6JH/01 Use SIZE on MAIL FROM in a cutthrough connection, if the destination
7 supports it and a size is available (ie. the sending peer gave us one).

03d5892b
JH
9JH/02 The obsolete acl condition "demime" is removed (finally, after ten
10 years of being deprecated). The replacements are the ACLs
11 acl_smtp_mime and acl_not_smtp_mime.
12
4b0fe319
JH
13JH/03 Upgrade security requirements imposed for hosts_try_dane: previously
14 a downgraded non-dane trust-anchor for the TLS connection (CA-style)
15 or even an in-clear connection were permitted. Now, if the host lookup
16 was dnssec and dane was requested then the host is only used if the
17 TLSA lookup succeeds and is dnssec. Further hosts (eg. lower priority
18 MXs) will be tried (for hosts_try_dane though not for hosts_require_dane)
19 if one fails this test.
20 This means that a poorly-configured remote DNS will make it incommunicado;
21 but it protects against a DNS-interception attack on it.

23JH/04 Bug 1810: make continued-use of an open smtp transport connection
24 non-noisy when a race steals the message being considered.

26JH/05 If main configuration option tls_certificate is unset, generate a
27 selfsigned certificate for inbound TLS connections.

0bd1b1ed 29JH/06 Bug 165: hide more cases of password exposure - this time in expansions
f42deca9 30 in rewrites and routers.

20b9a2dc
JH
32JH/07 Retire gnutls_require_mac et.al. These were nonfunctional since 4.80
33 and logged a warning sing 4.83; now they are a configuration file error.
34

JH
35JH/08 Bug 1836: Fix crash in VRFY handling when handed an unqualified name
36 (lacking @domain). Apply the same qualification processing as RCPT.
37

JH
38JH/09 Bug 1804: Avoid writing msglog files when in -bh or -bhc mode.
39
cfab9d68
JH
40JH/10 Support ${sha256:} applied to a string (as well as the previous
41 certificate).
42
98c82a3d
JH
43JH/11 Cutthrough: avoid using the callout hints db on a verify callout when
44 a cutthrough deliver is pending, as we always want to make a connection.
45 This also avoids re-routing the message when later placing the cutthrough
46 connection after a verify cache hit.
47 Do not update it with the verify result either.
48
49JH/12 Cutthrough: disable when verify option success_on_redirect is used, and
50 when routing results in more than one destination address.
51
ae8386f0
JH
52JH/13 Cutthrough: expand transport dkim_domain option when testing for dkim
53 signing (which inhibits the cutthrough capability). Previously only
54 the presence of an option was tested; now an expansion evaluating as
55 empty is permissible (obviously it should depend only on data available
56 when the cutthrough connection is made).
57
0d9fa8c0
JH
58JH/14 Fix logging of errors under PIPELINING. Previously the log line giving
59 the relevant preceding SMTP command did not note the pipelining mode.
60

JH
61JH/15 Fix counting of empty lines in $body_linecount and $message_linecount.
62 Previously they were not counted.
63

JH
64JH/16 DANE: treat a TLSA lookup response having all non-TLSA RRs, the same
65 as one having no matching records. Previously we deferred the message
66 that needed the lookup.
67

71JH/18 Bug 1867: make the fail_defer_domains option on a dnslookup router work
72 for missing MX records. Previously it only worked for missing A records.

74JH/19 Bug 1850: support Radius libraries that return REJECT_RC.
75
76JH/20 Bug 1872: Ensure that acl_smtp_notquit is run when the connection drops
77 after the data-go-ahead and data-ack. Patch from Jason Betts.

79JH/21 Bug 1846: Send DMARC forensic reports for reject and quaratine results,
80 even for a "none" policy. Patch from Tony Meyer.
81
1c788856
JH
82JH/22 Fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries. If a port was
83 specified by a router, it must also match for the delivery to be
84 compatible.
85
e3b1f624
JH
86JH/23 Bug 1874: fix continued use of a connection for further deliveries.
87 When one of the recipients of a message was unsuitable for the connection
88 (has no matching addresses), we lost track of needing to mark it
89 deferred. As a result mail would be lost.

94 takes up less space and should be simpler to maintain.

JH
99JH/01 Bug 1664: Disable OCSP for GnuTLS library versions at/before 3.3.16
100 and 3.4.4 - once the server is enabled to respond to an OCSP request
101 it does even when not requested, resulting in a stapling non-aware
102 client dropping the TLS connection.

104TF/01 Code cleanup: Overhaul the debug_selector and log_selector machinery to
105 support variable-length bit vectors. No functional change.
106
ac881e27
TF
107TF/02 Improve the consistency of logging incoming and outgoing interfaces.
108 The I= interface field on outgoing lines is now after the H= remote
109 host field, same as incoming lines. There is a separate
110 outgoing_interface log selector which allows you to disable the
111 outgoing I= field.
112
c8899c20
JH
113JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
114 If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
115 open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
116 deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
117 leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
118 check on the next write.

120HS/01 Bug 1671: Fix post transport crash.
121 Processing the wait-<transport> messages could crash the delivery
122 process if the message IDs didn't exist for some reason. When
123 using 'split_spool_directory=yes' the construction of the spool
124 file name failed already, exposing the same netto behaviour.

130 to DSN fail messages (bounces): remote IP, remote greeting, remote response
131 to HELO, local diagnostic string.
132
805bb5c3
JH
133JH/05 Downgrade message for a TLS-certificate-based authentication fail from
134 log line to debug. Even when configured with a tls authenticator many
135 client connections are expected to not authenticate in this way, so
136 an authenticate fail is not an error.

138HS/02 Add the Exim version string to the process info. This way exiwhat
139 gives some more detail about the running daemon.

141JH/06 Bug 1395: time-limit cacheing of DNS lookups, to the TTL value. This may
142 matter for fast-change records such as DNSBLs.
143
6f6dedcc
JH
144JH/07 Bug 1678: Always record an interface option value, if set, as part of a
145 retry record, even if constant. There may be multiple transports with
146 different interface settings and the retry behaviour needs to be kept
147 distinct.

172
23f3dc67
JH
173JH/18 Bug 1709: When built with TLS support, the tls_advertise_hosts option now
174 defaults to "*" (all hosts). The variable is now available when not built
175 with TLS, default unset, mainly to enable keeping the testuite sane.
176 If a server certificate is not supplied (via tls_certificate) an error is
177 logged, and clients will find TLS connections fail on startup. Presumably
178 they will retry in-clear.
179 Packagers of Exim are strongly encouraged to create a server certificate
180 at installation time.
181
240c288f
JH
182HS/03 Add -bP config_file as a synonym for -bP configure_file, for consistency
183 with the $config_file variable.
184
5ef5dd52
JB
185JH/19 Two additional event types: msg:rcpt:defer and msg:rcpt:host:defer. Both
186 in transport context, after the attempt, and per-recipient. The latter type
187 is per host attempted. The event data is the error message, and the errno
188 information encodes the lookup type (A vs. MX) used for the (first) host,
189 and the trailing two digits of the smtp 4xx reponse.
190

GF
191GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
192 to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
193 creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
194 installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
195 result is that the running daemon panics and dies.

JH
199JH/21 Bug 1720: Add support for priority groups and weighted-random proxy
200 selection for the EXPERIMENTAL_SOCKS feature, via new per-proxy options
201 "pri" and "weight". Note that the previous implicit priority given by the
202 list order is no longer honoured.

210JH/26 Move PROXY support from Experimental to mainline, enabled for a build
211 by defining SUPPORT_PROXY. Note that the proxy_required_hosts option
e6d2a989

212 is renamed to hosts_proxy, and the proxy_{host,target}_{address,port}.
213 variables are renamed to proxy_{local,external}_{address,port}.

233 keys are given for lookup.

f444c2c7
JH
235JH/34 Bug 1192: replace the embedded copy of PolarSSL RSA routines in the DKIM
236 support, by using OpenSSL or GnuTLS library ones. This means DKIM is
07c73177
JH
237 only supported when built with TLS support. The PolarSSL SHA routines
238 are still used when the TLS library is too old for convenient support.
f444c2c7 239
a57b6200
JH
240JH/35 Require SINGLE_DH_USE by default in OpenSSL (main config option
241 openssl_options), for security. OpenSSL forces this from version 1.1.0
242 server-side so match that on older versions.
243
07c73177 244JH/36 Bug 1778: longstanding bug in memory use by the ${run } expansion: A fresh
fa01e4f8 245 allocation for $value could be released as the expansion processing
07c73177 246 concluded, but leaving the global pointer active for it.
fa01e4f8 247

248JH/37 Bug 1769: Permit a VRFY ACL to override the default 252 response,
249 and to use the domains and local_parts ACL conditions.
250
1bc460a6
JH
251JH/38 Fix cutthrough bug with body lines having a single dot. The dot was
252 incorrectly not doubled on cutthrough transmission, hence seen as a
253 body-termination at the receiving system - resulting in truncated mails.
62ac2eb7 254 Commonly the sender saw a TCP-level error, and retransmitted the message
1bc460a6
JH
255 via the normal store-and-forward channel. This could result in duplicates
256 received - but deduplicating mailstores were liable to retain only the
257 initial truncated version.

270JH/43 Tidy coding issues detected by gcc --fsanitize=undefined. Some remain;
271 either intentional arithmetic overflow during PRNG, or testing config-

279 rejects a recipient: pass the reject to the originator.
280
dc8091e7
JH
281JH/46 Multiple issues raised by Coverity. Some were obvious or plausible bugs.
282 Many were false-positives and ignorable, but it's worth fixing the
283 former class.
284
dfe7d917
JH
285JH/47 Fix build on HP-UX and older Solaris, which need (un)setenv now also
286 for the new environment-manipulation done at startup. Move the routines
287 from being local to tls.c to being global via the os.c file.

JH
289JH/48 Bug 1807: Fix ${extract } for the numeric/3-string case. While preparsing
290 an extract embedded as result-arg for a map, the first arg for extract
291 is unavailable so we cannot tell if this is a numbered or keyed
292 extraction. Accept either.

420TL/01 When running the test suite, the README says that variables such as

422 test's script, however it was observed that placement needed to be near
423 the beginning for it to behave that way. Changed the runtest perl
424 script to read through the entire script once to detect and set these
425 variables, reset to the beginning of the script, and then run through
426 the script parsing/test process like normal.

786 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
787 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
788 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
789 the retry rules.
790
791 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
792 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
793 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
794
795 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
796 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
797 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
798 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
799

TF
800 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
801 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
802 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
803 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
804 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
805 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
806 delivery, as in LMTP.

TF
807
808 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
809 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.

813 Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header

816
817 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
818 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
819 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
820 username as equal to the username.

844 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
845 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
846 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
847 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
848 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
849 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
850 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
851 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
852 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
853 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

1131TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
1132 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
1133 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
1134
1135 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
1136 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
1137 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
1138 not safe for signals.
1139
1140 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
1141 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
1142 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
1143 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
1144 exiwhat.

TF
1146TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
1147
1148 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
1149 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
1150 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
1151 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
1152 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
1153
1154 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
1155 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
1156 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
1157 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
1158 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
1159 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
1160
1161 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
1162 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
1163 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
1164 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
1165
1166 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
1167 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
1168 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
1169 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
1170
1171 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
1172 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
1173 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
1174 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
1175 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
1176 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
1177 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
1178 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
1179 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
1180
1181 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
1182 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
1183 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
1184 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
1185
1186 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
1187 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
1188 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
1189 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
1190 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
1191 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
1192 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
1193 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
1194 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
1195 details in the main documentation.

1746 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1768
6a3bceb1
PH
1769PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1770 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1771 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1772 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1773 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1774 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1775 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1776 for iplsearch lookups.
1777
1778 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1779 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1780 previously such lookups could never work.
1781
1782 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1783 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1784 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

1789MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1790 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1791 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1792 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1793 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1794 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1799MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1800 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1801 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1802 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1803 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1804 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1987PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1988 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

1990 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1991 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1992 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1993 pipelining has not been advertised.

2067 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
2068 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
2069 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
2070 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
2071 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
2072 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
2073 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 2074 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

2085PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
2086 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
2087
2088 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
2089 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
2090
2091 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
2092 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
2093 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
2094
2095 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
2096 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
2097 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
2098 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
2099 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

2116 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

PH
2143PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
2144 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
2145 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
2146 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
2147 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
2148 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
2149 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
2150 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
2151 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
2152 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
2153 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

2187PH/11 Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_

2189 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
2190 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
2191 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
2192 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
2193 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
2194 addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used.

7befa435 2197 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
2198 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
2199 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
2200 function.
2201 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
2202 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
2203 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
2204 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
2205 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
2206 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
2207 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
2208 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and
2209 changed what the client sends and it appears to be working now.

2215 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
2216 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
2217 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
2218 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
2219 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
2220 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
2221 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

2224 look up a TXT record in a specific list after matching in a combined

2226
322050c2
PH
2227PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
2228 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
2229 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
2230 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
2231 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
2232 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
2233 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
2234 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
2235 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
2236 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
2237 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
2238 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
2239 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

2241PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
2242 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
2243 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
2244 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
2245 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
2246 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
2247 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
2249PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
2250 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
2251 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
2252 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
2253 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
2254 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
2255 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
2256 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
2257 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
2258 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

PH
2260PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

2263 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
2264 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
2266PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
2267 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
2268 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
2269 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
2270 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
2271 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
2272 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

2277 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
2278 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
2279 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
2280 been verified.

PH
2311
2312PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
2313 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
2314 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
2315 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
2316 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
2317 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
2318 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
2319 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
2320 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
2321
2322 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
2323 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
2324 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
2325 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
2326 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
2327 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
2328 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
2329 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
2330 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
2331
2332 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
2333 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
2334 hammering the server.

2350 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

PH
2355PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
2356 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
2357 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
2358 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
2359 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
2360 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
2361 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
2362 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
2363 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
2364 smtp transport.

2636 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2637 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2638 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs

2720 in 4.61-PH/06
2721
424a1c63
PH
2722PH/10 Fixed another bug related to PH/04 above: if an incoming message had a
2723 syntactically invalid From: or Reply-to: line, and a filter used this to
2724 generate an autoreply, and therefore failed to obtain an address for the
2725 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file
2726 name, causing unrelated and misleading errors. What now happens is that
2727 it logs this as a hard delivery error, but does not attempt to create a
2728 bounce message.

PH
2730PH/11 The exinext utility has a -C option for testing purposes, but although
2731 the given file was scanned by exinext itself; it wasn't being passed on

PH
2737PH/13 Domain literals for IPv6 were not recognized unless IPv6 support was
2738 compiled. In many other places in Exim, IPv6 addresses are always
2739 recognized, so I have changed this. It also means that IPv4 domain
2740 literals of the form [IPV4:n.n.n.n] are now always recognized.

PH
2742PH/14 When a uid/gid is specified for the queryprogram router, it cannot be
2743 used if the router is not running as root, for example, when verifying at
2744 ACL time, or when using -bh. The debugging output from this situation was
2745 non-existent - all you got was a failure to exec. I have made two
2746 changes:
2747
2748 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2749 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2750 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.
2751
2752 (b) The queryprogram router detects when it is not running as root,
2753 outputs suitable debugging information if -d is set, and then runs
2754 the subprocess without attempting to change uid/gid.

2756PH/15 Minor change to Makefile for building test_host (undocumented testing
2757 feature).
2758
1349e1e5
PH
2759PH/16 As discussed on the list in Nov/Dec: Exim no longer looks at the
2760 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2761 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2762 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2763 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2764 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2765 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2766 values from the SRV records were lost.
2767
ea49d0e1
PH
2768PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not
2769 using the correct key (the original address) when searching the retry
2770 rules in order to find which one to use for generating the retry hint.
2771
064a94c9
PH
2772PH/18 If quota_warn_message contains a From: header, Exim now refrains from
2773 adding the default one. Similarly, if it contains a Reply-To: header, the
2774 errors_reply_to option, if set, is not used.
2775
727071f8
PH
2776PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2777 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2778 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2779 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2780 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2781 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2782 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2783 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2784 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2787PH/20 Added $auth1, $auth2, $auth3 to contain authentication data (as well as
2788 $1, $2, $3) because the numerical variables can be reset during some
2789 expansion items (e.g. "match"), thereby losing the authentication data.

2793
2794PH/22 Test the values given for quota, quota_filecount, quota_warn_threshold,
2795 mailbox_size, and mailbox_filecount in the appendfile transport. If a
2796 filecount value is greater than 2G or if a quota value is greater than 2G
2797 on a system where the size of off_t is not greater than 4, a panic error
2798 is given.

PH
2800PH/23 When a malformed item such as 1.2.3/24 appears in a host list, it can
2801 never match. The debug and -bh output now contains an explicit error
2802 message indicating a malformed IPv4 address or mask.
2803
2804PH/24 An host item such as 1.2.3.4/abc was being treated as the IP address
2805 1.2.3.4 without a mask. Now it is not recognized as an IP address, and
2806 PH/23 above applies.

PH
2808PH/25 Do not write to syslog when running in the test harness. The only

PH
2814PH/27 If a host name lookup failed very early in a connection, for example, if
2815 the IP address matched host_lookup and the reverse lookup yielded a name
2816 that did not have a forward lookup, an error message of the form "no IP
2817 address found for host xxx.xxx.xxx (during SMTP connection from NULL)"
2818 could be logged. Now it outputs the IP address instead of "NULL".

PH
2820PH/28 An enabling patch from MH: add new function child_open_exim2() which
2821 allows the sender and the authenticated sender to be set when
2822 submitting a message from within Exim. Since child_open_exim() is
2823 documented for local_scan(), the new function should be too.

2833PH/32 In November 2003, the code in Exim that added an empty Bcc: header when
2834 needed by RFC 822 but not by RFC 2822 was commented out. I have now
2835 tidied the source and removed it altogether.

PH
2837PH/33 When a queue run was abandoned because the load average was too high, a
2838 log line was always written; now it is written only if the queue_run log
2839 selector is set. In addition, the log line for abandonment now contains
2840 information about the queue run such as the pid. This is always present
2841 in "start" and "stop" lines but was omitted from the "abandon" line.

230205fc
PH
2847PH/35 Change the default for dns_check_names_pattern to allow slashes within
2848 names, as there are now some PTR records that contain slashes. This check
2849 is only to protect against broken name servers that fall over on strange
2850 characters, so the fact that it applies to all lookups doesn't matter.
2851
75e0e026
PH
2852PH/36 Now that the new test suite is complete, we can remove some of the
2853 special code in Exim that was needed for the old test suite. For example,
2854 sorting DNS records because real resolvers return them in an arbitrary
2855 order. The new test suite's fake resolver always returns records in the
2856 same order.
2857
2858PH/37 When running in the test harness, use -odi for submitted messages (e.g.
2859 bounces) except when queue_only is set, to avoid logging races between

2880
2632889e
PH
2881PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2882 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2883 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2884 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2885 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2886 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2887 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2888 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2889 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the
2890 content scanning code have been changed to use this function.
2891
944a9c55
PH
2892PH/43 If retry_interval_max is set greater than 24 hours, it is quietly reset

4730f942
PH
2898PH/45 When the plaintext authenticator is running as a client, the server's
2899 challenges are checked to ensure they are valid base64 strings. By
2900 default, the authentication attempt is cancelled if an invalid string is
2901 received. Setting client_ignore_invalid_base64 true ignores these errors.
2902 The decoded challenge strings are now placed in $auth1, $auth2, etc. as
2903 they are received. Thus, the responses can be made to depend on the
2904 challenges. If an invalid string is ignored, an empty string is placed in
2905 the variable.

PH
2916PH/50 When an Exim quota was set without a file count quota, and mailbox_size
2917 was also set, the appendfile transport was unnecessarily scanning a
2918 directory of message files (e.g. for maildir delivery) to find the count
2919 of files (along with the size), even though it did not need this
2920 information. It now does the scan only if it needs to find either the
2921 size of the count of files.

PH
2925PH/52 Two bugs concerned with error handling when the smtp transport is
2926 used in LMTP mode:
2927
2928 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given
2929 for individual recipients after the DATA command when the smtp transport
2930 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2931 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2932
2933 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2934 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2935 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2936
2937PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2938 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the
2939 sender, but the error was temporary, then after the final timeout, only
2940 "retry timeout exceeded" was returned. Now it returns the full error as
2941 well as "retry timeout exceeded".

2997PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being
2998 honoured for bounces generated during the reception of non-SMTP messages.
2999 In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
3000 been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
3001 body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
3002 include only those that have been read before the error was detected.

PH
3005PH/69 The HTML version of the specification is now built in a directory called

d515a917
PH
3011PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
3012 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
3013 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
3014 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
3015 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
3016 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
3017 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
3018 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
3019 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
3020 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
3021 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

3040PH/02 Several tidies to the handling of ${prvs and ${prvscheck:
3041
3042 (1) Generate an error if the third argument for the ${prvs expansion is
3043 not a single digit.
3044
3045 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
3046 string.
3047
3048 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
3049 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
3050 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
3051 silly things.
3052
3053 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
3054 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
3055
3056 (5) Because of (4), we can now allow for the use of $prvscheck_result
3057 inside the third argument.

3072 may be more than one such address. If so, they are comma-separated, like

PH
3077PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
3078 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
3079 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
3080 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
3081 identical. For example:
3082
3083 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
3084
3085 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
3086 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
3087 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

3116 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
3117
3118 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
3119 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
3120 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
3121 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
3122 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
3123
3124 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
3125
3126 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
3127
3128 The auto-replied keyword:
3129
3130 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
3131 message by an automatic process,
3132
3133 - MUST NOT be used on manually-generated messages,
3134
3135 - MAY be used on Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) and Message
3136 Disposition Notifications (MDNs),
3137
3138 - MUST NOT be used on messages generated by automatic or periodic
3139 processes, except for messages which are automatic responses to
3140 other messages.

3161PH/17 A further patch from the Sieve maintainer: "Introduce the new Sieve
3162 extension "envelope-auth". The code is finished and in agreement with
3163 other implementations, but there is no documentation so far and in fact,
3164 nobody wrote the draft yet. This extension is currently #undef'ed, thus
3165 not changing the active code.
3166
3167 Print executed "if" and "elsif" statements when debugging is used. This
3168 helps a great deal to understand what a filter does.

3171 sorted out, when out of a sudden new issues came to my mind. Oops."

PH
3176PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated
3177 canonical form (as documented). However, after a host name lookup from
3178 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
3179 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
3180 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
3181 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
3182 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
3183 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
3184 the text comparison.
3185
96776534
PH
3186PH/20 There was another similar case to PH/19, when a complete host name was
3187 given in a host list; looking up its IP address could give an abbreviated
3188 form, whereas the current host's name might or might not be abbreviated.
3189 The same fix has been applied.

3207 non-personal, in accordance with RFC 3834. (Previously it treated

3268PH/13 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true
3269 only if the host matched helo_try_verify_hosts, which caused the

3271 tested the remembered result. Now, if a previous verification attempt has
3272 not happened, "verify = helo" does it there and then.

3301PH/23 Applied a patch to fix problems with exim-4.52 while doing radius

3303
3304 - Error returned from rc_read_config was caught wrongly
3305 - Username/password not passed on to radius server due to wrong length.

3307 The presumption is that some radiusclient API changes for 4.51/PH/17
3308 were not taken care of correctly. The code is still untested by me (my
3309 Linux distribution still has 0.3.2 of radiusclient), but it was
