11GF/01 DEFER rather than ERROR on redis cluster MOVED response.
12 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
13 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
14 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the
15 next server in the list. For a cluster of N elements, all N servers must
16 be defined in redis_servers.

18JH/01 Replace the store_release() internal interface with store_newblock(),

29JH/04 Bug 2217: Tighten up the parsing of DKIM signature headers. Previously
30 we assumed that tags in the header were well-formed, and parsed the
31 element content after inspecting only the first char of the tag.
32 Assumptions at that stage could crash the receive process on malformed
33 input.

35JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
36 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
37 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
38 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
39 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
40 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
41 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
42 Main pool for expansions.
43 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
44 active in the testsuite.
45 Problem spotted, and debugging aided, by Wolfgang Breyha.

47JH/06 Fix issue with continued-connections when the DNS shifts unreliably.
48 When none of the hosts presented to a transport match an already-open
49 connection, close it and proceed with the list. Previously we would
50 queue the message. Spotted by Lena with Yahoo, probably involving
51 round-robin DNS.

74 multiple onward connections in sequence, handling cutthrough connection
75 for all multi-message initiating connections.

81JH/14 Bug 2174: A timeout on connect for a callout was also erroneously seen as
82 a timeout on read on a GnuTLS initiating connection, resulting in the

84 was marked defer_ok. Fix to keep the two timeout-detection methods
85 separate.

156JH/01 Rework error string handling in TLS interface so that the caller in

JH
167JH/03 Rework the transport continued-connection mechanism: when TLS is active,
168 do not close it down and have the child transport start it up again on
169 the passed-on TCP connection. Instead, proxy the child (and any
170 subsequent ones) for TLS via a unix-domain socket channel. Logging is
171 affected: the continued delivery log lines do not have any DNSSEC, TLS
5013d912 172 Certificate or OCSP information. TLS cipher information is still logged.

185JH/06 Default openssl_options to include +no_ticket, to reduce load on peers.
186 Disable the session-cache too, which might reduce our load. Since we
187 currrectly use a new context for every connection, both as server and
188 client, there is no benefit for these.
189 GnuTLS appears to not support tickets server-side by default (we don't
190 call gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server()) but client side is enabled
191 by default on recent versions (3.1.3 +) unless the PFS priority string
192 is used (3.2.4 +).

204JH/09 Avoid using a temporary file during transport using dkim. Unless a

213JH/11 Bug 2104: Fix continued use of a transport connection with TLS. In the
214 case where the routing stage had gathered several addresses to send to
215 a host before calling the transport for the first, we previously failed
216 to close down TLS in the old transport process before passing the TCP
217 connection to the new process. The new one sent a STARTTLS command
218 which naturally failed, giving a failed delivery and bloating the retry
219 database. Investigation and fix prototype from Wolfgang Breyha.
220
40525d07
JH
221JH/12 Fix check on SMTP command input synchronisation. Previously there were
222 false-negatives in the check that the sender had not preempted a response
223 or prompt from Exim (running as a server), due to that code's lack of
a5ffa9b4 224 awareness of the SMTP input buffering.
40525d07 225
f33875c3
PP
226PP/04 Add commandline_checks_require_admin option.
227 Exim drops privileges sanely, various checks such as -be aren't a
228 security problem, as long as you trust local users with access to their
229 own account. When invoked by services which pass untrusted data to
230 Exim, this might be an issue. Set this option in main configuration
231 AND make fixes to the calling application, such as using `--` to stop
232 processing options.
233
a5ffa9b4
JH
234JH/13 Do pipelining under TLS. Previously, although safe, no advantage was
235 taken. Now take care to pack both (client) MAIL,RCPT,DATA, and (server)
236 responses to those, into a single TLS record each way (this usually means
237 a single packet). As a side issue, smtp_enforce_sync now works on TLS
238 connections.

474JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
475 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
476 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
477 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
478 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
479 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
480 if one fails this test.
481 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
482 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

1296TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1297
1298 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1299 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1300 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1301 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1302 the retry rules.
1303
1304 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1305 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1306 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1307
1308 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1309 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1310 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1311 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1312
1ddeb334
TF
1313 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1314 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1315 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1316 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1317 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1318 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1319 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1320
1321 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1322 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

1332 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the

1362 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.

1644TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1645 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1646 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1647
1648 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1649 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1650 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1651 not safe for signals.
1652
1653 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1654 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1655 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1656 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1657 exiwhat.
1658
c99ce5c9
TF
1659TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1660
1661 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1662 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1663 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1664 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 1665 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
1666
1667 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1668 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1669 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1670 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1671 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1672 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1673
1674 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1675 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1676 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1677 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1678
1679 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1680 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1681 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1682 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1683
1684 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1685 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1686 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1687 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1688 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1689 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1690 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1691 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1692 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1693
1694 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1695 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1696 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1697 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1698
1699 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1700 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1701 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1702 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1703 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1704 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1705 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1706 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1707 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1708 details in the main documentation.

2259 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

2279
2280PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2281
6a3bceb1
PH
2282PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2283 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2284 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2285 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2286 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2287 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2288 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2289 for iplsearch lookups.
2290
2291 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2292 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2293 previously such lookups could never work.
2294
4c04137d 2295 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2296 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2297 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

2302MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2303 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2304 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2305 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2306 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2307 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

2312MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2313 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a

2315 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that

2500PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2501 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

2503 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2504 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2505 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2506 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
2580 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2581 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2582 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2583 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2584 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2585 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2586 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2587 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2598PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2599 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2600
2601 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2602 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2603
2604 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2605 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2606 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2607
2608 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2609 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2610 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2611 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2612 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2629 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

PH
2656PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2657 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2658 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2659 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2660 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2661 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2662 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2663 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2664 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2665 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2666 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2700PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
2701 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
2702 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2703 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2704 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2705 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2706 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2707 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 2709PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 2710 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2711 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2712 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2713 function.
2714 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2715 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2716 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2717 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2718 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2719 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2720 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2721 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2722 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2727PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2728 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2729 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2730 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2731 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2732 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2733 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2734 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2739
322050c2
PH
2740PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2741 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2742 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2743 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2744 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2745 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2746 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2747 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2748 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2749 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2750 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2751 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2752 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
2754PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2755 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2756 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2757 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2758 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2759 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2760 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2762PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2763 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2764 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2765 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2766 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2767 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2768 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2769 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2770 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2771 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

602e59e5
PH
2773PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2774 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2775 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2776 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2777 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2779PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2780 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2781 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2782 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2783 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2784 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2785 RSA_EXPORT functionality.
2786
7befa435
PH
2787PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
2788 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
2789 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
2790 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2791 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2792 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2793 been verified.

2824
2825PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2826 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2827 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2828 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2829 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2830 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2831 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2832 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2833 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2834
2835 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2836 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2837 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2838 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2839 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2840 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2841 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2842 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2843 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2844
2845 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2846 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2847 hammering the server.

2862PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2863 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

2865 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2866 fails.
2867
48c7f9e2
PH
2868PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2869 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2870 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2871 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 2872 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
2873 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2874 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2875 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2876 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2877 smtp transport.

3130 However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by

3132 lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a
3133 one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected.

3145PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
3146 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
3147 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3148 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3149 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3150 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3151 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3152 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3153 451 error is used.

3175PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
3176 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
3177 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
3178 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
3179 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
3180 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
3181 processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

3186Exim version 4.61
3187-----------------
3188
3189PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3190 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3191 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3192 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3193 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3194 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3195 addresses as local.

3204 lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
3205 invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
3206 newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
3207 grumble.

3235PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
3236 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3237 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3238 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3239 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3240 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3241 bounce message.
