Postfix 2.2.8 backs out a workaround for broken servers/firewalls
that created more problems than it solved.

- The Postfix 2.2.6 paranoia about malformed remote server replies
caused "multiple delivery" problems or "no delivery" problems with
broken servers/firewalls. Postfix still logs a warning but no longer
defers delivery.

A similar workaround back-out is available as snapshot 20060103.

HISTORY file:
=============

20051212

	Bugfix: an EHLO I/O error after STARTTLS would be reported
	as a STARTTLS I/O error. File: smtp/smtp_proto.c.

20051213

	Bugfix: the *SQL, proxy and LDAP maps were not defined in
	user-land commands such as postqueue. Leandro Santi. File:
	postqueue/postqueue.c.

20051225

	Workaround: the regexp map cleverly avoided scanning constant
	results for non-existent $number expressions, but failed
	to subject those constant results to $$ -> $ replacement.
	Since fixing this requires too much change for a stable
	release, the optimization is turned off (it doesn't exist
	in the 2.2 PCRE map, either). Files: util/dict_regexp.c.

20051231

	Bugfix: the anvil server would terminate after "max_idle"
	seconds, even when this was less than the anvil_rate_time_unit
	interval. File: anvil/anvil.c.

20060101

	Portability: 64-bit support for LINUX chroot script by Keith
	Owens.  File: examples/chroot-setup/LINUX2.

20060103

	Backout: the Postfix 2.2.6 paranoia about garbage in remote
	server replies caused "multiple delivery" problems or "no
	delivery" problems with broken servers/firewalls. Postfix
	still logs a warning but no longer defers delivery.  File:
	smtp/smtp_chat.c.

	Portability: FreeBSD 6 is a supported platform. Files:
	util/sys_defs.h, makedefs.
