Exim 4.54

Been running it on all our servers for a few weeks now

/scripts/eximup will get you the latest.

 

I'd imagine that's the non-Maildir version? The latest Maildir version of Exim appears to be 4.52 unless I need to update the backend scripts or something.

Regards,

Martyn

 

exim (exim-4.52-15_cpanel_maildir)

on 10.8.1 C 3

So that's the latest apparently.

Cheers

Why do you need to be running Exim v4.54?

Code:

Exim version 4.53
-----------------

TK/01 Added the "success_on_redirect" address verification option. When an
      address generates new addresses during routing, Exim will abort
      verification with "success" when more than one address has been
      generated, but continue to verify a single new address. The latter
      does not happen when the new "success_on_redirect" option is set, like

      require verify = recipient/success_on_redirect/callout=10s

      In that case, verification will succeed when a router generates a new
      address.

PH/01 Support for SQLite database lookups has been added. This is another
      query-style lookup, but it is slightly different from the others because
      a file name is required in addition to the SQL query. This is because an
      SQLite database is a single file and there is no daemon as in other SQL
      databases. The interface to Exim requires the name of the file, as an
      absolute path, to be given at the start of the query. It is separated
      from the query by white space. This means that the path name cannot
      contain white space. Here is a lookup expansion example:

        ${lookup sqlite {/some/thing/sqlitedb \
          select name from aliases where id='ph10';}}

      In a list, the syntax is similar. For example:

        domainlist relay_domains = sqlite;/some/thing/sqlitedb \
           select * from relays where ip='$sender_host_address';

      The only character affected by the ${quote_sqlite: operator is a single
      quote, which it doubles.

      The SQLite library handles multiple simultaneous accesses to the database
      internally. Multiple readers are permitted, but only one process can
      update at once. Attempts to access the database while it is being updated
      are rejected after a timeout period, during which the SQLite library
      waits for the lock to be released. In Exim, the default timeout is set
      to 5 seconds, but it can be changed by means of the sqlite_lock_timeout
      option.

      Note that you must set LOOKUP_SQLITE=yes in Local/Makefile in order to
      obtain SQLite support, and you will also need to add -lsqlite3 to the
      EXTRALIBS setting. And of course, you have to install SQLite on your
      host first.

PH/02 The variable $message_id is now deprecated, to be replaced by
      $message_exim_id, which makes it clearer which ID is being referenced.

PH/03 The use of forbid_filter_existstest now also locks out the use of the
      ${stat: expansion item.

PH/04 The IGNOREQUOTA extension to the LMTP protocol is now available in both
      the lmtp transport and the smtp transport running in LMTP mode. In the
      lmtp transport there is a new Boolean option called ignore_quota, and in
      the smtp transport there is a new Boolean option called
      lmtp_ignore_quota. If either of these options is set TRUE, the string
      "IGNOREQUOTA" is added to RCPT commands when using the LMTP protocol,
      provided that the server has advertised support for IGNOREQUOTA in its
      response to the LHLO command.

PH/05 Previously, if "verify = helo" was set in an ACL, the condition was true
      only if the host matched helo_try_verify_hosts, which caused the
      verification to occur when the EHLO/HELO command was issued. The ACL just
      tested the remembered result. Now, if a previous verification attempt has
      not happened, "verify = helo" does it there and then.

PH/06 It is now possible to specify a port number along with a host name or
      IP address in the list of hosts defined in the manualroute or
      queryprogram routers, fallback_hosts, or the "hosts" option of the smtp
      transport. These all override any port specification on the transport.
      The relatively standard syntax of using a colon separator has been
      adopted, but there are some gotchas that need attention:

      * In all these lists of hosts, colon is the default separator, so either
        the colon that specifies a port must be doubled, or the separator must
        be changed. The following two examples have the same effect:

          fallback_hosts = host1.tld::1225 : host2.tld::1226
          fallback_hosts = <; host1.tld:1225 ; host2.tld:1226

      * When IPv6 addresses are involved, it gets worse, because they contain
        colons of their own. To make this case easier, it is permitted to
        enclose an IP address (either v4 or v6) in square brackets if a port
        number follows. Here's an example from a manualroute router:

           route_list = * "</ [10.1.1.1]:1225 / [::1]:1226"

      If the "/MX" feature is to be used as well as a port specifier, the port
      must come last. For example:

           route_list = *  dom1.tld/mx::1225

PH/07 $smtp_command_argument is now set for all SMTP commands, not just the
      non-message ones. This makes it possible to inspect the complete command
      for RCPT commands, for example. But see also PH/45 below.

PH/08 The ${eval expansion now supports % as a "remainder" operator.

PH/09 There is a new ACL condition "verify = not_blind". It checks that there
      are no blind (bcc) recipients in the message. Every envelope recipient
      must appear either in a To: header line or in a Cc: header line for this
      condition to be true. Local parts are checked case-sensitively; domains
      are checked case-insensitively. If Resent-To: or Resent-Cc: header lines
      exist, they are also checked. This condition can be used only in a DATA
      or non-SMTP ACL.

      There are, of course, many legitimate messages that make use of blind
      (bcc) recipients. This check should not be used on its own for blocking
      messages.

PH/10 There is a new ACL control called "suppress_local_fixups". This applies
      to locally submitted (non TCP/IP) messages, and is the complement of
      "control = submission". It disables the fixups that are normally applied
      to locally-submitted messages. Specifically:

      (a) Any Sender: header line is left alone (in this respect, it's a
          dynamic version of local_sender_retain).

      (b) No Message-ID:, From:, or Date: headers are added.

      (c) There is no check that From: corresponds to the actual sender.

      This feature may be useful when a remotely-originated message is
      accepted, passed to some scanning program, and then re-submitted for
      delivery. It means that all four possibilities can now be specified:

      (1) Locally submitted, fixups applies: the default.
      (2) Locally submitted, no fixups applied: use control =
          suppress_local_fixups.
      (3) Remotely submitted, no fixups applied: the default.
      (4) Remotely submitted, fixups applied: use control = submission.

PH/11 There is a new log selector, "unknown_in_list", which provokes a log
      entry when the result of a list match is failure because a DNS lookup
      failed.

PH/12 There is a new variable called $smtp_command which contains the full SMTP
      command (compare $smtp_command_argument - see PH/07 above). This makes it
      possible to distinguish between HELO and EHLO, and also between things
      like "MAIL FROM:<>" and "MAIL FROM: <>".

TF/01 There's a new script in util/ratelimit.pl which extracts sending
      rates from log files, to assist with choosing appropriate settings
      when deploying the ratelimit ACL condition.

PH/13 A new letter, "H", is available in retry parameter sets. It is similar
      to "G" (geometric increasing time intervals), except that the interval
      before the next retry is randomized. Each time, the previous interval is
      multiplied by the factor in order to get a maximum for the next interval.
      The mininum interval is the first argument of the parameter, and an
      actual interval is chosen randomly between them. Such a rule has been
      found to be helpful in cluster configurations when all the members of the
      cluster restart at once, and may synchronize their queue processing
      times.

PH/14 The options never_users, trusted_users, admin_groups, and trusted_groups
      are now expanded when the configuration file is read.

Code:

Exim version 4.54
-----------------

There was a problem with 4.52/TF/02 in that a "name=" option on control=
submission terminated at the next slash, thereby not allowing for slashes in
the name. This has been changed so that "name=" takes the rest of the string as
its data. It must therefore be the last option.
