PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
1798 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
1799 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
1800 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
1801 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
1802 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
1803 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
1804 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
1805 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
1806
1807 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
1808 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
1809 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
1810 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
1811 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
1812 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
1813 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
1814 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
1815 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
1816
1817 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
1818 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
1819 hammering the server.

1834PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
1835 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
1836 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
1837 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
1838 fails.
1839
48c7f9e2
PH
1840PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
1841 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
1842 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
1843 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
1844 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
1845 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
1846 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
1847 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
1848 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
1849 smtp transport.

1963Exim version 4.63
1964-----------------
1965
1966SC/01 Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in eximstats generated
1967 parser. This improves both readability and performance.
1968
1969SC/02 Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics in eximstats.
1970 Don't display local sender or destination tables in eximstats unless
1971 there is data to show.
1972 Added average volumes into the eximstats top table text output.
1973
1974SC/03 Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients) as well
1975 as the number of messages in eximstats.

1977TF/01 Correct an error in the documentation for the redirect router. Exim
1978 does (usually) call initgroups() when daemonizing.

PH
1980TF/02 Call initgroups() when dropping privilege in exim.c, so that Exim runs
1981 with consistent privilege compared to when running as a daemon.

6083aca0
TF
1989TF/05 Make it easier to get SMTP authentication and TLS/SSL support working
1990 by adding some example configuration directives to the default
1991 configuration file. A little bit of work is required to uncomment the
1992 directives and define how usernames and passwords are checked, but
1993 there is now a framework to start from.
1994
765b530f
PH
1995PH/01 Added #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 to ldap.c because some of the "old"
1996 functions that Exim currently uses aren't defined in ldap.h for OpenLDAP
1997 without this. I don't know how relevant this is to other LDAP libraries.

2012PH/06 Added acl_not_smtp_start, based on Johannes Berg's patch, and set the
2013 bit to forbid control=suppress_local_fixups in the acl_not_smtp ACL,
2014 because it is too late at that time, and has no effect.

PH
2016PH/07 Changed ${quote_pgsql to quote ' as '' instead of \' because of a
2017 security issue with \' (bugzilla #107). I could not use the
2018 PQescapeStringConn() function, because it needs a PGconn value as one of
2019 its arguments.

PH
2021PH/08 When testing addresses using -bt, indicate those final addresses that
2022 are duplicates that would not cause an additional delivery. At least one
2023 person was confused, thinking that -bt output corresponded to deliveries.

PH
2092PH/24 Re-jigged the order of the tests in the default configuration so that the

PH
2096PH/25 Exim was not testing for a space following SMTP commands such as EHLO

PH
2101PH/26 (n)wildlsearch lookups are documented as being done case-insensitively.
2102 However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by
2103 including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already
2104 lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a
2105 one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected.

2108Exim version 4.62
2109-----------------
2110

2112 other effects) broke the use of negated acl sub-conditions.

afb3eaaf
PH
2117PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
2118 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
2119 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2120 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2121 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2122 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2123 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2124 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2125 451 error is used.

2133PH/05 Batch deliveries by appendfile and pipe transports did not work when the

2141PH/07 The appendfile transport was creating MBX lock files with a fixed mode

PH
2147PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
2148 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
2149 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
2150 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
2151 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
2152 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
2153 processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

2158Exim version 4.61
2159-----------------
2160
2161PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2162 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2163 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2164 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2165 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2166 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2167 addresses as local.
2168
f9daeae0
PH
2169PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@
2170 [ipv6:....] because it didn't know about the "ipv6:" prefix.

c8ea1597
PH
2174PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the
2175 decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers
2176 lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
2177 invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
2178 newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
2179 grumble.

2184PH/06 Increased the number of ACL variables to 20 of each type, and arranged
2185 for visible compile-time settings that can be used to change these

2190PH/07 Two small changes when running in the test harness: increase delay when

PH
2207PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
2208 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
2209 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
2210 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
2211 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
2212 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
2213 bounce message.

PH
2222PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was
2223 compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always

2225 literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.

PH
2227PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
2228 used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
2229 ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
2230 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
2231 changes:
2232
2233 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2234 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2235 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
2236
2237 (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,
2238 outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs
2239 the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.

1349e1e5
PH
2244PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
2245 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2246 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2247 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2248 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2249 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2250 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2251 values from the SRV records were lost.
2252
ea49d0e1
PH
2253PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not
2254 using the correct key (the original address) when searching the retry
2255 rules in order to find which one to use for generating the retry hint.
2256
064a94c9
PH
2257PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from
2258 adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the
2259 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
2260
727071f8
PH
2261PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2262 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2263 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2264 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2265 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2266 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2267 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2268 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2269 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2366PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2367 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2368 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2369 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2370 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2371 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2372 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2373 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2374 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2375 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

2383PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
2384 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
2385 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
2386 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
2387 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
2388 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
2389 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
2390 the variable.

2410PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
2411 used in LMTP mode:
2412
2413 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2414 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2415 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2416 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2417
2418 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2419 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2420 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2421
2422PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2423 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2424 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2425 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
2426 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

2496PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2497 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2498 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2499 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2500 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2501 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2502 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2503 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2504 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2505 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2506 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2529
2530 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty

2532
2533 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2534 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2535 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2536 silly things.
2537
2538 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
2539 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

2562PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2563 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2564 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2565 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2566 identical. For example:
2567
2568 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2569
2570 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2571 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2572 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2598PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to

2600
2601 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
2602
2603 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
2604 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
2605 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
2606 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
2607 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
2608
2609 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
2610
2611 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
2612
2613 The auto-replied keyword:
2614
2615 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
2616 message by an automatic process,
2617

2664 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
2665 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
2666 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
2667 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
2668 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
2669 the text comparison.

2788
2789 - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
2790 - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.

2792 The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17

2966PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
2967 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
2968 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
2969 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
2970 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
2971 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.

2973PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
2974 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
2975 write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
2976 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
2977 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
2978 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

3054 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
3055 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks
3056 to see if log_file_path is "". If so, it attempts to read it from exim

3058 falls back to the previous guessing code."

3150PH/32 In mua_wrapper mode, if an smtp transport configuration error (such as
3151 the use of a port name that isn't defined in /etc/services) occurred, the
3152 message was deferred as in a normal delivery, and thus remained on the
3153 spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This
3154 is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the
3155 same time.

3157SC/08 Eximstats: whilst parsing the mainlog(s), store information about
3158 the messages in a hash of arrays rather than using individual hashes.
3159 This is a bit cleaner and results in dramatic memory savings, albeit
3160 at a slight CPU cost.

3184PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
3185 to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
3186
3187PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
3188 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
3189 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3190 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3191 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3192 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3193 file.
3194
3195PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3196 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3197 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3198 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3199 these two options.
3200
3201PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3202 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3203 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3204 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3205 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3206 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3207 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3208 address.

PH
3209
3210PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
3211 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
3212
3213PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3214 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3215 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3216 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3217 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3218 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
3219
3220PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
3221 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
3222 commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
3223 SMTP commands that take arguments.

3254 and controls are allowed in which ACLs. There were a couple of minor
3255 errors. Some of the entries in the conditions table (which is a table of
3256 where they are NOT allowed) were getting very unwieldy; rewrote them as a
3257 negation of where the condition IS allowed.

3264 API. The code is untested by me (my Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of
3265 radiusclient), but it was contributed by a Radius user.

PH
3270PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
3271 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
3272 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
3273 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3274 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
3275 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
3276 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
3277 for failure.

3279PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
3280 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
3281 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
3282 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
3283 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
3284 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
3285 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
3286 "input=".

3295
c5ddb310
PH
3296PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
3297 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
3298 understands it better than I do:
3299
3300 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
3301 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
3302
3303 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
3304 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
3305 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
3306 => three warnings about OTP not working
3307 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
3308
3309 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
3310 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
3311 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
3312 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
3313 for each call.)
3314 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
3315 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
3316
3317 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
3318 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
3319 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

3329PH/27 $acl_verify_message is now set immediately after the failure of a

3333 warn !verify = sender
3334 set acl_m0 = $acl_verify_message
