515 * Simplify debian/rules and make it usable with dh v10 compat. The
516 fine-grained support for selecting the to be built packages (-custom with
517 or without -base) was dropped. The build process is now controlled by
518 attaching tasks to dh-override hooks instead of using file dependencies,
519 makefile-style. The latter broke with dh v10 due to upstream's
520 build-system which always has the main targets out-of-date inter alia due
521 to the compile-number feature.

524 * Use debhelper v10 compat.

1612 * debian/tests/control: Add missing python test dependency, as
1613 debian/tests/security calls python. Closes: #740092
1616 * 4.82 deprecated $tls_bits, $tls_certificate_verified, $tls_cipher,
1617 $tls_peerdn, $tls_sni and introduced tls_in_*/tls_out_* variants of these
1618 variables which describe the respective status of the current incoming or
1619 outgoing TLS connection. The rationale for this is that a single exim
1620 process can now use both an incoming (message reception) and outgoing
1621 TLS connection (callout or cutthrough delivery) concurrently. With this
1622 change the "old" variables were mapped to tls_in_*, i.e. they expand to
1623 empty values on outgoing connections. (This is not yet documented.)
1624 Outgoing tls-connections can therefore not be detected by nonempty
1625 $tls_cipher anymore. exim4-config << 4.82 used this mechanism to prevent
1626 sending of plaintext AUTH information on unencrypted connections. Force a
1627 lockstep upgrade of exim4-config by bumping the version of exim4-base's
1628 dependency on exim4-config to >= 4.82.

1757 Closes: #693696, #718871
1758 * Improve exim4-config_files.5 and README.Debian - Warn about unresolvable
1759 items in host lists. Closes: #627988
1760 * Drop support for "/etc/init.d/exim4 what". It offers zero benefit to
1761 invoking exiwhat directly and throws an error mesage, too. (Thanks Regid
1762 Ichira for the diagnosis.) Closes: #643720
1763 * Set "host_find_failed = ignore" (instead of defer) on smarthost and
1764 hub_user_smarthost router. Now if one (of the possibly multiple) listed
1765 smarthosts is not resolvable (NXDOMAIN) ignores it and and tries the next
1766 listed one. If all listed hosts are unresolvable the mail is still
1767 defered, since host_all_ignored is set to defer by default. Therefore the
1768 behavior does not change for single-smarthost systems. Closes: #658878
1769 * Remove obsolete conffile /etc/cron.monthly/exim4-base which was only
1770 shipped in 4.69-3. Closes: #689334
1771 * Update exim_db.8, syncing against spec.txt from exim 4.80.
1772 * 87_localinjected_mimeacl.diff from upstream GIT. When injecting a message
1773 locally in non-SMTP mode, and with MIME ACLs configured, if the ACL
1774 rejected the message, Exim would try to `fprintf(NULL, "%s",
1775 the_message)`. This fixes that.
1776 * [lintian] Escape some dashes in exim4-config_files.5.
1777 * Point vcs-* to anonscm.
1778 * Remove pidfile after stopping the daemon, exim does not remove it itself.
1780 * eu.po: Fix last reference to /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian
1781 (without either .html or .gz suffix). Closes: #394975

1954 the match_* expansion conditions: "match_address", "match_domain",
1955 "match_ip" & "match_local_part". Named lists can still be used. The

1965 after build. The old approach stopped working since upstream added a
1966 dependency on make all to make install. - As we were changing parts of

3390 * Mention in the comments of the default RCPT ACL that verification
3391 is likely to have false negatives in smarthost/satellite setups. This
3392 is the easiest way to fix #388460; the "real" fix would be very very

3592 * Move back man-pages (actually they are symlinks) related to the
3593 mail-transport-agent virtual package from exim4-base to the daemon
3594 packages. Other MTA packages also include these manpages and would
3595 otherwise need to explicitly conflict with exim4-base. Add "Replaces:

3613 * Whennever changing major Berkeley DB versions we zap the exim hint
3614 databases in exim4-base postinst. Change the code to also delete
3615 __db.retry, __db.misc, __db.callout and __db.wait* (which afaik are
3616 Berkeley DB internal files). If these are somehow broken strange errors
3617 occur, e.g. #360696. As we are deleting the whole db, deleting these files
3618 seems to be a good idea. (am)

4002 - [exim4-config] As the.config script stores answers in debconf's db and the

4220 and unstable changelog.
4221 * More lintian overrides. ("X" in eximon4's description has to be capital,
4222 and we take care to only use settitle if it is available.
4223 * make nullmailer setup and the way we use mailname a lot more sensible,
4224 attacking #244095 and #280207:
4225 - mailname is not implicitely made a local domain, instead it is listed
4226 explicitly in dc_other_hostnames, where users can easily remove it
4227 from. (This is basically what postfix does, too.) When upgrading
4228 existing installations mailname is automatically added _once_ to
4229 dc_other_hostnames, on fresh installations mailname is the default
4230 value of dc_other_hostnames. We store the fact that we have added
4231 mailname to dc_other_hostnames in $dc_mailname_in_oh in
4232 update-exim4.conf.conf.
4233 - Make exim work correctly if dc_readhost ("visible, rewritten domain name
4234 for local users") ends up as part of local_domain, which happens if
4235 the same value is chosen for mailname and dc_readhost. This
4236 implemented by new router, hub_user_smarthost. Previously users were
4237 required to use something different (my.invalid.domain) for mailname.
4238 - Special thanks to Christian Perrier for taking care of the
4239 template translation updates.
4240 * We did not substitute the current value into the debconf templates with
4241 db_subst but showed the old ones from the previous debconf run.
4242 * /etc/exim4/email-addresses is ignored now, please use /etc/email-addresses!

4457 two questions (split config, and basic configtype) again and again until
4458 you give up and choose split_config=yes although being discouraged from
4459 doing so. I am working around this by making the config-script abort if

4633 for "satellite" but also for "smarthost" system. (Closes: #229911).

4636 references to "satellite" which closes: #229902.)
4637 - Rewrite /this/ stuff at smtp transport time. /etc/email-addresses
4638 rewriting still uses normal rewriting because it always has and because
4639 it is easier to setup.
4640 - This still does not address one basic issue, the misuse of /etc/mailname
4641 for qualifying recipeints because this needs clarification in policy
