+postfix (3.1.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ Starting with postfix 3.0, Debian's custom dynamically loadable module
+ support has been replaced with a new upstream implementation. To support
+ this change, some files in /etc/postfix required updates. If prompted
+ during install to accept or reject changes, take care not to reject changes
+ due to the new configuration. Failure to do so may lead to a non-working
+ system.
+
+ Starting with Debian 9, Codename Stretch, postfix is shipped with a systemd
+ unit file for native systemd integration (the old sysv init script is also
+ provided for non-systemd deployments). Manipulation of Postfix instances
+ using the new unit files is described in README.Debian.

+postfix (2.4-20070123-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ As of this version, Debian's postfix defaults to matching upstream
+ behavior (introduced in postfix 2.0) in handling excessively long lines
+ in a message:
+ The Postfix SMTP client now breaks message header or body lines that
+ are longer than $smtp_line_length_limit characters (default: 990).
+ Earlier Postfix versions broke lines at $line_length_limit characters
+ (default: 2048). Postfix versions before 20010611 did not break long
+ lines at all. Reportedly, some mail servers refuse to receive mail
+ with lines that exceed the 1000 character limit that is specified by
+ the SMTP standard.
+
+ Those wishing the old behavior of never breaking lines should set
+ smtp_line_length_limit=0 in /etc/postfix/main.cf, and be aware that they
+ are not standard conformant.
