Details

Description:

The current version of postfix (3.3.1-2) is emitting warnings in the journal periodically (when mail is sent and received) such as:

Oct 22 21:23:36 host.name postfix/smtpd[7889]: warning: run-time library vs. compile-time header version mismatch: OpenSSL 1.1.1 may not be compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.0

There appear to be no substantial side effects of this, at least in my setup. The warning messages seem harmless aside from creating noise in the journal.

Additional info:
* postfix-3.3.1-2
* openssl-1.1.1-1

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure and run a postfix server accepting SMTP connections
2. Transfer some mail by SMTP
3. Check journal for postfix and grep for the warning
This task depends upon

Be assured we'll rebuild postfix when needed (say, on openssl ABI changes) but I see no reason to systematically rebuild it against new openssl releases just to quell harmless warnings.

In fact, this bug ticket is *not* a case of NOTABUG.

... It is in fact a case of "duplicate  FS#60063   FS#60101   FS#60429 ".
(It is true that those bug reports were closed as NOTABUG, but this is a separate matter.)

I'll just close with the following observation, that warnings are not errors due to the fact that they are warnings. Ask upstream not to add silly warnings, we're not recompiling @world for every package bump of any sort.
