Postfix 2.0 Patch 08 available

Postfix Version 2.0 Patch 08 adds safety mechanisms for problems
that happen rarely but that can have puzzling effects.

- Postfix processes now abort when given a net/mask pattern with
  a non-zero host portion (for example, 168.100.189.2/28), instead
  of risking to become an open mail relay.

- Workaround for file system clock drift that caused Postfix to
  ignore new mail (this could happen with queue file systems mounted
  from a server).

New features are tested out in snapshot releases. The stable release
does not change except for bugfixes.

    Incompatible changes with Postfix version 2.0.8 (released 20030415)
    ===================================================================

    Too many people mess up their net/mask patterns, causing open
    mail relay problems. Postfix processes now abort when given a
    net/mask pattern with a non-zero host portion (for example,
    168.100.189.2/28), and suggest to specify the proper net/mask
    pattern instead (for example, 168.100.189.0/28).

    Major changes with Postfix version 2.0.8 (released 20030415)
    ============================================================

    Workaround for file system clock drift that caused Postfix to ignore
    new mail (this could happen with file systems mounted from a server).
    Postfix now logs a warning and proceeds with only slightly reduced
    performance, instead of ignoring new mail.

HISTORY file fragment:

20030410

	Safety: log a fatal error when a net/mask pattern has a
	non-zero host part, so that mail delivery is deferred.
	File: util/match_ops.c.

20030411

	Bugfix: extraneous warning about out-of-order original
	recipient records by Patrik Rak. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c.

10030415

	Workaround: log a warning and reset incoming queue file
	time stamps when the file system clock is ahead of the
	local clock, instead of ignoring new mail until the next
	queue scan. The file system clock drift detection executes
	only once per process instance, to minimize the performance
	impact. File: global/mail_stream.c.
