sa-exim (4.2.1-14) unstable; urgency=low

    If you are using sa-exim's greylisting plugin for SpamAssassin you may

    want to review your setup. Previously the documentation recommended

    running spamd as the "nobody" user. This is not a very good

    recommendation as nobody/nogroup should be completely unprivileged and

    thus not own anything. This version won't change the ownership of any

    directories or files and won't try to fix your SpamAssassin

    configuration, but if you haven't modified /etc/cron.d/greylistclean

    it will be changed to run greylistclean as "Debian-exim", which won't

    work if the greylisting data is owned by nobody:nogroup.

sa-exim (4.2.1-8) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Since version 4.67-1, exim4 only exports those symbols that are part

    of the official local_scan API. Unfortunately, sa-exim has all along

    cheated and declared some "extern" variables by itself, something that

    no longer works. For one of these, body_linecount, no workaround is

    currently possible, meaning that it will not be updated if the message

    body is rewritten (by way of SpamAssassin's report_safe together with

    SARewriteBody: 1 in sa-exim.conf. This means that if you use

    $body_linecount or $message_linecount in string expansions in your

    Exim configuration, they will refer to the line count before rewriting

    the message body.

    This change will hopefully be restored soon, either by extending the

    local_scan API or by making Exim count the lines.
