malformed address extensions.

Bugfix: updated LDAP client module from LaMont Jones, HP.
This also introduces new LDAP query filter patterns: %u
(address localpart) and %d (domain part). Files:
conf/sample-ldap.cf, util/dict_ldap.c.
20010729
Bugfix: recursive smtpd_whatever_restrictions clobbered
intermediate results when switching between sender and
recipient address restrictions. Problem found by Victor
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
result did not prevent lookups with substrings of the same
lookup key. Found by Victor Duchovni, morganstanley.com.

Robustness: trim trailing whitespace from regexp and pcre
right-hand sides, for consistency with DB/DBM tables.
Files: util/dict_pcre.c, util/dict_regexp.c.
20010731
Robustness: eliminate duplicate IP addresses after expansion
of hostnames in $inet_interfaces, so that Postfix does not
suddenly refuse to start up after someone changes the DNS.
Postfix official release 20010228 patch 03 fixes all known problems that were
also fixed with snapshot 20010525.
The official Postfix release does not change except for bugfixes. New
features are introduced in Postfix snapshots; the snapshots eventually evolve
into the next official release.
Only only major fix is for a memory leak in the LDAP client module. If you do
not use LDAP, then there is no urgent need to apply the patch.
A fully patched version will be made available via the usual sites listed on
the www.postfix.org web site.

Postfix Release 20010228 Patchlevel 01 includes patches that were
sent to the list in the last month, some portability enhancements,
and updated documentation.
- The flush daemon complained when Postfix was deferring mail
for user@[ip.address], and aborted with a panic when deferring
mail to user@a.domain.name (one-letter subdomain name).
- The LMTP connection caching did not work for destinations that
start with inet: or unix:.
- The cleanup server stalled when mail exceeded the queue file
size limit by a small amount. The sender was not informed of
the file size problem and kept sending the mail repeatedly.
- Mail address headers with newline inside (comment) caused
Postfix to emit a backslash before the end of line.

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.
