- update to 3.9.0
* As described in DEPRECATION_README, the SMTP server features
"permit_naked_ip_address", "check_relay_domains", and
"reject_maps_rbl" have been removed, after they have been logging
a warning for some 20 years. These features now log a warning
and return a "server configuration error" response.
* The MySQL client no longer supports MySQL versions < 4.0. MySQL
version 4.0 was released in 2003.
* As covered in DEPRECATION_README, the configuration parameter
"disable_dns_lookup" and about a dozen TLS-related parameters
are now officially obsolete. These parameters still work, but
the postconf command logs warnings that they will be removed
from Postfix.
* As covered in DEPRECATION_README, "permit_mx_backup" logs a
warning that it will be removed from Postfix.
* In message headers, Postfix now formats numerical days as
two-digit days, i.e. days 1-9 have a leading zero instead of a
leading space. This change was made because the RFC 5322 date
and time specification recommends (i.e. SHOULD) that a single
space be used in each place that folding white space appears.
This change avoids a breaking change in the length of a date
string.
* The MySQL client default characterset is now configurable with
the "charset" configuration file attribute. The default is
"utf8mb4", consistent with the MySQL 8.0 built-in default, but
different from earlier MySQL versions where the built-in default
was "latin1".
* Support to query MongoDB databases, contributed by Hamid Maadani,
based on earlier code by Stephan Ferraro. See MONGODB_README
and mongodb_table(5)
* The RFC 3461 envelope ID is now exported in the local(8) delivery
agent with the ENVID environment variable, and in the pipe(8)
delivery agent with the ${envid} command-line attribute.
* Configurable idle and retry timer settings in the mysql: and
pgsql: clients. A shorter than default retry timer can sped up
the recovery after error, when Postfix is configured with only
one server in the "hosts" attribute. After the code was frozen
for release, we have learned that Postfix can recover faster
from some errors when the single server is specified multiple
times in the "hosts" attribute.
* Optional Postfix TLS support to request an RFC7250 raw public
key instead of an X.509 public-key certificate. The configuration
settings for raw key public support will be ignored when there
is no raw public key support in the local TLS implementation
(i.e. Postfix with OpenSSL versions before 3.2). See RELEASE_NOTES
for more information.
* Preliminary support for OpenSSL configuration files, primarily
OpenSSL 1.1.1b and later. This introduces two new parameters
"tls_config_file" and "tls_config_name", which can be used to
limit collateral damage from OS distributions that crank up
security to 11, increasing the number of plaintext email
deliveries. Details are in the postconf(5) manpage under
"tls_config_file" and "tls_config_name".
* With "smtpd_forbid_unauth_pipelining = yes" (the default),
Postfix defends against multiple "blind" SMTP attacks. This
feature was back-ported to older stable releases but disabled
by default.
* With "smtpd_forbid_bare_newline = normalize" (the default)
Postfix defends against SMTP smuggling attacks. See RELEASE_NOTES
for details. This feature was back-ported to older stable
releases but disabled by default.
* Prevent outbound SMTP smuggling, where an attacker uses Postfix
to send email containing a non-standard End-of-DATA sequence,
to exploit inbound SMTP smuggling at a vulnerable remote SMTP
server. With "cleanup_replace_stray_cr_lf = yes" (the default),
the cleanup daemon replaces each stray <CR> or <LF> character
in message content with a space character. This feature was
back-ported to older stable releases with identical functionality.
* The Postfix DNS client now limits the total size of DNS lookup
results to 100 records; it drops the excess records, and logs
a warning. This limit is 20x larger than the number of server
addresses that the Postfix SMTP client is willing to consider
when delivering mail, and is far below the number of records
that could cause a tail recursion crash in dns_rr_append() as
reported by Toshifumi Sakaguchi. This also introduces a similar
limit on the number of DNS requests that a check_*_*_access
restriction can make. All this was back-ported to older stable
releases with identical functionality.

- update to 3.8.6
* Bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 2.3, date 20051222): the
Dovecot auth client did not reset the 'reason' from a previous
Dovecot auth service response, before parsing the next Dovecot
auth server response in the same SMTP session, resulting in a
nonsensical "authentication failed" warning message. Reported
by Stephan Bosch.
* Bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 3.1, date: 20151128):
"postqueue -j" produced broken JSON when escaping a control
character as \uXXXX. Found during code maintenance.
* Cleanup: this fixes posttls-finger certificate match expectations
for all TLS security levels, including warnings for levels that
don't implement certificate matching. By Viktor Dukhovni.
* Bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 2.3): after prepending a
header at the top of a message (with an access(5), header_checks(5)
or Milter action), the Postfix Milter "delete header" or "update
header" action was skipping the prepended header, instead of
skipping the Postfix-generated Received: header. Problem report
by Carlos Velasco.
* Workaround: tlsmgr logfile spam. Reportedly, some OS lies under
load: it says that a socket is readable, then it says that the
socket has unread data, and then it says that read returns EOF,
causing Postfix to spam the log with a warning message.
* Bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 3.4): the SMTP server's BDAT
command handler could be tricked to read $message_size_limit
bytes into memory. Found during code maintenance.
* Safety: limit the total size of DNS lookup results to 100
records; drop the excess records, and log a warning. This limit
is 20x larger than the number of server addresses that the
Postfix SMTP client is willing to consider when delivering mail,
and is far below the number of records that could cause a tail
recursion crash in dns_rr_append() as reported by Toshifumi
Sakaguchi. This fix also limits the number of DNS requests that
a check_*_*_access restriction can make.
* Performance, related to the previous problem: eliminate worst-case
behavior where the queue manager could defer delivery to all
destinations over a specific delivery transport, after only a
single delivery agent crash. The scheduler now throttles
deliveries to one destination, and allows other deliveries to
keep making progress.

- update to 3.8.3
* Bugfix (defect introduced Postfix 2.5, date 20080104): the
Postfix SMTP server was waiting for a client command instead
of replying immediately, after a client certificate verification
error in TLS wrappermode. Reported by Andreas Kinzler.
* Usability: the Postfix SMTP server (finally) attempts to log
the SASL username after authentication failure. In Postfix
logging, this appends ", sasl_username=xxx" after the reason
for SASL authentication failure. The logging replaces an
unavailable reason with "(reason unavailable)", and replaces
an unavailable sasl_username with "(unavailable)". Based on
code by Jozsef Kadlecsik.
* Compatibility bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 2.11, date
20130405): in forward_path, the expression ${recipient_delimiter}
would expand to an empty string when a recipient address had
no recipient delimiter. The compatibility fix is to use a
configured recipient delimiter value instead. Reported by Tod
A. Sandman.

- update to 3.8.1
* Optional: harden a Postfix SMTP server against remote SMTP
clients that violate RFC 2920 (or 5321) command pipelining
constraints. With "smtpd_forbid_unauth_pipelining = yes", the
server disconnects a client immediately, after responding with
"554 5.5.0 Error: SMTP protocol synchronization" and after
logging "improper command pipelining" with the unexpected remote
SMTP client input. This feature is disabled by default in Postfix
3.5-3.8 to avoid breaking home-grown utilities, but it is enabled
by default in Postfix 3.9. A similar feature is enabled by
default in the Exim SMTP server.
* Optional: some OS distributions crank up TLS security to 11,
and in doing so increase the number of plaintext email deliveries.
This introduces basic OpenSSL configuration file support that
may be used to override OS-level settings.
Details are in the postconf(5) manpage under tls_config_file
and tls_config_name.
* Bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 1.0): the command "postconf
.. name=v1 .. name=v2 .." (multiple instances of the same
parameter name) created multiple main.cf name=value entries
with the same parameter name. It now logs a warning and skips
the earlier name(s) and value(s). Found during code maintenance.
* Bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 3.3): the command "postconf
-M name1/type1='name2 type2 ...'" died with a segmentation
violation when the request matched multiple master.cf entries.
The master.cf file was not damaged. Problem reported by SATOH
Fumiyasu.
* Bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 2.11): the command "postconf
-M name1/type1='name2 type2 ...'" could add a service definition
to master.cf that conflicted with an already existing service
definition. It now replaces all existing service definitions
that match the service pattern 'name1/type1' or the service
name and type in 'name2 type2 ...' with a single service
definition 'name2 type2 ...'. Problem reported by SATOH Fumiyasu.
* Bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 3.8) the posttls-finger
command could access uninitialized memory when reconnecting.
This also fixes a malformed warning message when a destination
contains ":service" information. Reported by Thomas Korbar.
* Bugfix (defect introduced: Postfix 3.2): the MySQL client could
return "not found" instead of "error" (for example, resulting
in a 5XX SMTP status instead of 4XX) during the time that all
MySQL server connections were turned down after error. Found
during code maintenance. File: global/dict_mysql.c. This was
already fixed in Postfix 3.4-3.7.

- update to 3.8.0
* Support to look up DNS SRV records in the Postfix SMTP/LMTP
client, Based on code by Tomas Korbar (Red Hat). For example,
with "use_srv_lookup = submission" and "relayhost =
example.com:submission", the Postfix SMTP client will look up
DNS SRV records for _submission._tcp.example.com, and will relay
email through the hosts and ports that are specified with those
records.
* TLS obsolescence: Postfix now treats the "export" and "low"
cipher grade settings as "medium". The "export" and "low" grades
are no longer supported in OpenSSL 1.1.1, the minimum version
required in Postfix 3.6.0 and later. Also, Postfix default
settings now exclude deprecated or unused ciphers (SEED, IDEA,
3DES, RC2, RC4, RC5), digest (MD5), key exchange algorithms
(DH, ECDH), and public key algorithm (DSS).
* Attack resistance: the Postfix SMTP server can now aggregate
smtpd_client_*_rate and smtpd_client_*_count statistics by
network block instead of by IP address, to raise the bar against
a memory exhaustion attack in the anvil(8) server; Postfix TLS
support unconditionally disables TLS renegotiation in the middle
of an SMTP connection, to avoid a CPU exhaustion attack.
* The PostgreSQL client encoding is now configurable with the
"encoding" Postfix configuration file attribute. The default
is "UTF8". Previously the encoding was hard-coded as "LATIN1",
which is not useful in the context of SMTP.
* The postconf command now warns for #comment in or after a Postfix
parameter value. Postfix programs do not support #comment after
other text, and treat that as input.

- update to 3.7.4
* Workaround: with OpenSSL 3 and later always turn on
SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF, to avoid warning messages and missed
opportunities for TLS session reuse. This is safe because the SMTP protocol
implements application-level framing, and is therefore not affected by TLS
truncation attacks.
* Workaround: OpenSSL 3.x EVP_get_digestbyname() can return lazily-bound
handles for digest implementations. In sufficiently hostile configurations,
Postfix could mistakenly believe that a digest algorithm is available, and
fail when it is not. A similar workaround may be needed for
EVP_get_cipherbyname().
* Bugfix (bug introduced in Postfix 2.11): the checkok() macro in
tls/tls_fprint.c evaluated its argument unconditionally; it should evaluate
the argument only if there was no prior error.
* Bugfix (bug introduced in Postfix 2.8): postscreen died with a segmentation
violation when postscreen_dnsbl_threshold < 1. It should reject such input
with a fatal error instead.
* Bitrot: fixes for linker warnings from newer Darwin (MacOS) versions.
* Portability: Linux 6 support.
* Added missing documentation that cidr:, pcre: and regexp: tables support
inline specification only in Postfix 3.7 and later.
