New expansion operators base32/base32d. + 7. The CHUNKING ESMTP extension from RFC 3030. May give some slight + performance increase and network load decrease. Main config option + chunking_advertise_hosts, and smtp transport option hosts_try_chunking + for control. + + 8. LMDB lookup support, as Experimental. Patch supplied by Andrew Colin Kissa. + + 9. Expansion operator escape8bit, like escape but not touching newline etc.. + +10. Feature macros, generated from compile options. All start with "_HAVE_" + and go on with some roughly recognisable name. Driver macros, for + router, transport and authentication drivers; names starting with "_DRVR_". + Option macros, for each configuration-file option; all start with "_OPT_". + Use the "-bP macros" command-line option to see what is present. + +11. Integer values for options can take a "G" multiplier. + +12. defer=pass option for the ACL control cutthrough_delivery, to reflect 4xx + returns from the target back to the initiator, rather than spooling the + message. + +13. New built-in constants available for tls_dhparam and default changed. + +14. If built with EXPERIMENTAL_QUEUEFILE, a queuefile transport, for writing + out copies of the message spool files for use by 3rd-party scanners. + +15. A new option on the smtp transport, hosts_try_fastopen. If the system + supports it (on Linux it must be enabled in the kernel by the sysadmin) + try to use RFC 7413 "TCP Fast Open". No data is sent on the SYN segment + but it permits a peer that also supports the facility to send its SMTP + banner immediately after the SYN,ACK segment rather then waiting for + another ACK - so saving up to one roundtrip time. Because it requires + previous communication with the peer (we save a cookie from it) this + will only become active on frequently-contected destinations. + Version 4.87 ------------
