Branch: pkgsrc-2007Q3, Version: 2.4.6, Package name: postfix-2.4.6, Maintainer: martti

Postfix aims to be an alternative to the widely-used sendmail
program. Sendmail is responsible for 70% of all e-mail delivered
on the Internet. With an estimated 100 million users, that's an
estimated 10 billion (10^10) messages daily. A stunning number.

Although IBM supported the Postfix development, it abstains from
control over its evolution. The goal is to have Postfix installed
on as many systems as possible. To this end, the software is given
away with no strings attached to it, so that it can evolve with
input from and under control by its users.

In other words, IBM releases Postfix only once. I will be around
to guide its development for a limited time.

   Log message:
   Updated mail/postfix to 2.4.6

   - A remote SMTP client TLS certificate with an unparsable canonical
      name triggered a panic error in the Postfix SMTP server (attempt
      to allocate zero-length memory) while sending a request to an
      SMTPD policy server.

   - On backup MX servers where the queue file system is mounted with
      "atime" (file read/execute access time) updates disabled, the
      flush daemon would trigger mail delivery attempts once every 1000
      seconds, thus rendering the maximal_backoff_time setting useless
      for backup MX service.
