About this source-code archive

All Postfix source code is signed with Wietse's PGP key. See ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/mirrors/project-history/postfix/ for a more extensive archive of stable and experimental tarballs.

Postfix 3.8 stable release

See below for past stable releases that are still supported and for releases that are no longer supported.

Stable releases do not change except for bugfixes and for portability fixes. New features are tested out in experimental releases (see below).

• Postfix 3.8.5 Source code | GPG signature | GPG signature | PGP signature | Release notes | Change log

Stable releases are called "Postfix a.b.c", where a is the major release number, b is the minor release number, and c is the patchlevel.

Source code changes since Postfix Version 3.8.0.

• Postfix Version 3.8 Patch 05 gpg2-sig gpg1-sig pgp-sig | 04 gpg2-sig gpg1-sig pgp-sig | 03 gpg2-sig gpg1-sig pgp-sig | 02 gpg2-sig gpg1-sig pgp-sig | 01 gpg2-sig gpg1-sig pgp-sig

Postfix 3.9 experimental release

New features are tested in experimental releases. They become part of the next official release once the code has not changed for a significant amount of time. Although this code is still subject to change, it runs on all of Wietse's systems so it is production quality.

• postfix-3.9-20240218 Source code | GPG signature | GPG signature | PGP signature | Release notes | Change log

Experimental releases are named "postfix-a.b-yyyymmdd", where a.b is the next official Postfix release and yyyymmdd is the release date.

Postfix non-production release(s)

Non-production releases contain major changes that need to be tested further before they become part of a regular experimental release.

A non-production release usually includes all the features and fixes of the regular experimental relase of the same or earlier date.

postfix-3.9-20240222-nonprod introduces limits on the size of individual DNS responses, and limits the number of DNS queries when the combined response size exceeds a limit.

• postfix-3.9-20240222-nonprod non-production release Source code | GPG2 signature | GPG1 signature | PGP signature | Release notes | Change log

postfix-3.8-20220816-nonprod introduces infrastructure for unit tests (ptest) and for mocking dependencies (pmock). Mocks make tests independent of host and network configuration, and independent of DNS. There should be no externally visible change in behavior, because test and mock code is not installed.

• Patch (PGP signature ) that back-ports the Postfix 2.7 milter_header_checks feature to Postfix 2.6. This can be used, for example, to control mail flow with Milter-generated headers that contain indicators for badness or goodness. For details, see the postconf(5) section for "milter_header_checks". Currently, all header_checks features are implemented except PREPEND.

Postfix 2.5 (Final update: February 2012)

• Patch 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01

• Patch (PGP signature ) for CVE-2011-1720 (Memory corruption in Postfix SMTP server Cyrus SASL support).

• Patch (PGP signature ) to add stress-adaptive behavior to the SMTP server. When some mail flood keeps all server ports busy, this feature can be used to quickly drop connections from clients that make errors, and to reduce the time that Postfix waits for a client command. This may delay some legitimate deliveries, but it will allow you to still keep some mail flowing. After the mail flood ends, Postfix reverts to its normal behavior.

Postfix 2.3 (Final update: August 2009)

• Patch 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01
