Postfix official release 19991231 patchlevel 11 is available.
This release folds in code changes from recent snapshot releases.
These changes track changes in RedHat Linux, fix two minor bugs in
the Postfix queue manager scheduling behavior that were spotted by
Patrik Rak, and turn off one misfeature.
- On RedHat Linux 7.0, you must install the db3-devel RPM before
you can compile the Postfix source code.
- The queue manager could schedule too many connections to the same
destination (domain name spelled in upper and lower case).
- The queue manager could schedule too few connections to the same
destination (back off even in case of successful delivery).
- The confusing site_hog_factor feature is disabled by default. It
caused unnecessary mail delivery delays on inbound mail gateways.
This introduces a new 'pop3' flavour, since the package bundles a POP3
server that can read from maildirs and use the same authmodules also.
And a number of stability fixes, including leaking file descriptions,
maildir handling, and also compliance with the latest IETF IMAP drafts.
Quote from the RELEASE_NOTES file:
Incompatible changes with snapshot-20001121
===========================================
If this release does not work for you, you can go back to a previous
Postfix version without losing your mail, subject to the "incompatible
changes" listed for previous Postfix releases below.
Major changes with snapshot-20001121
====================================
Support for RedHat Linux 7.0. On RedHat Linux 7.0, you must install
the db3-devel RPM before you can compile the Postfix source code.
The mailbox_transport feature works again. It was broken when the
"require_home_directory" feature was added.
More general virtual domain support. Postfix now supports both
Sendmail-style virtual domains and Postfix-style virtual domains.
Details and examples are given in the revised virtual manual page.
- With Sendmail-style virtual domains, local users/aliases/mailing
lists are visible as localname@virtual.domain. This is convenient
if you want to host mailing lists under virtual domains.
- With Postfix-style virtual domains, local users/aliases/mailing
lists are not visible as localname@virtual.domain. Each virtual
domain has its own separate name space.
More general "soft bounce" feature. Specify "soft_bounce = yes"
in main.cf to prevent the SMTP server from bouncing mail while you
are testing configurations. Until this release the SMTP server was
not aware of soft bounces.
*** Tuesday, November 21, 2000 -- Dante v1.1.6
o fix a bug related to hostnamelength parsing in server.
Thanks to "Thomas Jarosch" <thomas.jarosch@styletec.de>.

Besides the new dissectors (WAP, SIP, AIM/OSCAR, GIOP 1.2, 802.11)
and updates to many many dissectors, an exploit for a buffer overrun
in the AFS dissector has been patched. Please upgrade to 0.8.14 as soon
as possible to guard against this exploit, which was announced
this weekend in BugTraq.
- works around Bash bug
- dnscache-conf now wants dnsroots from /etc, instead of /usr/local/etc.
sigh.
Work around this by instructing user to copy dnsroots.global from
PREFIX/share/dnscache to /etc in pkg/MESSAGE.
