minor updates: global/dict_ldap.c, mantools/postlink,
tlsmgs/tlsmgr.c, conf/master.cf. LaMont Jones.
+20070101
+
+ Portability: GNU Hurd support for multiple kernel environments.
+ LaMont Jones. Files: util/sys_defs.h, makedefs.
+
+ Cleanup: some default settings were adjusted to better fit
+ today's environment: queue_run_delay and minimal_backoff_time
+ were reduced from 1000s to 300s, so that deliveries are
+ retried earlier after the first failure; ipc_idle was reduced
+ from 100s to 5s, so that tlsmgr and scache clients will
+ more quickly release unused file handles. Files:
+ global/mail_params.h, proto/postconf.5.html
+
Wish list:
Update message content length when adding/removing headers.
Make postmap header/body aware so people can test multi-line
header checks.
- Investigate if clients of single-instance servers such as
- tlsmgr, verify, can close sockets earlier.
+ Eliminate Linux 1024 select() file handle bottleneck and
+ eliminate select()/poll() scaling problems by implementing
+ kqueue(2) and epoll(2) support.
REDIRECT should override original recipient info, and
probably override DSN as well.
If you upgrade from Postfix 2.2 or earlier, read RELEASE_NOTES-2.3
before proceeding.
+Incompatibility with Postfix snapshot 20070201
+==============================================
+
+Some default settings have been adjusted to better match contemporary
+requirements:
+
+- queue_run_delay and minimal_backoff_time were reduced from 1000s
+to 300s so that deliveries are retried earlier after the first
+failure.
+
+- ipc_idle was reduced from 100s to 5s, so that tlsmgr and scache
+clients will more quickly release unused file handles.
