| 98.14.6/8.14.6 2012/12/23
10 Fix a regression introduced in 8.14.5: if a server offers
11 two AUTH lines, the MTA would not read them after
12 STARTTLS has been used and hence SMTP AUTH for
13 the client side would fail. Problem noted by Lena.
14 Do not cache hostnames internally in a non case sensitive way
15 as that may cause addresses to change from lower case
16 to upper case or vice versa. These header modifications
17 can cause problems with milters that rely on receiving
18 headers in the same way as they are being sent out such
19 as a DKIM signing milter.
20 If MaxQueueChildren is set then it was possible that new queue
21 runners could not be started anymore because an
22 internal counter was subject to a race condition.
23 If a milter decreases the timeout it waits for a communication
24 with the MTA, the MTA might experience a write() timeout.
25 In some situations, the resulting error might have been
26 ignored. Problem noted by Werner Wiethege.
27 Note: decreasing the communication timeout in a milter
28 should not be done without considering the potential
29 problems.
30 smfi_setsymlist() now properly sets the list of macros for
31 the milter which invoked it, instead of a global
32 list for all milters. Problem reported by
33 David Shrimpton of the University of Queensland.
34 If Timeout.resolver.retrans is set to a value larger than 20,
35 then resolver.retry was temporarily set to 0 for
36 gethostbyaddr() lookups. Now it is set to 1 instead.
37 Patch from Peter.
38 If sendmail could not lock the statistics file due to a system
39 error, and sendmail later sends a DSN for a mail that
40 triggered such an error, then sendmail tried to access
41 memory that was freed before (causing a crash on some
42 systems). Problem reported by Ryan Stone.
43 Do not log negative values for size= nor pri= to avoid confusing
44 log parsers, instead limit the values to LONG_MAX.
45 Account for an API change in newer versions of Cyrus-SASL.
46 Patch from Hajimu UMEMOTO from FreeBSD.
47 Do not try to resolve link-local addresses for IPv4 (just as it
48 is done for IPv6). Patch from John Beck of Oracle.
49 Improve logging of client and server STARTTLS connection failures
50 that may be due to incompatible cipher lists by including
51 the reason for the failure in a single log line. Suggested
52 by James Carey of Boeing.
53 Portability:
54 Add support for Darwin 11.x and 12.x (Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8).
55 Add support for SunOS 5.12 (aka Solaris 12). Patch from
56 John Beck of Oracle.

98.14.5/8.14.5 2011/05/17
10 Do not cache SMTP extensions across connections as the cache
11 is based on hostname which may not be a unique identifier
12 for a server, i.e., different machines may have the
13 same hostname but provide different SMTP extensions.
14 Problem noted by Jim Hermann.
15 Avoid an out-of-bounds access in case a resolver reply for a DNS
16 map lookup returns a size larger than 1K. Based on a

59 Do not cache SMTP extensions across connections as the cache
60 is based on hostname which may not be a unique identifier
