and manual pages that discuss smtpd_recipient_restrictions.
20121001
Cleanup: prepend 5.1.1 status code to "User unknown in
virtual alias table". File: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
20121003
Bugfix: the postscreen_access_list feature was case-sensitive
in the first character of permit, reject, etc. Reported by
Francis Picabia. File: global/server_acl.c.
20121009
Documentation: interaction between delay_warning_time,
notify_classes and delay_notice_recipient. File:
proto/postconf.proto.
20101009
Human factors: log a warning that the postcat option -m
without -h or -b has no effect. File: postcat/postcat.c.
20121010
Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 2.5): memory leak in program
initialization. Reported by Coverity. File: tls/tls_misc.c.
Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 2.3): memory leak in the unused
oqmgr program. Reported by Coverity. File: oqmgr/qmgr_message.c.
Documentation: how to enable /etc/hosts multi-record lookups
with main.cf settings. File: proto/LINUX_README.html.
Documentation: clarified the postscreen-tlsproxy interface.
File: tlsproxy/tlsproxy.c.
Documentation: a simpler null-client example. File:
proto/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html
Cleanup: to compute the LDAP connection cache lookup key,
join the numeric fields with null, just like string fields.
Viktor Dukhovni. File: global/dict_ldap.c.
Documentation: added section on regular-expression tables
to the aliases(5) manpage. File: proto/aliases.
Documentation: why "smtp_address_preference = any" is the
preferred setting. File: proto/postconf.proto.
Bugfix (introduced 20101009) don't complain about stray -m
option if none of -[bhm] is specified. Ralf Hildebrandt.
File: postmap/postmap.c.
Workaround: strip datalink suffix from IPv6 addresses
returned by the system getaddrinfo() routine. Such suffixes
mess up the default mynetworks value, host name/address
verification and possibly more. This change obsoletes the
20101108 change that removes datalink suffixes in the SMTP
and QMQP servers. Files: util/myaddrinfo.c, smtpd/smtpd_peer.c,
qmqpd/qmqpd_peer.c.
Bugfix: smtpd_relay_restrictions compatibility shim did not
detect "empty" value. Sahil Tandon. The same problem existed
with the inet_protocols shim. File: conf/post-install.
Cleanup: the postscreen(8) "deep protocol" tests now log
the SMTP command that precedes a protocol violation. Files:
postscreen/postscreen_smtpd.c, proto/POSTSCREEN_README.html.
Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 1.1): wrong string termination
when handling an MBOX From_ line at the start of a message.
File: qmqpd/qmqpd.c.
Cleanup: specify $(WARN) on the MacOS X compiler command
line to suppress "nested comment" and possibly other unwanted
warnings. Problem reported by Jim Reid. File: makedefs,
Makefile.in.
Documentation: added a note that key_format is required
when postscreen(8) and verify(8) share the same memcache
(with different persistent backup databases, or course)
otherwise automatic cache cleanup breaks due to a name
collision for the "last cache cleanup" database record.
File: proto/memcache.
Cleanup: the safety-check for smtpd_recipient_restrictions
and smtpd_relay_restrictions now detects permit before
reject. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Cleanup: the safety-check for smtpd_recipient_restrictions
and smtpd_relay_restrictions is no longer case-sensitive.
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Cleanup: consistent escaping of commands in postscreen deep
protocol test logging. File: postscreen/postscreen_smtpd.c.
Documentation: the bounce behavior for automatically-added
BCC recipients has changed with Postfix 2.3 when DSN support
was introduced. File: proto/postconf.proto.
Documentation: added explicit example for -o name=value.
File: proto/master.
Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 2.9) nesting count error while
stripping the optional [] around a DNS[BW]L address pattern.
This part of the code is not documented and had escaped
testing. Files: util/ip_match.c, util/ip_match.in,
util/ip_match.ref.
Bugfix (introduced: 19980218, when recipient_delimiter
support was added): The error message for unknown local
users (or missing required aliases) should report the user
name instead of the full localpart which may contain an
address extension. Problem reported by Christian Holler.
File: local/unknown.c.
Feature: "postconf -x" support to expand $name in main.cf
parameter values. Files: postconf/postconf_main.c,
postconf/postconf.h, postconf/postconf_node.c, postconf/postconf.c.
Feature: postconf support to warn about an attempt to modify
a read-only parameter (process_name etc.) in main.cf or
master.cf. Files: postconf/postconf_readonly.c,
postconf/postconf_builtin.c.
Feature: postconf support to warn about an undefined $name
in a parameter value in main.cf or master.cf (except for
backwards-compatibility parameters such as $virtual_maps)
Files: postconf/postconf_user.c, postconf_dbms.c,
postconf_builtin.c, util/dict_ht.c, util/htable.c.
Feature: "postconf -Mx" support to expand $name in master.cf
parameter values. Files: postconf/postconf_master.c,
postconf/postconf_lookup.c, postconf/postconf_main.c,
postconf/postconf.c.
Feature: "postconf -Mn" support to print only master.cf
entries that have "-o name=value" parameter setttings.
Files: postconf/postconf_master.c.
Miscellaneous cleanups of postconf internal APIs, identifiers
and comments. No changes in behavior.
Bugfix (omission in feature 20111203): the SMTP server only
supported time-dependent address-verification sender addresses
with RCPT TO but not with MAIL FROM. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
Feature: "postconf -o name=value" support to override main.cf
settings (for example, "postconf -x -o stress=whatever"
shows effective settings under overload). Files:
postconf/postconf.c, postconf/postconf_main.c.
Cleanup: postconf(1) master.cf options parser. Files:
postconf/postconf_master.c, postconf/postconf_user.c.
Bugfix (omission in feature 20111106): the postconf(1)
master.cf options parser didn't support "clusters" of
command-line option letters. Files: postconf/postconf_master.c,
postconf/test40.ref.
Undo a change made around 20121224, and always whitelist
configuration parameter names for legacy-style proxy:ldap:prefix
etc. lookup tables. Files: postconf/postconf_dbms.c,
postconf/test28.ref, postconf/test29.ref, postconf/Makefile.in.
Factor out the master.cf line parser so that it can be
reused for "postconf -Me". File: postconf/postconf_master.c.
20130113
Feature: master.cf attribute namespace. "postconf -F" shows
individual master.cf fields as "service/type/attribute =
value", where attribute is "service", "type", "private",
"unprivileged", "wakeup", "process_limit", or "command".
Bugfix (introduced 20120307): the postconf -X option erased
other options. File: postconf/postconf.c.
Bugfix: the local(8) delivery agent dereferenced a null
pointer while delivering to null command (for example, "|"
in a .forward file). Reported by Gilles Chehade.
Bugfix: the undocumented OpenSSL X509_pubkey_digest()
function is unsuitable for computing certificate PUBLIC KEY
fingerprints. Postfix now provides a correct procedure
that accounts for the algorithm and parameters in addition
to the key data. Specify "tls_legacy_public_key_fingerprints
= yes" if you need backwards compatibility. Fix by Victor
Duchovni, BC added by Wietse. Files: tls/tls_verify.c,
tls/tls_misc.c, proto/TLS_README.html, global/mail_params.h.
Bugfix: an error handler for smtp_tls_policy_maps lookups
was never invoked. File: smtp/smtp_session.c.

Cleanup: logfile message formatting (X: subject_CN=X,
issuer_CN=X, fingerprint=X, pkey_fingerprint=X). File:
tls/tls_client.c.
20130315
Feature: LMDB (memory-mapped persistent file) support by
Howard Chu. This implementation has unexpected failure modes
that don't exist with other Postfix databases, so don't
just yet abandon CDB. See LMDB_README for details. Files:
proto/postconf.proto, proto/LMDB_README.html,
proto/DATABASE_README.html, proto/INSTALL.html util/dict_lmdb.[hc],
util/dict_open.c, global/mkmap_lmdb.[hc], global/mkmap_open.c,
postconf/postconf.c.
20130316
Cleanup: new Postfix dictionary API flag to control the use
of (LMDB) bulk database transactions. With this, LMDB
databases no longer fail to commit any transactions with
tlsmgr(8), and LMDB databases no longer perform glacially
slow with postmap -i/postalias -i. Files: util/dict.h,
util/dict_lmdb.c, postmap/postmap.c, postalias/postalias.c.
20130317
Debugging: generalized setting of dictionary API flags.
File: util/dict.[hc], util/dict_test.c.
Robustness: Postfix programs can now recover from LMDB
"database full" errors without requiring human intervention.
When a program opens an LMDB file larger than lmdb_map_size/3,
it logs a warning and uses a larger size limit instead.
Files: util/dict_lmdb.c, proto/LMDB_README.html.
20130318
Portability: botched #ifdef. File: util/dict_lmdb.c.
20130319
Postfix support for LMDB databases is suspended due to the
existence of a hard limit (an "out of storage" failure mode
that cannot be resolved by increasing the database size).
Postfix may support LMDB again when it no longer limits the
size of Postfix transactions, whether the limit is built
into LMDB itself, or implicit by requiring an unbounded
amount of memory to handle a large transaction.
20130322
Documentation: smtp_skip_5xx_greeting wording updated to
reflect text in RFC 2821, which appears to say that a 554
greeting is not a hard delivery error (note that RFC 2821
was published later than smtp_skip_5xx_greeting). File:
proto/postconf.proto.
20130324
Workaround: MacOS 10.8 (Darwin 12) getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE)
incorrectly reports that rlim_max, the hard limit on the
number of open files per process, is equal to RLIM_INFINITY
(i.e. no limit is enforced). In reality, setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE)
rejects requests where rlim_cur, the current limit, contains
any value > kern.maxfilesperproc. Axel Luttgens. File:
util/open_limit.c.
Portability: MacOS 10.8 (Darwin 12) kqueue support works.
Axel Luttgens. Files: makedefs.
20130324
Support for anonymous certificates. Viktor Dukhovni. File:
tls/tls_verify.c.
Feature: support for DNSSEC-validated lookups and TLSA
RRsets. Viktor Dukhovni. Files: dns/Makefile.in, dns/dns.h,
dns/dns_lookup.c, dns/dns_rr.c, dns/dns_strtype.c,
dns/test_dns_lookup.c,
Cleanup: the personality switch between "smtp" and "lmtp".
This streamlines the switch in the SMTP/LMTP protocol, DNS
MX lookups, and configuration parameter names in error
messages. Viktor Dukhovni. Files: smtp/smtp.c, smtp/smtp.h,
smtp/smtp_chat.c, smtp/smtp_connect.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c,
smtp/smtp_rcpt.c, smtp/smtp_sasl_glue.c, smtp/smtp_sasl_proto.c,
smtp/smtp_session.c, smtp/smtp_state.c.
Feature: replace disable_dns_lookups with smtp_dns_support_level,
enable secure DNSSEC lookups in the Postfix SMTP client,
and use the DNSSEC-validated remote SMTP server name to
select the SMTP and TLS policies. Viktor Dukhovni. Files:
dns/Makefile.in, dns/dns.h, dns/dns_lookup.c, dns/dns_rr.c,
dns/dns_strtype.c, dns/test_dns_lookup.c.
20130325
Portability: on MacOS X, use kqueue() for event handling
but use select() instead of poll() for read/write timeouts
(with a workaround to handle file decriptors >=FD_SETSIZE).
Files: util/sys_defs.h, util/readable.c, util/writable.c,
util/read_wait.c, util/write_wait.c.
Portability: support for NetBSD 5.x, NetBSD 6.x and DragonFly
BSD. Viktor Dukhovni. Files: makedefs, util/sys_defs.h.
20130326
Cleanup: new module that consolidates all system-dependent
code to enforce read/write timeouts. This includes a final
workaround for MacOS X that uses poll() first, and select()
if that fails. This makes their /dev/urandom workaround
unnecessary. Files: util/poll_fd.c, util/iostuff.h. Removed:
util/readable.c, util/writable.c, util/read_wait.c,
util/write_wait.c.
Cleanup: refactor TLS digest functions, improved signature
for TLS session cache. Viktor Dukhovni. Files: smtp/smtp.c,
smtp/smtp_proto.c, smtpd/smtpd.c, tls/Makefile.in, tls/tls.h,
tls/tls_client.c, tls/tls_fprint.c, tls/tls_level.c,
tls/tls_misc.c, tls/tls_server.c, tls/tls_verify.c,
tlsproxy/tlsproxy.c.
20130327
Cleanup: final polish for MacOSX workarounds; replaced
#ifdef MacOSX by feature test as required by PORTING document.
Files: util/poll_fd.c, util/open_limit.c.
Export tls_fprint() and tls_digest_encode() for use in DANE.
Viktor Dukhovni. Files: tls/tls.h, tls/tls_fprint.c.
20130331
Refactoring: TLS verification callback processing in
preparation for DANE support. Viktor Dukhovni. Files:
tls/tls.h, tls/tls_client.c, tls/tls_misc.c, tls/tls_verify.c.
Refactoring: split off SMTP client per-session TLS policy
data and code in preparation for DANE support. Viktor
Dukhovni. Files: smtp/Makefile.in, smtp/smtp.h,
smtp/smtp_connect.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c, smtp/smtp_reuse.c,
smtp/smtp_session.c, smtp/smtp_tls_sess.c.
Cleanup: "zero time limit" corner case in read_wait() and
write_wait() emulation. Files: util/poll_fd.c, util/iostuff.h.
20130401
Refactoring: allow smtp_session_alloc() to fail gracefully
and report an error.

20130404
Human factors: warning when a main.cf parameter has multiple
entries with different values. File: util/dict.c.
20130405
Feature: the recipient_delimiter parameter can now specify
a set of characters. A user name is now separated from its
address extension by the first character that matches the
recipient_delimiter set. Files: proto/postconf.proto,
src/global/mail_addr_find.c, src/global/mail_params.c,

src/smtpd/smtpd_check.c, src/trivial-rewrite/transport.c,
src/trivial-rewrite/trivial-rewrite.c.
Feature: support for trust anchors, i.e. CA certificates
or public keys that will be used instead of conventional
root certificates, and revised fingerprint support. This
can be used by itself, and this provides support for an
upcoming DANE implementation. Victor Duchovni. Files:
mantools/postlink, proto/TLS_README.html, proto/postconf.proto,

Cleanup: more uniform permutation in dns_rr() by Victor
Duchovni & Son. File: dns/dns_rr.c.
20130411
Documentation: clarified text about result formats. Files:
proto/canonical, proto/virtual.
20130414
Cleanup: the SMTP client connection management code now
maintains iterator state with a structure that contains
next-hop, host name, address, port and other information.
This iterator structure replaces random variables that were
updated by add-hoc code, and replaces random function
argument lists. The more structured approach is easier to
maintain and has already paid off by exposing opportunities
to improve SMTP connection cache usage. Wietse Venema.
Files: smtp/smtp.h, smtp/smtp_connect.c, smtp/smtp_session.c,
smtp_reuse.c.
Cleanup: eliminated minor false SMTP connection cache-sharing
problems due to mis-aligned lookup keys for caches and
lookup tables (for example some used the nexthop, and some
the domain name). Information that is used in more than
one lookup key is now generated by a centralized function.
This replaces ad-hoc code in random places that was
concatenating ad-hoc data to construct lookup keys. The
more structured approach is easier to maintain and makes
future cache-sharing issues easier to prevent. Wietse
Venema. Files: smtp/smtp.h, smtp/smtp_connect.c, smtp_reuse.c,
smtp_key.c, smtp_tls_sess.c.
Cleanup and fix of non-production code: the trust anchor-digest
code and smtp_sess_tls_required() function. Victor Duchovni.
Files: smtp/smtp_connect.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c,
smtp/smtp_tls_sess.c, tls/tls.h, tls/tls_client.c,
tls/tls_dane.c, tls/tls_level.c, tls/tls_verify.c.
20130417
Cleanup and fix of non-production code: add the SASL
credentials or absence thereof to the connection cache
endpoint label; better reuse of SASL-authenticated connections
over UNIX-domains sockets, however unlikely these may be;
a first step towards refinement of connection cache lookup
by IP addres for plaintext or SASL-unauthenticated connections.
Files: smtp/smtp.h smtp/smtp_connect.c, smtp/smtp_reuse.c,
smtp/smtp_key.c, smtp/smtp_tls_sess.s.
20130418
Cleanup: configurable field delimiter and optional "not
available" field place holder for cache and table lookup
keys; automatic base64 encoding for key fields that contain
these. Files: smtp/smtp_key,c, smtp/smtp_reuse.c,
smtp/smtp_proto.c, smtp/smtp_tls_sess.c.
20130420-21
Documentation: "dane" TLS security level and parameters.

Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 2.0): when myhostname is not
listed in mydestination, the trivial-rewrite resolver may
log "do not list <myhostname value> in both mydestination
and <name of non-mydestination domain list>". The fix is
to re-resolve a domain-less address after adding $myhostname
as the surrogate domain, so that it pops out with the right
address-class label. Problem reported by Quanah Gibson-Mount.

Cleanup: just like the postscreen DNS block test will use
partial scores when some DNS lookup result is unavailable,
the postscreen_dnsbl_whitelist_treshold feature will now
use partial scores instead of ignoring them. File:

Workaround: The Postfix SMTP server TLS session cache was
broken because OpenSSL now enables session tickets by
default, resulting in different ticket encryption key for
each smtpd(8) process. the workaround turns off session
tickets. In 2.11 we'll enable session tickets properly.
Viktor Dukhovni. File: tls/tls_server.c.
Updated DANE support (trust in DNS instead of PKI). With
OpenSSL 1.0.2 (under development) trusted certificates don't
need to be self-signed roots. Otherwise we use an ephemeral
root certificate to sign the trust anchor. Viktor Dukhovni.

File: util/dict_lmdb.c.
20130822
The status of LMDB databases is "not recommended". Unlike
other Postfix databases, LMDB does not grow beyond a specified
limit even when the file system has room. This show-stopper
bug breaks applications whose requirements grow with load:
postscreen(8), greylisting, tlsmgr(8) and verify(8).
20130825
Bitrot: Arrange for shared keys in SMTP server session
tickets. Otherwise, with clients that enable session
tickets, the SMTP session cache is per-process and largely
ineffective. Older releases should add SSL_OP_NO_TICKET
to the SSL options bit mask in the SMTP server only. The
session ticket key validity interval (sum of initial issuing
and retired key validation intervals) must not exceed the
SSL session lifetime. Otherwise, clients may send valid
tickets for expired sessions, which the OpenSSL server code
mishandles (does not send a replacement ticket, patch
pending...).
We set the session lifetime to 2 times the configured cache
lifetime which is also the ticket issuing and retired
validation lifetime, so ticketed sessions last 1 to 2 times
the configured session lifetime and never longer than a
session's expiration time.

Robustness: Search for TLSA RRs at the resolved server name
(rname) and failing that request server name (qname), and
use whichever was found as the TLSA base domain for certificate
matching.
When we find a DNSSEC validated MX RRset, and the initial
next-hop domain is a CNAME, include both the initial and
final (the one with the actual MX RRs) domains in the list
of valid server certificate names.
When we find no MX records, then the initial next-hop domain
is obtained securely from the recipient domain or transport
next-hop. Without MX records, this is a destination hostname,
so we should generally do a TLSA lookup. If however the
address lookup yields an insecure result, and its rname is
equal to its qname (no CNAMEs), we reasonably assume that
the its child "_port._tcp" sub-domain is likewise insecure
(security here would require DLV just for this sub-domain).
This allows us to skip futile TLSA queries for most non-MX
destinations (those that are in insecure zones and are not
CNAMEs). This heuristic can be disabled by setting the new
main.cf parameter smtp_tls_force_insecure_host_tlsa_lookup
to "yes", the default is "no".
Finally, with MX hostnames, if the MX RRset is secure, we
look for TLSA RRs at the qname only when the MX host is an
alias with an insecure rname. If both the qname and the
rname are secure, as before we prefer the rname, but when
nothing is found there, fall back to the qname.

File: proto/STRESS_README.html.
20130903
Cleanup: made the default_database_type compile-time
configurable. Files: util/sys_defs.h, makedefs, proto/INSTALL.

Feature: reject_known_sender_login_mismatch, which applies
reject_sender_login_mismatch only to MAIL FROM addresses
that are known in $smtpd_sender_login_maps. Viktor & Wietse.
Files: mantools/postlink, proto/SASL_README.html,
proto/postconf.proto, global/mail_params.h, smtpd/smtpd_check.c.

Cleanup: no more LMDB "database full" errors. Postfix now
requires LMDB >= 0.9.8 which supports on-the-fly database
resizing. When a database becomes full, its size limit is
automatically doubled, and other processes automatically
pick up the new database size limit. Files: util/dict.h,
util/dict_open.c, util/dict_alloc.c, util/dict_lmdb.c,
postmap/postmap.c, postalias/postalias.c, proto/LMDB_README.html,
proto/postconf.proto.
20130928
Cleanup: the lmdb_max_readers property is now configurable.
This is a hard limit built into the OpenLDAP library that
causes requests to fail when the number of open read
transactions exceeds the limit. When this happens the LMDB
client logs an MDB_READERS_FULL warning and continues with
reduced performance. Files: util/dict_lmdb.c, util/dict_lmdb.h,
global/mail_params.h, global/mail_params.c, proto/postconf.proto,
proto/LMDB_README.html.

Security violation: LMDB opens files with read/write access
for lock management purposes. This gives unprivileged
daemon processes read/write file handles for root-owned
files under /etc/postfix. This also breaks when a non-root
process needs to access a root-owned database. Even if
LMDB lock files were world-writable, and kept in a dedicated
directory, they would still violate the principle of least
privilege. For all these reasons, support to create LMDB
files is removed from the postmap and postalias commands.
LMDB files can still be created by unprivileged Postfix
daemon processes under the postfix-owned data_directory.
Files: proto/LMDB_README.html, global/mkmap.c.
20131001
Cleanup: LMDB support is forbidden due to problems with
LMDB lock management. These problems hinder error recovery
in multi-programmed systems, and prohibit database sharing
between privileged writer processes and unprivileged reader
processes.

Documentation: inet_protols description was not updated
when smtp_address_preference was added. File: proto/postconf.proto

Documentation: why postscreen(8) uses hash-table lookups
instead of direct pointers to find the DNSBL lookup result
for a specific session. File: postscreen/postscreen_early.c.
20131022
Cleanup: add more &code; to postconf2man. Someone has been
writing documentation without checking the result, File:
mantools/postconf2man.
