postfix-current 2.10.20120520,4 mail =87

A secure alternative to widely-used Sendmail
Maintained by: sahil@FreeBSD.org
Port Added: 13 Sep 2000 17:50:46
Also Listed In: ipv6
License: not specified in port

---

---

Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure, while at the same
time being sendmail compatible enough to not upset existing users. Thus, the
outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different.

Some feautures:

Connection cache for SMTP, DSN status notifications, IP version 6, Plug-in
support for multiple SASL implementations (Cyrus, Dovecot), TLS encryption and
authentication, Configurable status notification message text, Access control
per client/sender/recipient/etc, Content filter (built-in, external before
queue, external after queue), Berkeley DB database, LDAP database, MySQL
database, PostgreSQL database, Maildir and mailbox format, Virtual domains,
VERP envelope return addresses and others.

  Affects: users of mail/postfix-current

  Author: Sahil Tandon <sahil@FreeBSD.org>

  Reason: 
    From the upstream RELEASE_NOTES:
  
    Instead of terminating immediately with a "fatal" message when a
    database file can't be opened, a Postfix daemon program now logs
    an "error" message, and continues execution with reduced
    functionality.
  
    Specify "daemon_table_open_error_is_fatal = yes" to get the
    historical behavior (immediate termination with "fatal" message).
  
    Logfile-based alerting systems may need to be updated to look for
    "error" messages in addition to "fatal" messages.
  
    By default the Postfix SMTP server no longer reports transcripts
    of sessions where a client command is rejected because a table is
    unavailable.  To receive such reports, add the new "data" class to
    the notify_classes parameter value. The reports will be sent to the
    error_notice_recipient address as before. This class is also used
    by the Postfix SMTP client to report about sessions that fail
    because a table is unavailable.

  Affects: users of mail/postfix-current

  Author: Sahil Tandon <sahil@FreeBSD.org>

  Reason: 
    The default smtp_address_preference value is now "any" instead
    of "ipv6", meaning choose randomly between IPv6 and IPv4. With
    this the Postfix SMTP client will have more success delivering
    mail to sites that have problematic IPv6 configurations.

  Affects: users of mail/postfix-current

  Author: ohauer@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    Incompatibility with snapshot 20100912
    ======================================
    - If your DNSBL queries have a "secret" in the domain name, you must
      now censor this information from the postscreen(8) SMTP replies.
    - The postscreen "continue" action is now called "ignore". The old
      name is still supported but no longer documented.
    - The postscreen_hangup_action parameter was removed. Postscreen
      now always behaves as if "postscreen_hangup_action = drop".
    - The postscreen_cache_retention_time default was increased from
      1d to 7d, to avoid deleting results from expensive deep SMTP
      protocol tests too quickly.
  
    Incompatibility with snapshot 20100827
    ======================================
    - The Postfix SMTP client no longer appends the local domain when
      looking up a DNS name without ".".
      Specify "smtp_dns_resolver_options  = res_defnames" to get the old
      behavior, which may produce unexpected results.

Update mail/postfix-current to 2.9-20120115, and note
potential incompatibilities with previous versions.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().

In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.

Update to 2.9-20120102 and eliminate a now unnecessary
part of recent UPDATING entry for this port.

to the upstream install script. This is to ensure the
correct placement of files, as defined in the packing
list, even when users modify their configuration file

take precedence over definitions in the configuration
file, which in turn override compiled-in defaults.

Reported by:    Jorge Medina <jorge__bsdchile.cl>

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.

1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).

No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
