https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1827

            Bug ID: 1827
           Summary: fix the use of int on 16 bits x86 (it can also provide
                    improvements on plateforms using ʟᴘ64 and ʟʟᴘ64)
           Product: Exim
           Version: N/A
          Hardware: x86
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: security
          Priority: medium
         Component: Unfiled
          Assignee: nigel@???
          Reporter: ytrezq@???
                CC: exim-dev@???

As suggested on
https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20140421.235713.227c7638.fr.html I also
post this here.

The 16 bits architecture is supported in exim though Linux and ʙꜱᴅ.

While probably nobody will rub exim on original hardware, the 16 bits x86
architecture is a good choice for microcontrollers.
NEC is an example company manufacturing 80286 compatible µC (for embedded
device of course)

Several fixes will follow this pull request once merged or definitely rejected
(not enough time to rewrite until July). One of them patch a confirmed flow
that allow to ᴍɪᴍ any connections when relaying to an another client (no
versions of ɢɴᴜᴛʟꜱ or openꜱꜱʟ prevent this)
