Feature: postmulti mult-instance manager command, very
lightly tested. The MULTI_INSTANCE_README still needs to
be proofread. Originally by Victor Duchovni. Files:
src/postmulti/*, proto/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html,
conf/postmulti-script.
Cleanup: assorted code cleanups in postmulti. File:
src/postmulti/postmulti.c.
Cleanup: multiple instances of the same global. Files:
util/inet_windowsize.c, util/inet_listen.c.
Cleanup: the Postfix SMTP server now maintains a per-session
"improper command pipelining detected" flag. This flag can
be tested at any time with reject_unauth_pipelining, and
is raised whenever a client command is followed by unexpected
commands or message content. Files: smtpd/smtpd.c,
smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Logging: the Postfix SMTP server now logs the first command
pipelining transgression as "improper command pipelining
after <command> from <hostname>[<hostaddress>]".
Cleanup: after DATA command failure, log "(approximately
XX bytes)" only if Postfix actually accepted the DATA
command. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
Cleanup: word smithing of "sendmail -bv" probe message.
File: sendmail/sendmail.c.
Cleanup: OpenLDAP now provides a sane solution for conflicts
with PAM ldap-over-tls. Victor Duchovni. File: global/dict_ldap.c.
Cleanup: skip over suspended or throttled queues while
looking for delivery requests. File: *qmgr/qmgr_transport.c.
Bugfix: in the "new queue manager", the _destination_rate_delay
code needed to postpone the job scheduler updates after
delivery completion, otherwise the scheduler could loop on
blocked jobs. Victor & Wietse. File: qmgr/qmgr_entry.c,
qmgr/qmgr_queue.c, qmgr/qmgr_job.c.
Cleanup: report a "queue file write error", instead of
passing though bogus 2xx replies from proxy filters to SMTP
clients. File: smtpd/smtpd_proxy.c.
Cleanup: with "lmtp_assume_final = yes", the Postfix LMTP
delivery agent assumes that delivery is final when talking
to an LMTP server that announces no DSN support. Otherwise,
the Postfix LMTP delivery agent assumes that delivery is
"relayed", to maintain compatibility with simple LMTP-based
content filters. Based on code by Michel Sebastien, ATOS
Origin. File: smtp/smtp_rcpt.c.
Bugfix: Postfix used mumble_concurrency_failed_cohort_limit
instead of mumble_destination_concurrency_failed_cohort_limit
as documented. File: global/mail_params.h.
Cleanup: add (Resent-) From:, Date:, Message-ID: or To:
headers only when clients match $local_header_rewrite_clients.
Specify "always_add_missing_headers = yes" for backwards
compatibility. Adding such headers to remote mail can break
DKIM signatures that cover headers that are not present.
File: cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
Workaround: to avoid unnecessary "fatal" delivery agent
exits, delivery agents retry getting a shared lock on a
queue file. This is necessary since the queue manager's
behavior was changed years ago to refill the in-memory
recipient list before it was completely empty. File:
global/deliver_request.c.
Workaround: some AWK implementations have a limit of 10
output files and lack a working close() function. It is too
much trouble to find out what systems have this limitation,
and where, if any, such systems store their XPG4-compatible
AWK program. So instead we generate a stream of here
documents and let the shell split the stream into files.
File: postconf/extract.awk.
Documentation: clarification of certificate file usage.
Victor Duchovni. Files: proto/postconf.proto,
proto/TLS_README.html.
Feature: pass a "TLS is active" flag to the server-side
SASL support. Based on code by Timo Sirainen, except that
the implementation uses an extensible API so that it will
be less painful to add more attributes in future Postfix
versions. Files: xsasl/xsasl.h, xsasl/xsasl_*server.c,
smtpd/smtpd_sasl_glue.c.
Documentation: re-generate READMEs and manpages for updated
hyperlinks.
Documentation: missing hyperlinks and missing parameters
in manpages. File: mantools/postlink, mantools/check-postlink.
Cleanup: use the extensible API to pass SMTP client address
information to the dovecot SASL plugin, and prepare for
passing server address information. Files: xsasl/xsasl.h,
xsasl/xsasl_dovecot_server.c, smtpd/smtpd_sasl_glue.c.
Same extensible API transformation for the SASL client-side
code to make future extensions less painful. Files:
xsasl/xsasl.h, xsasl/xsasl*client.c, smtp/smtp_sasl_glue.c.
Bugfix: don't re-enable SIGHUP if it is ignored in the
parent. This may cause random "Postfix integrity check
failed" errors at boot time (POSIX SIGHUP death), causing
Postfix not to start. We duplicate code from postdrop and
thus avoid past mistakes. File: postsuper/postsuper.c.
Robustness: don't re-enable SIGTERM if it is ignored in the
parent. Files: postsuper/postsuper.c, postdrop/postdrop.c.
Undo delivery agent change 20090415. The queue manager never
locks a queue file to read additional recipients into memory,
so if a delivery agent runs into a locked file, then something
is seriously wrong. File: global/deliver_request.c.
Compatibility: the Postfix SMTP client no longer uses the
obsolete SSLv2 by default for opportunistic encryption.
This has nothing to do with security (we're willing to send
plaintext over an unauthenticated connection) but with the
loss of advanced options that give better performance.
Victor Duchovni. Files: proto/postconf.proto, global/mail_params.h.
Feature: more accurate support for Milter macros {mail_addr}
and {rcpt_addr}, and new support for Milter macros {mail_host},
{mail_mailer}, {rcpt_host}, and {rcpt_mailer}. Files:
milter/milter.[hc], smtpd/smtpd.[hc], smtpd/smtpd_milter.c,
smtpd/smtpd_resolve.c.
Feature: support to report rejected recipients to Milters
(SMFIP_RCPT_REJ). Postfix reports the event as decribed in
Sendmail 8.14.0 documentation: {rcpt_mailer} = "error",
{rcpt_host} = enhanced status code (e.g., "5.7.1"), and
{rcpt_addr} = reason to reject (e.g., "Relay access denied").
Files: milter/milter.[hc], milter/milter8.c, smtpd/smtpd.[hc],
smtpd/smtpd_milter.c.

Feature: Milter support for replacing the envelope sender
and adding recipients (SMFIR_CHGFROM, SMFIR_ADDRCPT_PAR).
This support currently ignores ESMTP command parameters.
Files: milter/milter8.c, cleanup/cleanup_milter.c.
20090428
Compatibility: to make all the new Milter features usable,
raise the default milter_protocol setting from 2 to 6.
This has been tested with a Sendmail 8.14 libmilter.
File: global/mail_params.h.
Bugfix: don't disable MIME parsing with smtp_header_checks,
smtp_mime_header_checks, smtp_nested_header_checks or with
smtp_body_checks. Bug reported by Victor. File: smtp/smtp_proto.c.
Code cleanups: respect VSTRING invariants by using VSTRING_RESET
and VSTRING_TERMINATE instead of directly groping the
underlying character buffer. Files: global/dsn_buf.c,
milter/milter8.c.
20090507
main.cf:tls_random_source now defaults to /dev/arandom on
OpenBSD. This device was introduced before Postfix development
began. Files: util/sys_defs.h, global/mail_params.h.
20090510
Code cleanups: while emulating SMTP client requests for
Milter applications, use user@domain form addresses as
required by the SMTP protocol, instead of bare usernames.
This avoids hard to debug errors from some Milter applications.
Files: cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c, cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c,
cleanup/cleanup_addr.c.
20090511
Code cleanups: don't clobber -o command-line arguments so
that Linux people can debug daemon command lines more easily.
Files: master/*server.c.
20090519
Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 2.3, but did not cause trouble
until 20090427). Queue file corruption, with (smtpd_milters
or non_smtpd_milters) enabled, AND with delay_warning_time
enabled, AND with short envelope sender addresses e.g.,
local submissions with bare usernames, but not bounces).
The queue file would be corrupted when the delay_warning_time
record was marked as "done" after sending the "your mail
is delayed" notice. File: qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
20090528
Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 2.6 change 20080629): with
plaintext sessions, smtpd_tls_auth_only=yes caused spurious
warnings with reject_authenticated_sender_login_mismatch,
and broke reject_unauthenticated_sender_login_mismatch and
reject_sender_login_mismatch. Based on fix by Victor
Duchovni. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
