The following information is in part based on information that
was compiled by Dean Strik.
-
Mark Huizer wrote the original Postfix IPv6 patch.
-
Jun-ichiro 'itojun' Hagino of the KAME project made
substantial improvements. Since then, we speak of the KAME patch.
-
The PLD Linux Distribution ported the code to other stacks
(notably USAGI). We speak of the PLD patch. A very important
feature of the PLD patch was that it can work with Lutz Jaenicke's
TLS patch for Postfix.
-
Dean Strik extended IPv6 support to platforms other than
KAME and USAGI, updated the patch to keep up with Postfix development,
and provided a combined IPv6 + TLS patch. Information about his
effort can be found on Dean Strik's Postfix website at
https://www.ipnet6.org/postfix/.
-
Wietse Venema took Dean Strik's IPv6 patch, merged it into
Postfix 2.2, and took the opportunity to eliminate all IPv4-specific
code from Postfix that could be removed. For systems without IPv6
support in the kernel and system libraries, Postfix has a simple
compatibility layer, so that it will use IPv4 as before.
