-- Info from Wietse --
Patch 04 fixes one old problem that never happened, and fixes two
new problems introduced with patch 03, one of which urgent. The
problems were found as I was reorganizing the cleanup daemon code.
The too long header fix in patch 03 loses mail when a header is
found too long, and when that mail is't posted with "sendmail -t".
Actually the mail is not lost. The queue file stays in the incoming
queue, as a file with mode -rw-------.
In order to have such mail delivered, chdir into the directory
/var/spool/postfix/incoming, and look for mode -rw------- queue
files that are older than a few minutes (ls -lt|more) and chmod +x
those old mode -rw------- queue files.
DO NOT CHMOD +X ALL INCOMING QUEUE FILES because that causes Postfix
to discard messages that are still being received.
This is done in a tricky way, so as not to disturb the usual sequence
of targets. Namely, you still have
fetch, extract, patch, configure, build, install, package,
but patch does invoke a subtarget distpatch when needed,
and you can
fetch, extract, distpatch, patch, configure, build, install, package
for the same results.
Mostly useful for porters: provide an intermediate point to work on
patches, and make it easy to override distpatch/OpenBSD patches separately.
Postfix version 19991231 patchlevel 03 fixes low-priority defects
and provides workarounds for unusual conditions.
- Workaround to prevent one site with a huge backlog from blocking
all other deliveries. This is controlled by a new configuration
parameter qmgr_site_hog_factor (default: 90 percent) that limits
how much in-memory queue manager resources a site can claim.
- Workarounds for the most likely problems that will happen when
running the Postfix queue on top of NFS.
- The SMTP server did not look in the relocated table and would
report "User unknown" rather than letting the mail bounce the
way it is supposed to be.
- When requested to extract recipients from message headers, Postfix
now insists that no message header exceeds the header size limit.
This prevents Postfix from inadvertently disclosing Bcc: addresses.
fastforward handles qmail forwarding according to a cdb database. It can
create forwarding databases from a sendmail-style /etc/aliases or from
user-oriented virtual-domain tables.

It is meant as a replacement for the entire sendmail-binmail system on
typical Internet-connected UNIX hosts.

TCP client-server applications.
tcpserver and tcpclient conform to UCSPI, the UNIX Client-Server Program
Interface, using the TCP protocol. UCSPI tools are available for several
different networks.

- add missing RMD160 and SHA1 checksums
- convert patches to unified diffs
- make this port respect CC and CFLAGS
- remove some unnecedsary comments from DESCR
This trims down the number of sub-makes the port system runs quite a bit,
and makes some other fun stuff possible.
THIS KILLS THE pre-*/post-* SCRIPT STUFF
The functionality is unneeded, as it can be done with normal
pre-*/post-* targets, but it must be kept in mind when porting
Free/NetBSD ports.
