No, but the next release contains fixed code. The only externally supplied regex that Exim uses are in users' filter files, which are run in processes that are running with the user's uid. Therefore, if they cause havoc through this bug, they affect only that user. At least, that's the theory. > Also could there be an option to use ext pcre libs (as redhat's update for > rhel4 does)? This item is something that has previously been discussed. What I would like to do is to include a vanilla PCRE distribution instead of the specially cut-down one that Exim currently uses, and have the option of using it or an external library. This is a reasonable amount of work, so it won't get done for some time, I'm afraid. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cambridge, England.
