Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
+Exim version 4.67
+-----------------
+
+MH/01 Fix for bug #448, segfault in Dovecot authenticator when interface_address
+ is unset (happens when testing with -bh and -oMi isn't used). Thanks to
+ Jan Srzednicki.
+
+PH/01 Added a new log selector smtp_no_mail, to log SMTP sessions that do not
+ issue a MAIL command.
+
+PH/02 In an ACL statement such as
+
+ deny dnslists = X!=127.0.0.2 : X=127.0.0.2
+
+ if a client was not listed at all, or was listed with a value other than
+ 127.0.0.2, in the X list, but was listed with 127.0.0.2 in the Y list,
+ the condition was not true (as it should be), so access was not denied.
+ The bug was that the ! inversion was incorrectly passed on to the second
+ item. This has been fixed.
+
+PH/03 Added additional dnslists conditions == and =& which are different from
+ = and & when the dns lookup returns more than one IP address.
+
+PH/04 Added gnutls_require_{kx,mac,protocols} to give more control over the
+ cipher suites used by GnuTLS. These options are ignored by OpenSSL.
+
+PH/05 After discussion on the list, added a compile time option ENABLE_DISABLE_
+ FSYNC, which compiles an option called disable_fsync that allows for
+ bypassing fsync(). The documentation is heavily laced with warnings.
+
+SC/01 Updated eximstats to collate all SpamAssassin rejects into one bucket.
+
+PH/06 Some tidies to the infrastructure of the Test Suite that is concerned
+ with the auxiliary C programs that it uses: (1) Arrange for BIND_8_COMPAT
+ to be defined when compiling on OSX (Darwin); (2) Tidies to the Makefile,
+ including adding "make clean"; (3) Added -fPIC when compiling the test
+ dynamically loaded module, to get rid of a warning.
+
+MH/02 Fix for bug #451, causing paniclog entries to be written if a bounce
+ message fails, move_frozen_messages = true and ignore_bounce_errors_after
+ = 0s. The bug is otherwise harmless.
+
+PH/07 There was a bug in the dovecot authenticator such that the value of
+ $auth1 could be overwritten, and so not correctly preserved, after a
+ successful authentication. This usually meant that the value preserved by
+ the server_setid option was incorrect.
+
+PH/08 Added $smtp_count_at_connection_start, deliberately with a long name.
+
+PH/09 Installed PCRE release 7.0.
+
+PH/10 The acl_not_smtp_start ACL was, contrary to the documentation, not being
+ run for batched SMTP input. It is now run at the start of every message
+ in the batch. While fixing this I discovered that the process information
+ (output by running exiwhat) was not always getting set for -bs and -bS
+ input. This is fixed, and it now also says "batched" for BSMTP.
+
+PH/11 Added control=no_pipelining.
+
+PH/12 Added $sending_ip_address and $sending_port (mostly Magnus Holmgren's
+ patch, slightly modified), and move the expansion of helo_data till after
+ the connection is made in the smtp transport (so it can use these
+ values).
+
+PH/13 Added ${rfc2047d: to decoded RFC 2047 strings.
+
+PH/14 Added log_selector = +pid.
+
+PH/15 Flush SMTP output before delaying, unless control=no_delay_flush is set.
+
+PH/16 Add ${if forany and ${if forall.
+
+PH/17 Added dsn_from option to vary the From: line in DSNs.
+
+PH/18 Flush SMTP output before performing a callout, unless control =
+ no_callout_flush is set.
+
+PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when address_retry_include_sender
+ was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete the retry
+ item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is now
+ fixed.
+
+PH/20 Added hosts_avoid_pipelining to the smtp transport.
+
+PH/21 Long custom messages for fakedefer and fakereject are now split up
+ into multiline reponses in the same way that messages for "deny" and
+ other ACL rejections are.
+
+PH/22 Applied Jori Hamalainen's speed-up changes and typo fixes to exigrep,
+ with slight modification.
+
+PH/23 Applied sieve patches from the maintainer "tracking the latest notify
+ draft, changing the syntax and factoring some duplicate code".
+
+PH/24 When the log selector "outgoing_port" was set, the port was shown as -1
+ for deliveries of the second and subsequent messages over the same SMTP
+ connection.
+
+PH/25 Applied Magnus Holmgren's patch for ${addresses, ${map, ${filter, and
+ ${reduce, with only minor "tidies".
+
+SC/02 Applied Daniel Tiefnig's patch to improve the '($parent) =' pattern match.
+
+PH/26 Added a "continue" ACL modifier that does nothing, for the benefit of its
+ expansion side effects.
+
+PH/27 When a message times out after an over-quota error from an Exim-imposed
+ quota, the bounce message says "mailbox is full". This message was not
+ being given when it was a system quota that was exceeded. It now should
+ be the same.
+
+MH/03 Made $recipients available in local_scan(). local_scan() already has
+ better access to the recipient list through recipients_list[], but
+ $recipients can be useful in postmaster-provided expansion strings.
+
+PH/28 The $smtp_command and $smtp_command_argument variables were not correct
+ in the case of a MAIL command with additional options following the
+ address, for example: MAIL FROM:<foo@bar> SIZE=1234. The option settings
+ were accidentally chopped off.
+
+PH/29 SMTP synchronization checks are implemented when a command is read -
+ there is a check that no more input is waiting when there shouldn't be
+ any. However, for some commands, a delay in an ACL can mean that it is
+ some time before the response is written. In this time, more input might
+ arrive, invalidly. So now there are extra checks after an ACL has run for
+ HELO/EHLO and after the predata ACL, and likewise for MAIL and RCPT when
+ pipelining has not been advertised.
+
+PH/30 MH's patch to allow iscntrl() characters to be list separators.
+
+PH/31 Unlike :fail:, a custom message specified with :defer: was not being
+ returned in the SMTP response when smtp_return_error_details was false.
+ This has been fixed.
+
+PH/32 Change the Dovecot authenticator to use read() and write() on the socket
+ instead of the C I/O that was originally supplied, because problems were
+ reported on Solaris.
+
+PH/33 Compile failed with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. This was due to a coding error in
+ Exim which did not show up earlier: it was assuming that a call to
+ SSL_CTX_set_info_callback() might give an error value. In fact, there is
+ no error. In previous releases of OpenSSL, SSL_CTX_set_info_callback()
+ was a macro that became an assignment, so it seemed to work. This has
+ changed to a proper function call with a void return, hence the compile
+ error. Exim's code has been fixed.
+
+PH/34 Change HDA_SIZE in oracle.c from 256 to 512. This is needed for 64-bit
+ cpus.
+
+PH/35 Applied a patch from the Sieve maintainer which fixes a bug in "notify".
+
+PH/36 Applied John Jetmore's patch to add -v functionality to exigrep.
+
+PH/37 If a message is not accepted after it has had an id assigned (e.g.
+ because it turns out to be too big or there is a timeout) there is no
+ "Completed" line in the log. When some messages of this type were
+ selected by exigrep, they were listed as "not completed". Others were
+ picked up by some special patterns. I have improved the selection
+ criteria to be more general.
+
+PH/38 The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router can now be set
+ to "ignore", to completely ignore a host whose IP address cannot be
+ found. If all hosts are ignored, the behaviour is controlled by the new
+ host_all_ignored option.
+
+PH/39 In a list of hosts for manualroute, if one item (either because of multi-
+ homing or because of multiple MX records with /mx) generated more than
+ one IP address, and the following item turned out to be the local host,
+ all the secondary addresses of the first item were incorrectly removed
+ from the list, along with the local host and any following hosts (which
+ is what is supposed to happen).
+
+PH/40 When Exim receives a message, it writes the login name, uid, and gid of
+ whoever called Exim into the -H file. In the case of the daemon it was
+ behaving confusingly. When first started, it used values for whoever
+ started the daemon, but after a SIGHUP it used the Exim user (because it
+ calls itself on a restart). I have changed the code so that it now always
+ uses the Exim user.
+
+PH/41 (Following a suggestion from Tony Finch) If all the RCPT commands in a
+ message are rejected with the same error (e.g. no authentication or bad
+ sender address), and a DATA command is nevertheless sent (as can happen
+ with PIPELINING or a stupid MUA), the error message that was given to the
+ RCPT commands is included in the rejection of the DATA command. This is
+ intended to be helpful for MUAs that show only the final error to their
+ users.
+
+PH/42 Another patch from the Sieve maintainer.
+
+
+Exim version 4.66
+-----------------
+
+PH/01 Two more bugs that were introduced by 4.64/PH/07, in addition to the one
+ fixed by 4.65/MH/01 (is this a record?) are fixed:
+
+ (i) An empty string was always treated as zero by the numeric comparison
+ operators. This behaviour has been restored.
+
+ (ii) It is documented that the numeric comparison operators always treat
+ their arguments as decimal numbers. This was broken in that numbers
+ starting with 0 were being interpreted as octal.
+
+ While fixing these problems I realized that there was another issue that
+ hadn't been noticed. Values of message_size_limit (both the global option
+ and the transport option) were treated as octal if they started with 0.
+ The documentation was vague. These values are now always treated as
+ decimal, and I will make that clear in the documentation.
+
+
+Exim version 4.65
+-----------------
+
+TK/01 Disable default definition of HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE. Clashes with
+ Linux large file support (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) on older glibc
+ versions. (#438)
+
+MH/01 Don't check that the operands of numeric comparison operators are
+ integers when their expansion is in "skipping" mode (fixes bug
+ introduced by 4.64-PH/07).
+
+PH/01 If a system filter or a router generates more than SHRT_MAX (32767)
+ child addresses, Exim now panics and dies. Previously, because the count
+ is held in a short int, deliveries were likely to be lost. As such a
+ large number of recipients for a single message is ridiculous
+ (performance will be very, very poor), I have chosen to impose a limit
+ rather than extend the field.
+
+
Exim version 4.64
-----------------
+TK/01 Bugzilla #401. Fix DK spooling code so that it can overwrite a
+ leftover -K file (the existence of which was triggered by #402).
+ While we were at it, introduced process PID as part of the -K
+ filename. This should rule out race conditions when creating
+ these files.
+
+TK/02 Bugzilla #402. Apply patch from Simon Arlott, speeding up DK signing
+ processing considerably. Previous code took too long for large mails,
+ triggering a timeout which in turn triggers #401.
+
+TK/03 Introduced HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE to os.h-Linux. Currently only used
+ in the DK code in transports.c. sendfile() is not really portable,
+ hence the _LINUX specificness.
+
TF/01 In the add_headers option to the mail command in an Exim filter,
there was a bug that Exim would claim a syntax error in any
header after the first one which had an odd number of characters
headers of the same name were present, leading whitespace was being
removed from all of them, but trailing whitespace was being removed only
from the last one. Now trailing whitespace is removed from each header
- before concatenation.
+ before concatenation. Completely empty headers in a concatenation (as
+ before) are ignored.
+
+PH/28 Fixed bug in backwards-compatibility feature of PH/09 (thanks to John
+ Jetmore). It would have mis-read ACL variables from pre-4.61 spool files.
+
+PH/29 [Removed. This was a change that I later backed out, and forgot to
+ correct the ChangeLog entry (that I had efficiently created) before
+ committing the later change.]
+
+PH/30 Exim was sometimes attempting to deliver messages that had suffered
+ address errors (4xx response to RCPT) over the same connection as other
+ messages routed to the same hosts. Such deliveries are always "forced",
+ so retry times are not inspected. This resulted in far too many retries
+ for the affected addresses. The effect occurred only when there were more
+ hosts than the hosts_max_try setting in the smtp transport when it had
+ the 4xx errors. Those hosts that it had tried were not added to the list
+ of hosts for which the message was waiting, so if all were tried, there
+ was no problem. Two fixes have been applied:
+
+ (i) If there are any address or message errors in an SMTP delivery, none
+ of the hosts (tried or untried) are now added to the list of hosts
+ for which the message is waiting, so the message should not be a
+ candidate for sending over the same connection that was used for a
+ successful delivery of some other message. This seems entirely
+ reasonable: after all the message is NOT "waiting for some host".
+ This is so "obvious" that I'm not sure why it wasn't done
+ previously. Hope I haven't missed anything, but it can't do any
+ harm, as the worst effect is to miss an optimization.
+
+ (ii) If, despite (i), such a delivery is accidentally attempted, the
+ routing retry time is respected, so at least it doesn't keep
+ hammering the server.
+
+PH/31 Installed Andrew Findlay's patch to close the writing end of the socket
+ in ${readsocket because some servers need this prod.
+
+PH/32 Added some extra debug output when updating a wait-xxx database.
+
+PH/33 The hint "could be header name not terminated by colon", which has been
+ given for certain expansion errors for a long time, was not being given
+ for the ${if def:h_colon_omitted{... case.
+
+PH/34 The spec says: "With one important exception, whenever a domain list is
+ being scanned, $domain contains the subject domain." There was at least
+ one case where this was not true.
+
+PH/35 The error "getsockname() failed: connection reset by peer" was being
+ written to the panic log as well as the main log, but it isn't really
+ panic-worthy as it just means the connection died rather early on. I have
+ removed the panic log writing for the ECONNRESET error when getsockname()
+ fails.
+
+PH/36 After a 4xx response to a RCPT error, that address was delayed (in queue
+ runs only) independently of the message's sender address. This meant
+ that, if the 4xx error was in fact related to the sender, a different
+ message to the same recipient with a different sender could confuse
+ things. In particualar, this can happen when sending to a greylisting
+ server, but other circumstances could also provoke similar problems.
+ I have changed the default so that the retry time for these errors is now
+ based a combination of the sender and recipient addresses. This change
+ can be overridden by setting address_retry_include_sender=false in the
+ smtp transport.
+
+PH/37 For LMTP over TCP/IP (the smtp transport), error responses from the
+ remote server are returned as part of bounce messages. This was not
+ happening for LMTP over a pipe (the lmtp transport), but now it is the
+ same for both kinds of LMTP.
+
+PH/38 Despite being documented as not happening, Exim was rewriting addresses
+ in header lines that were in fact CNAMEs. This is no longer the case.
+
+PH/39 If -R or -S was given with -q<time>, the effect of -R or -S was ignored,
+ and queue runs started by the daemon processed all messages. This has
+ been fixed so that -R and -S can now usefully be given with -q<time>.
+
+PH/40 Import PCRE release 6.7 (fixes some bugs).
+
+PH/41 Add bitwise logical operations to eval (courtesy Brad Jorsch).
+
+PH/42 Give an error if -q is specified more than once.
+
+PH/43 Renamed the variables $interface_address and $interface_port as
+ $received_ip_address and $received_port, to make it clear that these
+ values apply to message reception, and not to the outgoing interface when
+ a message is delivered. (The old names remain recognized, of course.)
+
+PH/44 There was no timeout on the connect() call when using a Unix domain
+ socket in the ${readsocket expansion. There now is.
+
+PH/45 Applied a modified version of Brad Jorsch's patch to allow "message" to
+ be meaningful with "accept".
+
+SC/01 Eximstats V1.43
+ Bug fix for V1.42 with -h0 specified. Spotted by Chris Lear.
+
+SC/02 Eximstats V1.44
+ Use a glob alias rather than an array ref in the generated
+ parser. This improves both readability and performance.
+
+SC/03 Eximstats V1.45 (Marco Gaiarin / Steve Campbell)
+ Collect SpamAssassin and rejection statistics.
+ Don't display local sender or destination tables unless
+ there is data to show.
+ Added average volumes into the top table text output.
+
+SC/04 Eximstats V1.46
+ Collect data on the number of addresses (recipients)
+ as well as the number of messages.
+
+SC/05 Eximstats V1.47
+ Added 'Message too big' to the list of mail rejection
+ reasons (thanks to Marco Gaiarin).
+
+SC/06 Eximstats V1.48
+ Mainlog lines which have GMT offsets and are too short to
+ have a flag are now skipped.
+
+SC/07 Eximstats V1.49 (Alain Williams)
+ Added the -emptyok flag.
+
+SC/08 Eximstats V1.50
+ Fixes for obtaining the IP address from reject messages.
+
+JJ/03 exipick.20061117.2, made header handling as similar to exim as possible
+ (added [br]h_ prefixes, implemented RFC2047 decoding. Fixed
+ whitesspace changes from 4.64-PH/27
+
+JJ/04 exipick.20061117.2, fixed format and added $message_headers_raw to
+ match 4.64-PH/13
+
+JJ/05 exipick.20061117.2, bug fixes (error out sooner when invalid criteria
+ are found, allow negative numbers in numeric criteria)
+
+JJ/06 exipick.20061117.2, added new $message_body_missing variable
+
+JJ/07 exipick.20061117.2, added $received_ip_address and $received_port
+ to match changes made in 4.64-PH/43
+
+PH/46 Applied Jori Hamalainen's patch to add features to exiqsumm.
+
+PH/47 Put in an explicit test for a DNS lookup of an address record where the
+ "domain" is actually an IP address, and force a failure. This locks out
+ those revolvers/nameservers that support "A-for-A" lookups, in
+ contravention of the specifications.
+
+PH/48 When a host name was looked up from an IP address, and the subsequent
+ forward lookup of the name timed out, the host name was left in
+ $sender_host_name, contrary to the specification.
+
+PH/49 Although default lookup types such as lsearch* or cdb*@ have always been
+ restricted to single-key lookups, Exim was not diagnosing an error if
+ * or *@ was used with a query-style lookup.
+
+PH/50 Increased the value of DH_BITS in tls-gnu.c from 768 to 1024.
+
+MH/01 local_scan ABI version incremented to 1.1. It should have been updated
+ long ago, but noone interested enough thought of it. Let's just say that
+ the "1.1" means that there are some new functions that weren't there at
+ some point in the past.
+
+PH/51 Error processing for expansion failure of helo_data from an smtp
+ transport during callout processing was broken.
+
+PH/52 Applied John Jetmore's patch to allow tls-on-connect and STARTTLS to be
+ tested/used via the -bh/-bhc/-bs options.
+
+PH/53 Added missing "#include <time.h>" to pcre/pcretest.c (this was a PCRE
+ bug, fixed in subsequent PCRE releases).
+
+PH/54 Applied Robert Bannocks' patch to avoid a problem with references that
+ arises when using the Solaris LDAP libraries (but not with OpenLDAP).
+
+PH/55 Check for a ridiculously long file name in exim_dbmbuild.
