Postfix 2.2.9 was released a few days ago. This is mostly a collection of back-ported fixes from the Postfix 2.3 development branch. Most of this patch hardens the TLS implementation against DNS-based attacks, and eliminates some anomalies from the TLS per-site policy engine. See the TLS_README document for tips on how to avoid DNS-based attacks that can change the server hostname that Postfix uses for logging, for TLS per-site policies, and for server certificate verification. The patch also adds a workaround that prevents Postfix from repeatedly trying to deliver mail to domains with a malformed MX record (for example, with a null MX hostname). Postfix 2.2.9 bounces such mail immediately.
