2012-12-11Document scripts/lookups-Makefile for new lookups.Phil Pennock
Missing step for adding a new lookup noticed by Paul Gamble.
2012-12-09OCSP/SNI: set correct callback.Phil Pennock
Caught by Jeremy; was wrong in (my) original commit, the dual-TLS work had just renamed the variables and theoretically made it more visible. I still missed it. The server_sni context initialisation was setting the OCSP status callback context parameter back on the original server_ctx instead of the new server_sni context. I guess OCSP and SNI aren't being used together in Exim much yet.

2012-12-06Fix my earlier "fix" for intermittently deliverable recipients.Tony Finch
Only do the ultimate address timeout check if there is an address retry record and there is not a domain retry record; this implies that previous attempts to handle the address had the retry_use_local_parts option turned on. We use this as an approximation for the destination being like a local delivery, as in LMTP.
2012-12-06Correct gecos expansion when From: is a prefix of the username.Tony Finch
Test 0254 submits a message to Exim with the header Resent-From: f When I ran the test suite under the user fanf2, Exim expanded the header to contain my full name, whereas it should have added a Resent-Sender: header. It erroneously treats any prefix of the username as equal to the username. This change corrects that bug.

2012-11-25Revert copyright years to manual-update. Bug 1318.Jeremy Harris
2012-11-24Insert version number and date into documentation at build time. Bug 1318.Jeremy Harris
Write a temp file with macro definitions from the makefile, and include it from the doc sources. Pass the version to make from the perl script. It is still needed to manually update the previous-version number and changebar indicators (.new/.wen) manually.
2012-11-19Dovecot: robustness; better msg on missing mech.Phil Pennock
If the dovecot protocol response doesn't include the MECH message for the SMTP AUTH protocol the client has requested, that's not a protocol failure, don't log it as such. Instead, explicitly log that it didn't advertise the mechanism we're looking for. This lets administrators fix either their Exim or their Dovecot configurations. Also: make the Dovecot handling more resistant to bad data from the auth server; handle too many fields with debug-log message to explain what's going on, permit lines of 8192 length per spec and detect if the line is too long, so that we can fail auth instead of becoming unsynchronised. Stop using the CUID from the server as the AUTH id counter. They're different, by my reading of the spec. TESTED: works against Dovecot 2.1.10. Thanks to Brady Catherman for reporting the problem with diagnosis.

2012-10-264.81 to 4.82Phil Pennock
Avoiding confusion of 4.80.1 vs 4.81, we went with skipping to 4.82 instead.

2012-10-24SECURITY: DKIM DNS buffer overflow protectionPhil Pennock
CVE-2012-5671 malloc/heap overflow, with a 60kB window of overwrite. Requires DNS under control of person sending email, leaves plenty of evidence, but is very likely exploitable on OSes that have not been well hardened.
2012-10-17Example tune for clarity (reverse_ip)Phil Pennock
Use a last octet which will highlight the hex nature in the example. > ${reverse_ip:2001:0db8:c42:9:1:abcd:192.0.2.127} f.7.2.0.0.0.0.c.d.c.b.a.1.0.0.0.9.0.0.0.2.4.c.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2

2012-10-04Strip leading/trailing newlines on list of headers for addition; bug 884.Jeremy Harris
NB: this means a bare "X-ACL-Warn:" header is harder to add.
2012-10-03Releases signed by Phil's key, not Nigel's.Phil Pennock
State a more general policy of PGP signing, mention trust paths, cite the main public keyserver pool, provide a link to a trustpath display between Nigel's key and Phil's. Provide Phil's current PGP keyid (noting will change in 2013). Bounce via a redirector, on Phil's security site, because: (1) xfpt barfs on &url(..) where the URL contains an ampersand (2) No ampersands means less debugging across various platforms (3) The redirector is https: with a public cert, where www.exim.org does not have a cert (with that name, at this time). All keys cited in 0xLong form (16 hex characters). Nits: (1) URL is given with https:// on one line, the rest on the next (2) using alt text does not give the URL in the .txt format, despite the docs, because we build .txt from w3m -dump, so the HTML form is used. (3) Ideally, we'll get around to having https://www.exim.org/ exist and be usable for this redirect. Side-effects: (1) My name is in The Spec for the first time. :)

2012-09-11Minor doc nits re bug 1262.Phil Pennock

2012-07-12Doc note re 9999 days & 32bit time (SSL certs)Phil Pennock
Thanks to Jay Rouman for highlighting that there can be rollover. I have chosen *not* to reduce the duration, but to leave it and instead provoke thought on the part of those deploying systems, if this bites them.

2012-06-25Let Linux makefile inherit CFLAGS/CFLAGS_DYNAMIC.Phil Pennock
Pulled from Debian 30_dontoverridecflags.dpatch by Andreas Metzler. We just add CFLAGS_DYNAMIC too and some comments. Non-POSIX syntax, but fairly portable; GNU make gained it in 1998, we believe even very old systems should handle it fine.
2012-06-24Add gnutls_enable_pkcs11 option.Phil Pennock
GnuTLS 2.12.0 adds PKCS11 support using p11-kit and by default will autoload modules, which interoperates badly with GNOME keyring integration, configured via paths in environment variables, and Exim invoked by the user (eg, mailq) will then try to load the modules, fail and spew warnings from the module for a library loaded by a library. http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/gnutls.html#Smart-cards-and-HSMs documents that to prevent this, explicitly init PKCS11 before calling gnutls_global_init(). So we do so, unless the admin sets the new option. Reported by Andreas Metzler, who confirmed that the added calls fixed the problem for him.
