Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-09-19 03:26:45 UTC
* Recently verisign added a wildcard A record to the .COM and .NET TLD
* zones making all .com and .net domains appear to be registered
* This causes many problems such as breaking important anti-spam checks
* which verify source domains exist.

Wietse have released a patch for Postfix dealing with this.

There were reports on the Postfix/TLS list that the tls patch breaks with the verisign patch.  I'll try 
to look into this.
Comment 2 Joakim 2003-09-25 07:23:30 UTC
Not sure if this is corrects, but the patch was updated anyhow due to some
problems. Cannot recall if it was tls or not. Great if this could be fixed
as it's a very needed featurer...

Sorry, didn't mean to change the url -- it is set back.

Anywho, so far things seem happy with this patch.  I tested:

USE=ssl -ipv6 -postgres
USE=ssl ipv6 postgres
USE=-ssl ipv6 postgres

Committing a new version of the 2.0.16 ebuild (-r1).
Comment 4 Joakim 2003-09-25 16:04:52 UTC
The '/var/spool/postfix/maildrop' dir seam to have get lost in the r1 release.
Comment 5 Max Kalika (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-21 10:03:25 UTC
Hmm.. I don't see that on my end, can you verify? Mine shows up correctly:

# grep maildrop /var/db/pkg/`portageq best_version / postfix`/CONTENTS
dir /var/spool/postfix/maildrop

Also, nothing has changed between the -r0 and -r1 ebuilds that would affect
this.

As a side issue, is this patch still needed since verisign turned off site-finder
(or whatever they called it).
Comment 6 Joakim 2003-10-21 11:16:05 UTC
Well I don't remember now, must have fixed it somehow... :-) I don't think
it's needed anymore, havn't check with the postfix list though what the status
is.
Comment 7 Max Kalika (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-08 00:58:04 UTC
I believe this is all fixed with the latest commits.
