8TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
9
10 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
11 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
12 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
13 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
14 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
15 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

TF
152TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
153
154 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
155 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
156 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
157 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
158 the retry rules.
159
160 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
161 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
162 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
163
164 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
165 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
166 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
167 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
168
1ddeb334
TF
169 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
170 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
171 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
172 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
173 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
174 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
175 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
176
177 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
178 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.
179

TF
180TF/02 Correct gecos expansion when From: is a prefix of the username.
181
182 Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header
183
184 Resent-From: f
185
186 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
187 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
188 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
189 username as equal to the username.
190
191 This change corrects that bug.

212JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
213 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
214 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
215 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
216 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
217 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
218 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
219 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
220 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
221 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
222 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

500TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
501 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
502 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
503
504 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
505 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
506 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
507 not safe for signals.
508
509 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
510 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
511 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
512 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
513 exiwhat.
514

TF
515TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
516
517 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
518 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
519 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
520 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
521 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
522
523 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
524 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
525 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
526 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
527 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
528 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
529
530 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
531 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
532 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
533 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
534
535 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
536 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
537 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
538 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
539
540 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
541 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
542 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
543 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
544 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
545 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
546 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
547 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
548 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
549
550 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
551 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
552 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
553 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
554
555 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
556 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
557 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
558 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
559 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
560 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
561 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
562 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
563 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
564 details in the main documentation.

1115 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1136PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1137
6a3bceb1
PH
1138PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1139 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1140 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1141 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1142 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1143 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1144 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1145 for iplsearch lookups.
1146
1147 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1148 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1149 previously such lookups could never work.
1150
1151 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1152 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1153 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1158MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1159 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1160 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1161 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1162 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1163 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1168MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1169 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1170 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1171 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1172 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1173 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1356PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1357 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

1359 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1360 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1361 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1362 pipelining has not been advertised.

1418 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the

PH
1436 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1437 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1438 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1439 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1440 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1441 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1442 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1443 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1454PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
1455 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1456
1457 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1458 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1459
1460 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1461 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1462 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1463
1464 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1465 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1466 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1467 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1468 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1484 is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
1485 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

2b1c6e3a
PH
1512PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1513 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1514 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1515 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1516 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1517 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1518 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1519 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1520 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1521 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1522 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

1558 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
1559 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
1560 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
1561 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
1562 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host

7befa435 1566 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
1567 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
1568 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
1569 function.
1570 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
1571 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
1572 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
1573 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
1574 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
1575 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
1576 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
1577 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
1578 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

1586 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
1587 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
1588 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
1589 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
1590 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
1596PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
1597 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
1598 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
1599 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
1600 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
1601 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
1602 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
1603 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
1604 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
1605 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
1606 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
1607 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
1608 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

1610PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
1611 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
1612 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
1613 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
1614 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
1615 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
1616 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

1618PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
1619 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
1620 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
1621 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
1622 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
1623 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
1624 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
1625 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
1626 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
1627 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

1629PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

1631 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
1632 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
1633 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
1635PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
1636 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
1637 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
1638 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
1639 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
1640 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
1641 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

1646 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
1647 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
1648 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
1649 been verified.

1680
1681PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
1682 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
1683 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
1684 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
1685 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
1686 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
1687 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
1688 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
1689 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
1690
1691 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
1692 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
1693 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
1694 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
1695 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
1696 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
1697 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
1698 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
1699 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
1700
1701 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
1702 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
1703 hammering the server.

1718PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
1719 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

1721 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
1722 fails.
1723
48c7f9e2
PH
1724PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
1725 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
1726 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
1727 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
1728 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
1729 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
1730 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
1731 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
1732 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
1733 smtp transport.

2001PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
2002 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
2003 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2004 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2005 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2006 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2007 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2008 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2009 451 error is used.

2045PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2046 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2047 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2048 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2049 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2050 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2051 addresses as local.

2094 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2129 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2130 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2131 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2132 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2133 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2134 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2135 values from the SRV records were lost.

PH
2145PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2146 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2147 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2148 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2149 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2150 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2151 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2152 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2153 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

2250PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2251 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2252 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2253 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2254 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2255 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2256 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2257 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2258 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

2296
2297 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given

2299 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2300 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2301
2302 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2303 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2304 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2305
2306PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2307 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the

2366PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being

2368 In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
2369 been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
2370 body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
2371 include only those that have been read before the error was detected.

2380PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2381 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2382 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2383 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2384 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2385 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2386 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2387 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2388 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2389 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2390 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2413
2414 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
2415 string.
2416
2417 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2418 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2419 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2420 silly things.
2421
2422 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
2423 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
2424

2446PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2447 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2448 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2449 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2450 identical. For example:
2451
2452 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2453
2454 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2455 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2456 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2482PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to

2484
2485 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
2486
2487 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
2488 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
2489 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
2490 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
2491 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
2492
2493 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
2494
2495 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
2496
2497 The auto-replied keyword:
2498
2499 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
2500 message by an automatic process,
2501

2545PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated

2547 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
2548 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
2549 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
2550 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
2551 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
2552 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
2553 the text comparison.

2850PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
2851 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
2852 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
2853 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
2854 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
2855 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.

2860 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
2861 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
2862 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

2938 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
2939 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks

3071PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
3072 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
3073 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3074 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3075 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3076 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3077 file.
3078
3079PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3080 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3081 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3082 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3083 these two options.
3084
3085PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3086 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3087 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3088 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3089 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3090 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3091 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3092 address.

3097PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3098 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3099 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3100 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3101 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3102 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
3103
3104PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

3157 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3158 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
3159 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
3160 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
3161 for failure.

3163PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
3164 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
3165 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
3166 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
3167 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
3168 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
3169 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
3170 "input=".

3180PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
3181 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
3182 understands it better than I do:
3183
3184 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
3185 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
3186
3187 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
3188 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
3189 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
3190 => three warnings about OTP not working
3191 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
3192
3193 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
3194 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
3195 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
3196 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
3197 for each call.)
3198 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
3199 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
3200
3201 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
3202 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
3203 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

PH
3267PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
3268 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
3269 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
3270 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
3271 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
3272 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
3273 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
3274
3275 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
3276 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
3277 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
3278 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
3279 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
3280
3281 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
3282 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
3283 routed further.

3289 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
3290 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

3327 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
3328 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
3329 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
3330 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
3331 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
3332 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in

3342A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
3343----------------------------------------
3344
3345Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
3346changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
3347needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
3348in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
3349that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
3350release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
3351from 4.43.
3352
3353I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
33544.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
3355those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
3356historical information.
