sendmail 8.17.0.Alpha0 is available for testing. It has experimental
support for MTA-STS, enhancements for EAI, and fixes some problems.

8.17.0/8.17.0 202X/XX/XX
Experimental support for SMTPUTF8 (EAI, see RFC 6530-6533)
is available when using the compile time option USE_EAI
(see also devtools/Site/site.config.m4.sample for other
required settings) and the cf option SmtpUTF8.
For mail submission the new command line option -U must
be used to specify SMTPUTF8.
Please test and provide feedback.
Experimental support for SMTP MTA Strict Transport Security
(MTA-STS, see RFC 8461) is available when using
- the compile time option _FFR_MTA_STS,
- FEATURE(sts), which implicitly sets the cf option
StrictTransportSecurity,
- postfix-mta-sts-resolver, see
https://github.com/Snawoot/postfix-mta-sts-resolver.git
New ruleset clt_features which can be used to select features
in the SMTP client per server. Currently only two
flags are available: D/M to disable DANE/MTA-STS,
respectively.
Avoid leaking session macros for an envelope between
delivery attempts to different servers. This problem
could have affected check_compat.
Avoid leaking actual SMTP replies between delivery attempts
to different servers which could cause bogus logging
of reply= entries.
Change default SMTP reply code for STARTTLS related problems
from 403 to 454 to better match the RFCs.
Fix a theoretical buffer overflow when encountering an
unknown/unsupported socket address family on an
operating system where sa_data is larger than 30
(the standard is 14). Based on patch by Toomas Soome.

Thank you for your efforts Claus.

The MTA-STS and SMTPUTF8 look quite interesting.

It looks like the MTA-STS is using the Postfix MTA-STS resolver as a
socket map to determine some expected connection parameters. I like the
methodology.

I look forward to both trying these and for them to progress out of
alpha status.

Thank you again for all that you do.

Can you say on which operating systems it's likely to work better or worse?
I'll be installing it on a VPS and it's as easy to install one OS as another.

My default is FreeBSD, will use that unless I hear that there's likely to
be more system-specific issues to sort out.

FreeBSD and OpenBSD are fine. CentOS is ok. Unfortunately I don't
have access to other OS for testing anymore, so we rely on feedback
from users to be informed about potential problems.
