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

187 * 4.82 deprecated $tls_bits, $tls_certificate_verified, $tls_cipher,
188 $tls_peerdn, $tls_sni and introduced tls_in_*/tls_out_* variants of these
189 variables which describe the respective status of the current incoming or
190 outgoing TLS connection. The rationale for this is that a single exim
191 process can now use both an incoming (message reception) and outgoing
192 TLS connection (callout or cutthrough delivery) concurrently. With this
193 change the "old" variables were mapped to tls_in_*, i.e. they expand to
194 empty values on outgoing connections. (This is not yet documented.)
195 Outgoing tls-connections can therefore not be detected by nonempty
196 $tls_cipher anymore. exim4-config << 4.82 used this mechanism to prevent
197 sending of plaintext AUTH information on unencrypted connections. Force a
198 lockstep upgrade of exim4-config by bumping the version of exim4-base's
199 dependency on exim4-config to >= 4.82.

527 previous behavior made it too easy to create (remotely) vulnerable

964 has 1.16. Closes: #486436.
965 * Do not set 'tls_try_verify_hosts = *' by default anymore. Some clients
966 (e.g Outlook) will terminate the SSL connection when the server presents
967 the long list of accepted TLS certificates after STARTTLS. If TLS
968 certificate validation of clients is needed you'll need to set

1903 should eliminate the "exim blocking on entropy starvation" issue.
1904 * update-exim4.conf: Take only the first word from /etc/mailname as
1905 system mail name. Thanks to Mike Mestnik. Closes: #215319.

1918 * Change debian/rules documentation for daemon-custom build.
1919 Thanks to Guido Hennecke. Closes: #386135
1920 * Rotate paniclog by size, not daily, to avoid rotating away
1921 messages after complaining from the daily cron job.

1926 Thanks to M Mamoune Mbacke
1927 * Add a paragraph explaning the gnutls-bin suggestion to ease DH
1928 parameter generation in case of entropy starvation.
1929 Thanks to Andi Barth and Florian Weimer.
1930 * Since a new version of sysvinit upload will move /var/run/ to a tmpfs
1931 directories under /var/run/ and their permissions are not persistent
1932 anymore but will be lost after a reboot. - Re-generate /var/run/exim4 in
1933 the init script to compensate for this. (am) (closes: #387699)
1934 * update-exim4.conf: Exit with an error if dc_use_split_config is neither
1935 true nor false instead of replacing the configuration with an empty one.
1936 (am) Closes: #386554
1937 * More intelligence for exim4_refresh_gnutls-params:
1938 * If certtool (from gnutls-bin) is unavailable but openssl is installed
1939 use openssl to re-generate DH params. (am)
1940 * Change exim4-base Suggests on gnutls-bin to gnutls-bin|openssl. (am)
1941 * Move invocation and background mechanism to exim4_refresh_gnutls-params.
1942 Script can now be called any time from the command line or any
1944 * Only regenerate dh params if tls_advertise_hosts is non empty.
1945 According to Florian Weimer, DH params are only needed for
1946 incoming TLS connections.
1947 * Thanks, Yuri D'Elia. This addresses #387448
1948 * Improve entropy and gnutls-params docs.
1950 * Invoke exim4_refresh_gnutls-params unconditionally.
1951 * Send out e-mail alert if gnutls-params is older than 14 days.
1952 * rename config varables to E4BCD_, source /etc/default/exim4
1953 * introduce a E4BCD_PANICLOG_NOISE variable containing a regexp.
1954 Paniclog is negatively filtered against that regexp and paniclog
1955 warning is only sent out if unfiltered lines remain. This is to allow
1956 work around http://www.exim.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=92
1957 * Prepare hosts_avoid_tls statement on SMTP transports
1958 * Macroize log_selector, remove +tls_cipher from examples (it is on
1959 by default) and always set tls_peerdn (we use TLS by default for
1960 outgoing connections). Make it easier to enable debug logging.
1961 * Mention in the comments of the default RCPT ACL that verification
1962 is likely to have false negatives in smarthost/satellite setups. This
1963 is the easiest way to fix #388460; the "real" fix would be very very
1964 complicated and thus unsuitable for the default configuration.
1967 * Re-Work "misc" section to contain subsection. Fix minor
1969 * Add a section about SELinux to the misc subsection saying that
1970 we currently do not have an SELinux policy but would appreciate
1971 people helping here. This is already bug #387327 and #390179.

2790 * Now that 4.44 is released upload 4.43 to unstable. ;-) Merge experimental
2791 and unstable changelog.
2792 * More lintian overrides. ("X" in eximon4's description has to be capital,
2793 and we take care to only use settitle if it is available.
2794 * make nullmailer setup and the way we use mailname a lot more sensible,
2795 attacking #244095 and #280207:
2796 - mailname is not implicitely made a local domain, instead it is listed
2797 explicitly in dc_other_hostnames, where users can easily remove it
2798 from. (This is basically what postfix does, too.) When upgrading
2799 existing installations mailname is automatically added _once_ to
2800 dc_other_hostnames, on fresh installations mailname is the default
2801 value of dc_other_hostnames. We store the fact that we have added
2802 mailname to dc_other_hostnames in $dc_mailname_in_oh in
2803 update-exim4.conf.conf.
2804 - Make exim work correctly if dc_readhost ("visible, rewritten domain name
2805 for local users") ends up as part of local_domain, which happens if
2806 the same value is chosen for mailname and dc_readhost. This
2807 implemented by new router, hub_user_smarthost. Previously users were
2808 required to use something different (my.invalid.domain) for mailname.
2809 - Special thanks to Christian Perrier for taking care of the
2810 template translation updates.
2811 * We did not substitute the current value into the debconf templates with
2812 db_subst but showed the old ones from the previous debconf run.
2813 * /etc/exim4/email-addresses is ignored now, please use /etc/email-addresses!
2814 * Bosnian (bs.po) translation is complete (Thanks Adis Nezirovic).

3116 allowed: "(char **)(&foo)" where foo is a pointer to unsigned char
3117 (sourcecode: CSS(foo) with foo being a uchar), which results in lots of
3118 "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules".

3195 default QUEUEINTERVAL at 30m because running the queue can be quite

3201 question by replacing a unnecessarily complicated formulation with a
3202 clearer one which closes: #226809.
3203 * Debconf supports masquerading as a different host with rewriting not only
3204 for "satellite" but also for "smarthost" system. (Closes: #229911).
3205 - Introduces another but hopefully last pre-sarge template change.
3206 (This includes final versions of the templates without the dead
3207 references to "satellite" which closes: #229902.)
3208 - Rewrite /this/ stuff at smtp transport time. /etc/email-addresses
3209 rewriting still uses normal rewriting because it always has and because
3210 it is easier to setup.
3211 - This still does not address one basic issue, the misuse of /etc/mailname
3212 for qualifying recipeints because this needs clarification in policy
3213 _and_ changing MUAs to not do this. Therefore I declare this post-sarge.
3214 - Thanks to Chris Cheney for the kick, and to Adam Conrad and Wouter
3215 Verhelst for their help.
3216 * Add two fixes from upstream:
3217 - Change 4.31/55 was buggy and broke sender address rewriting and caching.

3251 more changes, translators should probably wait a little bit longer before
3252 updating the translation.
3253 * On fresh installations smarthost profile only listens on loopback per

3541 root via /etc/aliases or other means to a nonpriviledged account the

4394 * /usr/lib/exim/ --> /usr/lib/exim4/ -- Put eximon.bin there, too.

4404 * Use files named after the real package (exim4-base instead of) exim for
4405 cron and logrotate. - use dh_installlogrotate and dh_installcron
4406 * Don't install exim.8 manpages in daemon packages - symlink is enough, ship
4407 real manpage in base-package. - use dh_installman.
4408 * Get rid of m4-magic - without the alternatives there is no need.

4412 exim4 (4.10-0.srh20.1) unstable; urgency=low
4414 * rename package, replace dependencies.
4416 - binary exim(-something) --> exim4-something
4417 - Remove Provides: exim - does not make sense anymore, dselect/apt
4418 would take the real exim instead of the provided one.
4419 - Revamp Dependencies and contents
4420 * exim4-base provides/confl/repl: mta and depends on one of *our*
4422 * each of the flavours only contains only /usr/sbin/exim4 and a manpagelink
4423 exim4--->exim - there is no need to provides/confl/repl: mta, because
4424 we ship no common file with the same name as in the original
4426 - drop alternatives.
4427 - install configuration example to /usr/share/doc/exim4-doc/examples

4433 * exim-base.config fixes during testing-- need to run debconf subs in a
4434 list context to get their numeric return code.
4435 * enqueue_question(): $code == 0 is ok too
4436 * main: call fetch_default() not find_default() [when did I last test this?]

4463 * Put --exec $DAEMON back on the start-stop-daemon --stop calls, since
4464 start-stop-daemon complains about the process not being found after it
4465 just killed it. (Due to Exim not removing its own pid file?)

4473 * Remove alternatives AFTER stopping daemon.
4474 * Use logrotate to cycle logs.
4475 * Manually install logrotate/cron stuff, to call it "exim" instead of "exim-base".
4476 * Install upstream exim.8 manpage, and slave alternatives.

4480 exim (4.10-0.srh14) unstable; urgency=low
4482 * dh_installinit: pass --noscripts, put the script invocation etc. in
4483 ourselves. This is still pretty nasty, but ensures that the deamons
4484 are stopped/started themselves, not by exim-base.
4485 * Also, pass --init-script=exim to use /etc/init.d/exim, not
4486 /etc/init.d/exim-base.
4487 * Fix some inconsistencies in the postsinst related to the above that
4489 * Remove the --exec option when stopping the daemon in the init script,
4490 so that we still stop the daemon if the symlink changed to point to a
4491 different version (hacky).

4501 exim (4.10-0.srh12) unstable; urgency=low
4503 * The postinsts were totally broken, doing everything off the "install"
4504 target, and nothing off "configure". Since they're all pracitcally the
4505 same, they are now generated from daemon-postinst.m4.
4506 * Fix invocations of dpkg-statoverride (sysuser??)
4507 * Added slave alternatives for mailq, sendmail etc.
4508 * Removed daemon packages conflicting with mail-transport-agent,
4509 although this isn't good-- the deamon packages don't conflict with
4510 each other (they use alternatives to arrange themselves), but do
4511 conflict with other MTAs that install
4512 /usr/lib/sendmail|/usr/sbin/sendmail links. Urnf.
4513 * Similar generation system for prerms as postinsts

4526 * Patch src/expand.c with HMAC support
4527 * Rename exim-daemon-default package to just "exim", so upgrading works
4528 better, and exim isn't made into a pure virtual package while other
4529 packages depend on it. Moreover, mail-transport-agent is provided by
4530 each of the daemon packages, not exim-base, since having exim-base
4531 alone is not sufficient to have an MTA.
4532 * Each exim daemon package depends on exim-base, not exim.

4542 - exim-daemon-$FOO: (Currently for FOO in light, default, heavy,

4552 debug selector enabled.
4553 * exim.postinst et al: Keep the alternatives configured between upgrades
4554 (naughty) since exim-light will fail to start if exim-heavy keywords
4555 are in the config file

4563 * tls.c and others: ${tls_peercn} now expands to the CN part of the
4564 peer's certificate subject when using TLS.
4565 * transports/smtp.c and others: Added tls_verify_hostname option to
4566 verify the hostname we connected to against the CN/subjectAltName
4567 of the peer certificate.

4575 * Replace LOOKUP_CDB=yes in exim-light configuration, since it was in
4576 the Exim 3 package and doesn't bring in any dependencies.
4577 * exim.postinst: delete files from /var/spool/exim/db if they cannot be

4584 * My stab at an Exim 4 package. Features include:
4585 * An exim-heavy package that contains an Exim binary with LDAP,
4586 MySQL, PostgreSQL etc. in, so that the main Exim package's
4587 dependencies are kept thin but users can easily get hold of
4588 the extra lookup types.
4589 * Debconf-based configuration, although it has priority=high
4590 questions, so not completely noninteractive yet, and not
4591 all features of eximconfig have been ported/checked
4592 * Automated conversion of Exim 3 configuration files
4593 (using PH's convert4r4)
