Branch: pkgsrc-2008Q2, Version: 2.5.5, Package name: postfix-2.5.5, 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.

   Updated mail/postfix to 2.5.5

   Postfix 2.4 and later, on Linux kernel 2.6, is vulnerable to a
   denial of service attack by a local user. There is no breach of
   data confidentiality or data integrity. This problem was found by
   the Postfix author during routine source code maintenance.

           Bugfix: dangling pointer in vstring_sprintf_prepend().
           File: util/vstring.c.

   20080814

           Security: some systems have changed their link() semantics,
           and will hardlink a symlink, contrary to POSIX and XPG4.
           Sebastian Krahmer, SuSE. File: util/safe_open.c.

           The solution introduces the following incompatible change:
           when the target of mail delivery is a symlink, the parent
           directory of that symlink must now be writable by root only
           (in addition to the already existing requirement that the
           symlink itself is owned by root).  This change will break
           legitimate configurations that deliver mail to a symbolic
           link in a directory with less restrictive permissions.
