that you need to populate the new files with "sendmail -q".
The old files go away automatically. File: flush/flush.c.
20010327
Speed up mailq (sendmail -bp) display by flushing output
after each file. File: showq/showq.c.
Portability: missing string.h includes, %p wants (void *),
Lamont Jones, HP.
20010328
Bugfix: swapped logic caused cleanup to stall when the
queue file size exceeded the file size limit by less than
one the VSTREAM buffer size, so that the "file too big"
was detected after flushing the last queue file record.
File: cleanup/cleanup.c.
20010329
Portability: workaround for missing prototype problem in
dict_ldap.c. This module should move to the global directory,
because it depends on Postfix main.cf parameter information.
Workaround: after sending a trigger message over a socket,
do not immediately close the client side, but close it from
a background thread that waits until the server closes the
socket first. This avoids trouble with socket implementations
that destroy a socket when the client closes a socket
before the server has received the client's data. Files:
util/{inet,unix,stream}_trigger.c, util/events.c,
master/master_trigger.c, postkick/postkick.c.
20010403
Workaround: the mysql library can return null pointers
rather than zero-length strings. File: util/dict_mysql.c.
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file is out of date, and recommend to rebuild the table.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
Feature: specify a key of "-" to the postmap or postalias
-q or -d option, and the keys will be read from standard
input, one key per line. Files: postmap/postmap.c,
postalias/postalias.c.
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.
20010429
Feature: the Postfix SMTP client now by default randomly
shuffles destination IP addresses of equal preference.
Specify "smtp_randomize_addresses = no" to disable.
Shuffling code by Elias Levy @ SecurityFocus.com Files:
dns/dns_rr.c, smtp/smtp_addr.c.
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.
Feature: "postsuper -d queueID" deletes one message queue
file; "postsuper -d -" reads zero or more queue IDs from
standard input, and deletes one instance of each file.
File: postsuper/postsuper.c.
Code cleanup: in order to make postsuper -d safe with a
running Postfix mail system, some routines had to be made
tolerant for sudden queue file disappearances. Files:
global/deliver_request.c, *qmgr/qmgr_move.c.
Code cleanup: in order to make postsuper -d more usable,
the showq command was extended to safely list the possibly
world-writable maildrop directory. File: showq/showq.c.
20010504
Feature: postsuper -d will also delete defer and bounce
logfiles when the named queue file is found.
20010505
RFC 2821 feature: an SMTP server must reset all buffers
upon receipt of EHLO. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
RFC 2821 feature: an SMTP server must accept a recipient
address of "postmaster" without domain name. File:
smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
RFC 2821 recommendation: reply with 503 to commands sent
after 554 greeting. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
RFC 2821 recommendation: if VRFY is enabled, list it in
the EHLO response. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
RFC 2821 recommendation: SMTP clients should use EHLO.
The default setting of smtp_always_send_ehlo has changed
from 0 (send EHLO if server greets with ESMTP) to 1 (always
send EHLO). In all cases, Postfix falls back to HELO if
the server does not support EHLO. File: smtp/smtp_proto.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.
20010515
Compatibility: Microsoft sends "AUTH=MBS_BASIC LOGIN".
Updated the parsing code in smtp/smtp_proto.c. Problem
reported by Ralf Tessmann, Godot GmbH.
20010520
Standard: deleted the non-standard "via" portion from
Received: headers generated by Postfix bounce or other
notification processes. File: global/post_mail.c.
Robustness: eliminated stack-based recursion from the RFC
822 address parser. File: global/tok822_parse.c.
Standard: annotated the source code with comments based on
RFC 2821 and 2822. Not all the RFC changes make sense.
RFC 2821 recommendation: treat a RCPT 552 reply as if the
server sent 452. Files: smtp/smtp_proto.c, lmtp/lmtp_proto.c.
Cleanup: moved ownership of the debug_peer parameters from
the applications to the library, so that a Postfix shared
library does not suffer from undefined references. Files:
smtp/smtp.c, lmtp/lmtp.c, smtpd/smtpd.c, global/mail_params.c.
LaMont Jones, for Debian.
20010522
Feature: "postsuper -r queueID" re-queues a message, and
"postsuper -r ALL" re-queues all mail. The message is moved
to the maildrop queue so that the pickup daemon will copy
it to a new queue file, and so that address rewriting will
be done again. This is useful after changes of address
rewriting or virtual mappings.
Feature: "postsuper -d ALL [queue-name]" deletes a bunch
of mail.
20010523
Feature: "postsuper -s" (which is done by default) renames
queue files whose name (queue ID) does not match the message
file inode number.
Bugfix: memory leak in the LDAP client module. Alain
Thivillon, France Teaser - Groupe Firstream.
20010525
Portability: gcc 2.6.3 does not have __attribute__ (Clive
Jones, dgw.co.uk). File: util/sys_defs.h.
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.
20010526
newaliases no longer complains when an empty list is
specified with the alias_database configuration parameter.
File: sendmail/sendmail.c.
20010529
Workaround: old PIX firewall code messes up when the final
".<CR><LF>" at the end of DATA spans a packet boundary.
When Postfix detects PIX SMTP fixup mode, Postfix flushes
the output buffers before sending the final ".<CR><LF>".
File: smtp/smtp_proto.c.
20010530
Portability: updated code for Mac OS X, accounting for the
post-Beta changes. Code by Joe Block, UCF School of
Optics/CREOL.
20010601
Safety: postdrop turns off interrupts when cleaning up
after interrupt. The additional safety does not hurt anyone.
File: src/postdrop/postdrop.c.
20010607
Safety: dropped the RFC 2821 compliant code that treats
552 RCPT TO replies as 452. It created more problems than
it solved. Files: smtp/smtp_proto.c, lmtp/lmtp_proto.c.
Logging: the SMTP server now logs a warning if RBL lookups
have problems other than "not found". file: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20010610
Feature: address quoting and case folding flags for the
pipe(8) mailer.
20010611
Workaround: some MTAs fall on their face when they receive
unexpectedly long lines. From now on, Postfix defaults to
breaking long lines at 2048 (like Sendmail so it has got to
be right). To get the old, content preserving, behavior
specify "smtp_truncate_lines = no". File: smtp/smtp_proto.c.
20010614
Bugfix: did not really undo 2821 552->452 mapping.
20010628
Bugfix: postfix-script used a hard-coded maildrop group
owner instead of using the install-time specified name
stored in /etc/postfix/install.cf. Problem reported by
David Terrell @ meat.net.
20010701
Feature: mail_spool_directory ending in / causes maildir
style delivery.
Bugfix: the FreeBSD kernel parameters kern.ipc.nmbclusters
and kern.ipc.maxsockets cannot be set with sysctl commands.
File: html/faq.html. Len Conrad @ Go2France.com.
Cleanup: the virtual delivery agent was poorly integrated
so that the SMTP server and queue manager did not reject
mail for unknown users. Files: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20010705
Feature: QMQP server, compatible with qmail and the ezmlm
list manager. Files: util/netstring.[hc], qmqpd/qmqpd*.c.
20010706
Feature: QMQP stress test message generator program. Files:
smtpstone/qmqp-source.c, smtpstone/qmqp-sink.c.
20010708
Bugfix: with disable_dns=yes, the SMTP client treated all
host lookup errors as permanent. File: smtp/smtp_addr.c.
20010709
Feature: VERP support, based on a patch by Peng Yong, and
with the missing parts filled in so that the Postfix bounce
daemon can send one VERP bounce per undeliverable recipient.
Files: , sendmail/sendmail.c, smtpd/smtpd.c, qmgr/qmgr_deliver.c,
bounce/bounce_notify_verp.c, qmqpd/qmqpd.c, plus a couple
support routines in the global library.
Cleanup: with recipient_delimiter=+ (or any character other
than -) Postfix will now recognize address extensions even
with owner-foo+extension addresses. This is necessary to
make VERP work for mailing lists.
20010710
Bugfix: potential memory leak in the queue managers with
the new VERP delimiter record. Fix by Patrik Rak.
20010711
Cleanup: you can now specify the VERP delimiter characters
on the sendmail(1) command line, but they are still optional.
Safety: with maildir style delivery and with hashed mailboxes
the system mail spool directory must not be world writable.
20010713
Safety: the verp_delimiter_filter parameter (default: -=+)
limits what characters Postfix accepts as VERP delimiter
characters.
20010714
Logging: the queue manager now logs a "status=expired"
record when it returns a message that is too old. Files:
*qmgr/qmgr_active.c.
20010719
Feature: stiffer coupling between mail receiving rates and
mail delivery rates, using a trivial token-based scheme,
implemented by reading and writing an in-memory pipe. The
queue manager produces one token when it retrieves mail
from the incoming queue. The cleanup daemon consumes one
token when it adds mail to the incoming queue. If no token
is available the cleanup server pauses for $in_flow_delay
seconds and proceeds anyway. The delay allows mail sending
process to catch up and access the disk while not blocking
inbound mail. Valid delays are 0..10 seconds.
20010727
Bugfix: updated LDAP client module from LaMont Jones, HP.
This also introduces new LDAP query filter patterns: %u
(address localpart) and %d (domain part). Files:
conf/sample-ldap.cf, util/dict_ldap.c.
20010729
Bugfix: recursive smtpd_whatever_restrictions clobbered
intermediate results when switching between sender and
recipient address restrictions. Problem found by Victor
Duchovni, morganstanley.com. In order to fix, introduced
address resolver result caching, which should also help to
speed up sender/recipient address restriction processing.
Bugfix: the not yet announced DUNNO access table lookup
result did not prevent lookups with substrings of the same
lookup key. Found by Victor Duchovni, morganstanley.com.
20010730
Robustness: trim trailing whitespace from regexp and pcre
right-hand sides, for consistency with DB/DBM tables.
Files: util/dict_pcre.c, util/dict_regexp.c.
20010731
Robustness: eliminate duplicate IP addresses after expansion
of hostnames in $inet_interfaces, so that Postfix does not
suddenly refuse to start up after someone changes the DNS.
Files: util/inet_addr_list.c global/own_inet_addr.c.
Feature: specify "disable_verp_bounces = yes" to have
Postfix send one RFC-standard, non-VERP, bounce report for
multi-recipient mail, even when VERP style delivery was
requested.
20010801
Bugfix: postconf was using unexpanded values internally
for myhostname, inet_interfaces, and mynetworks_style.
This broke the "postconf -d" mynetworks computation. File:
postconf/postconf.c.
20010803
Feature: masquerade_classes parameter for fine control of
address masquerading. The default setting is backwards
compatible: envelope_sender header_sender header_recipient.
Files: cleanup/whatever.c.
20010822
Code cleanup: the bounce daemon complained about data that
it was not going to send back anyway. Fix: stop reading
the original message when the bounce message reaches the
bounce message size limit. File: bounce/bounce_notify_util.c.
20010826
Logging: postsuper now logs the queue ID when it requeues
a message, or when it deletes a message from the mail queue.
File: postsuper/postsuper.c.
20010830
Safety: the SMTP server now sends a 4xx (try again later)
response when an UCE restriction is misconfigured, instead
of ignoring the bad restriction and possibly accepting mail
that it should not accept. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20010907
Workaround: the Postfix qmqp-source program produced mail
not ending in newline. qmail-qmqpd accepts such mail, but
qmail-remote is unable to deliver it. Matthias Andree,
uni-dortmund.de. File: smtpstone/qmqp-source.c.
20010910
Bugfix: the smtp-sink stress test program broke when RCPT
TO commands crossed network packet boundaries. Problem
reported by Matthias Andree, uni-dortmund.de. File:
smtpstone/smtp-sink.c.
20010917
Code cleanup: permit_mx_backup implements the old behavior
(accept mail if the local MTA is MX relay), and allows an
additional restriction via the permit_mx_backup_networks
parameter (accept mail only if the primary MX hosts match
the specified list of network blocks). This second restriction
is now entirely optional, for backwards compatibility.
Bugfix: an address extension could be appended multiple
times to the result of a canonical or virtual map lookup.
File: global/mail_addr_map.c. Fix by Victor Duchovni,
Morgan Stanley.
Bugfix: split_addr() would split an address even when there
was no data before the recipient delimiter. In combination
with the above bug, this could cause an address to grow
exponentially in size. Problem reported by Victor Duchovni,
Morgan Stanley. File: global/split_addr.c.
20010918
Bugfix: the mail_addr_map() fix was almost but not quite
right. It took two clever people and several iterations of
email to really fix the mail_addr_map() problem. Thanks
to Victor Duchovni and Liviu Daia.
20011006
Cleanup: Postfix no longer flushes the whole deferred queue
after an ETRN request for a random domain name (i.e. a
domain name not matched by $fast_flush_domains); the SMTP
server instead replies with "459 service unavailable".
Files: smtpd/smtpd.c, global/flush_clnt.c, flush/flush.c.
20011008
Bugfix: there was a minute memory leak when an smtpd access
restriction was misconfigured. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20011010
Code cleanup: Postfix daemons now print the name of the
UNIX-domain socket (instead of "unknown stream") in case
of a malformed client request. Files: master/*server.c.
20011010-14
Code cleanup: replaced the ugly mail_print() and mail-scan()
protocols by (name,value) attribute lists. This gives better
error detection when we make changes to internal protocols,
and allows new attributes to be introduced without breaking
everything immediately. Files: util/attr_print.c util/attr_scan.c
global/mail_command_server.c global/mail_command_client.c
as wel as most Postfix applications and daemons.
20011015
Put base 64 encoding into place on the replaced internal
protocols. Files: util/base64_code.[hc].
Feature: header/body REJECT rules can now provide text that
is sent to the originator. Files: cleanup/cleanup.c,
cleanup/cleanup_message.c, conf/sample-filter.cf.
20011016
Bugfix: As of 20000625, Errors-To: was broken, because the
code to extract the address was not moved from recipient
address rewriting to sender address rewriting. Problem
reported by Roelof Osinga @ nisser.com. File:
cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
20011029
Bugfix: virtual map expansion terminated early because the
detection of self-referential entries was flawed. File:
cleanup/cleanup_map1n.c.
20011031
Bugfix: mail_date() mis-formatted negative time zone offsets
with fractional hours (-03-30 instead of -0330). Fix by
Chad House, greyfirst.ca. File: global/mail_date.c.
20011102
Feature: new -f option to postmap and postalias (do not
lowercase the lookup key while creating a table). Files:
util/dict.h postmap/postmap.c postalias/postalias.c.
Code cleanup: simplified the attribute print/scan routines,
and removed the never-used support for sending and receiving
integer arrays and string arrays. Files: util/attr_print.c,
util/attr_scan.c.
Bugfix: qmqpd could read past the end of a string while
looking for qmail's VERP magic token in the envelope sender
address. File: qmqpd/qmqpd.c.
Code cleanup: finished testing the new internal protocols.
The only bug was with the flush server, which still needs
to support the old (string + null byte) protocol for triggers
from the Postfix master daemon.
20011103
Bugfix: Postfix would log the wrong error text when locally
submitted mail was deferred due to "soft_bounce = yes".
Bugfix: The LDAP client dropped any entries that don't have
the result_attribute, but errored out when a DN didn't
exist. The behavior is now consistent: treat non-existant
DN's in a special result attribute expansion the same as
DN's with no attribute. LaMont Jones, HP.
20011104
Bugfix: the new smtp-sink -n option (terminate after the
specified number of deliveries) wasn't optional.
Portability: updated Mac OS X documentation and install
scripts by Gerben Wierda.
20011105
Bugfix: missing terminator in new attribute-based function
call caused signal 11. File: src/cleanup/cleanup.c.
Lame workaround for ESTALE errors with mail delivery over
NFS. Additional bandages were added to the local delivery
agent. However, Wietse maintains that Postfix offers no
guarantee for reliable delivery over NFS.
Feature: put "warn_if_reject" before an smtpd restriction,
and that restriction logs warnings without rejecting mail.
This makes it easier to test configurations "live" without
having to lose mail. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20011107
Workaround: in order to get mail past PIX firewall bugs,
the Postfix SMTP client now blocks until the socket send
buffer is empty before sending the final ".<CR><LF>". Files:
util/sock_empty_wait.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c. Changed into
sleep(10) on 20011119. Sleep suggested by Hobbit.
20011108
Feature: added string-null encoding for internal protocols.
Files: util/attr_print0.c, util/attr_scan0.c.
Feature: configurable parent domain matching for domain
and hostname/address match lists: either .domain or the
domain name itself. Files: util/match_ops.c util/match_list.c
Feature: added pretend-to-be-behind-PIX mode to the smtp-sink
test program, in order to stress test some PIX bug workaround
code.
20011109
Workaround: Linux and Solaris systems have no reasonable
way to block until a socket drains. On these systems Postfix
simply waits for 10 seconds, in order to work around PIX
".<CR><LF>" bugs. File: util/sock_empty_wait.c.
20011114
Bugfix: reset the smtpd command transaction log between
deliveries. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20011115
Feature: mailbox_command_maps no longer requires that every
user has an entry. If the user does not have a command
entry, the local delivery agent tries the other delivery
methods (mailbox_command, home_mailbox). File: local/mailbox.c.
Bugfix: reset the smtpd command transaction log between
non-deliveries. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20011116
Bugfix: consolidated all the command transaction log resets
and eliminated one missing reset (Victor Duchovni, Morgan
Stanley). File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20011118
Cleanup: replaced unnecessary match_list wrapper code by
macros. Files: global/{string,domain,namadr}_list.[hc].
20011119
Feature: configurable parent domain matching strategy for
transport map lookups. File: trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
New parent_domain_matches_subdomains parameter. This lists
all the Postfix features where a domain name matches itself
and all its subdomains (instead of requiring ".domain.name"
for subdomain matches). Planning for future backwards
compatibility :-) File: global/match_parent_style.c.
Workaround: simplified the PIX ".<CR><LF>" bug to always
sleep for 10 seconds. File: smtp/smtp_proto.c.
20011120
Workaround: disable attribute string length restriction so
that trivial-rewrite does not refuse to rewrite broken mail
headers. Files: util/attr_scan*.c.
20011121
Bugfix: missing long integer support in the new IPC protocols.
Files: util/attr_scan*.c, util/attr_print*.c.
Portability: AIX5 (Adrian P. van Bloois), MAC OS X 10.1.1
(Gerben Wierda).
20011125
Bugfix: spurious postmaster notifications because some flag
was not reset.
Feature: new parameter smtpd_sender_login_maps that specifies
the (SASL) login name that owns a MAIL FROM address.
Specify a regexp table in order to require a simple one-to-one
mapping. This is used in the reject_sender_login_mismatch
sender anti-spoofing feature.
Feature: restriction reject_sender_login_mismatch refuses
a MAIL FROM address when $smtpd_sender_login_maps specifies
an owner but the client is not (SASL) logged in as the MAIL
FROM address owner, or when a client is (SASL) logged in
but the client login name does not own the MAIL FROM address
according to $smtpd_sender_login_maps. File: smtpd/smpd_check.c.
Documentation: added some redundancy to the LMTP_README
file so people can keep track of the difference between
the Postfix LMTP client and the non-Postfix LMTP server.
20011126
Feature: smtpd_noop_commands specifies a list of commands
that are treated as NOOP (no operation) commands, without
syntax check or state change. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
Bugfix: the "mark queue file as corrupt" code did not work
because it was never used. Files: global/mark_corrupt.c,
global/mail_copy.c, global/pipe_command.c, *qmgr/qmgr_active.c,
local/maildir.c, local/mailbox.c, local/command.c, pipe/pipe.c,
virtual/mailbox.c, virtual/maildir.c.
Bugfix: the bounce daemon broke in the unlikely case of a
non-existing queue file. File: bounce/bounce_notify_util.c.
20011127
Feature: added WARN command to header/body_checks files as
proposed by Michael Tokarev. File: cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
Bugfix: the postdrop program was broken after the change
of Postfix internal protocols. This broke "sendmail -bs"
mail submissions with "secure" maildrop directory. Reported
by Craig Loomis, apo.nmsu.edu. File: postdrop/postdrop.c.
Feature: a first start at fault injection for testing
unlikely error scenarios (such as corrupt queue files).
Parameter: fault_injection_code, must be left at zero for
production use.
20011128
Robustness: add a file size limit to the sendmail and
postdrop submission programs to stop run-away process
accidents. This is not a defense against DOS attack.
Files: sendmail/sendmail.c, postdrop/postdrop.c.
That resulted in a considerable amount of work to properly
propagate "file too large" conditions back to the sendmail
mail posting user interface. Took the opportunity to express
other mail submission fatal exits with the <sysexits.h>
exit status codes. Files: sendmail/sendmail.c,
postdrop/postdrop.c.
20011129
Maintenance: dict_ldap.c wasn't updated after the revision
of the string matching routines. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
20011208
Maintenance: LDAP module and documentation from LaMont
Jones. This version adds verbose logging for LDAP library
routines. Files: src/util/dict_ldap.[hc], LDAP_README,
conf/sample-ldap.cf
Portability: made memory alignment restrictions configurable.
File: util/mymalloc.c.
Bugfix? Avoid surprises with source routed destinations
and OK entries in SMTPD access maps. File: smtpd/smtpd_access.c.
Security: "postfix check" looks for damage by well-intended
but misguided use of "chown -R postfix /var/spool/postfix".
That would make chrooted Postfix less secure than non-chrooted
Postfix. These extra tests may cause complaints with
third-party patches such as TLS that introduce their own
files into the jail.
Feature: static map type that always returns the map name
as lookup value, regardless of lookup key value. Contributed
Jeff Miller (jeffm at ghostgun.com)
Feature: turn off the PIX <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> workaround for
the first mail delivery attempt, i.e. when mail is queued
for less than $smtp_pix_workaround_threshold_time (default:
500) seconds. New parameter $smtp_pix_workaround_delay_time
to control the delay before sending .<CR><LF> (default: 10
seconds) when doing the PIX <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> workaround.
20011210
Bugfix: the 20011128 change in sendmail and postdrop did
not handle the case of message_size_limit=0. Fix by Will
Day, Georgia Tech.
20011212
Compatibility: The SMTP server now accepts <CR><CR><LF> as
if the client sent <CR><LF>. Reportedly, some badly written
windows software produces such garbage, and some badly
written windows anti-VIRUS software cannot handle such
garbage. File: global/smtp_stream.c.
20011214
Bugfix: postmap/postalias queries ignored the -f flag.
Reported by Hamish Marson.
20011217
Compatibility: Sendmail now has a -L option to set the
syslogging label. Postfix sendmail uses syslog_name instead,
and ignores the -L option.
Security: subtle hardening of the Postfix chroot jail,
Postfix queue file permissions and access methods, in case
someone compromises the postfix account. Michael Tokarev,
who received the insights from Solar Designer, who tested
Postfix with a kernel module that is paranoid about open()
calls. Files: master/master_wakeup.c, util/fifo_trigger.c,
postfix-script.
Convenience: issue a warning instead of aborting when the
local machine name is not in fully-qualified domain form.
This would otherwise break initial postfix installation
which needs the postconf command. File: global/mail_params.c.
20011220
Added more garbage detection to postconf -e input processing.
20011221
Feature: SMTPD access map lookups of null sender addresses.
If your access maps cannot store or look up null string
key values, specify "smtpd_null_access_lookup_key = <>"
and the null sender address will be looked up as <> instead.
File: src/smtpd_access.c.
20011223
Safety: configuration file comments no longer span multiple
lines when the next line begins with whitespace; multi-line
input is no longer terminated by a comment line, by an all
white space line, or by an empty line. Michael Tokarev made
the crucial suggestion to simplify the readline routine.
Files: util/readlline.c, postconf/postconf.c.
Cleanup: proper detection of big number overflow in EHLO
and MAIL FROM size announcements, with input from Victor
Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. Files: global/off_cvt.c,
smtpd/smtpd.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c, util/alldig.c.
Forward compatibility: added queue file record types for
original recipient and for generic named attributes.
Cleanup: safe_open() now returns sensible errno values so
that the fifo_trigger() external interface is restored.
20011225
Upgrade: PCRE_README now describes PCRE version 3.x.
Cleanup: flush SMTPD command history upon receipt of EHLO,
RSET, and upon DATA completion, only if it exceeds
$smtpd_history_flush_threshold lines (default: 100).
Distant derivative of code by Michael Tokarev. File:
smtpd/smtpd.c.
20011228
Bugfix: a readlline() error message showed less text than
intended. Christian von Roques.
Cleanup: postfix now installs with group-writable maildrop
directory and with a set-gid postdrop mail submission
command. The pickup service is now unprivileged. The
world-writable maildrop directory no longer exists.
The cleanup service is now public, in preparation for local
sendmail/postdrop mail submission that avoids the maildrop
queue directory while Postfix is up.
Cleanup: moved the main.cf/master.cf file editing from the
postfix-script file to the INSTALL.sh file.
Cleanup: INSTALL.sh no longer accepts "no" as the destination
of Postfix manual pages.
20011230
Cleanup: the code for "mailq", "sendmail -q", and for
"sendmail -qRsite" was moved from the sendmail command to
a new set-gid postqueue command. The pickup and qmgr FIFOs
are no longer world writable. Files: sendmail/sendmail.c,
postqueue/postqueue.c.
20020101
Security: new alternate_config_directories parameter that
specifies what directories a set-gid command will accept
as its configuration directory. The list must be specified
in the default main.cf file. File: global/mail_conf.c.
Cleanup: "sendmail -qRsite" is no longer implemented by
connecting to the SMTP port. It is now implemented by
talking to the fast flush service. File: postqueue/postqueue.c.
20020203
Cleanup: INSTALL.sh now records all installation information
in the main.cf file. The now obsolete install.cf file is
used only when upgrading from an older Postfix release.
Cleanup: INSTALL.sh now takes name=value settings on the
command line, and has a new "-upgrade" command line option
to turn on non-interactive installation.
Security: additional run-time checks to discourage sharing
of Postfix user/group ID values with other accounts.

Cleanup: SMTPD access maps now return DUNNO (undetermined)
instead of OK when a recipient address contains multiple
domains (user@dom1@dom2, etcetera). Victor Duchovni, Morgan
Stanley. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20020106
Bugfix: SMTPD access maps did not handle address extensions.
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.

Bugfix: postfix-script, when creating a missing maildrop
queue directory, still referenced install.cf when setting
maildrop directory group ownership; and the postfix command
did not export the setgid_group parameter to the postfix-script
shell script. Victor Duchovni.
Bugfix: postfix-script, when creating a missing public
queue directory, did not set group ownership of the public
directory.
20020109
Cleanup: rewrote the Postfix installation procedure again.
It is now separated into 1) a primary installation script
(postfix-install) that installs files locally or that builds
a package for distribution and that stores file owner and
permission information in /etc/postfix/post-files, and 2)
a post-installation script (/etc/postfix/post-install) that
creates missing directories, that sets file/directory
ownership and permissions, and that upgrades existing
configuration files if necessary.

Workaround: AIX null read() return on an empty but open
non-blocking pipe. File: master/master_flow.c. Report:
Hamish Marson.

Feedback: feedback, bugfixes, and brain-dead shell workarounds
for the install scripts by Victor Duchovni and Simon Mudd.
20020113
Rewrote postfix-install. The postfix-files file now controls
what is installed. Refined the semantics of many post-install
operations. post-install now auto-saves settings that
override main.cf.
20020114
Bugfix: alternate_config_directories did not take comma
or whitespace as separators. File: global/mail_conf.c.
Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley.
Bugfix: the rewritten postfix-install script did not chattr
+S the Postfix queue.
20020115
Cleanup: added sample_directory and readme_directory
installation parameters for sample configuration files and
for README files. Files: postconf.c, postfix-install,
conf/postfix-files, conf/post-install.
Robustness: the postfix command now exports all installation
parameter settings, and input filters the environment, so
that the startup shell scripts produce a consistent result.
Files: postconf.c.
20020117
Portability: patch from LaMont Jones for compiling dict_ldap.c
with the Netscape SDK.
Feature: added "r" (recursive chown/chgrp) flag to the
postfix-files database, for more convenient change of
Postfix queue ownership. Files: conf/postfix-files,
conf/post-install.

Documentation: lots of little fixes.
Documentation: updates for the VIRTUAL_README file by Victor
Duchovni, Morgan Stanley.
Bugfix: postqueue -s dereferenced a null pointer when given
a numerical domain argument. LaMont Jones, HP.
Cleanup: smtpd now logs a warning when permit_sasl_authenticated
