Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.51
+-----------------
+
+TK/01 Added Yahoo DomainKeys support via libdomainkeys. See
+ doc/experimental-spec.txt for details. (http://domainkeys.sf.net)
+
+TK/02 Fix ACL "control" statment not being available in MIME ACL.
+
+TK/03 Fix ACL "regex" condition not being available in MIME ACL.
+
+PH/01 Installed a patch from the Sieve maintainer that allows -bf to be used
+ to test Sieve filters that use "vacation".
+
+PH/02 Installed a slightly modified version of Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos' patch
+ that changes the way the GnuTLS parameters are stored in the cache file.
+ The new format can be generated externally. For backward compatibility,
+ if the data in the cache doesn't make sense, Exim assumes it has read an
+ old-format file, and it generates new data and writes a new file. This
+ means that you can't go back to an older release without removing the
+ file.
+
+PH/03 A redirect router that has both "unseen" and "one_time" set does not
+ work if there are any delivery delays because "one_time" forces the
+ parent to be marked "delivered", so its unseen clone is never tried
+ again. For this reason, Exim now forbids the simultaneous setting of
+ these two options.
+
+PH/04 Change 4.11/85 fixed an obscure bug concerned with addresses that are
+ redirected to themselves ("homonym" addresses). Read the long ChangeLog
+ entry if you want to know the details. The fix, however, neglected to
+ consider the case when local delivery batching is involved. The test for
+ "previously delivered" was not happening when checking to see if an
+ address could be batched with a previous (undelivered) one; under
+ certain circumstances this could lead to multiple deliveries to the same
+ address. A one-line patch to add the appropriate test fixes the bug.
+
+PH/05 Renamed the macro SOCKLEN_T as EXIM_SOCKLEN_T because AIX uses SOCKLEN_T
+ in its include files, and this causes problems building Exim.
+
+PH/06 A number of "verify =" ACL conditions have no options (e.g. verify =
+ header_syntax) but Exim was just ignoring anything given after a slash.
+ In particular, this caused confusion with an attempt to use "verify =
+ reverse_host_lookup/defer_ok". An error is now given when options are
+ supplied for verify items that do not have them. (Maybe reverse_host_
+ lookup should have a defer_ok option, but that's a different point.)
+
+PH/07 Increase the size of the buffer for incoming SMTP commands from 512 (as
+ defined by RFC 821) to 2048, because there were problems with some AUTH
+ commands, and RFC 1869 says the size should be increased for extended
+ SMTP commands that take arguments.
+
+PH/08 Added ${dlfunc dynamically loaded function for expansion (code from Tony
+ Finch).
+
+PH/09 Previously, an attempt to use ${perl when it wasn't compiled gave an
+ "unknown" error; now it says that the functionality isn't in the binary.
+
+PH/10 Added a nasty fudge to try to recognize and flatten LDAP passwords in
+ an address' error message when a string expansion fails (syntax or
+ whatever). Otherwise not only does the password appear in the log, it may
+ also be put in a bounce message.
+
+PH/11 Installed exipick version 20050225.0 from John Jetmore.
+
+PH/12 If the last host in a fallback_hosts list was multihomed, only the first
+ of its addresses was ever tried. (Bugzilla bug #2.)
+
+
A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
----------------------------------------
78. Error message wording change in sieve.c.
+79. If smtp_accept_max_per_host was set, the number of connections could be
+ restricted to fewer than expected, because the daemon was trying to set up
+ a new connection before checking whether the processes handling previous
+ connections had finished. The check for completed processes is now done
+ earlier. On busy systems, this bug wouldn't be noticed because something
+ else would have woken the daemon, and it would have reaped the completed
+ process earlier.
+
+80. If a message was submitted locally by a user whose login name contained one
+ or more spaces (ugh!), the spool file that Exim wrote was not re-readable.
+ It caused a spool format error. I have fixed the spool reading code. A
+ related problem was that the "from" clause in the Received: line became
+ illegal because of the space(s). It is now covered by ${quote_local_part.
+
+81. Included the latest eximstats from Steve (adds average sizes to HTML Top
+ tables).
+
+82. Updated OS/Makefile-AIX as per message from Mike Meredith.
+
+83. Patch from Sieve maintainer to fix unterminated string problem in
+ "vacation" handling.
+
+84. Some minor changes to the Linux configuration files to help with other
+ OS variants using glibc.
+
+85. One more patch for Sieve to update vacation handling to latest spec.
+
