In a perfect world, the program maintainers would know about the patch and take steps to correct their package/port or whatever. You might want to contact the maintainer of Postfix for your Distro and see if they are planning on updating the package/port. Usually, they do get a little annoyed if you start bugging them 5 seconds after the patch is released. Some of them actually have day jobs
Well, I'm not planning to bug them with the patch. I don't know if the integration of the patch with the current package versions is automatic or author / bug discoverers must or should notify them to package maintainers...
That's what I was asking: if the process is automatic or should I notify / help in any way.
