The mailbox file size limits for the local and virtual delivery
agents can be disabled by setting mailbox_size_limit and/or
virtual_mailbox_limit to zero.
Incompatible changes with snapshot-20010128
===========================================
REJECT in header/body_checks is now flagged as policy violation
rather than bounce, for consistency in postmaster notifications.
The mailbox size limit for local delivery is no longer controlled
by the message_size_limit paramater, but by a separate parameter
called mailbox_size_limit (default: 20MBytes).
The default RBL (real-time blackhole lists) domain examples have
been updated from *.vix.com to *.mail-abuse.org.
Major changes with snapshot-20010128
====================================
Updated nqmgr (experimental queue manager with clever queueing
strategy) by Patrik Rak. This code is still new. Once it stops
changing (for a long time!) it will become part of the non-beta
release.
Virtual mailbox delivery agent by Andrew McNamara. This delivery
agent can deliver mail for any number of domains. See the file
VIRTUAL_README for detailed examples. This code is still new. Once
it stops changing it will become part of the non-beta release.
Many "valid_hostname" warnings were eliminated. The complaints that
were not eliminated were replaced by something more informative.
SASL support (RFC 2554) for the LMTP delivery agent. This is required
by recent Cyrus implementations when delivering mail over TCP
sockets. The LMTP_README file has been updated but still contains
some obsolete information.
Workarounds for non-standard RFC 2554 (AUTH command) implementations.
Specify "broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes" to enable SMTP server
support for old Microsoft client applications. The Postfix SMTP
client supports non-standard RFC 2554 servers by default.
- bump NEED_VERSION
This is a bugfix release:
o Fix big5/gb2312 conversion logic.
o Fix authldap connection failure recovery
o Update INSTALL to reflect new upgrade instructions.
Summary
-------
This patch fixes a problem in the Postfix SMTP client's fallback
relay feature in snapshot releases after 20001005.
By default, Postfix does not use the fallback_relay feature. To
find out if your system uses it, issue the command:
postconf fallback_relay
The result is "fallback_relay =" when the feature is turned off.
Description
-----------
As of 20001005, the Postfix SMTP client will send mail to a fallback
relay host (if one is configured) even when the local machine is
a backup MX host for the final destination.
This causes a loop when the primary MX host is down. Postfix receives
the mail, because it's a backup MX host for the destination. Postfix
then sends the mail to the fallback relay, because the primary MX
host is down. The fallback sends the mail back to Postfix, because
it's a backup MX host. Mail then bounces after 25 or so iterations.
Laurent Wacrenier had the, um, pleasure, of finding this one.
Solution
--------
If the local machine is listed as MX host for the final destination,
do not send undeliverable mail to the fallback relay. That is how
releases prior to 20001005 work, including 19991231.
This patch should apply to all snapshots since 20001005, but I have
tested this only with 20001217.
To apply, step into the src/smtp source directory, feed this text
into the patch command, and rebuild. The "make install" command
replaces only the smtp client program.

This module allows direct manipulation of various types of e-mail
alias files.
The primary use of Mail::Alias is for manipulating alias files in
the SENDMAIL alias file format. Additionally it is possible to read
some other formats and to convert between various alias file formats.
The following actions are available:
o Set the name of the current aliases file being accessed
o Verify the presence of aliases
o Retrieve an alias line from the file
o Add aliases
o Change the addresses for aliases
o Delete aliases
- add a patch to correct some man page typos (fed back to author)
Note that Mail::Alias is no longer part of this package, and is now a
separate CPAN module.
by the -p option if it fails to bind to the port, otherwise it will always
print port 110 instead of the real port number.
Based on a patch from: Ian Darwin <ian@darwinsys.com>
- regenerate patches and name them consistently. Note that the
configuration file format and names have changed with this release
- add an INSTALL shell fragment to detect old versions of the config
files and warn the user to regenerate them
- config files now live in /etc/courier-imap, as they are very
generic names, and this avoid conflict with other imap daemons
Summary of changes:
This release fixes some bugs in the POP3 server, adds optional
support for gb2312 and big5 text search, and introduces a new
configuration file format.
The new configuration file format will allow future upgrades
to automatically preserve the existing system configuration data,
instead of installing a default set of configuration files
