Postfix stable release 3.8.0 is available. Postfix 3.4..3.7 will
be updated soon; after that, Postfix 3.4 will no longer be updated.
The main changes are below. See the RELEASE_NOTES file for further
details.
* Support to look up DNS SRV records in the Postfix SMTP/LMTP
client, Based on code by Tomas Korbar (Red Hat). For example,
with "use_srv_lookup = submission" and "relayhost =
example.com:submission", the Postfix SMTP client will look up
DNS SRV records for _submission._tcp.example.com, and will relay
email through the hosts and ports that are specified with those
records.
* TLS obsolescence: Postfix now treats the "export" and "low"
cipher grade settings as "medium". The "export" and "low" grades
are no longer supported in OpenSSL 1.1.1, the minimum version
required in Postfix 3.6.0 and later. Also, Postfix default
settings now exclude deprecated or unused ciphers (SEED, IDEA,
3DES, RC2, RC4, RC5), digest (MD5), key exchange algorithms
(DH, ECDH), and public key algorithm (DSS).
* Attack resistance: the Postfix SMTP server can now aggregate
smtpd_client_*_rate and smtpd_client_*_count statistics by
network block instead of by IP address, to raise the bar against
a memory exhaustion attack in the anvil(8) server; Postfix TLS
support unconditionally disables TLS renegotiation in the middle
of an SMTP connection, to avoid a CPU exhaustion attack.
* The PostgreSQL client encoding is now configurable with the
"encoding" Postfix configuration file attribute. The default
is "UTF8". Previously the encoding was hard-coded as "LATIN1",
which is not useful in the context of SMTP.
* The postconf command now warns for #comment in or after a Postfix
parameter value. Postfix programs do not support #comment after
other text, and treat that as input.

Thank you Wietse and all other developers.
Postfix is like battery for Tesla, fuel for spaceX, without postfix
people can't make good and secure communications across internet.
I love postfix.
regards.
