The following reply was made to PR ports/138198; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Sahil Tandon <sahil@tandon.net> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: ohauer@gmx.de Subject: Re: ports/138198: [patch] port mail/postfix update to version 2.6.4 Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 23:00:06 -0400 I reject this patch because 2.6.4 has known bugs that have been fixed in 2.6.5. Please submit a patch to upgrade to 2.6.5 or give me a few days to do so myself (after I've had a chance to test). See below message from Wietse (Postfix author) for context: --- 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.
