Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
@@ -367,6 +367,14 @@ Exim version 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.

See the note above about the 4.44 and 4.50 releases.
