Exim 3.31 is now available:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim-3.31.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim-3.31.tar.bz2

32895393b49f5ac64fec7d3431b2b518 exim-3.31.tar.gz
d24350e5589e31aab80cda4dee15f9b4 exim-3.31.tar.bz2

This is a maintenance release that fixes two bugs. The code changes are
small and are also available in the following patch file:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/email/exim/exim-patch-3.30-3.31.gz

The changes are:

1. An address longer than 256 bytes could cause Exim to crash. Change 38 for
3.30 limits local addresses to 512 bytes (the RFC limit is 64bytes@255bytes and
SMTP addresses have always been limited), so the relevant vector has been
increased to 512 bytes.

2. The return_path generic transport option was being ignored for MAIL FROM
lines in BSMTP output in the appendfile and pipe transports.


The second of these changes now holds the record for the fastest time from
my receiving a bug report to the fix appearing in a release - less than
3 hours.
