as samples, either by the user or by bsd.pkg.install.mk.
- Correctly handle configuration files, that is, avoid touching the conf
directory directly.
- Use OWN_DIRS to handle the spool directory.
- Run post-install through an INSTALL script.
- Sort PLIST after all these changes.
- Bump PKGREVISION to 1.
- Postfix processes now abort when given a net/mask pattern with
a non-zero host portion (for example, 168.100.189.2/28), instead
of risking to become an open mail relay.
- Workaround for file system clock drift that caused Postfix to
ignore new mail (this could happen with queue file systems mounted
from a server).
- Added MAILER-DAEMON to the list of always recognized local
addresses, since it is generated by Postfix bounces.
- Bugfix: transport_errno was not reset upon successful
transport map wildcard lookup after an earlier failure.
- Cleanup: unnecessary warnings from the proxymap client
after proxymap server disconnect.
- Cleanup: Patrik Rak found a few more chattr invocations
that were missed 20021209. Files: postfix-install,
conf/post-install.
- Cleanup: the pcre-config command can produce null outputs.
- Bugfix: the virtual(8) Makefile included $(AUXLIBS) in the
dependencies.
- Bugfix: fixed in the snapshots 20030105 but missed in the
stable release. "sendmail -bs" tried to access the proxymap
service. It should not try to open any user/domain/uce
related tables at all.
Major changes with release-20010228
===================================
Postfix produces DSN formatted bounced/delayed mail notifications.
The human-readable text still exists, so that users will not have
to be unnecessarily confused by all the ugliness of RFC 1894. Full
DSN support will be later.
This release introduces full content filtering through an external
process. This involves an incompatible change in queue file format.
Mail is delivered to content filtering software via an existing
mail delivery agent, and is re-injected into Postfix via an existing
mail submission agent. See examples in the FILTER_README file.
Depending on how the filter is implemented, you can expect to lose
a factor of 2 to 4 in delivery performance of SMTP transit mail,
more if the content filtering software needs lots of CPU or memory.
Specify "body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/body_checks" for a quick
and dirty emergency content filter that looks at non-header lines
one line at a time (including MIME headers inside the message body).
Details in conf/sample-filter.cf.
The header_checks and body_checks features can be used to strip
out unwanted data. Specify IGNORE on the right-hand side and the
data will disappear from the mail.
Support for SASL (RFC 2554) authentication in the SMTP server and
in the SMTP and LMTP clients. See the SASL_README file for more
details. This file still needs better examples.
Postfix now ships with an LMTP delivery agent that can deliver over
local/remote TCP sockets and over local UNIX-domain sockets. The
LMTP_README file gives example, but still needs to be revised.
Fast "ETRN" and "sendmail -qR". Postfix maintains per-destination
logfiles with information about what mail is queued for selected
destinations. See the file ETRN_README for details.
The mailbox locking style is now fully configurable at runtime.
The new configuration parameter is called "mailbox_delivery_lock".
Depending on the operating system type, mailboxes can be locked
with one or more of "flock", "fcntl" or "dotlock". The command
"postconf -l" shows the available locking styles. The default
mailbox locking style is system dependent. This change affects
all mailbox and all "/file/name" deliveries by the Postfix local
delivery agent.
changes since pl02:
20010501
Bugfix: The SMTP server's 550 in reply to DATA should be
a 554 response. And it wasn't Sendmail. Claus Assman.
Bugfix: the INSTALL.sh test for non-interactive upgrade
broke rooted installations that specify settings via the
environment. Simon Mudd.
Bugfix: mailq output is now really flushed one message at
a time. File: sendmail/sendmail.c.
20010507
Bugfix: with soft_bounce=yes, the SMTP server would log
5xx replies even though it would send 4xx replies to the
client (Phil Howard, ipal.net). File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20010523
Bugfix: postsuper's temporary file detection logic needed
fixing.
Bugfix: memory leak in the LDAP client module. Alain
Thivillon, France Teaser - Groupe Firstream.
20010525
Bugfix: the SMTP and LMTP clients claimed that a queue file
needed to be delivered again (even when all recipients were
erased from the queue file) when no QUIT or RSET reply was
received (by default, this does not happen with SMTP mail
because the SMTP client does not wait for QUIT replies and
does not send RSET to deliver mail). As a result of the
same bug the LMTP client followed a dangling pointer when
sending QUIT after process idle timeout while the LMTP
server had disconnected. Files: smtp/smtp_proto.c,
lmtp/lmtp_proto.c.
20010403
Workaround: the mysql library can return null pointers
rather than zero-length strings.
20010404
Ergonomics: log additional information about the reason
why "mail for XXX loops back to myself", when the local
machine is the best MX host. File: smtp/smtp_addr.c.
20010406
Changed some noisy LDAP client warnings into optional
logging. LaMont Jones, util/dict_ldap.c.
20010411
Bugfix: the SMTP server now replies with 550 instead of
503 when it receives the DATA command without having received
a valid recipient address. This is needed for the Sendmail
client-side pipelining implementation. Problem reported by
Lutz Jaenicke. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
Cleanup: shut up if chattr fails on Reiserfs and other file
systems that do not support the respective attributes.
Files: conf/postfix-script-{no,}sgid.
20010413
Ergonomics: Postfix applications now warn when a DB or DBM
file is out of date, and recommend to rebuild the table.
Files: util/dict_db.c, util/dict_dbm.c.
20010414
Bugfix: with a non-default inet_interfaces setting, the
master ignored host information in master.cf host:port
settings. Fix by Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino @ iijlab.net.
Files: master/master.h, master/master_ent.c.
20010426
Bugfix: the SMTP server did not parse invalid MAIL FROM or
RCPT TO addresses such as <first last <user@domain>> the
way it was supposed to do. I thought this was taken care
of years ago. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20010427
Bugfix: smtpd would reject mail instead of replying with
a 4xx temporary error code when, for example, an LDAP or
mysql server was unavailable. Remotely based on a fix by
Robert Kiessling @ de.easynet.net. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
