I'm afraid I made a rather nasty boo-boo when making a "small" change to
Exim for 2.03, the result of which is that incoming calls via inetd are
bypassing the host checking. The patch is trivial, and is below. I have
put a new version (2.04) on the ftp site:
ftp://ftp.cus.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programs/exim/exim-2.04.tar.gz
e4be71bb4a9d2a15351aa008859b0c70 exim-2.04.tar.gz
There is also a patch file in
ftp://ftp.cus.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programs/exim/exim-patch-2.03-2.04.gz
The patch below is the only change to the code (the full patch changes
the version number and the ChangeLog file as well as exim.c). If you are
not using inetd to call Exim, there is no need to upgrade.
Sorry about that. Obviously I need another holiday :-)
