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.

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.

34JH/03 Bug 425: Capture substrings in $regex1, $regex2 etc from regex &
35 mime_regex ACL conditions.

JH
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.

46HS/02 Add the Exim version string to the process info. This way exiwhat
47 gives some more detail about the running daemon.

JH
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.

57JH/08 Bug 1586: exiqgrep now refuses to run if there are unexpected arguments.

63JH/11 Bug 830: use same host for all RCPTS of a message, even under
64 hosts_randomize. This matters a lot when combined with mua_wrapper.

JH
69JH/13 Bug 1708: avoid misaligned access in cached lookup.
70

JH
71JH/14 Change header file name for freeradius-client. Relevant if compiling
72 with Radius support; from the Gentoo tree and checked under Fedora.
73

76JH/16 Bug 1714: Permit an empty string as expansion result for transport
77 option transport_filter, meaning no filtering.

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.
89
240c288f
JH
90HS/03 Add -bP config_file as a synonym for -bP configure_file, for consistency
91 with the $config_file variable.
92
5ef5dd52
JB
93JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
94 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
95 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
96 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
97 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx reponse.
98
e161710d
GF
99GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
100 to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
101 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
102 installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
103 result is that the running daemon panics and dies.
104

JH
105JH/20 Bug 1701: For MySQL lookups, support MySQL config file option group names.
106
7f06582c
JH
107JH/21 Bug 1720: Add support for priority groups and weighted-random proxy
108 selection for the EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS feature, via new per-proxy options
109 "pri" and "weight". Note that the previous implicit priority given by the
110 list order is no longer honoured.

131 it.
132
01a4a5c5 133JH/04 Certificate name checking on server certificates, when exim is a client,
b3ef41c9 134 is now done by default. The transport option tls_verify_cert_hostnames
01a4a5c5
JH
135 can be used to disable this per-host. The build option
136 EXPERIMENTAL_CERTNAMES is withdrawn.
137
cb1d7830 138JH/05 The value of the tls_verify_certificates smtp transport and main options
0e0f3f56 139 default to the word "system" to access the system default CA bundle.

143 (but not required) by default. The verification status is now logged by
144 default, for both outbound TLS and client-certificate supplying inbound
145 TLS connections
610ff438 146

148 sites use this now.
149
50dc7409
JH
150JH/08 The EXPERIMENTAL_DSN compile option is no longer needed; all Delivery
151 Status Notification (bounce) messages are now MIME format per RFC 3464.
152 Support for RFC 3461 DSN options NOTIFY,ENVID,RET,ORCPT can be advertised
153 under the control of the dsn_advertise_hosts option, and routers may
154 have a dsn_lasthop option.

218 Normally benign, it bites when the pair was led to by a CNAME;
219 modern usage is to not canoicalize the domain to a CNAME target
220 (and we were inconsistent anyway for A-only vs AAAA+A).

243Exim version 4.85
244-----------------
245TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as
246 no_msglog_check are global and can be placed anywhere in a specific
247 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
248 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
249 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
250 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
251 the script parsing/test process like normal.

261TL/03 Bugzilla 1518: Clarify "condition" processing in routers; that
262 syntax errors in an expansion can be treated as a string instead of

WB
278JH/05 Fix results-pipe from transport process. Several recipients, combined
279 with certificate use, exposed issues where response data items split
280 over buffer boundaries were not parsed properly. This eventually
281 resulted in duplicates being sent. This issue only became common enough
282 to notice due to the introduction of conection certificate information,
283 the item size being so much larger. Found and fixed by Wolfgang Breyha.

aec45841 295 and $event_defer_errno. There is a new variable $verify_mode, usable in

355TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
356
357 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
358 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
359 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
360 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
361 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging

608TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
609
610 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
611 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
612 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
613 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
614 the retry rules.
615
616 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
617 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
618 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
619
620 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
621 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
622 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
623 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
624
1ddeb334
TF
625 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
626 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
627 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
628 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
629 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
630 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
631 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
632
633 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
634 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

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

669 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.

672 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
673 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
674 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
675 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
676 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
677 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
678 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

956TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
957 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
958 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
959
960 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
961 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
962 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
963 not safe for signals.
964
965 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
966 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
967 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
968 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
969 exiwhat.

c99ce5c9
TF
971TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
972
973 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
974 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
975 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
976 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
977 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
978
979 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
980 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
981 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
982 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
983 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
984 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
985
986 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
987 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
988 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
989 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
990
991 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
992 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
993 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
994 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
995
996 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
997 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
998 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
999 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1000 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1001 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1002 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1003 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1004 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1005
1006 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1007 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1008 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1009 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1010
1011 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1012 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1013 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1014 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1015 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1016 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1017 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1018 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1019 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1020 details in the main documentation.

1570 Note to Michael Haardt: I had to rename some vars in sieve.c. They
1571 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved
1572 keyword to be used with 'bool' variable types. That means you could
1573 not include C99-style headers which use bools without triggering
1574 build errors in sieve.c.

1592PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1593
6a3bceb1
PH
1594PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1595 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1596 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1597 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1598 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1599 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1600 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1601 for iplsearch lookups.
1602
1603 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1604 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1605 previously such lookups could never work.
1606
1607 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1608 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1609 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

1614MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1615 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1616 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1617 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1618 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1619 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1624MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1625 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1626 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1627 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1628 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry

1812PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1813 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
1814 any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
1815 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1816 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1817 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1818 pipelining has not been advertised.

1833 no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
1834 was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has

1836 error. Exim's code has been fixed.

PH
1892 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1893 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1894 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1895 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1896 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1897 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1898 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1899 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1911 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1912
1913 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1914 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1915
1916 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1917 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1918 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1919
1920 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1921 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1922 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1923 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1924 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1956 processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
1957 triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
1958
1959TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
1960 in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
1961 hence the _LINUX specificness.

1963TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,
1964 there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any
1965 header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
1966 in the field name.

PH
1968PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1969 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1970 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1971 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1972 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1973 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1974 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1975 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1976 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1977 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1978 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2012PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
2013 hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
2014 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2015 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2016 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2017 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2018 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2019 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

14aa5a05 2021PH/12 Installed Andrey Panin's patch to add a dovecot authenticator. Various
7befa435 2022 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2023 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2024 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2025 function.
2026 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2027 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2028 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2029 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2030 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2031 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2032 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2033 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2034 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2039PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
2040 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2041 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2042 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2043 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2044 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2045 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2046 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2049 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2051
322050c2
PH
2052PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2053 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2054 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2055 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2056 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2057 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2058 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2059 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2060 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2061 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2062 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2063 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2064 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

PH
2066PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2067 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2068 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2069 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2070 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2071 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2072 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2074PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2075 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2076 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2077 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2078 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2079 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2080 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2081 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2082 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2083 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

602e59e5
PH
2085PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called
2086 with the "reply" argument non-NULL. The code, however (which originally
2087 came from elsewhere) had *some* tests for NULL when it wrote to *reply,
2088 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2089 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2091PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2092 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2093 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2094 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2095 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2096 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2097 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

PH
2099PH/21 On the advice of Timo Sirainen, added a check to the dovecot
2100 authenticator to fail if there's a tab character in the incoming data
2101 (there should never be unless someone is messing about, as it's supposed
2102 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2103 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2104 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2105 been verified.

2136
2137PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2138 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2139 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2140 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2141 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2142 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2143 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2144 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2145 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2146
2147 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2148 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2149 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2150 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2151 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2152 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2153 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2154 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2155 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2156
2157 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2158 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2159 hammering the server.

PH
2174PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
2175 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
2176 panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
2177 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
2178 fails.
2179
48c7f9e2
PH
2180PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2181 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2182 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2183 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
2184 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
2185 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2186 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2187 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2188 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2189 smtp transport.

2457PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".

2459 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2460 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2461 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2462 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2463 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2464 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2465 451 error is used.

2501PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2502 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2503 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2504 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2505 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2506 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2507 addresses as local.

2549 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
2550 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
2551 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that

2571 changes:
2572
2573 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2574 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2575 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
2576

2579 the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.

2584PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
2585 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2586 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2587 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2588 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2589 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2590 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2591 values from the SRV records were lost.

2593PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

PH
2601PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2602 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2603 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2604 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2605 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2606 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2607 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2608 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2609 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

2706PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put

2709 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2710 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2711 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2712 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2713 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2714 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

2726 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
2727 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
2728 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
2729 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
2730 the variable.

2750PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
2751 used in LMTP mode:
2752
2753 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2754 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2755 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2756 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2757
2758 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2759 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2760 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2761
2762PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2763 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2764 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2765 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
2766 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

2836PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2837 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2838 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2839 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2840 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2841 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2842 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2843 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2844 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2845 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2846 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2869
2870 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
2871 string.
2872
2873 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2874 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2875 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2876 silly things.
2877
2878 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
2879 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).

2902PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2903 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2904 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2905 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2906 identical. For example:
2907
2908 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2909
2910 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2911 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2912 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2938PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to

2940
2941 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
2942
2943 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
2944 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
2945 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
2946 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
2947 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
2948
2949 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
2950
2951 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
2952
2953 The auto-replied keyword:
2954
2955 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
2956 message by an automatic process,
2957

3003 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3004 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3005 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3006 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3007 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3008 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3009 the text comparison.

3188 From: header, and the sender address was obtained from -f or from an SMTP
3189 MAIL command, and the trusted user did not use -F to supply a sender
3190 name, $originator_name was incorrectly used when constructing a From:
3191 header. Furthermore, $originator_name was used for submission mode
3192 messages from external hosts without From: headers in a similar way,
3193 which is clearly wrong.

3306PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
3307 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
3308 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
3309 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
3310 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
3311 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.

3313PH/06 There is a timeout for writing blocks of data, set by, e.g. data_timeout
3314 in the smtp transport. When a block could not be written in a single
3315 write() function, the timeout was being re-applied to each part-write.
3316 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
3317 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
3318 doesn't have to be particularly precise.
