[spf-discuss] Removing Postfix Patches from Implementations Page

2007-02-21 10:03:44
On http://www.openspf.org/Implementations we currently list source patches to 
Postfix.  When SPF was started and the current Postfix release was 2.0, this 
was a necessary approach, but since Postfix 2.1 with it's policy server 
interface (see http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html for details) 
this has no longer been necessary for quite some time.

Unofficial patches to Postfix are, for good reasons, not generally well 
received in the Postfix community.  When MTAs can be extended through 
documented public interfaces to accomplish a task, this is a safer/more 
reliable way to do it.

Unless someone objects, I'm going to remove the references to Postfix patches 
from the implementations page.
