Branch: pkgsrc-2009Q2, Version: 2.6.5, Package name: postfix-2.6.5, 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 2.6.5

The stable release Postfix 2.6.5 addresses the defects described
below (some already addressed with the not-announced Postfix 2.6.3
release).  These defects are also addressed in the legacy releases
that are still maintained: Postfix 2.5.9, 2.4.13 and 2.3.19.

Do not use Postfix 2.6.4, 2.5.8, 2.4.12, 2.3.18, 2.7-20090807, and
2.7-20090807-nonprod.  These contain a DNS workaround that causes
more trouble than it prevents. It is removed until further notice.

Defects fixed with Postfix 2.6.3, 2.5.9, 2.4.13 and 2.3.19:

- The Postfix Milter client got out of step with a Milter application
   after the application sent a "quarantine" request at end-of-message
   time. The Milter application would still be in the end-of-message
   state, while Postfix would already be working on the next SMTP
   event, typically, QUIT or MAIL FROM. In the latter case, Milter
   responses for the previously-received email message would be
   applied towards the next MAIL FROM transaction.  This problem was
   diagnosed with help from Alban Deniz.

Defects fixed with Postfix 2.6.5, 2.5.9, 2.4.13 and 2.3.19:

- The Postfix SMTP server would abort with an "unexpected lookup
   table" error when an SMTPD policy server was mis-configured in a
   particular way.
