Exim 4.75 Release

Exim release 4.75 is now available from the primary ftp site:
* ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/exim-4.75.tar.gz
* ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/exim-4.75.tar.bz2

Version 4.75
------------

1. In addition to the existing LDAP and LDAP/SSL ("ldaps") support, there
is now LDAP/TLS support, given sufficiently modern OpenLDAP client
libraries. The following global options have been added in support of
this: ldap_ca_cert_dir, ldap_ca_cert_file, ldap_cert_file, ldap_cert_key,
ldap_cipher_suite, ldap_require_cert, ldap_start_tls.

2. The pipe transport now takes a boolean option, "freeze_signal", default
false. When true, if the external delivery command exits on a signal then
Exim will freeze the message in the queue, instead of generating a bounce.

3. Log filenames may now use %M as an escape, instead of %D (still available).
The %M pattern expands to yyyymm, providing month-level resolution.

4. The $message_linecount variable is now updated for the maildir_tag option,
in the same way as $message_size, to reflect the real number of lines,
including any header additions or removals from transport.

5. When contacting a pool of SpamAssassin servers configured in spamd_address,
Exim now selects entries randomly, to better scale in a cluster setup.

news regarding if is a stable version and if, this time, will be updated with custombuild?

I can see the new Exim version 4.75 in custombuild now. Hopefully it will be safe to upgrade.

After I upgraded from Exim 4.73 to Exim 4.75 using custombuild, and then do ./build versions, I get this:


What does this mean? Is there something wrong with custombuild and Exim?

If you have a working 4.74, then this version will be just what the doctor's ordered. No stability problems and some needed improvements.

Same problem here!

I installed.
No problem
Debian 6.0-64bit

I do not see the new version of exim in my custom build, it only shows 4.73 as the latest version

I did a
./build update_data
./build versions

I even tried
./build update_script

And still get
Latest version of Exim: 4.73
Installed version of Exim: 4.73

thoughts ?

Hello,

I've added a "head -n1" line to the version grabber for exim. Looks like they added another "build" line to the "exim -bV" output, hence the extra "lsearch" line. 1.2 has been updated with the fix, so you can do a ./build update now.

@notzippy: We only update files.directadmin.com. If you're using some other mirror, it can take up to 24 hours for the files to rsync over.

eg: options.conf:
downloadserver=files.directadmin.com
