Postfix 2.1 Released

Posted by michael on from the got-mail? dept.

MasTRE writes "After an extended period of polishing and testing, Postfix 2.1 is released. Some highlights: complete documentation rewrite (long overdue!), policy delegation to external code, real-time content filtering _before_ mail is accepted (a top 10 most requested feature in previous versions), major revision of the LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL code. Version 2.2 is in thw works, which promises even more features like client rate limiting and integration of the TLS and IPv6 patches into the official tree. There's never been a better time to migrate from Sendmail (just _had_ to get that in there ;)."

    I agree postfix is ubiquitous, although prefix and infix have their merits as well!

    Sigh. s/SNMP/SMTP/g

    If an SNMP-based mail system exists, I don't want to know about it. :-)
