[An on-line version of this announcement will be available at

Postfix stable release 2.10.0 is available. As of now, Postfix 2.6
is no longer updated.

Main changes (see the RELEASE_NOTES file for details):

  * Separation of relay policy (with smtpd_relay_restrictions) from
    spam policy (with smtpd_{client, helo, sender,
    recipient}_restrictions), which makes accidental open relay
    configuration less likely. The default is backwards compatible.

  * HAproxy load-balancer support for postscreen(8) and smtpd(8).
    The nginx proxy was already supported by Postfix 2.9 smtpd(8),
    using XCLIENT commands.

  * Support for the TLSv1 and TLSv2 protocols, as well as support
    to turn them off if needed for inter-operability.

  * Laptop-friendly configuration. By default, Postfix now uses
    UNIX-domain sockets instead of FIFOs, and thus avoids MTIME
    file system updates on an idle mail system.

  * Revised postconf(1) command. The "-x" option expands $name in
    a parameter value (both main.cf and master.cf); the "-o name=value"
    option overrides a main.cf parameter setting; and postconf(1)
    now warns about a $name that has no name=value setting.

  * Sendmail-style "socketmap" lookup tables.
