Betreff: [exim] Exim 4.95 released
Dear Exim users and maintainers,

we're proud to announce the release of Exim 4.95.

New stuff we've added since 4.94:

- From previous experimental support:
- fast-ramp queue run
- native SRS
- TLS resumption
- LMDB lookups with single key
- New:
- smtp transport option "message_linelength_limit"
- optionally ignore lookup caches
- quota checking for appendfile transport during message reception
- sqlite lookups allow a "file=<path>" option
- lsearch lookups allow a "ret=full" option
- command line option for the notifier socket
- faster TLS startup
- new main config option "proxy_protocol_timeout"
- expand "smtp_accept_max_per_connection"
- log selector "queue_size_exclusive"
- main config option "smtp_backlog_monitor"
- main config option "hosts_require_helo"
- main config option "allow_insecure_tainted_data"
- Removed:
- support for MacOS

All fixes from the 4.94.2+fixes branch (this includes the "21 nails" CVEs) are
included too.

If you upgrade from previous versions <4.94: the new taint checks are likely to
make your runtime configuration unusable. Read about the mitigation via the
"allow_insecure_tainted_data" first or make your configuration "taint check
proof".

If you upgrade from 4.94.2, nothing should break.

Thank you and all contributors for your support. Especially thanks to
