| 4.3.2 | beta | 19+ | Added skip_rbl_hosts (wildcard domains for reverse IP lookups) and skip_rbl_hosts_ip (IPs and ranges) to be skipped for RBL checks |
| 4.3.3 | RC1 | 20+ | dnslist has be swapped to a RBL_DNS_LIST string constant, so it can be overridden in the exim.strings.conf.custom file, if so desired (also applies to ESF 1.7) |

| 4.4.5 | stable | 21+ | Set list.dnswl.org to only whitelist ips with medium or high trust. Remove low/zero trust whitelists: bitwise &0.0.0.2 (000&010=false, 001&010=false, 010&010=true, 110&010=true) |
| 4.4.6 | stable | 21+ |
Added: BLACKLIST_SMTP_USERNAMES = /etc/virtual/blacklist_smtp_usernames BLACKLIST_SCRIPT_USERNAMES = /etc/virtual/blacklist_script_usernames To compliment BLACKLIST_USERNAMES. The SMTP/SCRIPT version are used for specific items, while BLACKLIST_USERNAMES still blocks both, so you never need to add Users to more than 1 of the 3 files. |

| 4.4.8 | stable | 24+ | Removed hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.2 |
| 4.5.0 | testing | 21+ |
Issue where unseen srs router ignores srs header changes. See Forum thread Moved tls_certificate, tls_privatekey, openssl_options, and tls_require_ciphers, all to the exim.variables.conf.default. |
| 4.5.1 | testing | 21+ | Moved "hostlist relay_hosts=net-lsearch;/etc/virtual/pophosts" to exim.variables.conf.default, so pophosts can be removed. |
| 4.5.2 | testing | 21+ |
Changed the exim.variables.conf.default tls_require_ciphers value to a more modern list. Be advised that older mail clients may not be able to connect with these newer values. Also removed the /etc/virtual/pophosts file from relay_hosts. This means if you want to use popb4smtp, set the custom value "hostlist relay_hosts=net-lsearch;/etc/virtual/pophosts". With this change, all email clients must use smtp-auth to send emails, which is better for tracking. |
| 4.5.3 | stable | 21+ | Added a few .include_if_exists for acl_check_helo and acle_check_recipient. Diff |
| 4.5.4 | testing | 21+ |
Report that exim chunking bug persists in 4.89, so added 'hosts_try_chunking =' to remote_smtp and 'chunking_advertise_hosts =' to exim.variables.conf.default. These values may be removed later on, if the bug is resolved. Related Forum post |
| 4.5.5 | stable | 21+ | Removed combined.rbl.msrbl.net |
| 4.5.6 | stable | 21+ | Removed hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.2 |
| 4.5.7 | stable | 24+ | Added 3 lines so you can add a smart_route, transport and auth, without changing the main exim.conf: .include_if_exists /etc/exim.routers.pre.conf .include_if_exists /etc/exim.transports.pre.conf .include_if_exists /etc/exim.authenticators.post.conf |
| 4.5.8 | stable | 24+ | Added .include_if_exists /etc/exim.acl_script.pre.conf to allow for the warn section Added address_directory transport for the userforward (COMMENT 52) to solve "R=userforward defer (-30): directory_transport unset in userforward router" |
| 4.5.9 | stable | 24+ | Add missing Message-ID headers for bad MUAs that don't add them in exim's submission mode. Added .include_if_exists /etc/exim.acl_check_message.pre.conf Added .include_if_exists /etc/exim.acl_check_message.post.conf |
| 4.5.10 | stable | 24+ | For receiving non-local domain bounce messages, only throw the error if it's not authenticated Accept and send SRS formatted messages on local domains to blackhole. Used when remote server attempts to verify a local SRS sender. Not for saving actual inbounce messages, just to say "yes, we might have sent that" with minimal verification. |
| 4.5.11 | stable | 24+ | .include_if_exists /etc/exim/local_part_suffix.conf into various inbound router, used to alter the local_part_suffix, when needed. Also, /etc/exim/virtual_localdelivery.conf.post to add extra settings to that router. |
| 4.5.12 | stable | 24+ | Relating to SRS verification changes in 4.5.10, some formatting could include the / character which was previously blocked. |
| 4.5.14 | stable | 24+ | Moved the "no such user here" check before whitelisted IPs in acl_check_recipient. Whitelisting should not accept a message for a non-existance account. Above somewhat voids the need for this, but SRS from whitelisted IPs used to accepted any address. Can set warn set acl_c_accept_recipient_if_whitelisted = 0 in /etc/exim.acl_check_recipient.pre.conf to still do acl_check_recipient checks later in the acl_check_recipients ACL, but ESF 1.25 adds whitelist checks, so SPF drops are not done for whitelisetd IPs, but ESF header are still added.. |
| 4.5.15 | stable | 24+ | Changed related to automate support for remove dovecot proxy |
| 4.5.16 | stable | 24+ | Moved daemon_smtp_ports and tls_on_connect_ports to the exim.variables.conf |
| 4.5.17 | stable | 27+ | exim.conf to do proper lookups of /etc/passwd for home directories Newer exim.pl changes high-score blocks, and incoming emails now log sender for new DA email usage feature (1.57.0) Bottom of exim.pl also includes custom /etc/exim.custom.pl if it exists, for custom perl in the exim confs. exim.pl 28 adds support for Webmail SSO. |
| 4.5.18 | stable | 28+ | Swapped autoresponder/vacation messages to send to ${reply_address} instead of ${sender_address} |
| 4.5.19 | stable | 28+ | remote_smtp added hosts_try_fastopen to resolve 'broken pipe' from previous SPF check issues |

| 4.5.21 | stable | 28+ | Allow blank interface case in ACL as local IP |

| 4.5.30 | stable | 29+ | HELO check can now use whitelist_host_ip to skip the HELO impersonation check. User vacation messages on a suspended domain has a passwd exists check, to prevent error ESF 1.32 also released (unrelated) to prevent duplicate SPF softfail scores from adding many times if multiple recipients are in 1 message sent by an SPF softfail sender |
| 4.5.34 | testing | 29+ | Forwarded emails to external addresses will leave from the domain's assigned IP, not the server IP (lookuphost_forward_router, remote_smtp_forward_transport) |
| 4.5.35 | stable | 29+ | Removed SpamCop from the list of RBLs due to past outages |
