JH
6Exim version 4.93
7-----------------
8
8a40db1c
JH
9JH/01 OpenSSL: With debug enabled output keying information sufficient, server
10 side, to decode a TLS 1.3 packet capture.
40ed89b3 11
fc243e94 12JH/02 OpenSSL: Suppress the sending of (stateful) TLS1.3 session tickets.
d7f31bb6
JH
13 Previously the default library behaviour applied, sending two, each in
14 its own TCP segment.
15
897024f1
JH
16JH/03 Debug output for ACL now gives the config file name and line number for
17 each verb.
18
f1be21cf
JH
19JH/04 The default received_header_text now uses the RFC 8314 tls cipher clause.
20
fe12ec88
JH
21JH/05 DKIM: ensure that dkim_domain elements are lowercased before use.
22
05bf16f6
JH
23JH/06 Fix buggy handling of autoreply bounce_return_size_limit, and a possible
24 buffer overrun for (non-chunking) other transports.
25
fc243e94
JH
26JH/07 GnuTLS: Our use of late (post-handshake) certificate verification, under
27 TLS1.3, means that a server rejecting a client certificate is not visible
28 to the client until the first read of encrypted data (typically the
29 response to EHLO). Add detection for that case and treat it as a failed
30 TLS connection attempt, so that the normal retry-in-clear can work (if
31 suitably configured).
32
c05bdbd6 33JB/01 Bug 2375: fix expansions of 822 addresses having comments in local-part
e2ff8e24
JB
34 and/or domain. Found and fixed by Jason Betts.
35
14bc9cf0
JH
36JH/08 Add hardening against SRV & TLSA lookups the hit CNAMEs (a nonvalid
37 configuration). If a CNAME target was not a wellformed name pattern, a
38 crash could result.
39
254f38d1
JH
40JH/09 Logging: Fix initial listening-on line for multiple ports for an IP when
41 the OS reports them interleaved with other addresses.
42
c09dbcfb
JH
43JH/10 OpenSSL: Fix aggregation of messages. Previously, when PIPELINING was
44 used both for input and for a verify callout, both encrypted, SMTP
45 responses being sent by the server could be lost. This resulted in
46 dropped connections and sometimes bounces generated by a peer sending
47 to this system.
254f38d1 48
f9fc9427
JH
49JH/11 Harden plaintext authenticator against a badly misconfigured client-send
50 string. Previously it was possible to cause undefined behaviour in a
51 library routine (usually a crash). Found by "zerons".
52
e6024a5e
JH
53JH/12 Bug 2384: fix "-bP smtp_receive_timeout". Previously it returned no
54 output.
55
1fbf41cd
JH
56JH/13 Bug 2386: Fix builds with Dane under LibreSSL 2.9.0 onward. Some old
57 API was removed, so update to use the newer ones.
58
3c55eef2 59JH/14 Bug 1891: Close the log file if receiving a non-smtp message, without
00c0dd4e 60 any timeout set, is taking a long time. Previously we would hang on to a
3c55eef2
JH
61 rotated logfile "forever" if the input was arriving with long gaps
62 (a previous attempt to fix addressed lack, for a long time, of initial
63 input).
64
cb80814d
HSHR
65HS/01 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
66 shared (NFS) environment. The length of the tempfile name is now
67 4 + 16 ("hdr.$message_exim_id") which might break on file
68 systems which restrict the file name length to lower values.
69 (It was "hdr.$pid".)
70
7d8d08c4 71HS/02 Bug 2390: Use message_id for tempfile creation to avoid races in a
82a996b1
HSHR
72 shared (NFS) environment.
73
7d8d08c4 74HS/03 Bug 2392: exigrep does case sensitive *option* processing (as it
82a996b1
HSHR
75 did for all versions <4.90). Notably -M, -m, --invert, -I may be
76 affected.
77
bd83c6f9
JH
78JH/15 Use unsigned when creating bitmasks in macros, to avoid build errors
79 on some platforms for bit 31.
80
d9acfc1c
JH
81JH/16 GnuTLS: rework ciphersuite strings under recent library versions. Thanks
82 to changes apparently associated with TLS1.3 handling some of the APIs
83 previously used were either nonfunctional or inappropriate. Strings
84 like TLS1.3:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_PSS_RSAE_SHA256__AES_256_GCM__AEAD:256
85 and TLS1.2:ECDHE_SECP256R1__RSA_SHA256__AES_128_CBC__SHA256:128 replace
86 the previous TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 .
87 This affects log line X= elements, the $tls_{in,out}_cipher variables,
88 and the use of specific cipher names in the encrypted= ACL condition.
89
b10c87b3
JH
90JH/17 OpenSSL: the default openssl_options now disables ssl_v3.
91
7a501c87
JH
92JH/18 GnuTLS: fix $tls_out_ocsp under hosts_request_ocsp. Previously the
93 verification result was not updated unless hosts_require_ocsp applied.
94
e5903596
JH
95JH/19 Bug 2398: fix listing of a named-queue. Previously, even with the option
96 queue_list_requires_admin set to false, non-admin users were denied the
97 facility.
98
12d95aa6
JH
99JH/20 Bug 2389: fix server advertising of usable certificates, under GnuTLS in
100 directory-of-certs mode. Previously they were advertised despite the
101 documentation.
102
96eb7d2a
JH
103JH/21 The smtp transport option "hosts_noproxy_tls" is now unset by default.
104 A single TCP connection by a client will now hold a TLS connection open
105 for multiple message deliveries, by default. Previoud the default was to
106 not do so.
107
59c0959a 108JH/22 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_dane" now enables all hosts by
01603eec
JH
109 default. If built with the facility, DANE will be used. The facility
110 SUPPORT_DANE is now enabled in the prototype build Makefile "EDITME".
111
112JH/23 The build default is now for TLS to be included; the SUPPORT_TLS define
de517fd3
JH
113 is replaced with DISABLE_TLS. Either USE_GNUTLS or (the new) USE_OPENSSL
114 must be defined and you must still, unless you define DISABLE_TLS, manage
115 the the include-dir and library-file requirements that go with that
116 choice. Non-TLS builds are still supported.
59c0959a 117
48519cef
JH
118JH/24 Fix duplicated logging of peer name/address, on a transport connection-
119 reject under TFO.
96eb7d2a 120
efad2f41 121JH/25 The smtp transport option "hosts_try_fastopen" now enables all hosts by
4e48d56c 122 default. If the platform supports and has the facility enabled, it will
efad2f41
JH
123 be requested on all coneections.
124
4e48d56c
JH
125JH/26 The PIPE_CONNECT facility is promoted from experimental status and is now
126 controlled by the build-time option SUPPORT_PIPE_CONNECT.
127
6ee11061 128PP/01 Unbreak heimdal_gssapi, broken in 4.92.
0a5441fc 129
87abcb24
JH
130JH/27 Bug 2404: Use the main-section configuration option "dsn_from" for
131 success-DSN messages. Previously the From: header was always the default
132 one for these; the option was ignored.
6ee11061 133
0a5441fc
JH
134JH/28 Fix the timeout on smtp response to apply to the whole response.
135 Previously it was reset for every read, so a teergrubing peer sending
136 single bytes within the time limit could extend the connection for a
137 long time. Credit to Qualsys Security Advisory Team for the discovery.
138
436bda2a
JH
139JH/29 Fix DSN Final-Recipient: field. Previously it was the post-routing
140 delivery address, which leaked information of the results of local
141 forwarding. Change to the original envelope recipient address, per
142 standards.
143
df98a6ff
JH
144JH/30 Bug 2411: Fix DSN generation when RFC 3461 failure notification is
145 requested. Previously not bounce was generated and a log entry of
146 error ignored was made.
147
21aa0597
JH
148JH/31 Avoid re-expansion in ${sort } expansion. (CVE-2019-13917)
149
f3ebb786
JH
150JH/32 Introduce a general tainting mechanism for values read from the input
151 channel, and values derived from them. Refuse to expand any tainted
152 values, to catch one form of exploit.
153
9fa4d5b4
RJ
154JH/33 Bug 2413: Fix dkim_strict option. Previously the expansion result
155 was unused and the unexpanded text used for the test. Found and
156 fixed by Ruben Jenster.
157
bd231acd
JH
158JH/34 Fix crash after TLS shutdown. When the TCP/SMTP channel was left open,
159 an attempt to use a TLS library read routine dereffed a nul pointer,
160 causing a segfault.
161
7b564712
JH
162JH/35 Bug 2409: filter out-of-spec chars from callout response before using
163 them in our smtp response.
164
9c6881f8 165JH/36 Have the general router option retry_use_local_part default to true when
dbbf21a7
JH
166 any of the restrictive preconditions are set (to anything). Previously it
167 was only for check_local user. The change removes one item of manual
168 configuration which is required for proper retries when a remote router
169 handles a subset of addresses for a domain.
170
9c6881f8
JH
171JH/37 Appendfile: when evaluating quota use (non-quota_size_regex) take the file
172 link count into consideration.
173
7d8d08c4
JH
174HS/04 Fix handling of very log lines in -H files. If a -<key> <value> line
175 caused the extension of big_buffer, the following lines were ignored.
176
177JH/38 Bug 1395: Teach the DNS negative-cache about TTL value from the SOA in
178 accordance with RFC 2308. Previously there was no expiry, so a longlived
179 receive process (eg. due to ACL delays) versus a short SOA value could
180 surprise.
181
c3aefacc
HSHR
182HS/05 Handle trailing backslash gracefully. (CVE-2019-15846)
183
1a2e76e1
JH
184JH/39 Promote DMARC support to mainline.
185
d6c829b9
JH
186JH/40 Bug 2452: Add a References: header to DSNs.
187
49132a3b
JH
188JH/41 With GnuTLS 3.6.0 (and later) do not attempt to manage Diffie-Hellman
189 parameters. The relevant library call is documented as "Deprecated: This
190 function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. Since
191 3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919."
192
ab0e957b 193HS/06 Change the default of dnssec_request_domains to "*"
40ed89b3 194
c5040dfd
JH
195JH/42 Bug 2545: Fix CHUNKING for all RCPT commands rejected. Previously we
196 carried on and emitted a BDAT command, even when PIPELINING was not
197 active.
198
199
d99f54e4
JH
200Exim version 4.92
201-----------------
202
9723f966
JH
203JH/01 Remove code calling the customisable local_scan function, unless a new
204 definition "HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes" is present in the Local/Makefile.
205
206JH/02 Bug 1007: Avoid doing logging from signal-handlers, as that can result in
64b67b65
JH
207 non-signal-safe functions being used.
208
209JH/03 Bug 2269: When presented with a received message having a stupidly large
210 number of DKIM-Signature headers, disable DKIM verification to avoid
211 a resource-consumption attack. The limit is set at twenty.
9723f966 212
ea7b1f16
JH
213JH/04 Add variables $arc_domains, $arc_oldest_pass for ARC verify. Fix the
214 report of oldest_pass in ${authres } in consequence, and separate out
215 some descriptions of reasons for verification fail.
216
cfbb0d24
JH
217JH/05 Bug 2273: Cutthrough delivery left a window where the received messsage
218 files in the spool were present and unlocked. A queue-runner could spot
219 them, resulting in a duplicate delivery. Fix that by doing the unlock
0488984d
JH
220 after the unlink. Investigation by Tim Stewart. Take the opportunity to
221 add more error-checking on spoolfile handling while that code is being
cfbb0d24
JH
222 messed with.
223
85defcf0
PP
224PP/01 Refuse to open a spool data file (*-D) if it's a symlink.
225 No known attacks, no CVE, this is defensive hardening.
226
1bd642c2
JH
227JH/06 Bug 2275: The MIME ACL unlocked the received message files early, and
228 a queue-runner could start a delivery while other operations were ongoing.
229 Cutthrough delivery was a common victim, resulting in duplicate delivery.
230 Found and investigated by Tim Stewart. Fix by using the open message data
231 file handle rather than opening another, and not locally closing it (which
232 releases a lock) for that case, while creating the temporary .eml format
233 file for the MIME ACL. Also applies to "regex" and "spam" ACL conditions.
234
2ddb4094
JH
235JH/07 Bug 177: Make a random-recipient callout success visible in ACL, by setting
236 $sender_verify_failure/$recipient_verify_failure to "random".
237
1613fd68
JH
238JH/08 When generating a selfsigned cert, use serial number 1 since zero is not
239 legitimate.
240
e6057245
JH
241JH/09 Bug 2274: Fix logging of cmdline args when starting in an unlinked cwd.
242 Previously this would segfault.
243
7b9822bf
JH
244JH/10 Fix ARC signing for case when DKIM signing failed. Previously this would
245 segfault.
246
d8d9f930
JH
247JH/11 Bug 2264: Exim now only follows CNAME chains one step by default. We'd
248 like zero, since the resolver should be doing this for us, But we need one
249 as a CNAME but no MX presence gets the CNAME returned; we need to check
250 that doesn't point to an MX to declare it "no MX returned" rather than
251 "error, loop". A new main option is added so the older capability of
252 following some limited number of chain links is maintained.
253
61e3f250
JH
254JH/12 Add client-ip info to non-pass iprev ${authres } lines.
255
7a8b9519
JH
256JH/13 For receent Openssl versions (1.1 onward) use modern generic protocol
257 methods. These should support TLS 1.3; they arrived with TLS 1.3 and the
258 now-deprecated earlier definitions used only specified the range up to TLS
259 1.2 (in the older-version library docs).
260
49e56fb3
JH
261JH/14 Bug 2284: Fix DKIM signing for body lines starting with a pair of dots.
262
74f1a423
JH
263JH/15 Rework TLS client-side context management. Stop using a global, and
264 explicitly pass a context around. This enables future use of TLS for
265 connections to service-daemons (eg. malware scanning) while a client smtp
266 connection is using TLS; with cutthrough connections this is quite likely.
267
5054c4fd 268JH/16 Fix ARC verification to do AS checks in reverse order.
611b1961
JH
269
270JH/17 Support a "tls" option on the ${readsocket } expansion item.
5054c4fd 271
946515bf
JH
272JH/18 Bug 2287: Fix the protocol name (eg utf8esmtp) for multiple messages
273 using the SMTPUTF8 option on their MAIL FROM commands, in one connection.
274 Previously the "utf8" would be re-prepended for every additional message.
275
8c34c611
JH
276JH/19 Reject MAIL FROM commands with SMTPUTF8 when the facility was not advertised.
277 Previously thery were accepted, resulting in issues when attempting to
278 forward messages to a non-supporting MTA.
279
1bca4f5f
PP
280PP/02 Let -n work with printing macros too, not just options.
281
8a6b4e02
JH
282JH/20 Bug 2296: Fix cutthrough for >1 address redirection. Previously only
283 one parent address was copied, and bogus data was used at delivery-logging
284 time. Either a crash (after delivery) or bogus log data could result.
285 Discovery and analysis by Tim Stewart.
286
0a682b6c
PP
287PP/03 Make ${utf8clean:} expansion operator detect incomplete final character.
288 Previously if the string ended mid-character, we did not insert the
289 promised '?' replacement.
290
c2c451ac
PP
291PP/04 Documentation: current string operators work on bytes, not codepoints.
292
8768d548
JH
293JH/21 Change as many as possible of the global flags into one-bit bitfields; these
294 should pack well giving a smaller memory footprint so better caching and
295 therefore performance. Group the declarations where this can't be done so
296 that the byte-sized flag variables are not interspersed among pointer
297 variables, giving a better chance of good packing by the compiler.
298
5455f548
JH
299JH/22 Bug 1896: Fix the envelope from for DMARC forensic reports to be possibly
300 non-null, to avoid issues with sites running BATV. Previously reports were
301 sent with an empty envelope sender so looked like bounces.
302
25beaee4
MK
303JH/23 Bug 2318: Fix the noerror command within filters. It wasn't working.
304 The ignore_error flag wasn't being returned from the filter subprocess so
305 was not set for later routers. Investigation and fix by Matthias Kurz.
306
7ea1237c 307JH/24 Bug 2310: Raise a msg:fail:internal event for each undelivered recipient,
570cb1bd 308 and a msg:complete for the whole, when a message is manually removed using
7ea1237c
MK
309 -Mrm. Developement by Matthias Kurz, hacked on by JH.
310
ebda598a
JH
311JH/25 Avoid fixed-size buffers for pathnames in DB access. This required using
312 a "Gnu special" function, asprintf() in the DB utility binary builds; I
313 hope that is portable enough.
314
570cb1bd
JH
315JH/26 Bug 2311: Fix DANE-TA verification under GnuTLS. Previously it was also
316 requiring a known-CA anchor certificate; make it now rely entirely on the
317 TLSA as an anchor. Checking the name on the leaf cert against the name
318 on the A-record for the host is still done for TA (but not for EE mode).
319
eb58ddf5
JH
320JH/27 Fix logging of proxy address. Previously, a pointless "PRX=[]:0" would be
321 included in delivery lines for non-proxied connections, when compiled with
322 SUPPORT_SOCKS and running with proxy logging enabled.
323
ffbc20ed
MK
324JH/28 Bug 2314: Fire msg:fail:delivery event even when error is being ignored.
325 Developement by Matthias Kurz, tweaked by JH. While in that bit of code,
326 move the existing event to fire before the normal logging of message
327 failure so that custom logging is bracketed by normal logging.
328
4e928780
MK
329JH/29 Bug 2322: A "fail" command in a non-system filter (file) now fires the
330 msg:fail:internal event. Developement by Matthias Kurz.
331
75c121f0 332JH/30 Bug 2329: Increase buffer size used for dns lookup from 2k, which was
059f2ace 333 far too small for todays use of crypto signatures stored there. Go all
75c121f0
JH
334 the way to the max DNS message size of 64kB, even though this might be
335 overmuch for IOT constrained device use.
336
e30f4f43
JH
337JH/31 Fix a bad use of a copy function, which could be used to pointlessly
338 copy a string over itself. The library routine is documented as not
339 supporting overlapping copies, and on MacOS it actually raised a SIGABRT.
340
a45431fa
JH
341JH/32 For main options check_spool_space and check_inode_space, where the
342 platform supports 64b integers, support more than the previous 2^31 kB
343 (i.e. more than 2 TB). Accept E, P and T multipliers in addition to
344 the previous G, M, k.
345
c0fb53b7
JH
346JH/33 Bug 2338: Fix the cyrus-sasl authenticator to fill in the
347 $authenticated_fail_id variable on authentication failure. Previously
348 it was unset.
349
6aac3239
JH
350JH/34 Increase RSA keysize of autogen selfsign cert from 1024 to 2048. RHEL 8.0
351 OpenSSL didn't want to use such a weak key. Do for GnuTLS also, and for
352 more-modern GnuTLS move from GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_LOW to
353 GNUTLS_SEC_PARAM_MEDIUM.
354
5a2a0989
JH
355JH/35 OpenSSL: fail the handshake when SNI processing hits a problem, server
356 side. Previously we would continue as if no SNI had been received.
357
de6f74f2 358JH/36 Harden the handling of string-lists. When a list consisted of a sole
b72f857f
JH
359 "<" character, which should be a list-separator specification, we walked
360 off past the nul-terimation.
361
de6f74f2
JH
362JH/37 Bug 2341: Send "message delayed" warning MDNs (restricted to external
363 causes) even when the retry time is not yet met. Previously they were
364 not, meaning that when (say) an account was over-quota and temp-rejecting,
365 and multiple senders' messages were queued, only one sender would get
366 notified on each configured delay_warning cycle.
367
aa6e77af 368JH/38 Bug 2351: Log failures to extract envelope addresses from message headers.
aaf3e414 369
25fa0868
JH
370JH/39 OpenSSL: clear the error stack after an SSL_accept(). With anon-auth
371 cipher-suites, an error can be left on the stack even for a succeeding
372 accept; this results in impossible error messages when a later operation
373 actually does fail.
374
cb6bd80f
JH
375AM/01 Bug 2359: GnuTLS: repeat lowlevel read and write operations while they
376 return error codes indicating retry. Under TLS1.3 this becomes required.
377
378JH/40 Fix the feature-cache refresh for EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT. Previously
379 it only wrote the new authenticators, resulting in a lack of tracking of
380 peer changes of ESMTP extensions until the next cache flush.
518b70e9 381
56ac062a
JH
382JH/41 Fix the loop reading a message header line to check for integer overflow,
383 and more-often against header_maxsize. Previously a crafted message could
384 induce a crash of the recive process; now the message is cleanly rejected.

394 When redis_servers is set to a list of > 1 element, and the Redis servers
395 in that list are in cluster configuration, convert the REDIS_REPLY_ERROR
396 case of MOVED into a DEFER case instead, thus moving the query onto the

398 be defined in redis_servers.

420JH/05 Bug 2215: Fix crash associated with dnsdb lookup done from DKIM ACL.
421 While running the DKIM ACL we operate on the Permanent memory pool so that
422 variables created with "set" persist to the DATA ACL. Also (at any time)
423 DNS lookups that fail create cache records using the Permanent pool. But
424 expansions release any allocations made on the current pool - so a dnsdb
425 lookup expansion done in the DKIM ACL releases the memory used for the
426 DNS negative-cache, and bad things result. Solution is to switch to the
427 Main pool for expansions.
428 While we're in that code, add checks on the DNS cache during store_reset,
429 active in the testsuite.

537JH/29 Bug 2250: Fix a longstanding bug in heavily-pipelined SMTP input (such
538 as a multi-recipient message from a mailinglist manager). The coding had
539 an arbitrary cutoff number of characters while checking for more input;
540 enforced by writing a NUL into the buffer. This corrupted long / fast
541 input. The problem was exposed more widely when more pipelineing of SMTP
542 responses was introduced, and one Exim system was feeding another.
543 The symptom is log complaints of SMTP syntax error (NUL chars) on the
544 receiving system, and refused recipients seen by the sending system
545 (propating to people being dropped from mailing lists).

923 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)

925 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
926 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
927 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
928 if one fails this test.

1744TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
1745
1746 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
1747 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
1748 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
1749 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
1750 the retry rules.
1751
1752 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
1753 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
1754 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
1755
1756 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
1757 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
1758 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
1759 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
1760
1ddeb334
TF
1761 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
1762 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
1763 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
1764 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
1765 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
1766 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
1767 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
1768
1769 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
1770 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

2092TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
2093 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
2094 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
2095
2096 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
2097 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
2098 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
2099 not safe for signals.
2100
2101 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
2102 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
2103 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
2104 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
2105 exiwhat.
2106
c99ce5c9
TF
2107TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
2108
2109 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
2110 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
2111 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
2112 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
4c04137d 2113 means that when you upgrade Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
c99ce5c9
TF
2114
2115 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
2116 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
2117 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
2118 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
2119 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
2120 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
2121
2122 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
2123 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
2124 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
2125 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
2126
2127 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
2128 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
2129 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
2130 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
2131
2132 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
2133 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
2134 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
2135 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
2136 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
2137 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
2138 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
2139 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
2140 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
2141
2142 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
2143 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
2144 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
2145 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
2146
2147 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
2148 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
2149 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
2150 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
2151 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
2152 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
2153 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
2154 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
2155 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
2156 details in the main documentation.

2706 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
2707 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
2708 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
2709 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
2710 build errors in sieve.c.

2727
2728PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
2729
6a3bceb1
PH
2730PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
2731 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
2732 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
2733 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
2734 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
2735 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
2736 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
2737 for iplsearch lookups.
2738
2739 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
2740 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
2741 previously such lookups could never work.
2742
4c04137d 2743 The situation is now rather anomalous, since one *can* have colons in
6a3bceb1
PH
2744 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
2745 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
2750MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
2751 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
2752 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
2753 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
2754 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
2755 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

0f2cbd1b
MH
2760MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
2761 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
2762 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
2763 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
2764 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
2765 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

PH
2838PH/02 In an ACL statement such as
2839
2840 deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
2841
2842 if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
2843 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
2844 the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
2845 The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second
2846 item. This has been fixed.

2870PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of

MH

2943PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct
2944 in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the

2947
a14e5636
PH
2948PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
2949 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
2950 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
2951 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
2952 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
2953 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
2954 pipelining has not been advertised.

58c01c94
PH
2966PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
2967 Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
2968 SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
2969 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
2970 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
2971 changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
2972 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

3000PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of
3001 whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was
3002 behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
3003 started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
3004 calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
3005 uses the Exim user.

3009 sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
3010 with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
3011 RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
3012 intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their

PH
3028 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
3029 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
3030 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
3031 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
3032 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
3033 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
3034 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 3035 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

3051
3052 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
3053 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
3054 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
3055
3056 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
3057 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
3058 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
3059 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
3060 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

3077 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
3078 (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit

3085TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
3086 leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).

PH
3104PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
3105 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
3106 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
3107 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
3108 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
3109 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
3110 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
3111 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
3112 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
3113 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
3114 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

3148PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

3150 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
3151 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
3152 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
3153 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
3154 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
3155 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 3158 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
3159 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
3160 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
3161 function.
3162 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
3163 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
3164 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
3165 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
3166 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
3167 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
3168 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
3169 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
3170 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

3176 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
3177 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
3178 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
3179 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
3180 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
3181 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
3182 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

3185 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

3187
322050c2
PH
3188PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
3189 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
3190 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
3191 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
3192 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
3193 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
3194 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
3195 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
3196 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
3197 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
3198 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
3199 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
3200 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

3202PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
3203 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
3204 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
3205 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
3206 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
3207 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
3208 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
3210PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
3211 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
3212 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
3213 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
3214 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
3215 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
3216 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
3217 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
3218 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
3219 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
3221PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
3222 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
3223 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
3224 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
3225 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
3227PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
3228 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
3229 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
3230 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
3231 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
3232 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
3233 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

3236 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data

3238 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
3239 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
3240 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
3241 been verified.

PH
3272
3273PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
3274 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
3275 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
3276 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
3277 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
3278 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
3279 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
3280 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
3281 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
3282
3283 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
3284 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
3285 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
3286 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
3287 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
3288 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
3289 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
3290 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
3291 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
3292
3293 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
3294 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
3295 hammering the server.

3311 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

3313 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
3314 fails.

48c7f9e2
PH
3316PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
3317 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
3318 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
3319 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
4c04137d 3320 things. In particular, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
48c7f9e2
PH
3321 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
3322 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
3323 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
3324 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
3325 smtp transport.

3439Exim version 4.63
3440-----------------
3441
3442SC/01 Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in eximstats generated
3443 parser. This improves both readability and performance.
3444
3445SC/02 Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics in eximstats.
3446 Don't display local sender or destination tables in eximstats unless
3447 there is data to show.
3448 Added average volumes into the eximstats top table text output.
3449
3450SC/03 Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients) as well
3451 as the number of messages in eximstats.

3453TF/01 Correct an error in the documentation for the redirect router. Exim
3454 does (usually) call initgroups() when daemonizing.

TF
3465TF/05 Make it easier to get SMTP authentication and TLS/SSL support working
3466 by adding some example configuration directives to the default
3467 configuration file. A little bit of work is required to uncomment the
3468 directives and define how usernames and passwords are checked, but
3469 there is now a framework to start from.
3470
765b530f
PH
3471PH/01 Added #define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1 to ldap.c because some of the "old"
3472 functions that Exim currently uses aren't defined in ldap.h for OpenLDAP
3473 without this. I don't know how relevant this is to other LDAP libraries.

3488PH/06 Added acl_not_smtp_start, based on Johannes Berg's patch, and set the
3489 bit to forbid control=suppress_local_fixups in the acl_not_smtp ACL,
3490 because it is too late at that time, and has no effect.

PH
3492PH/07 Changed ${quote_pgsql to quote ' as '' instead of \' because of a
3493 security issue with \' (bugzilla #107). I could not use the
3494 PQescapeStringConn() function, because it needs a PGconn value as one of
3495 its arguments.

dbcef0ea
PH
3497PH/08 When testing addresses using -bt, indicate those final addresses that
3498 are duplicates that would not cause an additional delivery. At least one
3499 person was confused, thinking that -bt output corresponded to deliveries.

3501 about possibly different redirections that led to the duplicates.)

PH
3568PH/24 Re-jigged the order of the tests in the default configuration so that the

PH
3572PH/25 Exim was not testing for a space following SMTP commands such as EHLO

3575 0.12.

PH
3577PH/26 (n)wildlsearch lookups are documented as being done case-insensitively.
3578 However, an attempt to turn on case-sensitivity in a regex key by
3579 including (?-i) didn't work because the subject string was already
3580 lowercased, and the effects were non-intuitive. It turns out that a
3581 one-line patch can be used to allow (?-i) to work as expected.

afb3eaaf
PH
3593PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
3594 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
3595 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
3596 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
3597 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
3598 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
3599 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
3600 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
3601 451 error is used.

3617PH/07 The appendfile transport was creating MBX lock files with a fixed mode

PH
3623PH/09 If maildir_quota_directory_regex was set to exclude (say) the .Trash
3624 folder from quota calculations, a direct delivery into this folder messed
3625 up the contents of the maildirsize file. This was because the regex was
3626 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
3627 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an
3628 excluded directory. This bug has been fixed by ignoring all quota
3629 processing for deliveries into excluded directories.

3634Exim version 4.61
3635-----------------
3636
3637PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
3638 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
3639 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
3640 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
3641 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
3642 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
3643 addresses as local.
3644
f9daeae0
PH
3645PH/02 The ipliteral router was not recognizing addresses of the form user@
3646 [ipv6:....] because it didn't know about the "ipv6:" prefix.

PH
3650PH/04 Changed $reply_address to use the raw form of the headers instead of the
3651 decoded form, because it is most often used to construct To: headers
3652 lines in autoreplies, and the decoded form may well be syntactically
3653 invalid. However, $reply_address has leading white space removed, and all
3654 newlines turned into spaces so that the autoreply transport does not
3655 grumble.

PH
3683PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
3684 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
3685 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
3686 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
3687 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
3688 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
3689 bounce message.

PH
3698PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was
3699 compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always

3701 literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.

PH
3703PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
3704 used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
3705 ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
3706 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
3707 changes:
3708
3709 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
3710 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
4c04137d 3711 suitable debugging output when -d is set.
59e82a2a
PH
3712
3713 (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,
3714 outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs
3715 the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.

PH
3720PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
3721 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
3722 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
3723 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
3724 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
3725 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
3726 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
3727 values from the SRV records were lost.
3728
ea49d0e1
PH
3729PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not
3730 using the correct key (the original address) when searching the retry
3731 rules in order to find which one to use for generating the retry hint.
3732
064a94c9
PH
3733PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from
3734 adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the
3735 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
3736
727071f8
PH
3737PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
3738 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
3739 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
3740 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
3741 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
3742 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
3743 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
3744 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
3745 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
3842PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
3843 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
3844 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
3845 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
3846 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
3847 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
3848 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
3849 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
3850 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
3851 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.

3862 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
3863 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
3864 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the

3886PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
3887 used in LMTP mode:
3888
3889 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
3890 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
3891 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
3892 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
3893
3894 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
3895 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
3896 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
3897
3898PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
3899 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
3900 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
3901 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
3902 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

3972PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3973 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3974 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3975 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3976 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3977 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3978 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3979 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3980 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3981 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3982 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

4005
4006 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty

4008
4009 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
4010 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
4011 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
4012 silly things.
4013
4014 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
4015 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

4038PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
4039 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
4040 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
4041 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
4042 identical. For example:
4043
4044 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
4045
4046 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
4047 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
4048 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

4139 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
4140 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
4141 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
4142 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
4143 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
4144 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
4145 the text comparison.

4444 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
4c04137d 4445 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assuming that macro definitions were

4452 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
4453 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
4454 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

4620TK/11 Domainkeys: Change the logic how the "testing" policy flag is retrieved
4621 from DNS. If the selector record carries the flag, it now has

4626PH/32 In mua_wrapper mode, if an smtp transport configuration error (such as
4627 the use of a port name that isn't defined in /etc/services) occurred, the
4628 message was deferred as in a normal delivery, and thus remained on the
4629 spool, instead of being failed because of the mua_wrapper setting. This
4630 is now fixed, and I tidied up some of the mua_wrapper messages at the
4631 same time.

4633SC/08 Eximstats: whilst parsing the mainlog(s), store information about
4634 the messages in a hash of arrays rather than using individual hashes.
4635 This is a bit cleaner and results in dramatic memory savings, albeit
4636 at a slight CPU cost.

4660PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
4661 to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
4662
4663PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
4664 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
4665 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
4666 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
4667 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
4668 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
4669 file.
4670
4671PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
4672 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
4673 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
4674 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
4675 these two options.
4676
4677PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
4678 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
4679 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
4680 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
4681 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
4682 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
4683 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 4684 address.
1a46a8c5
PH
4685
4686PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
4687 in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
4688
4689PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
4690 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
4691 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
4692 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
4693 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
4694 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
4695
4696PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
4697 defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
4698 commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
4699 SMTP commands that take arguments.

PH
4746PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
4747 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
4748 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
4749 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
4750 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
4751 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
4752 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
4753 for failure.

PH
4755PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
4756 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
4757 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
4758 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
4759 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
4760 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.

4771
c5ddb310
PH
4772PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
4773 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
4774 understands it better than I do:
4775
4776 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
4777 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
4778
4779 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
4780 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
4781 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
4782 => three warnings about OTP not working
4783 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
4784
4785 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
4786 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
4787 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
4788 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
4789 for each call.)
4790 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
4791 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
4792
4793 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
4794 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
4795 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

4831 . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established;

d7174846
PH
4859PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
4860 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
4861 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
4862 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
4863 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
4864 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
4865 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
4866
4867 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
4868 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
4869 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
4870 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
4871 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
4872
4873 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
4874 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
4875 routed further.

4880 connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
4881 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
4882 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

PH
4896PH/42 Exim no longer gives details of delivery errors for specific addresses in
4897 bounce and delay warning messages, except in certain special cases, which

4902 (c) A message specified in a "fail" command in a system filter;
4903 (d) A message specified in a FAIL return from the queryprogram router;
4904 (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
4905
4906 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
4907 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
4908 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

4916PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
4917 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
4918 writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
4919 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
4920 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
4921 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
4922 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
4923 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
4924 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
4925 the log output.

4934A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
4935----------------------------------------
4936
4937Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
4938changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
4939needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
4940in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
4941that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
4942release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
4943from 4.43.
4944
4945I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
49464.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
4947those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
4948historical information.

4966 5. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
4967 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
4968 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
4969 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
4970 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.

4974 7. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
4975 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
4976 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
4977 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.

5020
981756db
PH
502121. The rare case of EHLO->STARTTLS->HELO was setting the protocol to "smtp".
5022 It is now set to "smtps".
5023
d4eb88df
PH
502422. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5025 ignore_target_hosts.
5026
502723. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5028 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5029 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5030 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5031 "[x.x.x.x]".
5032
7d468ab8
PH
503324. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5034 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5035 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5036
503725. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5038 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5039 wake it up if nothing else does.
5040
62c0818f
PH
504126. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5042 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5043 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5044 end up negative.
5045
26034054
PH
504627. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5047 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5048
af66f652
PH
504928. Installed the latest version of exipick from John Jetmore.
5050
90af77f4
PH
505129. In an address list, if the pattern was not a regular expression, an empty
5052 subject address (from a bounce message) matched only if the pattern was an
5053 empty string. Non-empty patterns were not even tested. This was the wrong
5054 because it is perfectly reasonable to use an empty address as part of a
5055 database query. An empty address is now tested by patterns that are
5056 lookups. However, all the other forms of pattern expect the subject to
5057 contain a local part and a domain, and therefore, for them, an empty
5058 address still always fails if the pattern is not itself empty.
5059
d8ef3577
PH
506030. Exim went into a mad DNS loop when attempting to do a callout where the
5061 host was specified on an smtp transport, and looking it up yielded more
5062 than one IP address.
5063
5cb8cbc6
PH
506431. Re-factored the code for checking spool and log partition space into a
5065 function that finds that data and another that does the check. The former
5066 is then used to implement four new variables: $spool_space, $log_space,
5067 $spool_inodes, and $log_inodes.
5068
14702f5b
PH
506932. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5070 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5071 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5072 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5073 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5074 1024 to 2048 bytes.
5075
063b1e99
PH
507633. It is now permitted to omit both strings after an "if" condition; if the
5077 condition is true, the result is "true". As before, when the second string
5078 is omitted, a false condition yields an empty string. This makes it less
5079 cumbersome to write custom ACL and router conditions.
5080
652e1b65
PH
508134. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5082 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5083 respected.
5084
6f0c9a4f
PH
508535. If an IPv6 address is given for -bh or -bhc, it is now converted to the
5086 canonical form (fully expanded) before being placed in
5087 $sender_host_address.
5088
33397d19
PH
508936. The table in the code that translates DNS record types into text (T_A to
5090 "A" for instance) was missing entries for NS and CNAME. It is just possible
5091 that this could have caused confusion if both these types were looked up
5092 for the same domain, because the text type is used as part of Exim's
5093 per-process caching. But the chance of anyone hitting this buglet seems
5094 very small.
5095
7bb56e1f
PH
509637. The dnsdb lookup has been extended in a number of ways.
5097
5098 (1) There is a new type, "zns", which walks up the domain tree until it
5099 finds some nameserver records. It should be used with care.
5100
ea3bc19b
PH
5101 (2) There is a new type, "mxh", which is like "mx" except that it returns
5102 just the host names, not the priorities.
5103
5104 (3) It is now possible to give a list of domains (or IP addresses) to be
ff4dbb19
PH
5105 looked up. The behaviour when one of the lookups defers can be
5106 controlled by a keyword.
7bb56e1f 5107
ea3bc19b 5108 (4) It is now possible to specify the separator character for use when
7bb56e1f 5109 multiple records are returned.
33397d19 5110
0bcb2a0e
PH
511138. The dnslists ACL condition has been extended: it is now possible to supply
5112 a list of IP addresses and/or domains to be looked up in a particular DNS
5113 domain.
5114
2ac0e484
PH
511539. Added log_selector=+queue_time_overall.
5116
4e1fde53
PH
511740. When running the queue in the test harness, wait just a tad after forking a
5118 delivery process, to get repeatability of debugging output.
5119
de365ded
PH
512041. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails
5121 to set them up, because the GnuTLS error message doesn't include the name
5122 of the failing file when there is a problem reading it.
5123
f05da2e8
PH
512442. Allow both -bf and -bF in the same test run.

d6453af2
PH
512643. Did the same fix as 41 above for OpenSSL, which had the same infelicity.
5127
f7b63901
PH
512844. The "Exiscan patch" is now merged into the mainline Exim source.
5129
513045. Sometimes the final signoff response after QUIT could fail to get
5131 transmitted in the non-TLS case. Testing !tls_active instead of tls_active
5132 < 0 before doing a fflush(). This bug looks as though it goes back to the
5133 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare
5134 because the tests only now provoked it.
5135
a444213a
PH
513646. Reset the locale to "C" after calling embedded Perl, in case it was changed
5137 (this can affect the format of dates).
5138
0ec020ea
PH
513947. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5140 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5141 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5142 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.
5143
b1206957
PH
514448. Steve fixed some bugs in eximstats.
5145
514649. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5147 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5148 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5149 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.
5150
26dd5a95
PH
515150. The default ordering of permitted cipher suites for GnuTLS was pessimal
5152 (the order specifies the preference for clients). The order is now AES256,
5153 AES128, 3DES, ARCFOUR128.
5154
343b2385
PH
515551. Small patch to Sieve code - explicitly set From: when generating an
5156 autoreply.
5157
1c5466b9
PH
515852. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5159 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5160 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5161 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5162 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5163 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5164 is going on).
5165
55ee9ee3
PH
516653. Now that there can be additional text after "Completed" in log lines (if
5167 the queue_time_overall log selector is set), a one-byte patch to exigrep
5168 was needed to allow it to recognize "Completed" as not the last thing in
5169 the line.
5170
d38f8232
PH
517154. The LDAP lookup was not handling a return of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE. A
5172 patch that reportedly fixes this has been added. I am not expert enough to
5173 create a test for it. This is what the patch creator wrote:
5174
5175 "I found a little strange behaviour of ldap code when working with
5176 Windows 2003 AD Domain, where users was placed in more than one
5177 Organization Units. When I tried to give exim partial DN, the exit code
5178 of ldap_search was unknown to exim because of LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE.
5179 But simultaneously result of request was absolutely normal ldap result,
5180 so I produce this patch..."
5181
3295e65b
PH
5182 Later: it seems that not all versions of LDAP support LDAP_RES_SEARCH_
5183 REFERENCE, so I have modified the code to exclude the patch when that macro
5184 is not defined.
5185
7102e136
PH
518655. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5187 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
b975ba52
PH
5188 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5189 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

519256. Improve error message when ldap_search() fails in OpenLDAP or Solaris LDAP.

PH
519457. Double the size of the debug message buffer (to 2048) so that more of very
5195 long debug lines gets shown.
5196
18ce445d
PH
519758. The exicyclog utility now does better if the number of log files to keep
5198 exceeds 99. In this case, it numbers them 001, 002 ... instead of 01, 02...
5199
1f5b4c3d
PH
520059. Two changes related to the smtp_active_hostname option:
5201
5202 (1) $smtp_active_hostname is now available as a variable.
5203 (2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
5204 of $primary_hostname.
5205
b975ba52
PH
520660. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5207 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5208 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5209 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
85b87bc2
PH
5210 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5211 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5212 by change 4.50/55 above.
5213
5214 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5215 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5216 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5217 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5218 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5219 running as the user.

PH
5221
522261. There was a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SPA authentication code
5223 (which came originally from the Samba project). I have added a test to the
5224 spa_base64_to_bits() function which I hope fixes it.
ea3a6f44 5225 CAN-2005-0022

PH
522762. Configuration update for GNU/Hurd and variations. Updated Makefile-GNU and
5228 os.h-GNU, and added configuration files for GNUkFreeBSD and GNUkNetBSD.
5229
d95f9fdb
PH
523063. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5231 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5232 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5233 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5234 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.
5235
86b8287f
PH
523664. A call to exiwhat cut short delays set up by "delay" modifiers in ACLs.
5237 This has been fixed.
5238
60dc5e56
PH
523965. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5240 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5241 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5242 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5243 the caching.)
5244
533244af
PH
524566. Added hosts_max_try_hardlimit to the smtp transport, default 50.
5246
a5a28604
PH
524767. The string_is_ip_address() function returns 0, 4, or 6, for "no an IP
5248 address", "IPv4 address", and "IPv6 address", respectively. Some calls of
5249 the function were treating the return as a boolean value, which happened to
5250 work because 0=false and not-0=true, but is not correct code.
5251
7e634d24
PH
525268. The host_aton() function was not handling scoped IPv6 addresses (those
5253 with, for example, "%eth0" on the end) correctly.
5254
3e11c26b
PH
525569. Fixed some compiler warnings in acl.c for the bitmaps specified with
5256 negated items (that is, ~something) in unsigned ints. Some compilers
5257 apparently mutter when there is no cast.
5258
6729cf78
PH
525970. If an address verification called from an ACL failed, and did not produce a
5260 user-specific message (i.e. there was only a "system" message), nothing was
5261 put in $acl_verify_message. In this situation, it now puts the system
5262 message there.
5263
00f00ca5
PH
526471. Change 4.23/11 added synchronization checking at the start of an SMTP
5265 session; change 4.31/43 added the unwanted input to the log line - except
5266 that it did not do this in the start of session case. It now does.
5267
c9bdd01c
PH
526872. After a timeout in a callout SMTP session, Exim still sent a QUIT command.
5269 This is wrong and can cause the other end to generate a synchronization
5270 error if it is another Exim or anything else that does the synchronization
5271 check. A QUIT command is no longer sent after a timeout.
5272
d43194df
PH
527373. $host_lookup_deferred has been added, to make it easier to detect DEFERs
5274 during host lookups.
5275
fe5b5d0b
PH
527674. The defer_ok option of callout verification was not working if it was used
5277 when verifying addresses in header lines, that is, for this case:
5278
5279 verify = header_sender/callout=defer_ok
5280
76a2d7ba
PH
528175. A backgrounded daemon closed stdin/stdout/stderr on entry; this meant that
5282 those file descriptors could be used for SMTP connections. If anything
5283 wrote to stderr (the example that came up was "warn" in embedded Perl), it
5284 could be sent to the SMTP client, causing chaos. The daemon now opens
5285 stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null when it puts itself into the
5286 background.
5287
528876. Arrange for output from Perl's "warn" command to be written to Exim's main
5289 log by default. The user can override this with suitable Perl magic.
5290
04f7d5b9
PH
529177. The use of log_message on a "discard" ACL verb, which is supposed to add to
5292 the log message when discard triggers, was not working for the DATA ACL or
5293 for the non-SMTP ACL.
5294
bc60667e
PH
529578. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
5296
bb6e88ff
PH
529779. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
5298 restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
5299 a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
5300 connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
5301 earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
5302 else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
5303 process earlier.
5304
1e70f85b
PH
530580. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
5306 or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
5307 It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
5308 related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
5309 illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
5310
531181. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
5312 tables).

5325----------------------------------------------------
5326See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
5327----------------------------------------------------
5328
5329
5330Exim version 4.44
5331-----------------
5332
5333 1. Change 4.43/35 introduced a bug that caused file counts to be
5334 incorrectly computed when quota_filecount was set in an appendfile
5335 transport
5336
5337 2. Closing a stable door: arrange to panic-die if setitimer() ever fails. The
5338 bug fixed in 4.43/37 would have been diagnosed quickly if this had been in
5339 place.
5340
5341 3. Give more explanation in the error message when the command for a transport
5342 filter fails to execute.
5343
5344 4. There are several places where Exim runs a non-Exim command in a
5345 subprocess. The SIGUSR1 signal should be disabled for these processes. This
5346 was being done only for the command run by the queryprogram router. It is
5347 now done for all such subprocesses. The other cases are: ${run, transport
5348 filters, and the commands run by the lmtp and pipe transports.
5349
5350 5. Some older OS have a limit of 256 on the maximum number of file
5351 descriptors. Exim was using setrlimit() to set 1000 as a large value
5352 unlikely to be exceeded. Change 4.43/17 caused a lot of logging on these
5353 systems. I've change it so that if it can't get 1000, it tries for 256.
5354
5355 6. "control=submission" was allowed, but had no effect, in a DATA ACL. This
5356 was an oversight, and furthermore, ever since the addition of extra
5357 controls (e.g. 4.43/32), the checks on when to allow different forms of
5358 "control" were broken. There should now be diagnostics for all cases when a
5359 control that does not make sense is encountered.
5360
5361 7. $recipients is now available in the predata ACL (oversight).
5362
5363 8. Tidy the search cache before the fork to do a delivery from a message
5364 received from the command line. Otherwise the child will trigger a lookup
5365 failure and thereby defer the delivery if it tries to use (for example) a
5366 cached ldap connection that the parent has called unbind on.
5367
5368 9. If verify=recipient was followed by verify=sender in a RCPT ACL, the value
5369 of $address_data from the recipient verification was clobbered by the
5370 sender verification.
5371
537210. If FIXED_NEVER_USERS was defined, but empty, Exim was assuming the uid 0
5373 was its contents. (It was OK if the option was not defined at all.)
5374
537511. A "Completed" log line is now written for messages that are removed from
5376 the spool by the -Mrm option.
5377
537812. $host_address is now set to the target address during the checking of
5379 ignore_target_hosts.
5380
538113. When checking ignore_target_hosts for an ipliteral router, no host name was
5382 being passed; this would have caused $sender_host_name to have been used if
5383 matching the list had actually called for a host name (not very likely,
5384 since this list is usually IP addresses). A host name is now passed as
5385 "[x.x.x.x]".
5386
538714. Changed the calls that set up the SIGCHLD handler in the daemon to use the
5388 code that specifies a non-restarting handler (typically sigaction() in
5389 modern systems) in an attempt to fix a rare and obscure crash bug.
5390
539115. Narrowed the window for a race in the daemon that could cause it to ignore
5392 SIGCHLD signals. This is not a major problem, because they are used only to
5393 wake it up if nothing else does.
5394
539516. A malformed maildirsize file could cause Exim to calculate negative values
5396 for the mailbox size or file count. Odd effects could occur as a result.
5397 The maildirsize information is now recalculated if the size or filecount
5398 end up negative.
5399
540017. Added HAVE_SYS_STATVFS_H to the os.h file for Linux, as it has had this
5401 support for a long time. Removed HAVE_SYS_VFS_H.
5402
ea3a6f44 540318. Updated exipick to current release from John Jetmore.
bbe902f0
PH
5404
540519. Allow an empty sender to be matched against a lookup in an address list.
5406 Previously the only cases considered were a regular expression, or an
5407 empty pattern.
5408
540920. Exim went into a mad DNS lookup loop when doing a callout where the
5410 host was specified on the transport, if the DNS lookup yielded more than
5411 one IP address.
5412
ea3a6f44
NM
541321. The RFC2047 encoding function was originally intended for short strings
5414 such as real names; it was not keeping to the 75-character limit for
5415 encoded words that the RFC imposes. It now respects the limit, and
5416 generates multiple encoded words if necessary. To be on the safe side, I
5417 have increased the buffer size for the ${rfc2047: expansion operator from
5418 1024 to 2048 bytes.

542022. Failure to deliver a bounce message always caused it to be frozen, even if
5421 there was an errors_to setting on the router. The errors_to setting is now
5422 respected.

543025. Include certificate and key file names in error message when GnuTLS fails

544028. exim_tidydb, when checking for the continued existence of a message for
5441 which it has found a message-specific retry record, was not finding
5442 messages that were in split spool directories. Consequently, it was
5443 deleting retry records that should have stayed in existence.

544930. The SPA authentication driver was not abandoning authentication and moving
5450 on to the next authenticator when an expansion was forced to fail,
5451 contradicting the general specification for all authenticators. Instead it
5452 was generating a temporary error. It now behaves as specified.

546132. Exim crashed if a remote delivery caused a very long error message to be
5462 recorded - for instance if somebody sent an entire SpamAssassin report back
5463 as a large number of 550 error lines. This bug was coincidentally fixed by
5464 increasing the size of one of Exim's internal buffers (big_buffer) that
5465 happened as part of the Exiscan merge. However, to be on the safe side, I
5466 have made the code more robust (and fixed the comments that describe what
5467 is going on).

546933. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
5470 keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
5471 dnsdb PTR lookup now tests whether its key is an IP address. If not, it
5472 leaves it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.

547534. The host_aton() function is supposed to be passed a string that is known
5476 to be a valid IP address. However, in the case of IPv6 addresses, it was
5477 not checking this. This is a hostage to fortune. Exim now panics and dies
5478 if the condition is not met. A case was found where this could be provoked
5479 from a dnsdb PTR lookup with an IPv6 address that had more than 8
5480 components; fortuitously, this particular loophole had already been fixed
5481 by change 4.50/55 or 4.44/33 above.
5482
5483 If there are any other similar loopholes, the new check in host_aton()
5484 itself should stop them being exploited. The report I received stated that
5485 data on the command line could provoke the exploit when Exim was running as
5486 exim, but did not say which command line option was involved. All I could
5487 find was the use of -be with a bad dnsdb PTR lookup, and in that case it is
5488 running as the user.

549636. The daemon start-up calls getloadavg() while still root for those OS that
5497 need the first call to be done as root, but it missed one case: when
5498 deliver_queue_load_max is set with deliver_drop_privilege. This is
5499 necessary for the benefit of the queue runner, because there is no re-exec
5500 when deliver_drop_privilege is set.

550237. Caching of lookup data for "hosts =" ACL conditions, when a named host list
5503 was in use, was not putting the data itself into the right store pool;
5504 consequently, it could be overwritten for a subsequent message in the same
5505 SMTP connection. (Fix 4.40/11 dealt with the non-cache case, but overlooked
5506 the caching.)

5511 introduction of TLS in release 3.20, but "sometimes" must have been rare

5515Exim version 4.43
5516-----------------
5517
5518 1. Fixed a longstanding but relatively impotent bug: a long time ago, before
5519 PIPELINING, the function smtp_write_command() used to return TRUE or FALSE.
5520 Now it returns an integer. A number of calls were still expecting a T/F
5521 return. Fortuitously, in all cases, the tests worked in OK situations,
5522 which is the norm. However, things would have gone wrong on any write
5523 failures on the smtp file descriptor. This function is used when sending
5524 messages over SMTP and also when doing verify callouts.
5525
5526 2. When Exim is called to do synchronous delivery of a locally submitted
5527 message (the -odf or -odi options), it no longer closes stderr before doing
5528 the delivery.
5529
5530 3. Implemented the mua_wrapper option.
5531
5532 4. Implemented mx_fail_domains and srv_fail_domains for the dnslookup router.
5533
5534 5. Implemented the functions header_remove(), header_testname(),
5535 header_add_at_position(), and receive_remove_recipient(), and exported them
5536 to local_scan().
5537
5538 6. If an ACL "warn" statement specified the addition of headers, Exim already
5539 inserted X-ACL-Warn: at the start if there was no header name. However, it
5540 was not making this test for the second and subsequent header lines if
5541 there were newlines in the string. This meant that an invalid header could
5542 be inserted if Exim was badly configured.
5543
5544 7. Allow an ACL "warn" statement to add header lines at the start or after all
5545 the Received: headers, as well as at the end.
5546
5547 8. Added the rcpt_4xx retry error code.
5548
5549 9. Added postmaster_mailfrom=xxx to callout verification option.
5550
555110. Added mailfrom=xxxx to the callout verification option, for verify=
5552 header_sender only.
5553
555411. ${substr_1_:xxxx} and ${substr__3:xxxx} are now diagnosed as syntax errors
5555 (they previously behaved as ${substr_1_0:xxxx} and ${substr:_0_3:xxxx}).
5556
555712. Inserted some casts to stop certain compilers warning when using pointer
5558 differences as field lengths or precisions in printf-type calls (mostly
5559 affecting debugging statements).
5560
556113. Added optional readline() support for -be (dynamically loaded).
5562
556314. Obscure bug fix: if a message error (e.g. 4xx to MAIL) happened within the
5564 same clock tick as a message's arrival, so that its received time was the
5565 same as the "first fail" time on the retry record, and that message
5566 remained on the queue past the ultimate address timeout, every queue runner
5567 would try a delivery (because it was past the ultimate address timeout) but
5568 after another failure, the ultimate address timeout, which should have then
5569 bounced the address, did not kick in. This was a "< instead of <=" error;
5570 in most cases the first failure would have been in the next clock tick
5571 after the received time, and all would be well.
5572
557315. The special items beginning with @ in domain lists (e.g. @mx_any) were not
5574 being recognized when the domain list was tested by the match_domain
5575 condition in an expansion string.
5576
557716. Added the ${str2b64: operator.
5578
557917. Exim was always calling setrlimit() to set a large limit for the number of
5580 processes, without checking whether the existing limit was already
5581 adequate. (It did check for the limit on file descriptors.) Furthermore,
5582 errors from getrlimit() and setrlimit() were being ignored. Now they are
5583 logged to the main and panic logs, but Exim does carry on, to try to do its
5584 job under whatever limits there are.
5585
558618. Imported PCRE 5.0.
5587
558819. Trivial typo in log message " temporarily refused connection" (the leading
5589 space).
5590
559120. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set and an address was
5592 redirected to /dev/null, the delivery process crashed because it assumed
5593 that a return path would always be set for a "successful" delivery. In this
5594 case, the whole delivery is bypassed as an optimization, and therefore no
5595 return path is set.
5596
559721. Internal re-arrangement: the function for sending a challenge and reading
5598 a response while authentication was assuming a zero-terminated challenge
5599 string. It's now changed to take a pointer and a length, to allow for
5600 binary data in such strings.
5601
560222. Added the cyrus_sasl authenticator (code supplied by MBM).
5603
560423. Exim was not respecting finduser_retries when seeking the login of the
5605 uid under which it was called; it was always trying 10 times. (The default
5606 setting of finduser_retries is zero.) Also, it was sleeping after the final
5607 failure, which is pointless.
5608
560924. Implemented tls_on_connect_ports.
5610
561125. Implemented acl_smtp_predata.
5612
561326. If the domain in control=submission is set empty, Exim assumes that the
5614 authenticated id is a complete email address when it generates From: or
5615 Sender: header lines.
5616
561727. Added "#define SOCKLEN_T int" to OS/os.h-SCO and OS/os.h-SCO_SV. Also added
5618 definitions to OS/Makefile-SCO and OS/Makefile-SCO_SV that put basename,
5619 chown and chgrp in /bin and hostname in /usr/bin.
5620
562128. Exim was keeping the "process log" file open after each use, just as it
5622 does for the main log. This opens the possibility of it remaining open for
5623 long periods when the USR1 signal hits a daemon. Occasional processlog
5624 errors were reported, that could have been caused by this. Anyway, it seems
5625 much more sensible not to leave this file open at all, so that is what now
5626 happens.
5627
562829. The long-running daemon process does not normally write to the log once it
5629 has entered its main loop, and it closes the log before doing so. This is
5630 so that log files can straightforwardly be renamed and moved. However,
5631 there are a couple of unusual error situations where the daemon does write
5632 log entries, and I had neglected to close the log afterwards.
5633
563430. The text of an SMTP error response that was received during a remote
5635 delivery was being truncated at 512 bytes. This is too short for some of
5636 the long messages that one sometimes sees. I've increased the limit to
5637 1024.
5638
563931. It is now possible to make retry rules that apply only when a message has a
5640 specific sender, in particular, an empty sender.
5641
564232. Added "control = enforce_sync" and "control = no_enforce_sync". This makes
5643 it possible to be selective about when SMTP synchronization is enforced.
5644
564533. Added "control = caseful_local_part" and "control = "caselower_local_part".
5646
564732. Implemented hosts_connection_nolog.
5648
564933. Added an ACL for QUIT.
5650
565134. Setting "delay_warning=" to disable warnings was not working; it gave a
5652 syntax error.
5653
565435. Added mailbox_size and mailbox_filecount to appendfile.
5655
565636. Added control = no_multiline_responses to ACLs.
5657
565837. There was a bug in the logic of the code that waits for the clock to tick
5659 in the case where the clock went backwards by a substantial amount such
5660 that the microsecond fraction of "now" was more than the microsecond
5661 fraction of "then" (but the whole seconds number was less).
5662
566338. Added support for the libradius Radius client library this is found on
5664 FreeBSD (previously only the radiusclient library was supported).
5665
5666
5667Exim version 4.42
5668-----------------
5669
5670 1. When certain lookups returned multiple values in the form name=value, the
5671 quoting of the values was not always being done properly. Specifically:
5672 (a) If the value started with a double quote, but contained no whitespace,
5673 it was not quoted.
5674 (b) If the value contained whitespace other than a space character (i.e.
5675 tabs or newlines or carriage returns) it was not quoted.
5676 This fix has been applied to the mysql and pgsql lookups by writing a
5677 separate quoting function and calling it from the lookup code. The fix
5678 should probably also be applied to nisplus, ibase and oracle lookups, but
5679 since I cannot test any of those, I have not disturbed their existing code.
5680
5681 2. A hit in the callout cache for a specific address caused a log line with no
5682 reason for rejecting RCPT. Now it says "Previous (cached) callout
5683 verification failure".
5684
5685 3. There was an off-by-one bug in the queryprogram router. An over-long
5686 return line was truncated at 256 instead of 255 characters, thereby
5687 overflowing its buffer with the terminating zero. As well as fixing this, I
5688 have increased the buffer size to 1024 (and made a note to document this).
5689
5690 4. If an interrupt, such as the USR1 signal that is send by exiwhat, arrives
5691 when Exim is waiting for an SMTP response from a remote server, Exim
5692 restarts its select() call on the socket, thereby resetting its timeout.
5693 This is not a problem when such interrupts are rare. Somebody set up a cron
5694 job to run exiwhat every 2 minutes, which is less than the normal select()
5695 timeout (5 or 10 minutes). This meant that the select() timeout never
5696 kicked in because it was always reset. I have fixed this by comparing the
5697 time when an interrupt arrives with the time at the start of the first call
5698 to select(). If more time than the timeout has elapsed, the interrupt is
5699 treated as a timeout.
5700
5701 5. Some internal re-factoring in preparation for the addition of Sieve
5702 extensions (by MH). In particular, the "personal" test is moved to a
5703 separate function, and given an option for scanning Cc: and Bcc: (which is
5704 not set for Exim filters).
5705
5706 6. When Exim created an email address using the login of the caller as the
5707 local part (e.g. when creating a From: or Sender: header line), it was not
5708 quoting the local part when it contained special characters such as @.
5709
5710 7. Installed new OpenBSD configuration files.
5711
5712 8. Reworded some messages for syntax errors in "and" and "or" conditions to
5713 try to make them clearer.
5714
5715 9. Callout options, other than the timeout value, were being ignored when
5716 verifying sender addresses in header lines. For example, when using
5717
5718 verify = header_sender/callout=no_cache
5719
5720 the cache was (incorrectly) being used.
5721
572210. Added a missing instance of ${EXE} to the exim_install script; this affects
5723 only the Cygwin environment.
5724
572511. When return_path_on_delivery was set as a log selector, if different remote
5726 addresses in the same message used different return paths and parallel
5727 remote delivery occurred, the wrong values would sometimes be logged.
5728 (Whenever a remote delivery process finished, the return path value from
5729 the most recently started remote delivery process was logged.)
5730
573112. RFC 3848 specifies standard names for the "with" phrase in Received: header
5732 lines when AUTH and/or TLS are in use. This is the "received protocol"
5733 field. Exim used to use "asmtp" for authenticated SMTP, without any
5734 indication (in the protocol name) for TLS use. Now it follows the RFC and
5735 uses "esmtpa" if the connection is authenticated, "esmtps" if it is
5736 encrypted, and "esmtpsa" if it is both encrypted and authenticated. These
5737 names appear in log lines as well as in Received: header lines.
5738
573913. Installed MH's patches for Sieve to add the "copy" and "vacation"
5740 extensions, and comparison tests, and to fix some bugs.
5741
574214. Changes to the "personal" filter test:
5743
5744 (1) The test was buggy in that it was just doing the equivalent of
5745 "contains" tests on header lines. For example, if a user's address was
5746 anne@some.where, the "personal" test would incorrectly be true for
5747
5748 To: susanne@some.where
5749
5750 This test is now done by extracting each address from the header in turn,
5751 and checking the entire address. Other tests that are part of "personal"
5752 are now done using regular expressions (for example, to check local parts
5753 of addresses in From: header lines).
5754
5755 (2) The list of non-personal local parts in From: addresses has been
5756 extended to include "listserv", "majordomo", "*-request", and "owner-*",
5757 taken from the Sieve specification recommendations.
5758
5759 (3) If the message contains any header line starting with "List-" it is
5760 treated as non-personal.
5761
5762 (4) The test for "circular" in the Subject: header line has been removed
5763 because it now seems ill-conceived.
5764
576515. Minor typos in src/EDITME comments corrected.
5766
576716. Installed latest exipick from John Jetmore.
5768
576917. If headers_add on a router specified a text string that was too long for
5770 string_sprintf() - that is, longer than 8192 bytes - Exim panicked. The use
5771 of string_sprintf() is now avoided.
5772
577318. $message_body_size was not set (it was always zero) when running the DATA
5774 ACL and the local_scan() function.
5775
577619. For the "mail" command in an Exim filter, no default was being set for
5777 the once_repeat time, causing a random time value to be used if "once" was
5778 specified. (If the value happened to be <= 0, no repeat happened.) The
5779 default is now 0s, meaning "never repeat". The "vacation" command was OK
5780 (its default is 7d). It's somewhat surprising nobody ever noticed this bug
5781 (I found it when inspecting the code).
5782
578320. There is now an overall timeout for performing a callout verification. It
5784 defaults to 4 times the callout timeout, which applies to individual SMTP
5785 commands during the callout. The overall timeout applies when there is more
5786 than one host that can be tried. The timeout is checked before trying the
5787 next host. This prevents very long delays if there are a large number of
5788 hosts and all are timing out (e.g. when the network connections are timing
5789 out). The value of the overall timeout can be changed by specifying an
5790 additional sub-option for "callout", called "maxwait". For example:
5791
5792 verify = sender/callout=5s,maxwait=20s
5793
579421. Add O_APPEND to the open() call for maildirsize files (Exim already seeks
5795 to the end before writing, but this should make it even safer).
5796
579722. Exim was forgetting that it had advertised PIPELINING for the second and
5798 subsequent messages on an SMTP connection. It was also not resetting its
5799 memory on STARTTLS and an internal HELO.
5800
580123. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error within a session, it now
5802 records whether PIPELINING has been advertised or not.
5803
580424. Added 3 instances of "(long int)" casts to time_t variables that were being
5805 formatted using %ld, because on OpenBSD (and perhaps others), time_t is int
5806 rather than long int.
5807
580825. Installed the latest Cygwin configuration files from the Cygwin maintainer.
5809
581026. Added the never_mail option to autoreply.
5811
5812
5813Exim version 4.41
5814-----------------
5815
5816 1. A reorganization of the code in order to implement 4.40/8 caused a daemon
5817 crash if the getsockname() call failed; this can happen if a connection is
5818 closed very soon after it is established. The problem was simply in the
5819 order in which certain operations were done, causing Exim to try to write
5820 to the SMTP stream before it had set up the file descriptor. The bug has
5821 been fixed by making things happen in the correct order.
5822
5823
5824Exim version 4.40
5825-----------------
5826
5827 1. If "drop" was used in a DATA ACL, the SMTP output buffer was not flushed
5828 before the connection was closed, thus losing the rejection response.
5829
5830 2. Commented out the definition of SOCKLEN_T in os.h-SunOS5. It is needed for
5831 some early Solaris releases, but causes trouble in current releases where
5832 socklen_t is defined.
5833
5834 3. When std{in,out,err} are closed, re-open them to /dev/null so that they
5835 always exist.
5836
5837 4. Minor refactoring of os.c-Linux to avoid compiler warning when IPv6 is not
5838 configured.
5839
5840 5. Refactoring in expand.c to improve memory usage. Pre-allocate a block so
5841 that releasing the top of it at the end releases what was used for sub-
5842 expansions (unless the block got too big). However, discard this block if
5843 the first thing is a variable or header, so that we can use its block when
5844 it is dynamic (useful for very large $message_headers, for example).
5845
5846 6. Lookups now cache *every* query, not just the most recent. A new, separate
5847 store pool is used for this. It can be recovered when all lookup caches are
5848 flushed. Lookups now release memory at the end of their result strings.
5849 This has involved some general refactoring of the lookup sources.
5850
5851 7. Some code has been added to the store_xxx() functions to reduce the amount
5852 of flapping under certain conditions.
5853
5854 8. log_incoming_interface used to affect only the <= reception log lines. Now
5855 it causes the local interface and port to be added to several more SMTP log
5856 lines, for example "SMTP connection from", and rejection lines.
5857
5858 9. The Sieve author supplied some patches for the doc/README.SIEVE file.
5859
586010. Added a conditional definition of _BSD_SOCKLEN_T to os.h-Darwin.
5861
586211. If $host_data was set by virtue of a hosts lookup in an ACL, its value
5863 could be overwritten at the end of the current message (or the start of a
5864 new message if it was set in a HELO ACL). The value is now preserved for
5865 the duration of the SMTP connection.
5866
586712. If a transport had a headers_rewrite setting, and a matching header line
5868 contained an unqualified address, that address was qualified, even if it
5869 did not match any rewriting rules. The underlying bug was that the values
5870 of the flags that permit the existence of unqualified sender and recipient
5871 addresses in header lines (set by {sender,recipient}_unqualified_hosts for
5872 non-local messages, and by -bnq for local messages) were not being
5873 preserved with the message after it was received.
5874
587513. When Exim was logging an SMTP synchronization error, it could sometimes log
5876 "next input=" as part of the text comprising the host identity instead of
5877 the correct text. The code was using the same buffer for two different
5878 strings. However, depending on which order the printing function evaluated
5879 its arguments, the bug did not always show up. Under Linux, for example, my
5880 test suite worked just fine.
5881
588214. Exigrep contained a use of Perl's "our" scoping after change 4.31/70. This
5883 doesn't work with some older versions of Perl. It has been changed to "my",
5884 which in any case is probably the better facility to use.
5885
588615. A really picky compiler found some instances of statements for creating
5887 error messages that either had too many or two few arguments for the format
5888 string.
5889
589016. The size of the buffer for calls to the DNS resolver has been increased
5891 from 1024 to 2048. A larger buffer is needed when performing PTR lookups
5892 for addresses that have a lot of PTR records. This alleviates a problem; it
5893 does not fully solve it.
5894
589517. A dnsdb lookup for PTR records that receives more data than will fit in the
5896 buffer now truncates the list and logs the incident, which is the same
5897 action as happens when Exim is looking up a host name and its aliases.
5898 Previously in this situation something unpredictable would happen;
5899 sometimes it was "internal error: store_reset failed".
5900
590118. If a server dropped the connection unexpectedly when an Exim client was
5902 using GnuTLS and trying to read a response, the client delivery process
5903 crashed while trying to generate an error log message.
5904
590519. If a "warn" verb in an ACL added multiple headers to a message in a single
5906 string, for example:
5907
5908 warn message = H1: something\nH2: something
5909
5910 the text was added as a single header line from Exim's point of view
5911 though it ended up OK in the delivered message. However, searching for the
5912 second and subsequent header lines using $h_h2: did not work. This has been
5913 fixed. Similarly, if a system filter added multiple headers in this way,
5914 the routers could not see them.
5915
591620. Expanded the error message when iplsearch is called with an invalid key to
5917 suggest using net-iplsearch in a host list.
5918
591921. When running tests using -bh, any delays imposed by "delay" modifiers in
5920 ACLs are no longer actually imposed (and a message to that effect is
5921 output).
5922
592322. If a "gecos" field in a passwd entry contained escaped characters, in
5924 particular, if it contained a \" sequence, Exim got it wrong when building
5925 a From: or a Sender: header from that name. A second bug also caused
5926 incorrect handling when an unquoted " was present following a character
5927 that needed quoting.
5928
592923. "{crypt}" as a password encryption mechanism for a "crypteq" expansion item
5930 was not being matched caselessly.
5931
593224. Arranged for all hyphens in the exim.8 source to be escaped with
5933 backslashes.
5934
593525. Change 16 of 4.32, which reversed 71 or 4.31 didn't quite do the job
5936 properly. Recipient callout cache records were still being keyed to include
5937 the sender, even when use_sender was set false. This led to far more
5938 callouts that were necessary. The sender is no longer included in the key
5939 when use_sender is false.
5940
594126. Added "control = submission" modifier to ACLs.
5942
594327. Added the ${base62d: operator to decode base 62 numbers.
5944
594528. dnsdb lookups can now access SRV records.
5946
594729. CONFIGURE_OWNER can be set at build time to define an alternative owner for
5948 the configuration file.
5949
595030. The debug message "delivering xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx" is now output in verbose
5951 (-v) mode. This makes the output for a verbose queue run more intelligible.
5952
595331. Added a use_postmaster feature to recipient callouts.
5954
595532. Added the $body_zerocount variable, containing the number of binary zero
5956 bytes in the message body.
5957
595833. The time of last modification of the "new" subdirectory is now used as the
5959 "mailbox time last read" when there is a quota error for a maildir
5960 delivery.
5961
596234. Added string comparison operators lt, lti, le, lei, gt, gti, ge, gei.
5963
596435. Added +ignore_unknown as a special item in host lists.
5965
596636. Code for decoding IPv6 addresses in host lists is now included, even if
5967 IPv6 support is not being compiled. This fixes a bug in which an IPv6
5968 address was recognized as an IP address, but was then not correctly decoded
5969 into binary, causing unexpected and incorrect effects when compared with
5970 another IP address.
5971
5972
5973Exim version 4.34
5974-----------------
5975
5976 1. Very minor rewording of debugging text in manualroute to say "list of
5977 hosts" instead of "hostlist".
5978
5979 2. If verify=header_syntax was set, and a header line with an unqualified
5980 address (no domain) and a large number of spaces between the end of the
5981 name and the colon was received, the reception process suffered a buffer
5982 overflow, and (when I tested it) crashed. This was caused by some obsolete
5983 code that should have been removed. The fix is to remove it!
5984
5985 3. When running in the test harness, delay a bit after writing a bounce
5986 message to get a bit more predictability in the log output.
5987
5988 4. Added a call to search_tidyup() just before forking a reception process. In
5989 theory, someone could use a lookup in the expansion of smtp_accept_max_
5990 per_host which, without the tidyup, could leave open a database connection.
5991
5992 5. Added the variables $recipient_data and $sender_data which get set from a
5993 lookup success in an ACL "recipients" or "senders" condition, or a router
5994 "senders" option, similar to $domain_data and $local_part_data.
5995
5996 6. Moved the writing of debug_print from before to after the "senders" test
5997 for routers.
5998
5999 7. Change 4.31/66 (moving the time when the Received: is generated) caused
6000 problems for message scanning, either using a data ACL, or using
6001 local_scan() because the Received: header was not generated till after they
6002 were called (in order to set the time as the time of reception completion).
6003 I have revised the way this works. The header is now generated after the
6004 body is received, but before the ACL or local_scan() are called. After they
6005 are run, the timestamp in the header is updated.
6006
6007
6008Exim version 4.33
6009-----------------
6010
6011 1. Change 4.24/6 introduced a bug because the SIGALRM handler was disabled
6012 before starting a queue runner without re-exec. This happened only when
6013 deliver_drop_privilege was set or when the Exim user was set to root. The
6014 effect of the bug was that timeouts during subsequent deliveries caused
6015 crashes instead of being properly handled. The handler is now left at its
6016 default (and expected) setting.
6017
6018 2. The other case in which a daemon avoids a re-exec is to deliver an incoming
6019 message, again when deliver_drop_privilege is set or Exim is run as root.
6020 The bug described in (1) was not present in this case, but the tidying up
6021 of the other signals was missing. I have made the two cases consistent.
6022
6023 3. The ignore_target_hosts setting on a manualroute router was being ignored
6024 for hosts that were looked up using the /MX notation.
6025
6026 4. Added /ignore=<ip list> feature to @mx_any, @mx_primary, and @mx_secondary
6027 in domain lists.
6028
6029 5. Change 4.31/55 was buggy, and broke when there was a rewriting rule that
6030 operated on the sender address. After changing the $sender_address to <>
6031 for the sender address verify, Exim was re-instated it as the original
6032 (before rewriting) address, but remembering that it had rewritten it, so it
6033 wasn't rewriting it again. This bug also had the effect of breaking the
6034 sender address verification caching when the sender address was rewritten.
6035
6036 6. The ignore_target_hosts option was being ignored by the ipliteral router.
6037 This has been changed so that if the ip literal address matches
6038 ignore_target_hosts, the router declines.
6039
6040 7. Added expansion conditions match_domain, match_address, and match_local_
6041 part (NOT match_host).
6042
6043 8. The placeholder for the Received: header didn't have a length field set.
6044
6045 9. Added code to Exim itself and to exim_lock to test for a specific race
6046 condition that could lead to file corruption when using MBX delivery. The
6047 issue is with the lockfile that is created in /tmp. If this file is removed
6048 after a process has opened it but before that process has acquired a lock,
6049 there is the potential for a second process to recreate the file and also
6050 acquire a lock. This could lead to two Exim processes writing to the file
6051 at the same time. The added code performs the same test as UW imapd; it
6052 checks after acquiring the lock that its file descriptor still refers to
6053 the same named file.
6054
605510. The buffer for building added header lines was of fixed size, 8192 bytes.
6056 It is now parameterized by HEADER_ADD_BUFFER_SIZE and this can be adjusted
6057 when Exim is built.
6058
605911. Added the smtp_active_hostname option. If used, this will typically be made
6060 to depend on the incoming interface address. Because $interface_address is
6061 not set up until the daemon has forked a reception process, error responses
6062 that can happen earlier (such as "too many connections") no longer contain
6063 a host name.
6064
606512. If an expansion in a condition on a "warn" statement fails because a lookup
6066 defers, the "warn" statement is abandoned, and the next ACL statement is
6067 processed. Previously this caused the whole ACL to be aborted.
6068
606913. Added the iplsearch lookup type.
6070
607114. Added ident_timeout as a log selector.
6072
607315. Added tls_certificate_verified as a log selector.
6074
607516. Added a global option tls_require_ciphers (compare the smtp transport
6076 option of the same name). This controls incoming TLS connections.
6077
607817. I finally figured out how to make tls_require_ciphers do a similar thing
6079 in GNUtls to what it does in OpenSSL, that is, set up an appropriate list
6080 before starting the TLS session.
6081
608218. Tabs are now shown as \t in -bP output.
6083
608419. If the log selector return_path_on_delivery was set, Exim crashed when
6085 bouncing a message because it had too many Received: header lines.
6086
608720. If two routers both had headers_remove settings, and the first one included
6088 a superfluous trailing colon, the final name in the first list and the
6089 first name in the second list were incorrectly joined into one item (with a
6090 colon in the middle).
6091
6092
6093Exim version 4.32
6094-----------------
6095
6096 1. Added -C and -D options to the exinext utility, mainly to make it easier
6097 to include in the automated testing, but these could be helpful when
6098 multiple configurations are in use.
6099
6100 2. The exinext utility was not formatting the output nicely when there was
6101 an alternate port involved in the retry record key, nor when there was a
6102 message id as well (for retries that were specific to a specific message
6103 and a specific host). It was also confused by IPv6 addresses, because of
6104 the additional colons they contain. I have fixed the IPv4 problem, and
6105 patched it up to do a reasonable job for IPv6.
6106
6107 3. When there is an error after a MAIL, RCPT, or DATA SMTP command during
6108 delivery, the log line now contains "pipelined" if PIPELINING was used.
6109
6110 4. An SMTP transport process used to panic and die if the bind() call to set
6111 an explicit outgoing interface failed. This has been changed; it is now
6112 treated in the same way as a connect() failure.
6113
6114 5. A reference to $sender_host_name in the part of a conditional expansion
6115 that was being skipped was still causing a DNS lookup. This no longer
6116 occurs.
6117
6118 6. The def: expansion condition was not recognizing references to header lines
6119 that used bh_ and bheader_.
6120
6121 7. Added the _cache feature to named lists.
6122
6123 8. The code for checking quota_filecount in the appendfile transport was
6124 allowing one more file than it should have been.
6125
6126 9. For compatibility with Sendmail, the command line option
6127
6128 -prval:sval
6129
6130 is equivalent to
6131
6132 -oMr rval -oMs sval
6133
6134 and sets the incoming protocol and host name (for trusted callers). The
6135 host name and its colon can be omitted when only the protocol is to be set.
6136 Note the Exim already has two private options, -pd and -ps, that refer to
6137 embedded Perl. It is therefore impossible to set a protocol value of "d" or
6138 "s", but I don't think that's a major issue.
6139
614010. A number of refactoring changes to the code, none of which should affect
6141 Exim's behaviour:
6142
6143 (a) The number of logging options was getting close to filling up the
6144 32-bit word that was used as a bit map. I have split them into two classes:
6145 those that are passed in the argument to log_write(), and those that are
6146 only ever tested independently outside of that function. These are now in
6147 separate 32-bit words, so there is plenty of room for expansion again.
6148 There is no change in the user interface or the logging behaviour.
6149
6150 (b) When building, for example, log lines, the code previously used a
6151 macro that called string_cat() twice, in order to add two strings. This is
6152 not really sufficiently general. Furthermore, there was one instance where
6153 it was actually wrong because one of the argument was used twice, and in
6154 one call a function was used. (As it happened, calling the function twice
6155 did not affect the overall behaviour.) The macro has been replaced by a
6156 function that can join an arbitrary number of extra strings onto a growing
6157 string.
6158
6159 (c) The code for expansion conditions now uses a table and a binary chop
6160 instead of a serial search (which was left over from when there were very
6161 few conditions). Also, it now recognizes conditions like "pam" even when
6162 the relevant support is not compiled in: a suitably worded error message is
6163 given if an attempt is made to use such a condition.
6164
616511. Added ${time_interval:xxxxx}.
6166
616712. A bug was causing one of the ddress fields not to be passed back correctly
6168 from remote delivery subprocesses. The field in question was not being
6169 subsequently used, so this caused to problems in practice.
6170
617113. Added new log selectors queue_time and deliver_time.
6172
617314. Might have fixed a bug in maildirsizefile handling that threw up
6174 "unexpected character" debug warnings, and recalculated the data
6175 unnecessarily. In any case, I expanded the warning message to give more
6176 information.
6177
617815. Added the message "Restricted characters in address" to the statements in
6179 the default ACL that block characters like @ and % in local parts.
6180
618116. Change 71 for release 4.31 proved to be much less benign that I imagined.
6182 Three changes have been made:
6183
6184 (a) There was a serious bug; a negative response to MAIL caused the whole
6185 recipient domain to be cached as invalid, thereby blocking all messages
6186 to all local parts at the same domain, from all senders. This bug has
6187 been fixed. The domain is no longer cached after a negative response to
6188 MAIL if the sender used is not empty.
6189
6190 (b) The default behaviour of using MAIL FROM:<> for recipient callouts has
6191 been restored.
6192
6193 (c) A new callout option, "use_sender" has been added for people who want
6194 the modified behaviour.
6195
6196
6197Exim version 4.31
6198-----------------
6199
6200 1. Removed "EXTRALIBS=-lwrap" from OS/Makefile-Unixware7 on the advice of
6201 Larry Rosenman.
6202
6203 2. Removed "LIBS = -lresolv" from OS/Makefile-Darwin as it is not needed, and
6204 indeed breaks things for older releases.
6205
6206 3. Added additional logging to the case where there is a problem reading data
6207 from a filter that is running in a subprocess using a pipe, in order to
6208 try to track down a specific problem.
6209
6210 4. Testing facility fudge: when running in the test harness and attempting
6211 to connect to 10.x.x.x (expecting a connection timeout) I'm now sometimes
6212 getting "No route to host". Convert this to a timeout.
6213
6214 5. Define ICONV_ARG2_TYPE as "char **" for Unixware7 to avoid compiler
6215 warning.
6216
6217 6. Some OS don't have socklen_t but use size_t instead. This affects the
6218 fifth argument of getsockopt() amongst other things. This is now
6219 configurable by a macro called SOCKLEN_T which defaults to socklen_t, but
6220 can be set for individual OS. I have set it for SunOS5, OSF1, and
6221 Unixware7. Current versions of SunOS5 (aka Solaris) do have socklen_t, but
6222 some earlier ones do not.
6223
6224 7. Change 4.30/15 was not doing the test caselessly.
6225
6226 8. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by address
6227 parsing in, for example, MAIL and RCPT commands. An example of this kind of
6228 address is [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6229 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front (but only when
6230 address literals are enabled, of course).
6231
6232 9. Added some casts to avoid compiler warnings in OS/os.c-Linux.
6233
623410. Exim crashed if a message with an empty sender address specified by -f
6235 encountered a router with an errors_to setting. This could be provoked only
6236 by a command such as
6237
6238 exim -f "" ...
6239
6240 where an empty string was supplied; "<>" did not hit this bug.
6241
624211. Installed PCRE release 4.5.
6243
624412. If EHLO/HELO was rejected by an ACL, the value of $sender_helo_name
6245 remained set. It is now erased.
6246
624713. exiqgrep wasn't working on MacOS X because it didn't correctly compute
6248 times from message ids (which are base 36 rather than the normal 62).
6249
625014. "Expected" SMTP protocol errors that can arise when PIPELINING is in use
6251 were being counted as actual protocol errors, and logged if the log
6252 selector +smtp_protocol_error was set. One cannot be perfect in this test,
6253 but now, if PIPELINING has been advertised, RCPT following a rejected MAIL,
6254 and DATA following a set of rejected RCPTs do not count as protocol errors.
6255 In other words, Exim assumes they were pipelined, though this may not
6256 actually be the case. Of course, in all cases the client gets an
6257 appropriate error code.
6258
625915. If a lookup fails in an ACL condition, a message about the failure may
6260 be available; it is used if testing the ACL cannot continue, because most
6261 such messages specify what the cause of the deferral is. However, some
6262 messages (e.g. "MYSQL: no data found") do not cause a defer. There was bug
6263 that caused an old message to be retained and used if a later statement
6264 caused a defer, replacing the real cause of the deferral.
6265
626616. If an IP address had so many PTR records that the DNS lookup buffer
6267 was not large enough to hold them, Exim could crash while trying to process
6268 the truncated data. It now detects and logs this case.
6269
627017. Further to 4.21/58, another change has been made: if (and only if) the
6271 first line of a message (the first header line) ends with CRLF, a bare LF
6272 in a subsequent header line has a space inserted after it, so as not to
6273 terminate the header.
6274
627518. Refactoring: tidied an ugly bit of code in appendfile that copied data
6276 unnecessarily, used atoi() instead of strtol(), and didn't check the
6277 termination when getting file sizes from file names by regex.
6278
627919. Completely re-implemented the support for maildirsize files, in the light
6280 of a number of problems with the previous contributed implementation
6281 (4.30/29). In particular:
6282
6283 . If the quota is zero, the maildirsize file is maintained, but no quota is
6284 imposed.
6285
6286 . If the maildir directory does not exist, it is created before any attempt
6287 to write a maildirsize file.
6288
6289 . The quota value in the file is just a cache; if the quota is changed in
6290 the transport, the new value overrides.
6291
6292 . A regular expression is available for excluding directories from the
6293 count.
6294
629520. The autoreply transport checks the characters in options that define the
6296 message's headers; it allows continued headers, but it was checking with
6297 isspace() after an embedded newline instead of explicitly looking for a
6298 space or a tab.
6299
630021. If all the "regular" hosts to which an address was routed had passed their
6301 expiry times, and had not reached their retry times, the address was
6302 bounced, even if fallback hosts were defined. Now Exim should go on to try
6303 the fallback hosts.
6304
630522. Increased buffer sizes in the callout code from 1024 to 4096 to match the
6306 equivalent code in the SMTP transport. Some hosts send humungous responses
6307 to HELO/EHLO, more than 1024 it seems.
6308
630923. Refactoring: code in filter.c used (void *) for "any old type" but this
6310 gives compiler warnings in some environments. I've now done it "properly",
6311 using a union.
6312
631324. The replacement for inet_ntoa() that is used with gcc on IRIX systems
6314 (because of problems with the built-in one) was declared to return uschar *
6315 instead of char *, causing compiler failure.
6316
631725. Fixed a file descriptor leak when processing alias/forward files.
6318
631926. Fixed a minor format string issue in dbfn.c.
6320
632127. Typo in exim.c: ("dmbnz" for "dbmnz").
6322
632328. If a filter file refered to $h_xxx or $message_headers, and the headers
6324 contained RFC 2047 "words", Exim's memory could, under certain conditions,
6325 become corrupted.
6326
632729. When a sender address is verified, it is cached, to save repeating the test
6328 when there is more than one recipient in a message. However, when the
6329 verification involves a callout, it is possible for different callout
6330 options to be set for different recipients. It is too complicated to keep
6331 track of this in the cache, so now Exim always runs a verification when a
6332 callout is required, relying on the callout cache for the optimization.
6333 The overhead is duplication of the address routing, but this should not be
6334 too great.
6335
633630. Fixed a bug in callout caching. If a RCPT command caused the sender address
6337 to be verified with callout=postmaster, and the main callout worked but the
6338 postmaster check failed, the verification correctly failed. However, if a
6339 subsequent RCPT command asked for sender verification *without* the
6340 postmaster check, incorrect caching caused this verification also to fail,
6341 incorrectly.
6342
634331. Exim caches DNS lookup failures so as to avoid multiple timeouts; however,
6344 it was not caching the DNS options (qualify_single, search_parents) that
6345 were used when the lookup failed. A subsequent lookup with different
6346 options therefore always gave the same answer, though there were cases
6347 where it should not have. (Example: a "domains = !$mx_any" option on a
6348 dnslookup router: the "domains" option is always processed without any
6349 widening, but the router might have qualify_single set.) Now Exim uses the
6350 cached value only when the same options are set.
6351
635232. Added John Jetmore's "exipick" utility to the distribution.
6353
635433. GnuTLS: When an attempt to start a TLS session fails for any reason other
6355 than a timeout (e.g. a certificate is required, and is not provided), an
6356 Exim server now closes the connection immediately. Previously it waited for
6357 the client to close - but if the client is SSL, it seems that they each
6358 wait for each other, leading to a delay before one of them times out.
6359
636034: GnuTLS: Updated the code to use the new GnuTLS 1.0.0 API. I have not
6361 maintained 0.8.x compatibility because I don't think many are using it, and
6362 it is clearly obsolete.
6363
636435. Added TLS support for CRLs: a tls_crl global option and one for the smtp
6365 transport.
6366
636736. OpenSSL: $tls_certificate_verified was being set to 1 even if the
6368 client certificate was expired. A simple patch fixes this, though I don't
6369 understand the full logic of why the verify callback is called multiple
6370 times.
6371
637237. OpenSSL: a patch from Robert Roselius: "Enable client-bug workaround.
6373 Versions of OpenSSL as of 0.9.6d include a 'CBC countermeasure' feature,
6374 which causes problems with some clients (such as the Certicom SSL Plus
6375 library used by Eudora). This option, SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS,
6376 disables the coutermeasure allowing Eudora to connect."
6377
637838. Exim was not checking that a write() to a log file succeeded. This could
6379 lead to Bad Things if a log got too big, in particular if it hit a file
6380 size limit. Exim now panics and dies if it cannot write to a log file, just
6381 as it does if it cannot open a log file.
6382
638339. Modified OS/Makefile-Linux so that it now contains
6384
6385 CFLAGS=-O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
6386
6387 The two -D definitions ensure that Exim is compiled with large file
6388 support, which makes it possible to handle log files that are bigger than
6389 2^31.
6390
639140. Fixed a subtle caching bug: if (in an ACL or a set of routers, for
6392 instance) a domain was checked against a named list that involved a lookup,
6393 causing $domain_data to be set, then another domain was checked against the
6394 same list, then the first domain was re-checked, the value of $domain_data
6395 after the final check could be wrong. In particular, if the second check
6396 failed, it could be set empty. This bug probably also applied to
6397 $localpart_data.
6398
639941. The strip_trailing_dot option was not being applied to the address given
6400 with the -f command-line option.
6401
640242. The code for reading a message's header from the spool was incrementing
6403 $received_count, but never initializing it. This meant that the value was
6404 incorrect (doubled) while delivering a message in the same process in which
6405 it was received. In the most common configuration of Exim, this never
6406 happens - a fresh exec is done - but it can happen when
6407 deliver_drop_privilege is set.
6408
640943. When Exim logs an SMTP synchronization error - client data sent too soon -
6410 it now includes up to 150 characters of the unexpected data in the log
6411 line.
6412
641344. The exim_dbmbuild utility uses fixed size buffers for reading input lines
6414 and building data strings. The size of both of these buffers was 10 000
6415 bytes - far larger than anybody would *ever* want, thought I. Needless to
6416 say, somebody hit the limit. I have increased the maximum line length to
6417 20 000 and the maximum data length of concatenated lines to 100 000. I have
6418 also fixed two bugs, because there was no checking on these buffers. Tsk,
6419 tsk. Now exim_dbmbuild gives a message and exits with an error code if a
6420 buffer is too small.
6421
642245. The exim_dbmbuild utility did not support quoted keys, as Exim does in
6423 lsearch lookups. Now it does.
6424
642546. When parsing a route_list item in a manualroute router, a fixed-length
6426 buffer was used for the list of hosts. I made this 1024 bytes long,
6427 thinking that nobody would ever have a list of hosts that long. Wrong.
6428 Somebody had a whole pile of complicated expansion conditions, and the
6429 string was silently truncated, leading to an expansion error. It turns out
6430 that it is easier to change to an unlimited length (owing to other changes
6431 that have happened since this code was originally written) than to build
6432 structure for giving a limitation error. The length of the item that
6433 expands into the list of hosts is now unlimited.
6434
643547. The lsearch lookup could not handle data where the length of text line was
6436 more than 4095 characters. Such lines were truncated, leading to shortened
6437 data being returned. It should now handle lines of any length.
6438
643948. Minor wording revision: "cannot test xxx in yyy ACL" becomes "cannot test
6440 xxx condition in yyy ACL" (e.g. "cannot test domains condition in DATA
6441 ACL").
6442
644349. Cosmetic tidy to scripts like exicyclog that are generated by globally
6444 replacing strings such as BIN_DIRECTORY in a source file: the replacement
6445 no longer happens in comment lines. A list of replacements is now placed
6446 at the head of all of the source files, except those whose only change is
6447 to replace PERL_COMMAND in the very first #! line.
6448
644950. Replaced the slow insertion sort in queue.c, for sorting the list of
6450 messages on the queue, with a bottom-up merge sort, using code contributed
6451 by Michael Haardt. This should make operations like -bp somewhat faster on
6452 large queues. It won't affect queue runners, except when queue_run_in_order
6453 is set.
6454
645551. Installed eximstats 1.31 in the distribution.
6456
645752. Added support for SRV lookups to the dnslookup router.
6458
645953. If an ACL referred to $message_body or $message_body_end, the value was not
6460 reset for any messages that followed in the same SMTP session.
6461
646254. The store-handling optimization for building very long strings was not
6463 differentiating between the different store pools. I don't think this
6464 actually made any difference in practice, but I've tidied it.
6465
646655. While running the routers to verify a sender address, $sender_address
6467 was still set to the sender address. This is wrong, because when routing to
6468 send a bounce to the sender, it would be empty. Therefore, I have changed
6469 it so that, while verifying a sender address, $sender_address is set to <>.
6470 (There is no change to what happens when verifying a recipient address.)
6471
647256. After finding MX (or SRV) records, Exim was doing a DNS lookup for the
6473 target A or AAAA records (if not already returned) without resetting the
6474 qualify_single or search_parents options of the DNS resolver. These are
6475 inappropriate in this case because the targets of MX and SRV records must
6476 be FQDNs. A broken DNS record could cause trouble if it happened to have a
6477 target that, when qualified, matched something in the local domain. These
6478 two options are now turned off when doing these lookups.
6479
648057. It seems that at least some releases of Reiserfs (which does not have the
6481 concept of a fixed number of inodes) returns zero and not -1 for the
6482 number of available inodes. This interacted badly with check_spool_inodes,
6483 which assumed that -1 was the "no such thing" setting. What I have done is
6484 to check that the total number of inodes is greater than zero before doing
6485 the test of how many are available.
6486
648758. When a "warn" ACL statement has a log_message modifier, the message is
6488 remembered, and not repeated. This is to avoid a lot of repetition when a
6489 message has many recipients that cause the same warning to be written.
4c04137d 6490 However, Exim was preserving the list of already written lines for an
495ae4b0
PH
6491 entire SMTP session, which doesn't seem right. The memory is now reset if a
6492 new message is started.
6493
649459. The "rewrite" debugging flag was not showing the result of rewriting in the
6495 debugging output unless log_rewrite was also set.
6496
649760. Avoid a compiler warning on 64-bit systems in dsearch.c by avoiding the use
6498 of (int)(handle) when we know that handle contains (void *)(-1).
6499
650061. The Exim daemon panic-logs an error return when it closes the incoming
6501 connection. However "connection reset by peer" seems to be common, and
6502 isn't really an error worthy of noting specially, so that particular error
6503 is no long logged.
6504
650562. When Exim is trying to find all the local interfaces, it used to panic and
6506 die if the ioctl to get the interface flags failed. However, it seems that
6507 on at least one OS (Solaris 9) it is possible to have an interface that is
6508 included in the list of interfaces, but for which you get a failure error
6509 for this call. This happens when the interface is not "plumbed" into a
6510 protocol (i.e. neither IPv4 nor IPv6). I've changed the code so that a
6511 failure of the "get flags" call assumes that the interface is down.
6512
651363. Added a ${eval10: operator, which assumes all numbers are decimal. This
6514 makes life easier for people who are doing arithmetic on fields extracted
6515 from dates, where you often get leading zeros that should not be
6516 interpreted as octal.
6517
651864. Added qualify_domain to the redirect router, to override the global
6519 setting.
6520
652165. If a pathologically long header line contained very many addresses (the
6522 report of this problem mentioned 10 000) and each of them was rewritten,
6523 Exim could use up a very large amount of memory. (It kept on making new
6524 copies of the header line as it rewrote, and never released the old ones.)
6525 At the expense of a bit more processing, the header rewriting function has
6526 been changed so that it no longer eats memory in this way.
6527
652866. The generation of the Received: header has been moved from the time that a
6529 message starts to be received, to the time that it finishes. The timestamp
6530 in the Received: header should now be very close to that of the <= log
6531 line. There are two side-effects of this change:
6532
6533 (a) If a message is rejected by a DATA or non-SMTP ACL or local_scan(), the
6534 logged header lines no longer include the local Received: line, because
6535 it has not yet been created. The same applies to a copy of the message
6536 that is returned to a non-SMTP sender when a message is rejected.
6537
6538 (b) When a filter file is tested using -bf, no additional Received: header
6539 is added to the test message. After some thought, I decided that this
6540 is a bug fix.
6541
6542 This change does not affect the value of $received_for. It is still set
6543 after address rewriting, but before local_scan() is called.
6544
654567. Installed the latest Cygwin-specific files from the Cygwin maintainer.
6546
654768. GnuTLS: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, GnuTLS
6548 gave an unhelpful panic error message, and a defer error. I have managed to
6549 change this behaviour so that it now rejects any supplied certificate,
6550 which seems right, as the list of acceptable certificates is empty.
6551
655269. OpenSSL: If an empty file is specified for tls_verify_certificates, OpenSSL
6553 gave an unhelpful defer error. I have not managed to make this reject any
6554 supplied certificates, but the error message it gives is "no certificate
6555 supplied", which is not helpful.
6556
655770. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
6558 message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
6559 Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.
6560
656171. Recipient callout verification, like sender verification, was using <> in
6562 the MAIL FROM command. This isn't really the right thing, since the actual
6563 sender may affect whether the remote host accepts the recipient or not. I
6564 have changed it to use the actual sender in the callout; this means that
6565 the cache record is now keyed on a recipient/sender pair, not just the
6566 recipient address. There doesn't seem to be a real danger of callout loops,
6567 since a callout by the remote host to check the sender would use <>.
6568 [SEE ABOVE: changed after hitting problems.]
6569
657072. Exim treats illegal SMTP error codes that do not begin with 4 or 5 as
6571 temporary errors. However, in the case of such a code being given after
6572 the end of a data transmission (i.e. after ".") Exim was failing to write
6573 a retry record for the message. (Yes, there was some broken host that was
6574 actually sending 8xx at this point.)
6575
657673. An unknown lookup type in a host list could cause Exim to panic-die when
6577 the list was checked. (An example that provoked this was putting <; in the
6578 middle of a list instead of at the start.) If this happened during a DATA
6579 ACL check, a -D file could be left lying around. This kind of configuration
4c04137d 6580 error no longer causes Exim to die; instead it causes a defer error. The
495ae4b0
PH
6581 incident is still logged to the main and panic logs.
6582
658374. Buglet left over from Exim 3 conversion. The message "too many messages
6584 in one connection" was written to the rejectlog but not the mainlog, except
6585 when address rewriting (yes!) was being logged.
6586
658775. Added write_rejectlog option.
6588
658976. When a system filter was run not as root (that is, when system_filter_user
6590 was set), the values of the $n variables were not being returned to the
6591 main process; thus, they were not subsequently available in the $sn
6592 variables.
6593
659477. Added +return_path_on_delivery log selector.
6595
659678. A connection timeout was being treated differently from recipients deferred
6597 when testing hosts_max_try with a message that was older than the host's
6598 retry timeout. (The host should not be counted, thus allowing all hosts to
6599 be tried at least once before bouncing.) This may have been the cause of an
6600 occasionally reported bug whereby a message would remain on the queue
6601 longer than the retry timeout, but would be bounced if a delivery was
6602 forced. I say "may" because I never totally pinned down the problem;
6603 setting up timeout/retry tests is difficult. See also the next item.
6604
660579. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
6606 a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
6607 command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
6608 were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
6609 message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
6610
661180. Sieve bug: "stop" inside "elsif" was broken. Applied a patch from Michael
6612 Haardt.
6613
661481. Fixed an obscure SMTP outgoing bug which required at least the following
6615 conditions: (a) there was another message waiting for the same server;
6616 (b) the server returned 5xx to all RCPT commands in the first message so
6617 that the message was not completed; (c) the server dropped the connection
6618 or gave a negative response to the RSET that Exim sends to abort the
6619 transaction. The observed case was a dropped connection after DATA that had
6620 been sent in pipelining mode. That is, the server had advertised PIPELINING
6621 but was not implementing it correctly. The effect of the bug was incorrect
6622 behaviour, such as trying another host, and this could lead to a crash.
6623
6624
6625Exim version 4.30
6626-----------------
6627
6628 1. The 3rd arguments to getsockname(), getpeername(), and accept() in exim.c
6629 and daemon.c were passed as pointers to ints; they should have been
6630 pointers to socklen_t variables (which are typically unsigned ints).
6631
6632 2. Some signed/unsigned type warnings in the os.c file for Linux have been
6633 fixed.
6634
6635 3. Fixed a really odd bug that affected only the testing scheme; patching a
6636 certain fixed string in the binary changed the value of another string that
6637 happened to be identical to the end of the original first string.
6638
6639 4. When gethostbyname() (or equivalent) is passed an IP address as a "host
6640 name", it returns that address as the IP address. On some operating
6641 systems (e.g. Solaris), it also passes back the IP address string as the
6642 "host name". However, on others (e.g. Linux), it passes back an empty
6643 string. Exim wasn't checking for this, and was changing the host name to an
4c04137d 6644 empty string, assuming it had been canonicalized.
495ae4b0
PH
6645
6646 5. Although rare, it is permitted to have more than one PTR record for a given
6647 IP address. I thought that gethostbyaddr() or getipnodebyaddr() always gave
6648 all the names associated with an address, because they do in Solaris.
6649 However, it seems that they do not in Linux for data that comes from the
6650 DNS. If an address in /etc/hosts has multiple names, they _are_ all given.
6651 I found this out when I moved to a new Linux workstation and tried to run
6652 the Exim test suite.
6653
6654 To get round this problem I have changed the code so that it now does its
6655 own call to the DNS to look up PTR records when searching for a host name.
6656 If nothing can be found in the DNS, it tries gethostbyaddr(), so that
6657 addresses that are only in /etc/hosts are still found.
6658
6659 This behaviour is, however, controlled by an option called host_lookup_
6660 order, which defaults to "bydns:byaddr". If people want to use the other
6661 order, or indeed, just use one or the other means of lookup, they can
6662 specify it in this variable.
6663
6664 6. If a PTR record yields an empty name, Exim treats it as non-existent. In
6665 some operating systems, this comes back from gethostbyaddr() as an empty
6666 string, and this is what Exim used to test for. However, it seems that in
6667 other systems, "." is yielded. Exim now tests for this case too.
6668
6669 7. The values of check_spool_space and check_log_space are now held internally
6670 as a number of kilobytes instead of an absolute number of bytes. If a
6671 numbers is specified without 'K' or 'M', it is rounded up to the nearest
6672 kilobyte. This means that much larger values can be stored.
6673
6674 8. Exim monitor: an attempt to get the action menu when not actually pointing
6675 at a message produces an empty menu entitled "No message selected". This
6676 works on Solaris (OpenWindows). However, XFree86 does not like a menu with
6677 no entries in it ("Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height"). So I
6678 have added a single, blank menu entry in this case.
6679
6680 9. Added ${quote_local_part.
6681
668210. MIME decoding is now applied to the contents of Subject: header lines when
6683 they are logged.
6684
668511. Now that a reference to $sender_host_address automatically causes a reverse
6686 lookup to occur if necessary (4.13/18), there is no need to arrange for a
6687 host lookup before query-style lookups in lists that might use this
6688 variable. This has therefore been abolished, and the "net-" prefix is no
6689 longer necessary for query-style lookups.
6690
669112. The Makefile for SCO_SV contained a setting of LDFLAGS. This appears to
6692 have been a typo for LFLAGS, so it has been changed.
6693
669413. The install script calls Exim with "-C /dev/null" in order to find the
6695 version number. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set, this caused an error message
4c04137d 6696 to be output. However, since Exim outputs its version number before the
495ae4b0
PH
6697 error, it didn't break the script. It just looked ugly. I fixed this by
6698 always allowing "-C /dev/null" if the caller is root.
6699
670014. Ignore overlarge ACL variable number when reading spool file - insurance
6701 against a later release with more variables having written the file.
6702
670315. The standard form for an IPv6 address literal was being rejected by EHLO.
6704 Example: [IPv6:2002:c1ed:8229:10:202:2dff:fe07:a42a]. Exim now accepts
6705 this, as well as the form without the "IPv6" on the front.
6706
670716. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
6708 OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
6709
671017. Fixed typo in lookups/ldap.c: D_LOOKUP should be D_lookup. This applied
6711 only to LDAP libraries that do not have LDAP_OPT_DEREF.
6712
671318. After change 4.21/52, "%ld" was used to format the contents of the $inode
6714 variable. However, some OS use ints for inodes. I've added cast to long int
6715 to get rid of the compiler warning.
6716
671719. I had forgotten to lock out "/../" in configuration file names when
6718 ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX was set.
6719
672020. Routers used for verification do not need to specify transports. However,
6721 if such a router generated a host list, and callout was configured, Exim
6722 crashed, because it could not find a port number from the (non-existent)
6723 transport. It now assumes port 25 in this circumstance.
6724
672521. Added the -t option to exigrep.
6726
672722. If LOOKUP_LSEARCH is defined, all three linear search methods (lsearch,
6728 wildlsearch, nwildlsearch) are compiled. LOOKUP_WILDLSEARCH and LOOKUP_
6729 NWILDLSEARCH are now obsolete, but retained for compatibility. If either of
6730 them is set, LOOKUP_LSEARCH is forced.
6731
673223. "exim -bV" now outputs a list of lookups that are included in the binary.
6733
673424. Added sender and host information to the "rejected by local_scan()" log
6735 line; previously there was no indication of these.
6736
673725. Added .include_if_exists.
6738
673926. Change 3.952/11 added an explicit directory sync on top of a file sync for
6740 Linux. It turns out that not all file systems support this. Apparently some
6741 versions of NFS do not. (It's rare to put Exim's spool on NFS, but people
6742 do it.) To cope with this, the error EINVAL, which means that sync-ing is
6743 not supported on the file descriptor, is now ignored when Exim is trying to
6744 sync a directory. This applies only to Linux.
6745
674627. Added -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CLFAGS setting for Darwin.
6747
674828. In Darwin (MacOS X), the PAM headers are in /usr/include/pam and not in
6749 /usr/include/security. There's now a flag in OS/os.h-Darwin to cope with
6750 this.
6751
675229. Added support for maildirsize files from supplied patch (modified a bit).
6753
675430. The use of :fail: followed by an empty string could lead Exim to respond to
6755 sender verification failures with (e.g.):
6756
6757 550 Verification failed for <xxx>
6758 550 Sender verify failed
6759
6760 where the first response line was missing the '-' that indicates it is not
6761 the final line of the response.
6762
676331. The loop for finding the name of the user that called Exim had a hardwired
6764 limit of 10; it now uses the value of finduser_retries, which is used for
6765 all other user lookups.
6766
676732. Added $received_count variable, available in data and not_smtp ACLs, and at
6768 delivery time.
6769
677033. Exim was neglecting to zero errno before one call of strtol() when
6771 expanding a string and expecting an integer value. On some systems this
6772 resulted in spurious "integer overflow" errors. Also, it was casting the
6773 result into an int without checking.
6774
677534. Testing for a connection timeout using "timeout_connect" in the retry rules
6776 did not work. The code looks as if it has *never* worked, though it appears
4c04137d 6777 to have been documented since at least release 1.62. I have made it work.
495ae4b0
PH
6778
677935. The "timeout_DNS" error in retry rules, also documented since at least
6780 1.62, also never worked. As it isn't clear exactly what this means, and
6781 clearly it isn't a major issue, I have abolished the feature by treating it
6782 as "timeout", and writing a warning to the main and panic logs.
6783
678436. The display of retry rules for -brt wasn't always showing the error code
6785 correctly.
6786
678737. Added new error conditions to retry rules: timeout_A, timeout_MX,
6788 timeout_connect_A, timeout_connect_MX.
6789
679038. Rewriting the envelope sender at SMTP time did not allow it to be rewritten
6791 to the empty sender.
6792
679339. The daemon was not analysing the content of -oX till after it had closed
6794 stderr and disconnected from the controlling terminal. This meant that any
6795 syntax errors were only noted on the panic log, and the return code from
6796 the command was 0. By re-arranging the code a little, I've made the
6797 decoding happen first, so such errors now appear on stderr, and the return
6798 code is 1. However, the actual setting up of the sockets still happens in
6799 the disconnected process, so errors there are still only recorded on the
6800 panic log.
6801
680240. A daemon listener on a wildcard IPv6 socket that also accepts IPv4
6803 connections (as happens on some IP stacks) was logged at start up time as
6804 just listening for IPv6. It now logs "IPv6 with IPv4". This differentiates
6805 it from "IPv6 and IPv4", which means that two separate sockets are being
6806 used.
6807
680841. The debug output for gethostbyname2() or getipnodebyname() failures now
6809 says whether AF_INET or AF_INET6 was passed as an argument.
6810
681142. Exiwhat output was messed up when time zones were included in log
6812 timestamps.
6813
681443. Exiwhat now gives more information about the daemon's listening ports,
6815 and whether -tls-on-connect was used.
6816
681744. The "port" option of the smtp transport is now expanded.
6818
681945. A "message" modifier in a "warn" statement in a non-message ACL was being
6820 silently ignored. Now an error message is written to the main and panic
6821 logs.
6822
682346. There's a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which writes to a log file
6824 as soon as it is encountered.
6825
682647. Added $local_user_uid and $local_user_gid at routing time.
6827
682848. Exim crashed when trying to verify a sender address that was being
6829 rewritten to "<>".
6830
683149. Exim was recognizing only a space character after ".include". It now also
6832 recognizes a tab character.
6833
683450. Fixed several bugs in the Perl script that creates the exim.8 man page by
6835 extracting the relevant information from the specification. The man page no
6836 longer contains scrambled data for the -d option, and I've added a section
6837 at the front about calling Exim under different names.
6838
683951. Added "extra_headers" argument to the "mail" command in filter files.
6840
684152. Redirecting mail to an unqualified address in a Sieve filter caused Exim to
6842 crash.
6843
684453. Installed eximstats 1.29.
6845
684654. Added transport_filter_timeout as a generic transport option.
6847
684855. Exim no longer adds an empty Bcc: header to messages that have no To: or
6849 Cc: header lines. This was required by RFC 822, but it not required by RFC
6850 2822.
6851
685256. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to any
6853 incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only if the
6854 message originates locally, that is, if there is no associated remote host
6855 address. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
6856 lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.
6857
685857. Drop incoming SMTP connection after too many syntax or protocol errors. The
6859 limit is controlled by smtp_max_synprot_errors, defaulting to 3.
6860
686158. Messages for configuration errors now include the name of the main
6862 configuration file - useful now that there may be more than one file in a
6863 list (.included file names were always shown).
6864
686559. Change 4.21/82 (run initgroups() when starting the daemon) causes problems
6866 for those rare installations that do not start the daemon as root or run it
6867 setuid root. I've cut out the call to initgroups() if the daemon is not
6868 root at that time.
6869
687060. The Exim user and group can now be bound into the binary as text strings
6871 that are looked up at the start of Exim's processing.
6872
687361. Applied a small patch for the Interbase code, supplied by Ard Biesheuvel.
6874
687562. Added $mailstore_basename variable.
6876
687763. Installed patch to sieve.c from Michael Haardt.
6878
687964. When Exim failed to open the panic log after failing to open the main log,
6880 the original message it was trying to log was written to stderr and debug
6881 output, but if they were not available (the usual case in production), it
6882 was lost. Now it is written to syslog before the two lines that record the
6883 failures to open the logs.
6884
688565. Users' Exim filters run in subprocesses under the user's uid. It is
6886 possible for a "deliver" command or an alias in a "personal" command to
6887 provoke an address rewrite. If logging of address rewriting is configured,
6888 this fails because the process is not running as root or exim. There may be
6889 a better way of dealing with this, but for the moment (because 4.30 needs
6890 to be released), I have disabled address rewrite logging when running a
6891 filter in a non-root, non-exim process.
6892
6893
6894Exim version 4.24
6895-----------------
6896
6897 1. The buildconfig auxiliary program wasn't quoting the value set for
6898 HEADERS_CHARSET. This caused a compilation error complaining that 'ISO' was
6899 not defined. This bug was masked in 4.22 by the effect that was fixed in
6900 change 4.23/1.
6901
6902 2. Some messages that were rejected after a message id was allocated were
6903 shown as "incomplete" by exigrep. It no longer does this for messages that
6904 are rejected by local_scan() or the DATA or non-SMTP ACLs.
6905
6906 3. If a Message-ID: header used a domain literal in the ID, and Exim did not
6907 have allow_domain_literals set, the ID did not get logged in the <= line.
6908 Domain literals are now always recognized in Message-ID: header lines.
6909
6910 4. The first argument for a ${extract expansion item is the key name or field
6911 number. Leading and trailing spaces in this item were not being ignored,
6912 causing some misleading effects.
6913
6914 5. When deliver_drop_privilege was set, single queue runner processes started
6915 manually (i.e. by the command "exim -q") or by the daemon (which uses the
6916 same command in the process it spins off) were not dropping privilege.
6917
6918 6. When the daemon running as "exim" started a queue runner, it always
6919 re-executed Exim in the spun-off process. This is a waste of effort when
6920 deliver_drop_privilege is set. The new process now just calls the
6921 queue-runner function directly.
6922
6923
6924Exim version 4.23
6925-----------------
6926
6927 1. Typo in the src/EDITME file: it referred to HEADERS_DECODE_TO instead of
6928 HEADERS_CHARSET.
6929
6930 2. Change 4.21/73 introduced a bug. The pid file path set by -oP was being
6931 ignored. Though the use of -oP was forcing the writing of a pid file, it
6932 was always written to the default place.
6933
6934 3. If the message "no IP address found for host xxxx" is generated during
6935 incoming verification, it is now followed by identification of the incoming
6936 connection (so you can more easily find what provoked it).
6937
6938 4. Bug fix for Sieve filters: "stop" inside a block was not working properly.
6939
6940 5. Added some features to "harden" Exim a bit more against certain attacks:
6941
6942 (a) There is now a build-time option called FIXED_NEVER_USERS that can
6943 be put in Local/Makefile. This is like the never_users runtime option,
6944 but it cannot be overridden. The default setting is "root".
6945
6946 (b) If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is defined in Local/Makefile, it specifies a
6947 prefix string with which any file named in a -C command line option
6948 must start.
6949
6950 (c) If ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY is defined in Local/Makefile, root privilege
6951 is retained for -C and -D only if the caller of Exim is root. Without
6952 it, the exim user may also use -C and -D and retain privilege.
6953
6954 (d) If DISABLE_D_OPTION is defined in Local/Makefile, the use of the -D
6955 command line option is disabled.
6956
6957 6. Macro names set by the -D option must start with an upper case letter, just
6958 like macro names defined in the configuration file.
6959
6960 7. Added "dereference=" facility to LDAP.
6961
6962 8. Two instances of the typo "uknown" in the source files are fixed.
6963
6964 9. If a PERL_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile was not at the start of a line,
6965 the Configure-Makefile script screwed up while processing it.
6966
696710. Incorporated PCRE 4.4.
6968
696911. The SMTP synchronization check was not operating right at the start of an
6970 SMTP session. For example, it could not catch a HELO sent before the client
6971 waited for the greeting. There is now a check for outstanding input at the
6972 point when the greeting is written. Because of the duplex, asynchronous
6973 nature of TCP/IP, it cannot be perfect - the incorrect input may be on its
6974 way, but not yet received, when the check is performed.
6975
697612. Added tcp_nodelay to make it possible to turn of the setting of TCP_NODELAY
6977 on TCP/IP sockets, because this apparently causes some broken clients to
6978 timeout.
6979
698013. Installed revised OS/Makefile-CYGWIN and OS/os.c-cygwin (the .h file was
6981 unchanged) from the Cygwin maintainer.
6982
698314. The code for -bV that shows what is in the binary showed "mbx" when maildir
6984 was supported instead of testing for mbx. Effectively a typo.
6985
698615. The spa authenticator server code was not checking that the input it
6987 received was valid base64.
6988
698916. The debug output line for the "set" modifier in ACLs was not showing the
6990 name of the variable that was being set.
6991
699217. Code tidy: the variable type "vtype_string" was never used. Removed it.
6993
699418. Previously, a reference to $sender_host_name did not cause a DNS reverse
6995 lookup on its own. Something else was needed to trigger the lookup. For
6996 example, a match in host_lookup or the need for a host name in a host list.
6997 Now, if $sender_host_name is referenced and the host name has not yet been
6998 looked up, a lookup is performed. If the lookup fails, the variable remains
6999 empty, and $host_lookup_failed is set to "1".
7000
700119. Added "eqi" as a case-independent comparison operator.
7002
700320. The saslauthd authentication condition could segfault if neither service
7004 nor realm was specified.
7005
700621. If an overflowing value such as "2048M" was set for message_size_limit, the
7007 error message that was logged was misleading, and incoming SMTP
7008 connections were dropped. The message is now more accurate, and temporary
7009 errors are given to SMTP connections.
7010
701122. In some error situations (such as 21 above) Exim rejects all SMTP commands
7012 (except RSET) with a 421 error, until QUIT is received. However, it was
7013 failing to send a response to QUIT.
7014
701523. The HELO ACL was being run before the code for helo_try_verify_hosts,
7016 which made it impossible to use "verify = helo" in the HELO ACL. The HELO
7017 ACL is now run after the helo_try_verify_hosts code.
7018
701924. "{MD5}" and "{SHA1}" are now recognized as equivalent to "{md5"} and
7020 "{sha1}" in the "crypteq" expansion condition (in fact the comparison is
7021 case-independent, so other case variants are also recognized). Apparently
7022 some systems use these upper case variants.
7023
702425. If more than two messages were waiting for the same host, and a transport
7025 filter was specified for the transport, Exim sent two messages over the
7026 same TCP/IP connection, and then failed with "socket operation on non-
7027 socket" when it tried to send the third.
7028
702926. Added Exim::debug_write and Exim::log_write for embedded Perl use.
7030
703127. The extern definition of crypt16() in expand.c was not being excluded when
7032 the OS had its own crypt16() function.
7033
703428. Added bounce_return_body as a new option, and bounce_return_size_limit
7035 as a preferred synonym for return_size_limit, both as an option and as an
7036 expansion variable.
7037
703829. Added LIBS=-liconv to OS/Makefile-OSF1.
7039
704030. Changed the default configuration ACL to relax the local part checking rule
7041 for addresses that are not in any local domains. For these addresses,
7042 slashes and pipe symbols are allowed within local parts, but the sequence
7043 /../ is explicitly forbidden.
7044
704531. SPA server authentication was not clearing the challenge buffer before
7046 using it.
7047
704832. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
7049 well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
7050 seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.
7051
705233. Added Ard Biesheuvel's lookup code for accessing an Interbase database.
7053 However, I am unable to do any testing of this.
7054
705534. Fixed an infelicity in the appendfile transport. When checking directories
7056 for a mailbox, to see if any needed to be created, it was accidentally
7057 using path names with one or more superfluous leading slashes; tracing
7058 would show up entries such as stat("///home/ph10", 0xFFBEEA48).
7059
706035. If log_message is set on a "discard" verb in a MAIL or RCPT ACL, its
7061 contents are added to the log line that is written for every discarded
7062 recipient. (Previously a log_message setting was ignored.)
7063
706436. The ${quote: operator now quotes the string if it is empty.
7065
706637. The install script runs exim in order to find its version number. If for
7067 some reason other than non-existence or emptiness, which it checks, it
7068 could not run './exim', it was installing it with an empty version number,
7069 i.e. as "exim-". This error state is now caught, and the installation is
7070 aborted.
7071
707238. An argument was missing from the function that creates an error message
7073 when Exim fails to connect to the socket for saslauthd authentication.
7074 This could cause Exim to crash, or give a corrupted message.
7075
707639. Added isip, isip4, and isip6 to ${if conditions.
7077
707840. The ACL variables $acl_xx are now saved with the message, and can be
7079 accessed later in routers, transports, and filters.
7080
708141. The new lookup type nwildlsearch is like wildlsearch, except that the key
7082 strings in the file are not string-expanded.
7083
708442. If a MAIL command specified a SIZE value that was too large to fit into an
7085 int variable, the check against message_size_limit failed. Such values are
7086 now forced to INT_MAX, which is around 2Gb for a 32-bit variable. Maybe one
7087 day this will have to be increased, but I don't think I want to be around
7088 when emails are that large.
7089
7090
7091
7092Exim version 4.22
7093-----------------
7094
7095 1. Removed HAVE_ICONV=yes from OS/Makefile-FreeBSD, since it seems that
7096 iconv() is not standard in FreeBSD.
7097
7098 2. Change 4.21/17 was buggy and could cause stack overwriting on a system with
7099 IPv6 enabled. The observed symptom was a segmentation fault on return from
7100 the function os_common_find_running_interfaces() in src/os.c.
7101
7102 3. In the check_special_case() function in daemon.c I had used "errno" as an
7103 argument name, which causes warnings on some systems. This was basically a
7104 typo, since it was named "eno" in the comments!
7105
7106 4. The code that waits for the clock to tick (at a resolution of some fraction
7107 of a second) so as to ensure message-id uniqueness was always waiting for
7108 at least one whole tick, when it could have waited for less. [This is
7109 almost certainly not relevant at current processor speeds, where it is
7110 unlikely to ever wait at all. But we try to future-proof.]
7111
7112 5. The function that sleeps for a time interval that includes fractions of a
7113 second contained a race. It did not block SIGALRM between setting the
7114 timer, and suspending (a couple of lines later). If the interval was short
7115 and the sigsuspend() was delayed until after it had expired, the suspension
7116 never ended. On busy systems this could lead to processes getting stuck for
7117 ever.
7118
7119 6. Some uncommon configurations may cause a lookup to happen in a queue runner
7120 process, before it forks any delivery processes. The open lookup caching
7121 mechanism meant that the open file or database connection was passed into
7122 the delivery process. The problem was that delivery processes always tidy
7123 up cached lookup data. This could cause a problem for the next delivery
7124 process started by the queue runner, because the external queue runner
7125 process does not know about the closure. So the next delivery process
7126 still has data in the lookup cache. In the case of a file lookup, there was
7127 no problem because closing a file descriptor in a subprocess doesn't affect
7128 the parent. However, if the lookup was caching a connection to a database,
7129 the connection was closed, and the second delivery process was likely to
7130 see errors such as "PGSQL: query failed: server closed the connection
7131 unexpectedly". The problem has been fixed by closing all cached lookups
7132 in a queue runner before running a delivery process.
7133
7134 7. Compiler warning on Linux for the second argument of iconv(), which doesn't
7135 seem to have the "const" qualifier which it has on other OS. I've
7136 parameterised it.
7137
7138 8. Change 4.21/2 was too strict. It is only if there are two authenticators
7139 *of the same type* (client or server) with the same public name that an
7140 error should be diagnosed.
7141
7142 9. When Exim looked up a host name for an IP address, but failed to find the
7143 original IP address when looking up the host name (a safety check), it
7144 output the message "<ip address> does not match any IP for NULL", which was
7145 confusing, to say the least. The bug was that the host name should have
7146 appeared instead of "NULL".
7147
714810. Since release 3.03, if Exim is called by a uid other than root or the Exim
7149 user that is built into the binary, and the -C or -D options is used, root
7150 privilege is dropped before the configuration file is read. In addition,
7151 logging is switched to stderr instead of the normal log files. If the
7152 configuration then re-defines the Exim user, the unprivileged environment
7153 is probably not what is expected, so Exim logs a panic warning message (but
7154 proceeds).
7155
7156 However, if deliver_drop_privilege is set, the unprivileged state may well
7157 be exactly what is intended, so the warning has been cut out in that case,
7158 and Exim is allowed to try to write to its normal log files.
7159
7160
7161Exim version 4.21
7162-----------------
7163
7164 1. smtp_return_error_details was not giving details for temporary sender
7165 or receiver verification errors.
7166
7167 2. Diagnose a configuration error if two authenticators have the same public
7168 name.
7169
7170 3. Exim used not to create the message log file for a message until the first
7171 delivery attempt. This could be confusing when incoming messages were held
7172 for policy or load reasons. The message log file is now created at the time
7173 the message is received, and an initial "Received" line is written to it.
7174
7175 4. The automatically generated man page for command line options had a minor
7176 bug that caused no ill effects; however, a more serious problem was that
7177 the procedure for building the man page automatically didn't always
7178 operate. Consequently, release 4.20 contains an out-of-date version. This
7179 shouldn't happen again.
7180
7181 5. When building Exim with embedded Perl support, the script that builds the
7182 Makefile was calling 'perl' to find its compile-time parameters, ignoring
7183 any setting of PERL_COMMAND in Local/Makefile. This is now fixed.
7184
7185 6. The freeze_tell option was not being used for messages that were frozen on
7186 arrival, either by an ACL or by local_scan().
7187
7188 7. Added the smtp_incomplete_transaction log selector.
7189
7190 8. After STARTTLS, Exim was not forgetting that it had advertised AUTH, so it
7191 was accepting AUTH without a new EHLO.
7192
7193 9. Added tls_remember_esmtp to cope with YAEB. This allows AUTH and other
7194 ESMTP extensions after STARTTLS without a new EHLO, in contravention of the
7195 RFC.
7196
719710. Logging of TCP/IP connections (when configured) now happens in the main
7198 daemon process instead of the child process, so that the TCP/IP connection
7199 count is more accurate (but it can never be perfect).
7200
720111. The use of "drop" in a nested ACL was not being handled correctly in the
7202 outer ACL. Now, if condition failure induced by the nested "drop" causes
7203 the outer ACL verb to deny access ("accept" or "discard" after "endpass",
7204 or "require"), the connection is dropped.
7205
720612. Similarly, "discard" in a nested ACL wasn't being handled. A nested ACL
7207 that yield "discard" can now be used with an "accept" or a "discard" verb,
7208 but an error is generated for any others (because I can't see a useful way
7209 to define what should happen).
7210
721113. When an ACL is read dynamically from a file (or anywhere else), the lines
7212 are now processed in the same way as lines in the Exim configuration file.
7213 In particular, continuation lines are supported.
7214
721514. Added the "dnslists = a.b.c!=n.n.n.n" feature.
7216
721715. Added -ti meaning -t -i.
7218
721916. Check for letters, digits, hyphens, and dots in the names of dnslist
7220 domains, and warn by logging if others are found.
7221
4c04137d 722217. At least on BSD, alignment is not guaranteed for the array of ifreq's
495ae4b0
PH
7223 returned from GIFCONF when Exim is trying to find the list of interfaces on
7224 a host. The code in os.c has been modified to copy each ifreq to an aligned
7225 structure in all cases.
7226
7227 Also, in some cases, the returned ifreq's were being copied to a 'struct
7228 ifreq' on the stack, which was subsequently passed to host_ntoa(). That
7229 means the last couple of bytes of an IPv6 address could be chopped if the
7230 ifreq contained only a normal sockaddr (14 bytes storage).
7231
723218. Named domain lists were not supported in the hosts_treat_as_local option.
7233 An entry such as +xxxx was not recognized, and was treated as a literal
7234 domain name.
7235
723619. Ensure that header lines added by a DATA ACL are included in the reject log
7237 if the ACL subsequently rejects the message.
7238
723920. Upgrade the cramtest.pl utility script to use Digest::MD5 instead of just
7240 MD5 (which is deprecated).
7241
724221. When testing a filter file using -bf, Exim was writing a message when it
7243 took the sender from a "From " line in the message, but it was not doing so
7244 when it took $return_path from a Return-Path: header line. It now does.
7245
724622. If the contents of a "message" modifier for a "warn" ACL verb do not begin
7247 with a valid header line field name (a series of printing characters
7248 terminated by a colon, Exim now inserts X-ACL-Warn: at the beginning.
7249
725023. Changed "disc" in the source to "disk" to conform to the documentation and
7251 the book and for uniformity.
7252
725324. Ignore Sendmail's -Ooption=value command line item.
7254
725525. When execve() failed while trying to run a command in a pipe transport,
4c04137d 7256 Exim was returning EX_UNAVAILABLE (69) from the subprocess. However, this
495ae4b0
PH
7257 could be confused with a return value of 69 from the command itself. This
7258 has been changed to 127, the value the shell returns if it is asked to run
7259 a non-existent command. The wording for the related log line suggests a
7260 non-existent command as the problem.
7261
726226. If received_header_text expands to an empty string, do not add a Received:
7263 header line to the message. (Well, it adds a token one on the spool, but
7264 marks it "old" so that it doesn't get used or transmitted.)
7265
726627. Installed eximstats 1.28 (addition of -nt option).
7267
726828. There was no check for failure on the call to getsockname() in the daemon
7269 code. This can fail if there is a shortage of resources on the system, with
7270 ENOMEM, for example. A temporary error is now given on failure.
7271
727229. Contrary to the C standard, it seems that in some environments, the
7273 equivalent of setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") is not obeyed at the start of a C
7274 program. Exim now does this explicitly; it affects the formatting of
7275 timestamps using strftime().
7276
727730. If exiqsumm was given junk data, it threw up some uninitialized variable
7278 complaints. I've now initialized all the variables, to avoid this.
7279
728032. Header lines added by a system filter were not being "seen" during
7281 transport-time rewrites.
7282
728333. The info_callback() function passed to OpenSSL is set up with type void
7284 (*)(SSL *, int, int), as described somewhere. However, when calling the
7285 function (actually a macro) that sets it up, the type void(*)() is
7286 expected. I've put in a cast to prevent warnings from picky compilers.
7287
728834. If a DNS black list lookup found a CNAME record, but there were no A
7289 records associated with the domain it pointed at, Exim crashed.
7290
729135. If a DNS black list lookup returned more than one A record, Exim ignored
7292 all but the first. It now scans all returned addresses if a particular IP
7293 value is being sought. In this situation, the contents of the
7294 $dnslist_value variable are a list of all the addresses, separated by a
7295 comma and a space.
7296
729736. Tightened up the rules for host name lookups using reverse DNS. Exim used
7298 to accept a host name and all its aliases if the forward lookup for any of
7299 them yielded the IP address of the incoming connection. Now it accepts only
7300 those names whose forward lookup yields the correct IP address. Any other
7301 names are discarded. This closes a loophole whereby a rogue DNS
7302 administrator could create reverse DNS records to break through a
7303 wildcarded host restriction in an ACL.
7304
730537. If a user filter or a system filter that ran in a subprocess used any of
7306 the numerical variables ($1, $2 etc), or $thisaddress, in a pipe command,
7307 the wrong values were passed to the pipe command ($thisaddress had the
7308 value of $0, $0 had the value of $1, etc). This bug was introduced by
7309 change 4.11/101, and not discovered because I wrote an inadequate test. :-(
7310
731138. Improved the line breaking for long SMTP error messages from ACLs.
7312 Previously, if there was no break point between 40 and 75 characters, Exim
7313 left the rest of the message alone. Two changes have been made: (a) I've
7314 reduced the minimum length to 35 characters; (b) if it can't find a break
7315 point between 35 and 75 characters, it looks ahead and uses the first one
7316 that it finds. This may give the occasional overlong line, but at least the
7317 remaining text gets split now.
7318
731939. Change 82 of 4.11 was unimaginative. It assumed the limit on the number of
7320 file descriptors might be low, and that setting 1000 would always raise it.
7321 It turns out that in some environments, the limit is already over 1000 and
7322 that lowering it causes trouble. So now Exim takes care not to decrease it.
7323
732440. When delivering a message, the value of $return_path is set to $sender_
7325 address at the start of routing (routers may change the value). By an
7326 oversight, this default was not being set up when an address was tested by
7327 -bt or -bv, which affected the outcome if any router or filter referred to
7328 $return_path.
7329
733041. The idea of the "warn" ACL verb is that it adds a header or writes to the
7331 log only when "message" or "log_message" are set. However, if one of the
7332 conditions was an address verification, or a call to a nested ACL, the
7333 messages generated by the underlying test were being passed through. This
7334 no longer happens. The underlying message is available in $acl_verify_
7335 message for both "message" and "log_message" expansions, so it can be
7336 passed through if needed.
7337
733842. Added RFC 2047 interpretation of header lines for $h_ expansions, with a
7339 new expansion $bh_ to give the encoded byte string without charset
7340 translation. Translation happens only if iconv() is available; HAVE_ICONV
7341 indicates this at build time. HEADERS_CHARSET gives the charset to
7342 translate to; headers_charset can change it in the configuration, and
7343 "headers charset" can change it in an individual filter file.
7344
734543. Now that we have a default RFC 2047 charset (see above), the code in Exim
7346 that creates RFC 2047 encoded "words" labels them as that charset instead
7347 of always using iso-8859-1. The cases are (i) the explicit ${rfc2047:
7348 expansion operator; (ii) when Exim creates a From: line for a local
7349 message; (iii) when a header line is rewritten to include a "phrase" part.
7350
735144. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
7352 buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
7353 ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
7354 message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
7355 incorrect size information for certain domains.
7356
735745. #include "config.h" was missing at the start of the crypt16.c module. This
7358 caused trouble on Tru64 (aka OSF1) systems, because HAVE_CRYPT16 was not
7359 noticed.
7360
736146. If there was a timeout during a "random" callout check, Exim treated it as
7362 a failure of the random address, and carried on sending RSET and the real
7363 address. If the delay was just some slowness somewhere, the response to the
7364 original RCPT would be taken as a response to RSET and so on, causing
7365 mayhem of various kinds.
7366
736747. Change 50 for 4.20 was a heap of junk. I don't know what I was thinking
7368 when I implemented it. It didn't allow for the fact that some option values
4c04137d 7369 may legitimately be negative (e.g. size_addition), and it didn't even do
495ae4b0
PH
7370 the right test for positive values.
7371
737248. Domain names in DNS records are case-independent. Exim always looks them up
7373 in lower case. Some resolvers return domain names in exactly the case they
7374 appear in the zone file, that is, they may contain uppercase letters. Not
7375 all resolvers do this - some return always lower case. Exim was treating a
7376 change of case by a resolver as a change of domain, similar to a widening
7377 of a domain abbreviation. This triggered its re-routing code and so it was
7378 trying to route what was effectively the same domain again. This normally
7379 caused routing to fail (because the router wouldn't handle the domain
7380 twice). Now Exim checks for this case specially, and just changes the
7381 casing of the domain that it ultimately uses when it transmits the message
7382 envelope.
7383
738449. Added Sieve (RFC 3028) support, courtesy of Michael Haardt's contributed
7385 module.
7386
738750. If a filter generated a file delivery with a non-absolute name (possible if
7388 no home directory exists for the router), the forbid_file option was not
7389 forbidding it.
7390
739151. Added '&' feature to dnslists, to provide bit mask matching in addition to
7392 the existing equality matching.
7393
739452. Exim was using ints instead of ino_t variables in some places where it was
7395 dealing with inode numbers.
7396
739753. If TMPDIR is defined in Local/Makefile (default in src/EDITME is
7398 TMPDIR="/tmp"), Exim checks for the presence of an environment variable
7399 called TMPDIR, and if it finds it is different, it changes its value.
7400
740154. The smtp_printf() function is now made available to local_scan() so
7402 additional output lines can be written before returning. There is also an
7403 smtp_fflush() function to enable the detection of a dropped connection.
7404 The variables smtp_input and smtp_batched_input are exported to
7405 local_scan().
7406
740755. Changed the default runtime configuration: the message "Unknown user"
7408 has been removed from the ACL, and instead placed on the localuser router,
7409 using the cannot_route_message feature. This means that any verification
7410 failures that generate their own messages won't get overridden. Similarly,
7411 the "Unrouteable address" message that was in the ACL for unverifiable
7412 relay addresses has also been removed.
7413
741456. Added hosts_avoid_esmtp to the smtp transport.
7415
741657. The exicyclog script was not checking for the esoteric option
7417 CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in the Local/Makefile. It now does this, but it
7418 will work only if exicyclog is run under the appropriate euid.
7419
742058. Following a discussion on the list, the rules by which Exim recognises line
7421 endings on incoming messages have been changed. The -dropcr and drop_cr
7422 options are now no-ops, retained only for backwards compatibility. The
7423 following line terminators are recognized: LF CRLF CR. However, special
7424 processing applies to CR:
7425
7426 (i) The sequence CR . CR does *not* terminate an incoming SMTP message,
7427 nor a local message in the state where . is a terminator.
7428
7429 (ii) If a bare CR is encountered in a header line, an extra space is added
7430 after the line terminator so as not to end the header. The reasoning
7431 behind this is that bare CRs in header lines are most likely either
7432 to be mistakes, or people trying to play silly games.
7433
743459. The size of a message, as listed by "-bp" or in the Exim monitor window,
7435 was being incorrectly given as 18 bytes larger than it should have been.
7436 This is a VOB (very old bug).
7437
743860. This may never have affected anything current, but just in case it has:
7439 When the local host is found other than at the start of a list of hosts,
7440 the local host, those with the same MX, and any that follow, are discarded.
7441 When the list in question was part of a longer list of hosts, the following
7442 hosts (not currently being processed) were also being discarded. This no
7443 longer happens. I'm not sure if this situation could ever has previously
7444 arisen.
7445
744661. Added the "/MX" feature to lists of hosts in the manualroute and query
7447 program routers.
7448
744962. Whenever Exim generates a new message, it now adds an Auto-Submitted:
7450 header. This is something that is recommended in a new Internet Draft, and
7451 is something that is documented as being done by Sendmail. There are two
7452 possible values. For messages generated by the autoreply transport, Exim
7453 adds:
7454
7455 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
7456
7457 whereas for all other generated messages (e.g. bounces) it adds
7458
7459 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
7460
746163. The "personal" condition in filters now includes a test for the
7462 Auto-Submitted: header. If it contains the string "auto-" the message it
7463 not considered personal.
7464
746564. Added rcpt_include_affixes as a generic transport option.
7466
746765. Added queue_only_override (default true).
7468
746966. Added the syslog_duplication option.
7470
747167. If what should have been the first header line of a message consisted of
7472 a space followed by a colon, Exim was mis-interpreting it as a header line.
7473 It isn't of course - it is syntactically invalid and should therefore be
7474 treated as the start of the message body. The misbehaviour could have
7475 caused a number of strange effects, including loss of data in subsequent
7476 header lines, and spool format errors.
7477
747868. Formerly, the AUTH parameter on a MAIL command was trusted only if the
7479 client host had authenticated. This control can now be exercised by an ACL
7480 for more flexibility.
7481
748269. By default, callouts do not happen when testing with -bh. There is now a
7483 variant, -bhc, which does actually run the callout code, including
7484 consulting and updating the callout cache.
7485
748670. Added support for saslauthd authentication, courtesy of Alexander
7487 Sabourenkov.
7488
748971. If statvfs() failed on the spool or log directories while checking their
7490 size for availability, Exim confusingly gave the error "space shortage".
7491 Furthermore, in debugging mode it crashed with a floating point exception.
7492 These checks are done if check_{spool,log}_{space,inodes} are set, and when
7493 an SMTP message arrives with SIZE= on the MAIL command. As this is a really
7494 serious problem, Exim now writes to the main and panic logs when this
7495 happens, with details of the failure. It then refuses to accept the
7496 incoming message, giving the message "spool directory problem" or "log
7497 directory problem" with a 421 code for SMTP messages.
7498
749972. When Exim is about to re-exec itself, it ensures that the file descriptors
7500 0, 1, and 2 exist, because some OS complain for execs without them (see
7501 ChangeLog 4.05/30). If necessary, Exim opens /dev/null to use for these
7502 descriptors. However, the code omitted to check that the open succeeded,
7503 causing mysterious errors if for some reason the permissions on /dev/null
7504 got screwed. Now Exim writes a message to the main and panic logs, and
7505 bombs out if it can't open /dev/null.
7506
750773. Re-vamped the way daemon_smtp_port, local_interfaces, and -oX work and
7508 interact so that it is all more flexible. It is supposed to remain
7509 backwards compatible. Also added extra_local_interfaces.
7510
751174. Invalid data sent to a SPA (NTLM) server authenticator could cause the code
7512 to bomb out with an assertion failure - to the client this appears as a
7513 connection drop. This problem occurs in the part of the code that was taken
7514 from the Samba project. Fortunately, the assertion is in a very simple
7515 function, so I have fixed this by reproducing the function inline in the
7516 one place where it is called, and arranging for authentication to fail
7517 instead of killing the process with assert().
7518
751975. The SPA client code was not working when the server requested OEM rather
7520 than Unicode encoding.
7521
752276. Added code to make require_files with a specific uid setting more usable in
7523 the case where statting the file as root fails - usually a non-root-mounted
7524 NFS file system. When this happens and the failure is EACCES, Exim now
7525 forks a subprocess and does the per-uid checking as the relevant uid.
7526
752777. Added process_log_path.
7528
752978. If log_file_path was not explicitly set, a setting of check_log_space or
7530 check_log_inodes was ignored.
7531
753279. If a space check for the spool or log partitions fails, the incident is now
7533 logged. Of course, in the latter case the data may get lost...
7534
753580. Added the %p formatting code to string_format() so that it can be used to
7536 print addresses in debug_print(). Adjusted all the address printing in the
7537 debugging in store.c to use %p rather than %d.
7538
753981. There was a concern that a line of code in smtp_in.c could overflow a
7540 buffer if a HELO/EHLO command was given followed by 500 or so spaces. As
7541 initially expressed, the concern was not well-founded, because trailing
7542 spaces are removed early. However, if the trailing spaces were followed by
7543 a NULL, they did not get removed, so the overflow was possible. Two fixes
7544 were applied:
7545
7546 (a) I re-wrote the offending code in a cleaner fashion.
7547 (b) If an incoming SMTP command contains a NULL character, it is rejected
7548 as invalid.
7549
755082. When Exim changes uid/gid to the Exim user at daemon start time, it now
7551 runs initgroups(), so that if the Exim user is in any additional groups,
7552 they will be used during message reception.
7553
7554
