[An on-line version of this announcement will be available at
http://www.postfix.org/announcements/postfix-2.7.8.html]
Postfix legacy releases 2.7.8, 2.6.14 and 2.5.17 are available.
This is the final update for Postfix 2.5, released in 2008. From
now on, the supported stable and legacy releases are Postfix 2.6
.. 2.9. New features appear in the Postfix 2.10 development release.
* (Postfix 2.5, 2.6) While the Postfix SMTP client's protocol
parser uses the last SMTP reply line as intended, the error
processing routine was taking information from the beginning
of the response. This was causing "Protocol error" bounces
with postscreen multi-line responses and Postfix <= 2.6 clients.
* (Postfix 2.5, 2.6, 2.7) The fix for local delivery agent
database lookup errors was incomplete. The fix correctly added
new code to detect database lookup errors with
mailbox_transport_maps, mailbox_command_maps or
fallback_transport_maps, but it failed to log the problem,
and to produce a defer logfile record which is needed for
"delayed mail" and "mail too old" delivery status notifications.
* (Postfix 2.5, 2.6, 2.7) The trace(8) service, used for DSN
SUCCESS notifications, did not distinguish between notifications
for a non-bounce or a bounce message, causing it to "reply"
to mail with the null sender address. Problem reported by
Sabahattin Gucukoglu.
* (Postfix 2.5, 2.6, 2.7) The "change header" milter request
could replace the wrong header. A long header name could match
a shorter one, because a length check was done on the wrong
string. Reported by Vladimir Vassiliev.
* (Postfix 2.7) Support for Dovecot auth over TCP sockets, using
code that already existed for testing purposes.
