Just when you stopped hoping, and started making bets on how many more years
it would take for the next release, it's here finally
http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/sa.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sa-exim/
Deb package is here:
http://marc.merlins.org/linux/exim/files/debian/
(compiled against unstable, you might have to rebuild for testing, or wait
for official deb packages from Sander Smeenk, although I'm pretty sure
they're in sync right now)
The changelist is here:
* Deal with being called with the number of recipients is 0
(reported by John Horne)
* Made hopefully fully 64 bit clean (well, it was written that way,
except for that pesky printf in C, which got in the way). Kudos go
to Adam D. Barratt for finding and explaining the bug
* Switched to using strchr instead of index to remove compilation
warnings on some systems (reported by John Horne/Jeff Carter)
* Added SAspamcHost/SAspamcPort at the request of several people
* Fixed mbox From file to be standards complaint (reported by Cliff
Hones)
* Added SAFEMESGIDCHARS option for safer message-id based filenames
* New version of the SA patch, with safe file creation (clean env
from and rcpt to before using as directory names)
* IMPORTANT: if you are using greylisting, and applied the previous
greylisting patch, it didn't create shell safe filenames, it is
therefore highly recommended that you apply the new version
* Added a quick patch to sa-exim to deal with headers that are
longer than 8K (and drop the remaining lines)
As explained there, if you are using the old SA patch, you should really
upgrade to the new one in order to get shell safe filenames (the creation
was safe, but dealing with them with shell scripts to expire records was
potentially unsafe depending on how you did it)
