postfwd2 1.00
=============
- code: changed the default umask for the server socket to 0111
to support out-of-the-box postfix setup. Use the
--server_umask setting to change this
- code: --dumpcache command does not require debug mode anymore
- code: rate hits included to cache stats
- bugfix: rbl checks disabled for ipv6 addresses, cidr compare
will switch to default (regex/string)
postfwd2 0.22
=============
- feature: Rate limits are completely supported by postfwd2 now.
Please note that the cache daemon is required for reliable operation.
- bugfix: --syslog_facility could not be changed
- code: rate limit code rewritten
- code: new --umask, --cache_umask and --server_umask settings allow to set
filepermissions for pidfiles and unix domain sockets. New defaults are:
* master (pidfile): 0177 (owner rw)
* cache (socket): 0177 (owner rw)
* server (socket): 0117 (owner and group rw)
postfwd2 0.21
=============
- bugfix: Fixed bug when comparing sender and recipient addresses, like
"sender=$$recipient". This affects only postfwd2 version 0.20.
postfwd2 0.20
=============
- bugfix: Invalid characters in variable substitutions were not correctly catched when
the '=' operator was used, like "client_name=$$helo_name". If you can not
upgrade for some reason change your rule to "client_name=~$$helo_name"
- code: Net::DNS errors will now be handled gracefully
- code: default for options --dns_max_ns_a_lookups and --dns_max_mx_a_lookups of 100
postfwd2 0.19
=============
- bugfix: this is a bugfix release for 0.18. anyone affected is encouraged to upgrade.
detail: the default behavior for the '=' operator with numeric items
(size, recipient_count, ...) changed with version 0.18 to '==' (equals to).
now these items are compared '>=' (greater than) again.
note: if you are using 0.18 and you are not able upgrade for some reason,
please change '=' to '>=' in your ruleset where you mean 'greater than'.
postfwd2 0.18
=============
- feature: items may now be retrieved from files using "item=file:/some/where"
more information in the postfwd manual (FILES section)
- feature: helo_address, and sender_(ns|mx)_addrs can now be csv items
- feature: new rcpt() command counts recipients for rate limits (thanks to Sahil Tandon)
- code: redirect syslog to stdout for --kill, --reload, --showconfig and --dump(cache|stats)
- code: option --reload (HUP signal) now reloads config, if the file is unchanged
- code: new --debug classes 'config' and 'request'
- code: configuration parser improvements:
* rules without defined action will be skipped at configuration stage
* undefined ACLs will now be detected and skipped at configuration stage
* parser timeout skips loading a rule after 4s, to prevent problems with
large files or loops. use --config_timeout to override
- bugfix: documentation fixed (missing "action=" in ask() examples)
- bugfix: fixed logging of an uninitialized value in cache cleanups
postfwd2 0.17
=============
- feature: new compare operators *
====================================================================
ITEM == VALUE true if ITEM equals VALUE
ITEM => VALUE true if ITEM >= VALUE
ITEM =< VALUE true if ITEM <= VALUE
ITEM =~ VALUE true if ITEM ~= /^VALUE$/i
*ITEM != VALUE false if ITEM equals VALUE
*ITEM !> VALUE false if ITEM >= VALUE
*ITEM !< VALUE false if ITEM <= VALUE
*ITEM !~ VALUE false if ITEM ~= /^VALUE$/i
ITEM = VALUE default behaviour (see ITEMS section)
====================================================================
- feature: added --nodaemon and --stdout options
- code: non dns items first: if a rule contains dns and non dns items, the
lookups will only be done if all non dns items matched
- bugfix: empty pcre with empty sender_(ns|mx)_names was parsed incorrectly.
this bug affects postfwd2 versions 0.15 - 0.16
- bugfix: negated pcre items with '~=' operator were parsed incorrectly.
this bug affects postfwd2 version 0.16
postfwd2 0.16
=============
- feature: enabled dns cache for sender(ns|mx) and helo address
- feature: new options --dns_max_ns_lookups and --dns_max_mx_lookups
- code: parent_dns_cache is now disabled by default. use
--parent_dns_cache if you have a slow nameserver
- bugfix: workaround: Net::Server died if a unix domain socket
filename without a dot ('.') was used (B. Frauendienst)
postfwd2 0.15
=============
- feature: new items sender_ns_names and sender_ns_addrs
- feature: new items sender_mx_names and sender_mx_addrs
- feature: new item helo_address, please see docs for more
- feature: new parent cache statistics. the command line option --dumpstats
uses the --daemons setting now (default: cache,server)
- feature: dnsbl txt lookups only for dnsbls with at least one a record.
use --dns_async_txt for the old behaviour (see docs for more).
- code: summary function went to postfwd::master (and will stay there ;)
- code: small performance improvement (5-10%) for pcre (~= or =~) items
- bugfix: network 0.0.0.0/0 did not work as expected on all platforms
postfwd2 0.14
=============
- code: summary function was moved from postfwd::cache to postfwd::policy.
the reduced policy <-> cache communication increases throughput
considerably and improves cpu balancing on multiprocessor systems
- bugfix: fixed potential division by zero in summary function
postfwd2 0.13
=============
- feature: new options --noidlestats and --norulestats
- feature: more informative --version
- feature: documentation updates
- bugfix: disabled parent_cache counters when --summary=0
postfwd2 0.12
=============
- feature: the ask() action allows to delegate the policy decision to another
policy service (like postgrey). a new parameter allows to specify
answer patterns which should be ignored by postfwd. please look
at the 'ACTIONS' section in the manual (postfwd2 -m) for details.
- feature: parent-request cache will now only be updated, if a rule matches.
if postfwd should cache all requests, you must place a last rule:
id=DEFAULT; action=dunno
- bugfix: reorganised some parent-cache loggings for -vv and *cache debug classes
postfwd2 0.11
=============
- bugfix: all postfwd settings are now detainted
- bugfix: cache-update used an uninitialized value when no rule had hit
postfwd2 0.10
=============
- bugfix: command line arguments --pidfile
postfwd2 0.09
=============
- bugfix: command line arguments --user and --group were not correctly de-tainted
postfwd2 0.08
=============
- bugfix: command line argument --pid_file was ignored
- bugfix: command line argument --manual (-m) did not work
postfwd2 0.07
=============
- first semi-public release of postfwd2
- full ruleset compatibility, no changes required when migrating from postfwd v1
- new architecture:
* Net::Server::PreFork
ruleset processor (server) forks new child for any request
* Net::Server::Multiplex for parent cache
offers a shared request, dns and rate cache for postfwd2 children
* Net::Server::Daemonize for master process
controls server and cache (watchdog function) and allows direct
access to statistics, cache-contents, ... from the command-line
- many new commandline options (see postfwd2 -h) for more information
