release: 2.4.0: an application signs only as itself
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s

from-header-binding (docs/plans/from-header-binding.md, 9/9), at the owner's
word (2026-10-12, "Да").

  - A message's From: line is held to what its envelope sender is held to:
    any address of the application's domain, or the addresses of its list,
    with or without a +extension. Anything else is refused with 550 5.7.1 -
    another registered domain, the server's own name, a domain this server
    does not sign for. Until now an application could have mail signed with
    another domain's key by writing that domain into From:.
  - The check is the panel's, first in the milter chain and strict: while
    the panel does not answer, Postfix defers mail.
  - Server > Health counts what that costs - the panel's downtime under a
    running Postfix and the submissions turned away - and is laid out anew,
    boxes numbered by importance.
  - A refused row of the Outbound log says why in its tag.
  - Migration 0006.

Upgrading: mail whose From: is not the application's own stops being
accepted - another of your domains, an address off an application's list, a
visitor's address a form puts there. The guide says what to do about each.
A stopped panel now stops submission.

Not done, written into the plan at the owner's word: the Delivery log box on
a refused message's page, the log's status filter, "messages" that are
connections, and what was reasoned about rather than run - OpenDKIM's own
parser above all.

Cut: CHANGELOG 2.4.0 written (nothing had been put under [Unreleased]
while building); image pin 2.4.0 in compose, README, guide; version table,
roadmap, plan status. security.md: a malformed packet on a milter socket,
as an accepted risk. No tag: the owner tags when he decides to, so there is
no image of this version until then.

On the test server, on c817f08: go vet ./... ok, go test ./... ok
(23 packages), make e2e ok. This commit changes documents and the pin only.

Full detail: CHANGELOG.md (2.4.0).

downtime and the mail deferred for it. Trigger to revisit: those numbers
not staying at nothing - then the check moves into a process of its own
([plans/from-header-binding.md](plans/from-header-binding.md)).
- **A malformed packet on a milter socket of the panel ends the panel.** The
milter library indexes into an empty packet and nobody recovers the panic,
so the process exits and supervisord starts it again. The sockets are
reachable only inside the container, by the group Postfix is in (mode
0660); the journal milter always had this, and since `2.4.0` the seconds
of the restart defer mail instead of passing it unjournalled (technical
review, 2026-10-12). Trigger to revisit: anything untrusted able to open
a Unix socket in the container.
- **When the hostname is itself a sending domain,** the server's mail is
signed with that domain's key. Whoever may export the domain has the key,
and its applications may send as `postmaster@<hostname>` by right. The
