Cleanup. Renamed the RBL features according to a scheme
that was suggested by Liviu Daia in October 2001. The
names are reject_rbl_client and reject_rhsbl_sender,
respectively. Added domain name based reject_rhsbl_client
and reject_rhsbl_recipient restrictions for completeness.
The reject_rbl restriction name is still recognized for
compatibility with systems maintained by LaMont Jones.
20020924
Bugfix: reject_rhsbl_<mumble> was broken when <mumble> was
unavailable, causing the restrictions parser to get out if
sync. Spotted by Ralf Hildebrandt. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20020928
Bugfix: missing %s in the 20020923 RBL code. This was not
exploitable because Postfix implements only a safe subset
of all printf format operators and because memory for the
result is dynamically allocated. Victor Duchovni. File:
smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20020929
Updated MacOSX support scripts from Gerben Wierda. Files:
auxiliary/MacOSX/*.
20021009
Bugfix: SIZE errors should be reported at MAIL FROM time,
and should not be postponed (with smtpd_delay_reject = yes)
until RCPT TO time. Reported by Jeroen Scheerder, Utrecht
University. Files: smtpd/smtpd.c smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20021013
When Postfix development started, Linux mail delivery
software such as procmail did not use kernel locks, and
Postfix picked one that seemed plausible, namely, flock().
In the mean time, Linux mail delivery software seems to
have standardized on fcntl() locks. File: util/sys_defs.h.
Feature: body_checks_size_limit parameter to specify how much
of a message body segment (or attachment, if you prefer to
use that term) is subjected to body_checks inspection.
Default limit: 50 kbytes. Files: global/mime_state.c,
cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
20021015
Bugfix: the code for missing postmaster/mailer-daemon
aliases had to be moved after the code that implements the
luser_relay feature. Files: local/alias.c, local/unknown.c.
Weird? The LMTP client lowercased the MAIL FROM and RCPT
TO addresses. Some remnant of code that someone put in
there long ago. File: lmtp/lmtp_proto.c.
20021024
Feature: proxy_interfaces parameter. Specify your NAT or
other proxy addresses here to avoid mail delivery loops.
Files: global/mail_params.[hc] global/own_inet_addr.[hc]
global/resolve_local.c smtp/smtp_addr.c smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Paranoia: defend against a very unlikely false alarm in
safe_open().
20021025
Feature: X-Original-To: message headers with the raw original
envelope recipient.
Logging: status=sent/deferred/bounced/ logging now includes
the original recipient address if it differs from the final
address.
20021026
Logging: SMTP UCE reject/warn/hold/discard logging now
includes queue ID. This will break some logfile analyzers.
Logging: SMTP UCE reject/warn/hold/discard logging now
includes the protocol name and, if available, the hostname
given in the SMTP HELO or EHLO command.
Logging: header/body_checks reject/warn/hold/discard logging
now includes the protocol name and, if available, the
hostname given in the SMTP HELO or EHLO command.
20021028
Bugfix: don't reset state after rejected EHLO. Reset state
after HELO. Reported by Karthikeyan Bhargavan, upenn.edu.
Files: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20021029
Bugfix: local(8) did not prepend an X-Original-To: message
header while delivering to command, and local(8) did not
document the X-Original-To: message header.
Workaround: DJBDNS produces a bogus A record when given a
numerical hostname. File: dns/dns_lookup.c.
20021030
Portability: support for Berkeley DB version 4.0 but not
for Berkeley DB version 4.1 (yes, the API is different).
Postfix is now going to be paranoid about the minor version
number, too. File: util/dict_db.c.
Documentation: updated LMTP_README file by Amos Gouaux.
20021031
Bugfix: (bug introduced 20021026) log NOQUEUE when rejecting
ETRN, instead of trying to log a non-existent queue ID.
Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Cleanup: allow optional text after commands in SMTPD access
maps. Based on initial effort by Victor Duchovni, Morgan
Stanley. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Portability: support for Berkeley DB version 4.1. This
version refuses to open zero-length files. This complicates
lock management and requires extra code to remove broken
files. Files: util/dict_db.c, global/mkmap*.[hc].
20021101
Bugfix: don't complain about out-of-order original recipient
records for finished recipients. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c,
cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c, cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c.
Cleanup: further simplified the mkmap wrapper (used by
postmap and postalias only) to remove some hurdles for
Michael Tokarev's CDB support. Files: global/mkmap*.[hc].
20021105
Postalias now produces YP_LAST_MODIFIED and YP_MASTER_NAME
records only when NIS support is compiled in. File:
postalias.c.
20021106
Postalias now puts $myhostname in the YP_MASTER_NAME record,
instead of the possibly bogus gethostname() result. File:
postalias.c.
The PCRE map code did not reject non-numeric replacement
indices in replacement text, and silently treated $text as
$0. Found by Michael Tokarev. File: dict_pcre.c.
20021108
Cleanup: the behavior of the SMTP server's defer_if_permit
flag was changed, in order to maximize the opportunity to
permanently reject mail without opening opportunities for
losing legitimate mail. This was done in cooperation with
Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
The defer_if_permit flag is still set when an UCE reject
restriction fails due to a temporary (e.g., DNS) problem,
to prevent unwanted mail from slipping through. However,
the flag is no longer tested at the end of client, helo or
sender restrictions. Instead, the flag is now tested at
the end of the ETRN and recipient restrictions only.
The behavior of the warn_if_reject restriction has changed.
It no longer activates any already made defer_if_permit or
defer_if_reject decisions (the defer_if_reject flag is set
when some UCE permit restriction fails due to a temporary
(DNS) problem, to avoid loss of legitimate mail).
Bugfix: instead of setting the defer_if_permit flag, a
failing reject restriction after warn_if_reject now merely
logs that it would have caused mail to be deferred.
A failing permit restriction after warn_if_reject still
raises the defer_if_reject flag, to avoid loss of legitimate
mail.
20021109
Bugfix: a misguided change to the .forward macro expansion
filter broke .forward file lookup.
Bugfix: missing defer_if_permit test in smtpd_data_restrictions.
Victor Duchovni. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20021112
Robustness: increase the mime_nesting_limit from 20 to 100,
so that bounces can't loop. Each bounces increases the MIME
nesting level by one. Ralf Hildebrandt and Victor Duchovni.
20021113
Robustness: reinstated SMTP client command flushing to
avoid pipeline stalls. File: smtp/smtp_chat.c.
20021114
Robustness: distinguish between timeout and "lost connection"
when the SMTP server is unable to send a reply to the remote
client. File: smtpd/smtpd_chat.c.
20021115
Bugfix: initialization error with "*" transport table
lookup, reported by LaMont Jones. The transport map lookup
code had grown into a monster and needed to be replaced.
trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
20021121
Bugfix: garbage in "user@garbage"@domain address forms may
cause the SMTP or LMTP client to terminate with a fatal
error exit because garbage/tcp is not an existing service.
This cannot be abused to cause the SMTP or LMTP client to
send data into unauthorized ports. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c,
trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.

20021128
Feature: hashed hold queue support, with hashing turned on
by default. Omission spotted by Victor Duchovni, Morgan
Stanley. Files: global/hold_message.c, global/mail_params.h.
Bugfix: the LMTP client lost the port(service) information
when parsing host:port information. Victor Duchovni, Morgan
Stanley. Fix is to have a new host_port(3) module that does
the parsing for the SMTP and LMTP clients.
Cleanup: host_port() routine that parses host/port information
more consistently than the existing code in the LMTP and
SMTP clients. Files: smtp/smtp_connect.c, lmtp/lmtp_connect.c,
util/host_port.[hc].
20021201
Compatibility: ignore the new Sendmail -A option. File:
sendmail/sendmail.c.
Workaround: sendmail -v now produces no output. You need
to specify -v -v instead. This is to avoid problems when
people request verbose mail delivery in their mail.rc file.
File: sendmail/sendmail.c.
20021202
Cleanup: hash_queue_depth now defaults to 1 level of
subdirectories. This makes "mailq" faster on most systems,
but will result in poorer worst-case performance when lots
of mail is queued.
The check_relay_domains restriction is going away. The SMTP
server logs a warning and suggests using reject_unauth_destination
instead.
Cleanup: the local(8) and virtual(8) delivery agents did
not prepend X-Original-To: addresses to maildir files.
Omission spotted by Matthias Andree.
Bugfix: too many levels of dereferencing while testing for
missing reject_rbl_mumble domain names. Patrik Rak. File:
smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20021203
Bugfix: the FILTER access table action included the FILTER
command in the filter request, where only the transport+destination
were expected. Noel Jones. File smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Cleanup: virtual_maps is now called virtual_alias_maps, in
order to better distinguish it from virtual_mailbox_maps.
The default value is $virtual_maps for backwards compatibility.
New parameters virtual_alias_domains and virtual_mailbox_domains
for the "domain.tld whatever" lookups. These use the same
syntax as the mydestination parameter. Default settings
are backwards compatible with Postfix 1.1.
Concept: just like $mydestination+$inet_interfaces control
what routes to $local_transport, $virtual_mailbox_domains
now controls what routes to $virtual_transport (default
transport: virtual), and $relay_domains now controls what
routes to $relay_transport (default transport: relay, a
clone of the smtp transport). Everything else routes to
$default_transport as before. This eliminates the need
for transport map entries for every virtual(8) domain, and
avoids performance problems with inbound relay mail. This
was improvement was suggested by Victor Duchovni. File:
trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
20021206
Cleanup: do allow regexps in aliases, virtual mailbox maps
but do not allow regular expression substitutions. Files:
util/dict.h, util/dict_regexp.c, util/dict_pcre.c.
20021207
Cleanup: deleted the description of sendmail-style virtual
domains from the virtual(5) manual page. This part of
Postfix was too confusing.
Performance: RFC 2821 blesses the use of CNAME domain names
in MAIL FROM and RCPT TO. Not having to expand CNAME domain
names speeds things up a bit. File: smtp/smtp_proto.c.
Workaround: exclude error mailer destinations from transport
mapping lookups :-(. File: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
Cleanup: relocated_maps lookups are now moved to the
trivial-rewrite server. As of now, the queue manager no
longer does any map lookups, so it won't restart when maps
change. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c, trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
Robustness: because the trivial-rewrite server now does
many more table lookups, some of which are often LDAP or
SQL based, trivial-rewrite clients must be be prepared for
the case that the resolver reports a failure while processing
a request (when it was unable to access a lookup table).
Files: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c, local/resolve.c,
smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Robustness: moving possible LDAP or SQL table lookups into
the trivial-rewrite server also required that trivial-rewrite
be running as multiple processes to reduce lookup latencies.
Files: master/multi-server.c.
Workaround: don't discard all the DNS lookup results when
only one of the results has a malformed name or address.
File: dns/dns_lookup.c.
20021208
Cleanup: with the preliminary address domain classification
concept as implemented by the trivial-rewrite address
resolver, a lot of table lookups could be eliminated from
the SMTP server. Files: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Feature: new relay_recipient_maps parameter, for optional
maps with all the recipients in the domains that match
$relay_domains (so you can reject mail for unknown relay
recipients). This is for consistency with virtual_xx_maps
and virtual_xx_domains, and with local_recipient_maps and
the local delivery agent. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Cleanup: removed support for obsolete #number domain forms.
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20021209
The Postfix installation procedure no longer sets the
"chattr +S" bit on Linux queue directories. Wietse has
gotten too annoyed with naive reviewers who complain about
performance without having a clue of what they are comparing.
"Security": local_recipient_maps is now turned on by default,
to reject mail for non-existent users at the SMTP port.
See conf/main.cf for instructions, section REJECTING UNKNOWN
LOCAL USERS.
Safety: detection of missing or inaccessible passwd file
database, to prevent massive complaints from people who
suddenly lose all their mail because local_recipient_maps
is now turned on by default.
20021211
Performance: doubled the default process limit (50->100)
and default queue manager active queue message/recipient
limits (10k->20k). File: global/mail_params.h.
20021212
Cleanup: allow transport map lookups to override error
mailer results (to avoid breaking existing installations),
and do transport map lookups before relocated map lookups.
Files: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c, trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
Admin friendliness: the SMTP server now reports "User
unknown in {local recipient | virtual alias | virtual
mailbox | relay recipient} table". This will make trouble
shooting a little easier. Files: smtpd/smtpd_check.c,
trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
20021213
Cleanup: transport map entries with null nexthop ignored
relayhost settings. Making the code simpler also made it
more correct. Files: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c,
trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
Feature: "helpful_warnings" (default: yes) that can be
turned off if you really know what you're doing and want
to eliminate some unnecessary work.
Feature: enforcement of master.cf process limits for
processes such as qmgr and pickup that must run alone, and
processes such as cleanup and bounce that must run without
explicit process count limit. If an incorrect process limit
is specified in master.cf the service aborts.
20021214
Cleanup: it looks like we finally get it right with transport
lookup table entries that either override or specify an
error transport without updating the nexthop information.
File: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
Performance: don't do UCE checks (which may result in 4xx
SMTP reply codes, and thus, repeated delivery attempts)
when we already know that the recipient does not exist.
Files: smtpd/smtpd.c, smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20021215
Cleanup: further simplification of transport map handling
after some really fine hair splitting with Victor Duchovni.
Files: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c, trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
20021216
Workaround: transform the address local-part into unquoted
form only when the address domain is local and the local-part
contains routing operators. Otherwise, we may damage the
address local-part by inserting space between non-operator
tokens. Some people use weird addresses and expect them to
be handled without damage. File: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
Robustness: scan the resolved recipient address for routing
operators in the address local-part, even when the local
MTA does not recognize ! and % as valid operators. File:
trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
Cleanup: the address rewriting code no longer tries to
rewrite broken user@ or user@. address forms into even more
broken forms. bother. File: trivial-rewrite/rewrite.c.
Cleanup: the address resolver code now treates forms ending
in @ in a more rational manner (because the address rewriting
code no longer messes up by appending .my.domain).
Bugfix: a null address local-part before @domain now is
properly quoted just like the null address. File:
global/quote_82[12]_local.c.
20021217
Cleanup: more work on the trivial-rewrite address rewriting
and address resolving code. New regression tests for address
rewriting and resolving that make some assumptions about
main.cf settings. Files: global/Makefile.in (assumptions),
global/rewrite_clnt.in, global/rewrite_clnt.ref,
global/resolve_clnt.in, global/resolve_clnt.ref.
Safety: configurable SMTPD reject codes for recipients not
in {local,relay}_recipient,virtual_{alias,mailbox}}_maps,
aptly named unknown_mumble_reject_code. Postfix installs
with unknown_local_recipient_reject_code=450, unless the
site already ran Postfix with local_recipient_maps enabled.
Files: smtpd/smtpd.c, smtpd/smtpd_check.c, conf/post-install.
20021219
Bugfix: longjmp() while sending "go away" without setjmp()
in the QMQP server. Patrik Rak. File: qmqpd/qmqpd.c.
Safety: the XVERP extension is restricted to clients listed
in the authorized_verp_clients list (default: $mynetworks).
File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
Workaround: preliminary IPV6 support in valid_hostliteral().
File: util/valid_hostname.c.
20021220
Feature: new check_recipient_maps restriction that gives
finer control over when unknown recipients are rejected.
As with Postfix 1.1, the default is to do this at the end
of the recipient restrictions. Sites that want to improve
performance can put check_recipient_maps at the start of
the smtpd_client_restrictions list and avoid doing unnecessary
RBL lookups etc. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Feature: new show_user_unknown_recipient_table parameter
controls whether or not to reveal the lookup table name in
"User unknown" responses. The extra detail makes trouble
shooting easier but also reveals information that is nobody
elses business.
20021221
Workaround: don't allow the transport map to override the
virtual alias class (error:User unknown) result. File:
trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
20030101
Documentation update: new-style virtual domains broke the
advanced content filtering example. Files: FILTER_README,
RELEASE_NOTES.
20030104
Cleanup: avoid warnings about flag mismatches when the same
lookup table is listed under both virtual_alias_maps and
virtual_mailbox_maps. Files: global/virtual8.h, virtual/virtual.c.
Bugfix: an obscure memory leak that puzzled me for more
than a year until I found out how to reproduce it. File:
util/vstream.c.
20030106
Robustness: the master no longer aborts with "address
already in use" when inet_interfaces specifies the same IP
address multiple times, or when a TCP service in master.cf
specifies a hostname for which the same IP address is listed
multiple times. File: master/master_ent.c.
20030107
Robustness: check that FILTER actions in SMTPD access maps
or cleanup header/body_checks have plausible syntax. Files:
smtpd/smtpd_check.c, cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
20030110
Cleanup: the virtual_mailbox_maps parameter is now optional
even when virtual_mailbox_domains is specified. This makes
virtual mailbox domains more like relay domains and the
local domain.
Portability: the makedefs script now uses the pcre-config
utility to find out where things are installed.
Bugfix: the SMTP server did not recognize the local built-in
double bounce address as local. Reported by Matthias Andree.
For safety sake, threw in the local postmaster address as
well. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20030113
Added MAILER-DAEMON to the list of always recognized local
addresses, since it is generated by Postfix bounces. File:
smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20030114
Bugfix: transport_errno was not reset upon successful
transport map wildcard lookup after an earlier failure.
Reported by Victor Duchovni. File: trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
Cleanup: unnecessary warnings from the proxymap client
after proxymap server disconnect. File: global/dict_proxy.c.
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.
Matthias Andree. File: makedefs.
Bugfix: the virtual(8) Makefile included $(AUXLIBS) in the
dependencies.
20030115
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. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20030118
Typos: some hyperlinks referred to flushd, which is the
name that was used before the flush service was released.
Reported by Victor Duchovni.
Cleanup: smtpd no longer needed to open relocated_maps.
20030119
Cleanup: bounce messages used "X-Postfix" even when mail_name
was set to something other than the default "Postfix" name.
File: bounce/bounce-notify_util.c.
20030120
Bugfix: wrong FILTER_README instructions for disabling
virtual alias mapping in the cleanup server before the
content filter.
Bugfix: wrong FILTER_README instructions for destination-dependent
filtering, because relay_domains was specified incorrectly.
20030122
Bugfix: 20021207 (move relocated table lookup from queue
manager to trivial-rewrite server) broke relocated table
lookup results with mail not rejected at the SMTP port.
Files: *qmgr/qmgr_deliver.c, *qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
20030123
Bugfix: a widely used maildir filename algorithm was broken.
Postfix now uses TIME.DEVICE_INODE.HOST. Files: local/maildir.c,
virtual/maildir.c.
20030124
Cleanup: removed the address syntax check from the queue
manager, since a better test was implemented recently in
the trivial-rewrite server. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
20030126
Update: maildir filename algorithm updated according to
today's version of http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html.
20030127
Cleanup: use separate error messages for separate problems
with computing the list of SASL authentication mechanisms.
File: smtpd/smtpd_sasl_glue.c.
20030130
Bugfix: allow $name in default time values. File:
global/mail_conf_time.c.
20030219
Bugfix: the local pickup daemon skipped unterminated records,
since they happened to have the same record type code as
content filtering instructions. Victor Duchovni. Files:
global/rec_type.h, pickup/pickup.c.

Portability: Postfix could block, and thus not enforce
command execution time limits, while delivering mail to
command. File: global/pipe_command.c.
Bugfix: command execution time limits were not enforced
because the child process killing code in pipe_command()
was running with the wrong privileges. Problem reported by
Ben Rosengart, Panix. File: global/pipe_command.c.
Bugfix: duplicate recipient filtering in the cleanup server
did not eliminate virtual expansion duplicates with the
same original recipient. File: cleanup/cleanup_out_recipient.c.
20030223
Bugfix: smtpd_hard/soft_error_limit off-by-one error, so
that the real limit was one larger than the specified value.
File: smtpd/smtpd.c, smtpd/smtpd_chat.c.
20030226
Safety: proxymap server defense against potential deadlock
when some library routine wants to open a proxied table.
Instead, proxymap opens the requested table directly. File:
proxymap/proxymap.c.
20030227
Bugfix: added mynetworks to the list of proxy_read_maps
parameter settings that are pre-authorized to use proxied
table lookups. File: global/mail_params.h.
20030305
Workaround: Postfix removes too long non-address text from
message headers in order to protect vulnerable Sendmail
systems against exploitation of the remote buffer overflow
vulnerability described in CERT advisory CA-2003-07.
20030311-19
Bugfix: the access map actions HOLD, DISCARD and FILTER
were broken with smtpd_delay_reject=no and with ETRN. Fixing
this required re-architecting of the actions code. Files:
smtpd/smtpd.[hc], smtpd/smtpd_check.c, smtpd/smtpd_state.c.
20030315
Bugfix: the postsuper manual page documented support for
the -c command line option, but it was not implemented.
File: postsuper/postsuper.c.
Bugfix: the Postfix 2.0 recipient map checking code broke
the VRFY command, causing it to reply with status code 252
for non-existent addresses. This required re-architecting
the recipient table lookup code. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
20030410
Safety: log a fatal error when a net/mask pattern has a
non-zero host part, so that mail delivery is deferred.
File: util/match_ops.c.
20030411
Bugfix: extraneous warning about out-of-order original
recipient records by Patrik Rak. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
20030415
Workaround: log a warning and reset incoming queue file
time stamps when the file system clock is ahead of the
local clock, instead of ignoring new mail until the next
queue scan. The file system clock drift detection executes
only once per process instance, to minimize the performance
impact. File: global/mail_stream.c.
20030416
Bugfix: missing partial last line when 1) someone submits
8-bit mail not ending in newline via /usr/sbin/sendmail
and 2) MIME input processing is turned off, and 3) MIME
8bit->7bit conversion is requested upon delivery via SMTP.
20030424
Cleanup: readlline() did not terminate the result before
complaining about lines starting with whitespace.
Cleanup: eliminated valid_hostname warning for invalid
queue file names. File: global/mail_queue.c.
Bugfix: the Postfix sendmail command applied the message
size limit when running as newaliases. The limiting code
is now moved to the message enqueuing branch of the code.
File: sendmail/sendmail.c.
20030429
Bugfix: "," was not recognized in proxy_read_maps settings.
Fix by Leandro Santi. File: proxymap/proxymap.c.
20030502
Bugfix: defer delivery after .forward etc. file read error.
File: local/token.c. Problem reported by Ben Rosengart,
Panix.
20030520
Cleanup: future time stamps in Received: headers and negative
delays in delivery agent logging after "postdrop -r",
because deferred queue files had future file modification
times. File: src/postsuper/postsuper.c.
20030521
Cleanup: nqmgr warnings about "recipient count mismatch"
after "postdrop -r", because the cleanup server did not
count the "already done" recipients. Problem reported by
Richard Stockton, Gramma Software. Files:
cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c, cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c
20030528
Compatibility: "sendmail -q<time>" without -bd option now
exits immediately, instead of waiting for input on the
standard input stream and screwing up system boot sequences.
File: sendmail/sendmail.c.
Bugfix: the Postfix LMTP client used the wrong service
name, causing trouble with SASL 2.1.13. Daniel Schales,
Louisiana Tech. File: lmtp/lmtp_sasl_glue.c.
Workaround: IRIX select() reports that a non-blocking file
descriptor is writable while write() transfers zero bytes.
File: global/pipe_command.c.
Feature: "postcat -q" (search the queue for the named file)
support copied from snapshot release because I can't see
people suffer. File: postcat/postcat.c.
20030530
Bugfix: client access denied with smtpd_delay_reject=no
broke "sendmail -bs". Fix by Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley.
File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20030531
Compatibility: allow <@site,@site:address> route addresses
in SMTP commands. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20030605
Bugfix: the "dead host" backoff timer in the MySQL client
didn't work. Fix by Leandro Santi. File: util/dict_mysql.c.
Safety: stricter checks on what queue file records the
postdrop submission command accepts (idea copied from
snapshot). File: postdrop/postdrop.c.
Workaround: turned off non-blocking write to pipe because
too many systems give a weird write() result. File:
global/pipe_command.c.
20030609
Workaround: Solaris blocking socket read() may hang. Hernan
Perez Masci and Leandro Santi. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20030611
Bugfix: the stricter postdrop input filter broke "sendmail
-bs". Found by Lutz Jaenicke. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
20030616
Cleanup: more accurate "postfix check" warning for files
that miss one or more of the required mode 02111 execute
permission bits. Matthias Andree. File: conf/postfix-script.
20030618
Workaround: after "postfix reload", the master daemon now
warns when inet_interfaces has changed, and ignores the
change, instead of passing incorrect information to the
smtp server. File: master/master_ent.c.
20030620
Bugfix: after the last change to postdrop, postcat no longer
recognized maildrop queue files as valid. File: postcat/postcat.c.
20030621
Workaround: the safe_open(O_CREAT) race condition exploit
avoiding code tries a little harder when it encounters a
race condition. File: util/safe_open.c.
20030629
Cleanup: replaced references to "simulated virtual domains"
by "virtual alias domains". Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley.
20030711
Bugfix: the LMTP session caching code did not reset the
EHLO server feature list when it needed to reconnect.
Problem found by Tobias Erbsland.
20030717
Documentation: corrected the command time limit parameter
syntax in the spawn(8) manual page.
20030811
Cleanup: produce a warning when host:port specifies a badly
formatted numerical port. Files: util/find_inet.c,
smtp/smtp_connect.c, lmtp/lmtp_connect.c.
20030905
Workaround: Solaris 8 select() claims that a non-blocking
socket is readable and then read() fails with EAGAIN. Files:
util/timed_read.c and as precautionary measure,
util/timed_write.c.
20030908
The 20030905 workaround triggers too many warnings. TCP
sockets are back to blocking, and keepalives are turned on
to kill off dead sockets, as suggested by Leandro Santi.
Files: master/{single,multi}_server.c, smtpd/smtpd.c,
util/sys_defs.h.
20030909
Bugfix: the LMTP session caching code had problems with
SASL authentication after the first connection, and pipelining
was working poorly. Fix by Viktor Dukhovni, Morgan Stanley.
Files: lmtp/lmtp.c, lmtp/lmtp_proto.c.
20030912
Workaround: besides SMTP server sockets, SMTP client sockets
can also hang on Solaris, as reported by Leandro Santi. In
order to deal with this at the root, all connection management
is now done by sane_accept() and sane_connect(). Both turn
on keepalives on Solaris.
20030913
Safety: set-gid commands don't trust TZ. File: msg_syslog.c.
20031027
Portability: MacOS X Bind8 compatibility. File: makedefs.
20031110
Cleanup: don't report that $queue_directory/etc/filename
differs from /etc/filename when /etc/filename does not
exist. File: conf/postfix-script.
20031126
Bugfix: "panic: mymalloc: requested length 0" when master.cf
specified an invalid host name or address. Postfix now
logs more specific information. File: master/master_ent.c.
Reported by several people.
20031215
Safety: updated mail_queue_id_ok() for long fast flush
logfile names. File: global/mail_queue.c.
Robustness: save and restore the resolver _res.options
settings before and after DNS lookup, to avoid surprises
in third-party code. This may eliminate some "localhost
not found" problems. File: dns/dns_lookup.c.
20031222
Cleanup: shaved half the worst-case bits off the cleanup
duplicate address filter footprint. After discussion with
Victor Duchovni. File: cleanup/cleanup_out_recipient.c.

Bugfix: restore errno after write failure in SIGCHLD handler.
Leandro Santi. File: master/master_sig.c.
20040104
Workaround: MacOSX dumps core on the 20030913 TZ censoring
code. We explictly set TZ=UTC, which will produce incorrect
results when "mailq" formatting is moved from the showq
daemon to the postqueue command. File: msg_syslog.c.
Bugfix: vstring_get() etc. now return VSTREAM_EOF when they
terminate prematurely, instead of returning the last
character stored. This avoids mis-leading warnings. File:
global/vstring_vstream.c.
20040115
Performance: allow delivery concurrency to increase even
while mail is deferred, as long as the delivery agent does
not report really serious trouble with the destination.
Files: *qmgr/qmgr_deliver.c.

UNDO the 20040104 change (vstring_get() etc. return
VSTREAM_EOF when they terminate prematurely, instead of
returning the last character stored, to avoid mis-leading
warnings). File: global/vstring_vstream.c.
Portability: test -e is not portable. File: conf/postfix-script.

Bugfix: the pickup daemon now strokes the watchdog frequently
to prevent the watchdog from barking when mail arrives
faster than it can be picked up. File: pickup/pickup.c.
20040311
Bugfix: bad address syntax caused map lookup with zero-length
keys. Problem reported by Andrei Koulik. Files:
util/match_ops.c, src/trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
20040401
Bugfix: the MySQL client aborted because of a spurious
dict_register() call, causing complaints about a table
already being registered. File: util/dict_mysql.c.
20040407
Bugfix: missing return statement at the end of the
FREE_MEMORY_AND_RETURN error handling macro. This could
cause core dump after table lookup failure. Adi Prasaja.
File: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
20040414
Bugfix: postdrop should not enable SIGHUP (and abort mail
delivery) when SIGHUP was ignored by the parent process.
File: postdrop/postdrop.c. Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley.
