Postfix snapshot 20030715 brings:

- Policy delegation to an external server.  A greylisting server
is included as an example, implemented as a PERL script that is
easily modified. See the file SMTPD_POLICY_README for specific
details. This is probably not going to be part of Postfix 2.1.

- Support for multi-valued RBL services. For example, specify
"reject_rbl_client foo.bar.tld=127.0.0.3" to reject only clients
that are listed with an "127.0.0.3" address record.

Support for multiple Postfix instances will be adopted in a later
release, but is expected to be part of Postfix 2.1. The proposed
implementation makes major changes in file organization and requires
more study.

HISTORY file:

20030707

	Feature: context dependent SASL security options (i.e.
	different options when TLS is enabled/disabled). Lutz
	Jaenicke.  Files:  */*sasl_glue.[hc].

20030708

	Hardened the attr_scan routines for exposure to an untrusted
	environment, in preparation for possible use with SMTP
	policy delegation to an external server.

	Feature: address filter for RBL lookups, for use with
	multi-valued RBL services. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.

20030709

	Cleanup: use off_t instead of int for VSTREAM file offsets.
	This was needed for mailboxes > 2GB on 32-bit systems.
	Files: util/vstream.c, global/mail_copy.c.

20030710

	Support for multiple A and TXT results in RBL lookups.
	Victor Duchovni, Morgan Stanley.  File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c.

	Support for attribute-based query-reply protocols.  Files:
	util/attr_clnt.[hc], util/auto_clnt.[hc].

20030711

	Support for plain "name=value\n" attribute protocol.  Files:
	util/attr_{scan,print}_plain.c.

	Bugfix: the LMTP session caching code did not reset the
	EHLO server feature list when it needed to reconnect.
	Problem found by Tobias Erbsland.

20030712

	Feature: delegated SMTP policy server. As an example, see
	the greylisting server in examples/smtpd-policy.  Specify
	"check_smtpd_policy_service" in smtpd_mumble_restrictions.
	See SMTPD_POLICY_SERVICE_README for details.
