- The Postfix sqlite client, introduced with Postfix 2.8, had an
embarassing bug in its quoting routine. As the result of a
last-minute code cleanup before release, this routine returned the
unquoted text instead of the quoted text. The opportunities for
mis-use are limited: Postfix sqlite database files are usually owned
by root, and Postfix daemons usually run with non-root privileges so
they can't corrupt the database. This problem was reported by Rob
McGee (rob0).
- The Postfix 2.8.4 fix for local delivery agent database lookup
errors was incomplete. The fix correctly added new code to detect
database lookup errors with mailbox_transport_maps,
mailbox_command_maps or fallback_transport_maps, but it failed to
log the problem, and to produce a defer logfile record which is
needed for "delayed mail" and "mail too old" delivery status
notifications.
- The trace(8) service, used for DSN SUCCESS notifications, did not
distinguish between notifications for a non-bounce or a bounce
message, causing it to "reply" to mail with the null sender
address. Problem reported by Sabahattin Gucukoglu.
- Support for Dovecot auth over TCP sockets, using code that already
existed for testing purposes. Patrick Koetter kindly provided an
update for the SASL_README file.

OpenLDAP API, by Victor Duchovni.
