257 * debian/tests/control: Add missing python test dependency, as

261 * 4.82 deprecated $tls_bits, $tls_certificate_verified, $tls_cipher,
262 $tls_peerdn, $tls_sni and introduced tls_in_*/tls_out_* variants of these
263 variables which describe the respective status of the current incoming or
264 outgoing TLS connection. The rationale for this is that a single exim
265 process can now use both an incoming (message reception) and outgoing
266 TLS connection (callout or cutthrough delivery) concurrently. With this
267 change the "old" variables were mapped to tls_in_*, i.e. they expand to
268 empty values on outgoing connections. (This is not yet documented.)
269 Outgoing tls-connections can therefore not be detected by nonempty
270 $tls_cipher anymore. exim4-config << 4.82 used this mechanism to prevent
271 sending of plaintext AUTH information on unencrypted connections. Force a
272 lockstep upgrade of exim4-config by bumping the version of exim4-base's
273 dependency on exim4-config to >= 4.82.

601 previous behavior made it too easy to create (remotely) vulnerable
602 configurations. A more detailed rationale and explanation can be found

2035 * Mention in the comments of the default RCPT ACL that verification
2036 is likely to have false negatives in smarthost/satellite setups. This

2864 * Now that 4.44 is released upload 4.43 to unstable. ;-) Merge experimental
2865 and unstable changelog.
2866 * More lintian overrides. ("X" in eximon4's description has to be capital,
2867 and we take care to only use settitle if it is available.
2868 * make nullmailer setup and the way we use mailname a lot more sensible,
2869 attacking #244095 and #280207:
2870 - mailname is not implicitely made a local domain, instead it is listed
2871 explicitly in dc_other_hostnames, where users can easily remove it
2872 from. (This is basically what postfix does, too.) When upgrading
2873 existing installations mailname is automatically added _once_ to
2874 dc_other_hostnames, on fresh installations mailname is the default
2875 value of dc_other_hostnames. We store the fact that we have added
2876 mailname to dc_other_hostnames in $dc_mailname_in_oh in
2877 update-exim4.conf.conf.
2878 - Make exim work correctly if dc_readhost ("visible, rewritten domain name
2879 for local users") ends up as part of local_domain, which happens if
2880 the same value is chosen for mailname and dc_readhost. This
2881 implemented by new router, hub_user_smarthost. Previously users were
2882 required to use something different (my.invalid.domain) for mailname.
2883 - Special thanks to Christian Perrier for taking care of the
2884 template translation updates.
2885 * We did not substitute the current value into the debconf templates with
2886 db_subst but showed the old ones from the previous debconf run.
2887 * /etc/exim4/email-addresses is ignored now, please use /etc/email-addresses!

3281 references to "satellite" which closes: #229902.)
3282 - Rewrite /this/ stuff at smtp transport time. /etc/email-addresses
3283 rewriting still uses normal rewriting because it always has and because
3284 it is easier to setup.
3285 - This still does not address one basic issue, the misuse of /etc/mailname

4378 Ship symlink /usr/lib/exim4/exim -> /usr/sbin/exim4 and set BIN_DIRECTORY
4379 to /usr/lib/exim4. This is a little bit ugly but the alterative would be to
