8TF/01 Correctly close the server side of TLS when forking for delivery.
9
10 When a message was received over SMTP with TLS, Exim failed to clear up
11 the incoming connection properly after forking off the child process to
12 deliver the message. In some situations the subsequent outgoing
13 delivery connection happened to have the same fd number as the incoming
14 connection previously had. Exim would try to use TLS and fail, logging
15 a "Bad file descriptor" error.

157TF/01 Fix ultimate retry timeouts for intermittently deliverable recipients.
158
159 When a queue runner is handling a message, Exim first routes the
160 recipient addresses, during which it prunes them based on the retry
161 hints database. After that it attempts to deliver the message to
162 any remaining recipients. It then updates the hints database using
163 the retry rules.
164
165 So if a recipient address works intermittently, it can get repeatedly
166 deferred at routing time. The retry hints record remains fresh so the
167 address never reaches the final cutoff time.
168
169 This is a fairly common occurrence when a user is bumping up against
170 their storage quota. Exim had some logic in its local delivery code
171 to deal with this. However it did not apply to per-recipient defers
172 in remote deliveries, e.g. over LMTP to a separate IMAP message store.
173
1ddeb334
TF
174 This change adds a proper retry rule check during routing so that the
175 final cutoff time is checked against the message's age. We only do
176 this check if there is an address retry record and there is not a
177 domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle
178 the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use
179 this as an approximation for the destination being like a local
180 delivery, as in LMTP.
67bd1ab3
TF
181
182 I suspect this new check makes the old local delivery cutoff check
183 redundant, but I have not verified this so I left the code in place.
184

TF
185TF/02 Correct gecos expansion when From: is a prefix of the username.
186
187 Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header
188
189 Resent-From: f
190
191 When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded
192 the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added
193 a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the
194 username as equal to the username.
195
196 This change corrects that bug.

217JH/14 SMTP PRDR (http://www.eric-a-hall.com/specs/draft-hall-prdr-00.txt).
218 Server implementation by Todd Lyons, client by JH.
219 Only enabled when compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PRDR. A new
220 config variable "prdr_enable" controls whether the server
221 advertises the facility. If the client requests PRDR a new
222 acl_data_smtp_prdr ACL is called once for each recipient, after
223 the body content is received and before the acl_smtp_data ACL.
224 The client is controlled by bolth of: a hosts_try_prdr option
225 on the smtp transport, and the server advertisement.
226 Default client logging of deliveries and rejections involving
227 PRDR are flagged with the string "PRDR".

505TF/03 Make the exiwhat support code safe for signals. Previously Exim might
506 lock up or crash if it happened to be inside a call to libc when it
507 got a SIGUSR1 from exiwhat.
508
509 The SIGUSR1 handler appends the current process status to the process
510 log which is later printed by exiwhat. It used to use the general
511 purpose logging code to do this, but several functions it calls are
512 not safe for signals.
513
514 The new output code in the SIGUSR1 handler is specific to the process
515 log, and simple enough that it's easy to inspect for signal safety.
516 Removing some special cases also simplifies the general logging code.
517 Removing the spurious timestamps from the process log simplifies
518 exiwhat.

TF
520TF/04 Improved ratelimit ACL condition.
521
522 The /noupdate option has been deprecated in favour of /readonly which
523 has clearer semantics. The /leaky, /strict, and /readonly update modes
524 are mutually exclusive. The update mode is no longer included in the
525 database key; it just determines when the database is updated. (This
526 means that when you upgrde Exim will forget old rate measurements.)
527
528 Exim now checks that the per_* options are used with an update mode that
529 makes sense for the current ACL. For example, when Exim is processing a
530 message (e.g. acl_smtp_rcpt or acl_smtp_data, etc.) you can specify
531 per_mail/leaky or per_mail/strict; otherwise (e.g. in acl_smtp_helo) you
532 must specify per_mail/readonly. If you omit the update mode it defaults to
533 /leaky where that makes sense (as before) or /readonly where required.
534
535 The /noupdate option is now undocumented but still supported for
536 backwards compatibility. It is equivalent to /readonly except that in
537 ACLs where /readonly is required you may specify /leaky/noupdate or
538 /strict/noupdate which are treated the same as /readonly.
539
540 A useful new feature is the /count= option. This is a generalization
541 of the per_byte option, so that you can measure the throughput of other
542 aggregate values. For example, the per_byte option is now equivalent
543 to per_mail/count=${if >{0}{$message_size} {0} {$message_size} }.
544
545 The per_rcpt option has been generalized using the /count= mechanism
546 (though it's more complicated than the per_byte equivalence). When it is
547 used in acl_smtp_rcpt, the per_rcpt option adds recipients to the
548 measured rate one at a time; if it is used later (e.g. in acl_smtp_data)
549 or in a non-SMTP ACL it adds all the recipients in one go. (The latter
550 /count=$recipients_count behaviour used to work only in non-SMTP ACLs.)
551 Note that using per_rcpt with a non-readonly update mode in more than
552 one ACL will cause the recipients to be double-counted. (The per_mail
553 and per_byte options don't have this problem.)
554
555 The handling of very low rates has changed slightly. If the computed rate
556 is less than the event's count (usually one) then this event is the first
557 after a long gap. In this case the rate is set to the same as this event's
558 count, so that the first message of a spam run is counted properly.
559
560 The major new feature is a mechanism for counting the rate of unique
561 events. The new per_addr option counts the number of different
562 recipients that someone has sent messages to in the last time period. It
563 behaves like per_rcpt if all the recipient addresses are different, but
564 duplicate recipient addresses do not increase the measured rate. Like
565 the /count= option this is a general mechanism, so the per_addr option
566 is equivalent to per_rcpt/unique=$local_part@$domain. You can, for
567 example, measure the rate that a client uses different sender addresses
568 with the options per_mail/unique=$sender_address. There are further
569 details in the main documentation.

1120 were called 'true' and it seems that C99 defines that as a reserved

1141PH/01 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
1142
6a3bceb1
PH
1143PH/02 When an IPv6 address is converted to a string for single-key lookup
1144 in an address list (e.g. for an item such as "net24-dbm;/net/works"),
1145 dots are used instead of colons so that keys in lsearch files need not
1146 contain colons. This was done some time before quoting was made available
1147 in lsearch files. However, iplsearch files do require colons in IPv6 keys
1148 (notated using the quote facility) so as to distinguish them from IPv4
1149 keys. This meant that lookups for IP addresses in host lists did not work
1150 for iplsearch lookups.
1151
1152 This has been fixed by arranging for IPv6 addresses to be expressed with
1153 colons if the lookup type is iplsearch. This is not incompatible, because
1154 previously such lookups could never work.
1155
1156 The situation is now rather anomolous, since one *can* have colons in
1157 ordinary lsearch keys. However, making the change in all cases is
1158 incompatible and would probably break a number of configurations.

MH
1163MH/01 The "spam" ACL condition code contained a sscanf() call with a %s
1164 conversion specification without a maximum field width, thereby enabling
1165 a rogue spamd server to cause a buffer overflow. While nobody in their
1166 right mind would setup Exim to query an untrusted spamd server, an
1167 attacker that gains access to a server running spamd could potentially
1168 exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the Exim user.

MH
1173MH/02 The dsearch lookup now uses lstat(2) instead of stat(2) to look for
1174 a directory entry by the name of the lookup key. Previously, if a
1175 symlink pointed to a non-existing file or a file in a directory that
1176 Exim lacked permissions to read, a lookup for a key matching that
1177 symlink would fail. Now it is enough that a matching directory entry
1178 exists, symlink or not. (Bugzilla 503.)

1361PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
1362 there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be

1364 some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
1365 arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
1366 HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
1367 pipelining has not been advertised.

PH
1441 the response to the final '.' that terminates a message, but only in the
1442 case where the client has not sent further data following the '.'
1443 (unfortunately, this is allowed). However, in many cases there won't be
1444 any further data because there won't be any more messages to send. A call
1445 to select() can be used: if it shows that the input is "ready", there is
1446 either input waiting, or the socket has been closed. An attempt to read
1447 the next input character can distinguish the two cases. Previously, Exim
58eb016e 1448 would have sent an OK response which the client would never have see.

1459PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
1460 fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
1461
1462 (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
1463 operators. This behaviour has been restored.
1464
1465 (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
1466 their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
1467 starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
1468
1469 While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
1470 hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
1471 and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
1472 The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
1473 decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.

1490 large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous

2b1c6e3a
PH
1517PH/01 If a server that rejects MAIL FROM:<> was the target of a sender
1518 callout verification, Exim cached a "reject" for the entire domain. This
1519 is correct for most verifications, but it is not correct for a recipient
1520 verification with use_sender or use_postmaster set, because in that case
1521 the callout does not use MAIL FROM:<>. Exim now distinguishes the special
1522 case of MAIL FROM:<> rejection from other early rejections (e.g.
1523 rejection of HELO). When verifying a recipient using a non-null MAIL
1524 address, the cache is ignored if it shows MAIL FROM:<> rejection.
1525 Whatever the result of the callout, the value of the domain cache is
1526 left unchanged (for any other kind of callout, getting as far as trying
1527 RCPT means that the domain itself is ok).

1563 probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
1564 callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
1565 changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
1566 instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
1567 there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host

7befa435 1571 tweaks were necessary in order to get it to work (see also 21 below):
14aa5a05
PH
1572 (a) The code assumed that strncpy() returns a negative number on buffer
1573 overflow, which isn't the case. Replaced with Exim's string_format()
1574 function.
1575 (b) There were several signed/unsigned issues. I just did the minimum
1576 hacking in of casts. There is scope for a larger refactoring.
1577 (c) The code used strcasecmp() which is not a standard C function.
1578 Replaced with Exim's strcmpic() function.
1579 (d) The code set only $1; it now sets $auth1 as well.
1580 (e) A simple test gave the error "authentication client didn't specify
1581 service in request". It would seem that Dovecot has changed its
1582 interface. Fortunately there's a specification; I followed it and

1588PH/14 Corrected misleading output from -bv when -v was also used. Suppose the
1589 address A is aliased to B and C, where B exists and C does not. Without
1590 -v the output is "A verified" because verification stops after a
1591 successful redirection if more than one address is generated. However,
1592 with -v the child addresses are also verified. Exim was outputting "A
1593 failed to verify" and then showing the successful verification for C,
1594 with its parentage. It now outputs "B failed to verify", showing B's
1595 parentage before showing the successful verification of C.

PH
1601PH/16 It seems that the options setting for the resolver (RES_DEFNAMES and
1602 RES_DNSRCH) can affect the behaviour of gethostbyname() and friends when
1603 they consult the DNS. I had assumed they would set it the way they
1604 wanted; and indeed my experiments on Linux seem to show that in some
1605 cases they do (I could influence IPv6 lookups but not IPv4 lookups).
1606 To be on the safe side, however, I have now made the interface to
1607 host_find_byname() similar to host_find_bydns(), with an argument
1608 containing the DNS resolver options. The host_find_byname() function now
1609 sets these options at its start, just as host_find_bydns() does. The smtp
1610 transport options dns_qualify_single and dns_search_parents are passed to
1611 host_find_byname() when gethostbyname=TRUE in this transport. Other uses
1612 of host_find_byname() use the default settings of RES_DEFNAMES
1613 (qualify_single) but not RES_DNSRCH (search_parents).

1615PH/17 Applied (a modified version of) Nico Erfurth's patch to make
1616 spool_read_header() do less string testing, by means of a preliminary
1617 switch on the second character of optional "-foo" lines. (This is
1618 overdue, caused by the large number of possibilities that now exist.
1619 Originally there were few.) While I was there, I also converted the
1620 str(n)cmp tests so they don't re-test the leading "-" and the first
1621 character, in the hope this might squeeze out yet more improvement.

PH
1623PH/18 Two problems with "group" syntax in header lines when verifying: (1) The
1624 flag allowing group syntax was set by the header_syntax check but not
1625 turned off, possible causing trouble later; (2) The flag was not being
1626 set at all for the header_verify test, causing "group"-style headers to
1627 be rejected. I have now set it in this case, and also caused header_
1628 verify to ignore an empty address taken from a group. While doing this, I
1629 came across some other cases where the code for allowing group syntax
1630 while scanning a header line wasn't quite right (mostly, not resetting
1631 the flag correctly in the right place). These bugs could have caused
1632 trouble for malformed header lines. I hope it is now all correct.

1634PH/19 The functions {pwcheck,saslauthd}_verify_password() are always called

1637 but it didn't always do it. This confused somebody who was copying the
1638 code for some other use. I have removed all the tests.

PH
1640PH/20 It was discovered that the GnuTLS code had support for RSA_EXPORT, a
1641 feature that was used to support insecure browsers during the U.S. crypto
1642 embargo. It requires special client support, and Exim is probably the
1643 only MTA that supported it -- and would never use it because real RSA is
1644 always available. This code has been removed, because it had the bad
1645 effect of slowing Exim down by computing (never used) parameters for the
1646 RSA_EXPORT functionality.

1651 to be base64-encoded). Also added, on Timo's advice, the "secured" option
1652 if the connection is using TLS or if the remote IP is the same as the
1653 local IP, and the "valid-client-cert option" if a client certificate has
1654 been verified.

1685
1686PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
1687 address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
1688 messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
1689 so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
1690 for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
1691 hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
1692 the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
1693 of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
1694 was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
1695
1696 (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
1697 of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
1698 for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
1699 candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
1700 successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
1701 reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
1702 This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
1703 previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
1704 harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
1705
1706 (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
1707 routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
1708 hammering the server.

1723PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
1724 written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really

1726 removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
1727 fails.
1728
48c7f9e2
PH
1729PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
1730 runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
1731 that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
1732 message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
1733 things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
1734 server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
1735 I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
1736 based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
1737 can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
1738 smtp transport.

2006PH/02 When tcp-wrappers is called from Exim, it returns only "deny" or "allow".
2007 "Deny" causes Exim to reject the incoming connection with a 554 error.
2008 Unfortunately, if there is a major crisis, such as a disk failure,
2009 tcp-wrappers gives "deny", whereas what one would like would be some
2010 kind of temporary error. A kludge has been added to help with this.
2011 Before calling hosts_ctl(), errno is set zero. If the result is "deny", a
2012 554 error is used if errno is still zero or contains ENOENT (which occurs
2013 if either of the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files is missing). Otherwise, a
2014 451 error is used.

2039 used only to exclude .Trash (or whatever) when the size of the mailbox
2040 was calculated. There was no check that a delivery was happening into an

2050PH/01 The code for finding all the local interface addresses on a FreeBSD
2051 system running IPv6 was broken. This may well have applied to all BSD
2052 systems, as well as to others that have similar system calls. The broken
2053 code found IPv4 interfaces correctly, but gave incorrect values for the
2054 IPv6 interfaces. In particular, ::1 was not found. The effect in Exim was
2055 that it would not match correctly against @[] and not recognize the IPv6
2056 addresses as local.

2099 autoreply, Exim could try to deliver to a non-existent relative file

2122 (a) Failures to set uid/gid, the current directory, or a process leader
2123 in a subprocess such as that created by queryprogram now generate
2124 suitable debugging ouput when -d is set.

2134 additional section of a DNS packet that returns MX or SRV records.
2135 Instead, it always explicitly searches for A/AAAA records. This avoids
2136 major problems that occur when a DNS server includes only records of one
2137 type (A or AAAA) in an MX/SRV packet. A byproduct of this change has
2138 fixed another bug: if SRV records were looked up and the corresponding
2139 address records were *not* found in the additional section, the port
2140 values from the SRV records were lost.

2142PH/17 If a delivery to a pipe, file, or autoreply was deferred, Exim was not

PH
2150PH/19 When calculating a retry time, Exim used to measure the "time since
2151 failure" by looking at the "first failed" field in the retry record. Now
2152 it does not use this if it is later than than the arrival time of the
2153 message. Instead it uses the arrival time. This makes for better
2154 behaviour in cases where some deliveries succeed, thus re-setting the
2155 "first failed" field. An example is a quota failure for a huge message
2156 when small messages continue to be delivered. Without this change, the
2157 "time since failure" will always be short, possible causing more frequent
2158 delivery attempts for the huge message than are intended.

PH
2255PH/42 The content-scanning code uses fopen() to create files in which to put
2256 message data. Previously it was not paying any attention to the mode of
2257 the files. Exim runs with umask(0) because the rest of the code creates
2258 files with open(), and sets the required mode explicitly. Thus, these
2259 files were ending up world-writeable. This was not a big issue, because,
2260 being within the spool directory, they were not world-accessible. I have
2261 created a function called modefopen, which takes an additional mode
2262 argument. It sets umask(777), creates the file, chmods it to the required
2263 mode, then resets the umask. All the relevant calls to fopen() in the

2301
2302 (i) Exim was not creating retry information for temporary errors given

2304 was used in LMTP mode. This meant that they could be retried too
2305 frequently, and not timed out correctly.
2306
2307 (ii) Exim was setting the flag that allows error details to be returned
2308 for LMTP errors on RCPT commands, but not for LMTP errors for individual
2309 recipients that were returned after the DATA command.
2310
2311PH/53 This is related to PH/52, but is more general: for any failing address,
2312 when detailed error information was permitted to be returned to the

2371PH/68 The bounce_return_message and bounce_return_body options were not being

2373 In particular, this applied to messages rejected by the ACL. This bug has
2374 been fixed. However, if bounce_return_message is true and bounce_return_
2375 body is false, the headers that are returned for a non-SMTP message
2376 include only those that have been read before the error was detected.

2385PH/71 Fixed an obscure and subtle bug (thanks Alexander & Matthias). The
2386 function verify_get_ident() calls ip_connect() to connect a socket, but
2387 if the "connect()" function timed out, ip_connect() used to close the
2388 socket. However, verify_get_ident() also closes the socket later, and in
2389 between Exim writes to the log, which may get opened at this point. When
2390 the socket was closed in ip_connect(), the log could get the same file
2391 descriptor number as the socket. This naturally causes chaos. The fix is
2392 not to close the socket in ip_connect(); the socket should be closed by
2393 the function that creates it. There was only one place in the code where
2394 this was missing, in the iplookup router, which I don't think anybody now
2395 uses, but I've fixed it anyway.

2418
2419 (2) Treat a missing third argument of ${prvscheck as if it were an empty
2420 string.
2421
2422 (3) Reset the variables that are obtained from the first argument of
2423 ${prvscheck and used in the second argument before leaving the code,
2424 because their memory is reclaimed, so using them afterwards may do
2425 silly things.
2426
2427 (4) Tidy up the code for expanding the arguments of ${prvscheck one by
2428 one (it's much easier than Tom thought :-).
2429

2451PH/06 When a client host used a correct literal IP address in a HELO or EHLO
2452 command, (for example, EHLO [1.2.3.4]) and the client's IP address was
2453 not being looked up in the rDNS to get a host name, Exim was showing the
2454 IP address twice in Received: lines, even though the IP addresses were
2455 identical. For example:
2456
2457 Received: from [1.2.3.4] (helo=[1.2.3.4])
2458
2459 However, if the real host name was known, it was omitting the HELO data
2460 if it matched the actual IP address. This has been tidied up so that it
2461 doesn't show the same IP address twice.

2487PH/10 Exim was violating RFC 3834 ("Recommendations for Automatic Responses to

2489
2490 Auto-submitted: auto-generated
2491
2492 in the messages that it generates (bounce messages and others, such as
2493 warnings). In the case of bounce messages for non-SMTP mesages, there was
2494 also a typo: it was using "Auto_submitted" (underscore instead of
2495 hyphen). Since every message generated by Exim is necessarily in response
2496 to another message, thes have all been changed to:
2497
2498 Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
2499
2500 in accordance with these statements in the RFC:
2501
2502 The auto-replied keyword:
2503
2504 - SHOULD be used on messages sent in direct response to another
2505 message by an automatic process,
2506

2550PH/19 Exim expands the IPv6 address given to -bh to its full non-abbreviated

2552 the IP address, check_host() was doing a simple string comparison with
2553 addresses acquired from the DNS when checking that the found name did
2554 have the original IP as one of its addresses. Since any found IPv6
2555 addresses are likely to be in abbreviated form, the comparison could
2556 fail. Luckily, there already exists a function for doing the comparison
2557 by converting both addresses to binary, so now that is used instead of
2558 the text comparison.

2855PH/05 There's a shambles in IRIX6 - it defines EX_OK in unistd.h which conflicts
2856 with the definition in sysexits.h (which is #included earlier).
2857 Fortunately, Exim does not actually use EX_OK. The code used to try to
2858 preserve the sysexits.h value, by assumimg that macro definitions were
2859 scanned for macro replacements. I have been disabused of this notion,
2860 so now the code just undefines EX_OK before #including unistd.h.

2865 This seems wrong - if the receiver was accepting one byte at a time it
2866 would take for ever. The timeout is now adjusted when this happens. It
2867 doesn't have to be particularly precise.

2943 case the guess is not the same as the compiled default, so the script
2944 suddenly stopped working when I started to use syslog. The patch checks

3075
3076PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
3077 that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
3078 The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
3079 if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
3080 old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
3081 means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
3082 file.
3083
3084PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
3085 work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
3086 parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
3087 again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
3088 these two options.
3089
3090PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
3091 redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
3092 entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
3093 consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
3094 "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
3095 address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
3096 certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
c2c19e9d 3097 address.

PH
3098
3099PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T

3102PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
3103 header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
3104 In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
3105 reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
3106 supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
3107 lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
3108
3109PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as

3159PH/19 When an Exim process that is running as root has to create an Exim log
3160 file, it does so in a subprocess that runs as exim:exim so as to get the
3161 ownership right at creation (otherwise, other Exim processes might see
3162 the file with the wrong ownership). There was no test for failure of this
3163 fork() call, which would lead to the process getting stuck as it waited
3164 for a non-existent subprocess. Forks do occasionally fail when resources
3165 run out. I reviewed all the other calls to fork(); they all seem to check
3166 for failure.

3168PH/20 When checking for unexpected SMTP input at connect time (before writing
3169 the banner), Exim was not dealing correctly with a non-positive return
3170 from the read() function. If the client had disconnected by this time,
3171 the result was a log entry for a synchronization error with an empty
3172 string after "input=" when read() returned zero. If read() returned -1
3173 (an event I could not check), uninitialized data bytes were printed.
3174 There were reports of junk text (parts of files, etc) appearing after
3175 "input=".

3185PH/24 The cyrus_sasl authenticator was advertising mechanisms for which it
3186 hadn't been configured. The fix is from Juergen Kreileder, who
3187 understands it better than I do:
3188
3189 "Here's what I see happening with three configured cyrus_sasl
3190 authenticators configured (plain, login, cram-md5):
3191
3192 On startup auth_cyrus_sasl_init() gets called for each of these.
3193 This means three calls to sasl_listmech() without a specified mech_list.
3194 => SASL tests which mechs of all available mechs actually work
3195 => three warnings about OTP not working
3196 => the returned list contains: plain, login, cram-md5, digest-md5, ...
3197
3198 With the patch, sasl_listmech() also gets called three times. But now
3199 SASL's mech_list option is set to the server_mech specified in the the
3200 authenticator. Or in other words, the answer from sasl_listmech()
3201 gets limited to just the mech you're testing for (which is different
3202 for each call.)
3203 => the return list contains just 'plain' or 'login', 'cram-md5' or
3204 nothing depending on the value of ob->server_mech.
3205
3206 I've just tested the patch: Authentication still works fine,
3207 unavailable mechs specified in the exim configuration are still
3208 caught, and the auth.log warnings about OTP are gone."

3244 . Second host offers TLS and a TLS session is established;

PH
3272PH/37 Exim used to check for duplicate addresses in the middle of routing, on
3273 the grounds that routing the same address twice would always produce the
3274 same answer. This might have been true once, but it is certainly no
3275 longer true now. Routing a child address may depend on the previous
3276 routing that produced that child. Some complicated redirection strategies
3277 went wrong when messages had multiple recipients, and made Exim's
3278 behaviour dependent on the order in which the addresses were given.
3279
3280 I have moved the duplicate checking until after the routing is complete.
3281 Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local and remote
3282 transports, and removes any duplicates. This means that more work will be
3283 done, as duplicates will always all be routed, but duplicates are
3284 presumably rare, so I don't expect this is of any significance.
3285
3286 For deliveries to pipes, files, and autoreplies, the duplicate checking
3287 still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
3288 routed further.

3292 background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
3293 connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
3294 spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
3295 blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."

3317 (e) A message specified by the cannot_route_message router option.
3318
3319 In these cases only, Exim does include the error details in bounce and
3320 warning messages. There are also a few cases where bland messages such
3321 as "unrouteable address" or "local delivery error" are given.

3329PH/45 In a pipe transport, although a timeout while waiting for the pipe
3330 process to complete was treated as a delivery failure, a timeout while
3331 writing the message to the pipe was logged, but erroneously treated as a
3332 successful delivery. Such timeouts include transport filter timeouts. For
3333 consistency with the overall process timeout, these timeouts are now
3334 treated as errors, giving rise to delivery failures by default. However,
3335 there is now a new Boolean option for the pipe transport called
3336 timeout_defer, which, if set TRUE, converts the failures into defers for
3337 both kinds of timeout. A transport filter timeout is now identified in
3338 the log output.

3347A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
3348----------------------------------------
3349
3350Exim 4.50 was meant to be the next release after 4.43. It contains a lot of
3351changes of various kinds. As a consequence, a big documentation update was
3352needed. This delayed the release for rather longer than seemed good, especially
3353in the light of a couple of (minor) security issues. Therefore, the changes
3354that fixed bugs were backported into 4.43, to create a 4.44 maintenance
3355release. So 4.44 and 4.50 are in effect two different branches that both start
3356from 4.43.
3357
3358I have left the 4.50 change log unchanged; it contains all the changes since
33594.43. The change log for 4.44 is below; many of its items are identical to
3360those for 4.50. This seems to be the most sensible way to preserve the
3361historical information.
