This document describes Postfix features that are deprecated (will be removed)
or that have already been removed. It also has tips for making an existing
Postfix configuration more future-proof.
Overview:
* Why deprecate?
* Deprecation process
* Deprecated features
WWhhyy ddeepprreeccaattee??
Sometimes, a Postfix feature needs to be replaced with a different one. To give
an example:
* The initial Postfix TLS implementation used multiple boolean parameters:
one parameter to enable opportunistic TLS (for example, "smtp_enforce_tls =
yes") and one parameter to enable mandatory TLS (for example,
"smtp_require_tls = yes").
* As we added support more features such as fingerprint, dane, and so on, we
decided not to add more boolean parameters. Instead we introduced one
configuration parameter to select from multiple deployment models (for
example, smtp_tls_security_level = may | encrypt | dane, etc...).
Having both the "old" and "new" way to configure Postfix is convenient for
existing Postfix installations, because their configuration does not break
after an upgrade to a new version. Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages.
Having multiple ways to do similar things is not only confusing for newcomers,
it also makes Postfix harder to change.

The basic process steps are:
1. Inform humans that a feature will be removed, and suggest replacements, in
logging and documentation.
2. Remove the feature, and update logging and documentation.
Disclaimer: it has taken 20 years for some features to be removed. This past is
not a guarantee for the future.

Unfortunately, this is more than a name change: the table format has changed
too, as has the table search process. There is no simple conversion of the
obsolete form to its replacement.

Depending on the Postfix version, the Postfix SMTP daemon logs following
warning:
* support for restriction "check_relay_domains" has been removed in Postfix
3.9"; instead, specify "reject_unauth_destination"
* support for restriction "check_relay_domains" will be removed from Postfix;
use "reject_unauth_destination" instead
This feature was removed because it would relay based on the client domain
name, which is not robust.
Recommended configuration to prevent an "open relay" problem with the SMTP
service on port 25:
main.cf:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_unauth_destination
...other restrictions...
Or equivalent in smtpd_relay_restrictions.
ppeerrmmiitt__mmxx__bbaacckkuupp
The Postfix version 3.9 and later SMTP daemon logs the following warning:
* support for restriction "permit_mx_backup" will be removed from Postfix;
instead, specify "relay_domains"
This feature will be removed because it is too difficult to configure recipient
address validation, making Postfix a source of backscatter bounces.
To specify the domains that Postfix will provide MX backup service for, see
Configuring Postfix as primary or backup MX host for a remote site.
rreejjeecctt__mmaappss__rrbbll
Depending on the Postfix version, the SMTP daemon logs one of the following
warnings:
* support for restriction "reject_maps_rbl" has been removed in Postfix 3.9";
instead, specify "reject_rbl_client domain-name"
* support for restriction "reject_maps_rbl" will be removed from Postfix; use
"reject_rbl_client domain-name" instead
This feature was replaced because "MAPS RBL" is the name of a specific
reputation service. The reject_rbl_client feature provides a superset of the
reject_maps_rbl functionality.
Recommended configuration:
main.cf:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_unauth_destination
reject_rbl_client domain-name
...other restrictions...
Where domain-name is the domain name of a DNS reputation service.
ppeerrmmiitt__nnaakkeedd__iipp__aaddddrreessss
Depending on the Postfix version, the SMTP daemon logs one of the following
warnings:
* support for restriction "permit_naked_ip_address" has been removed in
Postfix 3.9"; instead, specify "permit_mynetworks" or
"permit_sasl_authenticated"
* restriction permit_naked_ip_address is deprecated. Use permit_mynetworks or
permit_sasl_authenticated instead
This feature was removed because it was easy to get a false match when
smtpd_recipient_restrictions was intended to match a remote SMTP client IP
address.
Recommended configuration:
main.cf:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_unauth_destination
reject_rbl_client domain-name
...other restrictions...
That is, no restriction on HELO or EHLO syntax. Such restrictions ar rarely
useful nowadays.

Replacements for Deprecated Features</h1>
<hr>
<h2>Purpose of this document </h2>
<p> This document describes Postfix features that are deprecated
(will be removed) or that have already been removed. It also has
tips for making an existing Postfix configuration more future-proof.
</p>
<p> Overview: </p>
<ul>

<li> <a href="#process"> Deprecation process </a>

<h2> <a name="why"> Why deprecate? </a> </h2>
<p> Sometimes, a Postfix feature needs to be replaced with a different

</ul>
<!--
<p> Over time it has become clear that 'level' is too rigid, so this may
have to change again. Wietse and Viktor have been discussing a way to
specify a range with minimum properties that are required (e.g., encrypt)
and nice-to-have properties if they are available (dane or mta-sts). </p>
-->
<p> Having both the "old" and "new" way to configure Postfix is
convenient for existing Postfix installations, because their
configuration does not break after an upgrade to a new version.

<h1><img src="postfix-logo.jpg" width="203" height="98" ALT="">Postfix
Replacements for Deprecated Features</h1>
<hr>
<h2>Purpose of this document </h2>
<p> This document describes Postfix features that are deprecated
(will be removed) or that have already been removed. It also has
tips for making an existing Postfix configuration more future-proof.
</p>
<p> Overview: </p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="#why"> Why deprecate? </a>
<li> <a href="#process"> Deprecation process </a>
<li> <a href="#features"> Deprecated features </a>
</ul>
<h2> <a name="why"> Why deprecate? </a> </h2>
<p> Sometimes, a Postfix feature needs to be replaced with a different
one. To give an example: </p>
<ul>
<li> <p> The initial Postfix TLS implementation used multiple boolean
parameters: one parameter to enable opportunistic TLS (for example,
"smtp_enforce_tls = yes") and one parameter to enable mandatory TLS
(for example, "smtp_require_tls = yes"). </p>
<li> <p> As we added support more features such as fingerprint,
dane, and so on, we decided not to add more boolean parameters.
Instead we introduced one configuration parameter to select from
multiple deployment models (for example, smtp_tls_security_level =
may | encrypt | dane, etc...). </p>
</ul>
<!--
<p> Over time it has become clear that 'level' is too rigid, so this may
have to change again. Wietse and Viktor have been discussing a way to
specify a range with minimum properties that are required (e.g., encrypt)
and nice-to-have properties if they are available (dane or mta-sts). </p>
-->
<p> Having both the "old" and "new" way to configure Postfix is
convenient for existing Postfix installations, because their
configuration does not break after an upgrade to a new version.
Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages. Having multiple ways
to do similar things is not only confusing for newcomers, it also
makes Postfix harder to change. </p>
<h2> <a name="process"> Deprecation process </a> </h2>
<p> The basic process steps are: </p>
<ol>
<li> <p> Inform humans that a feature will be removed, and suggest
replacements, in logging and documentation. </p>
<li> <p> Remove the feature, and update logging and documentation. </p>
</ol>
<p> Disclaimer: it has taken 20 years for some features to be
removed. This past is not a guarantee for the future. </p>
<h2> <a name="features"> Deprecated features </a> </h2>
<p> The table summarizes removed or deprecated features and
replacements. Click on the "obsolete feature" name for a more
detailed description. </p>
