New Features in Exim
--------------------
test from the snapshots or the CVS before the documentation is updated. Once
the documentation is updated, this file is reduced to a short list.
+Version 4.67
+------------
+
+ 1. There is a new log selector called smtp_no_mail, which is not included in
+ the default setting. When it is set, a line is written to the main log
+ whenever an accepted SMTP connection terminates without having issued a
+ MAIL command. This includes both the case when the connection is dropped,
+ and the case when QUIT is used. Note that it does not include cases where
+ the connection is rejected right at the start (by an ACL, or because there
+ are too many connections, or whatever). These cases already have their own
+ log lines.
+
+ The log line that is written contains the identity of the client in the
+ usual way, followed by D= and a time, which records the duration of the
+ connection. If the connection was authenticated, this fact is logged
+ exactly as it is for an incoming message, with an A= item. If the
+ connection was encrypted, CV=, DN=, and X= items may appear as they do for
+ an incoming message, controlled by the same logging options.
+
+ Finally, if any SMTP commands were issued during the connection, a C= item
+ is added to the line, listing the commands that were used. For example,
+
+ C=EHLO,QUIT
+
+ shows that the client issued QUIT straight after EHLO. If there were fewer
+ than 20 commands, they are all listed. If there were more than 20 commands,
+ the last 20 are listed, preceded by "...". However, with the default
+ setting of 10 for smtp_accep_max_nonmail, the connection will in any case
+ be aborted before 20 non-mail commands are processed.
+
+ 2. When an item in a dnslists list is followed by = and & and a list of IP
+ addresses, in order to restrict the match to specific results from the DNS
+ lookup, the behaviour was not clear when the lookup returned more than one
+ IP address. For example, consider the condition
+
+ dnslists = a.b.c=127.0.0.1
+
+ What happens if the DNS lookup for the incoming IP address yields both
+ 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2 by means of two separate DNS records? Is the
+ condition true because at least one given value was found, or is it false
+ because at least one of the found values was not listed? And how does this
+ affect negated conditions?
+
+ The behaviour of = and & has not been changed; however, the text below
+ documents it more clearly. In addition, two new additional conditions (==
+ and =&) have been added, to permit the "other" behaviour to be configured.
+
+ A DNS lookup may yield more than one record. Thus, the result of the lookup
+ for a dnslists check may yield more than one IP address. The question then
+ arises as to whether all the looked up addresses must be listed, or whether
+ just one is good enough. Both possibilities are provided for:
+
+ . If = or & is used, the condition is true if any one of the looked up
+ IP addresses matches one of the listed addresses. Consider:
+
+ dnslists = a.b.c=127.0.0.1
+
+ If the DNS lookup yields both 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2, the condition is
+ true because 127.0.0.1 matches.
+
+ . If == or =& is used, the condition is true only if every one of the
+ looked up IP addresses matches one of the listed addresses. Consider:
+
+ dnslists = a.b.c==127.0.0.1
+
+ If the DNS lookup yields both 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2, the condition is
+ false because 127.0.0.2 is not listed. You would need to have
+
+ dnslists = a.b.c==127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2
+
+ for the condition to be true.
+
+ When ! is used to negate IP address matching, it inverts the result, giving
+ the precise opposite of the behaviour above. Thus:
+
+ . If != or !& is used, the condition is true if none of the looked up IP
+ addresses matches one of the listed addresses. Consider:
+
+ dnslists = a.b.c!&0.0.0.1
+
+ If the DNS lookup yields both 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2, the condition is
+ false because 127.0.0.1 matches.
+
+ . If !== or !=& is used, the condition is true there is at least one looked
+ up IP address that does not match. Consider:
+
+ dnslists = a.b.c!=&0.0.0.1
+
+ If the DNS lookup yields both 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2, the condition is
+ true, because 127.0.0.2 does not match. You would need to have
+
+ dnslists = a.b.c!=&0.0.0.1,0.0.0.2
+
+ for the condition to be false.
+
+ When the DNS lookup yields only a single IP address, there is no difference
+ between = and == and between & and =&.
