* TLS
o Support for PKI-less TLS server certificate verification, where
the CA public key or the server certificate is identified via DNSSEC lookup
* LMDB database support
* master
o The master_service_disable parameter value syntax has changed:
use "service/type" instead of "service.type".
* postconf:
o Support for advanced master.cf query and update operations.
This was implemented primarily to support automated system management tools.
o The postconf command produces more warnings
* relay safety
New smtpd_relay_restrictions parameter built-in default settings:
smtpd_relay_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks
permit_sasl_authenticated
defer_unauth_destination
* postscreen whitelisting
Allow a remote SMTP client to skip postscreen(8) tests based on
its postscreen_dnsbl_sites score.

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.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:mail/postfix?expand=0&rev=160
* tls support:
Support to turn off the TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 protocols:
To temporarily turn off problematic protocols globally:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !TLSv1.1, !TLSv1.2
smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !TLSv1.1, !TLSv1.2
However, it may be better to temporarily turn off problematic
protocols for broken sites only:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_tls_policy_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/tls_policy
/etc/postfix/tls_policy:
example.com may protocols=!SSLv2:!TLSv1.1:!TLSv1.2
* 20111012 To simplify integration with third-party
applications, the Postfix sendmail command now always transforms
all input lines ending in <CR><LF> into UNIX format (lines ending
in <LF>). Specify "sendmail_fix_line_endings = strict" to restore
historical Postfix behavior (i.e. convert all input lines ending
in <CR><LF> only if the first line ends in <CR><LF>).
* 20120114 Logfile-based alerting systems may need to be
updated to look for "error" messages in addition to "fatal" messages.
Specify "daemon_table_open_error_is_fatal = yes" to get the historical
behavior (immediate termination with "fatal" message).
* enable_long_queue_ids Postfix 2.9 introduces support for non-repeating queue IDs (also
used as queue file names). These names are encoded in a mix of upper
case, lower case and decimal digit characters. Long queue IDs are
disabled by default to avoid breaking tools that parse logfiles and
that expect queue IDs with the smaller [A-F0-9] character set.
* 20111209 memcache lookup and update support. This provides
a way to share postscreen(8) or verify(8) caches between Postfix

was comparing bitmasks incorrectly causing the program to
always wait for the full time limit. This error affected
the unused postkick command, but only after s/fifo/unix/
in master.cf. File: util/events.c.
- Cleanup: laptop users have always been able to avoid
unnecessary disk spin-up by doing s/fifo/unix/ in master.cf
(this is currently not supported on Solaris systems).
However, to make this work reliably, the "postqueue -f"
command must wait until its requests have reached the pickup
and qmgr servers before closing the UNIX-domain request
sockets. Files: postqueue/postqueue.c, postqueue/Makefile.in.

Bugfixes:
smtpd(8) did not sanitize newline characters in cleanup(8)
REJECT messages, causing them to be sent out via SMTP as bare newline characters.
smtpd(8) sent multi-line responses from a before-queue content filter as text with
bare <LF> instead of <CR><LF>.
Workaround: postscreen sent non-compliant SMTP responses (220- followed by 421)
when it could not give a connection to a real smtpd process, causing some
remote SMTP clients to bounce mail.

* DNSBL/DNSWL:
o Support for address patterns in DNS blacklist and whitelist lookup results.
o The Postfix SMTP server now supports DNS-based whitelisting with several safety features
* Support for read-only sqlite database access.
* Alias expansion:
o Postfix now reports a temporary delivery error when the result
of virtual alias expansion would exceed the virtual_alias_recursion_limit
or virtual_alias_expansion_limit.
o To avoid repeated delivery to mailing lists with pathological
nested alias configurations, the local(8) delivery agent now keeps
the owner-alias attribute of a parent alias, when delivering mail
to a child alias that does not have its own owner alias.
* The Postfix SMTP client no longer appends the local domain when
looking up a DNS name without ".".
* The SMTP server now supports contact information that is appended
to "reject" responses: smtpd_reject_footer
* Postfix by default no longer adds a "To: undisclosed-recipients:;"
header when no recipient specified in the message header.
* tls support:
o The Postfix SMTP server now always re-computes the SASL mechanism
list after successful completion of the STARTTLS command.
o The smtpd_starttls_timeout default value is now stress-dependent.
o Postfix no longer appends the system-supplied default CA certificates
to the lists specified with *_tls_CAfile or with *_tls_CApath.
* New feature: Prototype postscreen(8) server that runs a number
of time-consuming checks in parallel for all incoming SMTP connections,
before clients are allowed to talk to a real Postfix SMTP server.
It detects clients that start talking too soon, or clients that appear
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:mail/postfix?expand=0&rev=62
* Bugfix (introduced Postfix 2.6) in the XFORWARD implementation,
which sends remote SMTP client attributes through SMTP-based content filters.
The Postfix SMTP client did not skip "unknown" SMTP client attributes,
causing a syntax error when sending an "unknown" client PORT attribute.
* Robustness: skip LDAP queries with non-ASCII search strings, instead of failing with a database lookup error.
* Safety: Postfix processes now log a warning when a matchlist has
a #comment at the end of a line (for example mynetworks or relay_domains).
* Portability: OpenSSL 1.0.0 changes the priority of anonymous cyphers.
* Portability: Berkeley DB 5.x is now supported.

* performance
[Feature 20100101] Periodic cache cleanup for the verify(8) cache
database. The time between cache cleanup runs is controlled with
the address_verify_cache_cleanup_interval (default: 12h) parameter.
Cache cleanup increases the database access latency, so this should
not be run more often than necessary.
[Feature 20091109] Improved before-queue filter performance. With
"smtpd_proxy_options = speed_adjust", the Postfix SMTP server
receives the entire message before it connects to a before-queue
content filter. This means you can run more SMTP server processes
with the same number of running content filter processes, and thus,
handle more mail. This feature is off by default until it is proven
to create no new problems.
This addresses a concern of people in Europe who want to reject all
bad mail with a before-queue filter. The alternative, an after-queue
filter, means they would have to discard bad mail (which is illegal)
or bounce bad mail (which violates good network citizenship).
NOTE 1: When this feature is turned on, a filter cannot selectively
reject recipients of a multi-recipient message. It is OK to reject
all recipients of the same multi-recipient message, as is deferring
or accepting all recipients of the same multi-recipient message.
NOTE 2: This feature increases the minimum amount of free queue
space by $message_size_limit. The extra space is needed to save the
message to a temporary file.
To keep the performance overhead low, the same temporary file is
reused with successive mail transactions (the file is of course
truncated before reuse, so there is no information leakage).
* sender reputation
[Feature 20100117] The FILTER action in access maps or header/body_checks
now supports sender reputation schemes that dynamically choose the
SMTP source IP address. Typically, mail is split into classes, and
all mail in class X is sent out from an SMTP client IP address that
is reserved for class X.
This is implemented by specifying FILTER actions with empty next-hop
destinations in access maps or header/body_checks, and by configuring
in master.cf one Postfix SMTP client for each SMTP source IP address,
where each client has its own "-o myhostname" and "-o smtp_bind_address"
settings.
[Feature 20091209] sender_dependent_default_transport_maps, a
per-sender override for default_transport. The original motivation
is to use different output channels (with different source IP
addresses) for different sender addresses, in order to keep their
IP-based reputations separate from each other.
The result value syntax is that of default_transport, not transport_maps.
Thus, sender_dependent_default_transport_maps does not support the
special transport_maps result value syntax for null transport, null
nexthop, or null email address.
This feature makes sender_dependent_relayhost_maps pretty much
redundant (though sender_dependent_relayhost_maps will often be
easier to use because that is the only thing people want to override).
* address verification
[Incompat 20100101] The verify(8) service now uses a persistent
cache by default (address_verify_map = btree:$data_directory/verify_cache).
To disable, specify "address_verify_map =" in main.cf.
When periodic cache cleanup is enabled (the default), the verify(8)
server now requires that the cache database supports the "delete"
and "sequence" operations. To disable periodic cache cleanup specify
a zero address_verify_cache_cleanup_interval value.
[Feature 20100101] Periodic cache cleanup for the verify(8) cache
database. The time between cache cleanup runs is controlled with
the address_verify_cache_cleanup_interval (default: 12h) parameter.
Cache cleanup increases the database access latency, so this should
not be run more often than necessary.
* content filter
[Incompat 20100117] The meaning of an empty filter next-hop destination
has changed (for example, "content_filter = foo:" or "FILTER foo:").
Postfix now uses the recipient domain, instead of using $myhostname
as in Postfix 2.6 and earlier. To restore the old behavior specify
"default_filter_nexthop = $myhostname", or specify a non-empty
next-hop content filter destination.
This compatibility option is not needed with SMTP-based content
filters, because these always have an explicit next-hop destination.
With pipe-based filters that specify no next-hop destination, the
compatibility option restores the FIFO order of deliveries. Without
the compatibility option, the delivery order for filters without
next-hop destination changes to round-robin domain selection.
[Feature 20100117] The FILTER action in access maps or header/body_checks
now supports sender reputation schemes that dynamically choose the
SMTP source IP address. Typically, mail is split into classes, and
all mail in class X is sent out from an SMTP client IP address that
is reserved for class X.
This is implemented by specifying FILTER actions with empty next-hop
destinations in access maps or header/body_checks, and by configuring
in master.cf one Postfix SMTP client for each SMTP source IP address,
where each client has its own "-o myhostname" and "-o smtp_bind_address"
settings.
[Feature 20091109] Improved before-queue filter performance. With
"smtpd_proxy_options = speed_adjust", the Postfix SMTP server
receives the entire message before it connects to a before-queue
content filter. This means you can run more SMTP server processes
with the same number of running content filter processes, and thus,
handle more mail. This feature is off by default until it is proven
to create no new problems.

To keep the performance overhead low, the same temporary file is
reused with successive mail transactions (the file is of course
truncated before reuse, so there is no information leakage).
* milter
[Feature 20090606] Support for header checks on Milter-generated
message headers. This can be used, for example, to control mail
flow with Milter-generated headers that carry indicators for badness
or goodness. For details, see the postconf(5) section for
"milter_header_checks". Currently, all header_checks features are
implemented except PREPEND.
* multi-instance support
[Incompat 20090606] The "postmulti -e destroy" command no longer
attempts to remove files that are created AFTER "postmulti -e
create". It still works as expected immediately after creating an
instance by mistake. Trying to automatically remove other files
is too risky because Postfix-owned directories are by design not
trusted.
