Postfix has released new versions, including the latest stable version 3.10.5, as well as legacy releases 3.9.6, 3.8.12, and 3.7.17. These updates address various bugs and compatibility issues, particularly enhancing the interaction between Postfix's SMTP client and MTA-STS policy plugins.
Notable improvements in Postfix 3.10.5 include a fix for the TLSRPT policy-type value issue when "no-policy-found" is encountered, which now allows the plugin to operate under the assumption that the TLSRPT domain matches the recipient domain. This version also introduces a new parameter, "smtp_tls_enforce_sts_mx_patterns," which must be enabled to ensure that connections to MX hosts adhere to STS policy patterns and certificate matching.
Other significant bug fixes in this release target issues that arose in previous versions, such as connection reuse logic that failed to differentiate between SMTPUTF8-supported and unsupported sessions, and inaccuracies in smtpd "disconnect" command statistics. Additionally, the update rectifies broken DBM library support for Solaris and allows for compatibility with future maildrop queue file formats.
Legacy versions 3.9.6, 3.8.12, and 3.7.17 also benefit from various enhancements, including fixes for build output inconsistencies and configuration settings.
For users looking to implement or upgrade to these versions, the updated source code is available on the official Postfix website mirrors.
In summary, Postfix continues to evolve, ensuring better performance, reliability, and security for its users, while also maintaining support for older versions. As the email landscape continues to change, these updates reflect Postfix's commitment to addressing user needs and improving functionality
