Postfix stable release 2.6.5, 2.5.9, 2.4.13 and 2.3.19
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.

Postfix 2.6.2 available (SASL)
Postfix stable release 2.6.2 fixes one defect in SASL support.
This does not affect Postfix versions 2.5 and earlier.
With plaintext SMTP sessions AND smtpd_tls_auth_only=yes AND
smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes, the SMTP server logged warnings for
reject_*_sender_login_mismatch, instead of enforcing them.
You can find Postfix version 2.6.2 at the mirrors listed at
http://www.postfix.org/
The same fix is also available in Postfix snapshot 2.7-20090528.
Postfix versions 2.5 and earlier are not affected.

Postfix 2.6.1 available (file corruption)
Postfix stable release 2.6.1 fixes one defect in Milter support.
This does not affect Postfix versions 2.5 and earlier.
- Queue file corruption under very specific conditions: (smtpd_milters
or non_smtpd_milters) enabled, AND delay_warning_time enabled,
AND mail delivery delays, AND short envelope sender addresses
(e.g., sendmail command-line submissions with bare usernames as
the sender, but not bounce messages).
The queue file would be corrupted when the delay_warning_time
record was marked as "done" after sending the "your mail is
delayed" notice.

Postfix version 2.6.0 available
Postfix stable release 2.6.0 is available. After Postfix was declared
"complete" with version 2.3, the focus has moved towards improving
the code/documentation, and updating it for changing environments.
- Multi-instance support introduces a new postmulti(1) command to
create/add/remove/etc. additional Postfix instances. The familiar
"postfix start" etc. commands now automatically start multiple
Postfix instances. The good news: nothing changes when you use
only one Postfix instance.
