In addition to the names listed below, the following people provided
|
|
useful inputs on many occasions: Paul D. Robertson, Simon J. Mudd.
|
|
Apologies for any names omitted.

|
|
|
|
The compiled-in default value for resolve_smtp_sender was
|
|
wrong (from the days that it was a boolean), causing smtpd
|
|
to dump core when the variable was not set in main.cf.
|
|
|
|
The INSTALL instructions now have separate sections for
|
|
the three basic ways of running vmailer.
|
|
|
|
The INSTALL instructions now have discusses how to deal
|
|
with chrooted processes.
|
|
|
|
Ported to RedHat 5.0. My, these people have re-organized
|
|
their include files quite a bit, haven't they.
|
|
|
|
19980106
|
|
|
|
On RedHat Linux 4.2/5.0, when a FIFO listener opens the
|
|
FIFO with mode O_RDONLY, the FIFO remains forever readable
|
|
after the writer has closed it. Workaround: open the FIFO
|
|
mode O_RDWR.
|
|
|
|
Test program: util/fifo_rdonly_bug.c
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the above fix triggers a bug on BSD/OS 3.1
|
|
where opening the FIFO mode O_RDWR causes select() to claim
|
|
that the FIFO is readable even before any data is written
|
|
to it, causing read() to block or to fail.
|
|
|
|
Test program: util/fifo_rdwr_bug.c
|
|
|
|
printfck (check arguments of printf-like function calls)
|
|
found a missing argument in local/command.c
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous Makefile cleanups that I didn't finish before
|
|
the first alpha release.
|
|
|
|
19980107
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the DNS will claim that a domain does not exist,
|
|
when in fact it does. Thus, it is a bad idea to reject mail
|
|
from apparently non-existent domains. I have changed the
|
|
smtpd so that it produces a soft error responses when a
|
|
resolve_smtp_sender test fails with HOST_NOT_FOUND. Note:
|
|
by default, this test is still disabled.
|
|
|
|
The DB and DBM read routines will now automagically figure
|
|
out if (key, value) pairs were written including a terminating
|
|
null byte or not. The DB and DBM write routines will use
|
|
this result to determine how to write, and will fall back
|
|
to per-system defaults otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Renamed the README to MUSINGS, and wrote up a README that
|
|
reflects the current status of the software.
|
|
|
|
Added -d (don't disconnect) and -c (show running counter)
|
|
option to te smtp-source test program. These tools are
|
|
great torture tests for the mail software, and for the
|
|
system that it runs on.
|
|
|
|
Turned down the process_limit parameter (# of parallel smtp
|
|
clients or servers) to avoid unpleasant surprises. You can
|
|
crank up the process_limit parameter in main.cf.
|
|
|
|
19980111
|
|
|
|
Feature: when run by the superuser, mailq now shows the
|
|
mail queue even when the mail system is down. To this end,
|
|
mailq (sendmail -bp) runs the showq program directly instead
|
|
of connecting to the UNIX-domain service socket, and drops
|
|
privileges etc. as usual.
|
|
|
|
19980119
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: Edwin Kremer spotted an oversight in the negated
|
|
host matching code (for name or address patterns prefixed
|
|
by !).
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: upon receipt of a SIGHUP signal, the master now
|
|
disconnects from its child processes, so that the current
|
|
generation of child processes commits suicide, and so that
|
|
the next generation of child processes will use the new
|
|
configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the smtp server now skips the sender DNS domain
|
|
lookup test for foo@[address]
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: don't append the local domain to foo@[address]
|
|
|
|
19980120
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: old low-priority bug in some list walk code that
|
|
caused the master to drop core when a service was turned
|
|
off in master.cf.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the mail system should be able to start up and
|
|
to accept local postings even while the naming service is
|
|
down. For this reason, the mail system no longer uses
|
|
gethostbyname() to look up its own machine name. Sites
|
|
that use short hostnames will have to specify their FQDN
|
|
in main.cf (this will eventually be done by the system
|
|
installation/configuration procedure). Should the config
|
|
language support backticks so one can say `domainname`?
|
|
What about $name stuff between the backtics?
|
|
|
|
Security: the master now creates FIFOs and UNIX-domain
|
|
sockets as the mail owner instead of as root, for better
|
|
protection against subverted mail systems. chmod() is
|
|
susceptible to race conditions. fchmod(), although safer,
|
|
often does not work on sockets.
|
|
|
|
Portability: anticipate that all major UNIXes will create
|
|
UNIX-domain sockets with permissions modified by the process
|
|
umask (required by POSIX). For this reason, we always
|
|
chmod() UNIX-domain sockets, unless the system allows us
|
|
to use the safer fchmod() instead.
|
|
|
|
Portability: the semi-resident servers now properly handle
|
|
EWOULDBLOCK returns from accept() in addition to EGAIN
|
|
(on some systems, EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK have different
|
|
values).
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the semi-resident servers now properly handle EINTR
|
|
returns From accept().
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: Edwin Kremer found that mynetworks() would compute
|
|
(32 - mask) instead of mask.
|
|
|
|
19980121
|
|
|
|
Feature: /etc/vmailer/relocated is used by the local delivery
|
|
program and specifies what mail should be bounced with a
|
|
"user has moved to XXX" message. The main.cf configuration
|
|
parameter is "relocated_maps". Just like the "virtual_maps"
|
|
config parameter, this feature is off by default, and the
|
|
parameter can have values such as "files" or "files, nis"
|
|
(on hosts equipped with NIS).
|
|
|
|
19980123
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: virtual domain support moved from the queue manager
|
|
to the resolve service, where it belongs.
|
|
|
|
Feature: /etc/vmailer/canonical is used by the rewrite
|
|
service for all addresses, and maps a canonical address
|
|
(user@domain) to another address. Typical use is to generate
|
|
Firstname.Lastname@domain addresses, or to clean up dirty
|
|
addresses from non-RFC 822 mail systems. The main.cf
|
|
configuration parameter is "canonical_maps". Just like
|
|
the "virtual_maps" config parameter, this feature is off
|
|
by default, and the parameter can have values such as
|
|
"files" or "files, nis" (on hosts equipped with NIS).
|
|
|
|
19980124
|
|
|
|
HPUX10 port and many little fixes from Pieter Schoenmakers.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: isolated an old mysterious bug that could make the
|
|
master deaf for new connections while no child process was
|
|
running. A typical result was that no pickup daemon would
|
|
be started after the previous one had terminated voluntarily.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the NIS lookup code did not mystrdup() the NIS map
|
|
name and would access free()d memory.
|
|
|
|
19980125
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the vstream routines would sometimes ignore flushing
|
|
errors. The error would still be reported by vstream_fclose()
|
|
and vstream_ferror().
|
|
|
|
Feature: time limit on delivery to shell commands. Config
|
|
parameter: command_time_limit. Default value: 100 sec. The
|
|
idea is to prevent one bad .forward file or alias file
|
|
entry from slowly using up all local delivery process slots.
|
|
|
|
19980126
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: in preparation for SMTP extensions such as
|
|
SIZE, allow an extended SMTP command to have a variable
|
|
number of options.
|
|
|
|
19980127
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: moved canonical map lookups away from the rewriting
|
|
module to the cleanup service, so that canonical map lookups
|
|
do not interfere with address rewriting on behalf of other
|
|
programs. Back to an older trivial-rewrite program version.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: moved virtual map lookups away from the resolver
|
|
back to the queue manager, so that virtual domain lookup
|
|
does not interfere with address resolution on behalf of
|
|
other programs. Back to an older qmgr program version.
|
|
|
|
19980131
|
|
|
|
Feature: integrated and adapted Guido van Rooij's SIZE
|
|
option (RFC 1870), carefully avoiding potential problems
|
|
due to overflow (by multiplying large numbers) or unsigned
|
|
underflow (by subtracting numbers).
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: cleaned up the code that parses the server
|
|
response to the HELO/EHLO command, so that we can more
|
|
reliably recognize what options a server supports.
|
|
|
|
19980201
|
|
|
|
Portability: integrated the IRIX 6 port by Oved Ben-Aroya.
|
|
|
|
Portability: the software now figures out by itself if a
|
|
server should open its FIFO read-write or read-only, to
|
|
avoid getting stuck with a FIFO that stays readable forever.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the cleanup service would terminate with a fatal
|
|
vstream_fseek() error when the queue file was too large.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the cleanup service could be killed by a signal
|
|
when the queue file became too large.
|
|
|
|
19980203
|
|
|
|
Portability: some systems have statfs(), some have statvfs(),
|
|
and the relevant include files are in a different place on
|
|
almost every system.
|
|
|
|
Portability: the makedefs script now nukes the -O compiler
|
|
flag when building on AIX with IBM's own compiler...
|
|
|
|
19980204
|
|
|
|
Portability: HP-UX 9.x support by Pieter Schoenmakers.
|
|
|
|
Portability: added SYSV-style ulimit() file size limit
|
|
support for HP-UX 9.x.
|
|
|
|
Portability: added some #includes that appeared to be
|
|
missing according to the Digital UNIX cc compiler.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: sys_defs.h now correctly specifies NIS support for
|
|
LINUX2, HPUX9 and HPUX10.
|
|
|
|
Security: fixed a file descriptor leak in the local delivery
|
|
agent that could give shell commands access to the VMailer
|
|
IPC streams. This should not cause a vulnerability, given
|
|
the design and implementation of the mailer, but it would
|
|
be like asking for trouble.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the sendmail -B (body type) option did not take a
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
19980205
|
|
|
|
Bugfix (SUNOS5): should not have deleted the SVID_GETTOD
|
|
definition from util/sys_defs.h.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix (HPUX9): forgot to specify whether to use statfs()
|
|
or statvfs().
|
|
|
|
Bugfix (HPUX9): don't try to raise the file size ulimit.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix (HPUX9): must specify file size limit in 512-blocks.
|
|
|
|
19980207
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the master process now raises the file size
|
|
limit when it is started with a limit that is less than
|
|
VMailer's file size limit. File: util/file_limit.c.
|
|
|
|
Security: the dns lookup routines now screen all result
|
|
names with valid_hostname(). Bad names are treated as
|
|
transient errors.
|
|
|
|
Feature: qmail compatibility: when the home_mailbox parameter
|
|
is set, mail is delivered to ~/$home_mailbox instead of to
|
|
/var[/spool]/mail/username. This hopefully makes it easier
|
|
to lure people away from qmail :-)
|
|
|
|
Robustness: several testers by accident configured relayhost
|
|
the same as myhostname. The programs now explicitly check
|
|
for this mistake.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: deliver_request_read() would free unallocated memory
|
|
when it received an incomplete delivery request from the
|
|
queue manager.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: local_destination_concurrency=1 prevents parallel
|
|
delivery to the same user (with possibly disastrous effects
|
|
when that user has an expensive pipeline in the .forward
|
|
or procmail config file). Each transport can have its own
|
|
XXX_destination_concurrency parameter, to limit the number
|
|
of simultaneous deliveries to the same destination.
|
|
|
|
19980208
|
|
|
|
Robustness: added "slow open" mode, to gradually increase
|
|
the number of simultaneous connections to the same site as
|
|
long as delivery succeeds, and to gradually decrease the
|
|
number of connections while delivery fails. Brad Knowles
|
|
provided the inspiration to do this.
|
|
|
|
This also solves the "thundering herd" problem (making a
|
|
bunch of connections to a dead host when it was time to
|
|
retry that host). Let's see when other mailers fix this.
|
|
|
|
Feature: Added $smtpd_banner and $mail_version, for those
|
|
who want to show the world what software version they are
|
|
running.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: vmailer-script now properly labels each syslog
|
|
entry.
|
|
|
|
19980210
|
|
|
|
Portability: merged in NEXTSTEP 3 port from Pieter Schoenmakers
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the local delivery program now checks that a
|
|
destination is a regular file before locking it.
|
|
|
|
19980211
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the local delivery agent sets HOME, LOGNAME,
|
|
and SHELL when delivering to a user shell command. PATH is
|
|
always set, and TZ is passed through if it is set.
|
|
|
|
19980212
|
|
|
|
Feature: mailq (sendmail -bp) now also lists the maildrop
|
|
queue (with mail that hasn't been picked up yet).
|
|
|
|
19980213
|
|
|
|
Feature: the smtpd now says: 502 HELP not implemented. This
|
|
should impress the heck out of the competition :-)
|
|
|
|
19980214
|
|
|
|
Feature: local delivery to configurable system-wide command
|
|
(e.g. procmail) avoids the need for per-user ~/.forward
|
|
shell commands. Config parameter: mailbox_command.
|
|
|
|
19980215
|
|
|
|
Performance: avoid running a shell when a command contains
|
|
no shell magic characters or built-in shell commands. This
|
|
speeds up delivery to all commands. File: util/exec_command.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the local delivery agent, after reading EOF from
|
|
a child process, now sends SIGKILL only when the child does
|
|
not terminate within a limited amount of time. This avoids
|
|
some problems with procmail. File: util/timed_wait.c.
|
|
|
|
19980217
|
|
|
|
Portability: folded in NetInfo support from Pieter
|
|
Schoenmakers.
|
|
|
|
19980218
|
|
|
|
Feature: new vmlock command to run a command while keeping
|
|
an exclusive lock on a mailbox.
|
|
|
|
Feature: with "recipient_delimiter = +", mail for local
|
|
address "user+foo" is delivered to "foo", with a "Delivered-To:
|
|
user+foo@domain" message header. Files: qmgr/qmgr_message.c,
|
|
local/recipient.c. This must be the cheapest feature.
|
|
|
|
19980219
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: moved error handling into functions that
|
|
should always succeed (non_blocking(), close_on_exec()).
|
|
|
|
19980223
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: null pointer bug in the cleanup program after
|
|
processing a From: header with no mail address (or with
|
|
only a comment).
|
|
|
|
19980226
|
|
|
|
Robustness: now detects when getpwnam() returns a name that
|
|
differs from the requested name.
|
|
|
|
Feature: Added %p support to the vbuf_print formatting
|
|
module.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: revamped the alias/include/.forward loop
|
|
detection and duplicate suppression code in the local
|
|
delivery agent. This must be the fourth iteration, and
|
|
again the code has been simplified.
|
|
|
|
19980228
|
|
|
|
Robustness: don't treat anything starting with whitespace
|
|
as a header record. Instead, explicitly test for leading
|
|
whitespace where we permit it. Files: global/is_header.c,
|
|
bounce/bounce_flush_service.c, local/delivered.c.
|
|
|
|
19980301
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the sendmail program now accepts the -N
|
|
command-line option (delivery status notification) but
|
|
ignores it entirely, just like many other sendmail options.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: dns_lookup.c was too conservative with buffer sizes
|
|
and would incorrectly report "malformed name server reply".
|
|
|
|
19980302
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the local delivery agent was not null-byte clean.
|
|
|
|
19980307
|
|
|
|
Feature: integrated Pieter Schoenmaker's code for transport
|
|
lookup tables that list (transport, nexthop) by destination.
|
|
|
|
19980309
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: delivery agents no longer rename corrupt queue
|
|
files, because programs might fall over each other doing
|
|
so. Instead, when a delivery agent detects queue file
|
|
corruption, it chmods the queue file, simulates a soft
|
|
error, and lets the queue manager take care of the problem.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTP server implemented VRFY incorrectly.
|
|
|
|
Feature: first shot at a pipe mailer, which can be used to
|
|
extend VMailer with external mail transports such as UUCP
|
|
(provided that the remote site understands domain addressing,
|
|
because VMailer version 1 does not rewrite addresses).
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: extended the master/child interface so that the
|
|
service name (from master.cf) is passed on to the child.
|
|
The pipe mailer needs the service name so it can look up
|
|
service-specific configuration parameters (privilege level,
|
|
recipient limit, time limit, and so on).
|
|
|
|
19980310-12
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: factored out the pipe_command() code, so it can
|
|
be shared between pipe mailer and local delivery agent.
|
|
|
|
19980314
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the sendmail program now parses each
|
|
command-line recipient as if it were an RFC 822 message
|
|
header; some MUAs specify comma-separated recipients in a
|
|
command-line argument; and some MUAs even specify "word
|
|
word <address>" forms as command-line arguments.
|
|
|
|
19980315
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: VMailer's queue processing randomization wasn't
|
|
adequate for unloaded systems with small backlogs.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtpd now uses double-buffered stream I/O to prevent
|
|
loss of input sent ahead of responses.
|
|
|
|
19980316
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the smtpd anti-relay code didn't treat all hosts
|
|
listed in $mydestinations as local, so it would accept mail
|
|
only for hosts listed in $relay_domains (default: my own
|
|
domain).
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtpd now replies with 502 when given an unknown
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
19980318
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: resolve/rewrite clients now automatically disconnect
|
|
after a configurable amount of idle time (ipc_idle).
|
|
|
|
19980322
|
|
|
|
Tolerance: VRFY now permits user@domain, even though the
|
|
RFC requires that special characters such as @ be escaped.
|
|
|
|
19980325
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: a recipient delimiter of "-" could interfere with
|
|
special addresses such as owner-xxx or double-bounce.
|
|
|
|
Tolerance: the SMTP client now permits blank lines in SMTP
|
|
server responses.
|
|
|
|
Tolerance: the SMTP client now falls back to SMTP when it
|
|
apparently mistook an SMTP server as ESMTP capable.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: eliminated strtok() calls in favor of mystrtok().
|
|
Symptom: master.cf parsing would break if $inet_interfaces
|
|
was more than one word.
|
|
|
|
19980328
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: user->addr patterns in canonical and virtual tables
|
|
matched only $myorigin, not hosts listed in $mydestination
|
|
or addresses listed in $inet_interfaces. The man pages
|
|
were wrong too. File: global/addr_match.c.
|
|
|
|
19980401
|
|
|
|
Robustness: FIFO file permissions now default to 0622. On
|
|
some systems, opening a FIFO read-only could deafen the
|
|
pickup daemon. Only the listener end (which is opened as
|
|
root) needs read access anyway, so there should not be a
|
|
loss of functionality by making FIFOs non-readable for
|
|
non-mail processes.
|
|
|
|
19980402
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: sendmail -I and -c options added.
|
|
|
|
19980403
|
|
|
|
Feature: virtual lookups are now recursive. File:
|
|
qmgr/qmgr_message.c
|
|
|
|
19980405
|
|
|
|
Implemented sendmail -bs (stand-alone) mode. This mode runs
|
|
as the user and therefore deposits into the maildrop queue.
|
|
|
|
19980406
|
|
|
|
The pickup service now removes malformed maildrop files.
|
|
|
|
19980407
|
|
|
|
The pickup service now guards against maildrop files with
|
|
time stamps dated into the future.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Bugfix: in the canonical and virtual maps, foo->address
|
|
would match foo@$myorigin only. This has been fixed to also
|
|
match hosts listed in main.cf:$mydestination and the
|
|
addresses listed in main.cf:$inet_interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: added double buffering support to the VMailer SMTP
|
|
server. This makes the SMTP server robust against SMTP
|
|
clients that talk ahead of time, and should have been in
|
|
there from day one.
|
|
|
|
19980409
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the VMailer SMTP client now recognizes its own
|
|
hostname in the SMTP greeting banner only when that name
|
|
appears as the first word on the first line.
|
|
|
|
19980410
|
|
|
|
Feature: smtpd now logs the local queue ID along with the
|
|
client name/address, and pickup now logs the local queue
|
|
ID along with the message owner.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: still didn't do virtual/canonical lookups right
|
|
(code used the non-case-folded key instead of the case
|
|
folded one).
|
|
|
|
19980418
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTP server did not flush the "250 OK queued
|
|
as XXXX" message from the SMTP conversation history.
|
|
|
|
19980419
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: qmgr would not notice that a malformed message has
|
|
multiple senders, and would leak memory (Tom Ptacek).
|
|
|
|
19980421
|
|
|
|
Portability: in the mantools scripts, the expr pattern no
|
|
longer has ^ at the beginning, and the scripts now use the
|
|
expand program instead of my own detab utility.
|
|
|

19980425
|
|
|
|
NetBSD 1.x patch by Soren S. Jorvang.
|
|
|
|
19980511
|
|
|
|
Feature: the SMTP server now logs the protocol (SMTP or
|
|
ESMTP) as part of the Received: header.
|
|
|
|
Feature: smtpd now logs the last command when a session is
|
|
aborted due to timeout, unexpected EOF, or too many client
|
|
errors.
|
|
|
|
19980514
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the queue manager did not update the counter for
|
|
in-core message structures, so the in-core message limit
|
|
had no effect. This can be bad when you have a large backlog
|
|
with many messages eligible for delivery.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the queue manager now also limits the total
|
|
number of in-core recipient structures, so that it won't
|
|
use excessive amounts of memory on sites that have large
|
|
mailing lists.
|
|
|
|
19980518
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTP client did not notice that the DNS client
|
|
received a truncated response. As a result, a backup MX
|
|
host could incorrectly claim that it was the best MX host
|
|
and declare a mailer loop.
|
|
|
|
Added start_msg/stop_msg entries to the vmailer startup
|
|
script, for easy installation.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: VMailer databases are now explicitly specified as
|
|
type:name, for example, hash:/etc/aliases or nis:mail.aliases,
|
|
instead of implicitly as "files", "nis" and so on. Test
|
|
program: util/dict_open. This change allowed me to
|
|
eliminate a lot of redundant code from mkmap_xxx.c, and
|
|
from everything that does map lookups.
|
|
|
|
19980525
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: local/dotforward.c compared the result of opening
|
|
a user's ~/.forward against the wrong error value.
|
|
|
|
19980526
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the smtpd VRFY command could look at free()d memory.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the smtpd program had a fixed limit on the
|
|
number of token structures. The code now dynamically
|
|
allocates token structures.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the queue manager still used the deprecated parameter
|
|
name xxx_deliver_concurrency for concurrency control, but
|
|
the documentation talks about the preferred parameter name
|
|
xxx_destination_concurrency. Fix: try xxx_destination_concurrency
|
|
first, then fall back to xxx_deliver_concurrency.
|
|
|
|
19980621-19980702
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the string read routines now report the last
|
|
character read or VSTREAM_EOF. This change is necessary
|
|
for the implementation of the long SMTP line bugfix.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the smtp server exited the DATA command prematurely
|
|
when the client sent long lines. Reason: the smtp server
|
|
did not remember that it broke long lines, so that '.'
|
|
could appear to be the first character on a line when in
|
|
fact it wasn't.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the queue manager made lots of stupid errors while
|
|
reading $qmgr_message_recipient_limit chunks of recipients
|
|
from a queue file. This code has been restructured.
|
|
|
|
19980706
|
|
|
|
Performance: the cleanup program now always adds return-receipt
|
|
and errors-to records to a queue file, so that the queue
|
|
manager does not have to plow through huge lists of
|
|
recipients.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the initial destination concurrency now defaults
|
|
to 2, so that one bad message or one bad connection does
|
|
not stop all mail to a site. The configuration parameter
|
|
is called initial_destination_concurrency.
|
|
|
|
Performance: the per-message recipient limit is now enforced
|
|
by the queue manager instead of by the transport. Thus, a
|
|
large list of recipients for the same site is now mapped
|
|
onto several delivery requests which can be handled in
|
|
parallel, instead of being mapped onto one delivery request
|
|
that is sent to limited numbers of recipients, one group
|
|
after the other.
|
|
|
|
19980707
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the queue manager now does an additional recipient
|
|
sort after the recipients have been resolved, so that the
|
|
code can do better aggregation of recipients by next hop
|
|
destination.
|
|
|
|
Feature: lines in the master.cf file can now be continued
|
|
in the same manner as lines in the main.cf file, i.e. by
|
|
starting the next line with whitespace.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the smtp client now warns that a message may be
|
|
delivered multiple times when the response to "." is not
|
|
received (the problem described in RFC 1047).
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: when the queue manager changes its little mind
|
|
after contacting a delivery agent (for example, it decides
|
|
to skip the host because a transport or host goes bad),
|
|
the delivery agent no longer complains about premature EOF.
|
|
File: global/deliver_request.c
|
|
|
|
19980709
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: when breaking long lines, the SMTP client did not
|
|
escape leading dots in secondary etc. line fragments. Fix:
|
|
don't break lines. This change makes VMailer line-length
|
|
transparent. Files: global/smtp_stream.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c.
|
|
|
|
19980712
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the queue manager to deliver agent protocol now
|
|
distinguishes between domain-specific soft errors and
|
|
recipient-specific soft errors. Result: many soft errors
|
|
with SMTP delivery no longer affect other mail the same
|
|
domain.
|
|
|
|
19980713
|
|
|
|
Feature: the file modification time stamp of deferred queue
|
|
files is set to the nearest wakeup time of their recipient
|
|
hosts, or if delivery was deferred due to a non-host problem,
|
|
the time stamp is set into the future by the configurable
|
|
minimal backoff time.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTP client and the MAILQ command would report
|
|
as message size the total queue file size. That would
|
|
grossly overestimate the size of a message with many
|
|
recipients.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the 19980709 fix screwed up locally-posted mail
|
|
that didn't end in newline.
|
|
|
|
19980714
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the makedefs script now defaults to no optimization
|
|
when compiling for purify.
|
|
|
|
19980715
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the makedefs script now defaults to no optimization
|
|
when compiling with gcc 2.8, until this compiler is known
|
|
to be OK.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: when sending multiple messages over the same
|
|
SMTP connection, some SMTP servers need an RSET command
|
|
before the second etc. MAIL FROM command. The VMailer SMTP
|
|
client now sends a redundant RSET command just in case.
|
|
|
|
The queue manager now logs explicitly when delivery is
|
|
deferred because of a "dead" message transport.
|
|
|
|
19980716
|
|
|
|
Feature: mailq and mail bounces now finally report why mail
|
|
was deferred (the reason was logged to the syslog file
|
|
only). Changes were made to the bounce service (generalized
|
|
to be usable for defer logs), showq service (to show reasons)
|
|
and the queue manager.
|
|
|
|
As a result the defer directory (with one log per deferred
|
|
message) may contain many files; also, this directory is
|
|
accessed each time a message is let into the active queue,
|
|
in order to delete its old defer log. This means that hashed
|
|
directories are now a must.
|
|
|
|
19980718-20
|
|
|
|
Feature: configurable timeout for establishing smtp
|
|
connections. Parameter: smtp_connect_timeout (default 0,
|
|
which means use the timeout as wired into the kernel).
|
|
Inspired by code from Lamont Jones. For a clean but far
|
|
from trivial implementation, see util/timed_connect.c
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up the interfaces that implement read/write deadlines.
|
|
Instead of returning -2, the routines now set errno to
|
|
ETIMEDOUT; the readable/writable tests are now separate.
|
|
|
|
19980722
|
|
|
|
Feature: the default indexed file type (hash, btree, dbm)
|
|
is now configurable with the "database_type" parameter.
|
|
The default value for this parameter is system specific.
|
|
|
|
Feature: selectively turn on verbose logging for hosts that
|
|
match the patterns specified via the "debug_peer_list"
|
|
config parameter. Syntax is like the "bad_smtp_clients"
|
|
parameter (see global/peer_list.c). The verbose logging
|
|
level is specified with "debug_peer_level" (default 2).
|
|
|
|
Security: the local delivery agent no longer delivers to
|
|
files that have execute permission enabled.
|
|
|
|
19980723
|
|
|
|
Workarounds for Solaris 2.x UNIX-domain sockets: they lose
|
|
data when you close them immediately after writing to them.
|
|
This could screw up the delivery agent to queue manager
|
|
protocol.
|
|
|
|
19980724
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: spent most of the day cleaning up queue manager
|
|
code that defers mail when a site or transport dies, and
|
|
fixed a few obscure problems in the process.
|
|
|
|
19980726
|
|
|
|
Feature: the admin can now configure what classes of problems
|
|
result in mail to the postmaster. Configuration parameter:
|
|
"notify_classes". Default is backwards compatible: bounce,
|
|
policy, protocol, resource, and software.
|
|
|
|
19980726-28
|
|
|
|
Feature: the admin can now configure what smtp server access
|
|
control restrictions must be applied, and in what order.
|
|
Configuration parameters: smtpd_client_restrictions,
|
|
smtpd_helo_restrictions, smtpd_mail_restrictions and
|
|
smtpd_rcpt_restrictions. Defaults are intended to be
|
|
backwards compatible. The bad_senders and bad_clients lists
|
|
are gone and have become db (dbm, nis, etc) maps. Files:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd_check.c, config/main.cf.
|
|
|
|
19980729-31
|
|
|
|
Feature: hashed queues. Rewrote parts of the mail queue
|
|
API. Configuration parameters: "hash_queue_names" specifies
|
|
what queue directories will be hashed (default: the defer
|
|
log directory), "hash_queue_depth" specifies the number of
|
|
subdirectories used for hashing (default 2).
|
|
|
|
19980802
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the pipe mailer should expand command-line arguments
|
|
with $recipient once for every recipient (producing one
|
|
command-line argument per recipient), instead of replacing
|
|
$recipient by of all recipients (i.e. producing only one
|
|
command-line argument). This is required for compatibility
|
|
with programs that expect to be run from sendmail, such as
|
|
uux. Thanks to Ollivier Robert for helping me to get this
|
|
right.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: for the above, cleaned up the macro expansion
|
|
code in dict.c and factored out the parsing into a separate
|
|
module, mac_parse.c.
|
|
|
|
19980803
|
|
|
|
"|command" and /file/name destinations in alias databases
|
|
are now executed with the privileges of the database owner
|
|
(unless root or vmailer). Thus, with: "alias_maps =
|
|
hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/home/majordomo/aliases", and with
|
|
/home/majordomo/aliases* owned by the majordomo account,
|
|
you no longer need the majordomo set-uid wrapper program,
|
|
and you no longer need root privileges in order to install
|
|
a new mailing list.
|
|
|
|
19980804
|
|
|
|
Added support for the real-time blackhole list. Example:
|
|
"client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_maps_rbl"
|
|
|
|
All SMTP server "reject" status codes are now configurable:
|
|
unknown_client_reject_code, mynetworks_reject_code,
|
|
invalid_hostname_reject_code, unknown_hostname_reject_code,
|
|
unknown_address_reject_code, relay_domains_reject_code,
|
|
access_map_reject_code, maps_rbl_reject_code. Default values
|
|
are documented in the smtpd/smtpd_check.c man page.
|
|
|
|
19980806-8
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: after eye balling line-by line diffs, started
|
|
deleting code that duplicated functionality because it was
|
|
at the wrong abstraction level (smtp_trouble.c), moved
|
|
functionality that was in the wrong place (dictionary
|
|
reference counts in maps.c instead of dict.c), simplified
|
|
code that was too complex (password-file structure cache)
|
|
and fixed some code that was just wrong.
|
|
|
|
19980808
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the number of queue manager in-core structures
|
|
for dead hosts is limited; the limit scales with the limit
|
|
on the number of in-core recipient structures. The idea is
|
|
to not run out of memory under conditions of stress.
|
|
|
|
19980809
|
|
|
|
Feature: mail to files and commands can now be restricted
|
|
by class: alias, forward file or include file. The default
|
|
restrictions are: "allow_mail_to_files = alias, forward"
|
|
and allow_mail_to_commands = alias, forward". The idea is
|
|
to protect against buggy mailing list managers that allow
|
|
intruders to subscribe /file/name or "|command".
|
|
|
|
19980810-12
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: deleted a couple hundred lines of code from the
|
|
local delivery agent. It will never be a great program;
|
|
sendmail compatibility is asking a severe toll.
|
|
|
|
19980814
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: made the program shut up about some benign error
|
|
conditions that were reported by Daniel Eisenbud.
|
|
|
|
19980814-7
|
|
|
|
Documentation: made a start of HTML docs that describe all
|
|
configuration parameters.
|
|
|
|
Feature: while documenting things, added smtpd_helo_required.
|
|
|
|
19980817
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: at startup the queue manager now updates the time
|
|
stamps of active queue files some time into the future.
|
|
This eliminates duplicate deliveries after "vmailer reload".
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the local delivery agent now applies the recipient
|
|
delimiter after looking in the alias database, instead of
|
|
before.
|
|
|
|
Documentation bugfixes by Matt Shibla, Tom Limoncelli,
|
|
Eilon Gishri.
|
|
|
|
19980819
|
|
|
|
GLIBC fixes from Myrdraal.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: applied showq buffer reallocation workaround in
|
|
the wrong place.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: can't use shorts in varargs lists. SunOS 4 has
|
|
short uid_t and gid_t. pipe_command() would complain.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: can't use signed char in ctype macros. All ctype
|
|
arguments are now casted to unsigned char. Thanks, Casper
|
|
Dik.
|
|
|
|
19980820
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: save the alias lookup result before looking up the
|
|
owner. The previous alpha release did this right.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: mail_trigger() no longer complains when the trigger
|
|
FIFO or socket is unavailable. This change is necessary to
|
|
shut up the sendmail mail posting program, so that it can
|
|
be used on mail clients that mount their maildrop via NFS.
|
|
|
|
Experiment: pickup and pipe now run as vmailer most of the
|
|
time, and switch to user privileges only temporarily.
|
|
Files: util/set_eugid.c global/pipe_command.c pipe/pipe.c
|
|
pickup/pickup.c. Is this more secure/ What about someone
|
|
manipulating such a process while not root? It still has
|
|
ruid == 0.
|
|
|
|
19980822
|
|
|
|
Portability: with GNU make, commands such as "(false;true)"
|
|
and "while :; do false; done" don't fail. Workaround: use
|
|
"set -e" all over the place. Problem found by Jeff Wolfe.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "check_XXX_access maptype:mapname" (XXX = client,
|
|
helo, sender, recipient). Now you can make recipient and
|
|
other SPAM restrictions dependent on client or sender access
|
|
tables lookup results.
|
|
|
|
19980823
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtpd access table lookup keys were case sensitive.
|
|
|
|
Added "permit" and "reject" operators. These are useful at
|
|
the end of SPAM restriction lists (smtpd_XXX_restrictions).
|
|
|
|
Added a first implementation of the permit_mx_backup SPAM
|
|
restriction. This permits mail relaying to any domain that
|
|
lists this mail system as an MX host (including mail for
|
|
the local machine). Thanks to Ollivier Robert for useful
|
|
discussions.
|
|
|
|
19980824
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: transport table lookup keys were case sensitive.
|
|
|
|
19980825
|
|
|
|
Portability: sa_len is some ugly #define on some SGI systems,
|
|
so we must rename identifiers (file util/connect.c).
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: uucp delivery errors are now sent to the sender.
|
|
Thanks, Mark Delany.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the pipe delivery agent now replaces empty sender
|
|
by the mailer daemon address. Mark Delany, again.
|
|
|
|
Portability: GNU getopt looks at all command-line arguments.
|
|
Fix: insert -- into the pipe/uucp definition in master.cf.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the smtp server command tokenizer silently discarded
|
|
the [] around [text], so that HELO [x.x.x.x] was read as
|
|
if the client had sent: HELO x.x.x.x. Thanks, Peter Bivesand.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the HELO unknown hostname/bad hostname restrictions
|
|
would have treated [text] as a domain name anyway.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the $local_duplicate_filter_limit value was not
|
|
picked up by the local delivery agent. This means the local
|
|
delivery agent could run out of memory on large mailing
|
|
list deliveries.
|
|
|
|
19980826
|
|
|
|
Performance: mkmap/mkalias now run with the same speed as
|
|
sendmail. VMailer now uses a 4096-entry cache with 1 Mbyte
|
|
of memory for DB lookups. File: util/dict_db.c.
|
|
|
|
19980902
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the reject_unknown_hostname restriction for
|
|
HELO/EHLO hostnames will now permit names that have an MX
|
|
record instead of an A record.
|
|
|
|
19980903
|
|
|
|
Feature: appending @$myorigin to an unqualified address is
|
|
configurable with the boolean append_at_myorigin parameter
|
|
(default: yes).
|
|
|
|
Feature: appending .$mydomain to user@host is configurable
|
|
with the boolean append_dot_mydomain parameter (default:
|
|
yes).
|
|
|
|
Feature: site!user is rewritten to user@site, under control
|
|
of the boolean parameter swap_bangpath (default: yes).
|
|
|
|
Feature: permit a naked IP address in HELO commands (i.e.
|
|
an address without the enclosing [] as required by the
|
|
RFC), by specifying "permit_naked_ip_address" as one of
|
|
the restrictions in the "smtpd_helo_restrictions" config
|
|
parameter.
|
|
|
|
19980904
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: when an SMTP client aborts a session after
|
|
sending MAIL FROM, the cleanup service no longer warns that
|
|
it is "skipping further client input". Files: cleanup/*.c.
|
|
Thanks, Daniel Eisenbud, for prodding.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: when an SMTP server disconnects in the middle
|
|
of a session, don't try to send QUIT over the non-existing
|
|
connection. Files: global/smtp_stream.c, smtp/smtp.c.
|
|
Thanks, Daniel Eisenbud, for prodding, again.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: the VMailer version number has moved from
|
|
mail_params.h (which is included by lots of modules) to a
|
|
separate file global/mail_version.h, so that a version
|
|
change no longer results in massive recompilation.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: Errors-To was flagged as a sender address, so the
|
|
address never was picked up.
|
|

Code cleanup: support for Errors-To: headers completed.
|
|
|
|
19980905
|
|
|
|
Feature: per-message exponential delivery backoff, by
|
|
looking at the amount of time a message has been queued.
|
|
Thanks, Mark Delany.
|
|
|
|
19980906
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: ripped out the per-host exponential backoff
|
|
code. It was broken by 19980818. It was probably a bad idea
|
|
anyway, because it required per-host, in-core, state kept
|
|
by the queue manager. All we do now is to keep state for
|
|
$minimal_backoff_time seconds, but only for a limited number
|
|
of hosts. Daniel Eisenbud spotted the problem.
|
|
|
|
Lost feature: the SMTP session transcripts now show who
|
|
said what. This feature was inadvertently dropped during
|
|
development. Thanks, Daniel Eisenbud, for reminding.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: the hard-coded rewriting process of the
|
|
trivial-rewrite program is described in html/rewrite.html.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the local delivery agent now does alias lookups
|
|
before and after chopping off the recipient subaddress.
|
|
This allows you to forward user-anything to another user,
|
|
without losing the ability to redirect specific user-foo
|
|
addresses.
|
|
|
|
19980909
|
|
|
|
Feature: the smtp client now logs a warning that a server
|
|
sends a greeting banner with the client's hostname, which
|
|
could imply a mailer loop.
|
|
|
|
19980910
|
|
|
|
Feature: separate canonical maps for sender and recipient
|
|
address rewriting, so that you can rewrite an ugly sender
|
|
address and still forward mail to that same ugly address
|
|
without creating a mailer loop. Files: cleanup_envelope.c,
|
|
cleanup_message.c, cleanup_rewrite.c.
|
|
|
|
19980911
|
|
|
|
Feature: virtual maps now support multiple addresses on
|
|
the right-hand side. In the case of virtual domains this
|
|
can eliminate the need for address expansion via local
|
|
aliases, making virtual domains much easier to administer.
|
|
This required that I moved the virtual table lookups from
|
|
the queue manager to the cleanup service, so that every
|
|
recipient has an on-disk status record. Files: qmgr.c,
|
|
qmgr_message.c, cleanup_envelope.c, cleanup_rewrite.c,
|
|
cleanup_virtual.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: sendmail/mailq/newaliases pass on the -v flag to
|
|
the program that they end up running, to make debugging a
|
|
little easier.
|
|
|
|
19980914
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: some anti-spam measures didn't recognize some
|
|
addresses as local and would do too much work. File:
|
|
smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the smtp sender/recipient table lookup restriction
|
|
destroyed global data, so that other restrictions could
|
|
break. File: smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: after vmailer reload, single-threaded servers could
|
|
exit before flushing unwritten data to the client. Example:
|
|
cleanup would exit before acking success to pickup, so the
|
|
message would be delivered twice. Bug reported by Brian
|
|
Candler.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: removed spurious error output from vmailer-script.
|
|
Reported by Brian Candler.
|
|
|
|
Tolerance: ignore non-numeric SMTP server responses. There's
|
|
lot of brain damage out there on the net.
|
|
|
|
19980915
|
|
|
|
Feature: the smtp-sink benchmark tool now announces itself
|
|
with a neutral name so that it can be run on the same
|
|
machine as VMailer, without causing Postfix to complain
|
|
about a mailer loop.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: on LINUX, vmailer-script now does chattr +S to
|
|
force synchronous directory updates. Fix developed with
|
|
Chris Wedgwood.
|
|
|
|
19980916
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: when transforming an RFC 822 address to external
|
|
form, there is no need to quote " characters in comments.
|
|
This didn't break anything, it just looked ugly. File:
|
|
global/tok822_parse.c
|
|
|
|
19980917
|
|
|
|
Workaround: with deliveries to /file/name, use fsync() and
|
|
ftruncate() only on regular files. File: local/file.c
|
|
|
|
Workaround: the plumbing code in master_spawn.c didn't
|
|
check if it was dup2()/close()ing a descriptor to itself
|
|
then closing it. Will have to redo the plumbing later.
|
|
|
|
19980918
|
|
|
|
Workaround: on multiprocessor Solaris machines, one-second
|
|
rollover appears to happen on different CPUs at slightly
|
|
different times. Made the queue manager more tolerant for
|
|
such things. Problem reported by Daniel Eisenbud.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: in preparation for deployment with a network-shared
|
|
maildrop directory. make pickup more tolerant against clock
|
|
drift between clients and servers.
|
|
|
|
19980921
|
|
|
|
New vstream_popen() module that opens a two-way channel
|
|
across a socketpair-based pipe. This module isn't being
|
|
used yet; it is here only to complete the vstream code.
|
|
|
|
19980922
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: the xxx_server_main() interface for master
|
|
child processes now uses a name-value argument list instead
|
|
of an ugly and inflexible data structure.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: moved the test if a non-interactive process is run
|
|
by hand, so that the "don't do this" error message can be
|
|
printed to stderr before any significant processing.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtpd now can talk to unix-domain sockets without
|
|
bailing out on a peer lookup problem. Files: smtpd/smtpd.c,
|
|
util/peer_name.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: by default, the postmaster is no longer informed
|
|
of protocol problems, policy violations or bounces.
|
|
|
|
Safety: the SMTP server now sleeps before sending a [45]xx
|
|
error response, in order to prevent clients from hammering
|
|
the server with a connect/error/disconnect loop. Parameter:
|
|
smtpd_error_sleep_time (default: 5).
|
|
|
|
Feature: the logging facility is compile-time configurable
|
|
(e.g., make makefiles "CCARGS=-DLOG_FACILITY=LOG_LOCAL1").
|
|
|
|
19980923
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: changed virtual/canonical map search order from
|
|
(user@domain, @domain, user) to (user@domain, user, @domain)
|
|
so the search order is most specific to least specific.
|
|
File: global/addr_map.c, lots of documentation.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: after the change of 19980910, cleanup_message
|
|
extracted recipients from Reply-To: etc. headers. Found
|
|
by Lamont Jones.
|
|
|
|
19980925
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the change in virtual/canonical map search order
|
|
broke @domain entries; they would never be looked up if
|
|
the address matched $myorigin or $mydestinations. Found by
|
|
Chip Christian who now regrets asking for the change.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: cleanup initialized an error mask incorrectly, so
|
|
that it would keep writing to a file larger than the queue
|
|
file size limit, and so it would treat the error as a
|
|
recoverable one instead of sending a bounce. Thanks, Pieter
|
|
Schoenmakers.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the "queue file cleanup on fatal error" action was
|
|
no longer enabled in the sendmail mail posting agent.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the sendmail mail posting program now returns
|
|
EX_UNAVAILABLE when the size of the input exceeds the queue
|
|
file size limit. NB THIS CHANGE HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.
|
|
|
|
19980926
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: the dotlock file locking routine is no longer
|
|
derived from Eric Allman's 4.3BSD port of mail.local.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: the retry strategy of the file locking routines
|
|
dot_lockfile() and deliver_flock() is now configurable
|
|
(deliver_flock_attempts, deliver_flock_delay, deliver_flock_stale).
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: the master.pid lock file is now created with
|
|
symlink paranoia, and is properly locked so that PID rollover
|
|
will not cause false matches.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the vbuf_print() formatting engine did not know
|
|
about the '+' format specifier.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: replaced unnecessary instances of stdio calls by
|
|
vstream ones.
|
|
|
|
19980929-19981002
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: added support for "sendmail -q". This required
|
|
a change to the queue manager trigger protocol, and a code
|
|
reorganization of the way queue scans were done. The queue
|
|
manager socket now has become public.
|
|
|
|
19981002
|
|
|
|
SMTPD now logs "lost connection after end-of-message"
|
|
instead of "lost connection after DATA".
|
|
|
|
19981005
|
|
|
|
More bullet proofing: timeouts on all triggers.
|
|
|
|
19981006
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: make the number of cleanup processes unlimited, in
|
|
order to avoid deadlock. The number of instances needed is
|
|
one per smtp/pickup process, and an indeterminate number
|
|
per local delivery agent. Thanks, Thanks, David Miller and
|
|
Terry Lorrah for cleueing me in.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: "sendmail -t" extracted recipients weren't subjected
|
|
to virtual mapping. Daniel Eisenbud strikes again.
|
|
|
|
19981007
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: if the first input line ends in CRLF, the
|
|
sendmail posting agent will treat all CRLF as LF. Otherwise,
|
|
CRLF is left alone. This is a compromise between sendmail
|
|
compatibility (all lines end in CRLF) and binary transparency
|
|
(some, but not all, lines contain CRLF).
|
|
|
|
19981008
|
|
|
|
Robustness: stop recursive virtual expansion when the
|
|
left-hand side appears in its own expansion.
|
|
|
|
19981009
|
|
|
|
Portability: trigger servers such as pickup and qmgr can
|
|
now use either FIFOs or UNIX-domain sockets; hopefully at
|
|
least one of them works properly. Trigger clients were
|
|
already capable of using either form of local IPC.
|
|
|
|
19981011
|
|
|
|
Feature: masquerading. Strip subdomains from domains listed
|
|
in $masquerade_domains. Exception: envelope recipients are
|
|
left alone, in order to not screw up routing.
|
|
|
|
19981015
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: moved the recipient duplicate filter from
|
|
the user-level sendmail posting agent to the semi-resident
|
|
cleanup service, so that the filter operates on the output
|
|
from address canonicalization and of virtual expansion,
|
|
instead of operating on their inputs.
|
|
|
|
19981016
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: after kill()ing a bunch of child processes, wait()
|
|
sometimes fails before all children have been reaped, and
|
|
must be called again, or the master will SIGSEGV later.
|
|
Problem reported by Scott Cotton.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: don't log a complaint when an SMTP client goes
|
|
away without sending QUIT.
|
|
|
|
19981018
|
|
|
|
Workaround: Solaris 2.5 ioctl SIOCGIFCONF returns a hard
|
|
error (EINVAL) when the result buffer is not large enough.
|
|
This can happen on systems with many real or virtual
|
|
interfaces. File: util/inet_addr_local.c. Problem reported
|
|
by Scott Cotton.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: the optional HELO/EHLO hostname syntax check
|
|
now allows a single trailing dot.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: with UNIX-domain sockets, LINUX connect() blocks
|
|
until the server calls accept(). File: qmgr/qmgr_transport.c.
|
|
Terry Lorrah and Scott Cotton provided the necessary
|
|
evidence.
|
|
|
|
19981020
|
|
|
|
Robustness: recursive canonical mapping terminates when
|
|
the result stops changing.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: reorganized the address rewriting and mapping
|
|
code in the cleanup service, to make it easier to implement
|
|
the previous enhancement.
|
|
|
|
19981022
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: more general queue scanning programming
|
|
interface, in preparation for hashed queues. File:
|
|
qmgr/qmgr_scan.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: a non-FIFO server with a process limit of 1 has a
|
|
too short listen queue. Until now this was not a problem
|
|
because only FIFO servers had a process limit of 1, and
|
|
FIFOs have no listen queue. Fix: always configure a listen
|
|
queue of proc_limit or more. File: master/master_listen.c.
|
|
|
|
19981023
|
|
|
|
Feature: by popular request, mail delay is logged when
|
|
delivering, bouncing or deferring mail.
|
|
|
|
19981024
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: double-bounce mail is now absorbed by the queue
|
|
manager, instead of the local delivery agent, so that the
|
|
mail system will not go mad when no local delivery agent
|
|
is configured.
|
|
|
|
19981025
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: moved the relocated table from the local delivery
|
|
agent to the queue manager, so that the table can also be
|
|
used for virtual addresses.
|
|
|
|
Code reorg: in order for the queue manager to absorb
|
|
recipients, the queue file has to stay open until all
|
|
recipients have been assigned to a destination queue.
|
|
|
|
19981026
|
|
|
|
vmlogger command, so that vmailer-script logging becomes
|
|
consistent with the rest of the VMailer system.
|
|
|
|
Code reorg: logger interface now can handle multiple output
|
|
handlers (e.g. syslog and stderr stream).
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: a first line starting with whitespace is no longer
|
|
treated as an extension of our own Received: header. Files:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd.c, pickup/pickup.c.
|
|
|
|
19981027
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the bang-path swapping code went into a loop on an
|
|
address consisting of just a single !. Eilon Gishri had
|
|
the privilege of finding this one.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: the non-blocking UNIX-domain socket connect is
|
|
now enabled only on systems that need it. It may cause
|
|
kernel trouble on Solaris 2.x.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the resolver didn't implement bangpath swapping,
|
|
so that mail for site!user@mydomain would be delivered to
|
|
a local user named "site!user".
|
|
|
|
19981028
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: a VSTREAM can now use different file descriptors
|
|
for reading and writing. This was necessary to prevent
|
|
"sendmail -bs" and showq from writing to stdin. Eilon Gishri
|
|
observed the problem.
|
|
|
|
19981029
|
|
|
|
The RFC 822 address manipulation routines no longer give
|
|
special attention to 8-bit data. Files: global/tok822_parse.c,
|
|
global/quote_822_local.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: host:port and other non-domain stuff is no longer
|
|
allowed in mail addresses. File: qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: LINUX accept() wakes up before the three-way
|
|
handshake is complete, so it can fail with ECONNRESET.
|
|
Files: master/single_server.c, master/multi_server.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: when delivering to user+foo, try ~user/.forward+foo
|
|
before trying ~user/.forward.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtpd in "sendmail -bs" (stand-alone) mode didn't
|
|
clean up when terminated by a signal.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtpd in "sendmail -bs" (stand-alone) mode should
|
|
not try to enforce spam controls because it cannot access
|
|
the address rewriting machinery.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the percent hack (user%domain -> user@domain) is
|
|
now configurable (allow_percent_hack, default: yes).
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: daemons in -S (stand-alone) mode didn't change
|
|
directory to the queue. This was no problem with daemons
|
|
run by the sendmail compatibility program.
|
|
|
|
19981030
|
|
|
|
Feature: when virtual/canonical/relocated lookup fails for
|
|
an address that contains the optional recipient delimiter
|
|
(e.g., user+foo@domain), the search is done again with the
|
|
unextended address (e.g., user@domain). File: global/addr_find.c.
|
|
|
|
Code reorg: the address searching is now implemented by a
|
|
separate module global/addr_find.c, so that the same code
|
|
can be used for both (non-mapping) relocated table lookups
|
|
and for canonical and virtual mapping. The actual mapping
|
|
is still done in the global/addr_map.c module.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the SMTP client now skips hosts that don't send
|
|
greeting banner text. File: smtp/smtp_connect.c
|
|
|
|
Feature: preliminary support to disable delivered-to. This
|
|
is desirable for mailing list managers that don't want to
|
|
advertise internal aliases.
|
|
|
|
Generic support: when the recipient_feature_delimiter
|
|
configuration parameter is set, the local delivery agent
|
|
uses it to split the recipient localpart into fields. Any
|
|
field that has a known name such as "nodelivered" enables
|
|
the corresponding delivery feature.
|
|
|
|
19981031
|
|
|
|
Code reorg: address splitting on recipient delimiter is
|
|
now centralized in global/split_addr.c, which knows about
|
|
all reserved names that should never be split.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: when a request for an internal service cannot
|
|
be satisfied because the master has terminated, terminate
|
|
instead of trying to reach the service every 30 seconds.
|
|
|
|
Safety: the local delivery agent now runs as vmailer most
|
|
of the time, just like pickup and pipe. Files: local/local.c,
|
|
local/mailbox.c
|
|
|
|
19981101
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the tokenizer for alias/forward/etc.
|
|
expansion now updates an optional counter with the number
|
|
of destinations found; If no destinations is found in a
|
|
.forward file, deliver to the mailbox instead. Thanks,
|
|
Daniel Eisenbud, for showing the way to go.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the pickup daemon should always include a
|
|
posting-time record, even when the sendmail posting agent
|
|
didn't. However, just like before, user-provided posting
|
|
times will be ignored. Ollivier Robert found this one.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: duplicate entries in aliases or maps now cause
|
|
a warning instead of a fatal error (and an incomplete file).
|
|
|
|
Robustness: mkmap now prints a warning when an entry is in
|
|
"key: value" format, which is the format expected for alias
|
|
databases, not for maps.
|
|
|
|
Portability: on LINUX, prepend "+" to the getopt() options
|
|
string so that getopt() will stop at the first non-option
|
|
argument. Suggestion by Marco d'Itri.
|
|
|
|
19981103
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up the set_eugid() and open_as() implementations,
|
|
and added stat_as() and fstat_as() so that the local delivery
|
|
agent would look up include files and .forward files with
|
|
the right privileges.
|
|
|
|
19981104
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the :include: routine now stat()s/open()s files
|
|
included by root-owned aliases as root, not as nobody.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the master crashed when a service with wakeup timer
|
|
was disabled or renamed. Fix: eliminate some pathological
|
|
coupling between process management and wakeup management.
|
|
|
|
Feature: partial implementation of ETRN (causes a full
|
|
deferred queue scan). Thanks Lamont Jones for reminding me
|
|
that things can be useful already before they are perfect.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: simplified the SMTPD tokenizer.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: sendmail -bs didn't properly notify the mail system
|
|
of new mail.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands now accept
|
|
the most common address forms without enclosing <>. The <>
|
|
is still needed for addresses that contain a "string", an
|
|
[address], or a colon (:).
|
|
|
|
19981105
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: "master -t" would claim that the master runs when
|
|
in fact the pid directory does not exist, causing trouble
|
|
with first time startup (reported by several).
|
|
|
|
Portability: added a sane_accept() module that maps all
|
|
beneficial accept() error results to EAGAIN. According to
|
|
private communication with Alan Cox, Linux 2.0.x accept()
|
|
can return a variety of error conditions, so we play safe
|
|
and allow for any error that may happen because SYN+ACK
|
|
could not be sent.
|
|
|
|
Portability: NETBSD1 uses dotlock files (Perry Metzger).
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the local delivery agent did not canonicalize
|
|
owner-foo sender addresses, so that local users would see
|
|
owner-foo instead of owner-foo@$myorigin (Perry Metzger).
|
|
|
|
OPENSTEP4 support, similar to NEXTSTEP3 (Gerben Wierda).
|
|
|
|
19981106
|
|
|
|
Portability: the master startup would take a long time on
|
|
AIX because AIX has a very large per-process open file
|
|
limit. Fix is to check the status of only the first couple
|
|
hundred file descriptors instead. File: master/master.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: mail to user@[net.work.addr.ess] was broken because
|
|
of a reversed test. File: qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
19981107
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: don't clobber the envelope sender address
|
|
when an alias has no owner-foo alias (problem diagnosed by
|
|
Christophe Kalt).
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: mail to local users in include files would be
|
|
delivered directly if the alias didn't have an owner-foo
|
|
alias, and if the alias database and include file were
|
|
owned by root.
|
|
|
|
Feature: with user+foo addresses, any +foo address extension
|
|
that is not explicitly matched in canonical, virtual or
|
|
alias databases is propagated to the table lookup result.
|
|
|
|
19981108
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: minor memory leak in the user+foo table lookup
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
Configurability: specify virtual.domain in the virtual map,
|
|
and mail for unknown@virtual.domain will bounce automatically.
|
|
The $relay_domains default value now includes $virtual_maps,
|
|
so the SMTP server will accept mail for the domain. Marco
|
|
d'Itri put me on the right track.
|
|
|
|
Configurability: The mydestinations configuration parameter
|
|
now accepts /file/name expressions and type:name lookup
|
|
tables.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: in order to make the previous two enhancements
|
|
possible, revised the string/host/address matching engine
|
|
so it can handle any mixture of strings, /file/name patterns
|
|
and type:name lookup tables. Files: util/match_{list,ops}.c,
|
|
global/{domain,namadr,string}_list.c.
|
|
|
|
19981110
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: replaced remaining isxxx() calls by ISXXX().
|
|
|
|
19981111
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the "bounce unknown virtual user" code was in the
|
|
wrong place. Problem tackled with help of Chip Christian.
|
|
|
|
Portability: reportedly, Solaris 2.5.1 can hang waiting
|
|
for a UNIX-domain connection to be accepted, so it gets
|
|
the same workaround that was designed for LINUX. Problem
|
|
reported by Scott Cotton.
|
|
|
|
19981112
|
|
|
|
Management: "vmailer stop" now allows delivery agents to
|
|
finish what they are doing, like "vmailer reload".
|
|
|
|
Management; "vmailer abort" causes immediate termination.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: zombie processes pile up with HP-UX. Reason:
|
|
select() does not return upon SIGCHLD when SA_RESTART is
|
|
specified to sigaction(). Workaround: shorten the select()
|
|
timer to 10 seconds, #ifdef BRAINDEAD_SELECT_RESTARTS.
|
|
Thanks, Lamont Jones.

|
|
Rename: VMailer is now Postfix. Sigh.
|
|
|
|
19981118
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: generalized the safe_open() routine so that it is
|
|
no longer limited to mailbox files, lock files, etc.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix (found during code review): vstream*printf() could
|
|
run off the end of a stream buffer after an I/O error,
|
|
because vbuf_print() ignored the result from VBUF_SPACE().
|
|
|
|
Bugfix (found during code review): resolve_local() could
|
|
clobber its argument, but the docs didn't say so.
|
|
|
|
19981121
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the is_header() routine now allows 8-bit data in
|
|
header labels.
|
|
|
|
19981123
|
|
|
|
Bugfix (found during code review): the mail_queue_enter()
|
|
path argument wasn't optional. File: global/mail_queue.c
|
|
|
|
19981124
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: eliminated redundant tests for a zero result from
|
|
vstream_fdopen(). Unlike the stdio fdopen() routine, the
|
|
vstream_fdopen() routine either succeeds or never returns.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the queue manager now looks at the clock before
|
|
examining a file time stamp, to avoid spurious complaints
|
|
about time warps on busy machines. File: qmgr/qmgr_active.c.
|
|
|
|
19981125
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: allow trailing dot at the end of user@domain.
|
|
Address canonicalization now strips it off. Issue brought
|
|
forward by Eilon Gishri. File: trivial-rewrite/rewrite.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: changed DNS lookup order of MAIL FROM etc.
|
|
domains from MX then A to A then MX, just in case the MX
|
|
lookup fails with a server error.
|
|
|
|
Renamed vmcat, vmlock, vmlogger, vmtrigger to postcat,
|
|
postlock, postlog, postkick. Also renamed mkmap and mkalias
|
|
to postmap and postalias.
|
|
|
|
19981126
|
|
|
|
Workaround: Lamont Jones found a way for HP-UX to terminate
|
|
select() after SIGCHLD. The code is #ifdef USE_SIG_RETURN.
|
|
Files: util/sys_defs.h, master/master_sig.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the Delivered-To: loop detection code had stopped
|
|
working, when long ago the is_header() routine was changed.
|
|
File: local/delivered.c.
|
|
|
|
19981128
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: postcat opened queue files read-write, where only
|
|
read access was needed. File: postcat/postcat.c.
|
|
|
|
19981129
|
|
|
|
Safety: added a sleep(1) to all fatal and panic exits.
|
|
File: util/msg.c.
|
|
|
|
19981201
|
|
|
|
Robustness: postcat now insists that a file starts with a
|
|
time record.
|
|
|
|
Consistency: added "-c config_dir" command-line options
|
|
where appropriate.

Separated the contributed tree from the IBM code; moved

Portability: with GNU getopt, optind is not initially 1,
|
|
breaking an assumption in sendmail/sendmail.c. Liviu Daia.
|
|
|
|
Annoyance: on non-networked systems, don't warn that only
|
|
one network interface was found. File: global/inet_addr_local.c.
|
|
Reported by several.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: on non-networked systems, the smtp client assumed
|
|
that it was running in virtual host mode, and would bind
|
|
to the loopback interface. File smtp/smtp_connect.c. Liviu
|
|
Daia, again.
|
|

|
Robustness: when looking up an A or MX record, do not give
|
|
up when the A query fails because of a server error. File
|
|
dns/dns_lookup.c. Reported by Scott Drassinower.
|
|
|
|
19981221
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: "bounce mail for non-existent virtual user" didn't
|
|
work when a non-default relay host was configured in main.cf
|
|
or in the transport table. File: qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the maildrop directory should not be world-readable.
|
|
Files: conf/postfix-script, showq/showq.c.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: fixed several omissions and errors.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: removed references to the broken recipient
|
|
feature delimiter configuration parameter.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: write mailbox file as the recipient, so that file
|
|
quota work as expected.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: pickup would die when it tried to remove a non-file
|
|
in the maildrop directory (Jeff Wolfe).
|
|
|
|
19981222
|
|
|
|
Sendmail no longer logs the queue ID when it is unable to
|
|
notify the pickup daemon. This is a late addition to the
|
|
"unreadable maildrop queue" patch.
|
|
|
|
user.lock files are now created as root, so that postfix
|
|
needs no group directory write permission.
|
|
|
|
19981224
|
|
|
|
Security: allow queue file link counts > 1, to avoid
|
|
non-delivery of maildrop files with links to a non-maildrop
|
|
directory. Files: global/mail_open_ok.c, and anything
|
|
that calls this code (qmgr, pickup, showq). If multiple
|
|
hard links are a problem, see the set-gid "postdrop" utility
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
19981225
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the queue manager no longer aborts when a queue
|
|
file suddenly disappears (e.g. because the file was removed
|
|
by hand).
|
|
|
|
Feature: when a writable maildrop directory is a problem,
|
|
sites can make the new "postdrop" utility set-gid. This
|
|
command is never used when the maildrop directory is
|
|
world-writable.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: make the queue file creation routine more
|
|
resistant against denial of service race attack. File:
|
|
global/mail_queue.c
|
|
|
|
19981226
|
|
|
|
New suid_priv module to enable/disable privileges in a
|
|
set-uid/gid program. In the end I decided to not use it.
|
|
|
|
19981228
|
|
|
|
Robustness: make the pickup daemon more resistant against
|
|
non-file race attack.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: generic mail_stream.c interface for writing queue
|
|
file streams to files, daemons or commands. This simplifies
|
|
the code in smtpd and in sendmail that must be able to pipe
|
|
mail through the postdrop command. The cleanup daemon has
|
|
been modified to use the same interface. Result: less code.
|
|
|
|
Feature: smtpd now logs the only recipient in Received:
|
|
headers.
|
|
|
|
Feature: separate command and daemon directories. Both
|
|
default to $program_directory. Install conf/postfix-script
|
|
if you want to use this feature.

Portability: port to UnixWare 7 by Ronald Joe Record, SCO.
|
|
|
|
19990104
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: fencepost (Jon Ribbens, Oaktree Internet Solutions
|
|
Ltd.) Files: quote_82[12]_local.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: wrong default for relay_domains (Juergen Kirschbaum,
|
|
Bayerische Landesbank). File: mail_params.h.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: changed 5xx response for "too may recipients" to
|
|
4xx. File: smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
19990106
|
|
|
|
Feature: defer_transports specifies the names of transports
|
|
that should be used only when "sendmail -q" (or equivalent)
|
|
is issued. For example, "defer_transports = smtp" is useful
|
|
for sites that are disconnected most of the time. File:
|
|
qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
19990107
|
|
|
|
Feature: local_command_shell specifies a non-default shell
|
|
for delivery to command by the local delivery agent. For
|
|
example, "local_command_shell = /some/where/smrsh -c"
|
|
restricts what may appear in "|command" destinations.
|
|
File: global/pipe_command.c.

Feature: SMTP command pipelining support based on an initial
|
|
version by Jon Ribbens, Oaktree Internet Solutions Ltd.
|
|
This one took several days of massaging before I felt
|
|
comfortable about it. Files: smtp.c, smtp_proto.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTP server would flush responses one-by-one,
|
|
which caused suboptimal performance with pipelined clients.
|
|
The vstream routines now flush the write buffer when the
|
|
read() routine is called, instead of flushing when the
|
|
application changes from writing to reading. Delayed flush
|
|
prevents the SMTP server from flushing responses one-by-one
|
|
and thus triggering Nagle's algorithm. File: util/vstream.c.

Bugfixes and enhancements to the smtpstone tools by Drew
|
|
Derbyshire, Kendra Electronic Wonderworks: send helo command,
|
|
send message headers, format the message content to lines
|
|
< 80, work around NT stacks, make "." recognition more
|
|
robust. Files: smtp-source.c, smtp-sink.c.
|
|
|
|
Strategy: look at the deferred queue only when the incoming
|
|
queue is empty; limit the number of recipients read from
|
|
a queue file depending on the number of recipients already
|
|
in core. Files: qmgr.c, qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: postponed anti-UCE restrictions. The decision to
|
|
reject junk mail on the basis of the client name/address,
|
|
HELO hostname or sender address can now be postponed until
|
|
the RCPT TO command (or HELO or MAIL FROM if you like).
|
|
File: smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
19990118
|
|
|
|
Feature: incremental updates of alias databases and of
|
|
other lookup tables. Both postalias and postmap now take
|
|
a -i option for incremental updates from standard input.
|
|
Files: global/mkmap_*.c, post{map,alias}/post{map,alias}.c.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: newaliases can now update multiple alias
|
|
databases: list them in the "alias_database" parameter in
|
|
main.cf. By the same token, postalias can now update multiple
|
|
maps in one command. Files: post{map,alias}/post{map,alias}.c
|
|
|
|
Feature: mail to <> is now sent to the address specified
|
|
with the "empty_address_recipient" configuration parameter
|
|
which defaults to MAILER-DAEMON (idea by Lamont Jones,
|
|
Hewlett-Packard). File: cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the transport table now uses .domain.name
|
|
to match subdomains, just like sendmail mailer tables (patch
|
|
by Lamont Jones, Hewlett-Packard).
|
|
|
|
Feature: mailq now ends with a total queue size summary
|
|
(Eilon Gishri, Israel Inter University Computation Center).
|
|
|
|
19990119
|
|
|
|
Feature: address masquerade exceptions for user names listed
|
|
in the "masquerade_exceptions" configuration parameter.
|
|
File: cleanup/cleanup_masquerade.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: qmail-style maildir support, based on initial code
|
|
by Kevin W. Brown, Quantum Internet Services Inc.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: Solaris 2.something connect() fails with
|
|
ECONNREFUSED when the system is busy (Chris Cappuccio,
|
|
Empire Net). File: global/mail_connect.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the cleanup service now adds a Return-Path: header
|
|
when none is present. This header is needed for some mail
|
|
delivery programs (see below). File: cleanup_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the pipe mailer now supports $user, $extension
|
|
and $mailbox macros in command-line expansions. This, plus
|
|
the Return-Path: header (see above), should be sufficient
|
|
to support cyrus IMAP out of the box. Based on initial
|
|
code by Joerg Henne, Cogito Informationssysteme GMBH.
|
|
File: pipe/pipe.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: with address extensions enabled, canonical and
|
|
virtual lookups now are done in the proper order:
|
|
user+foo@domain, user@domain, user+foo, user, @domain.
|
|
File: global/mail_addr_find.c.
|
|
|
|
19990119
|
|
|
|
Feature: the local mailer now prepends a Received: message
|
|
header with the queue ID to forwarded mail, in order to
|
|
make message tracing easier. File: local/forward.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: after "postfix reload", no more broken pipe
|
|
complaints from resolve/rewrite clients.
|
|
|
|
19990121
|
|
|
|
Feature: pickup (again) logs uid and sender address. On
|
|
repeated request by Scott Cotton, Internet Consultants
|
|
Group, Inc.
|
|
|
|
Portability: doze() function for systems without usleep().
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: clients are now consistently logged as host[address].
|
|
|
|
19990122
|
|
|
|
Maildir support changed: specify "home_mailbox = Maildir/".
|
|
The magic is the trailing /. Suggested by Daniel Eisenbud,
|
|
University of California at Berkeley.
|
|
|
|
Maildir support from aliases, :include: and .forward files.
|
|
Specify /file/name/ - the trailing / is required. Suggested
|
|
by Daniel Eisenbud, University of California at Berkeley.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: watchdog timer to prevent the queue manager
|
|
from locking up on some systems.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: in Received: headers, the "for <recipient>"
|
|
information was in the wrong place. Pointed out by Jon
|
|
Ribbens, Oaktree Internet Solutions Ltd.

extracted from message headers. Problem reported by David
|
|
Blacka, Network Solutions. File: cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
|
|
|
|
19990126
|
|
|
|
Feature: smtpd_etrn_restrictions parameter to restrict who
|
|
may use ETRN and what domains may be specified. Example:
|
|
"smtpd_etrn_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject".
|
|
Requested by Jon Ribbens, Oaktree Internet Solutions Ltd.
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
19990127
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: in an attempt to shave some cycles, the anti junk
|
|
mail routines would use the wrong resolved address. This
|
|
"optimization" is now turned off. Problem reported by Sam
|
|
Eaton, Pavilion Internet Plc. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: BIFF notifications. For compatibility reasons
|
|
this feature is on by default. This "protocol" can be a
|
|
real performance pig. Specify "biff = no" in main.cf if
|
|
your machine has lots of shell users. Feature requested by
|
|
Dan Farmer - it's one of the things one does for friends.
|
|
Files: local/mailbox.c, local/biff_notify.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: another case sensitivity problem, this time with
|
|
virtual lookups to recognize unknown@virtual.domain.
|
|
Problem reported by Bo Kleve, Linkoping University. File:
|
|
qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
19990128
|
|
|
|
Feature: with "soft_bounce = yes", defer delivery instead
|
|
of bouncing mail. This is a safety net for configuration
|
|
errors with delivery agents. It has no effect on errors in
|
|
virtual maps, canonical maps, or in junk mail restrictions.
|
|
Feature requested by Bennett Todd. File: global/bounce.c.
|
|
|
|
19990129
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the qmail maildir.5 documentation prescribes
|
|
maildir file names of the form time.pid.hostname, which is
|
|
wrong because Postfix processes perform multiple deliveries.
|
|
Elsewhere the qmail author has documented how maildir files
|
|
should be named under such conditions. Postfix has been
|
|
changed to be conformant. File: local/maildir.c.
|
|
|
|
19990131
|
|
|
|
Feature: special treatment of owner-foo and foo-request
|
|
can be turned off. Specify "owner_request_special = no".
|
|
Requested by Matthew Green and others. Files: local/alias.c,
|
|
global/split_addr.c. This affects canonical, virtual and
|
|
alias lookups.

Portability: signal handling for HP-UX 9 by Lamont Jones
|
|
of Hewlett Packard. File: master/master_sig.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: disable random walk inside a per-site queue to
|
|
avoid message starvation under heavy load. File: qmgr_entry.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: under some conditions the queue manager could
|
|
declare a host dead after just one delivery failure. File:
|
|
qmgr_queue.c.
|
|
|
|
19990212
|
|
|
|
Feature: skip SMTP servers that greet us with a 4XX status
|
|
code. Example: "smtp_skip_4xx_greeting = yes". By default,
|
|
the Postfix SMTP client defers delivery when a server
|
|
declines talking to us. File: smtp/smtp_connect.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: upon startup the queue manager now moves active
|
|
queue files to the incoming queue instead of the deferred
|
|
queue, to avoid anomalous delivery delays on systems that
|
|
have a huge incoming queue. Files: qmgr/qmgr.c,
|
|
qmgr/qmgr_active.c, global/mail_flush.c, conf/postfix-script*
|
|
|
|
19990213
|
|
|
|
Robustness: added watchdog timers to avoid getting stuck
|
|
on systems with broken select() socket implementations.
|
|
File: qmgr_transport.c, qmgr_deliver.c.
|
|
|
|
19990218
|
|
|
|
Feature: NFS-friendly delivery to mailbox by avoiding the
|
|
use of root privileges as much as possible. With input by

|
|
|
Feature: the smtp-sink test server now supports SMTP command
|
|
pipelining. To this end we had to generalize the timer and
|
|
vstream support. Poor performance is fixed 19990222.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: timer event routines now have the same interface
|
|
as read/write event routines (event type + context). File:
|
|
util/events.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: new vstream_peek() routine to tell how much unread
|
|
data is left in a VSTREAM buffer. This is the vstream
|
|
variant of the peekfd() routine for kernel read buffers.
|
|
File: util/vstream.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: directory scanning support for hashed mail queue
|
|
directories. So far the results are disappointing: with
|
|
depth = 2 (16 directories with 16 subdirectories), mailq
|
|
takes 5 seconds with an empty queue unless all directories
|
|
happen to be cached in memory. We need a bit map before
|
|
hashed queue directories become practical. Depth=1 hashing
|
|
doesn't slow down mailq much, but doesn't help much either.
|
|
Files: util/scan_dir.c, global/mail_scan_dir.c.
|
|
|
|
19990221
|
|
|
|
Workaround: with "ignore_mx_lookup_error = yes", the SMTP
|
|
client always performs an A lookup when an MX lookup could
|
|
not be completed, rather than treating MX lookup failure
|
|
as a temporary error condition. Unfortunately there are
|
|
many broken DNS servers on the Internet. File: smtp/smtp_addr.c.
|
|
|
|
19990222
|
|
|
|
Performance: rewrote the guts of the smtp-sink test server
|
|
so it can do pipelining without losing performance.
|
|
|
|
19990223
|
|
|
|
Workaround: hotmail.com sometimes drops the connection
|
|
after "." (causing misleading diagnostics to be logged) or
|
|
waits minutes after receiving QUIT. Solution: do not wait
|
|
for the response to QUIT. File: smtp/smtp_proto.c. This
|
|
is turned off with: "smtp_skip_quit_response = no".
|
|
|
|
19990224
|
|
|
|
Feature: the pipe mailer accepts user=username:groupname,
|
|
based on code submitted by Philip A. Prindeville, Mirapoint,
|
|
Inc., USA. File: pipe/pipe.c.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: use file locking to prevent multiple processes
|
|
from select()ing on the same socket. This causes performance
|
|
problems on large BSD systems. Files: master/*_server.c.
|
|
|
|
19990225
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: with "inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1", don't bind to
|
|
the loopback interface. Problem reported by Steve Bellovin
|
|
of AT&T. File: smtp/smtp_addr.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "postsuper" command to remove stale queue files
|
|
to update queues after changes to the queue structure
|
|
parameters (hash_queue_names, hash_queue_depth). This
|
|
command is to be run from the postfix-script maintenance
|
|
shell script.
|
|
|
|
19990301
|
|
|
|
Feature: new postconf -h (suppress `name = ' in output)
|
|
option to make the program easier to use in, e.g., shell
|
|
scripts.
|
|
|
|
Feature: dict_unix module so you can add the UNIX passwd
|
|
table to the SMTPD access control list.
|
|
|
|
19990302
|
|
|
|
Feature: "luser_relay = destination" captures mail for
|
|
non-existent local recipients. This works only when the
|
|
local delivery agent does mailbox delivery (including
|
|
delivery via mailbox_command), not when mailbox delivery
|
|
is delegated to another message transport.
|
|
|
|
Feature: new reject_non_fqdn_{hostname,sender,recipient}
|
|
restrictions to require fully.qualified.domain forms in
|
|
HELO, MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands (while still allowing
|
|
the <> sender address).
|
|
|
|
19990304
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: backed out the 19990119 change to always insert
|
|
Return-Path: if that header is not present. The pipe and
|
|
local agents now are responsible for prepending Return-Path:.
|
|
Files: cleanup/cleanup_message.c, global/mail_copy.[hc],
|
|
pipe/pipe.c, global/header_opts.c. This causes an incompatible
|
|
change to the pipe flags parameter, because Return-Path:
|
|
now must be requested explicitly.
|
|
|
|
19990305
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: showq (the mailq server) incorrectly assumed that
|
|
all recipients of a deferred message are listed in the
|
|
corresponding defer logfile. It now lists all recipients.
|
|
Files: showq/showq.c, cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c (ensure
|
|
that sender records always precede recipient records).
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: smtpd HELO restrictions validate [numerical] forms.
|
|
Files: util/valid_hostname.c, smtpd/smtpd_check.c. Initial
|
|
code by Philip A. Prindeville, Mirapoint, Inc., USA.
|
|
|
|
19990306
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: re-vamped the valid_hostname module, and added a
|
|
maximal label length (63) requirement.
|
|
|
|
Feature: fallback_relay parameter to specify extra backup
|
|
hosts in case the regular relay hosts are not found or not
|
|
available. Files: smtp/smtp_addr.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "always_bcc = address" specifies where to send a
|
|
copy of each message that enters he system. However, if
|
|
that copy bounces, the sender will be informed of the
|
|
bounce. Files: smtpd/smtpd.c, pickup/pickup.c
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the transport map will now route on top-level
|
|
domains, so you can dump all of .bitnet to a bitnet relay.
|
|
|
|
19990307
|
|
|
|
Feature: LDAP lookups, updated by Jon Hensley, Merit Network,
|
|
USA.
|
|
|
|
Feature: regular expression (PCRE) support by Andrew
|
|
McNamara, connect.com.au Pty. Ltd., Australia. In order to
|
|
use this code specify pcre:/file/name. You can use this
|
|
anywhere you would use a DB or DBM file, NIS or LDAP. See:
|
|
PCRE_README for how to enable this code.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "delay_warning_time = 4" causes Postfix to send
|
|
a "your mail is delayed" notice after approx. 4 hours.
|
|
Daniel Eisenbud, University of California at Berkeley.
|
|
Files: qmgr/qmgr_active.c, qmgr/qmgr_message. Postmaster
|
|
notices for delayed mail are disabled by default. In order
|
|
to receive postmaster notices, specify "notify_classes =
|
|
... delay ...".
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: do not send undeliverable bounced mail to postmaster.
|
|
This was causing lots of pain with junk mail from bogus
|
|
sender addresses to non-existent recipients. This change
|
|
was reversed 19990311.
|
|
|
|
19990308
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the dotforward routine was too eager with throwing
|
|
away extension information, so that the Delivered-To: info
|
|
would differ for \mailbox and |command. Problem reported
|
|
by Rafi Sadowski, Open University, Israel.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: seems I never got around to fix the btree access
|
|
method. I finally did. Problem reported by: Matt Smith,
|
|
AvTel Communications Inc., USA.
|
|
|
|
19990311
|
|
|
|
Back by popular demand: with "notify_classes = 2bounce ..."
|
|
Postfix will send undeliverable bounced mail to postmaster.
|
|
The default is to not send double bounces. This change
|
|
reverses a change made on 19990307.
|
|
|
|
19990312
|
|
|
|
Feature: configurable exit handler for server skeletons.
|
|
Philip A. Prindeville, Mirapoint, Inc., USA. Files:
|
|
master/*server.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: mail_spool_directory configuration parameter to
|
|
specify the UNIX mail spool directory. The default setting
|
|
is system dependent.
|
|
|
|
19990313
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: share file descriptors for resolve and rewrite
|
|
client connections. This puts less strain on the trivial-rewrite
|
|
service.
|
|
|
|
Portability: support for UnixWare 2.1 by Dmitry E. Kiselyov,
|
|
Nizhny Novgorod City Health Emergency Station.
|
|
|
|
Feature: configurable delays in the smtpstone test programs.
|
|
With input by Philip A. Prindeville, Mirapoint, Inc., USA.
|
|
Files: smtpstone/*.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: a "signal 11" problem in the trivial-rewrite program
|
|
that would occasionally happen after "postfix reload".
|
|
Reason: some rewrite clients would clobber their input,
|
|
and when they had to retransmit the query, the input would
|
|
be a zero-length string, which trivial-rewrite isn't supposed
|
|
to receive.
|
|
|
|
19990314
|
|
|
|
Feature: "mailbox_transport = cyrus" delegates all local
|
|
mailbox delivery to a master.cf entry called "cyrus" (the
|
|
same trick for procmail), including users not found in the
|
|
UNIX passwd database. This gives the flexibility of $name
|
|
expansions by the pipe mailer, without losing local aliases
|
|
and ~/.forward processing. Result of discussions with Rupa
|
|
Schomaker, RS Consulting.
|
|
|
|
19990315
|
|
|
|
Feature: the mydestination parameter can now be an empty
|
|
string, for hosts that don't receive any mail locally. Be
|
|
sure to specify a default route for mail that comes to the
|
|
machine or mail will loop.
|
|
|
|
19990316
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTPD check scaffolding didn't apply the same
|
|
sanity checks as the production code. Problem reported by
|
|
Alain Thivillon, Herve Schauer Consultants, France. File:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Portability: some systems can have more than 59 seconds in
|
|
a minute. Based on a fix by Liviu Daia, Institute of
|
|
Mathematics, Romanian Academy. File: global/mail_date.c.
|
|
|
|
Enhancement: include the client network address in the
|
|
rejected by RBL response. Lamont Jones, Hewlett-Packard.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: use fstat() to figure out if the maildrop is
|
|
world-writable. access() uses the real uid, which stinks.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: don't do partial address lookups (user@, domain,
|
|
user, @domain) with regexp-style tables.
|
|
|
|
Security: don't allow regexp-style tables to be used for
|
|
aliases. It would be too easy to slip in "|command" or
|
|
:include: or /file/name.
|
|
|
|
19990317
|
|
|
|
Feature: "fallback_transport = cyrus" delegates non-UNIX
|
|
recipients to a master.cf entry called "cyrus", allowing
|
|
you to have both UNIX and non-UNIX mailboxes side by side.
|
|
|
|
19990319
|
|
|
|
Workaround: on 4.4 BSD derivatives, fstat() can return
|
|
EBADF on an open file descriptor. Now, that was a surprise.
|
|
This caused std{out,err} from cron commands to not be
|
|
delivered.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: "local -v" stopped working.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: more watchdog timers for postfix-unfriendly
|
|
systems. By now every Postfix daemon has one. Call it life
|
|
insurance.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: increased the maximal time to receive or deliver
|
|
mail from $ipc_timeout (default: 3600 seconds) to the more
|
|
generous $daemon_timeout (default: 18000 seconds). We don't
|
|
want false alarms.
|
|
|
|
Portability: IRIX 5.2 does not have usleep().
|
|
|
|
19990320
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: \username was broken. Frank Dziuba was the first
|
|
to notice.
|
|
|
|
19990321
|
|
|
|
Workaround: from now on, Postfix on Solaris uses stream
|
|
pipes instead of UNIX-domain sockets. Despite workarounds,
|
|
the latter were causing more trouble than anything else on
|
|
all systems combined.
|
|
|
|
19990322
|
|
|
|
Portability: the makedefs would mis-identify IRIX 6.5.x as
|
|
IRIX 5.x. Fix by Brian Truelsen of Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller
|
|
Institute for Production Technology, Denmark.
|
|
|
|
Feature: reject_unknown_recipient_domain restriction for
|
|
recipient addresses. For the sake of symmetry, we now also
|
|
have reject_unknown_sender_domain. This means the old
|
|
reject_unknown_address restriction is being phased out.
|
|
Suggested by Rask Ingemann Lambertsen, Denmark Technical
|
|
University.
|
|
|
|
Feature: unknown sender/recipient domain restrictions now
|
|
distinguish between soft errors (always: 450) and hard
|
|
errors (configurable with the unknown_address_reject_code
|
|
parameter, default: 450; use 550 at your own risk).
|
|
|
|
Feature: no HELO junk mail restrictions means that no syntax
|
|
check will be done on HELO/EHLO hostname arguments.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the initial Solaris workaround for UNIX-domain
|
|
sockets could cause the queue manager to block if Postfix
|
|
ran into a delivery agent process limit. After another code
|
|
rewrite that problem is eliminated. Thanks to Chris
|
|
Cappuccio, Empire Net, for assistance with testing.
|
|
|
|
19990323
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: too much forwarding when users list their own name
|
|
in their .forward file (e.g. mail to user@localhost would
|
|
go through .forward, would be forwarded to user@$myorigin,
|
|
and would go through .forward again). Problem reported by
|
|
Roman Dolejsi, Prague University of Economics.
|
|
|
|
19990324
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: missing map name in check_xxx_access restrictions
|
|
could cause a segmentation error. Lamont Jones, Hewlett-
|
|
Packard.
|
|
|
|
Feature: forward_path configuration parameter (default:
|
|
$home/.forward$recipient_delimiter$extension,$home/.forward).
|
|
Based on initial code by Philip A. Prindeville, Mirapoint,
|
|
Inc., USA. Files: local/dotforward.c.
|
|
|
|
19990325
|
|
|
|
Workaround: Solaris NIS alias maps need special entries
|
|
(YP_MASTER_NAME, YP_LAST_MODIFIED). What's worse, normal
|
|
keys/values include a null byte at the end, but the YP_XXX
|
|
ones don't. Problem reported by Walcir Fontanini, state
|
|
university of Campinas, Brazil. File: postalias/postalias.c.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: Solaris NIS apparently does include a null
|
|
byte at the end of keys and values. File: util/sys_defs.h.
|
|
|
|
Feature: library support for config parameters that are
|
|
not $name expanded at program start-up. This was needed
|
|
for forward_path, and will also be needed to make message
|
|
headers customizable.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: pcre didn't handle \\ right. Lamont Jones, Hewlett-
|
|
Packard. File: util/dict_pcre.c.
|
|
|
|
19990326
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: Postfix now puts two spaces after the sender
|
|
in a "From sender date..." header. Found by John A. Martin,
|
|
fixed by Lamont Jones, Hewlett-Packard.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: when a recipient appeared multiple times in a local
|
|
alias or include expansion, the delivery status could be
|
|
left uninitialized, causing the mail to be deferred and
|
|
delivered again. File: local/recipient.c.
|
|
|
|
19990327
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the dictionary routines now take an extra flag
|
|
argument to control such things as warning about duplicates,
|
|
and appending null bytes to key/value. The latter was needed
|
|
for a clean implementation of NIS master alias maps support.
|
|
|
|
Feature: POSIX regular expressions by Lamont Jones. See
|
|
config/sample-regexp.c. Right now, enabled on *BSD and
|
|
LINUX only.
|
|
|
|
19990328
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: dictionaries now have flags that say whether
|
|
lookup keys are fixed strings or whether keys are subjected
|
|
to pattern matching. This is needed to avoid passing partial
|
|
addresses to regexp-based lookup tables (user, @domain,
|
|
user@, domain). Files: util/dict*.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: fixed memory leaks and core dumps in the regexp
|
|
and pcre routines (neither handled an empty pattern file).
|
|
|
|
19990329
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: the dictionary I/O routines now do their own
|
|
locking depending on dictionary flag settings. This means
|
|
that the low-level dict_get() interface can now be used
|
|
for safe dictionary lookups. This is needed for 19990328's
|
|
partial lookup key support. Files: util/dict*.c. global/maps.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: regular expression matches are no longer limited
|
|
to user@domain address forms in access/canonical/virtual
|
|
maps, but can also be used for domains in transport maps.
|
|
This needed the partial lookup key support to avoid passing
|
|
partial addresses to regexp-based lookup tables (user,
|
|
@domain, user@, domain). Files: global/maps.c
|
|
global/mail_addr_find.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: new dictionary types can be registered with
|
|
dict_open_register(). File: util/dict_open.c.
|
|
|
|
19990330
|
|
|
|
Bug fix: match_list membership dictionary lookups were case
|
|
sensitive when they should not. Patch by Lutz Jaenicke,
|
|
BTU Cottbus, Germany.
|
|
|
|
19990402
|
|
|
|
Feature: $domain macro support in forward_path. Philip A.
|
|
Prindeville, Mirapoint, Inc., USA. File: local/dotforward.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: if an address extension (+foo) is explicitly
|
|
matched by the .forward+foo file name, do not propagate
|
|
the extension to recipient addresses. This is more consistent
|
|
with the way aliases are expanded. File: local/dotforward.c.
|
|
|
|
19990404
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: after receiving mail, the SMTP server didn't reset
|
|
the cleanup error flag, so that multiple deliveries over
|
|
the same SMTP session could fail due to errors with previous
|
|
deliveries. Found by Lamont Jones, Hewlett-Packard.
|
|
|
|
19990405
|
|
|
|
Feature: MIME-encapsulated bounces. Philip A. Prindeville,
|
|
Mirapoint, Inc., USA. File: bounce/bounce_notify_service.c
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: vstreams now properly look at the EOF flag before
|
|
attempting to read, eliminating the need for typing Ctrl-D
|
|
twice to test programs; the EOF flag is reset after each
|
|
unget or seek operation. Files: util/vstream.c, util/vbuf.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: in preparation for configurable message headers
|
|
the mac_parse() routine now balances the parentheses in
|
|
${name} or $(name). We need this in order to support
|
|
conditional expressions such as ${name?text} where `text'
|
|
contains other ${name} expressions.
|
|
|
|
19990406
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: changed MIME header information to make bounces
|
|
more RFC 1892 compliant.
|
|
|
|
19990407
|
|
|
|
Feature: "best_mx_transport = local" delivers mail locally
|
|
if the local machine is the best mail exchanger (by default,
|
|
mail is bounced with a "mail loops back to myself" error).
|
|
|
|
Config: in order to make feature tracking easier the source
|
|
code distribution now has a copy of the default settings
|
|
in conf/main.cf.default.
|
|
|
|
Feature: separate configurable postmaster addresses for
|
|
single bounces (bounce_notice_recipient), double bounces
|
|
(2bounce_notice_recipient), delayed mail (delay_notice_recipient),
|
|
and for other mailer errors (error_notice_recipient). The
|
|
default for all is "postmaster".
|
|
|
|
19990408
|
|
|
|
Workaround: on Solaris 2.x, the master appears to lose its
|
|
exclusive lock on the master.pid file, so keep grabbing
|
|
the lock each time the master wakes up from select().
|
|
|
|
Robustness: don't flush VSTREAM buffers after I/O error.
|
|
This prevents surprises when calling vstream_fclose() after
|
|
truncating a mailbox to its original size.
|
|
|
|
Portability: on LINUX systems, if <db_185.h> exists, don't
|
|
look for <db/db.h>.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: specify "sun_mailtool_compatibility = yes" to
|
|
avoid clashes with the mailtool application. This disables
|
|
kernel locks on mailbox files. Use only where needed.
|
|
|
|
Portability: renamed readline to readlline, to avoid clashes
|
|
with mysql.
|
|
|
|
19990409
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: ignore temp queue files that aren't old enough.
|
|
Problem reported by Vivek Khera, Khera Communications, Inc.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: fixed typo in dict_db.c that caused processes to
|
|
not release DB shared locks.
|
|
|
|
Feature: auto-detection of changes to DB or DBM lookup
|
|
tables. This avoids the need to run "postfix reload" after
|
|
change to the smtp access table and other tables.
|
|
|
|
Feature: regular expression checks for message headers.
|
|
This requires support for POSIX or for PCRE regular
|
|
expressions. Specify "header_checks = regexp:/file/name"
|
|
or "header_checks = pcre:/file/name", and specify
|
|
"/^header-name: badstuff/ REJECT" in the pattern file
|
|
(patterns are case-insensitive by default). Code by Lamont
|
|
Jones, Hewlett-Packard. It is to be expected that full
|
|
content filtering will be delegated to an external command.
|
|
|
|
19990410
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: auto-detection of changes to DB or DBM lookup tables
|
|
wasn't done for TCP connections.
|
|
|
|
19990410
|
|
|
|
Feature: $recipient expansion in forward_path. Philip A.
|
|
Prindeville, Mirapoint, Inc., USA. File: local/dotforward.c

Feature: the smtp client consistently treats a numerical
|
|
hostname as an address. File: smtp/smtp_addr.c.

19990414
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: support comment lines starting with # in
|
|
$mydestination include files. This makes Postfix more
|
|
compatible with sendmail.cw files. File: util/match_list.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: if your machines have short host names, specify
|
|
"mydomain = domain.name", and you no longer have to specify

Bugfix: showq could segfault when writing to a broken pipe.
|
|
Problem reported by Bryan Fullerton, Canadian Broadcasting
|
|
Corporation. Files: util/vbuf_print.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: got rid of the "fatal: write error: Broken pipe"
|
|
message when mailq output is piped into a program that
|
|
terminates early.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: bounce messages are multipart/mixed with the error
|
|
report as part of the first message segment, because users
|
|
had trouble extracting the delivery error report from the
|
|
attachment.
|
|
|
|
19990423
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the default junk mail reject code is now 554
|
|
(service unavailable) rather than 550 (user unknown).
|
|
|
|
Folded in the updated dict_ldap.c module by John Hensley,
|
|
Merit Network, USA.
|
|
|
|
Folded in the vstream_popen.c updates by Philip A.
|
|
Prindeville, Mirapoint, Inc., USA. This copies a lot of
|
|
code from pipe_command(); the next step is to trim that
|
|
module.
|
|
|
|
19990425
|
|
|
|
Workaround: renamed config.h to mail_conf.h etc. in order
|
|
to avoid name collisions with LINUX (yes, they have a system
|
|
include file called config.h). For compatibility with people
|
|
who have written software for Postfix, there's a config.h
|
|
that aliases the old names to the new ones. That file will
|
|
go away eventually.
|
|
|
|
19990426
|
|
|
|
Feature: error mailer, in order to easily bounce mail for
|
|
specific destinations. In the transport table, specify:
|
|
"host.domain error:host.domain is unavailable". Too bad
|
|
that the transport table triggers on destination domain
|
|
only; it would be nice to bounce specific users as well.
|
|
|
|
19990427
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: "disable_dns_lookups = yes" now should disable
|
|
all DNS lookups by the SMTP client.
|
|
|
|
19990428
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: with DBM files, Postfix was watching the "dir" file
|
|
modification time for changes. It should be watching the
|
|
"pag" file instead.
|
|
|
|
19990429
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: all callbacks in the master to server API now pass

|
|
|
|
Feature: conditional macro expansion. ${name?text} expands
|
|
to text when name is defined, otherwise the result is empty.
|
|
${name:text} expands to text when name is undefined,
|
|
otherwise the result is empty. File: util/mac_expand.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: conditional macro expansion of the forward_path
|
|
configuration parameters of $user, $home, $shell, $recipient,
|
|
$extension, $domain, $mailbox and $recipient_delimiter.
|
|
Files: local/dotforward.c, local/local_expand.c.

19990506
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: eliminated misleading warnings about unknown HELO
|
|
etc. SMTPD restrictions when the HELO etc. information is
|
|
not available. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
19990507
|
|
|
|
Feature: all smtpd reject messages now contain the MAIL
|
|
FROM and RCPT TO addresses, if available.
|
|
|
|
19990508
|
|
|
|
Feature: conditional macro expansion of the luser_relay
|
|
configuration parameter. It is no longer possible to specify
|
|
/file/name or "|command" destinations. File: local/unknown.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: changed the mac_parse interface so that the
|
|
application callback routine can return status information.
|
|
Updated the dict_regexp and dict_pcre modules accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: changed the mac_expand interface so that the caller
|
|
provides an attribute lookup routine, instead of having to
|
|
provide a copy of all attributes upfront. Files:
|
|
util/mac_expand.c, local/local_expand.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: control over how address extensions are propagated
|
|
to other addresses. By default, propagation of unmatched
|
|
address extensions is now restricted to canonical and
|
|
virtual mappings. Specify "propagate_unmatched_extensions
|
|
= canonical, virtual, alias, forward, include" to restore
|
|
previous behavior.
|
|
|
|
19990509
|
|
|
|
Feature: USER, EXTENSION, DOMAIN, RECIPIENT (entire address)
|
|
and MAILBOX (address localpart) environment variables are
|
|
exported to shell commands (including mailbox_command).
|
|
|
|
Feature: new command_expansion_filter parameter to control
|
|
what characters may appear in message attributes that are
|
|
exported via environment variables.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: SMTPD reject messages are more informative, and
|
|
more complete sender/recipient information is logged for
|
|
the local sysadmin.

|
Bugfix: missing MIME header in postmaster bounce notices.
|
|
Found by Samuel Tardieu, Ecole Nationale Superieure des
|
|
Telecommunications, France.
|
|
|
|
Feature: UCE restrictions are always delayed until RCPT
|
|
TO, VRFY or ETRN. To change back to the default specify
|
|
"smtpd_delay_reject = no" in /etc/postfix/main.cf.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: missing duplicate filter call. This caused too many
|
|
deliveries when a user is listed multiple times in an alias.
|
|
Reported by Hideyuki Suzuki, School of Engineering, University
|
|
of Tokyo. Backed out on 19990512 because it caused problems.
|
|
Fixed 19990513 but needs further study.
|
|
|
|
Feature: it is now possible to move queue files back into
|
|
the maildrop queue, so that they can benefit from changes
|
|
in canonical and virtual mappings. In order to make this
|
|
possible, some restrictions on queue file contents were
|
|
relaxed. Files: pickup/pickup.c, cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: made a start with integrating Joerg Henne's
|
|
dictionary extensions to remove entries and to iterate over
|
|
entries. That code is almost four months old by now.
|
|
|
|
19990511
|
|
|
|
Feature: added a "undeliverable postmaster notification
|
|
discarded" warning when mail is dropped on the floor.
|
|
Requested by Michael Hasenstein, SuSE, Germany.
|
|
|
|
19990517
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: reject_non_fqdn_sender/recipient would pass
|
|
user@[ip_address] regardless of destination. Eric Cholet
|
|
had the honor of suffering from this one.
|
|
|
|
19990527
|
|
|
|
More SMTP client logging for easier debugging: the smtp
|
|
client now logs hostname[ip.addr], and logs every failed
|
|
attempt to reach an MX host, not just the last one.
|
|
|
|
19990601
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: emit a blank line before a MIME boundary; the line
|
|
is part of the boundary. File: bounce/bounce_notify_service.c.

Robustness: the postfix-script start-up procedure now

|
|
suggested by David E. Smith @technopagan.org.

|
Portability: Mac OS X Server Port by Mark Miller @swoon.net.
|
|
|
|
Feature: on systems that use dotlock files for mailbox
|
|
locking, the local delivery agent now will attempt to use
|
|
dotlock files when delivering to user-specified files.
|
|
Dotlock files for user-specified destinations are created
|
|
with the privileges of the user. For backwards compatibility,
|
|
Postfix will attempt to create dotlocks for user-specified
|
|
destinations only when the user has parent directory write
|
|
permission.
|
|
|
|
Feature: specify "expand_owner_alias = yes" in order to
|
|
use the right-hand side of an owner- alias, instead of
|
|
using the left-hand side address. Needed by Juergen Georgi.
|
|
|
|
19990622
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the local delivery agent did not set user attributes
|
|
when delivering to root, so that forward_path did not expand
|
|
properly. Found by Jozsef Kadlecsik, KFKI Research Institute
|
|
for Particle and Nuclear Physics, Hungary. File:
|
|
local/dotforward.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the unix:passwd.byname mechanism is not suitable
|
|
for smtpd access control - the user name would have to end
|
|
in @, or the access control software would have to be
|
|
changed. Removed the example from the RELEASE_NOTES file.

Bugfix: Postfix is now distributed under the new IBM Public
|
|
License (version 1, dated June 14, 1999).
|
|
|
|
Feature: the Delivered-To: header can be turned off for
|
|
delivery to command or file/mailbox. The default setting
|
|
is: "prepend_delivered_header = command, file, forward".
|
|
Turning off the Delivered-To: header when forwarding mail
|
|
is not recommended.
|
|
|
|
19990628
|
|

Feature: the postlock command now returns EX_TEMPFAIL when
|
|
the destination file is locked by another process.
|
|
|
|
19990705
|
|
|
|
Workaround: in the SMTP client, move the "mail loops back
|
|
to myself test" from the 220 greeting to the HELO response.
|
|
This change does not weaken the test, and makes Postfix
|
|
more robust against broken software that greets with the
|
|
client hostname.
|
|
|
|
19990706
|
|
|
|
Workaround: in the INSTALL file, use `&&' instead of `;'
|
|
in (cd path; tar ...) pipelines because some UNIX re-invented
|
|
shells don't bail out when cd fails. Matthias Andree
|

the best MX host was not found in the DNS. Found by Andrew
|
|
McNamara, connect.com.au Pty Ltd. File: smtp/smtp_addr.c.
|
|
|
|
19990810
|
|
|
|
Feature: added "-c config_dir" support to the postconf

Portability: more MacOS X Server patches; some NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP

|
19990831
|
|
|
|
Workaround: sendmail now prints a warning when installed
|
|
set-uid or when run by a set-uid command. Reportedly, the
|
|
linuxconf software turns on the set-uid bit, which could
|
|
open up a security loophole. File: sendmail/sendmail.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: Postfix daemons now temporarily lock DB/DBM files
|
|
while opening them, in order to avoid "invalid argument"
|
|
errors because some other process is changing the file.
|
|
Files: util/dict_db.c, util/dict_dbm.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: Postfix locks queue files during delivery, to
|
|
prevent duplicate delivery when "postfix reload" is
|
|
immediately followed by "sendmail -q". This involves a
|
|
change of the deliver_request interface: delivery agents
|
|
no longer need to open and close queue files explicitly.

|
|
that rejects destinations not in $relay_domains. By Lamont

Jones of Hewlett-Packard. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Security: do not allow weird characters in the expansion
|

|
|
underscores. Configuration parameter: forward_expansion_filter.

Bugfix: mysql reconnect after disconnect by Scott Cotton
|

|
|
Portability: the Postfix to PCRE interface now expects
|

version 2.08. Postfix is no longer compatible with PCRE
|
|
versions before 2.6.
|
|
|
|
19990906
|
|
|
|
Feature: INSTALL.sh script that makes Postfix installation
|
|
a bit less painful. This script can be used for installing
|
|
and for upgrading Postfix. It replaces files instead of
|
|
overwriting them, and leaves existing configuration and
|
|
queue files intact.
|
|
|
|
19990907
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: reject_non_fqdn_sender used the wrong test to see
|
|
if a sender address was given and could dump core. This
|
|
must have been broken ever since the UCE tests were moved
|
|
to the RCPT TO stage in 19990510.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: check_sender_access was recognized as a valid
|
|
restriction name only if a sender had been specified.
|
|
|
|
19990908
|
|
|
|
Portability: Unixware has <sysexits.h> only after sendmail
|
|
is installed. Changed postlock.c to use global/sys_exits.h.
|
|
|
|
19990909
|
|
|
|
Performance: added one-entry cache to the address rewriting
|
|
client and to the address resolving client. This is because
|
|
UCE restrictions tend to produce the same query repeatedly.
|
|
Files: global/rewrite_clnt.c, global/resolve_clnt.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the UCE restrictions are now fully recursive so
|
|
you can have per-client/helo/sender/recipient restrictions.
|
|
Instead of OK, REJECT or [45]xx, you can specify a sequence
|
|
of restrictions on the right-hand side of an SMTPD access
|
|
table. This means you can no longer use canonical/virtual/alias
|
|
maps as SMTPD access tables. But the loss is compensated
|
|
for. File: smtpd/smtpd_access.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: restriction classes, essentially a short-hand for
|
|
restriction lists. These short hands are useful mostly on
|
|
the right-hand side of SMTPD access tables. You must use
|
|
restriction classes in order to have lookup tables on the
|
|
right-hand side of an SMTPD access table. File:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd_access.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "permit_recipient_map maptype:mapname" permits a
|
|
recipient address when it matches the specified table.
|
|
Lookups are done just as with canonical/virtual maps. With
|
|
this, you can also use passwd/aliases as SMTPD access maps.
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd_access.c.
|
|
|
|
19990910
|
|
|
|
Changed "permit_address_map" into "permit_recipient_map"
|
|
and added a test for the case that they specify a lookup
|
|
table on the right-hand side of an SMTPD access map. File:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd_access.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: removed spurious sender address checks for <>.
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the smtp client now consistently logs host[address]

19990919
|
|
|
|
Feature: in an SMTPD access map, an all-numeric right-hand

side now means OK, for better cooperation with out-of-band
|
|
authentication mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
19990922

Bugfix: after 19990831, the queue manager would throw away
|
|
defer logs after deferring mail to known-to-be-dead hosts
|
|
or message transports. This means that in some cases, mailq
|
|
would not show why mail is delayed, and that delayed mail

|
Dick Porter @ acm.org.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: added DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. EDIT MAIN.CF
|
|
INSTEAD notices to the sample-xxx.cf files.

Compatibility: ignore the sendmail -U (initial user
|
|
submission) option. Thomas Quinot @ cuivre.fr.eu.org.
|
|
|
|
19991103
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: don't send postmaster notifications when an
|
|
SMTP client sends a DATA command while no recipients were
|
|
accepted. This can happen when a pipelined client runs
|
|
into an UCE block. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
19991104
|
|
|
|
Robustness: do not apply UCE header checks to mail that is
|
|
generated by Postfix (bounces, forwarded mail etc.). Files:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd.c, pickup/pickup.c, cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: new generic watchdog module that can deal with
|
|
clocks that jump occasionally. Files: util/watchdog.c,
|
|
master/master.c, master/{single,multi,trigger}_server.c.
|
|
This hopefully ends the false watchdog alarms that happen
|
|
when clocks are set or when laptops are resumed.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: BSMTP requires dot quoting as per RFC 821.
|
|
Based on code by Florian Lohoff @ rfc822.org. Files:
|
|
global/mail_copy.[hc], pipe/pipe.c.

|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the crufty code in inet_addr_local() did not find
|
|
IP aliases. File: util/inet_addr_local.c.
|
|
|
|
Portability: the INSTALL.sh utility did not find users or
|
|
groups in NIS or Netinfo tables. The script no longer
|
|
searches the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. Instead it
|
|
now queries the unix:passwd.byname and unix:group.byname
|
|
maps. For this, a -q (query) option was added to postmap
|
|
(and to postalias, for symmetry). Files: util/dict_unix.c,
|
|
postalias/postalias.c, postmap/postmap.c, INSTALL.sh.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: LDAP lookup timeout settings were ignored. Patch
|
|
by John Hensley. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
|
|
|
|
19991108
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: when doing a fresh install, INSTALL.sh didn't set
|
|
main.cf:mail_owner properly (Simon J. Mudd).
|
|
|
|
19991109
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: when doing a fresh install, INSTALL.sh no longer
|
|
worked (missing main.cf file). Fix: add "-c" argument to
|
|
the postmap commands (Lars Hecking @ nmrc.ucc.ie).
|
|
|
|
Documentation: removed spurious "do not edit" comments from
|
|
the sample pcre and regexp configuration files.
|
|
|
|
19991110-13
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: greatly simplified the SMTPD command parser
|
|
and somewhat simplified the code that groks RFC 822-style
|
|
address syntax in MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands.
|
|
|
|
New parameter: strict_rfc821_envelopes (default: no) to
|
|
reject RFC 822 address forms (with comments etc.) in SMTP
|
|
envelopes. By default, the Postfix SMTP server only logs
|
|
a warning.
|
|
|
|
19991113
|
|
|
|
Oops, also updated the SMTP VRFY code in the light of
|
|
changes to the SMTPD command parser.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the local delivery agent now explicitly rejects
|
|
recipients with an empty username.
|
|
|
|
19991114
|
|
|
|
Workaround: with some gawk versions, postconf/extract.awk
|
|
reportedly returns a non-zero exit status upon success.
|
|
Added an explicit exit(0) statement.

Feature: DNS TXT record lookup support, based on initial
|
|
code by Simon J Mudd. File: dns/dns_lookup.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: RBL TXT record lookups, based on initial code by
|
|
Simon J Mudd. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: permit_auth_destination restriction based on code
|
|
by Jesper Skriver @ skriver.dk.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: the transport table now can override all
|
|
deliveries, including local ones.
|
|
|
|
19991116
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: a new "local_transports" configuration
|
|
parameter explicitly lists all transports that deliver mail
|
|
locally. The first name listed there is the default local
|
|
transport. This is the end of the "empty next-hop hostname"
|
|
hack to indicate that a destination is local. Files:
|
|
trivial-rewrite/resolve.c, global/local_transport.[hc]
|
|
|
|
Feature: "postconf -m" shows what lookup table types are
|
|
available. Code by Scott Cotton, Internet Consultants
|
|
Group, Inc.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "postconf -e" edits any number of main.cf parameters.
|
|
The edit is done on a copy, and the copy is renamed into
|
|
the place of the original. File: postconf/postconf.c,
|
|
util/readlline.[hc].
|
|
|
|
19991117
|
|
|
|
Portability: SunOS 4 has no SA_RESTART. File: util/watchdog.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: on systems with h_errno, the "reject_unknown_client"
|
|
restriction now distinguishes between soft errors (always
|
|
reply with 450) and hard errors (use the user-specified
|
|
reply code). This should lessen the load by broken mailers
|
|
that re-connect once a minute.
|
|
|
|
Feature: forward/reverse name/address check for SMTP client
|
|
hostnames. This fends off some hypothetical attacks by
|
|
spammers who are in control of their own reverse mapping.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: postconf no longer aborts when it can't figure
|
|
out the local domain name; it prints a warning instead.
|
|
This allows you to use "postconf -e" to fix the problem.
|
|
|
|
19991118
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the RFC822 address parser would misparse a leading
|
|
\ as an atom all by itself. Problem reported by Keith

Bugfix: tiny memory leak in pipe_command() when fork()
|
|
fails. File: global/pipe_command.c.

19991120
|
|
|

Bugfix: reversed test for all-numerical results in SMTPD
|
|
access maps. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
19991121
|
|
|
|
Robustness: INSTALL.sh no longer uses postmap for sanity
|
|
checks.
|
|
|
|
Feature: INSTALL.sh now has an install_root option.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: INSTALL.sh now installs manual pages with proper
|
|
permissions and ownership.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the LDAP client did not properly escape special
|
|
characters in lookup keys (patch by John Hensley). File:
|
|
util/dict_ldap.c.
|
|
|
|
19991122
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: missing absolute path in INSTALL.sh broke fresh
|
|
install.
|
|
|
|
19991124
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the local delivery agent's recipient duplicate
|
|
filter did not work when configured to use unlimited memory
|
|
(which is not a recommended setting). Patrik Rak @raxoft.cz.
|
|
|
|
19991125
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: postconf didn't have an umask(022) call at the
|
|
beginning (problem experienced by Matthias Andree).
|
|
|
|
19991126
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: DNS TXT records now have string lengths before text
|
|
(Mark Martinec @ nsc.ijs.si).
|
|
|
|
19991127
|
|
|
|
Update: the LDAP client code now supports escapes as per
|
|
RFC2254 (John Hensley).
|
|
|
|
19991207
|
|
|
|
Performance: one message with many recipients no longer
|
|
stops other mail from being delivered. The queue manager
|
|
now frees in-memory recipients as soon as a message is
|
|
delivered to one destination, rather than waiting until
|
|
all in-memory destinations of that message have been tried.
|
|
Patch by Patrik Rak @ raxoft.cz. Files: qmgr/qmgr_entry.c,
|
|
qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Performance: when delivering mail to a huge list of
|
|
recipients, the queue manager now reads more recipients
|
|
from the queue file before delivery concurrency drops too
|
|
low. Files: qmgr/qmgr_entry.c, qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
19991208
|
|
|
|
Updated LDAP client code by John Hensley with escape
|
|
sequences as per RFC 2254. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
|
|
|
|
Updated MYSQL client code by Scott Cotton. File: dict_mysql.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: added -N/-n options to include/exclude terminating
|
|
nulls in keys and values in postmap/postalias DB or DBM
|
|
files. Normally, Postfix uses whatever is appropriate for
|
|
the host system. A non-default setting can be necessary
|
|
for inter-operability with third-party software.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the local delivery agent would deliver to the user
|
|
instead of the .forward file when the .forward file was
|
|
already visited via some non-recursive path. Patch by Patrik
|
|
Rak @ raxoft.cz. Files: global/been_here.c, local/dotforward.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: attempt to deliver all addresses in the expansion
|
|
of an alias or .forward file, even when some addresses must
|
|
be deferred. File: local/token.c.
|
|
|
|
19991211
|
|
|
|
Performance: qmgr_fudge_factor controls what percentage of
|
|
delivery resources Postfix will devote to one message.
|
|
With 100%, delivery of one message does not begin before
|
|
delivery of the previous message is completed. This is good
|
|
for list performance, bad for one-to-one mail. With 10%,
|
|
response time for one-to-one mail improves much, but list
|
|
performance suffers. In the worst case, people near the
|
|
start of a mailing list get a burst of postings today,
|
|
while people near the end of the list get that same burst
|
|
of postings a whole day later. Files: qmgr/qmgr_message.c,
|
|
qmgr/qmgr_entry.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: address rewriting would panic on a lone \ at the
|
|
end of a line where an address was expected. Jason Hoos @
|
|
thwack.net. File: global/rewrite_clnt.c.
|
|
|
|
19991215
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the strict RFC821 envelope address check should
|
|
not be applied to VRFY commands. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: permit_recipient_maps is gone, because that could
|
|
only be used inside UCE restrictions.
|
|
|
|
19991216
|
|
|
|
Feature: allow an empty inet_interfaces parameter, just
|
|
like an empty mydestination parameter. It's needed for true
|
|
null clients and for firewalls that deliver no local mail.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "disable_vrfy_command = yes" disables some forms
|
|
of address harvesting used by spammers.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: added the alias map parameter definition to
|
|
the smtpd code. This is a symptom of a general problem
|
|
with parameters that have non-empty default values: unless
|
|
a program explicitly defines such a parameter, the parameter
|
|
defaults to the empty string when used in other parameters.
|
|
There's also a problem with evaluation order.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the SMTP server rejects mail for unknown users in
|
|
virtual domains that are defined by Postfix virtual domain
|
|
files. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: reject mail for unknown local users at the SMTP
|
|
port. The local_recipient_maps configuration parameter
|
|
specifies maps with all addresses that are local with
|
|
respect to $mydestination or $inet_interfaces. Example:
|
|
"local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps unix:passwd.byname".
|
|
This feature is disabled by default. You may have to copy
|
|
the passwd file into the chroot jail. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the sendmail -f option now understands '<user>'
|
|
and even understands address forms with RFC 822-style
|
|
comments.
|
|
|
|
19991217
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: no more UCE checks for VRFY commands. It still
|
|
reports unknown local/virtual users. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: upon Postfix startup, report discrepancies
|
|
between system files inside and outside the chroot jail.
|
|
Files: conf/postfix-script-nosgid, conf/postfix-script-sgid.
|
|
|
|
19991218
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: INSTALL.sh produces relative symlinks, which is
|
|
necessary when install_root is not /.
|
|
|
|
19991219
|
|
|
|
Documentation: completely reorganized the FAQ and added
|
|
many new entries. Rewrote the UCE html documentation.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: INSTALL.sh uses a configurable directory for
|
|
scratch files, so that it can install from a file system
|
|
that is not writable by the super-user.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: INSTALL.sh gives helpful hints when the "mv"
|
|
command is unable to move symlinks across file system
|
|
boundaries.
|
|
|
|
19991220
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: it is no longer necessary to list $virtual_maps
|
|
as part of the relay_domains definition. The SMTP server
|
|
now by default accepts mail for destinations that match
|
|
$inet_interfaces, $mydestination or $virtual_maps, whether
|
|
or not these are specified in relay_domains. We still need
|
|
the ugly "virtual.domain whatever" hack in the virtual
|
|
maps. Files: smtpd/smtpd_check.c and lots of documentation
|
|
and sample config files.
|
|
|
|
19991221
|
|
|
|
Removed cyrus -q flag (ignore quotas) from the sample
|
|
master.cf file.
|
|
|
|
19991223
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtpd should not check for unknown users when
|
|
running in stand-alone (sendmail -bs) mode. Problem
|
|
experienced by Chuck Mead. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
Retraction: the "local_transports" configuration parameter
|
|
is gone. Adjusted code and documentation accordingly.
|
|
Instead, use just one "local_transport" parameter with the
|
|
name of the default local transport. Files: smtpd/smtpd_check.c,
|
|
qmgr/qmgr_message.c, trivial-rewrite/ resolve.c, local/resolve.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: Postfix SMTPD now insists that the smtpd recipient
|
|
restrictions contain at least one restriction that by
|
|
default rejects mail. This should make it much more difficult
|
|
to change Postfix into an open relay. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Retraction: null-length inet_interfaces is too confusing.
|
|
|
|
19991224
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the relative symlink code in INSTALL.sh computed
|
|
the ../ prefix from the wrong pathname.
|
|
|
|
1999122[5-7]
|
|
|
|
Feature: "allow_untrusted_routing = no" (default) prevents
|
|
forwarding of source-routed mail from untrusted clients to
|
|
destinations that are blessed by the relay_domains parameter
|
|
(example: user@domain2@domain1 etc.). This plugs a mail
|
|
relay loophole where a backup MX host forwards junk mail
|
|
to a primary MX host which forwards the junk to the Internet.
|
|
Files: global/quote_822_local.c, smtp/quote_821_local.c,
|
|
trivial-rewrite/rewrite.c, trivial-rewrite/resolve.c,
|
|
smtp/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
In order to make this possible, the Postfix resolver data
|
|
structure and protocol has changed, so that all resolver
|
|
clients need to be re-compiled.
|
|
|
|
Side effect from the above change: from now on, an address
|
|
with @ in the recipient localpart no longer bounces with
|
|
"user unknown" but instead is rejected with "relay access
|
|
denied" or "source-routed relay access denied".
|
|
|
|
19991227
|
|
|
|
Workaround: the BSD/OS "mkdir -p" and "cmp -s" commands
|
|
misbehave on boundary cases: directory exists or file does
|
|
not exist. Those who re-invent...
|
|
|
|
19991229
|
|
|
|
Added the no source routing info requirement to addresses
|
|
accepted by the permit_mx_backup UCE restriction.
|
|
|
|
19991230
|
|
|
|
Added a spawn daemon (not compiled and installed by default)
|
|
to enable LMTP delivery over UNIX-domain sockets. The goal
|
|
is to simplify the experimental LMTP delivery agent by
|
|
ripping out the privileged code that forks the LMTP server.
|
|
|
|
20000102
|
|
|
|
Clarified documentation after early feedback on the 19991231
|
|
release by Drew Derbyshire, Ollivier Robert, Khetan Gajjar.
|
|
|
|
Sanity check: a common error is to list Postfix virtual
|
|
domains in the mydestination parameter. This causes the
|
|
new optional local_recipient_maps feature to reject mail
|
|
for virtual users. The SMTP server now explicitly tests
|
|
for this common error and logs a warning instead of refusing
|
|
the mail. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20000104
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: a case sensitivity bug had slipped through in the
|
|
anti-relaying code, causing mail for USER@VIRTUAL.DOMAIN
|
|
to be rejected with "relay access denied". This was found
|
|
by Jim Maenpaa @ jmm.com.
|
|
|
|
Questionable feature: set "smtp_skip_5xx_greeting = yes"
|
|
to make Postfix more sendmail compatible, even though this
|
|
is wrong, IMNSHO. File: smtp/smtp_connect.c.
|

|
Portability: Siemens Pyramid (dcosx) patch by Thomas D.
|
|
Knox @ vushta.com.
|
|
|
|
Performance: FreeBSD has bidirectional pipes that are faster
|
|
than socketpairs. Anticipating on more platform-specific
|
|
optimizations, all duplex pipe plumbing is now isolated in
|
|
a duplex_pipe.c module that provides a system-independent
|
|
interface.
|
|
|
|
20000105
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the INSTALL.sh script now updates the sample files
|
|
in /etc/postfix even when main.cf exists.
|
|
|
|
20000106
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTP server should consult the relocated map
|
|
for virtual destinations (Denis Shaposhnikov). Files:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd.c smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20000108
|
|
|
|
Workaround: rename() over NFS can fail with ENOENT even
|
|
when the operation succeeds (Graham Orndorff @ WebTV). This
|
|
is not news. Any non-idempotent operation can fail over
|
|
NFS when the NFS server's acknowledgment is lost and the
|
|
NFS client code retries the operation (other examples are:
|
|
create, symlink, link, unlink, mkdir, rmdir). Postfix has
|
|
workarounds for the cases where this is most likely to
|
|
cause trouble. Files: util/sane_{rename,link}.[hc]. If
|
|
you want reliable mail system, do not use NFS.
|
|
|
|
20000115
|
|
|
|
Workaround: better detection of bad hardware. Added SIGBUS
|
|
to the list of signals that the master will log before
|
|
exiting.
|
|
|
|
20000122
|
|
|
|
Portability: preliminary SCO5 port Christopher Wong @
|
|
csports.com. This still needs to a workaround for "find"
|
|
not supporting "-type s" (actually, UNIX-domain sockets
|
|
have no unique representation in the file system and show
|
|
up as FIFOs).
|
|
|
|
20000115-22
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: in case of a too long message header, don't extract
|
|
recipients from message headers. With the previous behavior,
|
|
Bcc information could be left in the message body, as one
|
|
person found out the hard way. Files: cleanup/cleanup.c,
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c, global/cleanup_user.h.

Whatever: RFC 1869 amends RFC 821 and specifies that code
|
|
555 is to be used when a MAIL FROM or RCPT TO parameter is
|
|
not implemented or not recognized. Russ Allbery @stanford.edu.
|
|
This reply code is added to the list of reply codes that
|
|
cause the Postfix SMTP client to mail a transcript to the
|
|
postmaster. File: smtp/smtp_trouble.c.
|
|
|
|
20000126
|
|
|
|
Emergency feature: qmgr_site_hog_factor (default: 90 percent)
|
|
limits the amount of resources that Postfix devotes to a
|
|
single destination. With less than 100, Postfix defers the
|
|
excess mail so that one site with a large backlog does not
|
|
block other deliveries. Files: qmgr/qmgr.c, qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
20000128
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the queue manager no longer replaces the nexthop
|
|
field by the recipient localpart when a destination matches
|
|
$mydestination/$inet_interfaces. The price is the introduction
|
|
of a new parameter local_destination_recipient_limit which
|
|
defaults to 1 in order to maintain backwards compatibility.
|
|
Files: qmgr/qmgr.c, qmgr/qmgr_message.c.

|
20000129
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: extracted recipients were misfiled when a message
|
|
was moved back to the maildrop queue. But they still worked
|
|
due to a coincidence.

Feature: bounce_recip() bounces a recipient immediately
|
|
without accessing a bounce logfile. This is necessary for
|
|
VERP bounces, for bounces by delivery agents that change
|
|
the sender address, and for bounces that for some reason
|
|
must not use temporary logfiles. Files: global/bounce.c,

Bugfix: the too long header fix of 20000115-22 lost mail
|
|
with too long headers that didn't need to extract recipients
|
|
from message headers.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the too long header fix of 20000115-22 lost mail
|
|
without (blank line + message body).
|
|
|
|
Code rewrite: reorganized the cleanup daemon source code
|
|
so that the cleanup service can be called one record at a
|
|
time (see cleanup/cleanup_api.c); also got rid of the global
|
|
state variables and fixed a couple bugs that were introduced
|
|
with 20000115-22.
|
|
|
|
20000204
|
|
|
|
Feature: in daemon mode, the MAIL FROM size check can be
|
|
postponed until RCPT TO so that Postfix can log sender and
|
|
recipient. Simon J Mudd. Files: smtpd/smtpd.c
|
|
|
|
Robustness: limit the number of recipient addresses that
|
|
can be extracted from message headers. Parameter:
|
|
extract_recipient_limit (default: 10240). Files:
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_message.c, cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the message header reject logging now includes
|
|
sender and recipient address (if possible), so that the
|
|
logging looks more like the other reject logging. File:
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: added sections on regular expression tables
|
|
to the access, canonical, virtual, transport and relocated
|
|
man pages, and write new man pages that are specific to
|
|
regular expressions: pcre_table.5 and regexp_table.5.
|
|
|
|
20000214
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: postconf reported some parameters more than once
|
|
because the parameter extracting script didn't recognize
|
|
lines that differ in whitespace only. File: postconf/extract.awk.
|
|
Reported by Kenn Martin.
|
|
|
|
20000221
|
|
|
|
Logging: the SMTP client now logs log host+port when it is
|
|
unable to connect to a non-MX host, just like it logs
|
|
host+port when unable to connect to an MX host.
|
|
|
|
20000226
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTP server's "User unknown" test didn't notice
|
|
LDAP etc. dictionary access errors. The code now reports
|
|
a 450 status (try again instead of bounce) if the reply is
|
|
not definitive. File: smtp/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the smtp-source program could stall when making
|
|
hundreds of parallel connections to a Postfix system with
|
|
only one SMTP server process. The fix is to use non-blocking
|
|
connect() calls, very carefully. File: smtpstone/smtp-source.c.
|
|
|
|
20000303

|
Bugfix: the SMTP server would produce a cryptic message
|
|
when a queue file write error happened before it had written
|
|
any recipients. Keith Stevenson. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the db and dbm "delete" routines didn't adjust
|
|
to dictionaries with/without one trailing null in lookup
|
|
keys and values. Did a complete rewrite of the routines.
|
|
Files: util/dict_db.c, util/dict_dbm.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: specify "-d key" to postalias or postmap in order
|
|
to remove one key. This still needs to be generalized to
|
|
multi-key removal (read stdin?). Files: postmap/postmap.c,
|
|
postalias/postalias.c.
|
|
|
|
Test: added test targets for the dictionary delete operations.
|
|
Files: util/Makefile.in, util/dict_test.{c,in,ref}.
|
|
|
|
Feature: added data offset and recipient count fields to
|
|
the first queue file record output from the cleanup daemon.
|
|
The recipient counts provides an initial estimate for a
|
|
more advanced queue manager scheduling algorithm. Files:
|

20000313
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: dtcm (CDE desktop calendar manager) leaks
|
|
a file descriptor into its child process, and requires that
|
|
sendmail closes the descriptor, otherwise mail notification
|
|
will hang. These GUI programmers never figured out that

the child process must close the writing end of a pipe.

20000314
|
|
|
|
Feature: SASL authentication in the SMTP server and client.
|
|
Based on code contributed by Till Franke, SuSE. Specify:
|
|
"smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes" and "smtp_sasl_auth_enable
|
|
= yes". The "permit_sasl_authenticated" UCE restriction
|
|
gives special treatment to authenticated clients.
|
|
|
|
20000315
|
|
|
|
Workaround: added -blibpath option for AIX 4.x, to close
|
|
hole in case postdrop needs to be set-gid.
|
|
|
|
20000320
|
|
|
|
Portability: FreeBSD 5.x added to the list of supported
|
|
systems (Mark Huizer).
|
|
|
|
20000323
|
|
|
|
Portability: INSTALL.sh looks if sendmail is in /usr/lib

Bugfix: settings in one mysql configuration file would act
|
|
as the implicit defaults for the next one, which could be
|
|
confusing. Patch by Scott Cotton. File: util/dict_mysql.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: limit the number of "junk" commands that can

Portability: more MacOS X patches by Gerben Wierda.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: RFC 822 requires the presence of at least one
|
|
destination message header. The cleanup daemon now generates
|
|
a generic "To: undisclosed-recipients:;" message header
|
|
when no destination header is present. The header content
|
|
is specified with the undisclosed_recipients_header parameter.
|
|
Problem pointed out by Geoff Gibbs, UK-Human Genome Mapping
|
|
Project-Resource Centre.
|
|
|
|
20000416
|
|
|
|
Workaround: allow <(comment)> as SMTP MAIL FROM address.
|
|
|
|
20000417
|
|
|
|
The SASL authentication in the SMTP server and client works,
|
|
but only on Linux and Solaris, neither of which I wish to
|
|
run on my laptop.
|
|
|
|
20000418
|
|
|
|
Added LMTP support to the smtp-source and smtp-sink utilities
|
|
so that I don't have to install Cyrus IMAP just to test
|
|
LMTP.
|
|
|
|
20000419
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: removed the () from the tokenized representation
|
|
of RFC 822 comments, so that comments with \( or \) can be
|
|
unparsed correctly. Problem reported by Bodo Moeller.
|
|
|
|
20000423
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: mail_copy() could prepend > or . in the middle of
|
|
long lines. Found by code inspection.
|
|
|
|
20000427
|
|
|
|
New code: unescape module that translates C escape sequences
|
|
into their equivalent character values. File: util/unescape.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the pipe mailer now has a way to specify the output
|
|
record delimiter (for example, eol=\r\n). This is necessary
|
|
for transports that require CRLF instead of UNIX-style LF.
|
|
|
|
20000502
|
|
|
|
In order to support timeouts more conveniently, VSTREAMs
|
|
now have built into them the concept of timeout. Instead
|
|
of calling read() and write(), the low-level VSTREAM
|
|
interface now by default uses timed_read() and timed_write()
|
|
which receive a timeout parameter; vstream_ctl(stream,
|
|
VSTREAM_CTL_TIMEOUT...) sets the timeout deadline on a
|
|
stream, and vstream_ftimeout(stream) queries a stream for
|
|
timeout errors. This change simplified timeout handling
|
|
considerably. Files: util/vbuf.h, util/vstream.[hc],
|
|
global/smtp_stream.c, global/timed_ipc.c.
|
|
|
|
20000504
|
|
|
|
Added application context to VSTREAMs, which is passed on
|
|
transparently to application-provided read/write routines.
|
|
vstream_ctl(stream, VSTREAM_CTL_CONTEXT...) sets the context.
|
|
Files: util/vstream.[hc].
|
|
|
|
Added vstream_setjmp() and vstream_longjmp() support to
|
|
make exception handling more convenient. Turn on exception
|
|
handling with vstream_ctl(stream, VSTREAM_CTL_EXCEPT...).
|
|
Files: util/vstream.[hc].
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up the smtp_stream module further and got rid of
|
|
the global state that limited the use of this module to
|
|
one stream per process. Files: global/smtp_stream.[hc].
|
|
|
|
20000505
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTP server now flushes unwritten output before
|
|
tarpit delays, to avoid protocol timeouts in pipelined
|
|
sessions when a client causes lots of errors. Found by
|
|
Lamont Jones, HP. File: smtpd/smtpd_chat.c.
|
|
|
|
Finished the LMTP client, which is based on a modified
|
|
version of the SMTP client by Philippe Prindeville, Mirapoint,
|
|
Inc., later modified by Amos Gouaux, UTDallas, and then
|
|
Wietse ripped it all up again. Currently this talks LMTP
|
|
over TCP only.
|
|
|
|
Feature: override main.cf parameters in master.cf. Specify
|
|
"-o parameter=value" after the program name. This allows
|
|
you to selectively override myhostname etc. See also the
|
|
new smtp_bind_address parameter below.
|
|
|
|
20000506
|
|
|
|
Convenience: the LMTP and SMTP clients now append the local
|
|
domain to unqualified nexthop destinations. This makes it
|
|
more convenient to set up transport maps. Files:
|
|
lmtp/lmtp_addr.c, smtp/smtp_addr.c.
|
|
|
|
Sendmail compatibility: the Postfix SMTP client now skips
|
|
servers that greet the client with a 4xx or 5xx status
|
|
code. To disable, set both smtp_skip_4xx_greeting and
|
|
smtp_skip_5xx_greeting to "no".
|
|
|
|
20000507
|
|
|
|
Portability: NetBSD has migrated to /etc/mail/aliases. We
|
|
can expect to see this happen more often when systems start
|
|
shipping Sendmail 8.10. File: util/sys_defs.h
|
|
|
|
Updated LDAP code by John Hensley, with support for
|
|
dereferencing of LDAP aliases, which have nothing to do
|
|
with Postfix aliases.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "smtp_bind_address=x.x.x.x" specifies the source
|
|
IP address for SMTP client connections. Specify in master.cf
|
|
as "smtp -o smtp_bind_address=x.x.x.x" in order to give
|
|
different delivery agents different source addresses.
|
|
|
|
20000510
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: mailbox_transport did not work with the lmtp
|
|
delivery agent. This dates back to when Postfix used empty
|
|
nexthop information to indicate that a destination was
|
|
local. File: global/deliver_pass.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: configuration parameters for one mysql dictionary
|
|
would become default settings for the next one. File:
|
|
dict_mysql.c. This patch was merged into Postfix a while
|
|
back but apparently that Postfix version was nuked when
|
|
other parts were redesigned. Update by Scott Cotton.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: some Postfix delivery agents would abort on addresses
|
|
of the form `stuff@.' which could be generated only locally.
|
|
Found by Patrik Rak. File: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.

|
Bugfix: Postfix would incorrectly reject domain names with
|
|
adjacent - characters. File: util/valid_hostname.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the 20000505 pipeline tarpit delay flush was wrong
|
|
and caused the client and server to get out of phase. Yuck!
|
|
|
|
20000513
|
|
|
|
Feature: VSTREAMs now have the concept of last fill/flush
|
|
time, which is needed to prevent timeouts with pipelined
|
|
SMTP sessions as detailed in the next item.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: delayed SMTP command/reply flushing to prevent
|
|
sender delays from accumulating too much and causing timeouts
|
|
with pipelined sessions. For example, client-side delays
|
|
happen when a client does DNS lookups to replace hostname
|
|
aliases in MAIL FROM or RCPT TO commands; server-side delays
|
|
happen when an UCE restriction involves a time-consuming
|
|
DNS lookup, or when a server generates tarpit delays.
|
|
Files: lmtp/lmtp_proto.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c, smtpd/smtpd_chat.c.
|
|
|
|
Portability: define ANAL_CAST for compilation environments
|
|
that reject explicit casts between pointers and integral
|
|
types. File: util/sys_defs.h, master/*server.c. Upon closer
|
|
investigation, this turned out to be the result of someone's
|
|
compiler configuration preferences. Therefore the change
|
|
is likely to go away after a code cleanup.

|
Feature: experimental queue manager by Patrik Rak with a
|
|
fancy pre-emptive scheduling algorithm that improves delivery
|
|
performance of mail with few recipients. This queue manager
|
|
is made available as "nqmgr".
|
|
|
|
20000528
|
|
|
|
Feature: the SMTP client SASL password file can contain
|
|
entries for destination domain names (the address remote
|
|
part) not just mail server hostnames. File: smtp_sasl_glue.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: smtpd_sasl_local_domain parameter (default:
|
|
$myhostname) to specify the local SASL authentication realm.
|
|
File: smtpd_sasl_glue.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: specify "body_checks=regexp:/file/name" for a very
|
|
crude one line at a time message body content filter. This
|
|
feature uses the same filtering syntax as the header_checks
|
|
feature. File: cleanup/cleanup_message.c. See also the
|
|
conf/sample-filter.cf file.
|
|
|
|
20000530
|
|
|
|
Feature: full content filtering through external software.
|
|
This uses existing interfaces for sending mail to the
|
|
external content filter and for injecting it back into
|
|
Postfix. Details in FILTER_README. Files: pickup/pickup.c,

Content filtering support for nqmgr by Patrik Rak. File:
|
|
nqmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|

Cleanup: remove Content-Length from incoming mail. The
|
|
sender has no authority over the format of mail as stored
|
|
by the receiving system. File: global/header_opts.h.
|
|
|
|
Feature: rewrite Mail-Followup-To: as sender. Files:
|
|
global/header_opts.[hc].
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: rewrite Reply-To, Errors-To, Return-Receipt-To as
|
|
sender, so that address masquerading works as expected.
|
|
Files: global/header_opts.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: specify "require_home_directory = yes" to prevent
|
|
mail from being delivered to a user whose home directory
|
|
is not mounted. File: local/dotforward.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the pipe deliver agent no longer appends a blank
|
|
line when the F flag (prepend From_ line) is specified.
|
|
Specify the B flag if you need that blank line. The local
|
|
delivery agent no longer appends a blank line to mail that
|
|
is delivered to external command. Files: pipe/pipe.c,
|
|
global/mail_copy.[hc].
|
|
|
|
20000708
|
|
|
|
Portability: support for NEXT/OPENSTEP requires extra
|
|
include file in util/watchdog.c (Masaki Murase).
|
|
|
|
20000715
|
|
|
|
Added macros to turn on vstream/vstring/etc. format string
|
|
checking by gcc, in addition to the checking that was
|
|
already implemented with printfck. File: util/sys_defs.h,
|
|
the macros for PRINTFLIKE and SCANFLIKE. Problem - unlike
|
|
the printfck tool, gcc finds format argument type mismatches
|
|
only in code that isn't #ifdef-ed out.
|
|
|
|
20000718
|

Robustness: make_dirs() now continues when a missing
|
|
directory is created by another process.
|
|
|
|
20000720
|
|
|
|
Feature: the queue manager now logs the number of recipients

when opening a queue file (a zero recipient count is logged
|
|
with older queue files). File: global/opened.c.
|
|
|
|
20000726

Robustness: if relayhost is specified but the host does
|
|
not exist, defer mail instead of bouncing it (which would
|

Logging: the SMTP server's SASL code logs the authentication
|
|
method along with an authentication failure. Suggested by
|
|
Ronald F. Guilmette @ monkeys.com.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: some systems have file size resource limits
|
|
that cannot be represented with the off_t type that is used
|
|
by standard functions such as lseek(2). Problem reported

|
|
|
|
Feature: all this discussion about when to reject mail and
|
|
when not made me decide to implement a TCP-based map type
|
|
so that it becomes relatively simple to implement dynamic
|
|
access controls, for example, hold off mail from an unknown
|
|
client or sender until we have completed some investigation,
|
|
after which we will either reject or accept.
|
|
|
|
However, this code is turned off until it is finished.

Robustness: the dns client now rejects malformed domain
|
|
names rather than depending on the DNS to report that the
|

server failure code as found out by Patrik Rak. File:
|
|
dns/dns_lookup.c.
|
|

Cleanup: in a transport table entry, do not ignore port

nqmgr update from Patrik Rak for the changed queue manager
|
|
to delivery agent protocol.
|
|
|
|
Lame feature: syslog_facility parameter to control where
|
|
syslogd sends Postfix logging (default: syslog_facility =
|
|
mail). However, errors during command-line parsing are
|
|
still logged with the default syslog facility, as are errors
|
|
while processing the main.cf file (surprise). Based on
|
|
code by Andrew McNamara.
|
|
|
|
20000923
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: new bounce logfile API so that Postfix can change
|
|
to an extensible bounce logfile format with per-recipient
|
|
sender addresses (needed for VERP and for reporting local
|
|
list delivery problems to the list owner) and other
|
|
attributes. File: global/bounce_log.[hc].
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: replaced the ad-hoc logfile parsing code in showq
|
|
by something that uses the generic bounce logfile API.
|
|
|
|
20000924
|
|
|

|
service now uses the generic bounce logfile API. File:
|
|
bounce/bounce_notify_service.c, bounce/bounce_notify_util.c.
|

Workaround: sendmail allows MAIL FROM and RCPT TO envelope

|
|
|
|
20000926-20001003
|
|
|
|
Feature: a "flush" server that keeps per-destination records
|
|
of deferred mail. It is the basis of a faster ETRN and

"sendmail -qRsite" implementation. This code was rewritten
|
|
half a dozen times.

parameters can now be specified in user-specified units by
|
|
providing an appropriate suffix: s (seconds), m (minutes),
|
|
h (hours), d (days), w (weeks). unit. This was needed so
|
|
that I could test the flush server code in a reasonable
|
|
way (its timeouts are normally specified in days or hours,
|
|
and I don't have that much time for testing). Other Postfix
|
|
time interval parameters will be migrated as time permits.

Horror: postmap and postalias (newaliases) silently lose
|
|
the file lock while building a lookup table with Berkeley
|
|
DB 2.x and later on Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, and UNIXWARE.
|
|
The result is that table lookups fail while the table is
|
|
being built, so that mail is lost. In order to avoid this
|
|
misbehavior one has to use an undocumented feature that is
|
|
NOT available with the DB1.85 compatibility interface.
|
|
Therefore, Postfix now supports three Berkeley DB programming
|
|
interfaces of increasing complexity. File: util/dict_db.c.
|
|

Bugfix: some character manipulations were not portable for
|
|
signed/unsigned characters. Files: global/quote_821_local.c,
|
|
global/quote_822_local.c.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: apparently, some software sends SMTP mail that
|
|
begins with "From sender time-stamp". Sendmail silently
|
|
ignores such RFC violating garbage, and therefore Postfix
|
|
needs to jump another hoop. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.

Documentation: the virtual(5) man page now documents both

|
|
Bugfix: per-destination deferred mail logfiles were case

|
mail logfiles, so that not all mail would be flushed with
|
|
ETRN. Reported by Ralph Hildebrandt. Files: flush/flush.c.
|
|
|

Portability: added (int) casts to printf-like arguments

|
|
20001121:
|

Compatibility: Postfix now retries delivery when an external

behavior from Sendmail. File: global/pipe_command.c.
|
|
|
|
20001123-30
|
|
|
|
Feature: mailbox locking is now configurable. The configuration
|
|
parameter name is "mailbox_delivery_lock". Depending on
|
|
the operating system one can specify one or more of "flock",
|
|
"fcntl" and "dotlock". Use "postconf -l" to find out what
|
|
locking methods Postfix supports. The default setting is
|
|
system dependent. All mailbox file opens are now done by
|
|
one central mbox_open() routine. This affects the operation
|
|
of the postlock command, and of local delivery to mailbox
|
|
or /file/name. Files: util/safe_open.c, util/myflock.c,
|
|
global/deliver_flock.c, global/mbox_conf.c, global/mbox_open.c.
|
|
local/mailbox.c, local/file.c, postlock/postlock.c.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the old sun_mailtool_compatibility parameter
|
|
is being phased out. It still works (by turning off
|
|
flock/fcntl locks), but logs a warning as a reminder that
|
|
it will go away.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: when delivering to /file/name, the local
|
|
delivery agent now logs a warning when it is unable to
|
|
create a /file/name.lock file, and then delivers the mail
|
|
(older Postfix versions would silently deliver).
|
|
|
|
20001202

Feature: specify "smtp_never_send_ehlo = no" to disable
|
|
ESMTP. Someone asked for this long ago. Files: smtp/smtp.c,

smtp/smtp_proto.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature? Bugfix? The smtp client now skips server replies
|
|
that do not start with "CODE SPACE" or with "CODE HYPHEN",
|
|
and flags them as protocol errors. Older versions silently
|
|
treat "CODE TEXT" as "CODE SPACE TEXT". File: smtp/smtp_chat.c.

|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the Postfix master daemon no longer imported
|
|
MAIL_CONF and some other necessary environment parameters.
|
|
Postfix now has explicit "import_environment" and
|
|
"export_environment" configuration parameters that control

Bugfix: the local_destination_concurrency_limit paramater
|
|
no longer worked as per-user concurrency limit but instead

Small dirt: postconf -m produced too much output due to a

for the changed name_mask API.
|

|
|
|
Workaround: due to an error, record type L for "filter

|
transport name" was the same as that for the already existing
|
|
record type L for "record not ending in newline", causing
|
|
the pickup daemon to discard all records not ending in
|
|
newline. The code cannot be changed without breaking
|

Code cleanup: mailbox_transport and fallback_transport no
|
|
longer allow the user to omit the transport part of a
|
|
transport:destination specification. That just did not make
|
|
any sense at all. The :destination part is still optional.

Feature: most time-related configuration parameters take
|
|
a one-letter suffix that specifies the time unit: s
|
|
(second), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
|
|
"postconf -d" output includes the default time unit. Files:
|
|
many.
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: in a CONFIG_TIME_TABLE, the default time unit
|
|
is now always the last character of a default time value.
|
|
It is no longer necessary to specify the default time unit
|
|
separately. This change means that it will not be possible
|
|
to specify default values in the form of function calls,
|
|
but that was unused anyway. Files: global/mail_conf_time.c,
|
|
and user code.

code needs more work. File: dict_mysql.c.
|
|
|
|
20001218
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the MYSQL client did not provide function pointers
|
|
for unimplemented operations, causing "postmap -d" to dump
|
|
core instead if issuing an error message. This is what I
|
|
get for accepting code that I cannot test myself.
|

20001221
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup: configuration parameters that are $name

|
|
Bumped the default mailbox file size limits to 50MB.
|
|
|
|
20010202
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: fixed the way the master resets the file size limit
|
|
to avoid problems when a Postfix daemon updates a queue
|
|
file. The file size limit is now increased to INT_MAX if
|
|
it is smaller than INT_MAX, so that it is less likely to
|
|
interfere than the old setting of message_size_limit.
|
|
|
|
Feature: disable mailbox size limits for the local and

|
virtual delivery agents by setting mailbox_size_limit or
|
|
virtual_mailbox_limit to zero.

were a recipient, instead of expanding it as $nexthop or
|
|
as $sender. Reported by Michael Tokarev. File: pipe/pipe.c.
|
|
|
|
20010221
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: poor LMTP performance for domains that are listed
|
|
in $mydestination, because Postfix would send one recipient
|
|
at a time, with multiple deliveries of recipients of the
|
|
same message in parallel; a similar problem could exist
|
|
with virus scanning and with firewall relay hosts that
|
|
forward mail for $mydestination to an inside machine. This
|
|
behavior is now changed to depend on the transport-specific
|
|
xxx_destination_recipient_limit parameter. This also means
|
|
that you can now get qmail behavior for SMTP deliveries by
|
|
setting smtp_destination_recipient_limit=1. File:
|
|
{qmgr,nqmgr}/qmgr_message.c.

|
Bugfix: the fast ETRN flush server could not handle [ipaddr]
|

because it depends on Postfix main.cf parameter information.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: after sending a trigger message over a socket,
|
|
do not immediately close the client side, but close it from
|
|
a background thread that waits until the server closes the
|
|
socket first. This avoids trouble with socket implementations

The default setting of smtp_always_send_ehlo has changed

from 0 (send EHLO if server greets with ESMTP) to 1 (always

Feature: "postsuper -r queueID" re-queues a message, and
|
|
"postsuper -r ALL" re-queues all mail. The message is moved
|
|
to the maildrop queue so that the pickup daemon will copy
|
|
it to a new queue file, and so that address rewriting will
|
|
be done again. This is useful after changes of address
|
|
rewriting or virtual mappings.

Bugfix: the SMTP and LMTP clients claimed that a queue file
|
|
needed to be delivered again (even when all recipients were
|
|
erased from the queue file) when no QUIT or RSET reply was
|
|
received (by default, this does not happen with SMTP mail
|
|
because the SMTP client does not wait for QUIT replies and
|
|
does not send RSET to deliver mail). As a result of the
|
|
same bug the LMTP client followed a dangling pointer when
|
|
sending QUIT after process idle timeout while the LMTP
|
|
server had disconnected. Files: smtp/smtp_proto.c,

20010607
|
|
|
|
Safety: dropped the RFC 2821 compliant code that treats

it solved. Files: smtp/smtp_proto.c, lmtp/lmtp_proto.c.

Workaround: some MTAs fall on their face when they receive

unexpectedly long lines. From now on, Postfix defaults to

breaking long lines at 2048 (like Sendmail so it has got
|
|
to be right). To get the old, content preserving, behavior
|

specify "smtp_truncate_lines = no". File: smtp/smtp_proto.c.

|
|
|
|
Feature: VERP support, based on a patch by Peng Yong, and

bounce/bounce_notify_verp.c, qmqpd/qmqpd.c, plus a couple
|
|
support routines in the global library.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: with recipient_delimiter=+ (or any character other
|
|
than -) Postfix will now recognize address extensions even
|
|
with owner-foo+extension addresses. This is necessary to
|
|
make VERP work for mailing lists.

|
the new VERP delimiter record. Fix by Patrik Rak.
|
|
|
|
20010711
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: you can now specify the VERP delimiter characters
|
|
on the sendmail(1) command line, but they are still optional.
|
|
|
|
Safety: with maildir style delivery and with hashed mailboxes
|
|
the system mail spool directory must not be world writable.
|
|
|
|
20010713
|
|
|
|
Safety: the verp_delimiter_filter parameter (default: -=+)

limits what characters Postfix accepts as VERP delimiter
|
|
characters.

|
20010719
|
|
|
|
Feature: stiffer coupling between mail receiving rates and
|
|
mail delivery rates, using a trivial token-based scheme,
|
|
implemented by reading and writing an in-memory pipe. The
|
|
queue manager produces one token when it retrieves mail
|
|
from the incoming queue. The cleanup daemon consumes one
|
|
token when it adds mail to the incoming queue. If no token
|
|
is available the cleanup server pauses for $in_flow_delay
|
|
seconds and proceeds anyway. The delay allows mail sending
|
|
process to catch up and access the disk while not blocking
|
|
inbound mail. Valid delays are 0..10 seconds.

Duchovni, morganstanley.com. In order to fix, introduced
|
|
address resolver result caching, which should also help to

|
speed up sender/recipient address restriction processing.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the not yet announced DUNNO access table lookup

Safety: the SMTP server now sends a 4xx (try again later)

|
Code cleanup: permit_mx_backup implements the old behavior
|
|
(accept mail if the local MTA is MX relay), and allows an
|
|
additional restriction via the permit_mx_backup_networks
|
|
parameter (accept mail only if the primary MX hosts match
|
|
the specified list of network blocks). This second restriction
|
|
is now entirely optional, for backwards compatibility.

|
times to the result of a canonical or virtual map lookup.
|
|
File: global/mail_addr_map.c. Fix by Victor Duchovni,
|
|
Morgan Stanley.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: split_addr() would split an address even when there
|
|
was no data before the recipient delimiter. In combination
|
|
with the above bug, this could cause an address to grow
|
|
exponentially in size. Problem reported by Victor Duchovni,
|
|
Morgan Stanley. File: global/split_addr.c.
|
|
|
|
20010918
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the mail_addr_map() fix was almost but not quite

to Victor Duchovni and Liviu Daia.

|
|
Cleanup: Postfix no longer flushes the whole deferred queue
|

Code cleanup: replaced the ugly mail_print() and mail-scan()

submitted mail was deferred due to "soft_bounce = yes".
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: The LDAP client dropped any entries that don't have
|
|
the result_attribute, but errored out when a DN didn't

Lame workaround for ESTALE errors with mail delivery over
|
|
NFS. Additional bandages were added to the local delivery
|
|
agent. However, Wietse maintains that Postfix offers no
|
|
guarantee for reliable delivery over NFS.
|
|
|
|
Feature: put "warn_if_reject" before an smtpd restriction,
|
|
and that restriction logs warnings without rejecting mail.
|
|
This makes it easier to test configurations "live" without
|
|
having to lose mail. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20011107
|
|
|
|
Workaround: in order to get mail past PIX firewall bugs,
|
|
the Postfix SMTP client now blocks until the socket send
|
|
buffer is empty before sending the final ".<CR><LF>". Files:
|
|
util/sock_empty_wait.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c. Changed into

code.
|
|
|
|
20011109
|
|
|
|
Workaround: Linux and Solaris systems have no reasonable
|
|
way to block until a socket drains. On these systems Postfix

|
".<CR><LF>" bugs. File: util/sock_empty_wait.c.

20011115
|
|
|
|
Feature: mailbox_command_maps no longer requires that every

New parent_domain_matches_subdomains parameter. This lists
|
|
all the Postfix features where a domain name matches itself
|
|
and all its subdomains (instead of requiring ".domain.name"
|
|
for subdomain matches). Planning for future backwards
|
|
compatibility :-) File: global/match_parent_style.c.
|
|
|
|
Workaround: simplified the PIX ".<CR><LF>" bug to always
|
|
sleep for 10 seconds. File: smtp/smtp_proto.c.

|
|
|
Bugfix: spurious postmaster notifications because some flag
|
|
was not reset.
|
|
|
|
Feature: new parameter smtpd_sender_login_maps that specifies
|
|
the (SASL) login name that owns a MAIL FROM address.
|
|
Specify a regexp table in order to require a simple one-to-one
|
|
mapping. This is used in the reject_sender_login_mismatch
|
|
sender anti-spoofing feature.
|
|
|
|
Feature: restriction reject_sender_login_mismatch refuses
|
|
a MAIL FROM address when $smtpd_sender_login_maps specifies
|
|
an owner but the client is not (SASL) logged in as the MAIL
|
|
FROM address owner, or when a client is (SASL) logged in
|
|
but the client login name does not own the MAIL FROM address
|
|
according to $smtpd_sender_login_maps. File: smtpd/smpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: added some redundancy to the LMTP_README
|
|
file so people can keep track of the difference between
|
|
the Postfix LMTP client and the non-Postfix LMTP server.
|
|
|
|
20011126
|
|
|
|
Feature: smtpd_noop_commands specifies a list of commands
|
|
that are treated as NOOP (no operation) commands, without
|
|
syntax check or state change. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the "mark queue file as corrupt" code did not work
|
|
because it was never used. Files: global/mark_corrupt.c,
|
|
global/mail_copy.c, global/pipe_command.c, *qmgr/qmgr_active.c,
|

Bugfix: the bounce daemon broke in the unlikely case of a
|
|
non-existing queue file. File: bounce/bounce_notify_util.c.
|
|
|
|
20011127
|
|
|
|
Feature: added WARN command to header/body_checks files as
|
|
proposed by Michael Tokarev. File: cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the postdrop program was broken after the change
|
|
of Postfix internal protocols. This broke "sendmail -bs"
|
|
mail submissions with "secure" maildrop directory. Reported
|
|
by Craig Loomis, apo.nmsu.edu. File: postdrop/postdrop.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: a first start at fault injection for testing
|
|
unlikely error scenarios (such as corrupt queue files).
|
|
Parameter: fault_injection_code, must be left at zero for
|
|
production use.
|
|
|
|
20011128
|
|
|
|
Robustness: add a file size limit to the sendmail and
|
|
postdrop submission programs to stop run-away process
|
|
accidents. This is not a defense against DOS attack. Files:
|
|
sendmail/sendmail.c, postdrop/postdrop.c.
|
|
|
|
That resulted in a considerable amount of work to properly
|
|
propagate "file too large" conditions back to the sendmail
|
|
mail posting user interface. Took the opportunity to express
|
|
other mail submission fatal exits with the <sysexits.h>
|
|
exit status codes. Files: sendmail/sendmail.c,
|
|
postdrop/postdrop.c.

Maintenance: dict_ldap.c wasn't updated after the revision
|
|
of the string matching routines. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
|
|
|
|
20011208
|
|
|
|
Maintenance: LDAP module and documentation from LaMont
|
|
Jones. This version adds verbose logging for LDAP library
|
|
routines. Files: src/util/dict_ldap.[hc], LDAP_README,
|
|
conf/sample-ldap.cf

|
|
|
Bugfix? Avoid surprises with source routed destinations
|
|
and OK entries in SMTPD access maps. File: smtpd/smtpd_access.c.
|
|
|
|
Security: "postfix check" looks for damage by well-intended
|
|
but misguided use of "chown -R postfix /var/spool/postfix".
|
|
That would make chrooted Postfix less secure than non-chrooted
|
|
Postfix. These extra tests may cause complaints with
|
|
third-party patches such as TLS that introduce their own
|
|
files into the jail.
|
|
|
|
Feature: static map type that always returns the map name
|
|
as lookup value, regardless of lookup key value. Contributed
|
|
Jeff Miller (jeffm at ghostgun.com)
|
|
|
|
Feature: turn off the PIX <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> workaround for
|
|
the first mail delivery attempt, i.e. when mail is queued
|
|
for less than $smtp_pix_workaround_threshold_time (default:
|
|
500) seconds. New parameter $smtp_pix_workaround_delay_time
|
|
to control the delay before sending .<CR><LF> (default: 10
|
|
seconds) when doing the PIX <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> workaround.

|
|
Bugfix: the 20011128 change in sendmail and postdrop did
|
|
not handle the case of message_size_limit=0. Fix by Will
|
|
Day, Georgia Tech.
|
|
|
|
20011212
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: The SMTP server now accepts <CR><CR><LF> as
|
|
if the client sent <CR><LF>. Reportedly, some badly written
|
|
windows software produces such garbage, and some badly
|
|
written windows anti-VIRUS software cannot handle such
|
|
garbage. File: global/smtp_stream.c.
|
|
|
|
20011214
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: postmap/postalias queries ignored the -f flag.
|
|
Reported by Hamish Marson.
|
|
|
|
20011217
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: Sendmail now has a -L option to set the
|
|
syslogging label. Postfix sendmail uses syslog_name instead,
|
|
and ignores the -L option.
|
|
|
|
Security: subtle hardening of the Postfix chroot jail,
|
|
Postfix queue file permissions and access methods, in case
|
|
someone compromises the postfix account. Michael Tokarev,
|
|
who received the insights from Solar Designer, who tested
|
|
Postfix with a kernel module that is paranoid about open()
|
|
calls. Files: master/master_wakeup.c, util/fifo_trigger.c,
|
|
postfix-script.
|
|
|
|
Convenience: issue a warning instead of aborting when the
|
|
local machine name is not in fully-qualified domain form.
|
|
This would otherwise break initial postfix installation
|
|
which needs the postconf command. File: global/mail_params.c.
|
|
|
|
20011220
|
|
|
|
Added more garbage detection to postconf -e input processing.
|
|
|
|
20011221
|
|
|
|
Feature: SMTPD access map lookups of null sender addresses.
|
|
If your access maps cannot store or look up null string
|
|
key values, specify "smtpd_null_access_lookup_key = <>"
|
|
and the null sender address will be looked up as <> instead.
|
|
File: src/smtpd_access.c.
|
|
|
|
20011223
|
|
|
|
Safety: configuration file comments no longer span multiple
|
|
lines when the next line begins with whitespace; multi-line
|
|
input is no longer terminated by a comment line, by an all
|
|
white space line, or by an empty line. Michael Tokarev made
|
|
the crucial suggestion to simplify the readline routine.
|
|
Files: util/readlline.c, postconf/postconf.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: proper detection of big number overflow in EHLO
|
|
and MAIL FROM size announcements, with input from Victor
|
|
Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. Files: global/off_cvt.c,
|
|
smtpd/smtpd.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c, util/alldig.c.
|
|
|
|
Forward compatibility: added queue file record types for
|
|
original recipient and for generic named attributes.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: safe_open() now returns sensible errno values so
|
|
that the fifo_trigger() external interface is restored.
|
|
|
|
20011225
|
|
|
|
Upgrade: PCRE_README now describes PCRE version 3.x.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: flush SMTPD command history upon receipt of EHLO,
|
|
RSET, and upon DATA completion, only if it exceeds
|
|
$smtpd_history_flush_threshold lines (default: 100).
|
|

|
|
|
|
Bugfix: a readlline() error message showed less text than
|
|
intended. Christian von Roques.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: postfix now installs with group-writable maildrop
|
|
directory and with a set-gid postdrop mail submission
|
|
command. The pickup service is now unprivileged. The
|
|
world-writable maildrop directory no longer exists.
|
|
|
|
The cleanup service is now public, in preparation for local
|
|
sendmail/postdrop mail submission that avoids the maildrop
|
|
queue directory while Postfix is up.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: moved the main.cf/master.cf file editing from the
|
|
postfix-script file to the INSTALL.sh file.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: INSTALL.sh no longer accepts "no" as the destination
|
|
of Postfix manual pages.
|
|
|
|
20011230
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the code for "mailq", "sendmail -q", and for
|
|
"sendmail -qRsite" was moved from the sendmail command to
|
|
a new set-gid postqueue command. The pickup and qmgr FIFOs
|
|
are no longer world writable. Files: sendmail/sendmail.c,
|
|
postqueue/postqueue.c.
|
|
|
|
20020101
|
|
|
|
Security: new alternate_config_directories parameter that
|
|
specifies what directories a set-gid command will accept
|
|
as its configuration directory. The list must be specified
|
|
in the default main.cf file. File: global/mail_conf.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: "sendmail -qRsite" is no longer implemented by
|
|
connecting to the SMTP port. It is now implemented by
|
|
talking to the fast flush service. File: postqueue/postqueue.c.
|
|
|
|
20020203
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: INSTALL.sh now records all installation information
|
|
in the main.cf file. The now obsolete install.cf file is
|
|
used only when upgrading from an older Postfix release.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: INSTALL.sh now takes name=value settings on the
|
|
command line, and has a new "-upgrade" command line option
|
|
to turn on non-interactive installation.
|
|
|
|
Security: additional run-time checks to discourage sharing
|
|
of Postfix user/group ID values with other accounts.
|
|
|
|
20020105
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: SMTPD access maps now return DUNNO (undetermined)
|
|
instead of OK when a recipient address contains multiple
|
|
domains (user@dom1@dom2, etcetera). Victor Duchovni, Morgan
|
|
Stanley. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|

|
Bugfix: postfix-script, when creating a missing maildrop
|
|
queue directory, still referenced install.cf when setting
|
|
maildrop directory group ownership; and the postfix command
|
|
did not export the setgid_group parameter to the postfix-script
|
|
shell script. Victor Duchovni.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: postfix-script, when creating a missing public
|
|
queue directory, did not set group ownership of the public
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
20020109
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: rewrote the Postfix installation procedure again.
|
|
It is now separated into 1) a primary installation script
|
|
(postfix-install) that installs files locally or that builds
|
|
a package for distribution and that stores file owner and
|
|
permission information in /etc/postfix/post-files, and 2)
|
|
a post-installation script (/etc/postfix/post-install) that
|
|
creates missing directories, that sets file/directory
|
|
ownership and permissions, and that upgrades existing
|
|
configuration files if necessary.
|
|
|
|

for the install scripts by Victor Duchovni and Simon Mudd.
|
|
|
|
20020113
|
|
|
|
Rewrote postfix-install. The postfix-files file now controls
|
|
what is installed. Refined the semantics of many post-install
|
|
operations. post-install now auto-saves settings that
|
|
override main.cf.
|
|
|
|
20020114
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: alternate_config_directories did not take comma or
|
|
whitespace as separators. File: global/mail_conf.c. Victor
|
|
Duchovni, Morgan Stanley.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the rewritten postfix-install script did not chattr
|
|
+S the Postfix queue.
|
|
|
|
20020115
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: added sample_directory and readme_directory
|
|
installation parameters for sample configuration files and
|
|
for README files. Files: postconf.c, postfix-install,
|
|
conf/postfix-files, conf/post-install.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: the postfix command now exports all installation
|
|
parameter settings, and input filters the environment, so
|
|
that the startup shell scripts produce a consistent result.
|
|
Files: postconf.c.

Portability: patch from LaMont Jones for compiling dict_ldap.c

Bugfix: postqueue -s dereferenced a null pointer when given
|
|
a numerical domain argument. LaMont Jones, HP.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: smtpd now logs a warning when permit_sasl_authenticated
|

is used while SASL authentication is disabled, instead of
|
|
simply ignoring the restriction. LaMont Jones, HP. File:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd.c.

20020124
|
|
|
|
Portability: post-install now requests that command_directory
|
|
is given on the command line when the postconf command is
|
|
in an unusual place.
|
|
|
|
Safety: extra code to detect and report Berkeley DB version
|
|
mismatches between compile time and run time. This test
|
|
is limited to mismatches in the major version number only.
|
|
File: util/dict_db.c. Based on code by Lawrence Greenfield,
|
|
Carnegie-Mellon university.
|
|
|
|
Safety: the postfix command and the master daemon abort if
|
|
they are running set-uid.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: the postmap manual page described an out of
|
|
date input file format.

|
|
Problem reported by Kurt Andersen, Agilent.
|
|
|
|
20020201
|
|
|
|
Workaround: changed the default smtpd_null_access_lookup_key
|
|
setting to <>, because some Bezerkeloid DB implementations
|
|
can't handle null-length lookup keys. File: global/mail_params.h.
|
|

Bugfix: backed out a null-length address panic call by
|
|
ignoring the problem, like Postfix did in the past. File:
|
|
global/resolve_local.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: "postfix check" will now warn if /usr/lib/sendmail

Sanity: additional permission checks for "postfix check"
|
|
that warn for setgid_group group ownership mismatches. by
|
|
Matthias Andree, uni-dortmund.de. File: conf/postfix-script.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: "postfix check" used a too simplistic way to
|
|
recognize file ownership (grepping ls output). It now uses
|
|
the recently discovered "find -prune". Peter Bieringer,

Workaround: Solaris bug 4380626: strcasecmp() and strncasecmp()

Cleanup: more graceful handling of long physical message
|
|
header lines upon input. Physical header lines can now
|
|
extend up to $header_size_limit characters. When a logical
|
|
message header is too long, the excess text is discarded
|
|
and Postfix no longer switches to body mode, to avoid
|
|
breaking MIME encapsulation. Based on code by Victor
|

Cleanup: more graceful handling of long physical message
|
|
header or body lines upon output by the SMTP client. The
|
|
SMTP client output line length is controlled by a new
|
|
parameter smtp_line_length_limit (default: 990; specify 0
|
|
to disable the limit). Long lines are folded by inserting

<CR> <LF> <SPACE>, to avoid breaking MIME encapsulation.

Cleanup: postqueue silently ignored command-line arguments

Cleanup: revised and simplified the transport map semantics.
|
|
Null transport or nexhop fields now mean: "do not change":
|
|
use what would be used if the transport map did not exist.
|
|
This change eliminated a lot of code. The incompatibility
|
|
is that a null transport field no longer defaults to
|
|
$default_transport, but to $local_transport or $default_transport
|
|
depending on the destination, and that a transport map only
|
|
overrides relayhost when the table specifies explicit
|
|
nexthop information. Files: trivial-rewrite/transport.c,

HP. The LDAP bind timeout now works thanks to Victor
|
|
Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: specify "resolve_dequoted_address = no" to prevent
|
|
Postfix from looking inside quotes for extra @ etc. characters
|
|
when resolving an address. This behavior is technically
|
|
more correct, but it opens a mail relay loophole with "user

20020514
|
|
|

Ralf Hildebrandt. File: global/tok822_parse.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: user@domain@domain is no longer accepted by the

|
|
|
20020515
|
|
|
|
Workaround: flush the SMTP client output buffer when no
|
|
output has happened for 10+ seconds. This prevents the
|
|
socket from timing out, in case DNS CNAME expansion is
|
|
slow. Problem experienced by Alex Erdelyi, peregrine.com.
|
|
File: smtp/smtp_chat.c. We did the same thing for the SMTP
|
|
server years ago, and one wonders why the coin didn't drop
|
|
at the time that the SMTP client could suffer from a similar
|
|
problem.
|
|
|

|
|
|
20020515-21
|
|
|
|
Feature: new MIME parser, written from scratch, that
|
|
recognizes the structure of MIME encapsulated mail. Influenced
|
|
by comments from Victor Duchovni. This code can detect but
|
|
will not decode obscure MIME formats or obscure character
|
|
string encoding that Liviu Daia expresses concern about.
|
|
|
|
MIME header scanning now happens in header_checks, and is
|
|
faster than body_checks could ever be. This also eliminates
|
|
the problem with multi-line MIME headers being matched one
|
|
line at a time. Files: global/mime_state.[hc],
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
|

Feature: 8-bit to quoted-printable conversion. First use

Logging: the Postfix SMTP and LMTP clients now report the
|
|
the protocol stage when they report a server reply. File:

smtp/smtp_proto.c, lmtp/lmtp_proto.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the SMTP server warned about ignored client attributes
|

(these were introduced 20020510) in mail that was submitted
|
|
with "sendmail -bs". File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
20020525
|
|
|
|
Feature: separation of header checks into header_checks
|
|
(all primary headers except MIME related headers),
|
|
mime_header_checks (all MIME headers including MIME headers
|
|
at the start of messages) and nested_header_checks (headers
|
|
of attached messages, except MIME related headers).
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: broke out the header value parser from the MIME
|
|
processor so that the code can be reused elsewhere. File:
|
|
global/header_token.c.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: Postfix now recognizes "name :" as a valid
|
|
message header, but normalizes it to "name:" form or else
|

|
Bugfix: the SMTP server now disallows RCPT TO:<"">, just

like it disallows RCPT TO:<>. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: disable_mime_input_processing=yes/no controls
|
|
whether Postfix recognizes (and optionally enforces) MIME
|
|
formats while receiving mail. Default is NO.
|
|
|
|
Feature: disable_mime_output_conversion=yes/no controls
|
|
whether Postfix will convert 8BITMIME to 7BIT mail when
|
|
delivering mail to an SMTP server that does not announce
|
|
8BITMIME support. Default is NO.
|
|
|
|
Feature: strict_8bitmime=yes/no controls whether Postfix
|
|
rejects 8-bit characters in headers and 7-bit body parts.
|
|
This blocks mail from poorly written software, including
|
|
majordomo approval requests that contain a valid 8BITMIME
|
|
email message, as well as mail that is piped into ancient
|
|
/bin/mail implementations that do not MIME format 8-bit
|
|
content. Default is NO.
|
|
|
|
Feature: strict_mime_encoding_domain=yes/no controls whether
|
|
Postfix rejects illegal content transfer encodings for
|
|
multipart/* and message/*. This blocks mail from poorly
|
|
written software. Default is NO.
|
|
|
|
20020527
|
|
|
|
Feature: "FILTER transport:nexthop" in header/body checks.
|
|
After the message is queued, the message is sent through
|
|
a content filter. This requires different cleanup servers
|
|
before and after the filter, with header/body checks turned
|
|
off in the second cleanup server.
|
|
|
|
20020528
|
|
|
|
Feature: strict_7bit_headers and strict_8bitmime_body are
|
|
now separately available. To to turn on both, use
|
|
strict_8bitmime.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: abandon the use of isspace(3) in the parsing of
|
|
RFC822 message headers. Files: global/lex_822.h and lots
|
|
of little places.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: replace domain.name by domain.tld in the

|
example config files. The domain exists. They were getting

Bugfix: The Postfix sendmail command did not export the
|
|
MAIL_CONFIG environment setting to the postdrop command.
|
|
File: global/mail_config.h.
|
|
|
|
Incompatibility: by default, turn on the PCRE_DOTALL flag,
|
|
so that PCRE patterns will match multi-line message headers

Feature: user@domain transport map lookup, based on code

|
global/strip_addr.c, trivial-rewrite/transport.c.
|
|
|
|
20020610
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: making user@domain transport map lookups work with
|
|
sender-based routing was a bit tricky, because the null

address must be handled sensibly. Files: global/resolve_clnt.c,
|
|
trivial-rewrite/resolve.c. It ain't perfect yet, but close.

20020613
|

|
|
Bugfix: postsuper -r was broken as of 20020510. The cleanup
|
|
daemon would discard mail with MIME type information. Moved
|
|
a bunch of sanity checks from the cleanup daemon to the
|
|
pickup daemon, so the checks are in one place. Problem

20020705
|
|
|

|
|
Portability: in the master daemon, the default now is to
|
|
enable the signal handler code that writes a byte into a
|

pipe, instead of the signal handler code that sets a global
|
|
flag and hopes that select() will somehow wake up. File:
|
|
master/master_sig.c. This is needed for some IRIX and
|
|
UnixWare versions, but it should also produce a robust
|
|
result on all other supported systems.
|
|
|
|
Performance: the default SMTP connection establishment
|
|
timeout is now 30 seconds, instead of the system default
|
|
which can be atrociously large.

When DNS lookup fails while delivering mail, report not
|
|
only the domain name but also the DNS record type. This
|
|
should clue in people who ask why Postfix can't find a
|
|
domain while nslookup can. File: dns/dns_lookup.c.

Bugfix: undo change made at 20020610 that causes the trivial
|
|
resolver client to loop when an address consists entirely
|
|
of @ and . characters. File: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: Postfix no longer strips multiple '.' at the end
|
|
of a domain name. One '.' is silently tolerated. Files:
|
|
trivial-rewrite/rewrite.c, trivial-rewrite/resolve.c,
|
|
global/resolve_local.c. This policy is too distributed.

Feature: @domain.tld catch-all map entries for the virtual
|
|
mail delivery agent. Files: global/virtual8_maps_find.c,
|
|
virtual/mailbox.c, smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the virtual mail delivery agent now accepts address
|
|
extensions (user+foo@domain.tld), ignores them when looking
|
|
up users in its tables, but displays them in Delivered-To:
|
|
message headers. File: global/virtual8_maps_find.c.
|
|
|
|
20020716
|
|
|
|
Feature: domain names in a masquerade_domains list can now

|
|
|
Bugfix: unnecessary lookups for extended addresses by the
|
|
virtual8_maps_find() routine. Victor Duchovni. His patch
|
|
did not work, nor did my own, but the present version should
|
|
be OK. File: global/virtual8_maps_find.c.
|
|
|
|
20020719
|
|
|
|
Workaround: log a warning when an SMTP client name->address
|
|
lookup results in a numeric IP address, and set the client
|
|
hostname to "unknown". Some gethostbyname() implementations
|
|
will actually accept such garbage and thereby allow sites
|
|
to defeat the "reject_unknown_client" restriction. Problem
|
|
reported by Wolfgang Rupprecht, fix based on analysis (but
|
|
not code) by Victor Duchovni.

Bugfix: memory leaks in the LDAP client by Victor Duchovni.

|
|
|
20020729
|
|
|
|
Weird: installed RedHat 3.03 inside VMware, and no change
|
|
was needed to build Postfix, except to recognize the Linux
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: some mailers will announce ESMTP features in their
|
|
HELO (not EHLO) response. Postfix did not ignore them.
|
|
File: smtp/smtp_proto.c.
|
|
|
|
20020731
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: permit_naked_ip_address is unsafe (especially when
|
|
used with smtpd_recipient_restrictions) and will go away.
|
|
Postfix now logs a warning. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20020801
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the warning message for matched header/body content
|
|
was misleading. File: cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: moved the "postsuper -r ALL" operation after the
|
|
"postsuper -s" check that makes queue file names match
|
|
inode numbers. This avoids loss of mail in the unlikely
|
|
case that someone runs "postsuper -sr ALL" on a queue that
|
|
was copied from another place.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "postsuper -h" to put mail "on hold" and "postsuper
|
|
-H" to release mail that was placed "on hold". This involves
|
|
a new queue, which is appropriately named "hold". Files:
|
|
postsuper/postsuper.c, showq/showq.c.
|
|
|
|
20020803
|
|
|
|
Feature: when a Delivered-To: mail delivery loop is detected,
|
|
send the bounce to the mailing list owner. This required
|
|
changes to the local delivery agent, a new bounce client
|
|
stub, and a new bounce server stub and support routines
|
|
for one recipient bouncing. Files: local/recipient.c,
|
|
global/bounce_log.c, global/bounce.c, bounce/bounce.c,

Bugfix: the 20020531 bugfix could prepend '.' to lines when
|
|
it shouldn't (but only when converting 8-bit mail to 7-bit).
|
|
Problem experienced by Ralf Hildebrandt. File:
|
|
smtp/smtp_proto.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtpd_sender_login_maps did not do the @domain etc.
|
|
wild-card lookups that were promised. Problem experienced
|
|
by Sven Michels. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20020810
|
|
|
|
Feature: new smtp-sink command-line options to specify the
|
|
SMTP hostname, to disable ESMTP protocol support, to disable
|
|
8BITMIME support, and to syslog selected commands. File:
|
|
smtpstone/smtp-sink.c.
|
|
|
|
20020814
|
|
|
|
Feature: the queue manager now warns when mail for some
|
|
destination is piling up in the active queue, and suggests
|
|
a variety of remedies. The qmgr_clog_warn_time parameter
|
|
controls the time between warnings, mainly so that I could
|
|
test the code. To disable these warnings, specify
|
|
"qmgr_clog_warn_time = 0". Files: *qmgr/qmgr_entry.c.
|
|
|
|
20020815
|
|
|
|
Paranoia: truncate the DNS response length result value in
|
|
case it is larger than the result buffer length (the resolver
|
|
documentation is vague about this). File: dns/dns_lookup.c.
|
|
|
|
20020816
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: "postqueue -f" now also triggers delivery of mail
|
|
in the maildrop directory. This is needed when the master
|
|
does not frequently wake up the pickup service. Files:
|
|
global/mail_flush.c, postqueue/postqueue.c.
|
|
|
|
20020818
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the qmgr_site_hog_factor feature is gone (defer
|
|
mail if a site uses up too much space in the active queue).
|
|
Instead, the qmgr_clog_warn_time feature provides better
|
|
solutions. File: qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
20020819
|
|
|
|
Feature: new header/body_checks HOLD pattern that causes
|
|
mail to be placed on the "hold" queue for manual inspection.
|
|
Files: global/hold_message.[hc], cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
|
|
|
|
20020820
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: yesterday's HOLD pattern code did not update the
|
|
cleanup server's idea of the queue file name for error
|
|
recovery and for error reporting purposes, so that incomplete
|
|
or content rejected mail would not be deleted from the
|
|
queue, and so that the bouncer would not find the queue
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the #ifdef that detects too old LDAP libraries was
|
|
in the wrong place. Victor Duchovni. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: new header/body_checks DISCARD pattern that causes
|
|
mail to be silently discarded. Files: global/cleanup_user.h,
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_message.c, cleanup/cleanup_api.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the local delivery agent's mailbox duplicate delivery
|
|
eliminator was not updated in the days that address extensions
|
|
were added to Postfix. The other local duplicate eliminators
|
|
probably need revision as well. File: local/mailbox.c.
|
|
|
|
20020821
|
|
|
|
Feature: HOLD and DISCARD actions in SMTPD access tables.
|
|
These requests are propagated to the cleanup daemon. Files:
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: eliminate unnecessary references to the obsolete
|
|
program_directory configuration parameter (but keep the
|
|
parameter so as to not break existing installations).

20020823
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: added a missing memset() call to wipe the lookup
|
|
key in dict_db_delete(). This is needed by some Berkeley
|
|
DB implementations. Patch by Katsu Yamamoto, Fujitsu.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: when permit_mx_backup is unable to make a decision
|
|
due to DNS problems, set the "defer if reject" flag so that
|
|
other restrictions will not cause mail to be rejected.
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: instead of giving up immediately after DNS failure,
|
|
turn on the "defer_if_permit" flag when reject_unknown_hostname,
|
|
reject_unknown_sender_domain or reject_unknown_recipient_domain
|
|
are unable to make a decision, and see if any subsequent
|
|
restrictions would still cause the mail to be rejected.
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "FILTER transport:nexthop" is now also available
|
|
in SMTPD access tables.

Bugfix: the rmail script should have been updated when

|
of input. Problem fix by Christian Kratzer, cksoft.de.
|
|
File: auxiliary/rmail/rmail.
|
|
|
|
Feature: specify "maximal_queue_lifetime = 0" for mail that

|
delivery attempt. Files: qmgr/qmgr.c, nqmgr/nqmgr.c.
|

|
|
|
20020905
|
|
|
|
Feature: "smtpd_data_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining"

|
|
|
|
Cleanup: dict_regexp module speedups by avoiding unnecessary
|
|
substring overhead while matching strings. Based on a

suggestion by Liviu Daia. This involved major rewriting of
|
|
the regexp map code. File: util/dict_regexp.c.
|
|
|
|
20020907
|
|
|

the regexp map code. File: util/dict_pcre.c.
|
|
|
|
20020917
|
|

|
|
|
|
Feature: "reject_rbl <domain>" for client address blacklisting
|
|
by LaMont Jones, including $name expansion for per-domain
|
|
customized response messages. The obsolete reject_maps_rbl
|
|
is now a wrapper that uses the new code.
|
|
|
|
20020921
|
|
|
|
Internal: added caching and factored out common code that
|
|
will be used for both reject_rbl and for the upcoming
|
|
reject_rhsbl restriction.
|
|
|
|
20020922
|
|
|
|
Feature: "reject_rhsbl <domain>" for sender domain
|
|
blacklisting. Provides the same per-domain customized
|
|
response message mechanisms with $name expansion as
|
|
reject_rbl.
|
|
|
|
Safety: the smtpd_expansion_filter parameter controls what
|
|
characters are allowed in the expansion of $name macros in
|
|
template RBL responses.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup. In order to make sensible warnings possible when
|
|
expanding a non-existent $name in RBL reply templates,
|
|
mac_expand() had to be changed so that an empty string
|
|
result (i.e. the name does exist) will no longer cause
|
|
${name?text} to succeed. File: util/mac_expand.c.
|
|
|
|
20020923
|
|
|
|
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:

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

|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
|
|
Start implementing recipient verification. For now this is
|
|
done by adding trace flags to queue files. In case of a
|
|
verification request, a delivery agent does not deliver,
|
|
deliver, it just records what would happen.
|
|
|
|
This required instrumenting the bounce/defer/sent logging
|
|
routines to send their data to the right place depending
|
|
on the type of delivery request.
|
|
|
|
20021116
|
|
|
|
New trace service. This is used for reporting if a recipient
|
|
is deliverable (sendmail -bv) and for producing a record
|
|
of delivery attempts (sendmail -v). The report is sent via
|
|
email, using the bounce daemon. Files: global/trace.[hc].
|
|
|
|
This required replacing the bounce/defer logfile format by
|
|
an extensible name=value format. Files: global/bounce_log.c,
|
|
bounce/bounce_append_service.c.
|
|
|
|
20021117
|
|
|
|
New address verification service with simple expiration
|
|
and refresh policy. Storage can be in-core or in permanent
|
|
table. The daemon is appropriately called "verify". Files:

New address_verification_negative_cache = yes/no parameter
|
|
controls whether Postfix stores the result of negatieve
|
|
address verification probes. This reduces cache pollution
|
|
but causes Postfix to send a probe for each address
|
|
verification service query. File: verify/verify.c.
|
|
|
|
Added optimistic caching to the verify daemon, so that one
|
|
failed probe will not clobber a known to be good address.
|
|
As long as some probes succeeed, a good address will stay
|
|
cached as OK.

Cleaning up of the bounce daemon's code for bounce, delayed

Changed the probe's sender address to "postmaster" so that
|
|
we get better information about the address we're testing.
|
|
File: verify/verify.c.
|
|
|

Bugfix: garbage in "user@garbage"@domain address forms may

|
|
|
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,

|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Specify "address_verify_sender=" or "address_verify_sender=<>"
|
|
to use a null sender address while doing address verification
|
|
probes. Beware, doing so may trigger false negatives
|
|
because some sites reject mail from the null sender, even
|
|
though this is required by RFC standards.

missing reject_rbl_mumble domain names. Patrik Rak. File:

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:
|

|
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.
|
|

|
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

and do transport map lookups before relocated map lookups.
|

|
Shortened the verify server's negative cache refresh time
|

from 12 hours to 2 hours. File: global/mail_params.h.
|
|
|
|
Admin friendliness: the SMTP server now reports "User
|

is specified in master.cf the service aborts.
|
|
|
|
20021214
|

|
|
|
|
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

tokens. Some people use weird addresses and expect them to

be handled without damage. File: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c.

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).

20021217
|
|

Cleanup: more work on the trivial-rewrite address rewriting

an off-by-one error when used in smtpd_data_restrictions.
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
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

Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. File: master/multi_server.c.

|
|
|
|
Cleanup: client stream endpoints not only have an idle time
|
|
limit ($ipc_idle) before a connection is closed, they now
|
|
also have a time to live ($ipc_ttl) to prevent connections
|
|
from becoming too persistent. This allows multi-servers
|
|
such as trivial-rewrite or the proxymap server to refresh
|
|
more frequently on busy systems. File: global/clnt_stream.c.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
20030105
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: redirect bounce/defer to the address verification
|
|
service where appropriate. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_bounce.c,
|
|
*qmgr/qmgr_defer.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: "no such file or directory" warnings after "postfix
|
|
reload" when a chrooted smtpd reconnects to the proxy
|
|
service. Fix: use "private/proxymap" if possible, otherwise
|
|
use "$queue_dir/private/proxymap". File: global/dict_proxy.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: daemons now chdir() to the queue directory
|
|
before running the pre-jail initialization code, so that
|
|
daemons running in stand-alone mode produce more consistent
|
|
results. Files: master/single_server.c, master/multi_server.c.
|
|
master/trigger_server.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: "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.
|
|
|
|
20030106
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: bouncing to owner-alias was broken, i.e. the mail
|
|
kept being deferred, and when that was fixed, another buglet
|
|
came to light. File: bounce/bounce.c.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
20030109
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: unnecessary "premature end of file on xxx while
|
|
reading yyy" warnings became exposed after some code
|
|
simplification. Files" global/*_clnt.c, global/dict_proxy.c
|
|
|
|
Robustness: undo the change that causes a multi-server
|
|
process to stop accepting new connections while it still
|
|
services existing clients for an extended amount of time.
|
|
We need a better process retirement strategy. File:
|
|
master/multi_server.c.
|
|
|
|
20030110
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the virtual_mailbox_maps parameter is now optional
|
|
even when virtual_mailbox_domains is. 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.
|
|
|
|
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: queue structures no longer overload queue name
|
|
and nexthop destination. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c,
|
|
*qmgr/qmgr_queue.c, *qmgr/qmgr_deliver.c.
|
|
|
|
20030125
|
|
|
|
Feature: "REDIRECT user@domain" action in access maps or
|
|
in header/body_checks causes mail to be sent to the specified
|
|
address instead of the intended recipient(s). I would never
|
|
recommend that people use this to redirect (bounced) SPAM
|
|
to the beneficiaries of an advertisement campaign. Files:

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.

|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: added postmap/postalias -p option (do not inherit
|
|
the source file permissions when creating a new file), for
|
|
completeness. A feature that can't be turned off is a bug.
|
|
Files: postmap/postmap.c, postalias/postalias.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtpd_hard/soft_error_limit off-by-one error, so
|
|
that the real limit was one larger than the configured
|
|
value. File: smtpd/smtpd.c, smtpd/smtpd_chat.c.

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.
|
|
|
|
Portability: updated AIX 5.x system dependent definitions.
|
|
File: util/sys_defs.h.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: daemons now log what table has changed before
|
|
restarting. Files: dict.c, and anything that invoked
|
|
dict_changed().
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: more consistency in the naming of lookup table
|
|
handles as generated by maps(3) and by match_list(3).
|
|
|
|
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, FILTER and
|
|
REDIRECT were broken with smtpd_delay_reject=no and with
|
|
ETRN. 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.
|
|
|
|
20030319
|
|
|
|
Feature: configurable limit on virtual alias expansion size
|
|
and nesting depth, via the virtual_alias_expansion_limit
|
|
and virtual_alias_recursion_limit parameters. The default
|

Feature: the installation procedure records build information
|
|
(by default: in /etc/postfix/makedefs.out).
|
|
|
|
20030324
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: smtp-source flushed too often, causing suboptimal
|

performance with smtp-source sending directly into smtp-sink.
|
|
Files: smtpstone/smtp-source.c.
|
|
|
|
20030410

|
|
|
|
20030412
|

|
Files: README_FILES/PGSQL_README, util/dict_pgsql.c,
|
|
util/dict_pgsql.h, conf/sample-pgsql-aliases.cf.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the generic smtp client/server code in smtp_stream.c
|
|
now has an explicit flush operation, and the smtp-source/sink
|
|
programs are updated to take advantage of this.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the file system clock drift detection code now
|
|
runs only once per process instance, to minimize the
|
|
performance impact. File: global/mail_stream.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: avoid TIME_WAIT state with smtp/qmqp-source
|
|
client sockets. This puts less strain on local system
|
|
resources.
|
|
|
|
20030415
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the file system clock drift detection code now
|
|
runs only for incoming mail. 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.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: auto-bcc recipients are now added in one place
|
|
(the cleanup server) instead of by individual front-end
|
|
servers (pickup, smtpd, qmqpd). This makes it easier to
|
|
add auto-bcc features that trigger on sender or recipient
|
|
addresses.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: "sendmail -t" (recipients from headers) is now
|
|
implemented by the sendmail command instead of by the
|
|
cleanup server. This means that the extract_recipient_limit
|
|
configuration parameter is no longer needed. Files:
|
|
sendmail/sendmail.c, cleanup/cleanup_message.c,
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: "sendmail -t" (recipients from headers) now
|
|
accepts command-line recipients instead of complaining.
|
|
The extracted header recipients are added to the command-line
|
|
recipients.
|
|
|
|
Feature: sender/recipient_bcc_maps. These are indexed by
|
|
sender/recipient address and are examined when mail enters
|
|
from outside of Postfix. Files: cleanup/cleanup_addr.c.
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c.
|
|
|
|
20030417
|
|
|
|
Feature: the SMTP client now falls back to native name
|
|
service lookups (including /etc/hosts) when a host cannot
|
|
be found in the DNS. This is controlled by a new parameter
|
|
smtp_host_lookup (default: dns, native). Files: smtp/smtp.c,
|
|
smtp/smtp_addr.c.
|
|
|
|
20030418
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: "sendmail -t" broke with unrecognized message
|
|
headers.
|
|
|
|
20030419
|
|
|
|
Feature: "postcat -q" searches the queue for the named
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: made postcat "record names" output more consistent.
|
|
|
|
20030421
|
|
|
|
Debugging: added some extra detailed error logging to the
|
|
pipe-to-command delivery, to help folks with bizarre file
|
|
truncation problems. File: global/pipe_command.c.
|
|
|
|
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: lost three lines of code when readying the postcat
|
|
command for release, which broke postcat -q. File:
|
|
postcat/postcat.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the Postfix sendmail command applied the message
|

|
|
Cleanup: rewrote the queue file record processing loops in
|
|
pickup, cleanup and in [n]qmgr. This code had deteriorated
|
|
a lot as the result of small changes over the years. This
|
|
change brings the code closer to "obviously correct". Files:
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c, cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c,
|
|
*qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: Postfix no longer produces queue files with
|
|
backwards compatibility data for Postfix versions < 1.0
|
|
(a.k.a. 20010228). Files: cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c,
|
|
showq/showq.c.
|
|
|
|
Performance: the queue manager no longer has to examine
|
|
every queue file record before it can start deliveries.
|
|
This helps to avoid thrashing with very large mailing lists.
|
|
Postfix queue files have an extra field in the size record
|
|
with queue manager processing hints. This change is backward
|
|
and forward compatible. Files: cleanup/cleanup_envelope.c,
|
|
cleanup/cleanup_extracted.c, *qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
20030528

|
|
|
Cleanup: input checks moved from the pickup daemon to the
|
|
postdrop mail submission command; this is to prepare for

direct mail submission from postdrop->cleanup without going
|
|
through the maildrop directory and the pickup service.

Cleanup: the verify server now uses asynchronous submission
|
|
of mail probes, so it will no longer block for in_flow_delay
|
|
seconds when mail arrives faster than it is delivered.
|
|
Still need to make mail_stream_finish() asynchronous in

Portability: Dropped support for client side LDAP caching.
|
|
As of release 2.1.13 OpenLDAP no longer supports client
|
|
side caching, it has been deprecated for some time, and
|
|
never worked well. Implemented by Victor Duchovni, Morgan
|
|
Stanley, and further enhanced by Lamont Jones, HP. Files:
|
|
src/util/dict_ldap.c, conf/sample-ldap.cf,
|
|
README_FILES/LDAP_README.
|
|
|
|
Safety: Given suitable invalid database contents, LDAP
|
|
lookups can produce too many results, enter an infinite
|
|
loop in the expansion of "special result attributes" (LDAP
|
|
DNs and LDAP URLs) or just consume excessive server resources
|
|
returning large result sets. Three new (per LDAP map)
|
|
configuration parameters enable one to set limits on
|
|
recursive nesting, result expansion and the server response
|
|
"entry" count. Implemented by Victor Duchovni, Morgan
|
|
Stanley, further enanced by Lamont Jones, HP. Files:

After "postfix reload", the master daemon now warns when

|
|
|
|
Feature: the Postfix SMTP server can send all mail into a
|
|
proxy server, for example a real-time SPAM filter. This
|
|
proxy is supposed to send the mail into another Postfix
|
|
SMTP server process for normal delivery. Files: smtpd/smtpd.c
|
|
smtpd/smtpd_proxy.[hc].
|
|
|
|
20030620
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: a cut-and-paste error caused the proxy server's

354 status code to be reported when a proxy connection
|
|
broke during the DATA phase. File: smtpd.c.
|
|
|

|
Bugfix: after moving "sendmail -t" address extraction to

flag when the verify service was unavailable (which never
|
|
happens). Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. File:
|

New parameters address_verify_poll_{count,delay} that
|
|
control how often to poll the address verification service
|
|
for the completion of an address verification request.
|
|
Specify address_verify_poll_count=1 to implement a crude
|
|
form of greylisting, that is, always defer the first delivery
|
|
attempt for an unknown address. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|

20030705
|
|
|
|
Feature: new receive_override_options parameter controls
|
|
what happens before or after an external content filter:
|
|
rejecting unknown recipients, canonical and virtual address
|

The 20030905 Solaris workaround triggers too many warnings.

|
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.

Dean Gibson.

|
In header/body_checks, DUNNO is now the preferred action

Bugfix: mail rejected by the before-queue content filter
|
|
was mis-labeled as a software error; it should be labeled
|
|
as a policy error instead. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|

Cleanup: postcat is now null-byte transparent. File:
|
|
postcat/postcat.c.
|
|
|
|
20030916
|
|
|
|
Feature: ``check_{sender,recipient}_mx_access maptype:mapname''
|
|
applies the named Postfix access table to the MX host name
|
|
and IP addresses for the sender or recipient address. If
|
|
no MX record is found, the A record is used instead. File:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: ``check_{sender,recipient}_ns_access maptype:mapname''
|
|
applies the named Postfix access table to the DNS server
|
|
hostname and IP addresses for the sender or recipient
|
|
address. If no NS record is found, the parent domain is
|
|
used instead. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20030917
|
|
|
|
Feature: ``check_helo_{ns,mx}_access maptype:mapname'',

Multiple LDAP lookup tables in the one Postfix process now
|
|
share one LDAP connection. Code by Victor Duchovni, Morgan
|
|
Stanley. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
|
|
|
|
Performance: with prefix_domain specified for an LDAP lookup
|
|
table, lookups of @domain are skipped. Code by Victor
|
|
Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. File: util/dict_ldap.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: check_mumble_{mx,ns}_access refuses to be used for
|
|
whitelisting. The Postfix SMTP server will reject the
|
|
request with "451 server configuration error" and will log
|
|
a warning explaining why. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20030918
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: check_mumble_ns_access did not correctly look up
|
|
NS records of parent domains, causing mail to be deferred
|
|
with a 450 status code. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20030919
|
|
|
|
Robustness: check_mumble_{mx,ns}_access skip over DNS lookup
|
|
failures instead of deferring mail. This is not as bad as
|
|
it appears to be because the restrictions can't be used
|
|
for whitelisting. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.

|
|
Bugfix: the 20030917 LDAP connection sharing code introduced
|
|
a compilation problem with non-OpenLDAP implementations.
|
|
Fix by Liviu Daia. File: util/dict_ldap.c
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the LDAP server_host parameter now supports
|
|
all the usual Postfix list element delimiters. Some LDAP
|
|
libraries support just SPACE, others SPACE and ",". Postfix
|
|
now normalizes the host list into a space separated format.
|
|
This is less surprising to Postfix users used to the full
|
|
range of delimeters in other contexts. Implemented by Liviu
|
|
Daia. File: util/dict_ldap.c
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: after returning too old mail, the bounce daemon
|
|
now locks the original queue file and deletes deferred
|
|
recipients, to avoid repeated bounce notifications when
|
|
the queue manager is restarted. Files: bounce/*.[hc],
|
|
global/bounce_log.[hc], global/{bounce,defer}.[hc] and
|
|
everything that invokes these routines including queue
|
|
manager and delivery agents.

20030922
|
|
|
|
Feature: "XADDR address hostname" SMTP command, for SMTPD
|
|
restriction debugging, and for sites with fetchmail-like
|
|
software that extracts client information from the first
|
|
Received: header. The smtpd_authorized_xaddr_clients
|
|
parameter specifies what clients are allowed to use XADDR
|
|
(default: none). Files: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
20031015
|
|
|
|
Workaround: smtpd access maps should not apply subdomain
|
|
name magic to numerical hostnames. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: the local delivery agent now defers delivery when
|
|
alias lookup produces an empty result. File: local/alias.c.
|
|
|
|
20031019
|
|
|
|
Workaround: disable request/reply size limit in attr_scan*.c
|
|
to prevent mail from getting stuck when rewriting a malformed
|
|
message header. This limit was turned on with snapshot
|
|
20030715 to harden the protocol that is used by SMTPD policy
|
|
delegation. A "no code change" workaround is to specify
|
|
"header_size_limit = $line_length_limit". The proper fix
|
|
is to enforce request/reply size limits only for data from
|
|
outside of Postfix. Problem reported by Brandon Mullenberg,
|
|
Dialup USA. Files: util/attr_scan*.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "XLOGINFO address hostname" SMTP command, so that
|
|
Postfix daemons behind SMTPD pass-through proxies log useful
|
|
client name/address information instead of localhost[127.0.0.1].

The smtpd_authorized_xloginfo_clients parameter specifies
|
|
what clients are allowed to use XLOGINFO (default: none).
|
|
Files: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: renamed the authorized_verp_clients parameter to
|
|
smtpd_authorized_verp_clients for consistency.
|

|
20031021
|
|
|
|
Workaround: the demo greylist script now uses BTREE instead
|
|
of HASH files for hopefully better stability. The real fix
|
|
is to use a single updater process that serves multiple
|
|
clients. That approach seems to work well with the verify
|
|
daemon. File: examples/smtpd-policy/smtpd-policy.pl.
|
|
|
|
20031022
|
|
|
|
Safety: the SMTP server now warns when the queue_minfree
|
|
value is less than twice the message size limit. File:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: the SMTP server no longer accepts mail when the
|
|
amount of free space is less than twice the message size
|
|
limit. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: log a warning and defer mail when canonical or
|
|
virtual lookups return a non-address result (like a string
|
|
that contains no address). File: global/mail_addr_map.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: log a warning and defer mail when any map lookup
|
|
returns an empty string result, and explain that "no result"
|
|
is expected in case of a "not found" condition. This happens
|
|
with incorrectly implemented SQL or LDAP tables. File:
|
|
global/maps_find.c.
|
|
|
|
20031023
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the MYSQL and PGSQL modules invoked dict_register().
|
|
This was fixed a while ago but never made it into the
|
|
distribution. Files: util/dict*sql.c.
|
|
|
|
Robustness: added three ISSPACE() calls in the smtpd proxy
|
|
parser. File: smtpd/smtpd_proxy.c.
|
|
|
|
20031024
|
|
|
|
Portability: added localhost to mydestination for sites that
|
|
turn off append_dot_mydomain. File: global/mail_params.h.
|
|
|
|
20031027
|
|
|
|
Portability: MacOS X Bind8 compatibility. File: makedefs.
|
|
|
|
20031103
|
|
|
|
Robustness: flush pipelined "." and "quit" replies to avoid
|
|
repeated deliveries in case of a program crash (you know,
|
|
the kind of thing that happens before Postfix release :-).
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
20031105
|
|
|
|
Portability: turn off NETINFO support for MacOS X Panther
|
|
by default. Files: makedefs, util/sys_defs.h.
|
|
|
|
20031106
|
|
|
|
Feature: the sample greylist policy server is now case
|
|
insensitive. File: examples/smtpd-policy/smtpd-policy.pl.
|
|
|
|
20031103-20031110
|
|
|
|
Feature: preliminary defense against SMTP clients that
|
|
hammer the SMTP server with too many simultaneous or
|
|
successive connection attempts, with a whitelist capability
|
|
to disable the restriction for authorized clients. Most
|
|
work is implemented by a new "anvil" server. Parameters:
|
|
smtpd_client_connection_count_limit, smtpd_client_connection-
|
|
_rate_limit, smtpd_client_connection_limit_exceptions, and
|
|
client_connection_rate_time_unit. Documentation: smtpd(8),
|
|
anvil(8), sample-smtpd.cf. Files: smtpd/smtpd.c,
|
|
global/anvil_clnt.[hc], anvil/anvil.c. The anvil server
|
|
logs peak count and rate information per client when it
|
|
terminates after running out of work or after "postfix
|
|
reload".
|
|
|
|
20031110
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: Postfix now supports the /0 netmask (match every
|
|
address). This is useful as a catch-all pattern at the
|
|
end of a table. Files: util/dict_cidr.c, util/match_ops.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: don't report that $queue_directory/etc/filename
|
|
differs from /etc/filename when /etc/filename does not
|
|
exist. File: conf/postfix-script.
|
|
|
|
20031112
|
|
|
|
Feature: client_connection_status_update_time parameter
|
|
controls periodic logging of maximal connection counts or
|
|
rates. The default logging interval is 10 minutes.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "make makefiles WARN=stuff..." overrides the
|
|
built-in GCC warning options that are used when "make" is
|
|
invoked from within a source subdirectory. Files: makedefs,
|
|
*/Makefile.in.
|
|
|
|
20031125
|
|
|
|
Feature: qmgr logs "queueid: deleted", just like postsuper,
|
|
when it removes a message from the mail queue.
|
|
|
|
Performance: smtpd connects to the cleanup or proxy server
|
|
AFTER the first valid RCPT TO command, instead of after
|
|
the first valid MAIL FROM command. This avoid wasting
|
|
real-time proxy filter resources when mail is stopped by
|
|
the SMTP server's access blocks. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
20031125-20031201
|
|
|
|
Feature: XCLIENT support to override the SMTP server's
|
|
client information for logging and/or access control. This
|
|
replaces the short-lived XADDR and XLOGINFO extensions.
|
|
Remotely based on code by Victor Duchovni. See FILTER_README
|
|
and SMTPD_PROXY_README for usage details. Files:
|
|
smtpd/{smtpd,smtpd_check,smtpd_proxy,smtpd_xclient}.c
|
|
smtp/smtp_smtp_proto.c, *qmgr/qmgr_message.c,
|
|
global/deliver_request.c.
|
|
|
|
20031202
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: postfix-files now has support for files that are
|
|
no longer part of Postfix. When upgrading Postfix, the
|
|
post-install script gives the user a reminder. Files:
|
|
conf/postfix-files, conf/post-install.
|
|
|
|
20031203
|
|
|
|
Support for SMTPD access map actions (FILTER, REDIRECT,
|
|
HOLD or DISCARD) that are delegated to the cleanup server,
|
|
but can trigger before the first valid recipient address
|
|
is accepted (and thus, before a cleanup server connection
|
|
is available). Files: smtpd/{smtpd,smtpd_state,smtpd_check}.c.
|
|
|
|
20031204
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: conf/post-install didn't skip non-existent obsolete
|
|
files. Victor Duchovni.
|
|
|
|
Minor cleanups of the xclient error messages; xclient
|
|
command lookup tables. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.

|
|
|
|
Feature: reject_sender_login_mismatch allows multiple owners
|
|
of a sender address. Code by Liviu Daia. Files:
|
|
smtpd/smtpd_check.c and documentation.
|
|
|
|
reject_sender_login_mismatch is now implemented by elementary
|
|
features reject_unauthenticated_sender_login_mismatch
|
|
(reject if the client is not SASL logged in but the sender
|
|
address has an owner in smtpd_sender_login_maps) and
|
|
reject_authenticated_sender_login_mismatch (reject if the
|
|
client is SASL logged in but does not own the sender
|
|
address). Code by Liviu Daia. Files: smtpd/smtpd_check.c
|
|
and documentation.
|
|
|
|
20031207
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: fallback_transport and mailbox_transport were broken
|
|
because the deliver_pass.c module was not updated for the
|
|
changed message delivery protocol.
|
|
|
|
20031211
|
|
|
|
Safety: in dynamically growing data structures, update the
|
|
length info after (instead of before) updating the data
|
|
size. Files: util/argv.c, util/inet_addrlist.c, util/intv.c,
|
|
util/mvect.c, util/vstring.c, global/recipient_list.c,
|
|
*qmgr/qmgr_rcpt_list.c.
|
|
|
|
20031212
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: separate extensions XCLIENT (impersonate SMTP
|
|
client) and XFORWARD (down-stream logging of up-stream MTA
|
|
and/or message information, not necessarily SMTP related).
|
|
The protocol is extensible: the server advertises what
|
|
attributes XCLIENT or XFORWARD will accept, and it is an
|
|
error to send an unsupported attribute. No xtext encoding
|
|
is used, since no attribute currently needs it. See also:
|
|
XCLIENT_README and XFORWARD_README.
|
|
|
|
20031214
|
|
|
|
Feature: XFORWARD support in the LMTP client.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
20031216
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: easier to parse mailq output (no more space
|
|
between short queue ID and message status). File:
|
|
showq/showq.c.
|
|
|
|
20031216-21
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the SMTP client now moves on to the next MX host
|
|
or fallback relay when delivery fails in the middle of an
|
|
SMTP session. This includes both broken connections and
|
|
4xx SMTP server replies. Files: smtp/smtp.c, smtp_rcpt.c,
|
|
smtp/smtp_connect.c, smtp_trouble.c.
|
|
|
|
Configuration parameters: smtp_mx_address_limit (limit the
|
|
list of IP addresses from MX lookup), and smtp_mx_session_limit
|
|
(limit the number of actual SMTP sessions per delivery
|
|
attempt, ignoring unusable MX IP addresses).
|
|
|
|
The new code centers around a mark-and-sweep algorithm
|
|
(replacing code that twiddled the rcpt->offset structure
|
|
member), with paranoid sanity checks to ensure that every
|
|
recipient is explicitly accounted for.
|
|
|
|
20031217
|
|
|
|
Update: LDAP client logging (Liviu Daia) and LDAP client
|
|
documentation (Victor Duchovni). Files: util/dict_ldap.c,
|
|
conf/sample-ldap.cf, README_FILES/LDAP_README.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Safety: added "mail loops to myself" logic for destinations
|
|
that don't have an MX host. File: smtp/smtp_addr.c.
|
|
|
|
20031223
|
|
|
|
Workaround: turn off "mail loops to myself" for non-MX
|
|
destinations because it breaks SMTP-based content filters.
|
|
Fix is to turn off loop detection when a non-default TCP
|
|
port is specified. File: smtp/smtp_addr.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: restore errno after write failure in SIGCHLD handler.
|
|
Leandro Santi (who got the idea from Hernan Perez Masci).
|
|
File: master/master_sig.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the auto_clnt module disconnected too early, causing
|
|
unnecessary work by the anvil server.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: eliminated binary hashes from anvil server. Anvil
|
|
client information is now stored on top of its VSTREAM.
|
|
|
|
20031226
|
|
|
|
Feature: bounce_queue_lifetime parameter (default:
|
|
$maximal_queue_life_time) that bounds the time that
|
|
MAILER-DAEMON messages spend in the queue before they are
|
|
considered undeliverable.
|
|
|
|
Feature: disable "mail loops back to myself" protection
|
|
when SMTP mail is sent to a non-standard port. This makes
|
|
setting up content filters less painful.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: disallow bare x.x.x.x numeric IP addresses in
|
|
email addresses. The form user@[x.x.x.x] is still allowed.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: cleaned up the naming of internal symbols in the
|
|
SMTP client.
|
|
|
|
20031231
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: stricter address syntax test broke "sendmail -bs".
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
20040101
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the Postfix SMTP server rejects a MAIL FROM address
|
|
that matches a local, virtual or relay domain, while the
|
|
address is not listed in the corresponding local, virtual
|
|
or relay recipient table.
|
|
|
|
Feature: the reject_unlisted_sender(recipient) SMTPD access
|
|
restriction rejects an address that matches a local, virtual
|
|
or relay domain, while the address is not listed in the
|
|
corresponding local, virtual or relay recipient table.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility: the check_recipient_maps restriction works
|
|
like reject_unlisted_recipient, but will eventually be
|
|
removed from Postfix.

|
Misc documentation cleanup by Loic Minier.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Feature: after mail is requeued with "postsuper -r", the
|
|
pickup server logs the old queue ID together with the new
|
|
queue ID. Victor Duchovni. File: pickup/pickup.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: smtpd_sasl_application_name parameter (default:
|
|
smtpd) to control the name of the SASL configuration file
|
|
used by the Postfix SMTP server. Liviu Daia. Files:
|
|
mail_params.h, smtpd.c, smtpd_sasl_glue.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the LDAP client configuration parser is now shared
|
|
between the LDAP, MySQL, and PGSQL clients. Liviu Daia.
|
|
Files: global/cfgparser.[hc], global/dict_ldap.c,
|
|
global/dict_mysql.c, global/dict_pgsql.c and documentation.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: moved "util" modules with dependencies on higher-level
|
|
"global" code from the util directory to the global directory:
|
|
util/dict_open.c, global/cfgparser.[hc], global/dict_ldap.c,
|
|
global/dict_mysql.c, global/dict_pgsql.c, global/mail_dict.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the new queue manager nqmgr replaces the default
|
|
queue manager qmgr, leaving behind a hard link for backwards
|
|
compatibility. The old queue manager remains available as
|
|
as oqmgr but will eventually be removed.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
20040105
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: don't bother the flush daemon while deferring mail
|
|
if the destination is not "fast flush" eligible. File:
|
|
global/flush_clnt.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: the SMTP server flushes recipients to the cleanup
|
|
server in order to avoid SMTP timeouts when virtual or
|
|
canonical expansions take a lot of time. File smtpd/smtpd.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: add warnings to postmap and postalias when table
|
|
lookup results in an empty string.
|
|
|
|
20040110
|
|
|
|
Example: script to run qmail-local from Postfix by Ron
|
|
Bickers.
|
|
|
|
Change: queue minfree limit is now 1.5 * message size limit.
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: apply hostname restriction even when host address
|
|
lookup fails in check_{sender,recipient}_{ns,mx}_access.
|
|
File: smtpd/smtpd_check.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.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: in postfix-files, symbolic links and hard links
|
|
are now first-class citizens with explicit mention of
|
|
source and destination pathnames. Files: postfix-install,
|
|
conf/postfix-files, conf/post-install.
|
|
|
|
20040116
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: sendmail -v caused one mail delivery report upon
|
|
every delivery attempt, not just the first one. The fix is
|
|
to "kill" a queue file record after the first delivery
|
|
attempt. This means a new record type. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_active.c,
|
|
*qmgr/qmgr_message.c, global/rec_type.c.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: in anticipation of other built-in rate limiters,
|
|
the client_connection_rate_time_unit parameter is renamed
|
|
to client_rate_time_unit.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: finished the HOSTING_README file with an
|
|
overview of methods to host domains with Postfix.
|
|
|
|
20040119
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: anvil (count and rate limiting) server race condition
|
|
could result in dangling pointer. Postfix erases memory
|
|
after allocating and before freeing, so it is extremely
|
|
unlikely that this could be used to bring harmful data into
|
|
the anvil server. File anvil/anvil.c.
|
|
|
|
20040120
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: new header_checks(5) and body_checks(5) manual
|
|
pages. The sample-regexp* and sample-pcre* files are no
|
|
longer needed and have been removed, as are the default
|
|
*_table configuration files.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: support for the non-standard Errors-To: header
|
|
is removed. File: cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
|
|
|
|
20040121
|
|
|
|
Feature: "PREPEND headername: headervalue" action in Postfix
|
|
access maps, to facilitate external policy servers that
|
|
label mail instead of rejecting it. Files: smtpd/smtpd.c,
|
|
smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20040122
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Misc. documentation fixes by Victor Duchovni.
|
|
|
|
Documentation: the README files are now hyperlinked, and
|
|
are referenced in the on-line manual pages.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
20040123
|
|
|
|
Feature: set smtpd_reject_unlisted_{sender,recipient}=no to
|
|
turn off automatic rejection of non-existent local, virtual
|
|
or relay addresses. This way it can be made conditional
|
|
for local clients, always on for remote clients. Files:
|
|
global/mail_params.h, smtpd/smtpd.c, smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20040124
|
|
|
|
Feature: PREPEND in header/body_checks, for message tagging.
|
|
File: cleanup/cleanup_message.c.
|
|
|
|
20040126
|
|
|
|
Safety: handle the case that main.cf is updated while it is
|
|
being read. File: util/dict.c.
|
|
|
|
Feature: "instance" attribute that links policy etc. queries
|
|
to the same message instance.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: the mynetworks setting may now be empty. File:
|
|
global/mail_params.c.
|
|
|
|
20040127
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: missing flush_init() call. Introduced 20040105.
|
|
File: postqueue/postqueue.c.
|
|
|
|
20040128
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: clnt_stream derived classes now try to detect that
|
|
the server has disconnected before sending data and warning
|
|
about an error. File: global/clnt_stream.c.
|
|
|
|
20040202
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: changed mis-leading warning about text>4096 characters
|
|
into "unexpected end-of-input". File: util/attr_scan0.c.
|
|
|
|
20040201
|
|
|
|
Feature: sasl_method, sasl_username and sasl_sender attributes
|
|
in smtpd policy queries. Files: src/smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
|
|
|
|
20040204
|
|
|
|
Safety: smtpd_soft_error_limit now determines when
|
|
$smtpd_error_sleep_time starts to take effect.
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: local(8) and virtual(8) will now create maildirs
|
|
in a world-writable directory. Files: util/make_dirs.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: don't panic on a corrupt queue file. File:
|
|
*qmgr/qmgr_message.c.
|
|
|
|
20040205
|
|
|
|
Cleanup: sample-filter.cf is gone. Better documentation is
|
|
available with "man header_checks".
|
|
|
|
20040209
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: when delivery to smtpd_proxy_filter fails, report

Cleanup: smtp_skip_4xx_greeting and smtp_skip_5xx_greeting
|
|
functionality is moved from connection management to SMTP
|
|
protocol processing, so that Postfix now logs the server
|
|
response when a server refuses to provide service. Files:

Cleanup: smtp_skip_4xx_greeting is no longer configurable;
|
|
it is now permanently turned on.

|
|
|
20040326
|
|
|
|
Workaround: in the trivial-rewrite server, turn on the code
|
|
to strip trailing "." while rewriting addresses, and change
|
|
the address resolver to strip trailing "." in a compatible
|
|
manner. This does not eliminate the problem that the SMTP
|
|
server may use a different address for recipient validation
|
|
than what the cleanup server uses for virtual alias mapping.

Workaround: allow pipelined SMTP clients to overshoot the
|
|
SMTP server recipient limit without triggering the server
|
|
hard error limit. The SMTP server does not count "too many
|
|
recipients" towards the hard error limit, as long as the
|
|
number of excess recipients stays within a configurable
|
|
overshoot limit (default: smtpd_recipient_overshoot_limit
|
|
= 1000). Solution in cooperation with Victor Duchovni.

Bugfix: the SMTP client did not reset per-session EHLO,

Bugfix: one missed variadic argument list fix. Victor
|
|
Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. File: global/verify.c.
|
|
|
|
Bugfix: the resolver client cache should be context dependent
|
|
because address verification probes may use a different
|
|
route than normal mail deliveries. File: global/resolve_clnt.c.
|
|
|
|
Safety: added similar context dependence to the address
|
|
rewriting client in order to avoid trouble when Postfix is
|
|
changed. File: global/rewrite_clnt.c.
|
|
|

Bugfix: space in HELO commands could end up in XFORWARD

commands. File: smtpd/smtpd.c.

|
|
|
|
Bugfix: more missing resets in the SMTP client when it
|
|
switches to an alternate SMTP server. In this case the
|
|
error_mask that controls whether an SMTP session transcript
|
|
is mailed to the postmaster, and the size_limit that controls
|
|
how large a message Postfix will send. Found during code
|
|
maintenance. File: smtp/smtp_connect.c.
|
|
|
|
20040622
|
|
|
|
Safety: when mail is delivered to a transport with per-delivery
|
|
recipient limit of 1, split the recipient address on the
|
|
recipient delimiter if one is defined, so that extended
|
|
addresses don't get extra delivery concurrency slots.
