2011-02-13Move lookup extern decls to file scope.Phil Pennock
Should permit building on old gcc which dislikes extern inside function scope. Patch from Oliver Fleischmann, who encountered this with gcc 2.95.2.

2011-02-06Fix exiqgrep issue where malformed lines not parsedNigel Metheringham
Fixes bug 943 Lightly tested, but not with report error condition, would like reporter to check this fix on their system.
2011-02-05Strip \x{c2} from .txt files and audit.Phil Pennock
Am unable to keep the build process from inserting spurious \x{c2} characters into the created .txt files. Strip the characters in Tidytxt. Add SanityTestText to do a final audit for non-ASCII characters in the .txt files. Dependency: pcregrep if available, else uses Perl.
2011-02-05LDAP TLS negotiation support.Phil Pennock
closes bug 230 Applies patches provided by Adam Ciarcinski of NetBSD in bug 230. Adds documentation. Tested the negotiation and server verification, not tested the client certificate presentation but looks sane.

2011-01-27Use LC_ALL=C for building lookups/Makefile.Phil Pennock
2011-01-27Pulled spamd_address-expanded caching fix.Phil Pennock
Author: Wolfgang Breyha Bugzilla: 935 Attachment: 378 (looks like it could do with a strcmp check at the end before the extra string_copy, but that's a nicety and the author has presumably been running with this).
2011-01-27Permit make values to be indented or in env.Phil Pennock
It appears some make(1)s are not complaining about variables defined with leading whitespace on the line. Permit that where we can, for the lookups, but it's not tenable for CFLAGS_DYNAMIC. Some people are specifying knobs on the make command-line, so we get them via the environment. Tested: indented LOOKUP_CDB and commented out LOOKUP_DNSDB, supplying it via { make LOOKUP_DNSDB=yes }. { exim -d --version } shows both are built-in, no results from { fgrep DNSDB build-*/Makefile }.
2011-01-27Fix portability of Makefiles to HP-UX and other non-extended makes.Tony Finch
2011-01-26Fix portability bugs in valgrind support.Tony Finch
Update valgrind.h and memcheck.h to copies from valgrind-3.6.0. This fixes portability to compilers other than gcc, notably Solaris CC and HP-UX CC. Fixes: bug #1050.
2011-01-26Workround compile error with old PCRE versionsNigel Metheringham
Fixes bug #1073
2011-01-23Bug 1071: fix delivery logging with untrusted macros.Phil Pennock
If dropping privileges for untrusted macros, we disabled normal logging on the basis that it would fail; for the Exim run-time user, this is not the case, and it resulted in successful deliveries going unlogged. Fixed. Reported by Andreas Metzler.

2011-01-21Reworked changebars (still relative to 4.72) in doc sourceNigel Metheringham
2011-01-21Update dates.exim-4_74_RC1Phil Pennock
Spec: both doc date and release date (plus copyright year). Filter: only release date (doc not changed, so neither is copyright year)
2011-01-21Bump version to 4.74.Phil Pennock
Docs deliberately keep changebars since v4.72 as 4.73 has not been out for long. OptionLists updates for dynamic modules and for the security changes from 4.73.
2011-01-21IncompatibleChanges out, README.UPDATING updated.Phil Pennock
I forgot about README.UPDATING and introduced a new txt file with the 4.73 release, noting incompatible changes. Because these weren't documented in the normal place, some people missed them. Mea culpa. Integrated the notes from IncompatibleChanges into README.UPDATING. Added a note on the ABI of the dynlookups.
2011-01-21Check return values of setgid/setuid.Phil Pennock
CVE-2011-0017 One assertion of the unimportance of checking the return value was wrong, in the event of a compromised exim run-time user.
2011-01-21Version reporting & module ABI change.Phil Pennock
Debug version display reports library info. Bumps lookup API magic constant, adds new field to module API. When invoking { exim -d -bV } we can display more version information. Show versions for many external libraries, including both compile-time and run-time information if we can. Optional for modules, may be NULL. Implemented for MySQL, SQLite & Whoson lookups. For all lookups, if dynamically loaded, report the Exim version number from the build. (Packagers will bundle stuff, but dynamic modules are no longer just available for packagers, so we need to deal with less managed environments and people forgetting to install new modules). Suggest in EDITME that users of modules not using package management consider embedding a version number in the path to the modules. Should consider removing the TLS (OpenSSL/GnuTLS) reporting from the default -bV display and moving it into the debug display. Not done. Created version.h, now support a version extension string for distributors who patch heavily. Henceforth release engineer should change the version in version.h not version.c.

2011-01-16Clarify: tls_verify_certificates is for CA certs.Phil Pennock
It can be used for individual user certs but is really intended for CAs. Note this, and explain that if the tls_verify_certificates value is a file, then the certs within are sent from the server to clients, thus is public data.
2011-01-16Let /dev/null have normal permissions.Phil Pennock
The 4.73 fixes were a little too stringent and complained about the permissions on /dev/null. Exempt it from some checks. Reported by Andreas M. Kirchwitz
2011-01-16Bug 139: portability fixes and documentation.Phil Pennock
Document the dynamic lookup module capability in spec.xfpt. Include a ChangeLog item. Avoid the GNU-specific "export" make(1) directive. Build the lookups Makefile using the existing framework. Build with BSD Make once more. The src/lookups/Makefile that is used at build time now has the dynamic content come from scripts/lookups-Makefile. Add CFLAGS_DYNAMIC support, which can be set in Local/Makefile. Provide defaults for Linux & FreeBSD. Ensure that build fails early if a dynamic module is requested but CFLAGS_DYNAMIC is not defined.
