Postfix 1.1 patch 09 brings you the usual minor fixes that also
appeared in recent snapshots, plus a change that closes an obscure
relaying loophole with user en domain@postfix-style.virtual.domain
addresses for virtual domains with @domain.name catch-all patterns.
This change introduces a new parameter, with backwards compatible
default settings. To allow Postfix to receive user en domain@domain
addresses, specify "resolve_dequoted_address = no" in main.cf (quote
the address localpart as per RFC 822, don't look for @ etc. inside
the address localpart). Although this is technically more correct,
it also opens opportunities for mail relay attacks when Postfix
provides backup MX service for Sendmail systems.
For the other minor changes, see the HISTORY file extract below.

Extract from the RELEASE_NOTES file:
Incompatible changes with Postfix version 1.1.9 (released 20020513)
===================================================================
The Postfix SMTP server by default no longer accepts mail for
user en domain@postfix-style.virtual.domain, to close a relaying
loophole with postfix-style virtual domains that have @domain.name
catch-all patterns.
To allow such addresses, specify "resolve_dequoted_address = no"
in main.cf (quote the address localpart as per RFC 822, and don't
look for @ or % or ! characters inside the address localpart).
However, this opens opportunities for obscure mail relay attacks
when Postfix provides backup MX service for Sendmail systems.
The appearance of user en domain1@domain2 addresses has changed. In
mail headers, such addresses are now properly quoted as
"user en domain1"@domain2. As a side effect, this quoted form is now
also expected on the left-hand side of virtual and canonical lookup
tables, but only by some of the Postfix components. For now, it
is better not to use user en domain1@domain2 address forms on the
left-hand side of lookup tables.

Bugfix: close user en domain@postfix-style.virtual.domain
source routing relaying loophole involving postfix-style
virtual domains with @virtual.domain catch-all patterns.
Problem reported by Victor Duchovny. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Bugfix: mail_addr_map() used the "wrong" @ character in
addresses with multiple @. Victor Duchovny. File:
global/mail_addr_map.c.
Bugfix: for address localpart quoting, now quote @ as a
special character everywhere, except when resolving addresses.
Previously, the @ was nowhere quoted as a special character,
not even in SMTP commands. Files: global/quote_82[12]_local.c
and some clients.
20020509
Safety: don't allow an OK access rule lookup result for
user en domain@postfix-style.virtual.domain. Suggested by
Victor Duchovny, Morgan Stanley. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.
Bugfix: quote unquoted address localparts that need quoting.
Files: global/tok822_parse.c, global/quote_82[12]_local.c.
20020512
Cleanup: the SMTP client logged and bounced the CNAME
expanded recipient address, and thereby complicated trouble
shooting. File: src/smtp_proto.c.
Bugfix: the SMTP and LMTP clients bounced the quoted
recipient address, resulting in too much quoting in bounce
reports. Files: src/smtp_proto.c, lmtp/lmtp_proto.c.
20020513
Bugfix: the LDAP client used the "wrong" @ character in
addresses with multiple @. LaMont Jones, HP. File:
util/dict_ldap.c.
Compatibility: forwards "postqueue -r" compatibility with
the additional queue file records that are stored by snapshot
20050512.
Cleanup: specify "resolve_dequoted_address = no" to prevent
Postfix from looking inside quotes for extra @ etc. characters
when resolving an address. This behavior is technically
more correct, but it opens a mail relay loophole with "user
@domain"@domain when relaying mail to a Sendmail system.
