Mudd. +Apologies for any names omitted. + +19980105 + + 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 $inet_interfaces. The man pages + were wrong too. File: global/addr_match.c. + +19980401 + + Robustness: FIFO file permissions now default to 0622. On + some systems, opening a FIFO read-only could deafen the + pickup daemon. Only the listener end (which is opened as + root) needs read access anyway, so there should not be a + loss of functionality by making FIFOs non-readable for + non-mail processes. + +19980402 + + Compatibility: sendmail -I and -c options added. + +19980403 + + Feature: virtual lookups are now recursive. File: + qmgr/qmgr_message.c + +19980405 + + Implemented sendmail -bs (stand-alone) mode. This mode runs + as the user and therefore deposits into the maildrop queue. + +19980406 + + The pickup service now removes malformed maildrop files. + +19980407 + + The pickup service now guards against maildrop files with + time stamps dated into the future. + +19980408 + + Bugfix: in the canonical and virtual maps, foo->address + would match foo@$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. + +19981117 + + 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. + +19981202 + + Man pages, on-line version. + +19981203 + + Man pages, html version; overview documentation. + +19981206 + + Sendmail silently accepted the unsupported -qRsite and + -qSsite options. It now prints an error message and + terminates. + + Separated the contributed tree from the IBM code; moved + the LDAP and NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP code to the contributed + source tree because obviously I didn't write it. + +19981206-9 + + Had to write a postconf configuration utility in order to + reliably find out about all configuration parameters and + their defaults. + + Documentation bugfixes by Matt Shibla, Scott Drassinower, + Greg A. Woods. + +19981209 + + On machines with short hostnames, postconf -d cored while + reporting a fatal error. It should not report that error + in the first place. Thanks, Eilon Gishri. + + Changed the FAQ entry about rejecting mail for *.my.domain + on a firewall. Chip Christian was right, I was wrong. + +19981214 + + 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. + + 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 + Mike Muus, Army Research Lab, USA. + + Feature: the smtp-sink test server now supports SMTP command + pipelining. To this end we had to generalize the timer and + vstream support.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The old behavior is + re-instated when main.cf specifies: "allow_min_user = + yes". Credits to Mads Kiilerich @ Kiilerich.com. File: + qmgr/qmgr_message.c. + + Bugfix: after 19990831, the queue manager would throw away + defer logs after deferring mail to known-to-be-dead hosts + or message transports.

Files: + util/dict.h, util/dict_regexp.c, util/dict_pcre.c. + +20021207 + + 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. + + Cleanup: removed support for obsolete #number domain forms. + File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c. + +20021209 + + The Postfix installation procedure no longer sets the + "chattr +S" bit on Linux queue directories.

Based + on suggestion by Matthias Andree. Files: src/smtpd/smtpd.c, + src/smtpd/smtpd_check.c. + +20021211 + + Performance: doubled the default process limit (50->100) + and default queue manager active queue message/recipient + limits (10k->20k). File: global/mail_params.h. + + Bugfix: the change that begot us multiple trivial-rewrite + processes (good) also gave us multiple verify daemons (bad). + File: conf/post-install. + +20021212 + + Cleanup: allow transport map lookups to override error + mailer results (to avoid breaking existing installations), + and do transport map lookups before relocated map lookups. + Files: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c, trivial-rewrite/transport.c. + + 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 + unknown in {local recipient | virtual alias | virtual + mailbox | relay recipient} table".

File: trivial-rewrite/resolve.c. + + Robustness: scan the resolved recipient address for routing + operators in the address local-part, even when the local + MTA does not recognize ! and % as valid operators. File: + trivial-rewrite/resolve.c. + + Cleanup: the address rewriting code no longer tries to + rewrite broken user@ or user@. address forms into even more + 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). + + Bugfix: a null address local-part before @domain now is + properly quoted just like the null address. File: + global/quote_82[12]_local.c. + +20021217 + + Cleanup: more work on the trivial-rewrite address rewriting + and address resolving code.

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 + "User unknown" responses. The extra detail makes trouble + shooting easier but also reveals information that is nobody + elses business. + +20021221 + + Workaround: don't allow the transport map to override the + virtual alias class (error:User unknown) result. File: + trivial-rewrite/transport.c. + +20030101 + + Documentation update: new-style virtual domains broke the + advanced content filtering example. Files: FILTER_README, + RELEASE_NOTES-2.0. + +20030102 + + Cleanup: use different client instances when the same map + is opened with different flags. File: global/maps.c. + + Feature: proxymap server for Postfix table lookups. This + helps to consolidate the number of open lookup tables (such + as MYSQL or LDAP), or to overcome chroot restrictions + (example: specify proxy:unix:passwd.byname to avoid the + need for a copy of the UNIX passwd file in chroot jails). + Files: global/dict_proxy.[hc], proxymap/proxymap.c + + Cleanup: multiservers such as trivial-rewrite and the new + proxymap server now enforce the max_use total client number + limit more agressively, by not accepting new connections + after the limit is reached. Based on a patch by Victor + Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. File: master/multi_server.c. + +20030103 + + 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.

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.

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.

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.

File: + master/master_ent.c. + +20030619 + + 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/smtpd_check.c. + + Safety: always truncate SMTP server error replies to 512 + bytes. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c. + +20030717 + + Documentation: added description of policy_time_limit to + the SMTPD_POLICY_README document. + + Documentation: corrected the command time limit parameter + syntax in the spawn(8) manual page. + + Feature: defer_if_permit and defer_if_reject actions in + access tables, mainly for use by the delegated policy + server.

Files: util/find_inet.c, + smtp/smtp_connect.c, lmtp/lmtp_connect.c. + +20030822 + + Feature: the export_environment and import_environment + parameters now accept name=value information that will be + entered into the new environment. File: util/clean_env.c. + +20030823 + + Feature: smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks parameter to prevent + Postfix from offering AUTH to clients that match the listed + networks. Based on code by Ben Rosengart, Panix. Files: + conf/sample-auth.cf, smtpd/smtpd.c. + +20030902 + + Portability: the Postfix master resets the file size to + the largest possible off_t value when the actual limit + appears to overflow the off_t range. Files: util/sys_defs.h, + util/file_limit.c. A fine sample of bit banging. + +20030905 + + Workaround: Solaris 8 select() claims that a non-blocking + socket is readable and then read() fails with EAGAIN. Files: + util/timed_read.c and as precautionary measure, + util/timed_write.c. + + Bugfix: dict_register() should not be called from dict_open() + in dict_mysql and dict_pgsql. Liviu Daia. Files: + util/dict_mysql.c, util/dict_pgsql.c. + + Feature: LDAP parameters can now be specified in external + files. This makes it possible to securely store bind + passwords for plain auth outside of main.cf (which is world + readable). By Liviu Daia, based on a suggestion by Victor + Duchovni and Lamont Jones. File: util/dict_ldap.c. + + Feature: STARTTLS option for LDAP, if Postfix is linked + against OpenLDAP. By Liviu Daia, amended by Victor Duchovni. + File: util/dict_ldap.c. + + Cleanup: connections to LDAP sources are now postponed + until they are actually needed. By Liviu Daia. File: + util/dict_ldap.c. + +20030908 + + The 20030905 Solaris workaround triggers too many warnings. + TCP sockets are back to blocking, and keepalives are turned + on to kill off dead sockets, as suggested by Leandro Santi. + Files: master/{single,multi}_server.c, smtpd/smtpd.c, + util/sys_defs.h. + +20030909 + + Bugfix: the LMTP session caching code had problems with + SASL authentication after the first connection, and pipelining + was working poorly. Fix by Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. + 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. + +20030913 + + Safety: set-gid commands don't trust TZ. File: msg_syslog.c. + +20030914 + + Address extension propagation wasn't documented enough when + it was added to Postfix. Based on patches by Roman Neuhauser. + + Added clarifying notes to main.cf, master.cf and access by + Dean Gibson. + + In header/body_checks, DUNNO is now the preferred action + instead of the now deprecated OK.

File: + src/cleanup/cleanup_message.c. + + Feature: reject_rhsbl_helo. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c. + + Bugfix? The LMTP and SMTP clients now send "MAIL FROM:<sender> + AUTH=<>" when SASL authenticated. Suggested by by Victor + Duchovni, Morgan Stanley. Files: smtp/smtp_proto.c, + lmtp/lmtp_proto.c. + +20030915 + + 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.

File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c. + +20030917 + + Feature: ``check_helo_{ns,mx}_access maptype:mapname'', + same semantics as sender and recipient. + + 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. + +20030920 + + 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.

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).

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.

These queue IDs encode the time and inode + number with a safe alphabet of the 52 characters 0-9B-Zb-z. + The alphabet excludes vowels (AEIOUaeiou) to avoid creating + real words. The queue ID format is: time in seconds, time + in microseconds, 'z', inode number (the inode number is + encoded without using the 'z' character of the safe alphabet). + Turning on long queue IDs changes the width of the first + output column of the mailq (postqueue -p) command, and + changes the appearance of Postfix Message-ID headers to + queueID@myhostname.

The shared-library version suffixes + were fighting against assumptions and conventions in run-time + linkers, including the assumption that ABIs are preserved + from one version to the next. The Postfix version can now + be embedded in the shlib_directory parameter. As this is + sufficient to permit upgrade of a running Postfix system + without risking that old binaries will link against newer + shared objects, we no longer need a version suffix for + dynamicmaps.cf.

Provenance matters: for example, the owner UID + of an aliases(5) database file determines the execution + privileges for delivery to |command or /file/name. Refined + the algorithm that computes the provenance of a pipemap, + based on the provenance of its constituent lookup tables. + Files: util/dict.[hc], util/dict_pipe.c. + + Cleanup: made mail_spool_directory configurable with "make + makefiles mail_spool_directory=/path/name".

Viktor + Dukhovni. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c. + + Feature: VERY PRELIMINARY support for SMTPUTF8 based on an + initial implementation by Arnt Gulbrandsen, funded by CNNIC. + This implements the syntax of SMTP commands and DSN delivery + status notifications. It does not address the problem that + the same domain name may show up in different forms: an + UTF8-encoded name with non-ASCII charaters, or an IDNA-encoded + (xn--mumble) name with ASCII-only characters. This means + that access policies, mydestination, virtual_*_domains and + relay_domans will have to understand both forms in order + to provide complete coverage. For now, SMTPUTF8 support + must not be enabled except for testing. + +20140710 + + Portability: add '-Wl,--enable-new-dtags' to the linker + command line with building with Postfix shared libraries + on Linux. Viktor Dukhovni. file: makedefs. + +20140711 + + Background: What is SMTPUTF8 autodetection? Postfix cannot + rely solely on the sender's declaration that a message + requires SMTPUTF8 support, because UTF8 may be introduced + during local processing (for example, the client hostname + in Postfix's Received: header, adding @$myorigin or .$mydomain + to an incomplete address, address rewriting, alias expansion, + automatic BCC recipients, local forwarding, and modifications + made by header checks or Milter applications). This means + that some form of autodetection is needed that a message + requires SMTPUTF8 support. + + Cleanup: don't try to distinguish between UTF that is already + present in a message or envelope, and UTF8 that is introduced + during local processing (see above). Maintaining this + distinction is too problematic. + + Cleanup: mailing list friendliness. Allow delivery of + SMTPUTF8 mail to non-SMTPUTF8 servers when a message has + no UTF8 headers, no UTF8 envelope sender, and when the + specific delivery request contains no UTF8 envelope recipient. + This is needed for mailing lists that may have a mix of + UTF8 and non-UTF8 subscriber addresses. File: global/smtputf8.h, + smtp/smtp_proto.c. + + Cleanup: moved all SMTPUTF8 detection to the cleanup server, + so that it can apply equally to sendmail command-line + submission, forwarded mail, postmaster notifications, + delivery status notifications, mail received with the qmqpd + server, address verification probes, as well as UTF8 + introduced during local processing (see above). Files: + cleanup/cleanup_out.c, cleanup/cleanup_addr.c. + + Cleanup: store the SMTPUTF8 message (i.e. non-recipient) + flags in the first queue file record, so that the queue + manager can find the information without having to read + every queue file record. Files: cleanup/cleanup_final.c, + *qmgr/qmgr_message.c. + +20140713 + + Interoperability: new parameter smtputf8_autodetect_classes + for selective autodetection that a message requires UTF8SMTP + support. During the initial SMTPUTF8 rollout, this is limited + by default to Postfix sendmail command-line submissions and + address verification probes. Sites that introduce UTF8 + during local processing (see above) will have to enable + SMTPUTF8 autodetection for all mail sources. This feature + shares infrastructure with the older internal_filter_classes + feature.

This is a + preliminary implementation that should support override via + smtp_tls_policy_maps. Files: smtp.c, smtp_connect.c, + smtp_params.c, smtp_proto.c, smtp_session.c. + + TLS reuse: the SMTP client now includes the requested TLS + security level in the scache(8) key. + + TLS reuse: address-based reuse is allowed only for TLS + levels that require no certificate checks. Perhaps it still + makes sense to save such sessions for reuse by less sensitive + deliveries. Files: smtp/smtp.h smtp/smtp_reuse.c. + +20180604 + + TLS reuse: smtp_tls_connection_reuse boolean parameter, and + corresponding override with "connection_reuse" boolean + attribute in smtp_policy_maps.

This affects a tiny minority of use + cases. Fix by Viktor Dukhovni, based on a fix by Juan + Altmayer Pizzorno for Viktor's ssl_dane library. + + Cleanup: support for longer timeouts after the TLS handshake, + so that the tlsproxy server won't time out too soon, while + the SMTP client waits for the end-of-data response. This + tlxproxy timeout is a redundant safety feature for the case + that the SMTP client does not enforce the SMTP-level time + limit. Files: tls/tls_proxy.h, tls/tls_proxy_clnt.c, + tlsproxy/tlsproxy.c, posttls-finger/posttls-finger.c, + postcreen/postscreen_starttls.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c. + + Cleanup: earlier purging of unexpected plaintext. Files: + posttls-finger/posttls-finger.c, smtp/smtp_proto.c. + + Release: first production snapshot with multiple outbound + deliveries per TLS-encrypted connection. + +20180618 + + Quick tlsproxy workaround: after the remote TLS peer shuts + down TLS, allow unsent inbound plaintext to trickle out + before tearing down the proxied connection. This addresses + a sporadic "lost connection after end-of-data" error in the + Postfix SMTP client, and addresses a sporadic "lost connection + after sending QUIT" error with "posttls-finger -X". File: + tlsproxy/tlsproxy.c. + +20180619 + + Segfault: don't lookup the TLS security level for nexthop-based + connection cache storage keys. The combination of (service, + nexthop, etc.) should be stable enough over the time range + of interest, and the policy is still enforced on an individual + connection to an MX host, before that connection is stored + under a nexthop- or host-based storage key. Files: + smtp/smtp_connect.c, smtp/smtp.h. + +20180620 + + TLS connection reuse: save and restore the TLS level for a + reused connection, so that the reused connection will be + saved under a key that matches the connection's original + TLS level. This was not a problem for destinations that + require certificate verification, because we currently reuse + connections that require certificate checks only if they + are looked up by their nexthop destination. File: + smtp/smtp_session.c. + + TLS connection reuse: with TLS level > encrypt, prohibit + sharing of the same connection endpoint under different + nexthops, by making the nexthop part of the endpoint-based + connection cache lookup key. File: smtp/smtp.h. + +20180623 + + TLS connection reuse: replaced random logic with TLS_MUST_MATCH() + when deciding under what conditions an authenticated + connection may be reused. Files: smtp/smtp_proto.c, + smtp/smtp.h. + + TLS connection reuse: a tlsproxy(8) process will retire + after max_idle*max_use, or some sane constant if either is + set to zero. Files: master/event_server.c, tlsproxy/tlsproxy.c. + + Documentation: automatic retirement. File: master/single_server.c. + + Documentation: the connection caching limitation for SMTP + over TLS is now obsolete. File: proto/CONNECTION_CACHE_README.html. + +20180701 + + Incompatibility: the tlsproxy(8) daemon now requires a zero + process limit in master.cf (this setting is provided with + the default master.cf file). See RELEASE_NOTES for how to + change the tlsproxy process limit. File: tlsproxy/tlsproxy.c. + +20180707 + + Bugfix (introduced: Postfix 3.0): with smtputf8_enable=yes, + table lookups could casefold the search string when searching + a lookup table that does not use fixed-string keys (regexp, + pcre, tcp, etc.). Historically, Postfix would not case-fold + the search string with such tables. File: util/dict_utf8.c. + + Cleanup: removed unimplemented VSTRING support to enforce + a buffer size limit (by returning an error of sorts). In + practice, the limit was enforced in smtp_get(). Also made + the VSTRING inplementation more VSTREAM-compatible. Files: + util/vstring.[hc], posttls-finger/posttls-finger.c, + smtpstone/smtp-source.c. + + Cleanup: unused variable. File: postqueue/postqueue.c. + + Feature: VSTREAM support to "open" a VSTRING for read, write + or append mode, enabling the reuse of existing stream-based + code to serialize/deserialize Postfix data structures to/from + memory. File: vstream.[hc]. + + Cleanup: "make manpages" now generates a makedefs(1) manpage + for publication on the web. Also cleaned up some makedefs(1) + content. Files: man/Makefile.in, man/man1/makedefs.1, + html/Makefile.in, html/makedefs.1.html. + +20180708 + + Cleanup: VSTREAM support to "open" a VSTRING: added + vstream_ftell() support; documented what changes are needed + before this can support vstream_fseek(), without breaking a + VSTRING during vstream_fflush(); added a simple 'allow' + filter for vstream_control() requests; added a unit test. + File: util/vstream.c. + +20180812 + + Feature: smtpd_reject_footer_maps (as well as the postscreen + variant postscreen_reject_footer_maps). This is indexed + with the SMTP server response text, and overrides the footer + specified with smtpd_reject_footer. Files: global/mail_params.h, + mantools/postlink, postscreen/postscreen.c, + postscreen/postscreen_send.c, postscreen/postscreen_smtpd.c, + proto/postconf.proto, smtpd/smtpd.c, smtpd/smtpd_chat.c. + + Minor wordsmithing.

Viktor Dukhovni. + +20180824 + + Cleanup: with SMTPUTF8 turned off, the MySQL and PgSQL maps + accept only well-formed UTF-8 queries, and return NOT FOUND + otherwise. This was in introduced in Postfix 3.0 for LDAP + and SQLite, with no complaints coming forth. Files: + global/dict_mysql.c, global/dict_pgsql.c. + +20180805-20180825 Chunking support + + Cleanup: vbuf_get() now sets the EOF flag, so that reading + from a VSTRING stream works as expected. File: util/vbuf.c. + + Cleanup: added an append-mode flag to functions that read + a VSTRING from a stream. The historical APIs are preserved + in the form of aliases. Files: util/vstring_vstream.[hc], + global/smtp_stream.[hc]. + + SMTP server support for CHUNKING (BDAT) per RFC 3030. The + SMTP server is the only program that knows the difference + between mail received with BDAT or DATA. Both use the same + smtpd_data_restrictions and smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions, + both send one Milter DATA event per mail transaction, and + both send one DATA command ending in <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> + to an smtpd_proxy_filter.

Justification: it should never receive DATA + from a legitimate client, because 1) postscreen(8) rejects all + recipients, and 2) postscreen(8) does not announce PIPELINING. + This makes postscreen(8) DATA and BDAT behavior more + consistent. File: postscreen/postscreen_smtpd.c. + + BDAT final touches: report accurate BDAT byte counts after + timeout or lost connection; send DATA instead of BDAT in + policy delegation protocol. Files: smtpd/smtpd.[hc], + smtpd/smtpd_check.c. + + BDAT final touches: if the BDAT EHLO announcement is disabled, + then smtpd(8) and postscreen(8) will not accept BDAT commands. + Files: smtpd/smtpd.c, postscreen/postscreen_smtpd.c. + +20180826 + + Cleanup: with GSSAPI, the Postfix SMTP client's initial + SASL response may be as large as 12288 bytes.

With enough + experimentation, an attacker could make Postfix deliver + both the message headers and body. + + The details of a successful attack depend on the Milter + implementation, and on the Postfix and Milter configuration + details; these can be determined remotely through + experimentation. Failed experiments may be detected when + the queue manager terminates with a fatal error, or when + the queue manager moves damaged files to the "corrupt" queue + as evidence. + + Technical details: when Postfix executes a "replace body" + Milter request it will reuse queue file storage that was + used by the existing email message body. If the new body + is larger, Postfix will append body content to the end of + the queue file. The corruption happened when a Milter (for + example, MIMEDefang) made a request to replace the body of + a message with a new body that contained a copy of the + original body plus some new text, and the original body + contained a line longer than $line_length_limit bytes (for + example, an image encoded in base64 without hard or soft + line breaks). In queue files, Postfix stores a long text + line as multiple records with up to $line_length_limit bytes + each. Unfortunately, Postfix's "replace body" support did + not account for the additional queue file space needed to + store the second etc. record headers.
