Postfix snapshot 1.1.11-20020528 makes minor refinements to the
20020527 snapshot. This will be the last release for a while.
- On request by Matthias Andree, strict_8bitmime is now split into
strict_7bit_headers which should reject little if any legitimate
mail, and strict_8bitmime_body which will reject {bounces from
qmail, bounces from older Postfix versions, and majordomo approval
requests} which contain a valid 8-bit MIME email message. The
old strict_8bitmime switch still exists, for convenience.
- Another major change is in the way PCRE matches multi-line message
headers. The newline is no longer treated as a special character.
This makes the switch from regexp less painful.
The difference between a snapshot and an official release is as
follows: the official release does not change except for bugfixes
and portability patches. New features are tried out in snapshot
releases. Code that works and that stops changing becomes part of
Postfix official version 1.2.

Incompatible changes with Postfix snapshot 1.1.11-20020528
==========================================================
With PCRE pattern matching, the `.' metacharacter now matches all
characters including newline characters. This makes PCRE pattern
matching more convenient to use with multi-line message headers,
and also makes PCRE more compatible with regexp pattern matching.
The pcre_table(5) manual page has been greatly revised.
Major changes with Postfix snapshot 1.1.11-20020528
===================================================
Postfix can enforce specific aspects of the MIME standards while
receiving mail.
* Specify "strict_7bit_headers = yes" to disallow 8-bit characters
in message headers. These are always illegal.
* Specify "strict_8bitmime_body = yes" to block mail with 8-bit
content that is not properly labeled as 8-bit MIME. This blocks
mail from poorly written mail software, including (bounces from
qmail, bounces from Postfix before snapshot 20020514, and Majordomo
approval requests) that contain valid 8BITMIME mail.
* Specify "strict_8bitmime = yes" to turn on both strict_7bit_headers
and strict_8bitmime_body.
* Specify "strict_mime_encoding_domain = yes" to block mail from
poorly written mail software. More details in conf/sample-mime.cf.
Extract from HISTORY file:
20020528
Feature: strict_7bit_headers and strict_8bitmime_body are
now separately available. To to turn on both, use
strict_8bitmime.
Cleanup: abandon the use of isspace(3) in the parsing of
RFC822 message headers. Files: global/lex_822.h and lots
of little places.
Documentation: replace domain.name by domain.tld in the
example config files. The domain exists. They were getting
mail from poorly configured Postfix boxes.
Bugfix: The Postfix sendmail command did not export the
MAIL_CONFIG environment setting to the postdrop command.
File: global/mail_config.h.
Incompatibility: by default, turn on the PCRE_DOTALL flag,
so that PCRE patterns will match multi-line message headers
without causing pain. Suggested by Michael Tokarev. Also
documented all those darned undocumented PCRE flags in the
pcre_table(5) manual page. Files: util/dict_pcre.c,
proto/pcre_table.
