| 3 | In order to fix #420217, the handling of incoming messages to |
| 4 | system accounts has been changed once again. To allow system |
| 5 | account mail addresses to be redirected via traditional |
| 6 | /etc/aliases, system accounts are now processed later in the |
| 7 | router chain. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | This has made it necessary to change the default behavior of the |
| 10 | real- prefix. real-foo is now only accessible for locally |
| 11 | generated messages, such as the error message generated by the |
| 12 | userforward router. If you need the old behavior back, set the |
| 13 | macro COND_LOCAL_SUBMITTER=true. As a side-effect, you can |
| 14 | entirely switch off the real- processing by setting |
| 15 | COND_LOCAL_SUBMITTER=false. |

| 21 | acl_whitelist_local_deny was renamed to acl_local_deny_exceptions |
| 22 | to avoid confusion. This means changes to ACLs, file names in |
| 23 | /etc/exim4/conf.d/acl and the exception list file names themselves. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | CONFDIR/local_host_whitelist and CONFDIR/local_sender_whitelist |
| 26 | have been renamed to CONFDIR/host_local_deny_exceptions and |
| 27 | CONFDIR/sender_local_deny_exceptions. The old files will continue |
| 28 | to be honored for a transition period. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | The old file conf.d/acl/20_exim4-config_whitelist_local_deny will |
| 31 | get a .dpkg-bak suffix if it had local changes, and it will be |
| 32 | removed if there were no local changes. In the case of local changes, |
| 33 | you'll need to repeat these changes in the new file |
| 34 | conf.d/acl/20_exim4-config_local_deny_exceptions. |

| 40 | The macro generation in update-exim4.conf has been changed once |
| 41 | more. update-exim4.conf now looks for the (non-commented!) |
| 42 | definition of the exim configuration macro UPEX4CmacrosUPEX4C to |
| 43 | an arbitrary, non-empty value, and inserts the generated macro |
| 44 | definitions right after this line, without changing it. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | update-exim4.conf looks for commented UPEX4CmacrosUPEX4C (which |
| 47 | used to be the place marker in earlier 4.67-x versions) and barfs |
| 48 | if it finds them anywhere in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template or |
| 49 | recursively /etc/exim4/conf.d. This check - as a feature - also |
| 50 | includes files that would normally be excluded by |
| 51 | update-exim4.conf, such as .dpkg-old and .dpkg-dist files. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | If you insist on having a commented UPEX4CmacrosUPEX4C in your |
| 54 | exim configuration and don't want update-exim4.conf to barf, set |
| 55 | the exim macro UPEX4CmacrosOK_config_adapted to a non-empty value. |

| 61 | Since a lot of users did not read the docs while upgrading and |
| 62 | filed bug reports about exim4-config failing to install due to a |
| 63 | "malformed macro definition", update-exim4.conf.conf now checks |
| 64 | for DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF strings anywhere in |
| 65 | /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template or recursively /etc/exim4/conf.d |
| 66 | and barfs if such strings are found. This check - as a feature - also |
| 67 | includes files that would normally be excluded by |
| 68 | update-exim4.conf. |
| 69 | |
| 70 | It _is_ necessary to either accept the offered configuration file |
| 71 | change _or_ to manually check a manually changed exim config. Exim |
| 72 | will _NOT_ run if a configuration file of an older version is |
| 73 | being used with a more recent exim4-config. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | If you insist on having DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF strings in your |
| 76 | exim configuration and don't want update-exim4.conf to barf, set |
| 77 | the exim macro DEBCONFstringOK_config_adapted to a non-empty |

| 83 | |
| 84 | The symlink /etc/exim4/email-addresses caused data loss for people |
| 85 | who had a local file named /etc/exim4/email-addresses. The Debian |
| 86 | tools do not handle symlinks in /etc which are contained in |
| 87 | packages very well, so we decided to simply remove it. Please |
| 88 | submit a tested patch if you think that it would be a more elegant |
| 89 | way to handle the transition from /etc/exim4/email-addresses to |
| 90 | /etc/email-addresses. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | There is now a possibility to modify handling of incoming messages |
| 93 | to system accounts, identified by their UID (see |
| 94 | conf.d/router/250_exim4-config_lowuid). If you want this, set the |
| 95 | macro FIRST_USER_ACCOUNT_UID (which defaults to 0) to the UID of |
| 96 | your first "real" user account. Incoming messages for an account |
| 97 | with an UID below that value get routed according to the extra |
| 98 | alias file /etc/exim4/lowuid-aliases. If an account does not have |
| 99 | an alias there, it gets routed to the value of the macro |
| 100 | DEFAULT_SYSTEM_ACCOUNT_ALIAS, which defaults to ":fail: no mail to |
| 101 | system accounts" and gets the message rejected. You can use this |
| 102 | mechanism to route all messages for system accounts to a single |
| 103 | address, with exceptions. Locally generated messages are not |
| 104 | processed by this facility. |
| 105 | |
| 106 | Generation of the final exim configuration has changed. The |
| 107 | configuration no longer has the DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF |
| 108 | placeholders. All data from Debconf are put into exim |
| 109 | configuration macros by update-exim4.conf, which are then |
| 110 | appropriately picked up by the configuration itself. There should |
| 111 | be no visible change to people who have not modified their |
| 112 | configuration, but customized configurations need to adapt. |
| 113 | |
| 114 | We now do basic sanitizing of input read from |
| 115 | update-exim4.conf.conf. If your update-exim4.conf complains about |
| 116 | non-ascii values, you have found a bug. Please report it. |

| 122 | Bug #392993 says that 4.63-5 and -6 have overwritten manual |
| 123 | setting of dc_local_delivery with one of the default versions if |
| 124 | you have set dc_local_delivery to a value that is not either |
| 125 | mail_spool or maildir_home. Please verify that your |
| 126 | dc_local_delivery does still point to the transport you have |
| 127 | chosen. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | Please note that the debconf configuration only supports plain |
| 130 | lists. Advanced features like "dsearch;" entered there may work |
| 131 | today, but are not guaranteed to continue working in the future. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | If you want to use such features, please use the macros made |
| 134 | available for use in the configuration or edit the configuration |
| 135 | itself. |
| 136 | |
| 137 | This allows us to use semicolons as list delimiters consistently |
| 138 | while still being backwards compatible to colon-separated lists |
| 139 | without driving code complexity up too high. |
| 140 | |
| 141 | Starting with this version, update-exim4.conf will print a warning |
| 142 | if a dsearch lookup is found in the list of local domains, |
| 143 | dc_local_domains since there is a HOWTO on the Internet that |
| 144 | recommends doing this kind of things and this will _not_ work any |
| 145 | more. |

| 151 | exim4-config has had its debconf templates re-worked. Basic |
| 152 | functionality is unchanged, so you shouldn't expect a real |
| 153 | difference. The priority of most questions has been lowered to |
| 154 | medium, so that the Installer can install exim4 with no questions |
| 155 | being asked. The default is local delivery only. Mail messages for |
| 156 | root and postmaster are delivered to an mbox file in |
| 157 | /var/mail/mail, make sure to read them. |
| 158 | |
| 159 | You can do the full exim4 configuration by calling |
| 160 | dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config as root. |
| 161 | |
| 162 | It is now finally possible to configure exim4 to deliver outgoing |
| 163 | mail to a smarthost on a port number different from 25 via debconf. |

| 177 | |
| 178 | Please note that the handling of update-exim4.conf.conf has |
| 179 | changed with regard to dc_local_interfaces and dc_relay_nets: If |
| 180 | the strings given there contain a semicolon, the string "<;" is |
| 181 | now prepended to the value written to the configuration file to |
| 182 | consider ; a list separator. This significantly helps writing down |
| 183 | IPv6 addresses, but means that if you use complex things like |
| 184 | lookups in update-exim4.conf.conf, you'll have to change your |
| 185 | configuration to use the macros that directly interfere with the |
| 186 | configuration. |
| 187 | |
| 188 | 127.0.0.1 and ::1 have been removed from the default hostlist |
| 189 | relay_from_hosts - these addresses are now added by |

| 191 | MAIN_RELAY_NETS manually, you'll need to add these two addresses |
| 192 | to your local host list. |
