JH
7JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16
8 and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request
9 it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
10 client dropping the TLS connection.

TF
12TF/01 Code cleanup: Overhaul the debug_selector and log_selector machinery to
13 support variable-length bit vectors. No functional change.
14

TF
15TF/02 Improve the consistency of logging incoming and outgoing interfaces.
16 The I= interface field on outgoing lines is now after the H= remote
17 host field, same as incoming lines. There is a separate
18 outgoing_interface log selector which allows you to disable the
19 outgoing I= field.
20

JH
21JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
22 If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
23 open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
24 deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
25 leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
26 check on the next write.

28HS/01 Bug 1671: Fix post transport crash.
29 Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
30 process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
31 using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
32 file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.

37JH/04 Bug 1686: When compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_DSN_INFO: Add extra information
38 to DSN fail messages (bounces): remote IP, remote greeting, remote response
39 to HELO, local diagnostic string.
40
805bb5c3
JH
41JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from
42 log line to debug. Even when configured with a tls authenticator many
43 client connections are expected to not authenticate in this way, so
44 an authenticate fail is not an error.

47 gives some more detail about the running daemon.

49JH/06 Bug 1395: time-limit cacheing of DNS lookups, to the TTL value. This may
50 matter for fast-change records such as DNSBLs.
51
6f6dedcc
JH
52JH/07 Bug 1678: Always record an interface option value, if set, as part of a
53 retry record, even if constant. There may be multiple transports with
54 different interface settings and the retry behaviour needs to be kept
55 distinct.

79JH/17 Bug 1713: Fix non-PDKIM_DEBUG build. Patch from Jasen Betts.
80
23f3dc67
JH
81JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
82 defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built
83 with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testuite sane.
84 If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
85 logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably
86 they will retry in-clear.
87 Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
88 at installation time.

01a4a5c5 101JH/04 Certificate name checking on server certificates, when exim is a client,
b3ef41c9 102 is now done by default. The transport option tls_verify_cert_hostnames
01a4a5c5
JH
103 can be used to disable this per-host. The build option
104 EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES is withdrawn.

186 Normally benign, it bites when the pair was led to by a CNAME;

188 (and we were inconsistent anyway for A-only vs AAAA+A).

211Exim version 4.85
212-----------------
213TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
214 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
215 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
216 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
217 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
218 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
219 the script parsing/test process like normal.

246JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process. Several recipients, combined
247 with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split
248 over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly. This eventually
249 resulted in duplicates being sent. This issue only became common enough
250 to notice due to the introduction of conection certificate information,
251 the item size being so much larger. Found and fixed by Wolfgang Breyha.

aec45841 263 and $event_defer_errno. There is a new variable $verify_mode, usable in

323TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
324
325 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
326 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
327 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
328 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
329 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging

576TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
577
578 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
579 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
580 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
581 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
582 the retry rules.
583
584 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
585 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
586 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
587
588 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
589 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
590 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
591 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
592
1ddeb334
TF
593 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
594 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
595 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
596 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
597 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
598 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
599 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
600
601 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
602 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

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

637 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
638 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
639 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
640 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
641 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
642 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
643 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
644 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
645 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
646 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

924TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
925 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
926 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
927
928 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
929 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
930 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
931 not safe for signals.
932
933 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
934 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
935 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
936 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
937 exiwhat.
938
c99ce5c9
TF
939TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
940
941 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
942 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
943 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
944 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
945 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
946
947 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
948 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
949 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
950 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
951 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
952 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
953
954 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
955 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
956 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
957 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
958
959 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
960 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
961 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
962 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
963
964 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
965 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
966 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
967 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
968 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
969 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
970 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
971 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
972 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
973
974 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
975 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
976 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
977 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
978
979 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
980 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
981 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
982 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
983 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
984 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
985 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
986 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
987 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
988 details in the main documentation.

1538 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1539 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
1540 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
1541 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
1542 build errors in sieve.c.

1561

PH
1562PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1563 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1564 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1565 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1566 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1567 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1568 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1569 for iplsearch lookups.
1570
1571 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1572 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1573 previously such lookups could never work.
1574
1575 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1576 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1577 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

1582MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1583 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1584 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1585 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1586 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1587 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

1783 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1784 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1785 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1786 pipelining has not been advertised.

1860 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1861 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1862 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1863 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1864 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1865 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1866 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1867 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1878PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
1879 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1880
1881 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1882 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1883
1884 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1885 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1886 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1887
1888 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1889 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1890 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1891 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1892 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

PH
1936PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1937 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1938 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1939 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1940 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1941 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1942 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1943 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1944 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1945 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1946 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

1980PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
1981 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
1982 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
1983 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
1984 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
1985 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
1986 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
1987 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 1990 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
1991 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
1992 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
1993 function.
1994 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
1995 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
1996 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
1997 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
1998 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
1999 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2000 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2001 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2002 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2007PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2008 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2009 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2010 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2011 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2012 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2013 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2014 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
2020PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2021 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2022 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2023 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2024 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2025 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2026 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2027 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2028 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2029 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2030 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2031 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2032 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
2034PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2035 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2036 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2037 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2038 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2039 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2040 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2042PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2043 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2044 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2045 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2046 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2047 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2048 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2049 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2050 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2051 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

602e59e5
PH
2053PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2054 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2055 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2056 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2057 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2059PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2060 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2061 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2062 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2063 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2064 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2065 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

PH
2067PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
2068 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
2069 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
2070 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2071 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2072 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2073 been verified.

2104
2105PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2106 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2107 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2108 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2109 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2110 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2111 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2112 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2113 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2114
2115 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2116 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2117 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2118 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2119 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2120 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2121 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2122 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2123 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2124
2125 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2126 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2127 hammering the server.

PH
2142PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2143 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
2144 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
2145 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2146 fails.
2147
48c7f9e2
PH
2148PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2149 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2150 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2151 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
2152 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
2153 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2154 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2155 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2156 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2157 smtp transport.

2425PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
2426 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
2427 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2428 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2429 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2430 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2431 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2432 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2433 451 error is used.

2458 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
2459 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an

2469PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2470 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2471 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2472 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2473 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2474 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2475 addresses as local.

2517 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
2518 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
2519 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
2520 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a

2538 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
2539 changes:
2540
2541 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2542 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2543 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
2544

2547 the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.

2552PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
2553 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2554 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2555 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2556 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2557 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2558 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2559 values from the SRV records were lost.

2561PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

727071f8
PH
2569PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2570 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2571 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2572 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2573 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2574 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2575 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2576 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2577 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2674PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2675 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2676 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2677 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2678 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2679 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2680 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2681 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2682 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

2733 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as

2804PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2805 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2806 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2807 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2808 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2809 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2810 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2811 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2812 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2813 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2814 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2837
2838 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
2839 string.
2840
2841 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2842 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2843 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2844 silly things.
2845
2846 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
2847 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

2870PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2871 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2872 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2873 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2874 identical. For example:
2875
2876 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2877
2878 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2879 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2880 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2908
2909 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
2910
2911 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
2912 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
2913 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
2914 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
2915 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
2916
2917 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
2918
2919 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
2920
2921 The auto-replied keyword:
2922
2923 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
2924 message by an automatic process,
2925

2969PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
2970 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
2971 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
2972 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
2973 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
2974 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
2975 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
2976 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
2977 the text comparison.

3145
3146PH/34 There are settings for CHOWN_COMMAND and MV_COMMAND that can be used in
3147 Local/Makefile (with some defaults set). These are used in built scripts
3148 such as exicyclog, but they have never been used in the exim_install
3149 script (though there are many overriding facilities there). I have
3150 arranged that the exim_install script now takes note of these two
3151 settings.

3155PH/36 When a locally submitted message by a trusted user did not contain a
3156 From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP
3157 MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender
3158 name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From:
3159 header. Furthermore, $originator_name was used for submission mode
3160 messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way,
3161 which is clearly wrong.

3165PH/38 When log_selector = +received_sender was set, and the addition of the

3168 subsequently added.

3195 avoiding the need to install special zones in a real server. This is

3227TF/08 Change PH/13 introduced the possibility that verify=helo may defer,

3241PH/01 When a transport filter timed out in a pipe delivery, and the pipe

3251PH/03 The warning log line about a condition test deferring for a "warn" verb
3252 was being output only once per connection, rather than after each

3256TF/02 Two buglets in acl.c which caused Exim to read a few bytes of memory that

PH
3274PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
3275 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
3276 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
3277 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
3278 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
3279 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.

PH
3281PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
3282 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
3283 write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
3284 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
3285 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
3286 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

3315TK/07 MBOX spool code: Add X-Envelope-From: and X-Envelope-To: headers.

3318 obviously out-of-the-box. Patch from Alex Miller.

3320PH/08 The ${def test on a variable was returning false if the variable's

3323
3324PH/09 The syntax error of a character other than { following "${if
3325 def:variable_name" (after optional whitespace) was not being diagnosed.
3326 An expansion such as ${if def:sender_ident:{xxx}{yyy}} in which an
3327 accidental colon was present, for example, could give incorrect results.
