@@ -66,6 +66,15 @@ JH/15 Fix argument parsing for ${run } expansion. Previously, when an argument
included a close-brace character (eg. it itself used an expansion) an
error occurred.
+JH/16 Move running the smtp connect ACL to before, for TLS-on-connect ports,
+ starting TLS. Previously it was after, meaning that attackers on such
+ ports had to be screened using the host_reject_connection main config
+ option. The new sequence aligns better with the STARTTLS behaviour, and
+ permits defences against crypto-processing load attacks, even though it
+ is strictly an incompatible change.
+ Also, avoid sending any SMTP fail response for either the connect ACL
+ or host_reject_connection, for TLS-on-connect ports.
