ACL variables can now be given arbitrary names, as long as they start with + "acl_c" or "acl_m" (for connection variables and message variables) and are + at least 6 characters long. However, only alphanumeric characters and + underscores are allowed. This is a compatible change because the old set of + variables such as acl_m12 are a subset of the allowed names. There may now + be any number of ACL variables. For example: + + set acl_c_foo = something + set acl_ccc = thingsome + set acl_m13 = value for original ACL variable + set acl_m13b = whatever + + What happens if an undefined ACL variable is referenced depends on the + setting of the strict_acl_vars option. If it is false (the default), an + empty string is substituted; if it is true, an error is generated. This + affects all ACL variables, including the "old" ones such as acl_c4. + (Previously there wasn't the concept of an undefined ACL variable.) + + The implementation has been done in such a way that spool files containing + ACL variable settings written by previous releases of Exim are compatible + and can be read by the new release. If only the original numeric names are + used, spool files written by the new release can be read by earlier + releases. + Version 4.63 ------------ 1. There is a new Boolean option called filter_prepend_home for the redirect - router. It defaults true, for backward compatibility. If a "save" command in - an Exim filter has a relative path for its argument, and $home is defined, - it is automatically prepended to the relative path. This action can now be - prevented by setting filter_prepend_home false. + router. 2. There is a new acl, set by acl_not_smtp_start, which is run right at the start of receiving a non-SMTP message, before any of the message has been - read. (This is the analogue of the acl_smtp_predata ACL for SMTP input.) The - result of this ACL is ignored; it cannot be used to reject a message. If - you really need to, you could set a value in an ACL variable here and reject - based on that in the acl_not_smtp ACL. However, this ACL can be used to set - controls, and in particular, it can be used to set control=suppress_local_ - fixups, which cannot be used in the acl_not_smtp ACL because by the time - that ACL is run, it is too late. When the acl_not_smtp_start ACL is run, the - sender and recipients are known, so the "senders" and "sender_domains" - conditions and $sender_address and $recipients variables can be used. - Variables such as $authenticated_ sender are also available. It is possible - to specify added header lines in this ACL. + read. 3. When an SMTP error message is specified in a "message" modifier in an ACL, or in a :fail: or :defer: message in a redirect router, Exim now checks the - start of the message for an SMTP error code. This consists of three digits - followed by a space, optionally followed by an extended code of the form - n.n.n, also followed by a space. If this is the case and the very first - digit is the same as the default error code, the code from the message is - used instead. If the very first digit is incorrect, a panic error is logged, - and the default code is used. This is an incompatible change, but it is not - expected to affect many (if any) configurations. It is possible to suppress - the use of the supplied code in a redirect router by setting the - forbid_smtp_code option true. In this case, any SMTP code is quietly - ignored. + start of the message for an SMTP error code. 4. There is a new parameter for LDAP lookups called "referrals", which takes - one of the settings "follow" (the default) or "nofollow". The latter stops - the LDAP library from trying to follow referrals issued by the LDAP server. + one of the settings "follow" (the default) or "nofollow". 5.
